the first college of ethnic studies, but they had to be forced into it. they brought the bloody state police out. they were pounding people. they had horses chasing people down. these demonstrators posted a list of their demands on one of the tents. since sfsu has lots of commuters, organizers say they understood some students may not be able to join, but asked students to show support by visiting the camp during the day. with occupation in san francisco. sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. in the north bay, students are also joining the call to end violence in gaza. on friday, pro-palestinian demonstrators pitched dozens of tents at sonoma state university. the encampment grew over the weekend. protesters wrote their demands on signs put them in front of their tents. in a statement, the school's president says the protests have been peaceful and he also says police do not feel it's necessary to take action. right now. this is all happening as leaders from the middle east converge on egypt, searching for a way to bring home hamas held

to travel in europe, and it would put him in the same category as russian president vladimir putin, who faces an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in ukraine. a u.s. state department spokesman said today there is no moral equivalency between the two. in washington, alice barr, nbc news. at stanford university, tensions between students and university officials are on the rise. the student encampment there entering its second week today. coming up at six, the options the university is considering and how it will impact the protesters. in other news, the family killed in a tragic crash in pleasanton has been officially identified by the coroner's office. they were driving on foothill road near stone ridge wednesday night when their electric vehicle hit a curb, crashed into a tree and burst into flames. investigators believe speed may have been a factor today, the alameda county coroner's office confirms 41 year old tarun george, his son's 13 year-old rowan and nine

at its current site on fourth street for the past 60, but now changes are coming. today we're announcing a reset and sort of a makeover for the salvation army campus. today, leaders from santa clara county, san jose and the nonprofit world unveiled plans to help the salvation army expand into housing more homeless. essentially, the emmanuel house is an 88 bed sober living environment that will be expanded to 112 and sending the overall available beds to over 300 and nonprofit advocates praised the ambitious, upgraded facilities, saying it's not true that the homeless prefer the streets. they prefer the streets to what they're being offered. they don't want to be in a bunk bed in a group shelter. dignitas is proud to offer private rooms. if somebody has recently made the step to try to get sober, they don't want to share shelter with somebody who's shooting up at two in the morning. the salvation army says no one will be turned away, but if they're under the influence, know if they have the troubles? absolutely, yes. if they have

the problems. what our staff does, though, is make sure they get to a safe place. the agencies will build temporary housing on a grass lot to accommodate those who will be displaced during the transformation. then those units will be turned into permanent housing, about a ten year project. but mayor matt mahan and council member omar torres say the city has been meeting with neighborhood groups to keep them in the loop. but supervisor cindy chavez says for the first time, salvation army services will be available to the spiking number of unhoused women with children. this spike, we're not just seeing it on the streets, but all of our school districts have seen an increase in the number of children that are being designated as homeless. in fact, salvation army acknowledges it actually has a no women policy, which will officially end when the groundbreaking starts. at this site, probably sometime in the fall in san jose. robert honda, nbc, bay area news. thank you robert. well, the twitter sitter stays today. the supreme court

rejected an appeal from elon musk over a settlement with the securities and exchange commission. the case stems from messages musk posted on twitter in 2018, in which he claimed he had secured funding to take tesla private. but the tweets caused the company's share price to jump and led to a temporary halt in trading. the settlement requires musk to get approval from his attorney before he makes any posts on x about tesla. he filed a petition with the supreme court to undo that settlement in december, arguing it limited his free speech. well, speaking of tesla, shares jumped 15% today after the electric car maker passed a big milestone to roll out its driver assistance technology in china. full self-driving is an upgrade to tesla's autopilot driver assistant. tesla has offered the technology in china for years, but in a limited capacity. that's because chinese regulators questioned whether the company took the proper precautions to protect data. today, they removed those restrictions after tesla passed the country's data security

requirements. tesla's stock increase also made it a good day for the market. the dow went up about 4146 points today. the tech heavy nasdaq up 55, the s&p also up by about 16 points. amazon says it's getting more packages to customers in one day or sooner. today, the company announced close to 60% of all orders recently placed through prime in the biggest u.s. cities arrived the same day or next day. that number is up from roughly 50% during the same period last year. it comes as amazon will report its first quarter earnings tomorrow. the company says it plans to double the number of same day delivery facilities within the next few years. it's also facing heightened competition in online shopping and delivery from stores like walmart and target. still ahead, an afternoon basketball game takes a frightening turn after a player collapses on the court. the quick action that helped save a man's life and the tool that thankfully was on hand. plus, a lot of californians are making

the switch to electric vehicles, but not everyone. the reason? some are still holding on to their gas engines. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. great weather to start off the week, but we are looking at some wind increasing and also a late season storm. i'll show you the updated chances of some rainfall coming our way

the pair lost consciousness, wasn't breathing, and that's when two off duty nurses who were in the stands jumped into action. nbc bay area's jodi hernandez shows us what happened . it started as a friendly game of sunday hoops. just, you know, two teams going at it on the basketball court. but the all out sports league matchup in clayton took a scary turn when a player suddenly collapsed. when i seen him down, he did not look good. off duty kaiser nurse doreen thrash was watching the game when it happened, and she immediately ran onto the court to help all of a sudden he's not breathing. i feel no pulse and

we jumped right in and we started cpr. another off duty nurse from john muir began chest compressions as thrash began mouth to mouth, but it was the gym's portable defibrillator that may have ultimately saved his life, followed by now. shock delivered. there's a button you press. i press the button. it shocked him right away. and right away he woke up his eyes opened and he was breathing. it was nice to see the community rally around this man, and i was rooting for him. we were all rooting for him. no captured it all on video. he was there to document the game, but captured a miracle instead. i wanted to give these people recognition and show that, you know, there's still humanity out there and people still care. they are heroes. people can make a difference. we're a community that came together. we were all there at the right place, at the right time to save him. the player gave a thumbs up as he

was taken to the hospital by paramedics. he's expected to recover. i felt elated, i felt elated, and i says, what a blessing, what a blessing. yeah, i, i yeah, he is right. there's no words for it. i pray that he continues to heal and i pray nothing like that ever happens to him again in clayton. jodi hernandez nbc, bay area news. and what a blessing for the good samaritans. thank you, jodi. in other news, california and the bay area in particular is leading the country when it comes to buying electric cars. but the latest surveys still show a series of concerns that are keeping many people from making the switch. according to the latest figures from the governor's office, more than a quarter of all new cars sold last year in california were electric, and there is now one fast charging station for every five gas stations in the state. but the initial cost of a new ev is still keeping many people on the sidelines. so we looked into

buying a used ev, and with hertz recently putting thousands of their evs onto the market, prices are coming down and experts note many cash incentives are still available, whether your income qualified or not. every single californian in pge territory qualifies for a $1,000 rebate on a used ev, no matter which vehicle and no matter what your income is. the state survey also shows that most ev owners charge at home, and that's a problem for many apartment renters. but california recently approved a $1.9 billion plan to build out its charging network. rescuers are picking up the pieces after storms unleashed deadly tornadoes across the middle of the country. the storms hit on friday in the midwest and in texas. the tornadoes pummeled six different states, killing at least five people in iowa and oklahoma. twisters also destroyed dozens of homes and businesses. acceptance just playing in the next steps, i guess. you know, just trying to

put together what we can and move forward and texas people are struggling to get through flooded streets, thousands of people across texas, louisiana and oklahoma are still without power. and it looks i looked at the severe weather outlook really tough as we head through the next two days. i know nebraska, kansas, oklahoma. it's just going to kind of stall out and continue that chance of some severe weather for them. that's too bad. i know there's so much cleanup to still do. okay, let's talk about our weather. much more mild. we have a very nice and pleasant week ahead. yeah, it looks really great. as we head through tomorrow's forecast, we have some 70, eventually some 80. and then we're going to be tracking some wind and even the chance of some rain. yes late season rain coming up in my 7-day forecast. let's take you outside right now to that blue sky. and this just really helped us to get going on our monday. didn't it? you have so much to do this week, a lot to look ahead towards. and this just kind of really helped to take maybe the edge off a little bit with this beautiful california weather right now, 68

degrees, a little bit of breeze out of the north northwest at 18. we'll drop it down to 60 at 8:00 and some 50 later on tonight. now we're confident we'll continue with some dry weather tomorrow from this area of high pressure. it's going to keep the rain line right up towards the pacific northwest. but the way this is setting up, we do think we'll get some wind starting to come in here tomorrow and also for wednesday. and it will keep that warm weather in place. so let's go ahead and take a look at the wind here. i do want to get to that first and you'll see as we head through tomorrow morning it's ten to about 20mph. as we head through tomorrow afternoon and evening, we could see a little bit of wind starting to pop here near the coastal mountains and the north bay. anywhere from 20 to about 40mph. but we're really looking at some of the strongest gusts here. by wednesday morning, especially if you're doing traveling in the central valley, 50 plus miles per hour. and i really think on wednesday morning it would be the north bay focus here for some of the strongest gusts. 20 to 50 right there in napa would be about 30. and we'd stay with

some of these gusty winds on and off at times through wednesday afternoon. then i see that wind certainly calming down here as we head through thursday forecast. so a little bit of wind to get through here. but overall temperatures going to be pretty comfortable. i think we'll have some nice conditions here to get you out the door tomorrow morning. down in the 40s throughout the bay area. so a little bit of chill, but nothing we can't handle. 47 here for the south bay over to san francisco 49 and for the north bay right there at 45 under mostly sunny skies. look at these temperatures here in my forecast tomorrow right here across the south bay. plenty of low to mid 70s. that will put us at 73 in san jose, 75 in gilroy over to the east bay. up as warm as 77 in antioch 74 here in danville peninsula will get in on some 70s near palo alto. but really, once you head north of that and closer to the coast, that strong ocean breeze will keep us in the 50s and 60s. san francisco, 60 across the marina. and as we go across the north bay, lots of low to mid 70s. so we got a little bit of wind here

to deal with through tomorrow. but by this weekend i want to fast forward things into a system we're going to be tracking and this is complicated. i think really kind of the big headline from this is if the storm track moves just a little bit more to the south, we're going to see some much higher rainfall totals with it. if it goes more off to the north, we'll see less in the way of rain. so the way that i'm putting it right now here for california, we'll have spotty rain chances to maybe the chance of some heavier pockets and temperatures certainly much colder as we look ahead towards this upcoming weekend. i can show you that here on the 7-day forecast. by saturday, san francisco down to 58 with some rain chances. look at the inland valley forecast here from 81 wednesday, way down to 63 on saturday. so right now not wet all weekend and we're going to know more as we get closer. i'll have updates also on our reservoirs coming up tonight at 530 okay. looking forward to that. thank you jeff. you got it. still to come a scary flight
