david takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years. breaking news on the afternoon edition, an explosion of applause and tears in saint peter's square as the first american pope in history addresses the world. pope leo the 14th, making his first remarks from the balcony to a very stunned crowd.

born cardinal robert prévost was chosen in a decisive vote by the cardinal electors on the second day of the conclave, his identity revealed about an hour after the white smoke poured from the chimney of the sistine chapel. good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us. i'm veronica macias in for anne makovec. it was a first and a surprise to many a pope from the united states chosen to lead the world's 1.4 billion catholics around the world right now. taking a live look at vatican city, saint peter's square packed with people from around the world who came to witness this very historic moment. there were many chants of usa breaking out in that crowd, and we have team coverage on this new pope with reaction from bay area catholics as well. but we begin with tina kraus in vatican city. >>the suspense is over. white smoke billowed out of the chimney atop the sistine

chapel, signaling there is a new pope. the crowd in saint peter's square erupted in excitement. for the first time, an american has been chosen. the cardinals elected chicago native cardinal robert provost. he holds dual citizenship with peru and speaks spanish. he's seen overall as a centrist on some key social issues. he's viewed as progressive. he has long embraced marginalized groups a lot like the late pope francis, who championed migrants and the poor. the church has a father again, and that gives me great joy. the papal name he chose leo the 14th. this was the largest conclave ever, with 133 cardinals participating from 70 countries, the vast majority appointed by pope francis. head of the conclave. a cbs news poll found a majority of u.s. catholics wanted the pontiff to continue the teachings of pope francis, but more than a third

hoped for someone more conservative, while 21% wanted someone more progressive. >veronica>catholics across the bay area. today, reacting to this historic news, our lauren toms live for us at saint mary's cathedral in san francisco. i'm sure people can't believe their ears. >>yeah, veronica, people are just starting to trickle in for afternoon mass here at saint mary's cathedral in the heart of san francisco. and i've spoken with a handful of parishioners who have come here from across the bay area, all to celebrate in the name of the new pope. a handful of people are not catholic, and they feel like this day, this excitement surrounding the new pope is a reason to bring together a handful of religions from across across the bay area. now, earlier, we also spoke with parishioners at saint peter and paul cathedral in washington square park, who expressed their surprise at an american

pope. >>it's surprising. i just saw something the other day about how america wasn't going to have a pope, because we have so many other things dominating the world that the pope was not going to be one of them. so it's very surprising. i don't know that this was on the radar. and so quickly. so obviously he was he was well respected. >>now, back here at saint mary's cathedral, again in the heart of san francisco, i'm joined by father liljedahl father. earlier you told me that you yourself were also shocked at the announcement of an american pope. what really brought on that surprise for you? well, the fact that my entire life i've been told that we would never have an american pope. i think even when i was a young boy, they'd say, oh, we're never going to have an american pope. and even in the last couple of weeks, talking with friends about who might be the next pope and, oh, will it be this guy or that guy whenever, you know, are now, pope leo would come up. they say, oh, but he's an american. it won't be him. and so if you

had asked me this morning, waking up, when will we have an american pope? i would have said, centuries from now, not hours from now. what do you feel like the dawn of this new pope? who, again, is an american? what do you feel like that means for not just the catholic church, but for spiritual people around the world? i think one of the things we can look at is what he said in his first public address as pope and also in his name choice. so in his first address, the first thing he mentioned was peace, that he wants to bring peace not only to the world, but peace to families. i'm trying to rely back on my my own interpretation of his italian. but peace to all these institutions and the name leo. leo the great was a great civil peace worker. and peace, i think, is something that we can unite to work for across religions. and so by speaking the truth that god desires peace among his people, it can appeal not only to catholics, but to people of goodwill around the world. well, thank you so much, father. and you heard it yourself. a very much a sense of excitement and optimism here with the dawn of a new pope.

veronica. >veronica>thank you. lauren. >>thank you lord. >veronica>that was the reaction at a conclave watch party at holy spirit church in fremont. the group of parishioners there, they also couldn't believe and contained their excitement at hearing the new pope was from america. >>yeah, everyone's excited, and i just i just hope this pope continues that legacy that pope francis has, has really, is really known for and has got that course going. >veronica>mario also says they were shocked an american was selected here. he said he hopes having a pope from the u.s. will help heal political division within the country. president trump also reacting to the news he posted on social media, saying in part, quote, what excitement and what a great honor for our country. i look forward to meeting pope leo the 14th. it will be a very meaningful moment. governor gavin newsom also releasing a statement that said in part,

quote, we trust that he will shepherd us through the best of our church's teachings to respect human dignity, care for the poor, and wish for the common good of all of us in a fractured world. we pray his voice becomes a bridge between faiths, nations and beliefs and a force for peace rooted in our shared humanity. and cardinal robert prévost was considered a long shot here to be selected as pope. sabrina franza from our chicago affiliate, sat down with his former colleague for some insight into what we can expect. >>father mark francis studied with cardinal robert prevost. cardinals. the two were seminary classmates at the catholic theological union in chicago from 1978 until 1982. they also both worked in rome in the early 2000. he's not a showboat. he is very calm but extremely intelligent and extremely compassionate. what are your hopes for the

next pope? i think coming together as a christian community, that we're best able to read the signs of the times and figure out what we need to do as church. prevost is seen as a progressive on many social issues. overall, many view him as a centrist. like pope francis, prevost has spent time embracing marginalized groups such as the poor. he has dual citizenship between the u.s. and peru. he's a person who's very sensitive and is concerned to allow everyone to have a voice. would that papacy look similar to that of pope francis? it would be similar in terms of basic goals. i think that the kind of style he would bring to the papacy would be calm, steady, very direct kind of guidance. >veronica>joining us now is matthew carnes. he is the vice president of mission and ministry at santa clara university. father, thank you for joining us today. what was your initial reaction to

hearing an american pope here was chosen? and what can you tell us about pope leo the 14th? >>you know, great surprise was my first reaction. my latin is good enough that i could pick out his name. and when i heard provost, i thought, wow, this is someone that i was very excited by but didn't think would be one of the top contenders. he brings a an appreciation for the experience of marginalized peoples. he himself. people are making a big deal about him being an american. and that's true. but i would say equally important is his experience in peru. and he mentioned in his remarks that it was the people there that formed him as a priest. their struggles, their efforts, their dignity. that's something he carries into this role. and then his choice of the name leo the 14th, he's hearkening back to leo the 13th, who at the end of the 19th century, set forth so much of the catholic church's social teaching about the dignity of each human person, about workers rights, about social justice. so he's staking a claim to all those things that are very important and very exciting for our church at this time.

>veronica>very many catholics in latin america. you're right there. and do we know if he's going to be similar or different from pope francis, and will he be just as liberal or progressive? >>well, you know, i think he'll reflect many of the interests of pope francis. he was a bishop who coordinated all the bishops in latin america. so he has an appreciation of the experiences of all those countries. so a concern for migrants and for the poor will certainly be front and center. i think maybe a certain concern and critique of capitalism and the inequalities that can flow from it. and then on other social issues, i think he'll probably be a bit more moderate, but we'll have to see and really see, you know, often when someone comes into the papacy, especially with the expansion of vision, he expressed, you know, in his remarks, he mentioned the church has an unconditional love for everyone, everyone, much like francis did. so i'm very hopeful and optimistic for the way he will convey a kind of welcome and a kind of openness to all. >veronica>and moving forward, what happens now? will there be

a special mass for the new pope? >>yes. so in the next day or two, i actually haven't looked at the exact details, but they'll have a big mass that kind of launches his papacy. of course, now he's meeting with cardinals and starting to set up his central administration. a very normal part of this, actually, is all the cardinals and all the different offices submit their resignations so that he has the freedom to either choose new people or have them continue. so in the next couple of days, we'll be watching that very carefully to see what sort of appointments he makes in key offices and where we're headed for the future. >veronica>matthew carnes with santa clara university, thank you again for joining us. >>thank you. >veronica>don't forget, cbs news will have continuing coverage on the new pope. we will be bringing you reaction throughout the day as well on our newscast. and you can also find the very latest on kpix.com and the cbs news app. still ahead, how san jose says it closed a budget deficit without slashing city jobs. we're going to give you a full breakdown. >jessica>and it's a warm day all throughout the bay area. we're gearing up for 80

>veronica>welcome back. a look at some bay area headlines for you people squatting at an oakland encampment on east 12th street. they're on notice now to clear out by may 14th. that's next wednesday. the city is helping people by moving some into an extended hotel in north oakland. people who live there say that there's not enough space for everyone. san jose city officials say their new budget proposal has closed

a multi-million dollar deficit without major layoffs. good news here. city leaders say the $5.7 billion budget reflects san jose's improving economic picture and limits the impact on city services and pay for city workers. some six months ago, city officials believed layoffs were looming as the city focused on public safety, reducing homelessness and building more housing for people. now, the city says they plan to add a handful of jobs. public safety services will get 27% of the operating budget. environmental and utility services get 30%. the city is also allocating 10% of its budget towards neighborhood services, transportation and aviation services as well. right now, we're going to get ahead of the forecast here. things are shaping up to look pretty nice out there. meteorologist jessica burch is giving us a look. >jessica>that is one of the

most beautiful shots i've seen of the golden gate in quite some time, actually. gosh, it's such a warm day for us today. and as we take a quick look at what's happening for us widespread throughout the bay, you're going to notice we're a little bit above average for this time of year when it comes to our daytime highs. i'm pulling up the map right now and i want to show you a couple of things. we're sitting in the low 80s today in the santa clara valley, upper 80s, close to the 90s this afternoon, over into areas like antioch. we're back into the low 80s in areas like concord, stretched all the way over into livermore with 80s all the way up into novato and santa rosa. keep in mind, it was yesterday in those exact areas we were in the 60s, at least, up in the north bay throughout wine country. so we have warmed up significantly just within a 24 hour period alone. and we're not done just yet. it's going to be a warm day for us tomorrow as we kick off the weekend, let's take a quick look at what's happening for us tonight. the winds are going to get pretty breezy around the 4:00 hour at times along that coast up to around 2020 five mile per hour winds. we could see that anywhere from san francisco up into bodega bay, lighter conditions in our inland spots into the overnight hours tonight. here's that coastal fog that's going to start dissipating, though, as we head into the afternoon hours today. still kind of hugging the golden gate bridge

a little tight like you saw just a second ago. but we'll see more clear conditions into the overnight hours tonight. and tomorrow is just going to be a sunny, nice, mild day across the board. now heading into this weekend that's going to change. we have a cold front moving in. so those sunny skies warm temperatures, it's going to come to an end pretty fast. i want to show you what that's going to do for us as we head into next monday and tuesday. for now, we're holding on tight to 80s, close to the 90s in our friday and saturday forecast, with sunny skies in our inland spots. look at that 20 degree jump from saturday all the way into monday, all due to one cold front that's sweeping in from offshore. that's going to bring in some rain, that's going to bring in some clouds. it's also dropping our temperatures down to. you'll notice that in the bay also, just not nearly as much of a big temperature difference, the same way that you'll see in some of our inland spots, for example, san francisco compared to antioch or concord, for example, we're going to see 70 turning into 60s, but then we kind of hold on tight to 60s kicking off next week, slowly climbing back up into the 70s into mid next week. so keep in mind the umbrella is going to be needed for monday, potentially. tuesday too. will clear up into mid next week with a nice little warm up

right around the corner to. it's a beautiful day to get out there though. right now. get out there, get some fresh air. for now, back to you. >veronica>looking forward to it. still ahead president trump announcing a new trade deal with the uk.

the warriors they're going to be without their top star tonight bu they face off in minnesota against the timberwolves for game two of the second round of the playoffs. steph curry is out for at least a week to recover from a grade one hamstring strain. so he's also expected to miss games three and four when the series shifts to chase center here at home in san francisco. meantime, the golden state valkyries gearing up for game two of their preseason game this sunday. on tuesday, they fell to the los angeles sparks. but that was just by one point. but the valkyries, the head coach here. natalie nakase, she made history before the team played their first ever game. she's the first asian-american coach in the wnba. over in the nba, there's only been one

asian-american head coach in less than 2% of the wnba players are asian. compare that to the bay area itself, where 2020 census data numbers are showing more than a quarter of the population is asian. now the coach. this is her first new position, an opportunity to connect with the community here. and amanda hari has more. >>natalie nakase is picking up the ball and taking charge of the golden state valkyries, and she's making history while doing it. nakase is the first asian american head coach in the wnba. i'm very proud of being an asian american. it's a major step forward for asian representation in professional sports. historically, asian americans have been stereotyped as more academic than athletic. but nakase is proving you can be both. i stand for the misunderstood. i think the fact that there isn't a ton of visibility as

being an asian american and head coach and professional sports, but so to me, like, it's just got to be your passion. in the nba's male counterpart, the nba, there's only been one asian head coach. according to the institute of diversity and ethics in sport. less than 2% of wnba players are asian. it's a stark contrast to the bay area. 2020 census data shows more than a quarter of the population is asian. i think i'm connecting with the community. i just spoke to someone who understood that my dad, when we talk about being proud, i said, he does the head nod and she resonated with that. she's like, my dad. my dad did that too. at the center of sports and social justice at cal state east bay, co-director matthew atencio says they study how to promote inclusion and social justice in sports. so the wnba has been the standard in terms of hiring of of racial, members of society

and also gender wise. he says representation like this is vital for a diverse community like the bay area. the old phrase of if they can see it, they can be, it is really, really important. it gives young girls and even coaches in the bay area something to look up to. and i think that awareness of the valkyries being in town for the women's game is going to be tremendous. somebody said valkyrie. and so far the community is supporting nakase fans filled thrive city to watch her and the rest of the management team select players in the team's first wnba draft, including an asian player, caitlin chen. the fans are ready. and the fans understand basketball, so that means a lot. for nakase. being a woman in asian has shaped her, but so has basketball and her drive to be a great coach. that's why she believes she's getting this opportunity to lead. the valkyries. just work really
