fires at a bay area

school in less than a >>month. i mean, why would someone do this? >>how the school is stepping up to try and keep it from happening again. then a local man afraid for his family's future. the court decision that's left him wondering if everything he's worked for could be taken away. plus, a south bay fire captain accused >>of >>stealing drugs. why? that's not the only charge he's facing. and how it could have impacted people in an emergency. and? colorful costumes and cultures coming together. the unique story behind a bay area group getting ready for carnival. >>hi, i'm sara donchey. this is

not the scene you want to see at a playground, much less one at an elementary school. families of kids at lafayette elementary in the outer richmond are looking for answers. after a fire destroyed part of their playground. it happened late sunday night, less than a month after another fire tore through a storage container. our amanda hari spoke with families trying to make sense of that. >>playground equipment melted and burned after a late night fire. many people stopped by lafayette elementary school in the outer richmond to see it for themselves, including parent sean phillips. >>i think we're all in disbelief. i mean, why would someone do this? >>his son and third grader at the school, sebastian, echoed his sentiment. >>i mean, i kind of feel like who would who would do that? i mean, there's nothing wrong with the play structure. >>what's left on the playground now sits behind a fence surrounded by caution tape.

sebastian says it made him sad to come to school and see it. >>oh, yeah. definitely. yeah, especially for, like, the kindergartners because, like, they love dancing so much. >>san francisco fire says calls came in around 1030 sunday night. they were able to put the fire out quickly, but not before serious damage was done. just yards away from the play structure is a burned storage shed. that fire happened in the early hours of may 1st. lafayette pta says every item in the container was damaged or destroyed, from sweatshirts to handmade decorations. investigators are looking into whether either fire was set intentionally. phillips thinks two fires in less than three weeks look suspicious. >>it doesn't sound like it was someone trying to stay warm. it sounds like someone just wanted to see something go up and see, like, what's going on right now. media reports, people getting upset. >>the school sent an email to parents telling them about what

happened and the ongoing investigation. school leaders wrote that they're taking the situation seriously. the email went on to say, quote, sfusd has arranged for a security guard to visit our school every night through the end of the school year to complete an inspection and help ensure the safety of our campus. lastly, the san francisco police department will make regular patrols of the school overnight. phillips says that helps, but he still feels unsettled. >>i think just that feeling of that intrusion, you know, it's like when someone breaks into your house and does something you just feel, you know, you know, you're safe. the intruder is gone, but you feel invaded. >>some san francisco families are accusing a local nonprofit of mismanaging millions of dollars worth of donations. the money was supposed to go to building new playgrounds in dogpatch. one family says their foundation donated $3 million to the san francisco parks alliance, meant to build two playgrounds at crane cove park. but now they tell us. the alliance reportedly spent more

than half of that money on general expenditures. the alliance previously said two playgrounds and a new dog park would be done next month, but without the money, the park is still without playgrounds. >>when they broke ground, we were so excited, even more excited to learn that there's going to be a playground coming. and that was that was a long time ago. that was six, seven years ago when those first plans came out. and you know, that pad has been sitting empty since the park opened in 2020. and since 2020, you know, we've grown a family. >>the parks alliance distributes private money to city projects and help smaller organizations collect donations. the san francisco chronicle reports the nonprofit used at least $3.8 million earmarked for specific projects to cover its operating expenses. the previous ceo and cfo are no longer with the organization. the new ceo released a statement that reads in part sfpa is working hard to correct the errors of the past and begin a new era of transparency and fiscal accountability with our community partners and with the

city and county of san francisco. the fight over the trump administration's immigration policies is still playing out in courts across the nation and here in the bay area, too. the first flight carrying people who chose to self-deport from the u.s. landed in honduras today. some were families trying to avoid being separated. meanwhile, a federal appeals court rejected a request from trump officials to delay an order that requires them to facilitate the return of an asylum seeker. the venezuelan refugee, known as christian in court filings, was deported to el salvador. also today, the supreme court allowed the trump administration to end a program shielding hundreds of thousands of venezuelans from possible deportation. former president biden granted temporary protected status to 350,000 people, allowing them to legally live and work in the u.s.. president trump quickly moved to revoke their status, but a federal judge in san francisco blocked it. the supreme court decision overrules that. the bay area is

home to thousands of venezuelan immigrants. our lauren toms spoke with one father who is worried about what this ruling means for his family's future. >>it's maravilhosa la zona de. this man asked to go by andres. he's lived in the bay area for the last two years after leaving venezuela nearly a decade ago to escape what he calls a political dictatorship. he traveled through south america and eventually obtained permanent residency here in the bay area. i arrived in the united states of america in 2023 as a refugee. it's a marvelous region, the bay area. he asked to keep his identity hidden out of fear that his status could change at any minute. he has permanent residency along with one of his children granted under the biden administration, but his wife and other child still have temporary protections as they wait for their permanent applications to be accepted. now they worry their lives could be upended. the supreme court has cleared the way for the trump administration for now to revoke temporary protected status for hundreds

of thousands of venezuelans living in the u.s.. estados unidos. i like the united states because it's a country where people work and i like. to work. i have been able to move my family forward thanks to my job, thanks to my wife, and i feel very comfortable here. i feel unsure because i don't know what decisions are going to come, especially for us who are permanent residents. andres says he's fallen in love with the bay area, but he lives in fear not just for himself but for the greater venezuelan community, as the ruling could pave the way for deportations. how are you going to remove protections for people who are honest, hardworking, who have paperwork, and who have their jobs and good morale? it doesn't seem fair to me. the issue has been in limbo since february, when homeland security secretary kristi noem ended an 18 month extension of temporary protected status to venezuelans. in march, san francisco based federal judge edward chen blocked the effort, stating that it could harm hundreds of thousands of lives in the u.s.. san francisco and san jose are home to two of the

largest venezuelan communities in the state. usf law professor bill henke says the ruling could have much greater implications beyond just the venezuelan population. >>it sets the precedent for his ability to start terminating all the other tps groups, and that includes people from haiti and el salvador, ukraine, honduras, yemen, afghanistan, sudan. >>the ruling wasn't surprising, he says, in line with president trump's immigration agenda. but it's likely the tip of the iceberg. >>the issue is a potentially big issue because it can be very disruptive to the communities that these various tps holders have embedded themselves in for a generation. >>for andres, he's taking each day as it comes. they are hardworking and honest. we follow the laws, and i feel bad for the supreme court's decision. give them hope. give them the opportunity

to make this country grow and make ourselves grow as a venezuelan community. with hopes to see the venezuelan community protected as permanent residents in the place they now call home. >>so today's ruling does not affect a quarter million venezuelans who recently temporarily received temporary protected status in 2021. it also does not apply to a half a million haitian tps holders. their status ends in august, but that order is also being challenged in court. eight veteran san jose fire captain is facing felony charges tonight after allegedly stealing and tampering with drugs. those drugs came from within the fire department. mark mccollum appeared in a san jose courtroom today. the santa clara county da says on more than one occasion, vials of morphine and a sedative were tampered with. the da thinks they were replaced with a different substance entirely, and paramedic reported that morphine given to a patient had no effect on their pain in one instance, and that raised some

concerns. the vials were kept inside a locked box at fire station number four, just off lee avenue. >>i just think we all expect that when we go, when we see a paramedic and they're administering medication to us that we're getting that medication. >>an audit found in all vials had been tampered with at 17 fire stations in the city. moallem is only charged for burglary at fire station 29 because investigators say he was placed at the scene of the crime. but more charges could be coming. mullen was previously arrested in 2013 for possession and drug use. tomorrow will mark a new era for oakland. barbara lee will be sworn in as mayor, making her the first african american woman to hold that office. lee was selected by voters to serve out recalled mayor sheng tao's term. it wraps up at the end of next year, and before she even takes office, she's got a lot to do, a lot to get done in a short amount of time. more specifically, there is oakland's budget deficit,

concerns about public safety, and the challenge of clearing homeless encampments and getting people into housing. one oakland community leader has high hopes about lee's incoming administration. bishop bob jackson has known lee for decades, and all through her political career, he says she beat the odds, accomplishing more than anyone thought she could. he says she understands what people in oakland are struggling with, but for him, there is only one priority for the start of her term. >>our biggest problem is public safety. that's what's running people away from the city. that's what's causing the businesses to leave. >>bishop bob says bringing people and tax revenue back will happen in time. once public safety concerns are addressed. but he says banding together and giving lee a chance is the only way to make that happen. barbara lee is 78 years old. she has not indicated whether she wants to run again when her term is up. the city council will declare the results of the special election during a meeting tomorrow. one of the brightest weekends in san francisco is on

its way, and you'll get to meet one of the dance groups showing off their moves for carnival. we introduce you to the small but mighty community, bringing a unique history to the bay area. >>a pleasantly warm start to the workweek today, seeing just a little bit of fog right along the coast, but it's largely going to hang out closer to the coast, and tomorrow's temperatures should be pretty similar to where we were today a mix of 60s, 70s and 80s, but there is more of a warm up in store later this week. tracking that and the memorial day weekend forecast. first alert weather. >>plus, if you've got your eyes on a special nintendo switch game, you might want to double check you're not getting eyes in return. >>tonight. colbert's all new with mission impossible's angela bassett.

as long as probably forever,

there's only been one “frosty.” cause what would we even do? add a bunch of new swirls and mix-ins like oreo cookies or pop-tarts pieces? that's kind of genius actually. for a fresh way to frosty gotta be wendy's.

>>one of the bay area's liveliest and most colorful traditions, is back this weekend. carnival is this sunday in san francisco, and all this week we're introducing you to some of the groups taking part in that huge celebration. this year's theme is afro mundo. the african diaspora in the americas. len

ramirez introduces us to a delightful dance group that traces its traditions back to revolutionary roots in mexico. >>bueno, bueno bueno bueno. >>the color, the joy, the irresistibly friendly faces and that nonstop dance beat. it's all part of negritude yanga, one of the most unique dance groups in the bay area. coming soon to carnaval san francisco. >>a la. >>negritude, yanga is made up of the small but fiercely proud afro-mexican community. it includes members like enrique guzman and martha munoz diaz, this year's yanga king and queen who now live on the peninsula in south bay but were born in the group's namesake town in mexico. >>when i'm not the king, i work for a construction company in santa clara. we're so proud to

say, hey, i'm from yanga. >>yanga is known as the first free settlement for former slaves in the americas. named after gaspar yanga, an african who led a successful rebellion against his captors, the town was officially recognized by spain in 1618 as a safe haven for escaped slaves. today, yanga in the state of veracruz is still a thriving community and a symbol of afro-mexican heritage and black resistance. >>it's nice to tell people that we're still there and we exist. nobody knows. we're trying to tell them, hey, we're there and we are proud to be afro descendants. >>their afro-mexican pride can be seen in the designs of their colorful costumes. last year was negritude yanga's first appearance at carnival. this year, they'll be joined by a sister dance group filled with friends and family members who will be coming all the way from

yanga in mexico. >>it's going to be bigger, you know, for the carnival in san francisco, it's going to be more exciting. it's we're going to be very happy to see them here. i hope you know, they can come. yanga primer pueblo libre de américa en el carnaval de san francisco. >>the group sent this audio postcard to carnival's organizers, excited to show their presence in northern california, and the visit fits perfectly into this year's carnival theme, afro mundo. >>llego la esperanza. >>although only about 2% of mexico's population is afro-mexican, negritude yanga is part of a movement that celebrates this identity, culture and history. >>and i'm so proud to be native and african descendants. brandon allen. >>and members of the group are reclaiming their heritage and adding their own afro-mexican

flair to the rich cultural fabric of the bay area. >>we will bring you the carnival parade. live coverage starts at 10:00 sunday morning on our sister station, pix plus, and streaming on cbs news bay area. >>first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at kia. kia movement that inspires. >>all right, so everyone is fully recovered from beta breakers. >>not >>just not a hint of anything that happened yesterday and just ready to go and ready to interact. >>jump back into carnival this weekend. >>yes, yes. it was beautiful yesterday. >>yeah. turned into a really nice day after a windy saturday. we're just talking about >>that >>in the commercial break that it. >>it was uncomfortably >>windy. it was breezy. it was chilly. we made up for it yesterday and now we have nice weather. as we head through the next several days, let's take a look at the big picture pattern here, and we'll look at the whole west coast skyline as we look at the

view from space. the satellite perspective shows the marine layer cloud cover making its way along the coast. it's not going to make a big push inland. we'll check that out on futurecast momentarily. but in terms of any more substantial clouds, a little deeper in the atmosphere, you have to look way up to our north or out over the pacific. and that's going to remain the case for the next couple of days. so dry weather is going to prevail throughout the seven day forecast, which is not a surprise now that we're in the back half of may. but believe it or not, there are some hints that maybe some moisture is going to try to head our way beyond the scope of the seven day forecast. this is the 6 to 10 day precipitation outlook from the climate prediction center. i'm standing at the bay area. we're in this lighter shade of green, which means it's not a strong signal, but there is better than a 5050 chance of at least some measurable rain before we finish the month of may. and as we look at the 8 to 14 day outlook, which takes us into early june, we're right on the edge of that lightest shade of green. so it's still possible that maybe a little bit of additional rain would make its way into the bay area, but it's not going to be enough to erase the rainfall deficit. the seasonal rainfall totals since the beginning of the water year

on october 1st. those are pretty much locked in at this point, and we fell short of normal rainfall amounts. even in san francisco, 89% of average, but not bad. close to 20in of rain, but less than 60% of total rainfall for livermore and just over 70% in san jose. santa rosa was the big winner. we had that north to south shift in the big picture pattern, and you can see that even around the bay area, santa rosa picked up 125% of normal rainfall. too bad they can't share it with the rest of us. we are looking outside and seeing fog free conditions over downtown san francisco. the temperature has retreated to the mid 50s, still a mix of 50s and 60s on the map at the moment. those numbers will kind of converge into the lower half of the 50s for most of us by early tomorrow morning, and we'll see some fog developing as we head through the rest of tonight. let's switch over to the local map, and we'll track that fog that's mainly going to be hanging out closer to the coast, but trying to make its way inside the bay, maybe a little bit developing in some of the inland valleys. but it's such a compressed marine layer from just the weight of the atmosphere on top of us. it's

not going to be able to overcome the terrain obstacles around the bay and make its way very far inland. once the sun comes up, even around the bay and along the coast, we will see the sun breaking through and those temperatures will start to warm up, except at the coast. the onshore breeze continues. so you're going to be a mix of 50s and 60s there, a mix of 60s and 70s around the bay, temperatures in the north bay, a mix of 70s and 80s in the warmest spots. no surprise, far east of the oakland hills into the mid to even upper 80s. some of the warmest spots around antioch and brentwood into the upper half of the 80s, and near 80 degrees in the santa clara valley. these numbers in general running about 5 to 10 degrees above what's normal for this time of year. we'll keep the warm air in place again, except at the coast. the warmest day will be wednesday, when you just barely crack 60 degrees, and then you settle back into the upper 50s. plenty of sunshine the next couple of days hopefully will make it feel warmer before we get back into our mix of clouds and sunshine. thursday and friday and over the holiday weekend, bayside temperatures are going to be above normal tomorrow and wednesday and then retreating a bit thursday,

settling back into the upper 60s for the three day memorial day weekend. and it's a similar trend inland, just a little more variability in terms of the warmest days and the coolest days. temperatures at their warmest approaching 90 degrees on wednesday and then settling down to the mid 80s saturday, sunday and for memorial day on monday. but that is where we are supposed to be for this time of year. we'll keep you updated on that holiday weekend forecast. >>all right there, mr. hagen. straight ahead in sports. giants bats have some issues and the brinks truck has been making deposits at the forty-niners. another star player was given 63 million reasons to say yes, please.

side of chicago. the large artwork is near section 140, where the future pontiff attended one of the most celebrated games in the white sox's 125 year history. game one of the 2005 world series against the astros. >>okay. >>it's certainly something we've never seen before. a pope at a at. >>a i like it white sox >>fan. yeah. >>love it. yeah. >>giants would have been nicer i think. >>yeah. but we're going to talk about the red and gold. we have >>to we >>have all the money's been floating around. >>yes. >>4949 centennial boulevard. news and notes. no more holdouts, no drama, no excuses either just 49 or football. if they're going the distance, like al davis always said, you got to pay the players. three days after brock purdy got his bag, linebacker fred warner was the next domino. he's back as the highest paid linebacker in the game, after agreeing to a three year extension worth up to $63 million, with purdy and

george kittle all have new deals. here's all-pro fred. >>this is super important everyone, right. and you know, kyle kind of touched on it at the end of last season how he wanted everybody back. and just for the ability for us to train together and have that sacrifice early on to to to build this thing the right way. >>baseball on the giants after a three game weekend sweep of the a's, the royals put a languishing offense to the test. matt chapman and an unbreakable bond with former a's teammate mark canha. so let's start you off with robby ray, who did a pretty good job of keeping royals hitters off balance. look how he mixed it up here. seven shutout innings and struck out seven. he just couldn't get his guys to score. now against cupertino native stanford alum kris bubic, he induced a soft tyler fitzgerald liner. and then ... adames got caught too far from third. that's a seventh inning double play. next half inning tyler rogers in for ray, and with two

outs, he'd like to have this one back. vinnie pasqua. nino put it where only the big boys go. a two run blast was the first runs of the game. royals won it 3 to 1 and messed with a clubhouse vibe. wnba natalie nakase and the valkyries are preparing for wednesday's game with the washington mystics. at last friday's home opener, doc rivers, one of the coaching mentors, was at chase center. nick bosa was on rivers staff with the clippers, and she credits him with giving her the belief that she could become a head coach. >>he believed in me. he kind of said it without really realizing. he just pulled me aside one time and he's just like, hey nat! he's like, when you get your squad, you become a head coach. he's like, you should do this defense. but i was just like, did he just tell me i'm going to be a head coach? you know, i think this is like my third year with him and he didn't understand. but that statement right there,

like my confidence just just skyrocketed. >>so you a little encouragement can do i had a similar conversation with a saint mary's student tonight at a fundraiser. >>and they're going. >>to give him a little encouragement. you can do >>this. i hope they take my job. >>one >>and thank you so much. appreciate it. we've probably all been given a prank gift at some point, but it probably didn't come in the form of a game you actually wanted to buy and play.

some people do wait months to get their hands on a video game that they've been excited about for, i guess, a very long time. and lately some people have been ripping open the package and finding googly eyes. no cartridge, just a cartoonish eye staring back at you. >>weird, >>that's a problem for some nintendo switch users. it's not a new trend. it's been an issue for the last six months. apparently, the googly eyes are being found in nintendo switch game cartridges all across the country, and it doesn't seem to matter which game you buy. the eyes being found in games like

luigi's mansion, the legend of zelda, and animal crossing. >>i honestly didn't even know what to do. it was a googly eye. it's pretty uncommon. i can't say i didn't laugh when i saw it, one out of shock, but two out of like. what? >>as long as they stay out of pokemon sword and shield, which i've gotten very good >>at. that's a thing. okay. >>well, listen, it's. i'm just being a >>mom. yeah, >>actually, i like it. and i secretly play alone. so that was michael in pennsylvania. he says that he found his googly eye two weeks ago after he bought a game from walmart. he was able to get in touch with nintendo, though, and he got a new game replacement. nintendo hasn't commented on this, but experts say it could be happening anywhere along the supply chain, from manufacturing to packaging to shelving. they suggest buying a game in store and then opening it before you leave the store. >>okay, >>okay. >>all right. my son also does that too. >>because he just can't >>wait. he rips it open. i'm like, please don't drop that teeny little cartridge.
