dude. night at chase center. the golden state valkyries will host caitlin clark and the indiana fever. we're live in san francisco this afternoon with a preview. [music] >> also, a new policy in san jose to address the hundreds of rvs on city streets. the city council gives the green light to cite those renting out rvs to homeless people. [music] >> from ktvu. fox two news. this is the for. >> a new policy in san jose bans the use of rvs as rental properties for unhoused people, and it takes effect at the beginning of next month. city leaders say the goal is to increase safety and prevent problems related to homelessness. welcome everyone to the four this afternoon. i'm alex savage. >> and i'm heather holmes, but some advocates for the homeless say it's another attempt to make
4:01 pm
life harder for those already having a hard time. our south bay reporter, jesse gary live now in san jose with more on this policy. jesse. >> heather and alex, good afternoon to you. and the passage of this new law is aimed at preventing what city officials are calling van loading. and that stems from what you see behind me. in some cases, people are actually buying old rvs and then renting them out as units of housing. mayor matt mehan says that's something that worsens the problems facing the unhoused. >> incentivizing people or encouraging people to pay rent to live in a vehicle on city streets works against everything we're doing to end homelessness. >> san jose city council this week passing an ordinance barring so-called van loading, the advertising and renting of rvs as a primary residence. starting july 1st, people are prohibited from parking and sleeping in rvs from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m, officials say the current law banning street sleeping was too vague and didn't address rvs specifically.
4:02 pm
>> it's unsafe and it's unfair to the broader community. we have had rvs light on fire. if someone killed in an rv fire. we have trash impacts across the city. we are not arresting or prosecuting people for being homeless. >> this council cares more about their constituents than the unhoused. >> advocates such as gail osmer fear the latest ordinance, which comes on the heels of a new law requiring the unhoused accept city services or be cited or even jailed, is another attempt toward outlawing homelessness. the city continues campsite abatements, such as this site at columbus park. >> provided somewhere else to go. i would bend to move from here, but at this point in time, it's hard to say, you know, kind of depending on home first in the city. >> advocates say rvs, no matter how imperfect, are offering shelter for those who are having a hard time getting permanent housing. >> i'd like to see more rv safe parking open now. not at the end of the year. >> second district councilwoman pam campos was the lone vote
4:03 pm
against the ordinance. in a statement, she says in part, the ordinance language the council voted on is ambiguous and overly broad, and forcing the ordinance without offering housing, safe parking or an off ramp is not a solution. and the mayor counters there will be about 1000 beds coming online to help the unhoused later this year. and he counters, this ordinance is targeted to those people who are actually renting the rvs out to the unhoused and having them park on city streets without moving them, as opposed to people who, for example, run into a tough situation and are living in their cars. we're live in san jose this afternoon. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. alex, heather, we'll head back up to you in oakland. >> okay. jesse. thank you. >> all right. now to our weather. and pg and e has shut off power to parts of the bay area because of high fire danger. the bay area of the shut off is affecting about 650 customers in alameda county,
4:04 pm
most of those south and east of livermore. around 275 customers in contra costa county, including some in clayton, were also shut off, along with about 50 customers in santa clara county. the utility says its decision was based on weather forecasts predicting significant wind gusts and dry conditions. >> you know, we're going to continue to monitor the conditions really over the next couple of days. we're hoping that by saturday, at some point, that we're going to be able to get those customers restored. >> 15 counties in northern and central california are currently under a power shutoff watch until sunday, including those rural areas of alameda, contra costa and santa clara counties. >> all right. the reason for those potential shutoffs here is the fact that we do have gusty conditions around the bay area today and obviously lower humidity levels. as we've talked with meteorologist mark tamayo about. and you can see here this
4:05 pm
is the scene from out our back door looking over the oakland estuary. i did notice it was it was windy this afternoon. mark. >> yeah some winds and it's a time of year. we do pick up winds in the bay area. now this is not the typical pattern we link up with extreme fire danger, but those dry offshore winds really really really boosting the fire danger. but still fire danger is elevated. so it's not level ten extreme alert. but still we have to keep an eye on those winds because of course, we've seen some fire starts over the past few days. take a look at the winds picking up today. you can see sfo winds gusting to 51 miles an hour. bodega bay 50, fairfield 43, oakland airport 35, and livermore 26mph. in terms of fire danger, the most of the bay area is not under a red flag. fire warning. we're talking about strong winds. we don't even have a wind advisory, but it's still a bit blustery out there. you can see winds at least over the next couple of days. friday and into saturday could be approaching 35 miles an hour and relative humidity around 15 to 25%. now we're going to see a wind shift and that will be on saturday. instead of that, that onshore
4:06 pm
breeze which we have right now, we're going to see more of a northerly wind develop. this is saturday. and as a result, this is actually fire, fire weather watch that has the potential to turn into a red flag fire warning that's in place from saturday morning through sunday morning. and winds could be gusting to 40 miles an hour. you'll notice this does include solano county, so places like vallejo, fairfield, out toward vacaville, those we had under that that fire weather watch. so this particular forecast model shows a combination of everything the temperature, the wind, the relative humidity, where you have some coverage. that's where fire danger is increasing once again. so this is your friday. notice that wind shift into your saturday. more of a northerly breeze and still fire danger remains elevated into the weekend. now we still have some patchy fog out there. you can see out toward the coast right around half moon bay, so it's not a completely dry weather pattern out there. we still have some moisture approaching portions of the bay area and the winds. right now you can see fairfield gusting to 37 miles an hour, oakland airport gusting right now to 40 miles an hour, and sfo gusting
4:07 pm
to 44 miles an hour. the temperatures you probably notice the big change temperature wise today, a major cooldown. in fact, look at livermore 22 degrees cooler compared to this time yesterday. so as you can see the numbers right now san jose 69, oakland 63, santa rosa 85 degrees and just 79 degrees in fairfield right now. so the cooling has arrived. the winds will still be a big part of our forecast over the next couple of days. we'll talk more about that with your full update in just a few minutes. >> okay, mark. thank you. well, the golden state valkyries, they have a big game tonight. as the reigning wnba rookie of the year, i'm talking about caitlin clark comes to town. >> yeah, clark and the indiana fever will be at chase center tonight for their first matchup against the valkyries. ktvu sports reporter bailey o'carroll. joining us now live. and bailey, a lot of excitement about this game tonight. >> heather and alex. yeah, that's absolutely right. i think when the schedule came out, of course, this inaugural schedule for the valkyries came out. yes, they are playing the indiana fever, but a lot of people i
4:08 pm
have heard all around san francisco, around the bay area, referred to it as the caitlin clark game. now coming into it leading up to this one, the big question was, would clark be playing in this matchup? because of course she was coming off coming off of that injury. now we know that she did play in the fevers last game. she had an incredible first game back. so she will be on the court today playing against the valkyries. i've already seen a number of caitlin clark sweatshirts walking by us where we are here right outside of chase center. now there's a giants game going on. so or that just wrapped up. so we've seen a lot of giants close. but second to that not valkyries close. rather caitlin clark sweatshirts jerseys all sorts of things like that. so you can feel the excitement in the air with this one. the valkyries coming off of a loss against the dallas wings. they had won their previous three right before that, so looking to bounce back in that win column. but it certainly will be a tough
4:09 pm
game. a physical game against caitlin clark in the indiana fever. alex and heather, back to you guys. >> yeah, she definitely has energized right fans. and i imagine it's going to be a sellout tonight bailey. >> yeah you know on my way here i was actually looking at tickets. there are still a handful of tickets left. i think the cheapest one i saw was going for about 2.50 a piece, but they said that less than 3% of tickets remained here. those are, of course, resale tickets. so the original sellout happened. now these are just people who are reselling those tickets online. if you're around in the area and you want to come out, though, there are still some tickets available. >> yeah, tickets always get a little bit more expensive whenever caitlin clark comes to town. all right. bailey o'carroll, live outside chase center. bailey. thank you. >> well, coming up next here on the four. president trump pointing toward possible negotiations with iran. >> and up next we're live with an expert to discuss all of the what's taking place here. as iran and israel are trading
4:10 pm
sara benzino... brandon coley... jablonski auto body llc... -whoo! -yeah! whoo! what'd she call harper? oh, you mean jablonski auto body llc? we actually sold the twins' naming rights. you know, like stadiums do? kids are so expensive these days. -here he comes! -...oasis breeze tan & spa... -whoo-hoo! -yes! if you need a tan, i'm your man. good doing business with you. or...we can look at some investment options -for you... -works for us. the right money moves aren't as absurd as you think.
4:12 pm
supreme leader after an iranian missile strike on a hospital in southern israel, saying that he should not continue to exist. officials say at least 240 people at that hospital were injured. israel also retaliated with fresh strikes on iran. the white house said president trump will be making a decision within two weeks about whether to join israel in its attacks on iran's nuclear program, as diplomats will be holding talks, or at least they are scheduled to hold talks in geneva. >> now, regarding the ongoing situation in iran, i know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president's decision making and whether or not the united states will be directly involved. in light of that news, i have a message directly from the president, and i quote, based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of
4:13 pm
negotiations that may or may not take place with iran in the near future, i will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks. >> okay. so again, we're hearing from president trump via the press secretary about his plans moving forward, kind of going to pump the brakes. take a take a moment to evaluate the situation before making any sort of announcement about whether the u.s. military will be joining israel in its attacks on iran in an attempt to, you know, make sure that it is not able to move forward with this nuclear program. >> yeah. so the president putting out this two week timeline here in which he says that he will be making a decision on how to proceed here. obviously, a crucial decision, as we have talked about here, on how the president will move forward here and whether or not the united states will get directly involved in this conflict with iran. we're going to get some more analysis, hopefully coming up here from our expert on the middle east. but in the meantime, we'll move
4:14 pm
along here and bring you other news this afternoon in southern california. the los angeles dodgers today said the team denied a request by immigration agents to access its property at dodger stadium. protesters have been gathering outside the stadium, many of them chanting ice out of l.a. in recent days, the team has faced some criticism from some in the community for remaining silent about the ongoing ice raids in the area, especially given the dodgers have a large latino fan base. the team said. this morning, ice agents requested access to its parking lot, and the organization denied the request. homeland security said on x that cbp border patrol vehicles were in that parking lot for a short time, and that it was unrelated to any operation, the dodgers said. tonight's game against the san diego padres will go on as scheduled. >> well after a one month suspension. suspension. the state department has now resumed processing visas for international students, but it
4:15 pm
is screening their social media accounts. foreign students hoping to study here in the u.s. are now required to unlock their social media accounts for government review and make those accounts public. those who refuse could have their application rejected. the state department says u.s. consular officers will be on the lookout for posts and messages that could be deemed hostile to the united states. >> this is so arbitrary that no one understands the guidelines and who these definitions have not been published or articulated. and so this is going to be problematic. >> according to the most recent data, there were more than 1.3 million people in the u.s. on student visas. >> the ntsb is ordering boeing to fix 737 max planes that could fill up with smoke. the safety board wants boeing to implement a quick fix. it says 737 max engines could fill the cockpit and cabin with smoke. if a
4:16 pm
safety feature is activated during a bird strike. it's caused by oil accidentally leaking during the feature's activation. the agency cites two reports of southwest airlines in 2023 experiencing issues with that safety feature. >> well, an investigation is underway into the latest explosion of a spacex rocket. during testing, the spacex starship exploded last night at the company's launch site there in texas. spacex says it experienced a major anomaly while being filled with liquid oxygen and high energy methane fuel for a test launch scheduled for later this month. the company says no one was hurt, and there were no hazards to nearby communities. over the past two years, seven spacex starship test missions have ended with explosions or breakups during flight. >> coming up this afternoon here on the for the july 4th deadline swiftly approaching for congress, which must decide whether or not to approve president trump's so-called big

4:20 pm
his warnings to iran to immediately shut down its nuclear program. >> well, it could mean that he is actually open to a diplomatic solution, or he could just be pretending he is, and we'll put out some demands that iran find unacceptable that are far worse than the for them, than the original. iran nuclear deal that trump abrogated several years ago. and then he can, of course, use saying, well, we tried negotiations didn't fail. so therefore we have reason to go ahead and bomb. so it could really go. it could go in either direction. it's hard to tell. >> as the president tries to make this really crucial decision here. what kind of options are on the table? we hear a lot of the discussion is focused on whether the president will order the u.s. military to use its bunker buster bomb to take out that key iranian nuclear site, but what are some of the other options that the president potentially might be considering here? that would be
4:21 pm
less likely to really escalate this conflict in a significant way? >> i suppose perhaps the trump administration could order us air force to fly in their refueling tankers and that kind of thing, which would enable israel to bomb more extensively. there could be providing more anti-missile. and that kind of thing. but my guess is that he really is seriously considering using these 30,000 pound bombs that are too heavy for israeli fighter jets and can only be delivered by heavy bombers in the u.s. fleet. of course, that could be a major escalation, since it would be very likely an and iranian proxies in places like iraq could then find an excuse to target american forces, or even try to close the strait of hormuz, where a good portion of the world. comes
4:22 pm
through. >> professor, what are the chances of negotiations with iran taking place? >> oh, i'm thinking negotiations will take place. the question is whether they will do anything and go. go anywhere. again, we had a nuclear agreement. i remember actually meeting with the iranian foreign minister back in 2019, and he talked about there was a whole decade of posturing, two years of intense negotiations. he met personally with secretary of state john kerry no less than 50 times, going over line by line in the agreement. and the idea that trump can come in like this is some kind of real estate deal and rewrite the thing essentially from scratch. that seems very unlikely to me. so i'm though it's good. we have a pause, at least for two weeks. i'm not terribly optimistic that we will have a negotiated settlement. >> yeah, but we do have several european countries scheduled to hold talks with iran tomorrow. we'll see how that all plays out. we appreciate your perspective as always. professor stephen zunes from the
4:23 pm
university of san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. former california governor arnold schwarzenegger has issued a call to action when it comes to climate change. and this month, he brought together environmentalists for his austrian world summit, a conference organized by the hollywood star in his home country. alex michaelson, host of our political show. the issue is was invited to speak at that event and alex joins us now live. alex, tell us, what was this experience like from your perspective? >> alex. it was one of the coolest experiences of my life and one of my favorite shows we've ever worked on. so we had an opportunity to go to vienna, austria with arnold schwarzenegger, who is of course, the biggest star in in recent history of vienna, austria, where we were at this climate conference, which brought together leaders from 60 different countries. and i was able to represent american journalists talking there. but it wasn't just that. we also had an opportunity to travel around
4:24 pm
with him. we joined arnold schwarzenegger at his childhood home, where he brought together 150 different fans for a workout inside and in front of his house. we went on a boat ride with him. we went to a cathedral with him. we talked to him about his son and his big experience on on white lotus and arnold. now on fubar on netflix. this is some images of his home and it really was an incredible trip and experience and an opportunity to kind of get to know him in a different way as he continues to be a huge, huge star. >> yeah, and he is a star who is using his star power to really put forward kind of a blunt message, really, when it comes to climate change here, he's telling advocates for climate change, essentially, they shouldn't be discouraged by any sort of policy setbacks they're experiencing. he he put it this way. he said, hey, stop whining here. how how did that message land with the attendees at this
4:25 pm
summit? >> i think it was more stop whining. >> there you go. >> support. the way that he said it, it worked. yeah. i mean, obviously that's one of his movie lines, but it hit well. but look, his point is, look, everybody in the in the climate space and a lot of the people there were discouraged because president trump calls climate change a hoax. and he says, look, most of the climate action is not done at the federal government level anyways. it's done at the state level. it's done at the local level. individuals have a lot of agency here, so stop whining and start acting. and he also thinks that the issue should be talked about in a different way. he says climate change. what's that? nobody really knows what that is. pollution. people know what that is. clean air. that's what people know about. so he he is framing it as terminating pollution, which he thinks is a more effective way to talk about this whole thing. >> yeah. make it more relatable for folks. alex, while we have you here, let's talk about some of the events we've seen unfold mainly in the southern california area over the past
4:26 pm
couple of weeks here. obviously, the ongoing anti-isis demonstrations and the unrest we've seen. and this week we saw governor newsom taking on president trump, a legal battle playing out in the courts over who controls the national guard, which, of course, was mobilized by the president to respond to some of those demonstrations and some of the violence we did see in la. why are the governor and president trump, both of them, really sort of leaning into this ongoing fight over immigration? >> yeah, i mean, the court case is literally called newsom versus trump. and we saw the governor in the bay area a few days ago when we actually had the hearing. we're still waiting to hear from the ninth circuit court of appeals in terms of what's going to happen in terms of their decision, and it could go to the supreme court. in the meantime, we have the national guard here, thousands of them on the streets of southern california, and many of them are guarding federal buildings. but perhaps more controversially, they also are going out with ice to serve as basically security
4:27 pm
for ice. as ice goes on these raids. and we have seen a change in the mission. originally, the thought was, we're just going to go after violent criminals who have been convicted of other crimes. and that's our focus now. we really are seeing people picked up who just happened to be here illegally, regardless of whether they've committed any crimes or not. and some of these national guard folks are going out to try to protect ice agents as they do that. and that's really part of the reason why there's this fight is so big and so important. and if they lost the national guard, it may be harder for them to do these sorts of raids long term. we know that stephen miller wants 3000 illegal immigrants a day, basically kicked out of the country. and in order to do that, you got to go to places like home depot instead of, you know, doing the complicated work of just targeting criminals. >> yeah, it does seem that ice has that mandate to meet those certain quotas that we have have heard about here. all right. we're obviously going to stay on top of this ongoing debate here
4:28 pm
and wait to see how this all plays out in the courts. in the meantime, we're looking forward to your your interview with arnold schwarzenegger and more about his climate summit in austria. we want to let everyone know that you can catch the full episode of. the issue is coming up this sunday morning at 6:30 a.m, right here on ktvu. alex, good to see you. >> president trump's deadline for congress to put his massive budget bill on his desk to sign is rapidly approaching. but as fox's connor hanson tells us, republican senators still divided over details of this spending package. >> the one big, beautiful bill will drive growth and supercharge the american economy. >> president trump says he wants a sprawling budget and tax bill on his desk by the 4th of july. >> if that doesn't pass, you'll get a 68% tax increase. and i would say this any senator that votes against it and that includes democrats, i think they'll be finished in politics. >> but republican senators reviewing the legislation seem
4:29 pm
far from finished. >> there's a number of things that i've proposed. we will save not only billions of dollars and raise revenue for this country. one big, beautiful bill. but we will save ongoing costs to the taxpayer. >> some worry the bill in its current form will add too much spending. >> we need to start bringing spending down, and we need to do it a lot quicker than what the house bill does. and that's really my only beef with the house bill. it's just not doing enough. >> but too many changes could create issues. when the bill goes back to the house, where it only passed by one vote. some house republicans say they have red lines they won't cross, like taking out increases to the state and local tax cap a priority for members and states like new york. a lot hinges on the bill passing. transportation secretary sean duffy toured an air traffic control tower and stressed the need for more funding for improvements. >> the big beautiful bill is the one pathway we have right now that's going to start the
4:30 pm
funding, start the process, start the building. >> democrats are still united against the bill, but say they will attempt to leave their mark in new york. connor hansen, fox news. >> up next, here on the 4:00 this afternoon, a series of celebrations today to commemorate juneteenth. they are underway right now. >> we are live with how communities are marking the holiday all across the bay area. it's coming up right after the break. >> and a bay area weather. lots of sunshine out there, especially inland, but some cooling that really kicked in. and we're still talking about those strong winds as well. wel ha the wifi is booming. booming!

4:33 pm
union members gathered today in san francisco in celebration of juneteenth. the international longshore and warehouse union, bringing together members at its headquarters this morning. they say the san francisco dockworkers have a long legacy of activism, helping to establish collective bargaining. they say workers continue to face challenges all across the country, and they urge people to organize and exercise their rights. >> juneteenth reminds us that freedom in this country has never been a gift. it has been a struggle. freedom had to be size fought for and demanded by the brave, the bold, the unheard and the determined. >> they also urged members not to be silent in the face of injustice and inequality, and to continue to fight for respect and equal opportunity in the workplace. >> and another juneteenth
4:34 pm
celebration happening in san francisco. it got under way just about a half hour ago in the mid-market entertainment zone. joining us now to talk more about it is tony collins, the co-founder of sf black wall street, a nonprofit that promotes black entrepreneurship. tanisha, good to have you on this afternoon. tell us about the celebration behind you. this is a block party along a whole block of market street showcasing black artists and musicians. what? what is this all about? >> yes. there's a whole party going on outside behind me. but today is the black wall street is partnering with onstage and mid-market arts to host a third thursday event that is a juneteenth celebration today. we have a host of artists from breakdancers to strutters to a brass band that's making its way down the street. but all of this to celebrate this historic holiday. >> what was it? difficult. difficult at all for you to get people to, to participate from, let's say, the performers to the artists? >> oh, not at all. not at all. i
4:35 pm
mean, especially in the last four years, juneteenth has really gained traction as a holiday that not only black americans can celebrate, but the whole community can celebrate around liberation and joy. that's what this holiday is centered on. so we had no issues getting folks to sign up to participate. the streets are full. >> yeah. what kind of a crowd are you expecting tonight? are you expecting since. since this. this is an event that you do normally here. this is the kickoff of the season of these block parties. but the fact that it lands on juneteenth. are you expecting bigger crowds than usual? >> i think so. i mean, it makes it extra special. san francisco hosted two huge juneteenth celebrations just this past weekend, on saturday and sunday. and so i think a lot of folks were looking forward to doing something on the actual holiday. so we've got a lot of great reception from folks who are excited to come out, enjoy the food, music and the new entertainment zone so they can actually walk outside with their drinks and celebrate the holiday. >> yeah, and i know that it was
4:36 pm
really important for you to include the artist as as a part of this. i'm wondering if their works kind of have a central theme. >> i think the central theme is to continue uplifting the visibility of black san franciscans, black creatives, black artists, especially with all the attacks on our communities right now, it's important that we, you know, continue to push back and make sure that our communities are seen, that they're heard, and that we find reasons to celebrate and use our art and our creativity as a way to send a message that no matter what division is being sown, we're not going anywhere. we're going to continue standing for our communities, and we're going to do healing through art and celebration. >> obviously, this event, you know, about teachg people the history behind the juneteenth holiday here. i imagine, too, that this is an event like this. a block party goes a long way to helping to revitalize that part of market street. you talked about this being turned into an entertainment zone. how important is it to kind of bring some new life back into that
4:37 pm
part city? >> it's incredibly important. we know that downtown, over the past few years, since the pandemic has lost a lot. and unfortunately, there's been, you know, a lot of bad rhetoric about the neighborhoods that are down here. but we see neighborhoods intact, full of people who are excited about coming outside. it's good to see this kind of revitalization. it's good for the city. it's good for our neighborhoods and for our communities, for folks who feel like we've got a bad rap, when we know when we walk down the streets in san francisco, that we actually feel a lot of love and a lot of opportunity in front of us. so we're going to keep promoting that. >> you know, juneteenth was just declared a federal holiday a couple of years ago by president, by former president biden. what do you make of this now being nationally recognized? and what do you think it does to help? really people, people understand, especially young children, about the importance of this day. >> i think it's the holiday was long overdue. first of all, i think when you think about the spirit of juneteenth, knowing that it took two and a half
4:38 pm
years for the news to reach galveston, texas, and over 250,000 folks were still enslaved long after the emancipation proclamation. we go to present day, we can still think about a lot of the rights that are being denied to us, a lot of the ways that many of us still don't feel like we're being included as full citizens. so there is still a very strong message attached to this juneteenth celebration, not just for black americans and what we feel is owed and deserving to us, but also to all americans. >> all right. well, we hope you have a fun time tonight with with the celebration right there on mid tarnish. tony collins, co-founder of sf black wall street. really great to have you on tonight. thank you so much. >> thank you. she wants to get back to the fun. you can go have. >> fun. now to the party now. thank you tanisha. thank you. >> see you. really important celebration. nice that it's happening in that part of san francisco as well. as you mentioned, alex, to really bring some some new life and some energy there. all right. back now to our bay area weather, giving you a live look at mount
4:39 pm
