to be able to have time to put you know, address the issues like homelessness and the things that we need. >> oaklanders reacting to the mayor's fbi raid and to recent violence as the city faces more challenges. we're working on it. we're healing people. we're preventing violence and we're saving hundreds or thousands of lives every year. >> meanwhile, a local organization working to turn the tide in the fight against gun violence in oakland. i was a little aid friday of the water because of the sharks. >> this swimmer first felt like a fish out of water but now he's on his way to the special olympics. we take a look at his journey to become a competitor. that needs to be decadent and rich and you know, high quality protein i saw that that market had not been tapped. >> a new shop bringing a sweet start to the vacant to vibrant program in san francisco. the owner giving the bay area a scoop of her own culture with each cone she sells. ooh. nothing like a little sweetness to get you started on a wednesday. i'm gianna franco. >> i'm reed cowan. so just

because we have that story you have permission today to get ice cream instead of coffee or coffee ice cream to start the day. why are you breaking the diet? i saw it over on kpix. >> is there caffeine in the coffeous cream? >> oh, yeah. take a look outside right noways. t a wednesday morning. and there's the golden glow and i said it off the top of broadcast. a good day. just set our intention and let's do it. and jess, lock in with us. how was your flight yesterday with the national guard? >> oh, it was long. i'm tired a little bit but it's okay. by the way have you heard of the aphagia doe? isn't that coffee with ice cream? >> never had one. >> never had one? you don't like ice cream. >> there's that. >> yeah. >> maybe i'll try it. jess. >> jess, talk about taking the plane out of the sky my goodness. let's start again. let's have a good day everybody. let's set the intention. jess, good morning. >> forget about the fact that gianna doesn't like ice cream.

a look at the clouds outside right now. it's cool and gray and it is a little bit mild for us and cool, chilly temperatures and 40s and 50s in the forecast. the next couple of hours just around 9:00, 10:00 the clouds pull back along the coast, we are left with sunnier skies along the inland areas today but some gusty conditions too. wind speeds up to 20, 25 miles per hour along the coast stream stretching inland too. about 30 to 35-mile-per-hour winds at 3:00 anywhere from the bay stretching down along the highway that makes its way into the golden gate bridge. down into san francisco too. winds are going to stay breezy as we head in the evening hours tonight but before we get there let's take a look at the daytime highs today. this afternoon, a lot cooler than yesterday. significantly cooler off in the east bay too. i mean, today we have 70s near napa and we have 80s off near concord and 80s into antioch and just two days ago we were close to the triple digits so over a ten degree difference within the matter of two days and we're continuing to cool down too as we head into the next couple of days. gearing up for a beautiful, but cool

weekend ahead of us. 70s and 80s today down into the santa clara valley. you just drive a little bit more north along 101, we're also sitting in the 70s today near redwood city. we'll have more on your forecast as we wrap up this week and head into a beautiful weekend. these clouds right now, gianna, are kind of reminding me of the ice cream that would go in the coffee which i feel like you need to try. >> it might land a little differently mixed with coffee. which coffee is one of my favorite things jess. you know what? i'm going to try it. today it's happening. starbucks see you later. let's talk about how you are seeing some delays this morning if you are getting up early heading out the door and heading towards b.a.r.t.. they've got some issues red line service today between millbrae and richmond. it is completely canceled and reportingn't 20 minute delays in the berryessa and san francisco international airport and millbrae directions. millbrae passengers from richmond you may take the orange berryessa train and you

will have to transfer at macarthur. take a yellow antioch train and transfer to a richmond train. that's a lot of information. check that schedule before you head out the door. but we are dealing with those delays for b.a.r.t. this morning. so you might see some unexpected busy conditions as you head to some of those stations. by the way, speaking of busy, in an area where people would likely forever over to the red line or use the red line, two lanes are blocked westbound 80 at san pablo dam road because of a crash with injuries and it's back all the way into hercules. a busy start to your wednesday morning. what is happening in the back rooms of oakland? this morning another development in the wake of last week's fbi raid on the home of mayor sheng thao. here's the headlinement over the last two days following a fiery speech declaring her innocence. now the man hired to communicate for her she lost. he's out.

francis zamora calling it quits without offering any reason. those of you waking up in oakland know this happens as you are city at the same time faces a lot of problems including $177 million budget deficit. our lauren toms spoke to you the oakland voter about sheng thao's troubles and a new proposal to slash millions of dollars from the police and fire department budgets. >> i'm disappointed in everything that's happening. >> reporter: john feels different about oakland mayor sheng thao these days. he tells us he supported thao when she ran for mayor and been in oakland most of his life and has experienced home lessness and that's exactly what drew him to her candidacy. >> she -- based her campaign a little bit on being homeless and she was unhoused for a little while and she had lived in her car and stuff with her kid. and i feel like she made some promises to the unhoused community that she didn't stick by. >> reporter: but 18 months later, john says the mayor

isn't focusing on the issues he hoped she would. >> just makes me feel -- well, sad in a sense because i know that in her time now is -- spread really thinly. so that means she's not going to be able to have time to you know, address the issues like homelessness and the things that we need and would like to see happen in oakland. but that's not her number one priority right now. >> reporter: the fbi raids at the mayor's home came just a day after a mass shooting in the city. late wednesday, 14 people were shot at lake merritt. and an issue other oaklanders are worried ant. thomas tells us she's been a victim of violence in oakland herself and in her view the mayor's response was too little, too late. >> it's very disheartening and it took four days to get a response. i'm tired of seeing crimes and tired of seeing people get shot. i had a gun put to my head before you know, when i was going through the drive-thru at popeyes and someone tried to rob me there. >> reporter: thomas is running for a city council seat in east

oakland on a platform the city needs to boost police staffing. >> we need to enforce law and order. that's what we need. because this is ridiculous. no one is safe out here. to cut police budgets and any kind of way, is -- just -- it's not right. >> reporter: but for john, he's stuck between wanting the best for his city and hoping the best for the mayor. but he says he's tired of being let down. >> we want everybody just to be able to live comfortably and oakland and get the resources and needs met. >> all right. we asked a political strategy and public affairs expert jim ross who he makes of this and he says the public is looking at this fbi investigation really under a microscope. because of all the other events that oakland is facing when thao first took office. we're talking about the i. t. hacking denial the deficits and stadium negotiations and loss of the a's and crime issues and more. listen. >> if this was a -- any normal course of events this would be

a one day, two day story. but because of i think the challenges that oakland has faced over the last year and a half, and the fact that there's a recall election in november, this one event becomes much more significant. >> so the city council will vote on those budget cuts today and friday and we will be there. but this is a community conversation. we want to know what you think. what should happen to fix oakland? should the mayor step down? sound off on social media and use the #kpix. and that's because we want to include you in the community conversation. stay tuned. what is the fix? by the way the scandal changes by the minute. you can find us on air and online and streaming on the free cbs news app. g? well, reed, another problem that oakland and other cities across the bay area have been dealing with are side shows. we've seen a lot of them lately. especially and they take over the streets. they're loud and very dangerous. but one city is taking action to keep the community safe. yesterday, antioch city council

members unanimously approved a side show ordinance. it would prohibit organizing advertising and spectating at side shows. anyone who violates the ordinance could face a $1,000 fine and sick months in jail or both. this is the fourth time the issue has been before the council. >> that has been the most effective tool we have as a city to stop side shows when we're proactive with law enforcement and finding those who are organizing these and dismantling them there. that's what we've been most effective. >> this is aniongoing problem. the council considered two versions of the ordinance. one targeting all involved parties and another focusing solely on organizers. they chose the latter aiming at organizers and advertisers andtech spectators. when you call 911, needing fast help, you depend on thephone lines to work but in pinole. san pablo and hercules, there's problem with that. police say thieves stealing

copper from phone line wires is putting everybody at risk. in fact, lines cut at least twice say police. look at these photos. most recent just four days ago. forcing calls to have to bererouted to sheriff's department and two in pinole were arrested by police just caught red-handed but the impacts are also expensive to you aside from public safety. the taxpayer. we'll keep following this. bull look at this. wildfire season in san jose. police say they have caught and cuffed the guy who's been accused of setting multiple brush fires. police put out three of them along east taylor and 23rd streets and that's just before noon yesterday. police credit a citizen who reported seeing the guy starting the fire so they can have a fast response. well, californians feel the burn from high gastritises and energy bills, u.s. secretary of energy jennifer granholm will be in the bay area today. her plan here is to be a part of upgrading a berkeley church to showcase the biden

administration's work to promote clean energy solutions to lower bills. well, this morning, a big story. wikileaks founder julian assange is a free man and all it took was a guilty plea to conspiracy under our country's espionage act. there he is embracing his family. still assange argues a conviction under that act stifles free speech and journalistic discovery of government agencies. you remember assange spent 62 months behind bars in london he says he plans to resume his life in his native australia. 6:11 is the time. san francisco opening a new shop and many of them as part of its vacant to vibrant program. we're going to highlight an ice cream shop bringing sweetness and hopes for a bay area bounce-back. and nearly a week after a mass shooting in oakland, a community group is stepping up

your community station celebrating any and all efforts. looking live at san francisco. well, it's a little cloudy there. but it's a clear day in the minds of business owners believing they can use pop-up locations as part of the vacant to vibrant program. >> about giving people an on ramp to setting up shop three months of free rent and help with navigating permits. shawn chitnis joins us now with a cool idea that has a screaming for ice cream this morning. and shawn, no more rocky roads for

businesses in the bay area. >> reporter: not for the ones that are a part of this program. right? they're really excited about. there's 20 so far that are all around downtown. and if you take look at the locations, one of them like we're going to highlight is near salesforce tower so it's a great way to get access to those people who are out and about. this particular one that we're talking about is called cool fi creamery and it is taking that combination of those flavors from india but then packaging it in that classic american dessert of ice cream and we think they have quite the success already as they get started. she is giving the bay area a scoop of her culture with each cup and cone she sells at cool fi creamery. >> my nostalgic flavor that brings me joy is all the days i walk with friends and family to have it in bombay. my hometown. >> reporter: its opening week at her new location in downtown san francisco thanks to the program. after expanding the business to her original store

in san leandro, she still dreamed of a chance to work in san francisco again. with this business. >> even though it was a deep-seated vision i never talked about it. >> reporter: the cost and the permitting process kept her from taking that step. until this opportunity offered three months of free rent and help to get all the proper permits. grants also cover some of the costs to open a new store. so now she hopes to build community here like she did when she used to work in the city and with her store in the east bay. >> in the afternoons after work, you know, happy hour, we'd go out with my colleagues and that's how i came to know them. not just as co-workers. but you know, as people. >> reporter: she moved to the u.s. from india back in 2001 to get a degree. she worked as a traffic engineer and project manager in san francisco before starting her own business in 2018. and an accident forced her to stay at home and think about what else she could be doing. and she chose to start a business with food. cool fi is an indian dessert like ice

cream. but she explains it's more of a milk popsicle. frozen but not churned. >> that needs to be decadent, rich, you know, high quality coffee and i saw that that market had not been tapped and it was missing. >> reporter: she loved the flavors of it so she learned how to make it on her own from scratch. and decided to create her own version more like the ice cream people enjoy here in the u.s. a fusion of her past and present. so far, she says the reception from the neighborhood has already been so welcoming. >> we're very excited the last few months, there have been a lot of businesses that have opened. we want you to be here and we want you to thrive. >> reporter: a chance to provide a product with your own personality has her excited about the future in the city. offering up something new to the neighborhood, mixed in with some nostalgia for her. all in one sweet treat. so she there is the co-owner along with her wife but she has the best

title. she is the chief ice cream engineer. hearkens back to her time working in traffic and having what she would say is a boring desk job. an example of a business that has the first three months covered by the city. then you can see how it goes and try to negotiate a lease beyond that. she's just in the first weeks so we'll have to see how it goes for her. last year, there were nine that launched last year, seven decided to sign along term lease. proof that it's working. >> really good. that's a very good ratio as far as -- yes. seven out of nine is really good. that looks delicious. >> someone might actually want ice cream. >> i might change my tune on ice cream after seeing that story. >> on ramp for new businesses and on ramp in the gateway for you to start ice cream. in looks so good. the coffee. >> best in the world today. we can accomplish much through ice cream. put rose petals on ice cream. come on. all right, let's -- take a look outside right now. >> yes. it is a wednesday

morning. and maybe you are going to start the day with what is it called? ice cream and coffee together. >> i just made a sound. just visceral like oh. >> i think we're all over this, jess, today. >> i love it so much. that's like my two favorite things put together. espresso and ice cream. done. okay. >> all right. also blue bottle makes one and i'm going to order one for us. >> it's happening. no. we're trying it. i mean, are you kidding me? i'm sold and i can't wait to walk towards like to the ice cream shop we just saw too. >> walk? >> well. >> run. >> run. [ laughter ] >> i'm pretty sure they're closed at 6:19 personal opinion but let's take a quick look at what's going on outside right now. we have that live look from mount diablo overlooking the east bay. see the clouds over there? yeah, that's really filling the bay area this morning. better yet you can actually see that on the virtual reality map and this is what it's looking like for many of us. gray, cooling cloudy right now and you can see that behind me from the

live look over the bay bridge from the rooftop cam. talk more about what's going on for us. yes a cool and cloudy start and also sitting in the 50s right now just along the coastline. we have some 60s down in the santa clara valley at this point. wind are going to get gustier this afternoon. right now wind speeds anywhere up to around 20 miles per hour along the coast. into the afternoon hours, now we're talking about 30-mile-per-hour winds. so a lot breezier compared to yesterday. that's just along the shoreline and inland areas, we're maxing off close to around 20-mile-per-hour winds just around dinner time tonight. so let's match that with what we can expect for our daytime highs. we now know it's a little bit cloudy to start the day. we'll see some sunshine into the inland areas into this afternoon. that cloud layer really dissipates and then we're left with 80s off in the east bay today. beautiful weather to be out there and get some fresh air and we have 60s -- we have 70s near redwood city. we have 60s too just along the peninsula. it's beautiful weather along the peninsula today minus the fact that we have some gusty conditions. at least this is dry. yesterday we had the light

showers in the bay area and some lightning activity with it too. a lot more clear for us today and down into the santa clara valley, well, we're topping off today in the 70s and 80s. let's dive into what we can expect as we head into the next seven days. starting off with our inland areas. for now, we're holding only tight to the 80s and we have 90s returning into the forecast into this weekend and triple digits around the corner into early next week. a huge area of high pressure is going to build its way in and that warms us up not only in our inland areas, but for our friends along the bay too with upper 80s in the forecast as early as next tuesday. we'll have more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. all right, thank you. let's talk about the roadways and public transit this morning. there's a lot going on, first off we are showing you a live look here at the b.a.r.t. macarthur station. b.a.r.t. has some delays this morning. bit of an issue red line service has been canceled between millbrae and richmond. so if you are a millbrae passenger, you can take the shuttle train between sfo and millbrae. you will be able to transfer over towards the yellow line and if you are a millbrae rider from richmond, take the orange berryessa train and transfer at this station

right here. reporting 20 minute delays in the berryessa direction. san francisco sfo direction. and millbrae direction. this is due to track maintenance. so keep that in mind. adding to that a.c.e. train 1 is delayed about 20 minutes between pleasanton station and the fremont am tracks
