concern about funding, nothing was cut. but as the pentagon discusses stripping harvey milk's name off a navy ship and ongoing threats to queer rights, this year's theme is queer joy is resistance. >> they are not going to take away our joy in this city, because you can love who you love, and you can be who you are. >> at sfpd headquarters, city leaders kicked off pride month on wednesday with an event celebrating its lgbtq plus officers. >> sfpd has taken meaningful steps to become a more inclusive department. that work doesn't just benefit lgbtq plus officers, it makes the department more responsive, culturally competent, and more effective in serving every community across this city. >> chief bill scott saying sfpd will make sure everyone feels safe at pride. >> pride will be very heavily deployed like it always is. back in 2022, s.f. pride banned uniforms from the parade, but officers with the sfpd pride

alliance say they're proud to serve and proud to be part of the lgbtq community. >> being in a department that supports lgbtq members is rare, especially given the traumatic history law enforcement has had with the queer and trans communities. >> s.f. pride organizers say there will also be additional layers of security. >> sf pride spends over $600,000 in security for a layer between our community and the police. >> and organizers are hoping to double attendance at this year's parade, and they are still taking donations. if you'd like to support, you can find out how on our website ktvu.com. mike. >> crystal bailey live tonight in san francisco. crystal. thank you. now to sonoma county. healdsburg is set to host its first pride celebration on sunday. the lgbtq plus group professionals with pride is hosting the celebration, which does include remarks from the community as well as a march. later in the evening, there will be more events with drinks, food and music. this event is not

officially sanctioned by the city, but does have support from city leaders. one of the oldest gay bars in the bay area, now under new leadership, scott taylor, who owns harris's restaurant in san francisco, is purchasing the cinch saloon. the bar opened up in 1974 on polk street, which used to be the epicenter of the queer nightlife in san francisco. there were rumors this bar could close if it was unable to find a new owner. scott taylor says he is grateful to be able to preserve this culturally important bar, and you can find all of our pride coverage on the fox local app. it's a free download on your smart tv and smartphone. now to san mateo, where a massive tree has come down tonight. skyfox flew the scene just about an hour ago. this is on south railroad avenue, right between ninth and 10th avenue. the video shows several vehicles damaged underneath the tree. officials are asking people to avoid the area as crews work to clear the roadway. the u.s. transportation secretary announcing that he wants to

contractor delays, as well as electrifying the rails and an inability to get the trains in operation by 2033. >> the timelines and the budget for the california high speed rail is they can't meet them right. and so we have $4 billion that has been authorized to go to california to build this project. and we don't want to invest in boondoggles. >> the california high speed rail authority issued a statement saying in part, quote, the authority strongly disagrees with the fra's conclusions, which are misguided. while continued federal partnership is important to the project, the majority of our funding has been provided by the state. the governor's budget proposal extends at least 1 billion per year in funding for the next 20 years, providing the necessary resources to complete the project's initial operating segment. >> so we continue throwing good money after bad. should we say that we've already wasted $17 billion? so what's another 100 billion? i don't think that's the right thing to do. >> is politically motivated and needlessly vengeful. when the federal government agrees to

commit funding for local infrastructure projects, communities across the country need to be able to rely on the federal government to deliver on its promise. >> and trump won. they tried to cancel, i believe it was $1 billion, and california sued and won. they can't just willy nilly cancel it. there has to be a reason, and we don't think they have a reason and we'll fight them on it. >> the california. >> a bill in sacramento designed to allow for more housing near transit stops passed in the senate. the bill would allow taller, more population dense projects to be built within a half mile of transit stops. that includes systems including bart, caltrain and parts of the la metro. san francisco senator scott wiener authored the bill. it's now headed to the assembly. marin transit officials balanced their budget, preparing, as they say, for an unsettled future. the board approved a $56 million budget for next year. it will also put $4.5 million into a

reserve fund, which now has about six months worth of emergency operating expenses. the agency is one of many across the bay area dealing with the loss of federal covid relief funds. it also expects sales tax revenue to drop next year. union members have approved the labor contract with the santa clara valley transportation authority after a contentious strike. the four year deal raises wages of bus operators and mechanics by 14.5%. over the course of the contract. employees also receive enhanced dental benefits and a voucher for uniforms. the union went on strike in march, crippling transit service across san jose for nearly three weeks until a judge ordered the strikers back to work. vta says that it hopes to improve lingering workplace issues. >> one of which we've created is the culture and climate change committee, which will have board representation at the table with union leadership and with vta management to work on workplace issues. >> you may begin speaking when. >> the vta board of directors is expected to vote to approve this

deal as early as tomorrow. the new contract would go into effect starting monday. a lawsuit against bart is moving forward one year after a woman was killed after being pushed into an oncoming train. it happened at the powell street station in san francisco in july of last year. 74 year old corazon dondon was taking bart home after leaving her job at a hotel in union square. prosecutors say 49 year old trevor belmont shoved her into an oncoming train. police arrested him on the platform. don don's nephew and six siblings have filed a lawsuit alleging bart's faregates and overall platform design are dangerous. we've reached out to bart for comment and have not heard back. new at six the aclu has filed a lawsuit against sonoma county for allegedly violating residents right to privacy with a drone program. now, six years ago, sonoma county code enforcement section launched a warrantless drone program to track down illegal marijuana grow operations in rural areas. well, now this

this a terrorist attack. the location was not a coincidence. >> park was scheduled to appear in court today in brooklyn. five other people were injured in that attack, and the manhunt continues for a dad after his three daughters were found dead in washington state. 32 year-old travis decker is wanted for three counts of first degree murder and first degree kidnaping. the three girls were found dead not far from the truck that police say they believe their father was driving. authorities say the girls mother reported them missing friday, after decker failed to return them after a planned visit. a preliminary report suggests the girls may have died from asphyxiation. coming up at six, a bay area firefighter traveling abroad when disaster struck. later at 6:00, the skills he used as a first responder to help strangers amid the chaos. and amazon is one of the busiest companies in the world. let's see how a bay area distribution center is using artificial intelligence now to get packages to you more efficiently.

sunnyvale, executives unveiled some of the company's latest ai initiatives. the company says ai has already allowed it to improve its regional demand, forecasting on millions of popular items by 20%. that means items that might have otherwise taken two days now arrive in just one. >> what this model really excels at is taking some of that historical data, taking what we've observed over time, but then applying it to products and patterns that we might not have seen before. >> and ai is also directly helping delivery drivers not only to find the best routes, but also right down to specific parking spots in busy locations. viraj chatterjee is vice president of geospatial mapping. >> but now with generative ai. because we have the power to reason over petabytes of raw data at our disposal, we are able to precisely determine what parking location we should have for which building. >> in this image provided by amazon, you can see the new mapping technology. the ai models combine everything from satellite imagery to city zoning maps to predict where is the

best place to park. >> to make deliveries much more, you know, safer and efficient for our delivery partners so that ultimately our customers are able to get the packages where they want it accurately and efficiently. >> all of this is just another example of how ai is already integrated into our day to day lives, even if we never see it. reporting in san jose i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. >> business leaders, nonprofit leaders and activists are in san francisco for the social innovation summit. the two day conference actually just ended. it included actress jane seymour, who spoke on unlocking the power of kindness. other sessions ranged from effective philanthropy to using business as a force for nature. as fears grow over ai replacing human workers, universities are working to best prepare the next generation of computer science majors. right now, stanford, uc berkeley, csu, east bay. sf state and san jose state university all offer ai focused courses and programs. google

on non solar customers caused by existing solar subsidy programs. >> californians are facing record high electricity bills. families. renters, small businesses. everyone is feeling the pressure. we need to act and that is why i introduced ab 942 of any legislative proposal this session. no other bill would provide as much savings to millions of californians as ab 942 would. >> supporters say the net metering system shifted more than $8 billion in extra costs to non-solar customers last year, but opponents say cutting solar subsidies will lead to fewer people deciding to go solar, which means a move away from clean, renewable energy. that bill now heads to the state senate. the bay area air quality management district has approved $4 million in funding for community air protection incentives. officials say the goal is to support home and

inch of rain today. now usually in the entire month of june they see 2/100. so far this month they've seen nearly a half an inch of rain. so that's a new record for them. then monsoonal moisture. there you have it, still in the spine of the sierra nevada area, a thickening, deepening marine layer there in southern california. and upstream we go to the bay area, our marine layer. it has been enhanced by that weak trough to the south of the bay area, but it's keeping us in a tranquil seasonal weather pattern. all right, when will we see the burn off? tomorrow. not until about the lunch hour. there's your sunrise tomorrow, 548. there you have lunchtime, and the clouds hang tight to the san mateo coastline. so the temperature 60s and low 70s around the peninsula. then we jump up to the mid 70s in redwood city, east of the bay into the 80s again, it's pretty seasonal and it's quiet each and every day. mike. all the way through about monday. >> there you go. thank you
