>>and a seventh person has been found dead after a horrific boating accident during a sudden storm in tahoe. the new details on the investigation is a heartbroken community tries to make sense of what happened. plus, we'll introduce you to a bay area doctor and refugee, bringing fashion designers together in a unique show of support for the lgbtq community. >>a lot of places around the world, and unfortunately, the wrong stories are being told about, like who an lgbt person is. >>we begin with major developments in the middle east. within the last two hours. president trump announcing iran and israel have agreed to a, quote, complete and total cease fire. earlier in the day, got a sign that iran may be willing to de-escalate the conflict. iran launched an airstrike on a us base in qatar that did not result in any deaths or major
5:01 pm
injuries, and it may appear to be intended that way. reporter erica brown has the very latest from capitol hill, where members of congress will be briefed on the u.s. operation tomorrow. >>well, ryan, president trump announcing a cease fire agreement between israel and iran after he called for peace following iran's retaliatory strikes on the largest u.s. military base in the middle east. and earlier, president trump reacted to those strikes, calling it a very weak response that was expected and did little damage. president trump announced monday that israel and iran have agreed on what he called a complete and total cease fire, a move he said would end a more than week long conflict between the two countries. the war will be considered ended, trump wrote on truth social, indicating that the cease fire would begin at midnight eastern time. so far, there has been no official word yet from israel or iran on a cease fire. earlier, iran launched short and medium range
5:02 pm
missiles at the air base in qatar monday, the largest u.s. military base in the middle east. the attack came in retaliation for u.s. strikes on three key iranian nuclear sites. a u.s. defense official says there have been no reports of u.s. casualties. >>this is the home of u.s. central command. there are a range of critical assets at this base drones, aircraft and more. >>the attack happened just as president trump was set to meet with his national security team. diplomatic sources tell cbs news iran's retaliation was expected and calibrated. lawmakers on capitol hill are mostly divided along party lines over president trump launching the military strikes. but one republican says congress needs to vote on social media. the republican thomas massie of kentucky wrote, under the war powers act, the president is required to withdraw from hostilities in iran within 60 days unless he gets a vote of congress. others are standing by the president's decision. >>given the situation that we're looking at right now, i'm going
5:03 pm
to give the benefit of the doubt to to the president and the administration. >>members of congress are set to be briefed tomorrow on the situation now here on capitol hill. lawmakers pushed for votes on war powers resolutions to try to limit the us's involvement in this conflict, and house speaker mike johnson pushed back, saying it is not the time to be political. and he says he does not believe that a vote on a war powers resolution is necessary. ryan, back to you. >>and south bay democratic representative ro khanna is a co-sponsor of the war powers bill, being introduced in congress. and earlier today, i spoke to retired marine corps colonel brendan kearney about iran's attack on the u.s. base in qatar. he believes it's primarily a message from iranian leaders to their own people. >>and i think this is a symbolic response, nothing more.
5:04 pm
>>and within the last two hours, one of the last flights out of qatar before air travel was shut down did arrive at sfo. our sooji nam spoke to loved ones of several passengers about that very tense journey and sooji. i can only imagine they're there. they're just glad to be on safe ground right now. >>brian. that's right. the flight from doha international airport landed about two hours ago here at sfo, and many families that i talked to say they were very anxious waiting for that plane to land safely. now again, the plane here to the flight here from qatar was delayed for about an hour to an hour and a half as flight officials were clearing the airspace after the missile attacks. the hamad international airport is roughly 30 miles from the al udeid air base in qatar, and this man and his family live in oakland. he was waiting for his daughter, who was traveling from qatar, and says he was concerned after hearing the news of the missile strikes, but is glad that she is back
5:05 pm
home. >>it's all about the safety and she's my daughter. of course i'm worried and and of course, you know other people too, you know? so i care about you, you know. >>and then we talked to this gentleman from cupertino. he was waiting for his wife, who was traveling all the way from india and had a layover in doha. total flight time was more than 20 hours to get back to the bay area. he says his wife is exhausted from not only the long flight, but from the delay at the doha airport. but again, it's grateful that she is okay and made it back home safely. >>i'm relieved. i think she's exhausted, i'm sure, but i'm relieved that she made it without any blockage. i mean, i just read on the way in that they closed the airspace, which means she may have been stuck in doha if her flight had landed much later. >>qatar and other gulf states have now reopened their airspace, and airlines have resumed their operations. these passengers that just got off
5:06 pm
tell me that again. they're very grateful. after just hours of long travel day to be back home here in the bay area. ryan. >>all right. suji nam, reporting live from sfo. well, there's also questions about what the conflict with iran could mean for supplies of oil and gas, and whether that could result in higher energy prices for americans. it hinges on iran's threat to close a major commercial waterway vital for the flow of crude into global markets. >>any change in supply or demand, or even the threat of a change can impact prices. iran is not only a top ten oil producer, but it can also control the strait of hormuz roughly 20 to 30% of the world's oil moves through that passage. >>while experts say it's unlikely, o'grady says if iran decides to block access to the strait, that could mean a big change in oil supply, which will send prices soaring. right now, california's average for a gallon of regular is $4.66.
5:07 pm
oakland, san francisco and san jose are all over four. 70 a gallon. well, dueling court filings in san francisco today in the legal battle over president trump's deployment of the national guard on response of immigration protests in los angeles. attorneys for the trump administration and governor gavin newsom both filed briefs in federal court. judge charles breyer had directed the president returned control of the national guard to california, but the ninth circuit court of appeals sided with the trump administration. california argues breyer should still weigh in on whether the deployment violates a 147 year old law that bars using the military against citizens. the trump administration says he does not have jurisdiction because of the appeals court's decision. breyer is expected to rule in the coming days. well, firefighters in contra costa county had their hands full this afternoon, and their aggressive response showing the level of concern about these dry, gusty conditions. and mackovic has been tracking the multiple fires that did pop up. >>now, firefighters were able
5:08 pm
to get a handle on this fire in rodeo. earlier, it was burning near several homes and close to highway four. it broke out at around noon in some grassland and quickly grew to burn about one square mile. here is a look at the location. this is on the eastern edge of rodeo, just north of highway four and east of sterling drive, and cal fire was not messing around with this fire. they used water from the nearby carquinez strait to help stop the spread, and they called in the cavalry as far as their air attack, including this 737 air tanker. it used to be a southwest airlines plane. it's here on loan from the government in australia, a tanker holds 4000 gallons of fire retardant. right now, it's operating out of mcclellan in sacramento. the flames were seen close to the phillips 66 carbon plant off of franklin canyon road and just yards from some homes on dennis court. we spoke with some of the property owners about the firefighters response. >>because they immediately told us to evacuate. they didn't even say, hey, you gotta you
5:09 pm
gotta wait it out. it might come to your house, it might not. the firefighters did an amazing job. i mean, they got on it and they had plenty of people here and rigs. i can't believe there had to be 100 different fire trucks from different areas come in. it was amazing. >>and we spotted this group of goats from our chopper. they were in the area before the fire to graze and ironically, to help get rid of fire fuel. well, it looks like they did a pretty good job in that spot and they stayed safe. also, near mount diablo, people were told to prepare to evacuate after a grass fire sparked that one burning five acres that threatened homes between blackhawk road and green valley trail. here's a look at that area. from our chopper, you can see firefighters there putting out hot spots and a dusting of fire retardant on the trees and vegetation near the burn. the evacuation warnings have since been lifted. right. >>and and one of those helicopters have responded to the fire rodeo have flown in from napa county, where cal fire was showing off some of
5:10 pm
the new additions to its aerial arsenal. kenny choi got a closer look at the aircraft and how they are making a difference on the ground. >>cal fire says its hawk is an all around better firefighting tool than the helicopters they used to have. >>this is nico mattioli's office. on any given day, the cal fire hawk is part of its initial aerial response to wildfires. >>we can put a lot of fire out with one drop, and so if we have a quicker turnaround based on where our site is, we can get a lot of water on the fire very quickly. and with back pumps, chainsaws and hand tools, we're just fighting the fire directly. >>the fire agency has 14 sikorsky s-70i choppers, replacing an aging fleet of super huey helicopters. two more will be added this summer. >>this gives us a lot more capabilities. we're basically stepping up in the type of aircraft, allowing more weight, more water. >>mattioli and his crew are stationed in lake county. this
5:11 pm
boeing ch 47 chinook is based in napa, while the sikorsky 60 blackhawk is based in sonoma. >>these units will slow the fire spread so our ground resources can get in and put a control line in to stop forward progress. >>napa county officials say since 2021, when these type one helicopters became part of its local response strategy, the county has seen on average, two wildfires per year exceeding ten acres in size. in the decade before that, board of supervisor ann cottrell says the county saw on average five wildfires per year, ten acres or more. >>that's a remarkable reduction in wildfire impact and a testament to cal fire's rapid response strategy. >>soon after cal fire's presentation showcasing its latest aerial assets, a vegetation fire in rodeo ignited. it could be seen from the airport tarmac. mattioli's hawk got deployed immediately to attack >>it. they will be there to put 1000 gallons of water on that fire
5:12 pm
and support the ground crews. >>it's not just the vessel that matters though, to mattioli. >>being around highly motivated individuals that push you and push each other every day, it's just a really fun atmosphere to be around. >>it's that tight bond along with upgraded arsenal that make cal fire ready to attack nature's ferocious fires. >>and a mountain community in shock after a boat capsized on lake tahoe over the weekend. while the weather may have played a huge factor in the accident that left at least seven people dead. a group of north bay residents accusing sonoma county of illegally spying on them. they say, that has gone far beyond its boundaries. plus, one of the world's richest men, facing a growing backlash over his destination wedding. we're going to hear from activists about the message they're trying to send.
5:13 pm
>>and after a lot of sunshine this weekend, the marine layer has returned and everybody is going to be seeing a little bit of fog waking up early tomorrow morning. but does that mean cooler temperatures are on the way? i'll let you know coming up in just a bit.

5:15 pm
>>well, new developments in a boating tragedy in lake tahoe. a seventh person has now been confirmed dead after a boat capsized during a sudden storm on saturday. one person is still missing today. the el dorado county sheriff's office announced it recovered the body of that seventh victim yesterday evening. dive teams will continue to search for the last victim. the boat was carrying ten people saturday afternoon. this happened near d.l. bliss state park on the lake's southwest shore, when a sudden storm whipped up strong winds up to 40 miles an hour
5:16 pm
and huge swells. a vacationing couple shares what it was like on the lake when that storm hit. >>it was just perfectly sunny, no clouds. and then it was like we went into the castle, had the tour, we come out and it's like completely overcast out of nowhere. my friend, who's a local around here says like accidents happen. dangerous sports and activity kind of call for that kind of dangerous result. but this was exceptionally kind of crazy. >>the coast guard searched about 400mi before handing the search over to the el dorado county sheriff's office. that's more than double the square footage of lake tahoe. all across lake tahoe. boaters are assessing the damage after this weekend's wild conditions. one boat recover recovery expert tells us he had to postpone plans to recover a second vessel near hidden beach today due to the strong winds and large waves. >>it's about 30ft deep, just sitting on the bottom, so i'll have to go drop an anchor on top, dive down with all my
5:17 pm
rigging and my crane, tie it up, and then just lift it off the bottom as far as i can. that's why i need it to be nice and calm out. because if you got waves or anything that puts a lot of pressure and shock load on my crane. >>waves as high as eight feet were reported on the lake over the weekend. and here's another perspective of the unusual weather conditions in the sierra over the weekend. this is video from the uc berkeley sierra snow lab in soda springs. the lab receiving a mix of snow and grapple in the first days of summer. so let's check in with zoe. i mean, it was beautiful down here in the bay area, but snow and stormy conditions up in sierra. >>yeah, a backdoor slider storm system. it's what it's called when a low pressure system makes its way across the sierra. but fun fact for you, we've actually been really windy here in san francisco. it's actually our third windiest june so far in the past 100 years. so yeah, if you thought it's been windy, it definitely has. but the winds today are ushering in that thicker marine layer, a lot more cloud coverage that's going to continue to stream in
5:18 pm
all across the bay area, getting thicker and thicker into our overnight hours. so keep that in mind if you have any early morning or late night plans, you're likely going to be seeing some fog out there, especially if you live in those lower elevations in the valleys all across the bay. it's going to be foggy, and it's keeping our temperatures here in san francisco pretty chilly. we're only in the upper 50s right now. while the rest of the bay area has seen plenty of sunshine. really lovely weather. concord upper 80s right now. but again, everybody is going to continue to feel those cooler conditions into tomorrow as everybody sees the impact of the onshore winds that are going to strengthen and everyone sees the impact of more cloud coverage and more moisture, because again, we haven't seen a whole lot of it this past weekend. we haven't been waking up with that thick june gloom like we normally do. but again, things are changing and we are going to see this thick layer of fog filling in the golden gate first, and then down into the santa clara valley and across a lot of those, again, lower elevations across the bay. by tomorrow afternoon, though, we are going to continue to see those clouds
5:19 pm
backing off a little bit. but most of us, especially if you do live along the coast or in the direct path of the golden gate, it's likely going to be pretty foggy throughout the afternoon tomorrow, and that's going to keep those temperatures significantly cooler out there tomorrow afternoon. just something to keep our eyes on overnight tonight, though, with more of that fog, with more of that cloud coverage again, we are going to continue to see those temperatures cooling down a degree or two below average for this time of year, but nothing unseasonable, nothing that we haven't seen. mid to lower 50s. it will be chilly, but again, dress in layers, grab a jacket because by tomorrow afternoon we are going to be a lot more comfortable than what we felt today, especially across our inland areas that today you are in the upper 80s. it was a little bit too hot for you. tomorrow it's going to be a lot nicer. you'll be back into the mid to lower 80s, i promise you. that is not meant to be a 55 there. let's pull it back up and hopefully shows you the right temperature. there we go 82. that is definitely a more reasonable high temperature tomorrow afternoon across those inland areas, about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than today. mid
5:20 pm
70s down into the santa clara valley. and then mid to upper 50s along our coastal communities and even san francisco. low 60s is the high temperature, because a lot of us aren't going to be seeing all too much of that sunshine or that cloud coverage. so something to keep our eyes on tomorrow. a lot more cloud coverage means a lot cooler temperatures anywhere from five to nearly ten degrees below average for this time of year. so you are going to want to keep that jacket handy, maybe even windbreaker, as those temperatures, those wind gusts are going to be anywhere from 20 to 30 miles an hour tomorrow, breaking a little bit by the time that we step out wednesday, which will allow those temperatures to warm up just a little bit. you might even see a few sprinkles, though, waking up early tomorrow morning, that's how thick and how low hanging the cloud coverage is going to be peeling back again, really only to the coastal communities tomorrow afternoon and then quickly filling back in overnight tuesday and into early wednesday morning, where you might see a few more of those isolated little sprinkles. but overall, a drier weather pattern will arrive after tuesday and early wednesday, you'll be noticing
5:21 pm
more of that onshore flow, but that's actually going to push away a lot of the moisture. so by wednesday, thursday and then into friday, those temperatures warming up as a lot more sunshine is going to arrive and upper 80s returning to our forecast once again. so a little bit of a roller coaster when it comes to our temperatures. it was warm today will be slightly below average tomorrow. back to seasonable wednesday and thursday. back to above average friday and into saturday, and then back down to seasonable by sunday and into monday. it kind of depends on where you're located though. this is our inland areas that are normally in the upper 70s and 80s this time of year, while our coastal communities normally in the mid to lower 60s. but those of you who do live on the coast, you will notice a lot more of that cloud coverage that's going to hold on tight at least through wednesday, before a little bit more sunshine and warmer weather arrives by the end of the week, and potentially some beautiful beach weather by the weekend. back to you. >>so, zoe, basically the june gloom is it's still coming back tomorrow. i came out here too late. i'm >>like. no, i'm sorry, i didn't even realize you were joining me. i totally would have brought you in here. but yeah, june gloom returning overnight tonight and into early tomorrow morning. but
5:22 pm
it's not going to last long. i kind. >>of sunshine is coming back. >>yes, but enjoy the june gloom while you can. >>okay. >>thanks. >>well. amazon's jeff bezos is getting married in italy, while locals are not too happy to see one of the world's richest men take over their town. meet the activists who planned to protest. >>we think that one big billionaire can't rent a city for his pleasure. >>a lot of scientists at stanford helped build the world's largest digital camera. now we're getting a look at the results of all their hard work. >>elliptical galaxies.
