the weekend closure is having on businesses, and we are less than 24 hours away from bay to breakers, making a return to san francisco. look at the last minute preparations underway before thousands of runners hit the city streets. and we are going to get to those stories in just a moment. but first, we're following breaking news. this is on yerba buena island. crews are battling a fire there. you see the video right there. it started just after 3:00. firefighters say crews are facing heavy smoke and steep terrain. now. two fire boats are also helping put water on the flames from the bay. there they go. this is new video from the firefighting efforts. it's not clear how this fire started as you can imagine, this is impacting traffic on the bay bridge for a period of time. all eastbound lanes. they were shut down in the last 30 minutes. two lanes. they reopened. now here's a live look at our traffic map. and you can see that big backup right there stretching for miles. at this point, it's all in red. and we will continue to

follow this. bring you any updates on air and online as we get them. and also breaking tonight, a surprise move by federal prosecutors. they've asked the judge to reopen the sentencing for david depape. yeah. he's the man convicted of breaking into the home of former house speaker nancy pelosi and attacking her husband. yesterday, depape was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for that attack. now prosecutors say depape did not have an opportunity to speak on his behalf in court. so shortly after the hearing, they asked a judge to reopen the sentencing. although depape was not required to speak, law requires he be given the opportunity to do so. the judge acknowledged she did not ask to pap whether he wanted to speak, and has scheduled a new sentencing for may 28th to perhaps still faces separate state charges. jury selection for that trial begins next week. well, more headaches for drivers in the east bay this weekend. part of southbound 680 is closed once again. yeah. once again, this is part of an ongoing project so crews can repave a massive stretch of road. nbc bay area's christie smith spoke with

drivers and caltrans. she joins us live near the freeway. how's it looking, christie? well, jerry, caltrans says that when the lanes reopen, drivers will experience a smooth ride. and the drivers we spoke with today say they actually agree that the lanes could use some work, but they're having to make some short term adjustments. we just try to avoid, you know, if there's closures. many drivers in the east bay are trying to steer clear of roadwork on southbound 680 this weekend. as you are just stuck in the traffic and nobody wants to spend the weekend sitting in the traffic. caltrans has closed a stretch of three southbound lanes as part of its ongoing repavement work. this is happening on southbound 680 from al costa boulevard in san ramon to the five 8680 interchange in pleasanton. a different stretch of road than crews worked on during the previous closures. the purpose of the partial closure is to remove deteriorated pavement and

replace it so when we reopen at 4 a.m. on monday, there will be a smooth ride for motorists. caltrans is asking drivers to avoid the area, which tends to get congested. doing this weekend closure. we are shrinking a full 43 nights of nighttime closures into one weekend, and also it is safer. one northbound lane is impacted, two at mirchi cafe in dublin. they also say today they're not seeing the usual flow of customers. it's almost 12:00 and we have a brunch every weekend and there's nobody here, so that kind of tells the story. at the same time, they know their freeway needs to be repaired. i see the quandary. it does need the work. my car's tires have. i've had to change them twice in a year, back out on the roads. the message is clear. the sooner it gets done, better it is. we are all looking forward to it now. another closure affecting

collecting trash. it's part of an event spearheaded by two organizations, valley water and the creek connections action group. organizers say the priority is to keep nature and animals safe from pollution and trash. it's certainly very impactful when you can go out and see an area that's really littered and then put in a couple hours of hard work and see it clean, and that's really rewarding for the community. yes it is. thank you. event coordinator say volunteers, they actually pick up thousands of pounds of trash every year. and by the way, if you missed out, there's a coastal cleanup day happening in september. not your typical type of outdoor rodeo in the east bay. you're watching the annual pga west coast lineman's rodeo. this is in livermore. that guy is good. utilities shared this video with us. more than 100 electrical workers from across the state came out to show off their skills at this family friendly competition. imagine doing this for real. activities included pole climbing and simulations where they rescued injured workers atop a utility pole.

organizers say the event showed the community how linemen and women can safely work to keep our electrical system working when repairs are needed or outages occur. well done. all right. the state just celebrated hmong american day on tuesday, the first of its kind resolution recognizing the day for the california. but the festivities they continue. so this was at grant union high school in north sacramento. today, these students are performing the traditional kutia or hmong song poetry. the event honored hmong american day along with the graduates and students who are dedicated to upholding the hmong language, culture and history. and there i am humbled to be the keynote speaker. i got to hear from the youth too, and they were just fantastic. really inspiring. and an added bonus, i got to see my mom for a belated mother's day. she also came as well. fantastic event for all of that and you look fantastic coming fresh from that event. quite a commute, a lot of traffic in the east bay. and i

was saying to terry earlier, rob, it was very warm. it was, you know, the marine air is spilling into walnut creek, but it kind of stops as it gets into solano county and out towards sacramento. but that ocean air conditioning will kick into overdrive tomorrow. we'll have to watch wind gust speeds, i think out near the coast as we move forward into sunday afternoon. right now, not too bad. san jose 72 degrees. pretty close to where we were 24 hours ago. but here's where things are changing. look at walnut creek, just 66 degrees. average highs up at 78. so trending cooler. and the wind is the big factor out of the southwest at 17. that marine air spilling now into contra costa county. look at the low clouds over oakland 63 currently and a chilly 57 degrees in san francisco for anyone out of town trying to get ready for bay to breakers, consider this getting acclimated to the weather. the winds are picking up 57 degrees. some drizzle likely as we head towards tomorrow morning and now starting to see the cooling into fairfield and the wind speeds have really picked up. you see 50s and 60s around the inner bay and the wind up at 20mph there

in napa, 24 in fairfield. so you got that strong wind coupled with the coolant to the ocean air conditioning that would be the low clouds. things are trending cooler right now. now we do have some active weather. if you have sierra travel plans over the next couple of hours, we're going to head off to the east. we have plans around yosemite tomorrow. most of the thunderstorms in the weekend forecast are associated with today, as we take a look at the future cast after sunset, those showers start to ramp down. a little bit of activity there in the sacramento valley late evening, and then as we move forward to tomorrow morning, watch how those high clouds pass by that should allow for a little bit of coastal clearing for areas north of san francisco during the day tomorrow. so the morning begins with more of those low clouds, but then we should see those west northwest winds get a little more sunshine on the coast. but for inland areas that onshore wind is going to keep temperatures fairly cool. so we start off the day in the 50s around the bay area. some spotty drizzle around the south coast and around san jose. by noon numbers mostly in the 60s and low 70s. and then the

wind picks up, and i really think you're going to notice it around san francisco, heading up the marin coastline towards bodega bay. notice our inland temperatures in the 70s. now more on those wind speeds hour by hour. watch bodega bay as we get into sunday afternoon. right there, 36mph. you see the red on the coast there. wind gusts 30 to 40mph. some of that gets down towards the peninsula and san francisco later tomorrow afternoon into the evening. and if winds that strong onshore, you can see why the weekend will finish. on a somewhat cool note. now, if you like 80s inland monday and tuesday a little less of the sea breeze. look at concord now back into the mid 80s upper 80s out towards fairfield. then we trend a little bit cooler on wednesday as we start to watch the memorial day weekend forecast. right now, looks like it's going to trend a little bit cooler weather systems passing by to the north as we head through the middle part of the week, and then one more system here on approach as we head towards

sunday. so bottom line, more clouds, more cooling next weekend. stay tuned. at 6:00 we'll take a closer look to see if that might involve any shower chances late next holiday weekend. but where this weekend is concerned, we're watching the wind. san francisco trending a little gusty as we head towards the evening and valley locations. we'll see temperatures rebound again as we approach the middle part of the week, and trending cooler as we get towards next weekend. overall, pretty nice, but a little blustery for our friends to bay to breakers tomorrow. looks a little chilly to start with the wind picking up well, they'll be covered in costume right? hopefully. hopefully they'll be covered. yeah. all right, all right rob, thanks. still ahead, a worldwide travel warning ahead of the summer travel season. the events and people identified as potential targets for terrorism. moving the bay area forward, it's about helping people. se trata de ayudar a la gente. digging deeper to expose the truth. it's about challenging power and finding solutions because

francisco, especially since our city is reopening our doors to tourists, that we keep our queer tourists, welcome and safe in the city. s.f. pride organizers declined to comment on the new warning, however, following the fbi and department of homeland security's alert this week, sfpd says it will be working with local, state and federal partners to ensure a safe event. new at five a war veteran was honored today in the north bay. harold bray was born in benicia. he's now 96 years of age. today, the city unveiled a statue in his honor called the harold bray monument. there it is. bray is the last remaining survivor who was on board the uss indianapolis when it went down back in 1930. the ship was struck by two japanese torpedoes, killing nearly 900 sailors. about 300 survived. bray was one of them. members of the community say the statue symbolizes his bravery. this is here permanent for years and

you updates on air and online as we get them. also tonight, some people who are legally blind say rideshare drivers are seeing their dogs and canceling their rides. but not just any dogs. these are service dogs. yeah, those dogs are critical to their safety. they say what uber and lyft are doing is humiliating and illegal. investigative reporter candice wynn explains. reporter uber and lyft insist their policies prohibit this kind of discrimination, but we spoke to riders who say those policies aren't effective and they're getting stranded. annalisa de leonardo navigates the world a little differently. we love thrifting, going to used bookstores through the eyes of cousteau. he means the world. a trained guide dog, the san jose special ed teacher says the four year old labrador retriever gets them from one place to another safely. i am considered legally blind. he is literally my eyes.

he is without him. several times i would have been a pancake. because of that condition. de leonardo can't see overhead obstacles or curbs on the ground. i also cannot see if cars are about to hit me to get to and from work. this teacher takes a rideshare every day with cousteau. that is, if they can find a driver who will accept him. it's anxiety provoking because it's not always a great experience. when they deny me. de leonardo's rideshare apps show denial after denial. i don't think a dog, he's a service dog, that's a min. thank you. when confronting the drivers excuse after excuse, i don't want to mess up my car. it's just. why aren't you taking me? i don't want to mess up my car. it's a service, though. it's a lyft. you have to. it happens so often. de leonardo now records the interactions. a dog is not allowed in my car. it's a service dog. no, i

understand, but, you know, i already mentioned in my car, refusing to accommodate service dogs is a violation of the americans with disabilities act, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. according to both lyft and uber, allergies, religious objections and a fear of dogs are not valid reasons for their drivers to refuse. a rider with a service animal on a human level, what does it feel like? like i'm less than i'm not wanted in society. de leonardo is not alone. linda mcleod from willow glen has been denied as well. as i was reaching for the handle for the door, he got out and said, oh no, no, no, no pets, no dogs. he mentioned that, uber has this this program called uber pet. in 2021, uber introduced uber pet, an option that allows riders to bring along furry friends for an extra $5. but mcleod says the program has made the problem

worse for blind people, service animals, she says, are not pets. drivers think it's an option, an he's the same as a wheelchair. mcleod says it's illegal to make blind people pay more money to ride with their service animals, so that means it's not being provided to me at the same level as the service for other people who don't have a disability. the investigative unit reached out to uber and lyft with these concerns. uber said discrimination on our platform is unacceptable and it takes appropriate action, which can include deactivation of a driver's account. lyft told us it requires all drivers to accommodate passengers traveling with service animals and it asked riders to report issues immediately and then i usually get a $5 gift card. and so sometimes i've just stopped reporting. seven years ago, both lyft and uber settled lawsuits brought by the national federation of the blind. as a result, uber said it reminds drivers of their contractual and

legal obligations to transport riders with service animals. but de leonardo says these actions are still clearly not enough against lyft's policy to refuse him. lyft. you can't say no because he's a helper dog. okay, i'm going to report to you. i think they're not making it a big enough issue. i think they're they're trying to be nice to their drivers and give them a second chance. i'm the same as you, and i deserve the same rights. and i just want to get to work with the investigative unit. candice nguyen, nbc, bay area news. now, if you have a story for our investigative unit, call this number 888996 tips or visit our website nbcbayarea.com. slash investigations. a vending machine in san mateo county is now carrying a drug that could save a life. you probably heard of narcan. that's a drug that can reverse the impacts of

president biden faces another major political test when he delivers a commencement speech at morehouse college. his address comes on the heels of nationwide protests against the war in gaza. we're seeing students energized are showing up in droves to voice their discontent with the administration's response. nbc's brie jackson spoke with young voters from three different schools about issues including the israel-hamas war and how it could impact voter turnout. in november. from clashes on college campuses to students walking out on commencement speakers, we've seen young people voice their frustrations nationwide. less than a mile from the white house, george washington university became a focal point for those speaking out against the war in gaza. i don't believe i'm interested in being complicit in genocide anymore. others say protest, even peaceful ones, are not the solution. i don't believe that's a productive activity in my

opinion. i think there are better ways to go about, change across. the country. college age voters are demanding change. much of the focus is on foreign policy and their displeasure with president biden's support for israel. that's a sentiment we also heard at morgan state university, a historically black college in baltimore, maryland. they're actively funding something that's taking away people's lives. so i me personally, i just can't get behind it. safety is also top of mind, ranging from fears about gun violence. i've been doing school shooter drills since the second grade, two political threats i don't think trump is safe for democracy. election interest typically lags among younger voters. a recent nbc news poll found that this year, interest has plummeted to a historically low level, with just 36% of people 18 to 34

rating themselves as highly interested in the presidential election. that's down from 56% in 2020. students at george mason university in virginia have mixed feelings about voter enthusiasm. if things are the way they are currently with the current administration, i wouldn't be shocked if a lot of students just don't care or don't vote. i think as the election gets closer, students will be more engaged to get their voices heard. younger people believe they have the collective power to make a difference in the november election. at the end of the day, we just need to understand who we're putting in office and what policies we're voting into. young voters are what we need right now to see the change in the country that we want. many eager to turn conversations and protest about policy into action in washington, brie jackson nbc news. one exciting day after a controversial week at sonoma state university, several

internet, there was no video conferencing. so you you just really didn't get to meet other game makers today there are thousands of artists and animators, writers and musicians . but back in the 80s, it was different. back when i started the industry and when game developer conference started, everybody had to be a programmer for the most part, and on consoles running at one megahertz with just a few k of memory, those programmers made magic. the machine could never do what i wanted it to do, and it was always trying to figure out a way to cheat, figure out something that you could do that would make it look like it was doing something it really wasn't doing. from that digital sorcery came classics like pac-man, centipede, and super mario bros. but also countless other games, games you might not be able to find anywhere. we found that many games have been lost from even 15 years ago. it's why a conference about the game industry's future is now also focused on preserving its past. you know, preserving these games are important because it's an art form. meet wade rosen, the 36 year old ceo of a company. you might have heard of atari. i always joke we're a 50 year old startup. when he took over in 2021, he made a bold decision to

times for the morning along the coast and clearing skies again inland. then the wind will be picking up this time tomorrow, especially in san francisco in the north bay coastline. we'll be watching that closely later on into next week. we begin to see those temperatures rebound. bay to breakers. tomorrow morning. we got patchy low clouds will be staying in the 50s through the morning, temperatures climbing to the low 60s later on near san francisco. and there's a view of the low clouds, which for a time will start to disappear north of san francisco, up here on the coast and is west northwest, winds pick up. we should get some coastal clearing, but you couple that off the wind speeds. it's not really going to warm up in your sunday forecast. we start the day off mostly in the 50s around lunchtime. numbers in the 60s to low 70s and then wind speeds from about 15 to 35mph near san francisco, up here to the north bay coastline, you can see highs tomorrow, mainly in the 70s. now watch these wind speeds out around bodega bay, down towards san francisco. wind speeds from about 30 to 40 mile

per hour gusts at times. that's where the strongest wind speeds will be, a little less around san jose. but during the afternoon into the evening, plan on those winds picking up and then a little less wind as we head into monday. temperatures back into the 80s inland. warmest day of the week right now. looks to be there on tuesday. chance of mid to upper 80s inland through the interior east bay valleys and then trending a little bit cooler as we get towards wednesday. a reminder of this time of year. not a lot of rain per day on average. that said, if you've lived around here long enough. memorial day weekend sometimes bring some drizzle or some light showers. the extended forecast right now as we head towards next sunday bring some cooler changes and maybe a little bit of mist or drizzle showing up again next weekend. so the pattern right now of high pressure too far to the west and eventually low pressure approaching the coast as we head into saturday and sunday, you start to see it right there. stay tuned. we're expecting some cooler temperatures, but we might see a chance of a few showers as we head towards next weekend. so this weekend ends with some windy conditions. you see it there in the 7-day
