, the fifth just in the last year, the president's motorcade made its way to two campaign receptions in the south bay on friday, the first in portola valley at a fundraiser hosted by billionaire venture capitalist vinod khosla. the second fundraiser, hosted by former yahoo and google executive marissa mayer. >> we need actions from biden, which he could easily take. he could pick up the phone and things could change in a heartbeat. >> pro-palestinian demonstrators rallied outside both events and at one point blocked part of the motorcade there, calling on biden to stop sending military aid to israel. they told us they're also working to reach his donors. >> there are an unprecedented amount of billionaires and millionaires, and a lot of money is going to the democratic party. we want these donors to understand that we care about what's happening in palestine right now. >> but they weren't the only demonstrators lining the streets. some groups holding israeli flags wanted to thank biden for the work he's been doing for i do not support the israeli government's decisions. >> i support israel's existence and israel's right to defend itself. but i think that right

now the goal should be returning the hostages, and it looks like the best way to do that is the hostage deal. >> and you're happy with how the president has approached that. i am. despite the protests, experts say the fundraiser will be critical to his campaign. >> it's a cliche, but we are the nation's piggy back for these campaigns. there's a lot of people here with a lot of money and a lot of interest in who wins these elections >> all right. unfortunately, we lost the signal there. but zach fuentes reporting on the president's ongoing activities in the bay area and seattle this weekend. president biden's visit brought out a lot of families and visitors to san francisco's marina green. get a glimpse. abc7 news reporter suzanne fawn found some who couldn't wait to see the president, and others

who were caught by surprise. >> there was a buzz of excitement in the air at the marina green. >> i think it's pretty awesome. >> phones were out. all eyes were on the sky. 15 month old colette mcnair and her parents were out and about when they saw all the aircraft arrive. it was amazing. >> we had no idea it was going to happen, but we were on a walk and we were here and saw all these helicopters come down and it's just incredible. i mean, it makes me teary eyed when you see it. >> yeah, it's just so impressive to see like the power of it and just to see actually on uh, you know, the marina green like that's, you know, you never expect to see that little colette got her first glimpse of the president. super cool, i don't know if she really knows what's going on. >> all the excitement didn't last for long. the president's motorcade zipped by, and marine one was off. it's exciting, you know, i mean, i used to live in washington, dc, so, you know, the president comes. it's a little bit of a zoo, you just avoid it or you watch it. >> this was the second time president biden was in san francisco in recent months for a campaign fundraising stop. >> there's lots of campaign

donations here. so i think it's a good strategy. >> i think it makes sense. >> yeah, there's a lot of money here in the bay area and there's a lot to be had. well most likely see more candidates campaigning here in the bay area. >> those who turned out to the marina green today agree they couldn't have asked for a better day. >> what a beautiful day. and, just a wonderful surprise to see the president, you know, come in in the whole all the helicopters come by. it was just a wonderful experience. and, it was a lot of fun. >> yeah, we knew we were grateful to be able to see it and to be able to have colette see it, too. after the bay area president biden heads to seattle for more campaign fundraising events at marina green suzanne phan abc seven news. >> meanwhile, mr. biden's likely opponent in november, former president donald trump, spent his day in a new york courtroom. he'll return to the campaign trail tomorrow with a rally in wildwood, new jersey. >> oakland's new police chief is set to start his job. this new job coming this coming monday, but he won't be the only new face on the force there. abc7 news reporter anser hassan met with a few of the 12 new officer

cadets that graduated from the academy this morning. >> reporter i proudly present to you the graduates of the 183rd basic. under the eye of oakland's incoming police chief, the graduates of oakland police department's 193rd academy are ready to take their ranks. >> it's been a long journey, but now i can officially say i'm officer moreno. >> officer kevin molina says he got into law enforcement because he sees it as a pathway to helping the community. we want to be the ones to be out there helping in whatever way i can, even if it's just a simple conversation, a simple love. >> i can make that difference in someone's life. >> officer manveer sandhu is one of three females in this graduating class. she's a punjabi sikh. for her, this is also about representation. >> that's one of the differences i wanted to make, to kind of open up that field to uh- females from my community, from my culture as well. i feel like it's definitely exciting and a excited to go on the new path. >> and muhammad zanoni.

>> these graduates underwent six months of grueling training and academics during that time in the academy. two oakland police officers died from injuries suffered in the line of duty. >> no one can take away from you when you have just accomplished. however, the work has just begun. this profession is not easy. it's hard. >> officer molina admits that was a hard reality to face. >> i'm not going to lie. >> i feel a little fear because that is a reality. i could go out there in my very first day on patrol and my life would be taken, but that's the choice. i'm making, and it's actually a choice that makes me want to do it more, because i'm willing to put my life on the line to help anyone i can. if that means that they could go back home to their families, dispersed. >> in oakland, anser hassan, abc7 news. >> today was graduation day for uc berkeley law students, first of the year for this university as its commencement commencement weekend kicks off. uc berkeley

says, you know everything is going forward as usual. no impact from the pro-palestinian protest encampment at sproul plaza at times today, protesters can be heard interrupting dean erwin chemerinsky >> let us continue >> pretty loud in the background there. tomorrow, thousands of undergraduates will get their diplomas at memorial stadium. there are 90 other graduation related ceremonies and events taking place around campus in the coming days. other universities that have seen large pro-palestinian demonstrations are changing their graduation ceremonies. in fact, usc just canceled its main stage ceremony, opting for 100 smaller events. they had a graduation celebration last night at the memorial coliseum in l.a. cal poly humboldt is

holding smaller graduation ceremonies. they're doing so off campus. the university remains closed since police broke up a pro-palestinian encampment. other schools, like cal state east bay, are having a regular commencement this weekend. >> fire investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire that cleared out a senior housing facility in san francisco this morning. that fire started at around 1030 on the third floor of the building on fillmore street, near sutter. firefighters had to evacuate more than 50 residents and many of those seniors there. they do have disabilities. it took about 75 firefighters to put out the fire and help rescue those tenants. but investigators say no one, thankfully, was seriously hurt. governor newsom submitted his revised may budget today, calling for cuts to key programs and vacant state jobs. >> but no new taxes. mr. newsom says the deficit grew by $7 billion over his $38 billion projection back in january, but thanks to $17 billion in cuts and other actions, he and lawmakers have already made, the deficit now stands at $27.6

billion, the governor says despite adjustments in his proposal, he believes the state's values are, quote, foundationally intact. if we move along the blueprint we're putting forward, we'll be back where we need to be and that is back in the black uh- we'll be back on our feet as it relates to this budget, and we'll continue to do nation leading work across the spectrum. so here are the major takeaways from mr. newsom's $288 billion budget plan proposing funding cuts to some 260 different state programs, including the jobs first and cal works programs. it cuts 10,000 vacant state jobs and eliminates $2 billion in broadband expansion, plus $500 million that would have improved water storage. now two major developments regarding land lines. first, the governor's proposed budget calls for the elimination of land lines in the state government, doing that to help cut costs. but land lines appear safe for california residents today. the state public utilities commission

issued a proposal to reject at&t s request to withdraw as the carrier of last resort. commissioners got an earful from the public at their march meeting when at&t complained the service is too expensive to maintain for so few customers. a vote is expected next month, a possible stunning site and some possible problems due to a major solar storm. >> and what happens when you help someone get off the streets but they aren't ready to put that life behind them, and the company pulling the plug on some pride merchandise. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. as expected, our hot spots today in the 90s.'ll let you know if that heat is when your child has moderate—to—severe eczema, it's okay for them to show off. show off their clearer skin and noticeably less itch with dupixent. because children 6 months and older with eczema have plenty of reasons to show off their skin. with dupixent, the number one prescribed biologic

now you can see just how far the visibility could go as we show you the map here. best places to see the northern lights will be across the northern u.s. and you see where the green light is. abc seven news reporter tim johns has been talking to experts about how high our chances really are, and he joins us live now up top on the roof with the details. hi, tim. >> hey, larry. yeah that's right. now, experts tell me how strong your chances are of seeing the northern lights. really depends on where you physically are. for the best possible chance. you got to get away from the city lights and go find someplace a little bit darker. sky watchers across the

bay area could be in for a big treat friday and saturday nights , thanks to an unusually strong solar storm, the northern lights could be visible to us here in northern california because this is such an active storm, the aurora are much more broader extending than than they normally are. gerald mckeegan is an astronomer at the chabot space and science center. he says the geomagnetic storm is so strong, it's one of the first that scientists have monitored in almost 20 years sides creating the possibility of seeing the northern lights, mckeegan tells me. it could also have other, less cool effects. >> i would say there's a good possibility, at least in some areas, that there may be some interruptions of cell phone service, tv transmission, uh, power outages, things like that. >> but possibly seeing the northern lights so close to home has it sighted many here in the bay area? no, no, i've never seen that. >> i would love to see it. >> best friends rajan and

phyllis say they didn't even know it was happening. no no, but we are ready for that because we actually want to see the northern lights. the pair tell me they planned an entire trip to iceland last year just to see the aurora borealis, but after a volcano in that country forced them to cancel their trip, they've been trying to make other plans. >> so if we can see it here, that would be great. wonderful. >> would save you money and you could stay at home. >> yes, yes. >> even if the lights are visible in the bay area, experts say where you are might determine if you actually see them or not. brian mendez is with the uc berkeley lawrence hall of science says getting away from the light pollution of the city is your best bet. >> further in the east bay might be a good place to head or up north, basically away from the megalopolis of san francisco, oakland, san jose. >> and, you know, i did ask a lot of people besides the obvious beauty, what is it about the northern lights that makes them so excited? and several people told me it's a reminder

that we're all just a small part of a much larger universe in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, spectacular. if you get a chance to see it. and we always run into this, i wonder what the fog is going to be like. oh, yeah. >> fog cloud cover the whole nine yards. right. we check in now with meteorologist andy patel for a look at our chances of being able to get a peek at those northern lights. >> yeah, and julian and larry, i think if you move away from the beaches, away from those city lights, you'll have your best opportunity to see them. hopefully you'll get lucky. let me show you a graphic here. now, the southern extent of visibility is all the way down in southern california, but as you will notice, the highest chance will be in northern california. 1 to 4 a.m. tomorrow. you'll want to move away from the bright lights. and if you are going to use a camera, use a long exposure camera to hopefully capture a view of the northern lights. it should be pretty cool if you can see it, but you're going to have to look on the northern horizon.

it's going to appear as a faint green glow if you do see it. good luck viewing. take a look at what's happening with our atmosphere. high pressure is in control of our weather still and that's keeping us dry. but we were already experiencing some changes. you probably noticed the fog came back last night. now it kind of evaporated and now it's coming back up again right around monterey. at this hour, we are also seeing some precipitation mixed precept over the southern sierra. at this hour, a live view from our san rafael camera. and it is just a beautiful blue sky there. 69 in the city, 74 in oakland. you've probably noticed the coast cooled off today. 86 in san jose, but it's been pretty hot inland right now. half moon bay, 61 degrees. looking at a live picture from our san jose camera and it's a sunny view. 87 in santa rosa. you're in the low 90s from fairfield to concord, 88 in livermore, one other live picture from walnut creek camera. and here's a look at the headlines tomorrow. another hot day inland overnight, some fog along the coast. and it is going

to be nice for mother's day, but cooler mix of sun and fog. so let's talk about how quickly things are going to cool around here. not very quickly inland. at 515. we're still talking about 80s inland, 60s right near the coast. 7:00 tonight you'll still be dealing with the warm weather. if you like that kind of weather, then you're in luck, because even at 9 p.m, we have 70s inland, but 50s right near the coast where you'll need those jackets tomorrow morning. we begin with the fog along the coast, 50s and 60s to start the day quickly warming inland into the 80s by the lunch hour and by the afternoon hours. we're going to still see a repeat of some of those 90s once again. but don't worry, the coast will be a place to escape the heat if you don't like it. so first thing tomorrow morning. most of you in the 50s and 60s, 49.5 moon bay tomorrow afternoon in the south bay, 86 in san jose, 84 in milpitas on the peninsula. it will be a nice day. 81 in mountain view, 63 in pacifica. partly cloudy. the fog is going to hang around near the coast. 69 in downtown san

francisco. so north bay numbers 85 in vallejo, 88 in santa rosa, 83 san rafael heading into the east bay. mid 70s from berkeley to oakland. 83 fremont inland areas. you'll be in the upper 80s to the low 90s. 92 fairfield 88. in livermore, the accuweather seven day forecast does feature another hot one inland. still going to be comfortable at the coast with the fog around and then pleasant for moms. the heat, we're going to take the edge off of it a little bit. with the marine influence going stronger, cooling continues through monday before temperatures come right back up again rebounding. and it's going to be back to summer like conditions. so larry and julian looking nice. >> forecast has been perfect the last few days. >> i'm so glad you like it. >> and forecasts are as well giving me credit where credit is due of course thank you. it doesn't it doesn't happen that often so i might as well enjoy. >> i'm like larry's in a good mood on this show. >> absolutely. it's going to be warm. there we go. if you're headed to wine country for

mother's day weekend, take note there's an important road closure you'll want to know about. eastbound 37 will be closed at sears point starting tonight at 10 p.m. until monday, 5 a.m. this is for pavement repairs, so if you're driving eastbound from novato, you'll have to detour onto the carneros highway in sonoma county and get to state route 29 in vallejo. and just be ready for a lot of slow moving traffic in the area. westbound 37 will stay open all weekend long. all right, another thing you want to be aware of, bart will not be running trains this weend between union city and the warm springs south. fremont station crews will be replacing aging equipment, cutting down some vegetation. bus service will be available between those stations. the green line between san jose and daly city will also shut down both saturday and sunday. you can check the bart website for updated schedules and ride alternatives just ahead here on abc seven news at four. >> the dangerous missions, a bay area nonprofit are undertaking to help protect the planet and later the boeing 747

transitioning from commercial to military use. >> the government ominously calls them doomsday planes

their work firsthand. abc seven news reporter luz pena has a look. >> it might look like the front

lines of a war zone, but these patrols are fighting a different kind of battle. with the help of a bay area nonprofit. they're guarding some of the most environmentally valuable sites in the world and taking on poachers, loggers, illegal miners, and, in some cases, organized crime. >> we're up against syndicates, organized crime in many, many of the countries, anytime there's ivory, gold. >> jeff morgan is a former silicon valley executive and founder of a unique bay area based nonprofit called global conservation. the group's mission is to train and outfit park rangers in countries around the world, including this group that protects the mirador national park in guatemala. it's home to mayan ruins and more than a million acres of tropical forests. global conservation helps supply them with high tech tools like trail cameras, satellite monitors and facial recognition software so that they can run the park, see where all the rangers are, see where the threats are, respond to the

threats in an organized way, and now their work is about to be seen by viewers here in the u.s. as abc news correspondent bob woodruff embedded with the patrols for a series of reports to air later this summer on abc news live and hulu. >> down in ecuador to try to track down exactly how these illegal gold mining is being done. we went down in cambodia on patrol inside the forests where that two has been hard to stop in terms of those that are cutting down the trees. >> he hopes that by spotlighting the dangerous work these stories will also increase global support for protecting some of the most pristine habitats on the planet. >> we have to keep this not just for beauty, not for the species, but for the ability to try to help this this earth. >> in san francisco, luz pena abc seven news. >> now, last night, bob woodruff of abc helped moderate a panel at the filoli mansion in woodside. >> the goal was all about reaching out to environmental donors to help create and

support park protection programs all across the world. >> all right. coming up, there's a battle to get people off the streets into housing. not everybody is ready to put that life behind them, though. >> they want to be on the streets. even if the city provides services to them. they already get used to be with their own freedom. but sometimes housing just is not enough. >> this is my family. are this is my friend, who i was on the streets with. you know, i don't matter if i come out here. >> abc seven news report lyanne melendez looks at

off to seattle to continue a west coast fundraising trip. today, he held two fundraisers on the peninsula at the homes of tech millionaires in portola valley and palo alto. mr. biden reportedly has $155 million in campaign cash for the upcoming presidential race. >> as a part of the efforts to build a better bay area, san francisco has prioritized housing as the way to end homelessness and blight on city streets. but it's more complex than just giving people a roof over their heads. >> absolutely. as abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez discovered, there are those who are formerly unhoused who now enjoy a home and the streets simultaneously. and liane, this is somewhat disconcerting to those that think, okay, we're going to put somebody in in their own apartment, and that's okay. then we move on to the next person and confusing as well. >> you know, i think many believe that housing is the end all to all the homeless issues. and it's so much more complex than that. you know, there are some people who have been given housing who come back to occupy space on city streets. an

example of that is a woman by the name of victoria solomon. and for the past two months, we have been following her as she moves between two neighborhoods victoria solomon has achieved a bit of notoriety in san francisco's castro district for years. unhoused and according to supervisor rafael mandelman office, solomon was given housing and lives in an sro in the tenderloin district. but a few neighbors and merchants complained after she started setting up a tent again in the castro. on different days of the week. >> they want to be on the streets, even if the city provides services to them. they already get used to be with their own freedom. >> for a while, solomon was even parking her car in the castro district, a 2008 bmw. we ran the plates and confirmed that it was registered to a victoria solomon neighbors started taking pictures of solomon and her friends hanging out in the car. a few weeks ago, the city towed

and impounded the vehicle after it was no longer running. to be clear, to our knowledge, there is nothing illegal with what she has been doing except that some say it defies logic. when you give someone a place to live and they continue to occupy a public sidewalk, leaving trash behind, i am frustrated when we do not allow ourselves to address unsafe conditions on sidewalks. >> that's not okay. that's what we have to change. >> in late march, we received this picture from a neighbor showing solomon sitting on the sidewalk. so after i received that photo, i decided to come down to the castro to see if i can find her. she wasn't hard to find. >> i didn't matter if i come out here like it really doesn't matter. i don't understand why my personal life is what i'm doing after. >> and i wish you. can you stop supporting me? >> there are others who do the same. the city is well aware. in fact, the department of emergency management told us outreach teams are on the

streets every day, sheltering people every night and moving people out of homelessness every day. despite this effort, 10% of the people healthy streets operation center encounters self-report. they are already housed or sheltered. zachary padgett is one of them. do you understand that some people get very upset by watching all of this out on the street? >> yeah, and the home has been given to you, right? >> i mean, i get that this is my family. this is my friends. i don't have any family out here. i come from oregon and uh- uh- who i was on the streets with. >> you know, zack, a recovering fentanyl user, told us his friends stay clear of fentanyl and they make sure he does, too. lydia brandston, a community organizer, says there's a component to this homeless crisis that people often disregard, which is that as social beings, we need companionship in a sense of community. >> when people get housing, they don't leave their community

necessarily. they keep going back to their community, and it takes a while to have that transition to a new community and a new area. >> but some questioned the fairness of having a place to live while taking up space on the sidewalks. every person who lives in supportive housing contributes 30% of what they receive towards rent. the city fills in the gap. 60% of the department of homelessness and supportive housing $700 million budget goes towards housing. >> we are subsidizing, you know, north of 10,000 units in in san francisco that are forever homes for folks where they are paying subsidized rent and we're providing the subsidy. i think that's good. but we also need to do something about making sure that folks can use our public spaces. >> one solution may be to create more community drop in centers, like this one at the gubbio project, where people stay in community. >> this is a place where people

can come and hang out, and those places are few and far between. >> as we know. the courts have said that san francisco cannot remove a homeless person from the sidewalk unless they are offered available shelter. but this is a tricky situation because solomon is no longer on house. and that's why supervisor mandelman is so frustrated because he says the city, the board are not addressing the issue of unsafe conditions on our sidewalks. so it's happening. it's a thing i mean, we read about it about six months ago and became very interested in it. yeah i think there's a misunderstanding here in terms of the assumption that once they get some housing, that they're immediately going to leave the streets. >> but one thing i don't know if this has been tried in other cities. here's the problem, okay? you're you're unhoused and maybe you're using drugs and you go up to your apartment, then you come straight back down into the same environment. other cities have, and which is what happens in the tenderloin, exactly where you have to remove them from that environment. and

create housing elsewhere so that they can't just go through the cycle over and over and over again. >> and that's why a lot of people tell me i will never live in the tenderloin if i'm a recovering addict, because i don't want to go into that situation again. i've been there, done that, have the shirt to prove it, but you know, the t shirt to prove it. so yeah, it's a thing. so it's a tricky situation as he says. so it's something, you know, that we sort of have to continue to adjust. >> yeah. but the changing locations i think is key to changing lifestyle. so. correct. if we can really do that. but thank you liane. appreciate it. all right, this is a little scary here. warning from the fbi pride events could be targeted by terrorists this year. this warning comes after isis reportedly called on followers to conduct attacks on soft targets. the fbi says that could include large lgbtq events associated with june pride month. the agency is asking the public to report any threats. june 12th is the eighth anniversary of the pulse

nightclub shooting. 49 people were killed. the gunman had sworn allegiance to isis. >> target shoppers may have a harder time this year finding pride merchandise inside of stores. the retailer says it's limiting the number of locations that will sell lgbt q themed merchandise. a boycott last year by conservative activists upset at pride merchandise displays in stores hurt target sales. the company says it will still offer all of its pride apparel and merchandise. you just got to get it online. at a statement, target says it will continue to support lgbtqia+ organizations year round, including human rights campaign, family equality and more. >> coming up on abc seven news at 4:00. a possible reprieve from rising fast food prices. and are you ready for the doomsday jet
