occasions, we have hundreds of nails that were dropped in the road. >> and we've had a damaged and there graffiti done to one of the signs >> their funk says he's confronted the individual about the drug trade, wi-fi name but hasn't gotten a response. superintendent funk tells me if they find out the source of the wi-fi is someone else. they'll ask that person to take it down or change the name in dublin amanda hari kron. 4 news. >> well, 6, 0, 6, 1, of the 2 brothers arrested in connection with the deaths of them are said family of 4 is now charged with murder. so is accused of kidnapping an 8 month-old baby. her parents and an uncle at gunpoint from their trucking business earlier this month, authorities found their bodies last wednesday in an almond orchard. if convicted, the 48 year-old could spend life in prison without the possibility

tax on oil companies arguing that those oil producers are taking advantage californians. newsom wants state lawmakers to gather for a special legislative session at the capitol on december. 5th. so they can vote on his proposal. he says the windfall tax would punish oil companies for what he calls rank price gouging. >> but taking advantage of you every single one every single day. hundreds of millions of dollars a week they put in their pockets, lining their pockets at your expense. and then putting this planet. there's nothing to justify nothing. not one thing. >> well, republicans argue, though, that this windfall tax would only further lead to higher gas prices. gop lawmakers sent the governor a letter calling on him to instead suspend the gas tax immediately. the governor's proposals he's making now they make splashy headlines but they lacked detail and they make no economic sense at a time when we need more energy production. >> and we need that energy to be as affordable as possible.

increasing taxes on energy production makes no sense. the real world, every family is out there to gas in their car to go to work to the grocery store, to their kids, to school. >> every family is being hurt by the policies that are being put forth by this governor and the democratic leadership in our state. and it needs to change. >> well, state democratic leaders say they look forward to reviewing the governor's proposal while assembly republicans have launched a public petition now urging californians to tell the governor to drop his proposal. >> it's 6.36. and happening today, the u.s. supreme court hears arguments in a case challenging california's law. that's his for food should be raised humanely. state voters adopted the law in 2018 was 63% of the vote and this set new conditions for raising calves chickens and hogs, but major pork producers are the ones pushing back. they argue that states that don't have a law like this should not be

burdened with compliance in order to be able to sell their products in california. in the east bay, the months long occupation of parker elementary school is over and led to clashes like the one you see here started in august because parents of parker elementary students and their allies were upset. starting started in may. they were upset and because of the school could have been closed. the protesting oakland unified's plans to consolidate schools and that means many, including parker. we're going to have to close. the school board has since voted instead to convert parker to an adult and family program use. and that has led to the end of the occupation. >> well, the fallout continues over an la city leaders, racist remarks that were leaked over the weekend. ron herrera, president of the la county federation of labor has now resigned from his position as a result. he was among those hurt on that leaked audio la city council. president nury martinez also

has stepped down from her leadership position as well. she made that move yesterday. martinez, however, did not resign from the city council itself. the offensive remarks were made during a private meeting held last year between 3 sitting city council members and herrera. and in that leaked audio, martinez can be heard making derogatory and racist comments about another council members adopted son. >> it's 06:30am, mountain view. police need your help to find a man who groped a woman at walmart. the woman told the police that the man repeatedly groped her in walmart >> on its the walmart on showers drive that we're talking about, which is right off of el camino. real. she says he followed through the store through several aisles and then touched her inappropriately. well, she was looking for some colleen costumes. her husband actually chased after the guy, but he got away and we have some surveillance pictures here. this is the man police are looking for. anybody recognizes him asked to give the police a call.

happens after a deadly shooting that happened at an airbnb rental in oakland earlier this month are about 30 people having a birthday party. there. >> well, for your health this morning by the looks of things these days, many are acting as if the covid-19 pandemic is over, though. it's not k,ow. experts have told us it's not over. now. cases are way down in many parts of the country. but there are some variants and other trends that are rising. kron four's. dan kerman has details. >> what is this virus can do? late fall and winter. >> that's the $64,000. question at this point, there's no predicting what covid-19 will do. but there are things raising concern. first cases and hospitalizations continue to tick up in the uk and the european union. there are also concerns here in this country. if we look at the wastewater. >> levels of virus in boston, for example, the numbers are going up that pre sage is what's going to happen in terms of seeing clinical

cases. there. we're starting to see a uptick in hospitalizations in new york. that's worrying us. >> then there's the issue of new variants that doctors are keeping their eye on to dot 12.2. and the reason why people paying attention to even though it's about, you know, 1.7% of cases. now is it is very immune invasive. another is an offshoot ba 5, this option to be a 5 called bf 7 is increasing very quickly. and belgium, for example, is about 25% of cases here in the u.s. it went from like one percent of cases. so by, you know, 7% of cases, 5 to 7% of cases over a few weeks. so it's the one to watch. doctors say the best offense is a good defense. the promise of served for many people. we've seen multiple infections are high. i know multiple vaccines and pass is really to give you an extra edge right now. not a lot of

people have had the omicron specific booster, but doctors say it's a good idea. >> older people was covid don't mix well. and so anybody who 65 or over can even argue 50 and over. i think it's critically important to get this vaccine going into the late fall and winter season. i think it's a good idea for anybody. aged 12 and over. well, that's what's approved for to get it. >> dan kerman kron. 4 news. still ahead on the kron. 4 morning news video killed the radio star now streaming services appear to be poised to kill a late night talk show ends. >> video can get more on and you know what to readers. yeah, it city the raiders fall a little and monday night football will have a recap of the game.

stay pretty seasonabl% and looking dryer selves. if you want to get in the fall spirit this year is a great place to head up to this weekend. we've got near peak colors up there right now with the high sierra at peak conditions for those fall colors in the changing leaves. current temps are cool but not getting much warmer than that near the coastline today. only in the 50's and 60's. if you want the warmth head on over towards the bayshore will be perfectly in the 70's areas like foster city, right at 77 seeing carlos at 76 south bay temps anywhere from the upper 70's to the mid 80's east bay. daytime highs, mid 70's in fremont on up to hayward while pleasanton and livermore. each 87, oakland enrichment right at 70 while danville at 88 and vacaville right at 90 degrees or only spot actually getting to the low 90's today. getting a look ahead tomorrow's highs. a little cooler than today's inland. it will continue that cooling trend on into the start of next week when our inland areas will only be in the upper 70's, john, thank
