people professor john paul horn , a pill grant recipient is a public servant teaching social work at cal state east bay, only $20,000 of the more than $250,000 in student loan debt he has will be forgiven is kind of a little bit of a drop in the bucket. um i think a lot of us made decisions about what we were going to study based on some other promises like public service loan forgiveness that other belief does not come through. he will be in deep financial debt. congress really does need to get involved for borrowers earning less than 125,000 or a household earning less than 260,000 of the debt will be forgiven for borrowers who were recipients of pill grants, usually lower income students. that forgiveness goes to $20,000, those with under graduate loans can kept their payments at 5. of their monthly income, significantly reducing their monthly payments. who

exactly what we were advocating for consumer action. we did not believe in the magic wand going out and taking away everyone's college debt. we didn't see a reason for that. well now you will see that most people under that scenario are going to end up paying their debt if they have a lot of income and a lot of assets. ironically the very same thing that got us into this debt mess is the very same thing that goes on to this very day. and tom. i mean, this was a campaign issue, but at the time , you know biden wasn't putting in and income cap that being said today, he announced there is $125,000 cap. you know, you're well versed in the legal world. i'm curious here. is there a potential for lawsuits moving forward here? i don't even know who would have standing. but is there a potential for it? basic rule is anybody can sue anybody but the other part that you mentioned standing. you've got to have a reason to sue that passes legal
5:03 pm
muster. for example, just because i was learning more than that, and i didn't get a discount does not necessarily in fact, very likely does not give you right to sue. so you can't sue the government for anything you would like otherwise and so we were doing is suing the government. so there are a lot of things that are court will not certify the cornwall of the court will not certified. you're out of court. tom vacar live tonight in the newsroom, tom. thank you. in response to the student loan forgiveness plan announcement, oakland congresswoman barbara lee released a statement that reads in part. this is a great news is great news for millions of students across the country with debt, especially the nearly one million pell grant recipients in california. more action is needed to provide relief to borrowers who have been disproportionately overwhelmed with student loan debt as a real result of an inequitable education system. she also said, we must continue fighting until students everywhere are debt free, and everyone has an equal opportunity at the american dream. after the president's

5:14 pm
were either manning pumps or were on standby for rescue if that became necessary, and those firefighters that you see outside also preparing to rotate in to relieve the firefighters who were inside fighting that fire when they're air runs out, so certainly a lot of moving pieces here. a lot of very technical work to make sure that this fire was put out as efficiently as possible. they tell me and also trying to make sure that that fire didn't spread to any of the neighboring buildings and certainly very fortunate that we didn't see that where the fire could have spread to a neighboring building yesterday. as this fire was burning for now we're live in san francisco. christien kafton ktvu fox two news coverage yesterday. we also so firefighters up on the rooftop, you know, cutting holes working on ventilation there. i mean, you were there yesterday, christian. would you say that the department that this was more of a victory? you hate to see the damage, but no lives were lost, and to emphasize your point the other buildings next door, jason. they kept the flames from those buildings. yeah, that's exactly right. mike and talking with the firefighters certainly don't
5:15 pm
want to see something like this. and i don't know victor would be the word they'd use. i understand exactly what you're saying there, gratified that they were able to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to any nearby buildings. and then another really important point. no loss of life here, and that's always their number one priority is making sure that there is no loss of life. those firefighters even going in and bringing out people's pets as well. you know, the woman that we talked with tabatha said that she was able to bring down one of her cats, and if you look very carefully in that photograph, i was able to kind of zoom in on it. you can see that one of the other firefighters had that cat carrier strapped over his shoulders. he was coming down that ladder, so ah, yes, qualified victory in that they were able to prevent any further spread of that fire. and again no loss of life. there you go. alright christian captain live tonight in san francisco. christian. thank you. shocking details for a north bay neighborhood, a woman living with her mother's body for more than a year and coming up tonight at 5 30 international hiker survives in 80 footfall at

5:20 pm
just wish maybe someone could have known and helped sooner. it's tragic. it's sad, but yeah , kind of frightening like that . no one would know for so long that there was no smells. no sites know anything that's surprising and scary. the sonoma county coroner's office is working to identify the body and determine cause of death. while detectives try to figure out why the death was never reported, whether any criminal negligence lies on the daughter and whether there were any fine name. henschel benefits entitled to the mom being inappropriately used. detectives believe the daughter had not left the house since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, ordering everything, including daily meals to be delivered to the house has been declared unlivable, and it's now boarded up, but there are still a lot of questions to be answered what happened like dead you know what happened to the mom? and you
5:21 pm
know what? where is the family? and you know, i mean things like that can happen. easier than we would like to think. you know, you lose touch with someone. and then you a year goes by and a month. you know you don't in time, especially during covid. time just passes so weirdly that yes, i. i question everything like now i'm going to be more more in tune certainly with my neighbors and with my family police say this is still in active investigation. they say as of yesterday, the daughter was still in the hospital being kept for more evaluation in petaluma. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. a man accused of a gruesome double homicide in washington state is being held in jail without bail and newly released court documents reveal what led up to his arrest. sean rose, a convicted felon, was arrested sunday into coma and has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. he lived in an rv near the victim's home and, according to court documents, police found

5:23 pm
neighborhood without any services. san rafael. police say the officer came in contact with the man at the northgate shopping center, where he allegedly threatened to security guard. but the officer determined the man did not have a weapon and was not a threat. it is unclear why the officer dropped off the man where he did. alrighty yesterday. we were talking about that historic flooding in texas, where they had up to almost two ft of rain in a very short amount of time caused all sorts of problems. you remember that intersection video with that same system has moved into or did move into mississippi last night and throughout the morning, hours and afternoon hours today, and this is how it looked. this is last night going through look at central mississippi and southern mississippi. they get a break and then watch this. that thing just lights up. they get nearly a foot of rain there basically lots of problems there because it's low lying land. lot of flooding. these systems are unique. we've had historic
5:24 pm
flooding all across the united states. in the last 30 days, we've had five events that are very historical. and what's on most unusual. these aren't coming from tropical disturbances. they're not dying hurricanes. they're not extra tropical store or tropical storms. um they're just events. it's just rain, humidity moisture. lining itself up in creating massive rainfall amounts. that system is now bringing up to speed here. we are currently with where that system is. it has died down significantly. a lot of the watches and warnings have died down. this thing is drained itself of water between texas and mississippi. and i'm sure you've seen the pictures from today in mississippi. it is it is a mess down there, so as they go, we go the opposite way. we're dry. we'd love to see 34 inches of rain right now or in the next few weeks, but that does not seem to be in the cards. for us. there is a low pressure in the cards for us, and it's this guy right here. that drops in this weekend, of course, always have a fire danger, but that's what i'm talking about. i mean, this low
5:25 pm
is going to be very helpful and stymieing the fire conditions as we go into the weekend, much cool, it'll be breezy, but your you got your communities, increasing your temperatures drop. you know all about that. but then and that's what you're looking for. you don't want me coming up here going. oh we got offshore winds. it's going to be you know, it's gonna be 95 to 100 degrees with humidity is in the teens. instead we get a deep in marine layer like this, right? it is pushing inland tonight. i think i can show you a live picture of the fog here. i know i can actually and there it is. it's a little deeper than it was last night that suits your tower. it's up about camera level last night. it was much lower than for that. it was much slower, but it's getting a little deeper so that cooling from that low is beginning to take place. so there it is. that's the plan. the next couple of days cooler will look into what you can expect into the weekend because i know you got plans. i'll see you back here in just a few minutes. all right, bill. we'll see you, then. thank you. summer is winding down. but families are already planning their next vacation. what you need to know before you book
5:26 pm
need to know before you book that next t what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing 27 generates hundreds of million to help solve homelessness. the choice is clear yes on prop 27. for decades, i've the choice is clear worked at the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness. so when prop 27 promised solutions to homelessness, i took a good, hard look. it's not a solution. 90% of the money
5:27 pm
goes to the out-of-state corporations who wrote it. very little is left for the homeless. don't let corporations exploit homelessness to pad their profits. vote no on 27. what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26 is a money grab that doesn't guarantee a cent for non-gaming tribes. 27 requires 15% of all state revenues go to non-gaming tribes. the choice is clear. yes, on 27.
5:28 pm
even so, travel experts are already warning about winter vacation plans. thousands of americans have been dealing with flight cancelations and delays this past week, and ticket prices could be headed higher. even with those delays boxes mills hayes joins us live from minneapolis saint paul international, with more on the story and mills even today, airlines still canceling thousands of flights here. yeah that's right today. we've already seen over 3000 flights get delayed in over 200 get it canceled altogether, which is definitely put a cramp in many people's travel plans, and despite all of it this airport headache, tripoli tells me that they're still expecting to see a record amount of people hit the roads and hit the sky. come labor day weekend now yesterday , tisa says they saw a nearly two million people go through checkpoints. that is nearly twice the average that we saw during the height of covid. in
5:29 pm
tripoli tells me that flight prices to travel for thanksgiving and christmas will likely only rise. so if you are thinking about traveling, they suggest that you buying now, if you do plan on going to see friends and family, and have you been to an airport recently, you know all about those delays, cancelations and lost baggage issues. they're making trips much more difficult than they usually are. staffing shortages have forced many airlines to cut routes. this may increase demand , but it should also lower the risk of flights getting canceled and inflation and high demand. has kept libraries is high until recently. there's still like 25% above. um, you know, like flight prices last year at the same time, but we did see a decrease from june to july of about 10% overall for flight prices. the thing to keep in mind with holidays at any time that there's a higher demand. i would absolutely expect those prices to spike so over, especially over winter holidays, certainly over thanksgiving as well. again
5:30 pm
booking early is absolutely crucial to not pay really exorbitant prices. and if you are looking to travel on the cheap, triple a tells me you're going to have to get creative and think outside the box. so if you normally go and visit friends and failing in the us for thanksgiving or christmas, but you wouldn't thinking about taking a trip overseas. now might be the time to do it this holiday season because tickets probably won't get cheaper than that. and minneapolis mills hayes ktvu. fox two news early and be a little creative. there you go. alright, mills. thank you. a woman who broke nearly every bone after falling at yosemite park is now facing a big medical bill coming up the effort to get her back home to new zealand and a judge now looking for answers into why the mar a lago search affidavit should remain sealed more on tomorrow's deadline for the justic
