win her freedom. yesterday, she lost her latest attempt to overturn her felony fraud conviction and prison sentence. a federal appeals court denied holmes request for a rehearing, stating earlier rulings that upheld her 2022 conviction were valid. that decision leaves the supreme court as her last chance for a successful appeal. holmes is serving an 11 year sentence at a texas prison for defrauding investors with false claims about theranos technology. >> east bay regional park district has issued an official rattlesnake advisory for the mother's day weekend. district is reminding the visitors the temperatures have been warming up in the bay area in recent weeks, and the warm spring weather is now drawing rattlesnakes out of hibernation onto local hiking trails and such. and the park district has some important safety tips for anyone planning a hike at an east bay park over the weekend. >> we like to remind folks to be safe and vigilant with their eyes on the trail when they're

out in the parks, and make sure you listen as much as possible for that rattle. a lot of times, rattlesnakes will give you a little warning that they're there. >> this weekend, rattlesnake warning is going out to runners as well as hikers. we spoke to a professional state wrangler who has some tips for those planning to lace up their sneakers for a jog on a dusty trail. >> runners need to be especially pay attention that they don't step on a snake. and if they were to spot a snake while in motion running, it would be a good idea to sidestep it or run around the opposite side of its head. >> good idea. wildlife experts stress rattlesnake bites are rare at east bay parks, but they say it's always best to stay on the trail and stay alert all the time. more invasive mosquitoes have been found in antioch. this is a picture of a type of mosquito species they're looking for. vector control says the bug is capable of spreading diseases

like yellow fever. the mosquito was recently found at a home in antioch, in the same area where the district found invasive mosquitoes late last year. officials are now asking antioch residents to be extra vigilant as well, and remove any standing water on their property. >> a march and rally is scheduled in downtown san jose on monday to mark the third annual day without child care. the san jose demonstration is part of a nationwide event to demand federal and state agencies ensure that every parent has access to affordable child care. the protesters also demanding higher pay for child care providers. organizers say the need for affordable child care is especially urgent this year, with the trump administration taking steps to dismantle head start and other preschool and child care programs. well, tomorrow is mother's day in the united states, as we know. but for the people of mexico, el salvador and guatemala, they celebrate that holiday today, mother's day in those latin american countries is always on may 10th.

no matter which day of the week it falls on, it is known as dia de las madres. may 10th was chosen to honor the virgin mary, a figure of great importance in mexican culture. a popular candy store in the south bay is closing this weekend. see's candies, near el camino real and knickerbocker drive in sunnyvale, is closing permanently after tomorrow. workers tell the mercury news the location is shutting down due, to, quote, business related reasons. this closure follows the shuttering of other see's locations along the san francisco embarcadero back in 2023. we've reached out to see's bay area based company for comment, but have not heard back. >> well, the first saturday of may is derby day. the second saturday of may is the u.s. post office's stamp out hunger food drive. it's in its 33rd year. it's the largest one day food drive in our country kicks off today, and more than 10,000 cities. easy to do. just place a bag of nonperishable food by

your mailbox today, and your letter carrier will pick it up. nearly 2 billion pounds of food have been collected in the past 30 years alone. and with more on the food drive, we welcome in. christina uppal from the u.s. post office. good morning. great to have you with us. >> good morning. good to be here. >> all right. well, i filled in a few details. tell us more about today's food drive. >> yes. so we're in our 33rd year. and this was started by the national association of letter carriers, who saw a need in their communities to really fill up those food banks. as you know, summer break is coming, and a lot of families and seniors really depend on food banks during those critical times. and most give during the winter season. so the summer season really depends on a push during the spring to make sure they're ready for those summer breaks. so that's where this food drive kind of comes in to fill that gap and deliver some nourishment for the community.

>> very good. and this all started by letter carriers, is that right? >> yes. the national association of letter carriers brought this on over three decades ago. as you know, our carriers are the eyes of the community. so they can see, you know, how our families are doing. and they just pull together this need. and that's what brought on this drive. and yeah, nearly 2 billion pounds of food have resulted in this, you know, drive over the course of its years. and really, now more than ever, we just really look for contribution from our communities to support this drive. our carriers really support our local food banks in this way. and yeah, you want to make your mom proud this weekend. this is one thing you can do. very easy to fill the need there. >> yeah. go into the cupboards. you always got a can of beans or something. ravioli, whatever the

case may be, and put it in a bag. are you finding that most people are are pretty generous? >> yeah, absolutely. and again, you know, just whatever you can give, make sure it's nonperishable canned goods, boxed goods, things with nice nutrition. this is for families and seniors and those that really need it. so you want to make sure you can contribute what you can. you just fill your bag with those goods, check expiration dates. and if you're not able to bring it into your mailbox in time, if you've already left this morning, you can also stop by your local post office and see if they can collect it for you. everything goes to the food bank at the end of the day, and whatever you can give will happily receive it. >> yeah, and it's so important. i know the alameda county food bank, i mean, 1 in 5 families in this county, they need food assistance. so really, christina, even one can is helping, right?

>> absolutely. whatever you can give it, you know, it's really going to stretch and contribute to those, those numbers that we need to see and make sure that our community's well nourished for the summer. >> all right. well, they're yellow bags, i know. and they they brought them by earlier in the week. we i put a few a few cans in there this morning and i hope a lot of folks do. christina, you pal from u.s. postal service. all the best on your food drive. i hope a lot of people help you out. >> absolutely. thank you. >> well, it's a multi-sensory experience filled with bubbles, balloons, and a little bit of magic. we'll take you inside the whimsical world that just popped up in an in oakland at a historic building that had been empty for decades. >> i want to see that. and pope leo the 14th today laid out his vision for his tenure as the pontiff. we're going to tell you his plans and hear from a priest and an instructor at usf about the significance of the first ever u.s. born pope coming up. >> and a beautiful view here

over the oakland estuary towards the san francisco. another mild to warm one expected across the bay area with the cool down as we get into the weekend and the week ahead. i'll

81. pope leo the 14th. now getting ready for his next major public appearance as the new leader of the catholic church, you are looking at live pictures of the vatican. the new pope will appear here tomorrow morning to deliver his first sunday blessing from the balcony of saint peter's basilica. huge crowd is expected to gather at the vatican to witness this longtime catholic tradition. and tomorrow's appearance at the vatican follows pope leo's first

mass yesterday as the leader of the church. now, a short time ago, he laid out his vision for the papacy. he identified artificial intelligence as one of the most critical matters facing humanity. he also talked about identifying with pope francis, carrying out some of his reforms. yesterday's mass took place just a day after the cardinals elected him as the first american born pope in 2000. year history of the church. many cardinals were surprised when the pope spoke briefly in english. >> through the ministry of peter. you have called me to carry that cross and to be blessed with that mission. and i know i can rely on each and every one of you to walk with me. as we continue as a church. >> the 69 year old pope was born in chicago, graduated out of villanova university near philadelphia. he spent many years as a catholic missionary

in peru, peru before becoming a cardinal. just a few years ago. >> religious scholars are wondering whether this new pope will be a reformer like his friend and predecessor, pope francis, or a more moderate or centrist pontiff. this morning we are joined by father donal godfrey at irish jesuit priest, chaplain and instructor at university of san francisco. father, always good to speak with you again. >> good morning. ali. nice to be here. >> pope leo the 14th has been pope for just about 48 hours. very short amount of time. but are there some things he's done already that can give us clues about how he will lead the church? >> well, he's spoken about how he's going to lead the church in his first sermon, and he's very much wants to follow in the line of pope francis as a in continue the reform and the renewal and the synodality, as francis talked about. but he'll do it his own way. he's a different personality. it's i'm still emotional. i just there's he's known as bob to his family and his friends in chicago and in

florida, and they're in shock. and there's another bob, bob mcelroy, who's from san francisco, who was one of the cardinal electors. he said, i never believed there would be an american pope in my lifetime, and i'm still a bit in that space. it's a it's a shock to hear a pope speak in fluent english. of course, he is from chicago, but he's also from peru. i mean, he the peruvians are celebrating the first peruvian pope. and that's a wonderful thing, is that he he he crosses all the boundaries that are created in the world today. he he's definitely a man who will continue in the vision of pope francis. >> i was going to ask you about the his unique background and nationality. there's a lot of discussion about how he was born in chicago. he's the first american born pope. something most vatican observers did not expect. he was kind of a surprise candidate to become the next pontiff. but he also has peruvian citizenship, as you mentioned, and spent decades of his life in latin america. what

kind of influence do you think his nationality and his background had on him being elected, and will have on him as pontiff? >> well, i think his global experience. he's lived in rome, he's lived in peru, he's lived here in the united states. so he has a global perspective. and he was head of the augustinian order, the prior general, as they call him, and he that gave him an experience where he had to visit all the augustinians all around the world. and he, including san francisco. i know for a fact that he's visited san francisco at least once, stayed less than a block away from the university of san francisco. so he knows the streets of san francisco, and he he listened. he's a good listener, but he's not scared to make decisions either. and you mentioned ai, which is something that he wants the church to look at and with a moral perspective. but he's also climate change and he's very, very serious about that, and also about all the many of the issues that are of concern to pope francis, especially those

who are marginalized and on the edge. >> what does it mean to have an augustinian pope? what's the philosophy behind the augustinian? >> well, it's a it's a particular. the last pope was a jesuit, just as i'm a jesuit and the university of san francisco a jesuit. there are different ways of being catholic. people think it's a different way, a different kind of spirituality. it but it's another it's a religious order, like it's not monastic, but they're friars and they live in community and they, they pray together. and so he's lived in community, which means that, you know, if you live in community, you get to know people very well, and you can't really become a prima donna very easily because you have a community to keep you in check and your ego in check. and he's had that experience as an augustinian with with people who, you know, they'll tell you what they think and they'll let you know. and that's a good thing because it's like a family in many ways. >> yeah. pope francis was often referred to as a man of the people. do you think pope leo will strike a similar tone?

>> i think he's more. i'm only learning about him just like you. but i think he's more cautious. he's a little more cautious than francis. he had a text when he was speaking in the balcony there. he. i think he'll probably prepare what he says a little more carefully. francis often spoke off the cuff, which was great for journalists because they often got a headline. i think he'll be a little more careful. he'll probably be a little less spontaneous, but we'll see. we have to give him the chance to be himself. and i look, i'm very excited about him. i'm quite emotional. i, i think he's i will find out, but i think he's a very wise choice and very extraordinary choice that came so quickly in the conclave. it happened within 24 hours that he was elected, which is extraordinary. i mean, and stunning, actually. yeah. >> well, we will certainly enjoy speaking with you many times in the future as his as pope leo begins his leadership of the catholic church. father donal guthrie, university of san

francisco, thank you always for speaking with us. we really appreciate your insight. >> thank you ellie. thank you. >> 848 is the time. here's rosemary with a look at the weather in those sun, the sunshine and blue skies behind you in those pictures. it's nice to see it's going to be another gorgeous one. if you enjoyed yesterday, we have just a. >> slight shift coming our way today. temperatures will begin to cool by anywhere from 3 to 6 degrees, so still very warm for our inland cities. not quite as hot as yesterday. how about outside our doors where you can see the golden gate bridge earlier this morning, covered in the clouds, but now blue sky from this vantage point, fog along the coastline and just a little bit of streaming over our cities this morning near the coast, including san francisco. high pressure is being nudged aside by the system. there you see, over the pacific northwest. so again, starting to see a bit of change today. mostly sunny skies away from the coast and

partly cloudy at the coast. tomorrow morning for mother's day, we'll start out with some cloud cover along the coastline. still looking at partly cloudy to mostly clear skies for the rest of us. but getting into the afternoon the breeze is going to pick up. temperatures will take a pretty dramatic tumble. i'll show you that in the extended forecast, and take a look at what is in store for monday. right now, mostly cloudy skies and some wet weather slated for monday, with unsettled weather lasting into tuesday. could even have a thunderstorm roar by as we go into monday. tuesday time frame. due to the unstable nature of the weather. temperatures right now 54 degrees in san francisco in the north bay, 51 in santa rosa. so a bit cool for santa rosa. but you started in the 40s, so you are rebounding along with the rest of us in some areas like walnut creek and fairfield already reporting upper 60s, upper 80s for the inland cities, east bay today we'll go 86 in

the north bay of santa rosa, closer to the water, 69 in san francisco, a very nice 76. coming your way, hayward. here is a look at what we can expect for mother's day sunday. temperatures will be in the 50s as we start the day, but by noontime we're beginning to see a bigger shift, mid 50s at the coast to mid 60s inland. and for the afternoon, upper 50s at the coast to low 70s inland areas that were in the low 90s yesterday, in the low 70s for tomorrow. the cooling continues on monday, with breezy to windy conditions expected and a bit of wet weather at least to start the day. upper 50s at the coast to upper 60s inland. temperatures rebound a little bit on tuesday, more so on wednesday, where our bayside and inland cities are in the 70s. back to you. >> thank you rosemary. up next, a san francisco celebration. decades in the making how one nonprofit is transforming a community, one project at a time. more on at

system. >> i rely on it because that's my only commute. i catch a bus and then i transfer and there's constantly something going on other than what happened yesterday. there's delays, there is medical emergencies, whatever things happen. but without it, we're lucky to have it. but i think we need to improve it. >> the meltdown is once again putting a spotlight on bart's financial challenges. the agency is facing a huge budget deficit. yesterday, transit advocates rallied near a gridlocked freeway off ramp in san francisco. they held signs like fund transit and bart. outage equals more traffic. now, they say the bay area is already stretched to the limit. and without funding for bart in the long term, people across the bay area, whether they ride bart or not, will feel the impact of it

southern california. 12,000 shipping containers that sailed across the ocean from china docked in los angeles and long beach yesterday. they were filled with chinese goods for amazon, home depot, ikea, ralph lauren and other big retailers. more shipping containers from china are expected to arrive at u.s. ports in the coming days. >> time now 907. the agriculture industry is starting to feel the impact of the president's tariffs. la times reports the nation's farm industry has been struggling all due to ample supplies, depressed crop prices and rising competition from other countries like brazil. crop traders and processor reports, slumping profits and concerns about the uncertainties of international trade and biofuel policies. number of countries stopped buying u.s. grain when president trump first threatened those tariffs. but the white house strongly disagrees with the report. one administration cites a survey showing farmers backed the

president's tariff threats. a purdue university poll shows 70% of respondents believe the increased use of tariffs will strengthen the american agriculture industry. 30% say the tariff will weaken or create more uncertainty. >> attorney general rob bonta and leaders from 14 other states are suing the trump administration over an executive order declaring a national energy emergency. president trump is using the order to fast track oil and gas projects across the country. the lawsuit says the order unlawfully allows federal agencies to approve new drilling projects without going through the usual process and environmental review. bonta claims the president is overstepping his powers and violating federal law, and that there is no real national energy emergency. he's asking the court to stop the administration from approving emergency permits for new projects. >> gas prices climbing here in the bay area following this week's massive fire at the valero refinery in benicia. triple a reports the average cost of a gallon of regular gas in the bay area climbed to 5.12

♪ is always just around the corner waiting for your call. we come when it's convenient for you, not when it's convenient for us. when you want junk to disappear. all you have to do is point. we make space for possibilities. now is the time. and next week,

president trump will head out on a critical overseas trip. he will visit the middle east to discuss oil trade and nuclear ambitions within the region. while opinion polls show support for some of the president's policies on immigration, some americans have concerns about how those policies are being carried out, and they are also worried about the economy. joining us to talk about president trump and the political trends and changes in his first months in office, we turn once again to san jose state political science professor and lecturer donna crane. thanks for joining us, donna. >> good morning. thanks. >> i want to start with signs of a shift in support among a key group that supported president trump in the election. we're talking about gen z voters ages 18 to 29. 47% of them voted for the president in november, up from 36% back in 2020. but now, a collection of polls are showing an average of 58% of young voters disapprove of the president's job. your college professor, you work closely with voters in this demographic. what are you seeing? >> yeah, i spend a lot of time with about 250 of these kinds of

folks every week, and they're terrific. my conversations with them in recent months have been remarkably consistent. there's a real through line here. what young people say, and i think they're right, is that they understand. they think the whole system doesn't work for them politically and economically, and it doesn't. so they wanted and they want a big shakeup. they're not particularly they're not as literate as older people about specific issues, but they know they want big change. and so they vote for big change. i have students who supported donald trump, who are now attending bernie sanders rallies, for example. they don't particularly understand whether the change needs to come from the left or the right. they just know they want change. however, now they're seeing the specific change that's happening and they know they don't want that. so i think that's why we're starting to see a pretty significant shift in that block in public opinion. >> what are the particular issues those younger voters are

souring on? >> well, young voters are much more tolerant, much more multicultural, much more diverse, much more sort of welcoming and inclusive than older, whiter voters. so i think almost all the culture war issues that donald trump is tackling, they don't like. they're also especially sensitive to this allegation. and again, again, i think they're on to something here of dysfunction in government. what they mean is that they don't feel like government works very well and especially doesn't work for them. so here's where we're seeing also a tension point with how trump is carrying out his job. he in particular the focus on doge, for example, the deportations and the tariffs, the sort of everyday three times a day, all there being sort of news and changes on all those fronts. that's not they see that as dysfunction. they see that as motion and drama, but not forward progress. >> too chaotic even for the younger, less traditional

demographic. >> that's exactly right. and at the end of the day, they understand that the price of. i mean, i don't know how many eggs they buy, but, you know, the price of bubble teas or the price of avocado toast, to use a, you know, to use a stereotype and certainly the price of gas, they're very sensitive to those prices. and none of those are changing. and some of them are even going up. and they are connecting that to this dysfunction in government. and it's not addressing what they wanted. so they're becoming, again, really disappointed and turned off by what they're seeing in government. >> i'm also thinking about a story that came about in recent weeks about a criticism from podcaster joe rogan he made on the president's immigration policies, and rogan, a big supporter of the president. but even he said, quote, we got to be careful that we don't become monsters while we're fighting monsters, offering that criticism of some of the deportation policies. is that reflective of or prescient of this sort of change in opinion about this issue?

>> for sure. i think in a broadly among young people, i have to say that question would probably fall along partizan lines. so my students who are on the more liberal progressive side, they were going to be opposed to these deportations. regardless. i think the students that fall on the more conservative trumpy side probably are not going to be as bothered by what they see as the excesses and deportation, but what they all report is that they see it all as chaos, as disorganized, and they're exasperated that so much time and effort is being spent on something like this, when they continue to tell us what they want is a government and economy that works for them, they understand it's rigged against young people. they're right on a lot of counts, and they don't see any of this. they see this as wrong priority. >> where are they on the issue of tariffs? because trade talks between the us and china are set to start this weekend. are american voters and younger voters convinced that tariffs will have the effect that the trump administration says it will bringing back american manufacturing, or are they very skeptical of that?

>> they're very skeptical of that. they're really turned off by what they see. they they call out chaos and drama. i mean, this is a this is a generation that was raised on that kind of media, right? they call it when they see it. they don't believe any of this is going to move us forward. and they have sort of a really fascinating way of talking about these, these this tariffs drama. they understand that many, many things are happening every single day on the tariffs issue. but what they say is they sort of lean back and they say, yeah, but even if some of this, you know, even if some of this gets worked out, aren't we really just back where we started. how is any of this going to going to make the economy better than it was three months ago, six months ago? and they're right. this is largely a drama of president trump's own making. none of this seems to be moving us forward. and economists mostly confirm that. >> yeah, an 80% tariff on chinese goods is still almost 100% of the cost of something compared to what it was before tariffs were introduced. so i

see what you're saying there. donna crane, political science professor at san jose state university. sorry, we have to leave the conversation there. it is always interesting. looking forward to having you on again in the future. >> thank you. >> all right. time now is 920. rosemary oroczo keeping track of the weather forecast for us today. another warm one today. >> yes. it's going to be pleasant for most. ali. it will be a bit hot for inland cities, although an improvement over yesterday. if you can't stand the heat. and better news in the future, here is a look over san francisco. we're on the back side of the city there, right along the coastline. we do have some cloud cover hugging. very close. we'll go partly cloudy for the coast today. mostly clear for the rest of us. ridge of high pressure slowly weakening by this system here. that will nudge it along more so tomorrow and into monday. let me push you through the next few days, and then we'll come back around, take a look at the temperatures. but tomorrow morning, for those that are celebrating mother's day along the coast, we've got the fog in the clouds once again, mostly

clear for the rest of us. monday looks to be a bigger change where we do have cloud cover and a scattered showers. we could even see a few inches of snow in the sierra right around 6000ft and above that coming monday into tuesday. and for us, we could start out tuesday a little unsettled, and there may even be the possibility of thunderstorms. so that's what's coming for the week ahead. this is where we stand right now. 55, in san francisco, upper 60s for our inland cities. already warm. if you think about getting out to walk the dog for inland communities better sooner than later. by noontime in the upper 70s for inland cities, upper 60s around the bay, and for the second half of the day, some of us will be baking once again, mid to upper 80 expected for those hotter spots. if you need a dog to walk, reginald is available at the san francisco spca. just an adorable chihuahua. maybe mom wants a chihuahua for mother's day and reggie is available and they are

anywhere from 3 to 6 degrees still above average. not quite as hot as yesterday. santa rosa going to 86 for the afternoon compared to 90. concord. you're looking at 88. a better look at the afternoon highs for today and the bigger changes coming our way for mother's day and the extended forecast for next week coming up. >> thank you. rosemary bart service has resumed after an hours long outage yesterday. stranded thousands of commuters during the morning rush, the disruption now sparking renewed calls from at least one state lawmaker for action and more public funding for public transit. ktvu is betty yu, live at the daly city station, with the very latest talking to weekend commuters and bart riders as well. betty. >> that's right, ali. good morning. commuters here say they are so glad that these bart trains are back online to them because for them, this really is the most convenient and affordable way to get around the bay area. still, friday's major outage across the whole system caused some serious headaches for thousands of riders. a bart

spokesperson said that the system wide shutdown was caused by a computer problem, which brought operations to a halt. service resumed after an hours long delay on friday. now, this breakdown comes at a time when bart is already facing a deep budget deficit. state senator scott wiener says the outage is a clear reminder of how critical bart is to the bay area, and he's renewing his push for more funding. >> we've known for a long time that bart muni, all of our transit systems, face significant funding challenges, and the chickens are now coming home to roost, and we're projecting massive service cuts in the next few years, unless we act with more funding from the state and with regional action to fund these systems. this is not optional. the bay area is not the bay area without transit. >> and advocates for public transit say that the outage should serve as a wake up call

for everybody. yesterday, activists rallied at a jam packed freeway off ramp in san francisco, and they held signs that read fun, transit and bart outage equals more traffic. so, like senator wiener, organizers say that without long-term funding for bart, everyone in the region, whether they use bart or not, will feel the consequences. live in daly city betty yu, ktvu fox two news. >> thank you. betty chp investigating a deadly crash in san jose that killed a young woman and her unborn child. this happened around 730 thursday night. 25 year old woman was driving southbound on highway 280 near the byrd avenue exit. chp says she lost control of her honda civic. it veered across all lanes of traffic, collided with a driver of a ford pickup truck. the impact knocked the 25 year old from her car. investigators don't believe she was wearing a seatbelt at the time.

>> safety is our paramount concern, right? so we want to make sure to get the message out and remind drivers to always drive safe. always make safety a priority while you're behind the wheel. >> the woman and her unborn baby were both pronounced dead after being taken to the hospital. two other children in her car, a 2 to 3 year old and a 5 to 6 year old. they were not injured in the crash. santa clara county medical examiner has not yet identified that mother, and a san jose mother is reacting to the very latest arrest linked to an international extortion scheme and the death of her 17 year old son, ryan. last was a straight a student, a second degree black belt. a boy scout and a proud member of the future farmers of america. he died by suicide three years ago. his mother has now learned about the arrest of four men from the ivory coast. federal prosecutors have linked them to an extortion scheme that targeted her son and

thousands of other young victims. >> hopefully deter other people from doing these scams because they kind of felt safe in their country. on the other side of the world, behind a computer that nothing could touch them. >> in 2022, the 17 year old high school senior at a san jose was lured into exchanging, compromising, compromising photos with someone he thought was a 20 year old woman. it was actually the extortionist who ordered him to pay thousands of dollars, or they would have released the photos online. and a reminder if you or someone you know is struggling, you're not alone. you can call or text the national suicide and crisis lifeline at 988. it's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. >> 937 is the time, and disgraced theranos founder elizabeth holmes must now turn to the u.s. supreme court if she wants to win her freedom.

yesterday, she lost her latest attempt to overturn her felony fraud conviction and prison sentence. a federal appeals court denied holmes request for a rehearing, stating earlier rulings that upheld her 2022 conviction were valid. that decision leaves the supreme court as her last chance for a successful appeal. holmes is serving an 11 year sentence at a texas prison for defrauding investors with false claims about theranos technology. >> east bay regional park district issued an official rattlesnake advisory for the mother's day weekend. district is reminding its visitors that temperatures have been warming up here in the bay in recent weeks, and the warm spring weather is now drawing rattlesnakes out of hibernation and onto local hiking trails. the park district has some important safety tips for anyone that might plan a hike in the east bay parks over the weekend. >> we like to remind folks to be safe and vigilant with their eyes on the trail when they're out in the parks, and make sure you listen as much as possible

for that rattle. a lot of times, rattlesnakes will give you a little warning that they're there. >> this weekend, rattlesnake warnings have been going out to runners as well as hikers alike. we did speak to a professional snake wrangler who has some tips for those planning to lace up their sneakers to go out and jog on a trail. >> runners need to be especially attention that they don't step on a snake. and if they were to spot a snake while in motion running, it would be a good idea to sidestep it or run around the opposite side of its head. >> good advice wildfire or wildlife experts stress rattlesnake bites are rare at east bay parks, but they say it's always best to stay on the trail and stay alert all the time. >> a march and rally is scheduled in downtown san jose on monday to mark the third annual day without childcare. the san jose demonstration is part of a nationwide event to demand federal and state agencies ensure every parent has

access to affordable child care. the protesters are also demanding higher pay for childcare providers. organizers say the need for affordable childcare is especially urgent this year, with the trump administration taking steps to dismantle head start and other preschool and childcare programs. tomorrow is mother's day in the united states, as we know, but for the people of mexico, el salvador and guatemala, they are celebrating that holiday today. mother's day in those latin american countries is always on may 10th, no matter which day of the week it falls on. it's known as dia de las madres in mexico. may 10th was first chosen as the date for that holiday back in 1922. it is celebrated with family gatherings, gifts and mariachi bands hired to serenade all the moms and maternal figures in a family. >> happening today, the warriors will play game three of their second round matchup against minnesota. chase center is the place to be. the series shifts back to the bay area tied up at one and one. steph curry will

not suit up for game three tonight. golden state won game one, of course, but lost curry in the second quarter with an injury. lost game two an mri revealed he's got a hamstring strain. the team says he will be reevaluated midweek, but that does mean he will also likely miss game four at home on monday night at chase. >> and as we just reminded you, tomorrow is mother's day here in the u.s. but today we are going to show you how to celebrate with a special dish an array of dishes from a local chef. >> it already smells great in here, giving you a live look over san francisco for your mother's day plans. i've got the fo cast coming
