potential, we're deeply aware of its risks from displacing jobs to generating false information to promoting bias and discrimination, to enabling the destabilizing use of autonomous weapons. so we're working with our partners to prevent and address these issues at the state department, spokesman matthew miller says the us government has been pressing for a cease fire for a while now. there has been a significant offer on the table. the ball has been in hamas's court. we have made clear that they should accept that offer. but a senior israeli official quickly told nbc news the details of this cease fire are not part of the framework. the israeli government agreed to. among the conditions, israel would have to release 33 palestinian prisoners in exchange for each israeli hostage, and would have to agree to end military operations in gaza. following a meeting of the israeli war cabinet, a spokesman for prime minister benjamin netanyahu said they will continue with plans for an operation in rafah while working on a cease fire agreement. that

comes despite what the white house says has been repeated calls by president joe biden against moving into southern gaza, including during an extended phone call this morning , according to two biden administration officials, the white house also stopped a shipment of weapons from being sent to israel last week. the white house determined that those weapons, including 2,000 pound bombs and other ammunition , would likely be used by israel in rafah. it marks a rare move by the united states to withhold weapons from a key ally because of concerns of how they would be used in san francisco, sergio quintana nbc bay area news. sergio, thank you. hundreds of protesters are still camped out at uc berkeley. it's been nearly two weeks since they set up tents you see there on campus. they say the news of this possible cease fire is encouraging. now it seems like we're just at the brink of finally an agreement where the term's might coincide between the two parties. we're trying to find, like, room for hope. some silver lining somewhere. the
6:02 pm
pro-palestinian encampment on the front lawn of sproul hall has grown to about 140 tents. so far, the demonstrators have been peaceful. protesters at san francisco state are also encouraged to learn of this potential cease fire, but they say their fight is far from over. today, students met face to face with university president lynn mahoney, demanding that san francisco state divest from companies that provide military aid to israel. president mahoney agreed the university could be more transparent with its investments, and vowed to provide more information on a website and look more closely at future investments. students say they're encouraged by the president's response, but wish that she would acknowledge the killings in palestine as genocide. mahoney said that that is not her role as a university president. and in southern california, dozens of arrests on the campus of ucsd today, this is in san diego. law enforcement ordered demonstrators to leave this growing pro-palestinian encampment. those who refused
6:03 pm
were arrested. also today, protesters gathered in downtown san diego demanding the release of those people that were arrested at ucsd. some officers, you see warring riot gear and were seen with batons. ucsd moved all classes remote. we do have new information tonight on the thursday shootings of two san jose police officers, the police union says officer joseph de la roche was treated and released from the hospital, and rookie officer jaime arredondo remains in critical but stable condition. they were responding to a guests call for help at the extended stay hotel on san ignacio avenue in south san jose. kevin bruins, who she thought she had a restraining order against, was knocking on her room door when officers arrived. they confronted bruins, who opened fire. a report shows he fired eight rounds, while officer des roches fired 11. both injured officers are still recovering, both in great spirits. right now. i've talked to both of them as recently as this morning, so they're so appreciative of all the support
6:04 pm
and the care and the prayers that people give them. bruins has a long criminal history, had two warrants for his arrest at the time of the shooting. the police union says one involved domestic violence for allegedly committing sex crimes on that same hotel guest, bruins is also in critical but stable condition if and when he recovers, he faces two counts of attempted murder on of an officer as well. fed up with crime and taking matters into their own hands. that's what one oakland woman says she and others are doing now in an effort to keep themselves safe, nbc bay area's velena jones explains. those screams from a family member come after someone broke kisha henderson's home window in east oakland at 4 a.m. last month. she says it took opd hours to respond. at this point, it's like you do want to take matters in your own hands, like i have to protect myself. yesterday, in another incident, henderson, a former oakland public safety task force member, took to social media explaining a group
6:05 pm
of three teens tried to steal a car from her driveway before running away. she says without accountability at the city level, the community has to respond by all means necessary. i'm not telling people to go out and start spraying. that's not what i'm telling people to do. but we also have to be realistic about, what we're up against safety concerns and what she says is a lack of action from the city is why she became a licensed gun owner last year. my protection comes first and so does my kids, and so i can't afford to wait on opd to arrive, and i can't afford to be on 911 call line for ten, 15, 20, 30 minutes. henderson joined the bay area gun club and she's not alone since the start of the pandemic, people of all races and ages ranging from 20 to 80 have signed up. the club says a majority of their clients are women living in oakland. the people in oakland are tired of being victims, and rightfully
6:06 pm
so. retired law enforcement and gun safety professionals lead the trainings. the group stresses their goal is to provide knowledge of guns and the law to keep their clients safe. we're not out there trying to make rambo and rambo hits and you know, we know we don't want people walking around looking like blade, you know? no, no, no. protect your family, protect your well being. and if need be, protect one another. last week, city officials announced overall crime dropped by 33% from last year. this time. but henderson doesn't believe that's true for her safety goes beyond being armed and falls on holding elected officials accountable. the power is in the hands of the community. we are we as a community, and we are as the voters and the taxpayers. we are the majority. we are not the minority. in oakland. velena jones, nbc, bay area news. we have new details tonight about
6:07 pm
president biden's visit to the bay area, which is coming this week. the president will touch down here in the bay area on friday, and he'll be busy with at least two high dollar fundraisers tonight. his campaigning is adding a visit to palo alto to his agenda. that palo alto event will be hosted by silicon valley heavyweights marissa meyer and joe ansanelli. the president will also be attending a separate fundraiser at the portola valley home of billionaire venture capitalist vinod khosla. no word yet on whether he'll have any public events. he's not the only biden who will be in the bay area. first lady jill biden will be speaking at an event in marin county on thursday evening. so before the president gets here, it's part of a three day fundraising trip for the first lady, which also includes stops in southern california, oregon and arizona. well, tonight we have a follow up on the wild saga of elizabeth holmes and theranos. investors in the doomed health care startup lost all their money. but today, some consumers are getting paid. our
6:08 pm
business and tech reporter scott budman is here. back on the theranos beat. it really never ends. but some people are actually getting money back in their pockets. is that correct? yeah. these are some of the customers. raj that took the test at walgreens and the checks are in the mail. people who took the theranos blood test are getting paid back. this goes back to a settlement a year ago between walgreens and theranos. last year, it was a separate lawsuit, walgreens, which gave consumers those theranos tests, was ordered to pay $44 million as refunds for the tests that gave inaccurate results. that money is now gradually going out to patients in california and arizona. some recipients tell me they're getting everything they paid and more. some say so far only the base of $10. those watching this say that money will likely vary. in fact, there were users reported in arizona who claim that they were getting approximately twice back what they paid for the theranos test. there was one user who got back
6:09 pm
$246. that was almost exactly double what they paid. so it's happening. i mean, it's happening for consumers that this money is going back in their pockets. okay. whether it's ten bucks, 40 bucks, whatever you're saying, you're getting some money back. say i took the test. how do i get that money? where do i go? this was a class action lawsuit, raj, where there was nothing you had to do as a customer. it was up to walgreens to go on the list, find you and send you the money. okay? and that's what's happening now. it's going to take a while because some people moved and things like that. there is a website that's been set up if you want to check it out, but this is one of those cases where those who get money don't have to prove it. they just get it. okay, so we're talking about refunds here. we're talking about theranos, which was founded and based in palo alto, elizabeth holmes. her trial was in san jose. but she's out in texas, still in jail, correct? right. she is in jail. oddly enough, she just today we found out had her sentence lessened by about three and a half, four months time for good behavior, according to the bureau of prisons. but she is still not scheduled to get out
6:10 pm
until august 16th of 2032. 2032. and she, i believe, has two young kids. she's still appealing the sentence. or is she now just going to take it as it is? there are appeals that were filed up until the time she went, and there's another one coming, i believe in june will be the latest appeal, but it has so far fallen on deaf ears. legally, there seems to be very little chance that the judge in the case will reverse the decision that would get her out of prison. but yes, the short answer is yes. she's appealing and i'm waiting for some sort of announcement. she's going to be writing a book or some netflix doc. is that anything out there? we haven't heard that yet. you know, there have been documentaries and many, many tv shows. but yeah, for all we know, there would be a book afterwards, but probably not till afterwards. okay. thank you. scott scott has been following the ins and outs of this case for years now. if you haven't already, follow him on twitter or x. he's always posting the latest in business and tech, his handle at scott budman all right, raj, up next, a potential game changer for your trips to the grocery store. the new state proposal that could drastically change the way
6:11 pm
stores operate self-checkout lanes. what stores will have to do if they want to keep those lanes open? plus, it is home to a treasure trove of historic items. but now a popular museum in the south bay could soon close down. the efforts underway to help save the san jose museum of quilts and textiles. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. after that cold and rainy weather, this weekend, we're dry tonight, heating up tomorrow, and there's also
6:12 pm
6:13 pm
our california sponsors say it will increase worker safety and limit retail theft, but opponents contend it won't accomplish either. here's nbc bay area's ian cull with how it could change your shopping experience. reporter the self checkout lanes at grocery and retail drug stores would look a little different. senate bill 1446 allows those stores to continue offering self checkout
6:14 pm
if all these conditions are met. checkouts. are limited to ten items or less. at least one staff checkout lane is available. customers are prohibited from purchasing certain products that require an id, like alcohol and tobacco, but also items behind locked cabinets, and one employee can only monitor up to two self-service service stations. supporters say it would reduce retail theft and make working conditions safer. this act will protect workers and the public by ensuring safe staffing levels at grocery and drug stores and regulating self-checkout machines in a way that's being smart. on crime reporter leticia costa manages multiple self checkouts at a lucky's in pinole. i have also observed customers who just walk through the self checkout area when there's no workers, and they walk out with their items. costa joined the state senator for a virtual press conference this morning. she says in february,
6:15 pm
she saw three women stealing items, so she called 911. but then they turned around and attacked her. and because of this incident, i am terrified to report any incidents of theft. the proposed law would also require employees monitoring self checkout to be solely focused on that task, and not be asked to do anything else. the california retailers association is not on board. its ceo says the bill doesn't do enough to protect employees and customers, instead said, we're supporting a package of bills that really is a comprehensive approach to address the issue of retail theft. it includes going after and providing consequences to serial shoplifters. it goes after boosters who are selling stolen goods. san jose shoppers, we talked to like the idea of tweaking self-check aisles. it's good because it's going to protect target and employees and also the people. i myself think it's a great idea because sometimes i just want to go in and out. and when people have more than ten items, it just
6:16 pm
makes it that much longer. sb 1446 is now in the appropriations committee in sacramento before it can head to the senate floor. ian cull nbc, bay area news. a south bay museum has helped preserve a key part of american history, but the museum is now on its last leg. for almost 50 years, the san jose museum of textile and quilts has been showing how quilts are more than just decoration. some of its exhibits date back to 1840. many of the quilts were made by pioneer women to provide comfort and warmth. eventually the quilts became a form of expression. now the museum is running out of money and could close in a matter of weeks. despite all this, though, supporters point out the museum has gotten national and even international recognition because that's such an important part of our history, our american history. but even our local history and the history of immigrants coming in. i mean, this is one of the most diverse areas in the country, and we want to reflect that and what we're offering
6:17 pm
here. and if it goes away, people won't understand the void or what's lost until it's gone. absolutely and that's often the case. it's like it's gone. and people like realize, oh my gosh, that was such a cultural institution. why did we let it go? we got to do some crowdfunding here. anyone interested in helping out can visit our website nbcbayarea.com and we'll link you to more information. go to take a live look outside now live. look at downtown san jose. it's looking pretty clear they're not sure if you'll need a quilt. i know it's a little windy though, right? yeah, winds going to be kicking up this week and it is going to be getting hotter. so shorts right. everyone's excited about that. shorts t shirts maybe even the flip flops is going to be that kind of weather not only coming in for this week, but even for the weekend ahead. things are shaping up good for us. let me show you more details. and that microclimate forecast and what we're looking at right now is this area of high pressure that took the storm track and has moved it way off to the north after that unusual and strong storm this past saturday, dropped a lot of
6:18 pm
rainfall anywhere from a half to three quarters of an inch on average through the bay area. sierra snow of 1 to 2ft. so that storm track with all of that is moving to the north. high pressure is going to allow some heat to build in the other thing we're going to see, though, is this system. try to get close here, this low pressure, and that's what's going to really kind of kick up some of the wind in the mountains. again, we're not expecting any rain from this, but the wind will be picking up. i have more details on the wind in about one minute, but let's show you tomorrow morning's forecast. chance of a little bit of patchy fog through some of our inland valleys of the east bay and the south bay that clear out quickly. and we're looking at a lot of sunshine here. as we head through your tuesday forecast. so morning temperatures will be back down again. chilly. we're in the 40s for much of us here. 49 through the south bay over to the north bay. have you at 45 san francisco, the one spot in the low 50s. and for the east bay 47 temperatures through tomorrow, warming up 3 to 6 degrees. so look at this down here across the south bay. 74 in cupertino, 75 in gilroy, across
6:19 pm
the east bay. some of the warmest weather right back out here towards concord and antioch at 76, vallejo 73. hayward 71. the peninsula. it's a mix. cold ocean breeze has low 60s daily seated half moon bay, then redwood city 71, san francisco 67. in the mission and the north bay 75, here in napa and 72 up to ukiah. so we're on this warmer weather right now. but the other thing we're going to be looking at is the wind kicking up. now, the primary focus of this wind will be the north bay mountains starting on wednesday morning, 20 to 40mph up in the mountains. we'd likely see some on and off gusts into thursday morning, and then any kind of wind would calm down here as we head through thursday evening. so we'll continue to watch that. if you're doing any traveling or have friends or family here in the central u.s, especially wichita to oklahoma city, a high risk of large tornadoes tonight that could produce winds up to 165mph. large hail and strong winds. so
6:20 pm
real severe weather we're looking out for in the central u.s. tomorrow that moves to the midwest around columbus, ohio. if you're headed that way or have any kind of connection flights on my 7-day forecast. look at that warmth coming in san francisco in the 70s. warmest stretch we've seen all year long. inland valleys 82 on wednesday. i know 89 on saturday. that is the payback. after this past weekend, i'm all for it. you missed audrey off camera clapping. oh, i like it. she did a skit. she did like a golf club. i did, hopefully happy about this. i think a lot of folks at home are probably doing the same thing too. they're like, yes. joining audrey. yeah, thanks, jeff. up next, this year's inductees into the bay area sports hall of fame. also, miss usa is relinquishing her crown. the reason behind the surprise announcement

underlying cause of some forms of the devastating disease. for the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form of late in life alzheimer's disease . it happens in people who have two copies of one specific gene. they say the genetic mutation is likely the cause of about 15% of alzheimer's cases, and is most commonly found in people whose parents also had the disease. scientists say the research is a critical first step in developing drug therapies that target this specific gene. all right. for generations, we've had legendary athletes and leaders here in the bay area. tonight, five more examples. als the bay area sports hall of fame is inducting its latest batch. a very humbled and flattered by my induction because, you know, hall of fame's are basically for great players and i'm certainly not going into that category, but i, i appreciate the recognition. i have a lot of pride in sports in the bay area.
