been the leadership and the investment to recruit. if you don't invest in the recruitment budget, you can't go out and get officers. >> we have to send a message to this country and to the world that you do not come to san francisco to deal drugs, to do drugs or to sleep on our streets. >> at one point, daniel lurie called out former supervisor mark farrell when he was budget director for giving less funding to the police department than what then mayor ed lee had requested. >> but a mayor has to stand by and support our public safety and our first responders. >> mark, do you want to respond to that? >> absolutely. and i appreciate the question and the comments. and, daniel, this is where your inexperience shows you have not been part of the budget committee in city hall. you have not been mayor of the city of san francisco. there are competing priorities. every single day. >> before the debate, groups of supporters came out in front of

francisco's bayview neighborhood, where customers can fill up those carts without paying for anything. >> yeah, it is the first of its kind in the city meant to help low income families who live in a food desert. ktvu betty, you checked it out today. she joins us now here in studio with what it's like julie and mike. >> so this looked very much like

a scaled down market, but loaded with fresh food and nutritious food at that. now, different from a food pantry, people don't have to line up for prepackaged items. customers here were able to shop for what they wanted for free. more than 70 families loaded up their grocery carts at the district ten community market in the bayview wednesday, and they checked out without opening their wallets. lo conocemos. >> so she's saying that she likes being able to pick what she knows that her family is going to eat. >> speaking through an interpreter, prisciliano lopez shopped for her family of four. she says what she takes home today would probably cost her 200 to $300 at a grocery store, and last about two weeks. last i spoke with her husband. >> does work, she says. but the money it's barely enough to pay for the rent. and, you know, like stuff like soap. >> and we have chicken drumsticks. >> family size. the neighborhood lacks access to healthy foods,

which is why it was chosen for the pilot project. the san francisco human services agency partnered with bayview senior services to operate the market. most of the food is supplied by partner stores and agencies like the san francisco food bank and lucky bayview. >> i really hope people get that this is the way to give out food with dignity and that people have choice, and just because you're low income doesn't mean you just get anything. >> community members must meet certain criteria to shop here, including live in certain zip codes, receive public assistance, have children, and be referred by a community organization. >> this card like costco. so we ask, do you have your your district ten market card? >> shoppers must have a grocery card from one of the markets partnering nonprofits to enter. there are limits on quantities of food. two years ago, supervisor asha sapphire introduced the legislation to open such a market in high need neighborhoods. since then, the city has seen many stores like walgreens and cvs closed due to

rampant theft. the majority of the smash and grabs that we've seen have been over the counter drugs, over the counter medicine. >> if there's meat, you know, i think it's secured in a different way and they work with the folks. and if that's something that happened, you know, obviously, though, we'll put some additional resources into protecting it. >> safai went on to say it's the goodwill of the people in this community that is allowing it to be a safe space and operation. now right now, this market is open wednesdays and fridays. next month. the store hopes to increase that to three days a week, and it wants to double the number of customers it serves to at least 1000 by the end of the year. mike and julie, it's great to see those doors open, but saying that look, they can fill the carts, they don't have to pay. >> i'm curious how often can they actually get to go? >> well, right now they're saying once a month per customer, per household. that is, they hope as they scale up it can be two times a month and then hopefully more people that

really can use the help. >> all right, betty, thank you. the san mateo county board of supervisors has voted to allocate millions for new affordable housing. the board voted to use $40 million to fund housing for a number of marginalized groups, including farmworkers, unhoused people, low income seniors and families, former foster youth and individuals with developmental challenges. the vote comes just over a week after a massive fire in redwood city destroyed an affordable housing complex that was under construction. that project was meant to provide 179 units, a child care center, and community space. >> the city of oakland says it's repaved 200 miles of road in oakland, and more work is still to come. mayor shengtao announced this milestone in a video that she shared online today from 60th street, right near international. the mayor said this is part of the city's investment into east oakland transportation director josh rowan telling us the work also includes improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists, for example, high visibility crosswalks. >> we've we've installed 3000 of

those. we've we've installed 1500 ada ramps. we're we're looking at the bike infrastructure and how we can expand that network. all as part of the paving. >> rowan said that the city is paving at a much faster pace than it used to. from 2000 to 2018, the city had paved just 100 miles of streets, so we made it through the hottest day of the workweek. >> that was yesterday, and we prepare yourself for the coolest day of the week. that will be tomorrow. but meanwhile, smack in between today we had temperatures drop a good 15 degrees. in fact, livermore, down from 101 degrees experienced yesterday to 86 degrees today. i know you felt the difference. how about redwood city and redwood shores down from 93 to 80 degrees and san francisco dropped from 74 to 63. now here's the deal. right now we do have the influx of the area of low clouds and fog. the marine layer is pushing onshore temperatures are dropping accordingly into the 50s, except inland, where we still have

mainly clear skies into the low 60s throughout the tri valley and concord as well. so let's track that bank of cloudiness by tomorrow morning, set up at 547. we do have the clouds reaching inland a good 50 miles over that dublin grade, and to the north it tries to make it into the nicasio area. also, morgan hill to the south, and then by the afternoon hours we wipe away the clouds and we reveal some sunshine and breezy conditions. temperatures banking between 60 and 82 degrees. father's day the big changes you need to know about that's coming up next time around. >> all right roberta, thank you. coming up, the us keeping a very close eye on russian warships that just arrived not far from the southern coast of florida. >> also, president biden in italy tonight for the g7 summit. the agreement he is set to sign tomorrow. plus, yes. >> he didn't even recognize you. you're getting so big. >> a warm welcome tonight for a true american hero. the veteran who just landed in oakland

summit. the three day meeting is taking place in apulia. the group of seven includes france, canada, japan, the united kingdom, italy and germany. one major topic on the agenda growing allied support for ukraine in its war against russia. president biden and ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky are expected to sign a bilateral security agreement tomorrow. it is unclear what's included in that agreement, but the pentagon says it will not commit u.s. troops directly to ukraine's defense at the g7 summit. president biden will also be pushing for a cease fire proposal between israel and hamas. in tel aviv tonight, family members of hostages and other protesters demanded the israeli government accept a hostage release deal. demonstrators held signs that read human life has no price and deal now, as they rallied in the streets, secretary of state antony blinken said today officials will continue working on a deal after hamas proposed

changes to the recent version of the ceasefire proposal. >> while the u.s. is sending warships and aircraft to monitor a convoy of russian vessels ahead of military exercises in the caribbean early this morning, russian warships were seen entering the port of havana after sailing just 30 miles off the coast of florida. u.s. intelligence assesses there are no nuclear weapons on board these ships, but there is also a russian nuclear powered submarine. >> it's not a surprise. we've seen them do this, these type of port calls before. we of course take it seriously. but these exercises don't pose a threat to the united states. >> us officials expect the russian ships to remain in the region through the summer, and possibly also stop in venezuela. >> some big plans for oakland this pride month coming up. the new cultural district helping celebrate and support the lgbtq community. plus, if it goes from just the high school into

college and to colleges as well, that would be great. a cricket craze, the push to get the unique sport officially recognized at california high schools, and sometimes a tie feels like a win. >> the us men's national team shocks the soccer world with an impressive performance against powerhouse brazil. jason is up later with that story in sports. also the bay area's own joey chestnut will appear on your screen after all. today's announceme from netflix

♪ bmo ♪ to get cricket recognized as an official cif high school sport. this as the game experiences a boom in popularity following team usa's unprecedented upset over powerhouse pakistan last week, ktvu bailey o'carroll joins us now. she's live in cupertino tonight with more

bailey. >> hey, julie. good evening. yeah, this cricket has really been the talk of the sports world for the last week. thanks in part to that upset. but for years parents and kids here in the south bay have been quietly working to get the sport officially sanctioned by the cif . >> it's been growing and like every day new people come and they ask me, oh wait, what's what are you playing? how do i play? how do you play this? how do you hold the bat? and sometimes it's the teachers as well. >> cricket is the second most played sport on the planet, though less than a quarter of a million people play in the u.s. the country could just be cricket's next frontier. according to the california cricket association, hundreds of kids and their parents in the south bay want the sport to be recognized by the california interscholastic federation. the official governing body of high school sports in the state, as a way to grow the game, they and so many love. >> there is a break in the pathway when they go to high

school. that is really heartbreaking, right now. >> some students in the south bay are introduced to the game as part of their physical education classes in middle school, but once they reach high school, those opportunities vanish. >> high school brings its demands and you have to sacrifice something to get something and the fact that you don't get any credits playing cricket. he was heartbroken. not only him, a bunch of his friends at high school, they were all wondering, what do i do now? >> years after they started working to get the sport recognized, state assemblyman ash kalra joined the fight, officially drafting a resolution or official request that the cif recognize the sport. >> i'm hoping that we can get it done over the next couple of years, but obviously we'll have to work with the department of education. we'll have to work with the administration and legislative leadership because, you know, there will obviously be some costs involved in getting that up and going. >> and this could be the group's golden opportunity. the sport is booming. team usa is fresh off one of the biggest upsets in the

history of cricket. just last week, beating the pakistani national team in the world cup and for the first time in more than 120 years, the sport will be featured at the 2028 olympic games in los angeles. but even then, getting the sport recognized by the cif is no easy process. >> there's a lot of convincing that you have to do the main concern the group's been met with. >> i think it's all about us proving that there are enough players and there's enough momentum. >> question now is what exactly needs to happen for it to become recognized by the cif? well, they would have to introduce that at a meeting and then it would have to be voted on by cif representatives from all across the state. we can look to girls flag football, which was just passed last year, a recently for kind of an example. and it took them years to get that officially passed to officially be recognized as a cif sanctioned sport. so again, it could be years until we actually

see cricket be recognized. now we did reach out to the cif to see if they're aware of this request. they did not respond to that request for comment in cupertino. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, fun to learn about the cricket craze. bailey. thank you. well the oakland strokes rowing club is fresh off winning a national title at the rowing youth national championships in florida. the club sent 69 athletes and nine boats competing against 8000 other kids from more than 240 clubs across the country. the men's team won first place, marking the strokes 24th national title. the women's team also performed remarkably well, four boats finishing in 11th, seventh, sixth and fifth place. >> it takes a village like the coaching staff. we couldn't be able to do it without them and then parents, the board, just everyone's kind of coming together for this one big goal and it's really powerful to see how it unfolds. we really created like a family within our boat. we were all best friends.

>> more than 30 athletes from the organization will be going on to division one schools in the fall. >> this june is the inaugural pride month for oakland's new lgbtq cultural district. ktvu jana katsuyama takes us to the lakeshore neighborhood and reports about the community projects that are set to transform the area for pride celebrations. >> as joe hawkins walks down grand avenue in oakland, he has good reason to be full of pride. >> we're installing these banners now. the lgbtq cultural district, the city's lgbtq cultural district, was just formed in november. >> they'll be rainbow flat progressive rainbow flags intermixed in between on all the poles as well. the area between grand avenue and lakeshore avenue has become a haven for the east bay's lgbtq community and business owners. >> there are over 20 businesses in the multi-block district. >> we want to encourage more

people to come into this area and, and establish their business here. >> hawkins is ceo and co-founder of oakland's lgbtq community center. this past weekend, the annual rainbow fair was a celebration of the area's growth, and it was a sort of coming out party for our lgbtq cultural district. in just six years since the oakland lgbtq center opened on lakeshore avenue, it's expanded services to include a clinic and a town youth club center that serves about 500 youth. there is also a new office this is our conference room that where we can have, you know, meetings with our funders. >> our elders program has expanded our youth program has expanded, our mental health services, our emergency housing assistance, our clinic and sexual health services have expanded. >> now the community is fundraising for a flagpole and rainbow crosswalks. >> we want to do a crosswalk in

two places, one is right here where the grand lake theater is. >> i think it just lets other people know that this place is a safe space for people who are different, and it celebrates people. and so when you can see yourself anywhere, i think that's like the best thing in the world, that visibility is a point of pride for oakland lgbtq residents, who often have felt overshadowed by the city across the bay. >> it is especially black and brown communities. oftentimes, when we would go to san francisco, we would face racism from the white queer community over there. so for us, we literally made made oakland our home. >> the center is hoping to have their services expand to east oakland by this coming september, and they hope to have the flagpole and the crosswalks here at the lgbtq district in place by pride month next year. from oakland, jana katsuyama. ktvu, fox two news coming up at

11, a major step forward for the future of the oakland coliseum. >> tonight's vote that sells off the city's share of that site. >> it's hard to believe it's the last weekend of spring, and we have big time changes you need to know about. the bay area forecast is on deck, but first, a possible solution to california's insurance crisis is the reform efforts announced by the state that could result in more

at high risk of wildfires. officials say in many places, coverage under the state's fair plan is the only option, rather than being the last resort that was intended under the draft regulation, large companies will be required to insure properties

in those areas equal to 85% of their market share. smaller companies will have to increase policies by 5. governor newsom said in a statement. quote, this is another critical action to help fix california's decades old insurance crisis. it will help homeowners who face higher threats of wildfire get the coverage they need, while also easing pressure off the state's fair plan. >> the federal reserve signaled it expects to cut rates this year, but only once. this morning, the government reported that consumer inflation eased last month, more than most economists had expected. fed chair jerome powell said inflation has fallen further toward their 2% target level in recent months, and in doing so expressed some optimism about where the economy is headed and the financial markets took encouragement from that policy statement on wall street, both the nasdaq and the s&p hit all time highs. the nasdaq was up more than 265 points, or 1.5. the s&p gained 45 points and the dow was slightly in negative

territory. >> public health experts say a new covid variant has taken over as the most dominant strain of the virus spreading across the country. it is called kp point three and it's part of a new class of subvariants known as flirt, that we've been telling you about. cdc data shows kp 0.3 accounts for roughly a quarter of all covid cases here in the u.s. today, at four, ucsf doctor peter chin-hong told us it's also causing some different symptoms than previous strains. >> apart from the sore throat, the headache, the fever, the cough, the muscle pains, there's also diarrhea and nausea and vomiting. so that might also signify covid. >> doctor chin-hong said the current vaccines are doing a good job preventing severe illness as the new variants take hold. california's most recent test positivity rate stands at 5.3. that's up from 2.2% a month ago. >> election integrity that is

the goal behind a new bill following a historic recount in silicon valley. >> also ahead, a therapist accused of sexually assaulting a girl with special needs in the south bay. how police were able to catch the suspect, and a little bit cooler out there in some cities today, as we give you this live look out at the golden gate bridge, where the fog s ear today, it's time to get away and cash in at cache creek casino resort. to rock and to roll. to go all out or go all in with four stars and rising stars. northern california's premier casino resort is the perfect place to do as much... or as little as you want. make your getaway now and cache in at cache creek casino resort.
