its campuses, according to the chronicle. tamalpais union high school district is considering requiring that students who ride e-bikes to the district high schools be required to register those bikes with the schools. there may also be further restrictions to ban the modification of an e-bike motor to increase its speed. beyond that, legal maximum of some 20mph at state level. a proposed bill would allow marin county to make it illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to operate an e-bike that goes faster than 20 miles an hour, and we want your reaction. our viewers here this morning, we're asking you, should there be any restrictions for e-bikes? your options? yes. limit the age or no. let the kids be kids. let them ride the bikes, scan that qr code or go to ktvu.com/vote. welcome to the nine everybody i you know i'm i'm kind of mixed because 20mph is fairly fast and you've got a 14 year old. you've got two boys

right there. motocross guys, all their friends have e-bikes i know, and you know, as a kid i had a mini bike. but if we got over, you know, it wasn't legal to ride it on the road. >> right. so my, my boys use what i call pedal power. i've got you've got strong little legs. you could make that bike go as fast. they don't have anything motorized. right. i have seen more e-bikes. i have seen more like 11, 12, 13 year olds on e-bikes zipping around my city. >> i don't understand what the problem is. why? why do they have to regulate them so kids don't? >> because they go super fast? you want to go fast? yeah and then these. >> it's almost like driving a car to do stunts. >> i mean, you know, they're kids. oh my god. yeah. i mean i don't know i didn't see a big deal about it. >> my concern about the regulation is like who's going to regulate? like will the police officer pull over every kid on an e-bike and say, are you really 14? and how do you know practicality? >> it might just be an educational thing about teaching kids what the right and wrong thing to do. >> but when they learn the hard way, though. >> yeah, well, i mean, but that's what kids will do. i that's what i did. i learned the

hard way for a lot of things. >> can you imagine a principal with a radar gun as a kid? yeah. >> like honestly 22mph. you're over here. >> it just seems like it just seems like a lot, you know, to do that. but what do i know? >> it's a safety thing. and i think for sure, you know, over 20, 25, 30mph for a 1314 year old kid, i have seen maybe not wear a helmet. >> well, sometimes they don't even do that. but i've seen double riding. we can talk about this forever. we would like you to weigh in. we'll keep checking that poll, see if those numbers change a little bit as they tend to do during the night. all right. we'll start our newscast here overseas as the us is not commenting on reports that israel retaliated against iran overnight. when asked, the white house so far says it had nothing to do with it. ktvu james torres live in our newsroom here to break down the conflict between iran and israel, along with the latest responses from the biden administration. >> james gasia, good morning to you. well, international reports say israel carried out drone attacks in an area in iran that's home to military bases and even some nuclear program. in some comments, some israeli leaders alluded to an attack but haven't actually directly said if that's something that's happened and certainly have not taken responsibility for it either. iranian state media reports its military defended

itself against airstrikes. those strikes, according to officials, didn't do too much damage. but those officials either not or rather i should say neither. not accusing israel of conducting those attacks. in fact, the head of the international atomic energy agency, which oversees nuclear activity around the world, confirms there is no damage to any nuclear sites in iran. it's believed this is a result of an attack on israel last weekend, where iran carried out more than 300 drone strikes. israeli, israel's defense forces say that didn't do too much damage either, because it intercepted most of those missiles. the u.s. immediately condemned the attack on israel, but secretary of state antony blinken this morning would not offer any comments on this latest reported attack on iran. i'm not going to speak to that except to say that the united states has not been involved in any offensive operations, what we're focused on what the g7 is focused on. and again, it's reflected in our statement and in our conversation is our work

to de-escalate tensions on both sides. >> earlier this morning, i spoke to a political expert who suggests these so-called strikes are just to show teeth rather than actually cause any damage, and a hesitation to claim the attacks or even acknowledge them, could be a strategic move to not further escalate an already tense conflict. >> targets that were chosen both by iran, a few days ago and then by israel, were designed to show we're tough, but we're done in a way, i think, to minimize damage. and i think the same thing is going on here. they each want to send a message to the other, don't mess with me. but they also are trying to keep this from getting really bad. >> you heard secretary blinken earlier talk about the g7 countries. that's because he's speaking from the g7 summit in italy. he says countries involved have been speaking about de-escalation for all conflicts, including that in gaza and the war in ukraine. blinken did also mention more sanctions were coming to iran, specifically to its uav

programs, steel industry, as well as its ministry of defense. we know president biden is expected to speak from the white house later today. on the topic of union workers. we will wait to see if he'll have something to say on israel and iran reporting live in the newsroom. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. the fbi is on high alert for potential threats against the american jewish community. just before the start of passover on monday, fbi director christopher wray says the agency's concern that lone actors could target large gatherings, high profile events or symbolic or religious locations raise, cautioning that the recent hostilities between israel and iran could spill outside the middle east with attacks from other countries or in the united states. the fbi reports three times more anti-jewish hate crime investigations since the start of the war between israel and hamas, the us vetoed a united nations security council resolution to accept palestine as a full member of the un. the us says the veto doesn't mean the us is against a palestinian

state, but that it should be the result of direct negotiations between israel and the palestinians. palestinian leaders condemned the us veto, saying it will encourage israel to continue its war in gaza. and for the latest developments on the conflict in the middle east and the protests that have followed, we'll keep you posted on mornings on two. you can also head to ktvu.com for more details are coming out involving the incident, in which an oakland police officer shot and killed a sacramento murder suspect. >> ktvu has confirmed his identity. he is 33 year old dominique bowat. he was wanted for gunning down his girlfriend last month as police were conducting a welfare check on her. sacramento detectives tracked him down to west oakland on wednesday and asked oakland police for assistance in catching him door. >> suddenly opened. he came out with a gun, raised it and pointed it, and the shooting occurred. i think in this case, there is no question that this suspect posed an imminent threat of death or serious injury. when

the officers fired. >> authorities say this is the first deadly shooting by oakland police since november, when an internal affairs sergeant shot and killed a man pointing a handgun at him near city hall. >> san francisco's transit agency unveiled a new traffic safety improvements in the city's west portal neighborhood that's following the deaths of four family members last month. police say a 78 year old woman crashed her suv into a bus shelter right near the west portal. muni station killed a couple and their two young children. city leaders say this tragedy has made improving safety in area a top priority. >> mayor london breed and to district seven supervisor meredith melgar, who have asked the sfmta to work immediately to improve traffic safety near west portal station. >> those improvements do include banning all left turns on west portal avenue and adding barriers to protect people

sitting at that bus stop. the goal is to have the safety improvements in place by the summer. >> new this morning, president biden was endorsed by at least 15 members of the kennedy family during a campaign stop in philadelphia. kerry kennedy, a daughter of former attorney general robert f kennedy and niece of former president john f kennedy, delivered the kennedy family endorsement. she never directly mentioned her brother, robert f kennedy jr, who is running as a third party contender in the presidential race, but said she and the other kennedy family members wanted to make it crystal clear that they are supporting the biden-harris campaign. >> president biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for. that's why nearly every single grandchild of joe and rose kennedy supports joe biden. >> robert kennedy jr downplayed the endorsement, writing on social media. his family is divided in our opinions, but united in our love for each other. >> all right, it's friday and

many people are looking at what the forecast is going to be. so steve paulson is up to you. >> that's up to you. no pressure there. >> you can handle it. >> come on. well, there's no pressure because this weekend it won't rain. all right. last two weekends it did so all right gasia is happy about that. a little circulation up here. kind of cool to see. look at that fog bank. my goodness. that's early to get this big of a fog bank. but it is no doubt about it. not only here but it is well into southern california in points south. you don't see that too often. in april. temperatures yesterday upper 70s to near 80. today there upper 60s to soft soft 70s there, temperatures will stay cool today a little bounce maybe, tomorrow more so, maybe on sunday. as the way it looks here. but a little system went in down towards central california that opened the door to the fog bank and boy, it had no problem flying in there are a few 60s vacaville and brentwood. they'll still be in the mid 70s, maybe a few upper 70s, but most locations are dropping and look

at the santa rosa's minus seven napa airport, concord minus eight degrees compared to yesterday at this time. hayward minus seven. so across the board there's a pretty good little cooldown in place already. the higher clouds are gone. so if you're in inland and you don't get the fog and you have the sun, it's already nice, the big fog bank, though, equals a sunny and cooler pattern. saturday looks similar as far as temps go. sunday does look warmer. i think they'll get a few near 80 degrees. no rain yet. maybe by this time next week i'll be talking about it. there are hints towards the 2829 something might be brewing here, so i think we're getting closer, but nothing until then. so fog bank pouring in. it's probably maxed out by now, but low clouds slowly retreating. so fog or sun 5060s by the water. 60s around the bay and then 70s inland. looks nice for the weekend. cool mornings, nice days, a little warmer on sunday. you guys. >> steve, thank you so much. it's a controversial grading policy that's starting to gain steam coming up on mornings on two. the nine, the east bay school district that's moving away from lower grades and extra credit with the aim of leveling

the playing field for students. then, as more home insurance companies leave california, there's a growing call for companies to take into consideration everything that is being done to strengthen california communities against wildfires. we'll talk live with the state senator who there it is... that feeling you get when you can... du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. can you picture it? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection.

to take into account efforts that the state and homeowners have done to reduce the risk of wildfires. the measure would require insurers to consider the state's effort to remove dead trees and homeowner steps to make their homes more fire resistant when they're determining coverage, decisions and costs. this comes as many insurance companies, as we reported, have been restricting coverage and refusing to renew policies in california because of the risk of wildfires. so with us now for more insight on this. is the author of that bill is state senator josh becker of menlo park, thank you so much for joining us, senator. appreciate it. thank you. so, in your own words, senator, can you tell us why you introduced the senate bill? 1060? >> well, first of all, this is a crisis i'm hearing every day from folks who are either losing their coverage or having to pay exorbitant prices. so we have to treat it like a crisis. and my role as chair of the bay area caucus, i've decided to prioritize this issue as part of a broader wildfire strategy that

if we have a chance to talk about. >> all right, so let's talk a little bit about the proposal that you put forward here. and we just talked a little bit about it. but so you want to make sure that the state when they're clearing away brush doing whatever it is to, to mitigate wildfire danger. and for homeowners that the that the insurance companies take that into consideration when making the policy. talk a little bit about that. >> yeah. fundamentally we're saying if you do the homework you should get the credit. there's lots about this that we can't always control. climate change is making fires more intense, fire season longer. but there are things that we can do. individuals can harden their own homes, cities and regions, and the state can do forest treatment that we know has an impact. and we are doing it. since 2017, we spent $3.7 billion on forest treatment, what we call hazardous fuel reduction, and individuals are spending their own money on hardening their homes. and what we're saying to the insurance companies is you have to take this into account in your

underwriting models. >> so the bill would it, would it force them to do that? >> it would force them to again take it into account in their models. and by the way, but we're not prejudging the outcome. if they show, for whatever reason, that this doesn't lower risk, then great, we should be spending the money doing something else. but we believe it will reduce risk. nature conservancy and the global insurance firm willis towers watson. they did a study of 81,000 homes of the impact of this kind of forest treatment, and they showed a 40 to 60% decrease in risk and therefore decrease corresponding in potential insurance costs. so we believe this will have an effect. and again, it's part of this larger strategy i referred to, i chair the budget subcommittee responsible for wildfires. and what we've done is not just that 3.7 billion that i mentioned, but we've increased positions for cal fire, about 500. we also have the largest firefighter aerial fleet in the world, now, 69

helicopters and planes and outfitted to suck up water from lakes and put it on the fire. and we strategically located them. so we are, i think for the first time since i've been in the legislature, have a really comprehensive strategy. and what we're saying is we are doing the homework. insurance companies, you take it into account, your models. we believe that's going to reduce risk, and it's the right thing to do. and good business for you as well. >> so what you're saying right now is, is that the fact that we have this largest firefighting team in the world, the insurance companies, yet are still pulling out? that is not considered as far as you know, right now with these big companies that no longer want to issue policies in california. >> well, again, specifically, there's a lot of things going on and our my bill is, very complementary of some other efforts that our insurance commissioner is working on with insurance companies to let them do forward looking risk modeling, for example. so i think there's a number of pieces that we're doing, but my bill is an important part of it. and again, my bill is really focused

on this issue of when in areas that we've done this treatment where we've made this investment, where we believe we can show that risk is reduced. again, you have to take those in account in your models. and yeah, we believe they're not doing it. if they were doing it they'd be supporting this bill already. so all we're saying is you have to take this into account in your underwriting models. we believe we've reduced risk and we believe that needs to be reflected ultimately in insurance costs. >> well, in 2002, the insurance commissioner, ricardo lara, he introduced, regulations that said insurance companies must give credit to people who do home hardening. that's called home hardening credit that the insurance company is supposed to give homeowners for making those improvements. isn't this working yet? are we keeping track of how well these people are getting their credits from their insurance companies? >> we're not seeing it yet. and again, he is working on that. and he is. and there are some things in the process, specifically around the home hardening. but we're not seeing

the effects yet. in answer to your question, we're still seeing insurance companies, pull out. and again, they're also not taking into account for sure we know this broader, issue of all this investment that we're doing. i mentioned the $3.7 billion, just since 2017, in forest treatment, in this larger scale reduction, we've embraced prescribed burns, which is something, that's a we embraced new technology and then also old technology that we've got from the native americans around prescribed burns. we didn't do for a long time. we're now doing that. and so it's this really holistic, piece of this massive investment that we're doing. we're saying, take it into account. your models, and we think it'll reduce risk if you're showing again, if you show that you take it into account and it doesn't reduce risk, great. let us know. we'll spend the money doing something else. but we believe it's going to reduce risk. >> we've talked to so many people that are just really nervous about whether their insurance company will drop them or not, tell us what you foresee in the future here. i mean, is there is are things going to get

better? i know we had a report the other day. people were just really dejected when one company said they were going to not issue new policies in california anymore. give us your thoughts on that. i do think it'll be a lot better by the end of the year. >> again, with my bill, if my bill goes through with this other work that the insurance commissioner, is doing with the insurance companies. again, i'm not sure, i mean, everybody knew there was threats to leave. i'm not sure everyone believed that that that folks would leave. but now everyone recognizes this is a crisis. it's all hands on deck, our insurance chair, susan rubio, is on top of this as well. so i think with a number of measures that are happening along with my bill, i do think by the end of the year, things are going to get better. yeah just harder to come by or just so expensive for so many people, senator josh becker on sb 1060, thank you so much for your insight on this bill, we'll see where things go from here. appreciate your time. >> okay. thank you. >> all right. coming up on mornings on 2 to 9, a concerning report shedding light on the

prevalence of pesticides in produce nationwide. which fruits and vegetables have the highest risk, then pandas are coming to the san francisco zoo. but it's going to take millions of dollars to do it. how? t

terminated frozen oysters. so far, there are 11 confirmed cases of the virus. it was found between march 31st and april 1st, and people who ate the oysters. county officials say

they're still trying to learn more about these imported frozen oysters. the sodbury comes just four months after roy oysters imported from outside the country were linked to 41 confirmed norovirus cases in san diego county, a new report says. >> about 20% of the produce in the united states contains unhealthy levels of pesticides. an investigation by consumer reports looked at fresh, frozen, canned and dried versions of about 60 common fruits and vegetables. the study found imported green beans, celery and strawberries were among foods with a very high risk of pesticide contamination. blueberries bell peppers and potatoes grown in the us had a high risk as well. >> farmers are struggling to battle inflation and some owners say their farms may not survive. inflation is raising the price for feed, for fertilizer and even land, and last year the price of an acre of farmland went up 280 bucks. this makes it difficult for farmers to expand, and owners who have passed down farms from generation on now fear what's ahead. >> the input costs are ridiculous compared to then fuel costs are higher machinery

costs, and when the price of grain goes up, so does everything else. i might be the generation that loses it. >> not just not just my fault, but just the world around me might change that much that i can't hold on to it no more. >> farm bureau officials say the u.s. has seen a 7% drop in the number of family farms, and a lot of change already this week at the federal women's prison in dublin. >> and there's still more to come next year on the nine. why some of the women serving time there are no longer behind bars. and what's happening to those still in custody, just ahead of the prison's prison's closure? then what's in a name? well, apparently a lot of controversy, even a lawsuit. we'll talk live with the marketing professor about oakland's effort to fold san francisco bay into the name of its airport, whether anyone owns that phrase, and whether trav ers would eve gist

read my eyes. they tell my story. and the story of voluminous original, creamy formula

for 5x the volume. voluminous original mascara by l'oréal. my eyes are saying you're worth it. 100% of dark spots are intensified by the sun. bright reveal daily sunscreen. no whitecast. wear spf every single day, rain or shine. anti-dark spot sunscreen by l'oréal paris. but then a ton of blue. it's beautiful, but it's cold. this is a jacket sort of day. another school district here in the bay area is making a shift toward what it calls equity grading. next year, dublin unified will implement a new grading policy that includes getting rid of extra credit, limiting teachers from rewarding zeros, and minimizing the impact of homework on a student's overall grade. this will affect junior high and high school students,

district says the goal is to make it easier for lower performing students to bounce back from failing grades. i lived in the strict a, b, c, d, f you know life. yeah, there was no wiggle room at all. what do you think of this change? >> i you know what? i don't think you know, if kids want to do extra credit and go that extra mile to get a better grade, god bless them. but i do feel for the kids that are kind of left in the lurch a little bit, but there might be a better way to do it. okay. yeah, yeah, there's got to be because you have to let the kids who want the want the credit want to go extra do. >> yeah. you can't, you can't. >> you don't want to hamper them. >> you want to hamper them too. >> so the ones who are down there need a little extra or a lot of extra love. so it's hard to really keep an eye on. >> we're going to keep an eye on that one, okay. >> because otherwise the ones at the top. >> yeah i mean, i've done stories even here at schools where where parents have said things like that, you know, to me, do you remember years ago where at least a cal they used to have classes pass. >> no pass. right. and i didn't

like that. you know, i took a couple, but i ended up getting good grades at them anyways. and i'm thinking, jeez, if you're going to put the effort in, go for the grade. >> you're like, i want my a, not just a pass. >> yeah, not just a pass i see. >> okay. all right. we'll see. we'll see if any more school districts adopt that change. >> all right. well here are the results from our earlier poll so far, we had mentioned and this morning we're asking if there should be an age restriction for e-bikes. a school district up in the north bay thinking of doing that. and right now, yes, absolutely. 72. no kids or kids 27% just changed as we spoke. and of course, you can still vote. scan the qr code, go to ktvu.com/vote and we'll have more results coming up a little bit later in the show. >> all right. now to this happening now a rally outside the federal women's prison in dublin. people there are calling on the bureau of prisons to pause its plans to close a facility and release the women in custody. well, now, they may be getting some last minute help with their cause after attorneys filed an emergency injunction in federal court this morning. ktvu allie rasmus joins us live with the latest developments. ali >> well, fci dublin is the

federal women's prison here in the bay area. it's just to the left of us here and across the street, you can see a group of about a dozen people. they are advocates for the women incarcerated here, some friends and family members of the women incarcerated here. and they are calling for the release of some of the women who were incarcerated. earlier this week, the federal bureau of prisons prison officials announced abruptly that they were closing this facility and moving out the more than 600 women in custody here to other federal prisons as far away as illinois and alabama . that closure of the prison comes after several years of criminal cases of corrections officers here sexually abusing the women in custody since 2022, seven corrections officers at this dublin prison have been convicted of sexually abusing and assaulting the women incarcerated here. now, in response to those legal problems, the us bureau of prisons decided on monday to shut down the prison entirely and move everyone out. family members of some of the women who

are incarcerated here say that abrupt closure has created stress and uncertainty. we spoke to a woman who came here this week from arizona to visit her mother here at dublin, and now with the closure and some transfers already underway, she doesn't know where her mom will be bussed and sent to or when she'll get to see her again. >> so it's been very chaotic, it's been a roller coaster of emotions. this last week she's called saying, you know, they're screaming at them. they're being asked to just up and pack all of their things into one small bag. you know, it just feels that they're being punished after they've already been victimized, and of course, like the unknown, they feel like in there, they don't have anyone advocating for them. >> alexis verdugo says she's worried her mother will be transferred to a federal prison in illinois or even farther away. verdugo and her husband and young kids live in phoenix. her mother is in the middle of serving a 20 year sentence for

drug related crimes. now, all of this comes as just this morning, attorneys representing some of the women in this prison filed an emergency injunction. it was part of a last ditch effort to at least slow down the process of transferring the women to other prisons, to see if some of them might be eligible for early release before they're moved. so because of that legal action, we're not sure what is happening right now with this transfer process. it may be in flux. a federal judge will review the request for that injunction right now, so we'll have to wait and see how the judge overseeing this decides. but it may be a moot point because sources are telling ktvu that the majority of the women incarcerated here have already been relocated and transferred to other prisons. now, in the meantime, this group of advocates here is going to be we hear them some shouting and some talking. their plan was to be out here on arnold drive, which is right along the route that some of those prison transfer busses would take, and so their, their goal was to be here and be visible and again, call for the release of the

women in custody here at the dublin federal prison instead of having them relocated to other facilities all across the country. live in dublin. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie, thank you. now to the battle between oakland and san francisco as it intensifies now that the city has filed suit against the town over its proposal to add san francisco bay to the official name of oakland international airport. let's learn more about the impact of the proposed change by welcoming catherine melchior. uc berkeley haas school of business marketing professor, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. thanks very much, garcia. >> of course, of course. so, san francisco is suing oakland, saying renaming it to san francisco bay, oakland international airport would infringe on its trademark and cause confusion. does anybody own the words san francisco bay? >> you can't own san francisco bay like you can't own california or san francisco or oakland for that matter. but the fact is that oakland is trying to capitalize on san francisco

airport's name and that they have owned and trademarked, and they've been using it for nearly 100 years. >> so you're a san francisco native, i'm guessing you'll understand when i say sometimes. i still think of the giants ballpark as pacbell park going back 20 plus years here. do these name changes? most of them, of course. the result of corporate rebranding, even register with people? >> they do register, but it takes time. it takes it takes time. and the idea of a brand is that it creates a promise. so when you name something, you're creating a promise. and in this case, they're trying to say that the oakland airport is trying to say that this is the san francisco bay airport. but the fact is, oakland is not san francisco, and it's going to create confusion. it's completely problematic for everyone. it will create false expectations for the traveler. it it's confusion for both the traveler and for sfo. and it's actually missed value for oakland. >> but nationally and even

internationally, i'm afraid that if you look at headlines, some people would say oakland maybe isn't the name you want to try to sell, if you will, to travelers outside our region. is there any, you know, do you give any credence to the thought that maybe oakland is trying to distance itself just a little, tiny bit from the name of its city and trying to capitalize on the fact that it is on san francisco bay? >> yes, it's true that it's on the water, but they could also call it oakland bay. i mean, they it's the question is that i think they feel that oakland is challenged by low recognition or a negative impression, as you say. well, san francisco these days, i might say, is actually has a lot of negatives too. some people think it's too big, it's too expensive, it's hard to get. it's hard to get around. so i think that the challenge and this is the fun part of branding and marketing, is that the oakland airport team needs to get creative, and they actually have to play off the advantage

of their location. they have the three letters oq, okay. it's about it speaks to nature. it could they could call it accessible oakland. oakland bay or i believe that the oakland council woman, rebecca kaplan, even suggested oakland sunny side of the bay airport. yeah. think of all the short sleeved t shirts they could sell if they rebrand. branded it oakland sunny side of the bay. right. >> and that might work for, let's say, people who are familiar with california who want to get more of that sunshine. but you know, if i'm an overseas traveler, i mean, you don't have to go even across a sea. i was thinking of flying to new york, actually, to visit a relative in new jersey. and i was like, so which airport there would i even use? and it took a lot of slicing and dicing on my end to figure out who would get me closest to cousin lori, sort of similar to what we have here. >> yeah, i think that that's true. well, normally today, if you're going and you're searching for a flight, you can say san francisco area airports and then all of the airports

will come up. but it would be very confusing for a traveler who's not familiar with the area to see, okay, there's a san francisco airport, and then there's a san francisco bay airport. well, what's the difference? at least the way they're today branded. we know that one of them is on the san francisco side of the bay, and the other one is not on the san francisco side of the bay. what do you think's going to happen here? well well, i would suggest that the san francisco airport has a pretty strong case. i'm not an attorney. i'm just a marketing expert. but i can tell you that i think that it's a pretty hard, battle to argue over a company, a brand name that's been in use for, if not 100 years. i believe it's been at least 50 or 60 years. >> yeah, it's been a good long time. meanwhile, i can't imagine calling it anything other than oakland airport, but we'll have to see where it goes. all right, professor, i know you're i like it. >> it's oak.

>> yeah, i like it, too. and i like the whole oak. and the trees. and i know that there are possibilities there. but again, i think it's. they're not trying to track me and you, they're trying to track people who are coming to our region for the first time. it's been a fun discussion. you're joining us from overseas, a whole different time zone. so thank you again for your time. professor catherine melchiori from uc berkeley school of business. all right. coming up on the nine, we get to talk animals. >> yeah, we sure are giant pandas. in fact, we'll soon be welcomed back to the san francisco zoo. the mayor, london breed, announced it during her trip to china. ktvu bailey o'carroll is in san francisco with more details. bailey hello. are you with us? bailey? >> i don't think she can hear us. she gave us the. all right. we'll check in with her. >> she's probably looking at pandas. right. exactly. >> our tesla issues a major recall for its newest vehicle model coming up on mornings on two and nine. why regulators are concerned about pedal issues after a firsthand experience went viral on social media. then

i went to the san francisco zoo. baglio carroll has more in the city. and what that all curtails. good morning. >> good morning guys. that's right. pandas coming to san francisco for the first time in quite a while. the last time san francisco zoo housed giant pandas. it was back in 1985, and that was only for three months, as those pandas were on sort of a world tour, country tour here in the u.s. making stops at different zoos all around the country. and it drew quite a lot of visitors to the zoo. more than 260,000 city and zoo officials, of course, hoping that this time around, it draws even more folks out to see those adorable panda bears. now, san francisco mayor london breed made the announcement on social media last night that as she was

on a week long trip to china in an effort to bring more business and tourism to the city of san francisco, mayor breed called the process of getting the pandas here a collaborative one that required months of advocacy and coordination, and the idea was actually floated originally around the apex summit, which took place in san francisco back in november. >> we have some cute, cuddly black and white beauties coming to our city. ladies and gentlemen, welcome pandas to san francisco. >> and the process of housing those pandas has already started. actually, engineers from the beijing zoo were here at the zoo in san francisco to meet with officials to look at a potential enclosure, discuss where the bears will exactly call home within the zoo. and it's likely, though, that the zoo won't be ready for them until 2025, after they can renovate existing facilities. now, typically, pandas are on lease for about $1 million a year annually for two panda

bears, though right now we don't know exactly how many pandas will be coming from china to san francisco. right now. the atlanta zoo is the only zoo in the u.s. with any of those giant pandas. one other thing. we still don't know the exact date that those pandas will get here to the san francisco zoo. reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> art bailey, thank you. tesla is recalling nearly 4000 cybertrucks to fix a potentially dangerous issue with the accelerator pedals. federal safety regulators issued the recall for cybertrucks that were made dating back to november. the defect can result in the pedal pad dislodging and getting stuck when high force is applied to the pedal. tesla says the brakes will still function if this happens. one driver shared how the issue affected him on social media. the cybertruck owners post went viral after illustrating how his pedal gets stuck and the vehicle starts to accelerate on its own. bart is

making some changes to its elevators escalators to settle a class action lawsuit. >> that lawsuit claimed bart violated civil rights for those with disabilities by not providing clean, working elevators at a bart station. as part of the settlement, bart will continue to make renovations. it also says that if equipment breaks down, it will make sure a repair person is sent out within an hour. we talked with the bart writer this morning about her thoughts on the condition of those bart elevators. >> it is very dirty and something needs to be sanitized. it's small. this is what the smell is not good at all. i do think it's very important. there is a lot of elevators that are out of use. sometimes usually in the morning when i'm going to bart, i can hear it say, oh, this elevator is out of use. and it's like, even sometimes for me, i'm like, great. so, you know, i think this is amazing. and i think they need to do it

quicker and faster. >> we did receive a statement from bart this morning saying in part, quote, working with advocates, advancing a series of improvements to elevators, escalators, training and other things like accessible path signage. we will continue to work to make bart as accessible as possible for all of our riders. as part of the settlement, bart did not accept any wrongdoing. it also has to pay an $825,000 fee for attorneys to the groups that brought the lawsuit forward, and a reminder that bart is planning a special sendoff this weekend for the last of its legacy trains transit agency, holding a retirement ceremony that will be held at 1:00 tomorrow at the macarthur bart station in oakland. the legacy trains are made up of the old rail cars that serve the bay area for more than 50 years, most of the old bart cars have been recycled for metal scrap. >> well, the warriors season ended a lot sooner than many expected, and now managers are looking to reshape the team so
