guidelines for breast cancer screenings. the us preventative services task force now suggests women, even at just average risk for breast cancer, should start screening at a younger age, and it recommends a mammogram every other year starting at age 40. fox medical team's doctor mike, joining us now with more on these new guidelines. good morning doctor mike. previous guidance guidance was screening starting at 50. so what prompted this new recommendation? >> well, pam, in a very disturbing way, we're seeing more and more cancer in younger people. that's not just breast cancer, but colon cancer. and the united states preventive services task force basically looks at all of the data that exists and comes up with a gradation of recommendations. and they say, now we should
5:23 am
start screening at age 40. and that parallels with some other cancer organizations saying, look, we should be starting at age 40 now, i welcome that. and they said that that should go up to age 70 for now. this has created a little bit of a fire storm in terms of experts who deal with breast cancer. in terms of the following, why stop at 74? so, pam, if you are 74, you're healthy. you're going to live for another 1020 years. why stop? that's one issue. secondly, the issue of doing it every other year, a kind of goes against my personal beliefs that you want to catch breast cancer early. you want to deal with it. and so why not? every every year? and then finally, the, the one of the things they didn't address, pam, was breast density. and i have found not
5:24 am
five but six breast cancers in women that had normal mammograms, that had dense breasts. i went on to do an mri and found the cancer, they didn't really get into that with these recommendations. >> boy. very scary, good information to have though. we're also usually hearing about additional screening or like you said, you did it, an additional screening or testing for maybe those with a higher risk. but this new guidance is for those with an average risk. so does that mean the risk factors have changed as well? >> well, no. what they're saying just average risk. people if you have a history of a brca positive gene, you have a family history. you have, gotten radiation to the chest, that's not on on this. this is not what they're talking about. they're talking about the average rank and file for, non-high risk. individual starting screening at

age 40. there are some subgroups, some minorities that have a higher death rate from breast cancer. again, that has stirred some people to say why every other year this is the first time this came out. this came out, once before with the obama when president obama was president, i'm a believer that knowledge is power. and i've been practicing and i still do full time for 30 years. and knowledge is power. the concerns are, well, what if you get a false positive? what if you find something that doesn't need to be found? well, that's why you have people like me guiding you through the shark infested waters of health care. that's why we all need a health care provider, a primary care provider, gynecologist to help you get through this. oh it's a good reminder. >> and i'm glad you mentioned the every other year. i mean, the every year being really
5:26 am
what's recommended most doctors i've heard my own personal doctor said, yeah, they say every other year, but every year really to be safe, doctor mike, thank you so much for that information. >> thank you pam, thanks for having me. >> all right. time now. 525, a nonprofit that runs a san francisco homeless shelter accused of fraud. the allegations that have forced operations to be paused and a baker at a local donut shop still trying to recover after being hit by a car on his way to work. how his coworkers are still helping him after spending weeks in the hospital, you can have the morning headlines delivered right to you by signing up for the ktvu newsletter, just head to [street noise] [car door shuts]

5:31 am
least i hope so, but you never know. all right. good morning, everyone. let's go out and take a look at the commute here. and you can see that traffic is going to be okay if you are driving to the bay bridge toll plaza, it's, going to be all right here if you're driving on interstate 880, san mateo bridge, you can see that traffic is moving along very nicely, and not bad here. and if you are driving on southbound 680, we already do have some slow traffic there on 680 through pleasanton, so get out on the road. this commute is going to go on with or without you, so you might as well get out there. 531 let's go back to the desk. okay sal. >> thank you. well, the san francisco mayor's office says fewer people are living on streets these days. and the mayor's office shared the results of the latest count of tents and homeless encampments. ktvu is ali rasmus is in san francisco. and you have more details. good morning ali.
5:32 am
>> good morning dave. yeah, we're right outside san francisco city hall in front of bill graham civic auditorium, where up until just about a half an hour ago, we could see about a dozen or so people laying in sleeping bags, not necessarily tents, but people curled up in blankets, laying up against the building, spending the night here. there is one person with a tent out here, but other than that, not too many tents. however, we have seen quite a few people living on the street out here in this area. now, about 20 minutes ago, that's when we saw a department of public works trucks. all the trucks you see here pull up along with san francisco police. and they told the people who were sleeping here overnight that they had to get up and clear out and the they could only take what they could carry. we saw a lot of people with suitcases and bags and kind of shuffling off and moving on as the crews out here clean up. we talked to a couple of the people who live out here, and they say, this is the routine. every morning they sleep out on the street and then in the morning,
5:33 am
if they are near civic center or near san francisco city hall, department of public works crews and police move them out. san francisco's department of homelessness says in its latest count of unhoused people. last month, there were fewer tents on city streets. it counted 360 tents and structures, down from the 609 that were on city streets in july of last year. so the city says that's a 41% drop. the mayor's office says the decline, they believe, is because of their outreach efforts over the past year and additional shelter beds as well as the city's ability to clear tents and structures off the street. earlier this year, the ninth circuit court of appeals said san francisco could enforce the city's laws against lying and camping out in public areas if they offered the people they encounter a shelter bed. but this morning, as we've been out here, there aren't many tents, but there are still plenty of people walking around overnight and again, talking to some of
5:34 am
the people out here, they said this is just they were skeptical about more shelter beds being made available. they said that this is just the routine here. every morning. there's maybe fewer people sleeping with tents, but there's still plenty of people out living on san francisco city streets live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you ali, this morning, president biden will deliver an address on anti-semitism at the holocaust memorial ceremony at the us capitol. it comes as college campuses across the country have been hit by pro-palestinian protests. some jewish students have complained that they felt targeted by the protests. >> president understands how important this moment is and i would say this is a president that tends to meet the moment when it comes to speeches and remarks like these. >> the white house says president biden will talk about the october 7th attack on israel that led to the deadliest day for jewish people since the holocaust. >> our time now. 534 in gaza, israeli tanks seized control of
5:35 am
the rafah border crossing. some new video shows israeli tanks rolling into rafah, with one tank driving into a square and rolling over a sign that reads i love gaza. that's after israel told thousands of palestinians there who took refuge in rafah to leave. now hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal, but israel refused to sign on to it, saying it failed to meet its core demands. >> it's clear that hamas is really interested in putting an end to the fighting. the question, of course, is will israel go along? the big sticking point has been that hamas has been pushing for a permanent cease fire in return for the hostages, whereas israel has only been wanting a temporary pause. >> now in tel aviv, protesters marched in the streets demanding the israeli government accept the cease fire deal in order to free the hostages. >> uc davis is the latest northern california college to
5:36 am
see a pro-palestinian encampment on campus. more than two dozen tents have been set up across a large grassy area. the protesters are calling for a complete divestment from israel, and has given the university a list of demands. >> we have a host of academic demands to increase speech around this. we want more teaching, more work that the university should be doing, taught by subject matter experts . >> uc davis chancellor gary may released a statement saying in part, as a public university, uc davis cannot and will not discipline students for speech protected by the first amendment. we allow peaceful protests and are committed to keeping everyone safe. we're reviewing the demands we've seen posted and are working on responding our time now. >> 536 student protesters at san francisco state sat down with university president lynn mahoney on the campus, calling for the university to stand against the violence in gaza. now, the meeting yesterday afternoon lasted more than an hour, and the students asked the university president to declare
5:37 am
the israeli occupation a genocide and also divest from companies that give military aid to israel. the university president says she's focused on protecting free speech on the campus. >> my role is actually to make it safe, and i don't just mean physically. i kind of mean culturally, politically and socially. for every group on this campus to if it can't play out on a university campus, then the us is doomed. >> i do hope other universities are seeing the leadership that has been performed here today. >> now, another meeting in the future is planned by the protesters and the university president. they plan to work with sf state's investment team to create a model for investment, transparency and investment policies for the latest developments on the war in gaza and the protests across the country, you can head to our website, ktvu .com. time is now 537. in other news, more than $50,000 was raised at a fundraiser for a san francisco

6:02 am
commute, but maybe sal can help me. that's not bad, steve. >> thank you sir. all right. good morning everyone. let's go to the richmond bridge. you can see traffic is moving along. okay. via our rich via our triple a traffic camera. there are no major problems there. traffic is moving along okay, across the bridge and into marin county. we've also been looking at some of the other east bay commutes here and most of them are okay. i have seen some slow traffic on 880 south and on westbound 580, but i haven't seen a huge backup on any of these commutes. i do want to mention that if you're going to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see some slow traffic already at the toll plaza stretching out beyond the 880 overcrossing. 602 let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal san francisco police are still searching for a man blamed for a disturbing incident on a muni bus. >> there was chaos on that bus after a man pulled out a taser and started yelling, antifa asian slurs. ktvu is andre senior in the studio with us
6:03 am
now. you have all the latest details. andre. >> dave. pam. good morning to you. here's what we know now. safety is top of mind for muni riders after a passenger threatened others with a taser last week, witnesses say the unruly rider was sitting in the back of the bus when he went on an anti-asian rant. now bystanders stood by in shock. some even stood in fear, afraid that any attempts to de-escalate the situation may trigger or offend this person. eventually, two young women stepped in to try and stop him. despite their brave efforts, they weren't able to calm things down. we spoke to a teenager who described the moment when the situation went from bad to worse at one point, he, he pulled out a taser and turned it on and pointed it at her and the electricity. >> when he turned it on, it was really loud and it caused like a lot of people to scream and run out. the run out of the bus. >> the bus driver pulled over,
6:04 am
allowing all the passengers to run off the bus. police arrived, but they say they were not able to find the suspect who caused all this chaos. the mother of the student we spoke to says they're speaking out about the incident to try and raise awareness and protect other bus riders, as i think it's the only way that we can help prevent it for someone else. >> i mean, right now the suspect is still at large. >> they should, have him arrested and he shouldn't just be roaming around freely. >> no one was hurt here, but the incident has led to some to renew calls for the city to do more to protect public transit riders. now, police still have not found the suspect. muni says it does not have. it does have surveillance video of the incident and has turned it over to police. so we'll keep you updated on what happens next. pam. >> all right. thank you. andre four murder suspects have agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges after it was revealed that they were arrested by antioch police officers involved in the department's racist text scandal. now, they were all charged in a killing in march
6:05 am
2021. however, attorneys say all 12 officers involved in the case were also part of the racist, homophobic and threatening text message chains. the district attorney's office admitted racial bias was involved in the case. the suspects faced a possible sentence of 25 years to life in prison. they will now spend anywhere from 13 to 20 years behind bars and will be sentenced later this week. >> our time now 604 happening today. the berkeley city council will consider funding a new position aimed at reducing the number of injuries and deaths on city streets. now, that position would be a program manager working out of the berkeley fire department, who would be responsible for developing a street trauma prevention program. it would include taking action to keep emergency response times down, as well as making streets safer. the city's safety commission says crashes with injuries to drivers, cyclists or pedestrians occur nearly twice a day on berkeley streets.
6:06 am
>> some state lawmakers want to give local governments more control over autonomous vehicles in california. that decision comes as waymo, the autonomous car company, announced plans to expand from the peninsula to sunnyvale. the bill has already advanced through two committees after being introduced earlier this year, but some residents in san mateo county say they're skeptical of how well the self-driving cars will operate on their streets. >> i just don't know if i trust the self-driving technology yet. like i'm sure there's something there. but in practice, i don't know. it's a little scary. >> it should be on the company for their autonomous vehicle violating some sort of traffic law, but instead. oh it's fine. we don't get in trouble. we don't get a ticket because no one's driving it. >> the bill has passed several committees in the senate. it still needs a vote in the full senate and the assembly before heading to the governor. >> our time now. 606. during a special hearing at the state capitol, lawmakers demanded
6:07 am
answers from housing and homelessness officials, both democrats and republicans want to know if california's multi-billion dollar homelessness, housing and assistance grant program for cities and counties has actually been working. the hearing comes less than a month after a state audit found that the newsom administration did not track the effectiveness of the $20 billion spent on california's growing homelessness problem. >> one of the things that i worry about a lot is that the public is losing confidence in the ability of government to solve this problem. >> you guys aren't even providing excuses. it's just a failure. >> now, sometime this month, governor newsom is expected to provide his updated state spending plan. >> san francisco city leaders say they have counted fewer tents on city streets. a report at the end of april counted 360 tents and structures across the city. that's the lowest number in more than five years. when the city started doing that regular tent count, ktvu allie

6:09 am
lamar hunt us open cup. that's a nationwide tournament open to soccer clubs at all levels. so in that format you will see matchups between major league soccer teams and amateur, semi-pro and lower level professional teams like the oakland roots and this edition of the tournament, 96 teams started to play. you could call it a case of david versus goliath. both teams are coming in with not great starts to the season, but a bit of momentum off the weekend and some great signings. let's first talk about the visitors, the roots. they're sitting in 10th place in the western conference of the usl. they mostly rested their starters over the weekend and they came up big with a draw against san antonio, one of the best teams in their league. last week they dropped their head coach, but they just added a big name and a guy named dom dwyer, he's a former u.s. international striker and mls star. he is clear to play today and very well could make his debut tonight. >> i think the goal is, is, you know, to obviously gain success
6:10 am
within the club. you know, that comes from the all the way from the bottom to all the way to the top, you know. so to build success and to build a championship team, it takes takes time. it takes work and it takes it takes a lot of growth. so i'm here and i have a very good opportunity to be a part of this club. and i'm very honored to be here. >> san jose earthquakes debuting a major signing of their own hernan lopez. he's a young 23 year old midfielder from argentina with roots in royalty. his great uncle is the late, great diego maradona. he broke the quakes record for the most expensive transfer signing, and the team hopes that he could be the key to turning their season around as they sit at the bottom of the mls western conference table. with just two wins under their belt. he did play over the weekend against lafc, and head coach luchi gonzalez says he is not taking this game lightly. >> we're going to be, mindful of a few things. we're going to put the team that we know is going
6:11 am
to be the best in this moment. on tuesday to represent us at a high level, because this is a game we take personal. it's a local derby. yeah. you know, it's a local type of rivalry. and we're super excited for the opportunity to play. >> san jose earthquakes bringing on a little bit of momentum of their own. they defeated lafc 3 to 1 over the weekend at levi's stadium. a huge crowd, one of the largest crowds that isn't a miami. game or a season opener that the mls has seen so far this season. so lots to watch out for tonight. kick off here at paypal park will be 7:00. we're live this morning in san jose. i'm james torres ktvu fox two news. >> all right james and you're still my favorite player. all right. time is now 611. well, this afternoon the oakland a's will host bruce bochy and his texas rangers. the world series champs. last night, the a's lost to the rangers 4 to 2. but maybe the bigger story happened in the stands, not down on the field. the a's played in front of the
6:12 am
smallest crowd at the coliseum so far this season. 2895 fans as the rangers hit a three run homer in the eighth inning in a come from behind victory. meantime, the giants hope that being in the high altitude in denver today will give them a boost to their offense. the giants lost to the phillies 6 to 1. they were swept in a four game series. they've also lost six out of seven games. zack wheeler, a former giants first round draft pick, came back and haunted the giants by striking out 11 hitters and allowed only one, an unearned run. >> all right, 611 is the time. back over to sal, checking in on the morning commute on this tuesday. sal. >> all right. yeah. good morning, pam and dave. we do have traffic that's going to be busy. now let's go right to our triple a traffic camera. and you can see traffic is backed up to the maze. metering lights are on. and it's a typical delay. we've also been looking at the
6:13 am
east bay commute. southbound 680 is slow out of pleasanton and 880 looks pretty good. there's some police activity. 580 near regatta. as a result of a chase that happened, a little while ago, the person who was involved got out of the car and ran away into that neighborhood. richmond police and chp are there. it's not causing a big traffic jam. 80 westbound. as you drive out west a little slower in san pablo, but for the most part, it is not a terrible commute. 612 let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you sal. the scramble to raise funds to help a coworker who was hit by a car in san francisco. how the show of support is helping the mother of the victim be by his side. >> and a real estate battle in san jose is brewing. we'll tell you why the cta may be heading to court in order to start building that big bart expansion project

6:17 am
visit him. his coworkers at bob's donuts were able to bring his mother here on a humanitarian visa. they say jesus worked seven days a week, constantly sending money back to his family in mexico. >> i cried, you know. it was like i felt so bad, you know, because i really known him as a family. we work here all together. we just like a family. >> now, the driver who allegedly hit jesus has been cooperating with the police. investigators say alcohol or drugs don't appear to have been a factor in the crash. >> a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in stockton is now under arrest. following an hours long search in antioch, police told people in the area of gentry town drive yesterday afternoon to lock their doors and windows. as officers looked for the suspect. he was taken into custody just before 6:00 last night. a santa clara county jury will have to
6:18 am
determine the market value of a piece of property that's needed for a future bart station in downtown san jose. that's after an attempt at mediation failed between the owner of the property and the santa clara valley transportation authority. now, a vta appraiser says the property is worth nearly $9 million. the property owner's appraiser says it's worth $17 million. now the case will be sent to a jury. >> time now 617. we're looking at a bigger back-up here at the bay bridge. it is backed up and you can see it from our triple a traffic camera westbound bay bridge backed up from the maze. metering lights are on. no major problems there. if you are driving on the san mateo bridge you can see traffic is busier, although there's not a lot of stop and go traffic. we've been monitoring 680 and 880 heading south. not all that slow, which it's much better than it was yesterday at this time. and 580 is looking good. there is a police search going on in a
6:19 am
neighborhood in richmond just off the regatta exit. so that's a good area to avoid for now. 618 let's go back to steve now. is it going to be a beautiful day steve. >> it's going to be a beautiful day. that is correct sal. thank you sir. all right a few 30s. but you have to go north. mendocino county lake county mainly 40s here. so we're not as cold as yesterday morning, but still there's a little bit of a breeze or so. a chill truckee, 27, south lake tahoe 34. mammoth 42. why such a discrepancy? because truckee is calm. south lake tahoe has a little south breeze and mammoth has a northwest breeze, so that'll do it every time. high pressure is getting ready to build in, but it will be after today, and then we'll get a northeast breeze dry pattern this week. although i do think rain returns around the 21st, but it just depends on where the low back tracks and sets up. we could have some. i've seen forecast highs between 82 and 90 on on thursday, so we'll ease into this. it will get warmer. we'll start to bump up. there's no rain this week. now maybe early next week something might pop up in the
6:20 am
mountains, but we'll deal with that as we get closer to it. but for this week, after today, it's all about sunshine and warmer temps. a lot of low clouds, mainly south of san francisco, oakland. today they'll burn off 60s 70s on the temps. if you want warmer weather, it's right around the corner as in wednesday, thursday, friday. >> all right. thank you steve. one of california's largest home insurers is raising rates for hundreds of thousands of policyholders. the new price tag the homeowners will have to pay, and a local fire department welcomes some new recruits. how soon these new paramedics will join the response team to serve people living and working in so ma.

breast cancer screening at a younger age. the us preventative services task force recommends women, even at just average risk for breast cancer, should start screening at age 40 instead of 50 earlier this month. we spoke earlier this morning that is, we spoke with doctor mike of fox medical team to talk about what prompted these new guidelines. he also discussed the debate over annual versus screenings every other year. >> the concerns are, well, what if you get a false positive? what if you find something that doesn't need to be found? well, that's why you have people like me guiding you through the shark infested waters of health care. that's why we all need a health care provider, a primary care provider, gynecologist to help you get through this. >> while the organization suggests getting a breast cancer screening every other year from age 40 to 74, some health experts say women should

6:32 am
are driving on 80 westbound through richmond, we have some slow traffic here coming out, you can see traffic is moving along very well, search coming on near the freeway in richmond, near regatta boulevard. as police still haven't found what they're looking for there. so you should avoid the area if you can. if you are driving to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up all the way out to the maze and the metering lights are on. that's a kind of typical, but it is a little slower today. it is tuesday after all, so it is backed up just a little more than it was yesterday, say 631. let's go back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. san francisco city leaders have released new numbers on the tents and structures on city streets. >> yeah. the mayor's office says their latest count shows there are fewer tents and homeless encampments in san francisco. ktvu is ali rasmus is in san francisco. you're more on this. good morning. ali >> good morning, dave and pam. we're outside san francisco city hall where you can see behind us
6:33 am
there is a group of people, sleeping and laying in the street. there's no tents here, but there's still plenty of people on san francisco city streets, even so, the city's department of homelessness says that, according to their latest count, the number of homeless tents and encampments has declined. and according to their account that they last did in april. they said it counted about 360 tents and structures throughout the city, down from the 609 that were counted in july of last year. a 41% drop. now, the mayor's office says the decline is because of their outreach efforts and additional shelter beds, as well as the city's new ability to clear tents and structures off the street. earlier this year, the ninth circuit court of appeals said san francisco could enforce the city's laws against lying and camping out in public areas if the people they encountered were offered a shelter bed. but this morning, while we've been out here again, we don't see many tents. there's still plenty of people that were walking
6:34 am
around. in fact, overnight outside, civic auditorium, we spoke to a man who says he's been living on the streets for the last three years here in san francisco. he had a tent, but in the morning, just before 5:00, department of public works crews and police came and told him and everyone who was sleeping and camping out there overnight, that they had to pack up their stuff and leave. so some of the people we've been talking to who live, who are unhoused and lived on the streets say while the tents may be gone, they're still living on the streets. and a lot of people are. and so they don't see this as really solving the problem. but we're reaching out to the city and also some people who work with the homeless here in san francisco to get some more context and perspectives on this report. live in san francisco, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali, thank you. our time is 634 this morning. president biden will deliver an address on anti-semitism. it will be at the holocaust memorial ceremony at the us capitol. and it comes as college

6:36 am
reviewing the demands and we've we've seen, posted and are working on responding. >> our time now. 6.35 student protesters at san francisco state sat down with university president lynn mahoney on the campus, calling for the university to stand against the violence in gaza. they spoke for more than an hour yesterday afternoon. the students asked the president to declare the israeli occupation a genocide and divest from companies that provide military aid to israel. the university president said she's focused on protecting free speech on campus. >> goal is actually to make it safe. and i don't just mean physically. i kind of mean culturally, politically and socially. for every group on this campus to if it can't play out on a university campus, then the us is doomed. >> i do hope other universities are seeing the leadership that has been performed here today. >> now the protesters and the university president will be meeting again in the future.

trying to solve california's housing shortage by helping people build small housing units on their property. adu marin works with officials in several cities to provide information about developing those in-law units and granny flats. the units can help homeowners build their income and meet state requirements for housing development. the nonprofit organization is already launched a website with several webinars. those webinars and tell homeowners about the housing rules in each community. >> adus are a lot easier to build than they were five years ago. much, much easier to build than they were five years ago. but you're still building a second house in california, often in areas where there's wui or flood plain or slope issues. so it's not a simple project. it's a it's a viable project, but not a simple project. >> and since that website launched, almost 50 residents have asked for consultations
6:39 am
with the nonprofit organization to get more information on how to build adus. >> time 638 and we have a bigger backup at the bay bridge right now. bigger than yesterday. let's go right to our triple a traffic camera and show you that the toll plaza here is going to be a little bit slow coming into san francisco along the bridge. really san mateo bridge traffic is okay and no major problems on 80 or on the richmond bridge approach. you can see that traffic is moving along okay this morning. it's not bad, but it is not great either. this typical for the morning commute southbound 680 is improving here on southbound 680 out of pleasanton. we had some late running roadwork in that area through the construction zone, but things are getting better now. at 639, let's talk about today's weather. and here's steve. >> all right. thank you sir. we'll appreciate that trying i
