it's going to get any better. >> we believe that part of the reason why it's here is because it's allowed. the city allows it to happen. plus, protests shutting down a northern california university for the rest of the semester. the response from school officials as the nationwide movement gains momentum. and later, bay area researchers on a mission. how they're working to reverse the loss of bird species over the last half century. live from the cbs studios near san francisco on this saturday evening, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. we'll get to the protests taking over college campuses in a moment, but first we begin tonight in the east bay for those keeping track, april is national volunteers appreciation month, and may is older americans month. >> so today the city of danville did a mashup, they paired people who like to help out with people who really need the help. john ramos has got the story. >> reporter: last weekend people across the bay area gathered for earth day events

to help the planet, but on this day in danville, they gathered to help each other. each year lindy sable has a special treat for her visitors. >> yes, these are grandma sable's cookies. >> reporter: but this year when she met her guests -- >> hi, i'm lindy. >> nice to meet you. >> thanks for coming. >> reporter: -- she didn't have to bribe them. that's because he and his son and lindy's neighbor all volunteered to help plant flowers in the backyard of her danville home. it's something the former kindergarten teacher has a hard time doing these days. >> i can't do it. i used to do all that stuff, teach, work in the yard, as you see it's a big yard, do all that. but no, i'm going to be 78 in a month, so you know, i keep -- i try to keep going. >> reporter: the help comes courtesy of the danville senior

center, which each year organizes this annual lend a hand day. volunteers met in the morning to be assigned to homes of seniors who need a hand keeping up with their outdoor spaces. much of the emphasis is on connecting young people with those of the elder generation. >> you know, yard work can be overwhelming, especially after all the wonderful rain that we've had. the weeds grow high, the grass grows thick, and so these volunteers might be getting their first gardening experience. >> these are the elderly, they've got disabilities. you know, maybe they can go out and do a little bit of weeding and stuff like that, but it's much easier for people like us to go out there and do it and help them when we can. >> reporter: back at lindy's house, this 14-year-old was already a veteran volunteer. last year he signed up himself and his father to be part of the lend a hand service project. >> and i just saw it and signed up for it. looked cool. >> why? >> well, sometimes, like, i don't really have anything else to do, so if you can help

someone, then, you should do it, right? >> reporter: so you didn't have to drag him here, he dragged you? >> no, not necessarily. i think we like to have things do together, and it was a great part to be here, so. >> reporter: lindy spent her career teaching young children to work as a team, and she believes volunteering is especially important far generation that often seems to lack strong connections with other people. >> yes, we are missing that very much so. >> reporter: why do you think that is? >> just because everybody's so busy. the kids are so programmed. they go to school and then they go to sports, and so we do need to take this time to look around and see what's needed in our community. >> reporter: there's a saying, the most important thing you can give someone besides your love is your labor. on lend a hand day, young and old both gave a gift to each other. not to mention the cookies. >> today was the 20th annual lend a hand day. it drew 96 volunteers ranging in age from

12 to 73 years old. meanwhile, volunteers in the south bay were helping seniors fix up their homes, painting homes and offering structural repair, including replacing roofs. today rebuilding together silicon valley is hitting more than 18 homes with 1,200 volunteers. >> our mission is to preserve affordable housing to make sure people can stay in their home and have a safe and healthy home as they age in place. >> homeowners can apply if they're below 80% median income and cannot do the repairs themselves. demonstrators protesting israel's war on gaza are showing no signs of backing down as they continue to camp out in tents at uc berkeley. this encampment has been outside of the hall for days now. protesters are demanding the university divest from companies involved with the israeli government. >> we won't stop until they're addressed. we hope they'll be addressed. we don't hope to be

here long term. put pressure where you think maybe personally you can put pressure, whether you're running a business, importing thing, exporting things, in government, everyone's voice matters. >> meanwhile, up north, cal poly humboldt has shut down their campus saying that anybody who enters without police permission will be arrested. classes will be online until the end of the semester, and protesters have been occupying two buildings since monday. there's also been a growing tent encampment outside. yesterday protesters took down the barricades around an administrative building. and you can see what it looks like inside. the walls covered in graffiti and the office of the school's president was broken into. for its part, cal poly humboldt reliced a statement saying the investments in the university's endowment does not include any direct investment in defense companies or any securities issued by israeli companies or organizations or to defense firms. >> the campus protests here in the bay area have been pretty tame compared to many of the

other demonstrations at schools around the country. hundreds of student, professors, and other activists have already been arrested, but the nationwide movement only seems to be growing. >> reporter: in boston, police clearing an encampment at northeastern university, where dozens of protesters had been set up since thursday. officials say about 100 people were detained. while at columbia university, the epicenter of the protest, an encampment remained up for an 11th day. >> columbia needs to divest from any corporation that is profiting off of genocide, apartheid, or displacement of palestinians in israel. >> reporter: pro-israeli demonstrator m nonstudent, made their voices heard outside the campus. >> nobody's talking about the hostages. >> reporter: this columbia grad student who took part in the rally argues those in the encampments are promoting anti-semitism and ignoring the hostages still held by hamas. >> if you actually want peace to be achieved, as we do, and

every you want a ceasefire, the hostages need to be released and they need to be at the forefront of this discussion. >> reporter: the pro tests are only growing in the nation's capitol, another encampment on the campus of george washington university. >> we are here with a set of demands, and we won't leave until they are met. >> reporter: pro-palestinian demonstrations happening throughout the country at loyola university in louisiana, stanford, and arizona state. at usc in los angeles, the school cancel their main commencement ceremony over what they say are safety concerns. >> negotiations have already stalled between protesters and school officials at columbia university, where the president has threatened to clear the encampment. the call for universities to divest funds may seem unrealistic, but there is precedent. in the 1980s, students across the country, including berkeley, staged protests against apartheid rule in south africa. in the end, 150 universities ended up divesting from companies doing

business with the country. hamas has released another video of another hostage. this is keith siegel who was taken from his home on october 7th. the video was released today but cbs news can't confirm when it was recorded or what sort of pressure he was being put on by hamas. this follows the release earlier this week of a video showing berkeley-born hersh goldberg-polin. has dual israeli american citizenship. he was captured in october, and the video shows one of his hands missing. his parents released a video of their own. >> we're relieved to see him alive, but we are also concerned about his health and well being as well as that of all of the other hostages and all of those suffering in this region. >> if you can hear us, i am telling you, we are telling you, we love you, stay strong, survive. >> family has called on the negotiating parties, including

qatar, egypt, the united states to work harder to end the suffering. israel says hamas is still holding 100 hostages and today thousands of people took to the streets in tel-aviv to demand their return. the demonstrators say they are against israel's handling of the war in gaza. today hamas said it was reviewing a new israeli proposal for a ceasefire, and the gaza health ministry said that israel's military has now killed 34,,000 palestinians since the start of the war. san jose police are looking for whoever shot and killed a woman in downtown san jose last night. it happened just after 9:00 near the intersection of north fourth street and east saint john just about a block from saint james park. police stay woman was found unconscious and not breathing. no word yet on any of the suspects, and it's san jose's 12th homicide of the year. and ahead at 6:00, sex workers operating openly in one oakland neighborhood. why locals say the city's

solutions have only caused more problems. >> i always have to bring a pepper spray. i had to buy a taser just in case something happened. plus, one north bay county investing in its trees. the new guidelines for protecting them and the stiff penalties for knocking them down. mostly done with that weak weather system that was here yesterday. we're not entirely done wit. you can still see leftovers in the sky. and it did feel a little bit cooler than it otherwise could have. 80s are coming back. we're going to look an at the seven-day forecast. show you how long it takes for those to be felt across the inland parts of the bay coming right up.

welcome back. in san francisco, japantown's peace plaza is about to get a makeover. former house speaker nancy pelosi and mayor london breed shovelled some dirt, breaking ground on the renovation that will beautify the plaza. the design of the update shows more seating, more trees, and a bigger stage. speaking of construction, a couple local freeways are getting some work done this weekend. a stretch of 680 is shut down this weekend. caltrans is repaving the roads between the 580 connecter in pleasanton and koopman road in sonal. this is the last of several recent closures in that area. in the north bay, westbound highway 37 is also closed again this weekend for repaving. caltrans shut down the roadway last night and it will stay that way until 4:00 monday morning. the same closure is scheduled again for the following two weekends but for the eastbound direction. well, there will not be ferry service in and out of

sausalito through at least part of next week. might remember the ferry landing has been closed since last friday when structural damage was discovered. golden gate ferry trips are being replaced by the much more sedate golden gate bus trips until the landing is repaired. might also have to hop on a bus if you're taking b.a.r.t. in the east bay. there's no train service today between rockridge and lafayette because of work near the orinda station. b.a.r.t. does have a bus bridge, but it will add 20 minutes to your ride. trains should be up and running by tomorrow. in sonoma county, the board of supervisors recently took a step towards protecting more trees in the hopes of mitigating the effects of climate change. max darrow joins us from the newsroom to explain. >> supervisors voted to approve an expanded version of sonoma county's tree protection ordinance, which was originally adopted about 35 years ago in 1989. the changes will mean more protection for native tree, and it'll make it more difficult to remove protected

trees. the original ordinance protected 11 tree species with trunks nine inches in diameter or greater. under the updated ordinance, 31 kinds of trees with trunks six inches in diameter or greater will be protected. somebody wants to remove most kinds of trees in unincorporated parts of the county, they'll need a permit to do so. and the fees for removing protected trees will be much higher than they were in 1989, a maximum of $3,500 per tree. an environmental expert with the county says this move will help increase climate resiliency and support forest health. >> we have very beautiful forest ecosystem near sonoma county, and you know, those trees provide a lot of benefit, whether that's shade or recreation, soil stability, water quality improvement, air quality, carbon sequestration. >> reporter: he says the slew of wildfires since 2017 have

dramatically impacted the county's oak forests. oak trees will now be considered a protected species. there are exemptions to the updated ordinance, including removals for public safety, defensible space, and basic property maintenance. as for enforcement, violations will be investigated by the county's code enforcement division. the new ordinance will likely take effect at the end of may. all right, darren peck is finally back with us, and i think i loved what you said during the 5:00 newscast is that there's no more real rain in the future. >> not in the next seven days. if there's time we'll look at that. but definitely not in the next seven days, and the 80s are coming back. >> okay, good. >> we were in the low 70s for most spots. if you are curious, where does that rank in terms of average, we were pretty much right there. so we didn't stay down long from that weather system that was around yesterday, brought us all the interesting looking clouds, chance of a shower. that has left, but there are still some

residual leftovers in the sky. one of them we could see from our cameras on top of the salesforce tower. looking all the way south down the bay, you see the cumulus clouds that were bubbling out there over the santa cruz mountains today. they died down over to last few hours. beautiful view u, by the way. there's the san mateo bridge to give you perspective. we put the hyper zoom on that. in addition to some of the interesting clouds hanging around today, it's a little windy. this is going to make temperatures feel cooler. the numbers we looked at with day thyme highs in the low 70s maybe didn't necessarily feel that way. because you still have this 25-mile-an-hour wind coming out of the north giving you just a little bit of a windchill effect. and that is going to stick around for like the next two or three days. with could play that all the way through, and each day in the afternoon the winds pick up to like 40 miles per hour on the coast. 25 for the rest of us. there's a next system trying to drop rain there. it's not getting here. if we use tomorrow's daytime highs, first of all, to see what tomorrow's daytime highs are

going to feel like, they're almost identical to today. i'm going to switch this now to thursday. and you will see a couple of things. the colors are going to shade a little different, certainly inland. we're getting some 80s. san jose's going to go to 81. livermore goes to 81. we go back to the low 80s. both going to take a little time, because you don't notice much of a difference tomorrow or monday and then by tuesday the gradual warm-up will have started and it will get us back to numbers like that. to answer andrea's question, any rain coming? here's the long-range forecast. watch the series of storms out there, none of them get here. we're going out ten days on this, and we're pretty much in the clear. i think another fun way to watch this is let's see everywhere it's going to rain between like now and may 7th. and it rains many places. it doesn't rain here. we stay kind of in this protected bubble down over california. at least going out that far so. in the seven-day forecast you don't see any rain on it, and you see that

warm-up which doesn't last all the way to day seven. we get to mid-70s for oakland by thursday, but you cool down to the mid 60s again by next weekend. not a rainmaker but a cooldown. so san jose, you'll top out at 82 on friday then do back to 73 on saturday. 73 is average, by the way, so it's just you get a nice little warm-up there for those three days and then you've got to cool back down a bit after that. okay, matt, over to you. >> thanks, darren. ahead in sport, niners busy on day three of the draft making six different selections. they got much deeper at one position despite the rumors all week long that they might trade away within of their best players. all of the details after the break. - temperatures cooling down as we head into the weekend and stronger onshore... ah, i stepped off the coast again. - the winds are really picking up. - fog spreading farther inland. - and in the north bay, you're gonna get soaked.

it was day three of the nfl draft, and the niners had plenty of selections. san francisco drafted six more players saturday and they also got through the draft without

trading away brandon aiyuk or deebo samuel, two players who were in tons of trade rumors over the last week. >> with the 135th pick in the 2024 nfl draft, the san francisco 49ers select jacob cowing, wide receiver, as. yeah, baby. >> all right, shout-out 49er mark making the selection. cowing, the second receiver taken by the niners in the draft after they took ricky pearsall in the first round. last season cowing was the only wideout in the country catch 90 passes and score 12 or more touchdowns. san francisco used their first pick of the day on wake forest cornerback malik mustapha. with their third pick of the fourth round, they selected running back isaac guerendo out of louisville, and finished the draft with usc offensive lineman kingston and florida state linebacker bethune. the niners introduced ricky pearsall yesterday out of florida. he started his career at arizona state where he was

teammates with brandon aiyuk. he's also pretty familiar with his new qb. pearsall and brock purdy played against each other back in high school and he got a call from purdy on friday. >> reporter: what was that conversation that you had this morning, and how excited are you that a couple arizona guys are going to take the field here? >> the first thing he told me was my arizona brother. yeah, we played against each other in high school. he put it on us, i'm not going to lie. he put 70 on us, but no, i'm just glad i'm on the other side of things now and we get to play together. >> i got to ask, the nickname slick rick, where's it come from? how'd that come about? >> i guess it's sticking now. one person called me, now everybody's calling me. that started in high school. the rapper slick rick, it kind of stuck. >> speaking of name, how about brenden rice, son of hall of famer jerry rice, taken in the seventh round for the chargers where he'll play for former niner coach jim harbaugh. the niners did sign terrell owens' son. giants hosting the pirates as they look to get back to

and maybe kiss my boo boo. >> corey did get to meet tommy yesterday. no, tommy did not kiss corey on the forehead, thankfully for tommy there. i am curious, do we think corey went to a doctor in between games to check out a potential concussion? >> no. >> no. >> no. that was the quickest answer. >> i've got a technical question, you say it was clocked at 109 miles an hour, you mean the pitch was clocked or the speed of the ball -- >> the speed of the ball leaving. >> that's where we're at in baseball now, we can clock that. >> that doesn't mean the speed at which it hit his head. that's just friction. >> friction, what do you think then? how far did that deaccelerate? >> we'll talk to the physics department. >> come back at 11:00. >> all right, matt, thanks. coming up in our next half hour, the newest crackdown on the world's oldest profession in oakland. why locals don't think that new policies will make much of a difference. plus, bringing guns into the classroom. the state now

my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you've been diagnosed with amd and notice vision changes,

don't wait. ga is irreversible. it's important to catch it early. talk to your eye doctor about ga and learn more at gawontwait.com from cbs news bay area this is the evening edition. >> now at 6:30, neighbors in one oakland neighborhood demanding the city do something about the illegal prostitution

and sex trafficking. they held a town hall meeting with elected officials on a street near international boulevard. >> da lin spoke with neighbors and a young woman who says she was almost kidnapped. >> we have seen progress but it's not enough. we want to -- >> as elected leaders talk about plans and solutions across the street from the stage, two sex workers waiting for customers on the busy international boulevard. >> we see this every day. it doesn't cross our mind like, oh, this should not be happening here. it's like this is oakland, this is regular. >> reporter: high school senior trang and many neighbors say it's become normalized. sex workers walking in thongs and see-through tops. >> me and my friend joke about it. >> reporter: community groups invited elected leaders to this town hall meeting on 13th ave and international boulevard on saturday morning. they demand authorities to go off the pimps and johns. since officers aren't allowed by state law to arrest sex workers, officers are driving around to scare the johns away.

>> member of the board of supervisors, an assembly member, and the district attorney all saying we're going to partner and work with community because we know it's going to take all of us. that hasn't happened before. >> reporter: oakland council president nikki fortunado bass represents the area hardest hit. she believes new partnerships will improve street conditions. >> i personally have been committed in terms of the environmental changes. >> reporter: last year the city added barricades on a portion of east 15th street to stop illegal prostitution and neighbors say it worked. but it only pushed the sex workers back to international boulevard. >> turn it off. >> we're on a public sidewalk. >> turn it off. that's really rude. what's wrong with you? >> reporter: many families that live on international say they feel like prisoners in their own homes. children have to walk past the sex workers to get in and out. >> the city allows it to happen, and so the city and the county and everybody that's involved that has power to do

something about this by not doing it, it is allowing the business to flourish. >> reporter: trang shared on stage that last year someone in a large van followed and tried to kidnap her while she was walking to a store in the afternoon. a good samaritan helped her and they called the police. she believes the crime was related to sex trafficking. >> i can't walk around my neighborhood freely. i'm always, like, looking behind me. i'm always -- i always have to bring a pepper spray. i had to buy a taser. >> reporter: elected leaders made promises at the event, but trang said talk is cheap. she believes in results. >> i was not optimistic this issue will get stopped. i'm hoping it will get better. >> reporter: elected leaders say they're working to deploy new programs and it could take some time to see changes on the streets. >> and san francisco is also dealing with sex workers on city streets. people living in the area of shotwell street in the mission district say prostitution and lawlessness have spiked. earlier this month a suspected sex worker was caught on camera attacking a

homeless woman in the street. neighbors want something to be done. >> it's a problem that they've allowed to exist and they seem to accept it and we're suffering. they're not enforcing the law here in the way they perhaps do in some other neighborhoods, such as noe valley or even bernal heights. >> the residents on shotwell say sex workers moved to their street after a hot spot was blocked off. we reported last year about the city's efforts to crack down on sex work on cap street. they installed a concrete barrier to keep johns away. happening right now in oakland, crime victims and survivors from around the bay gathered to heal together. the vigil at lake merritt honoring loved ones lost to crime. coalition also calls on california to invest in crime prevention. they say that state lawmakers and voters will have a chance to pass important reforms. and that includes care for victims. >> hurt people hurt people. but healed people heal people. and

so the more access we have to healing services, the more support we have for each other in community, the more opportunities we have to process the trauma in and the harm that's happened to us and move be yond it, the more opportunity zes to keep each other and our communities safe. >> we'll have more on the vigil on the 11:00 news tonight. harvey weinstein has been taken to a hospital prison ward in new york city just days before a court appearance. the disgraced movie mogul was hospitalized for medical tests after getting checked out by doctors at rikers island. he is expected to appear in court wednesday after the new york court of appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction earlier this week. weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison. the appeals court ruling says the trial judge in the case allowed testimony not directly related to the charges he faced. weinstein is still serving a 16-year prison sentence for charges of rape and sexual assault in los angeles last year.

school teachers in tennessee are now explicitly allowed to carry handguns on the job. governor billie signed the law on friday. he says it's a move that will give school districts the tools to keep children safe. that law requires the guns to be concealed and teachers have to first have a background check and a psychological exam. guns will not be allowed in stadium, gyms, or auditoriums, but apparently classrooms are okay. a sticking point for opponents of the law, parents would not necessarily be notified if their child's teacher were armed. millions of americans in the midwest are under tornado watch this is evening, receiving warnings of strong winds, heavy rain, and flash flooding throughout the weekend. tornados have already levelled several homes in nebraska like these. and including a town outside of omaha where winds topped 135 miles an hour. luckily, there

haven't been any reported deaths in the state, but the damage has been significant. one farm own who are lost a lot of property from the tornado damage, including two barns, says she doesn't see a clear path to recovery. >> this house was built in 1892, and it has -- it has stood for well over a century. and we refurbished it several times now, and i don't know where we go from here. >> meanwhile, in iowa, governor kim reynolds has declared a disaster in a small town on the other side of the border with nebraska. a large tornado levelled hundreds of homes and businesses. so far about 80 tornados have been reported across at least five states. and still coming up, as businesses around them collapse, you'll meet one of the people helping to keep a historic san francisco book store alive. plus -- >> we've never been able to see data like this on the west coast before. >> the remarkable bay area volunteer studying the movement

well, further east from that golden gate bridge, antioch library will be closing this tuesday to have its roof replaced. holds won't be available for pickup, and the book drop-off will be locked during the closure. people will still be able to place new holds online and pick them up at any contra costa county library branch. work on antioch library's roof is expected to take six weeks and is scheduled to re-open on june 11th. earlier this year the library

closed over crime and safety concerns and eventually re-opened with full-time armed guards. while we are on the subject of books and today is national independent book store day, and while plenty of other businesses have left san francisco, its most famous bookstore is still attracting tourists from all over the world. loureen ayyoub with how the lights are still on at city lights. >> reporter: nothing like the tangible experience of walking through a bookstore. i'm at city light, the world renowned book store in san francisco, where the team here is working hard to ensure the lights stay on even as the business of books changes. it's a journey of discovery one page at a time. that's how paul yamazaki sees it. as a longtime buyer for city lights bookstore in north beach, he says he feels lucky to do what he loves because a few decades back that was not the case. >> i think i'm one of the few independent book sellers who

can say they went straight from jail to book selling. >> reporter: marches against war and advocating for more diverse literary representation in academic institutions. his protesting cost his some time behind bars, but his passion for education that represents the whole of america made its mark. >> we felt that particularly for students of color that we weren't being represented in the curriculum, by the faculty, and by the outreach into the various communities. >> reporter: as a third generation japanese american, paul began working at city lights 54 years ago with the same passion fuelling him as it does today, bringing more global knowledge to san francisco's diverse readers. but maintaining that goal has not been easy. according to the american book sellers association, independent bookstores face stiff competition from online retailers like amazon. while paul is trying to find new ways to keep the bookstore afloat, longtime fans of city lights,

like author mars, is bringing in new generations to the shop, like his granddaughter. he says he remembers popping in when he was a young one. >> i didn't have any money for books then, and some bookstores would kick you out, but city lights just let you come down here and spend hours. you could read the whole book if you didn't have any money to buy it. >> reporter: it's the kind of community commitment paul and city lights' original owner always envisioned. >> people see themselves when they come browse the books we have here. >> reporter: and see a whole world of opportunity. >> it's important to read because it makes you smart. >> reporter: and to provide more knowledge to more people, paul is currently exploring new ways to monetize the business, including the possibility of turning it into a 501c3, but until then, he's just taking it one chapter at a time. >> a good bookstore is still the best place to go. and a

library. >> reporter: a place to go and grow generation after generation. well a gold watch worn by the wealthiest passenger on the ill-fated titanic went up for auction today. >> john jacob aster's watch, it's among the number of things that were recovered from the ship that sank in 1912, which includes the -- that belonged to the titanic orchestra leader, which darren would tell you they may have been playing nearer my god to thee, or maybe they weren't, as the titanic sank. >> the violin was the highest selling item ever at $1.7 million. the watch is expected to sell for between $125,000 to $188,000. >> wow, that's amazing. >> it is. well, coming up, a rare coin dealer getting ready to hide more loot in san

francisco. when the new clues will drop. i have no clue what the orchestra was playing, but i was impressed that every one of those names resonated with brian. he knew them all before he read the script on those. >> titanic man. >> he knew that. let's take a look outside, another good day for cloud watching, but this will be the last day for days like that where you had cumulus clouds building. we're about to go to a very quiet scenario. and 80s are coming back. when and how

a scavenger hunt has people on a frenzy trying to find rare and valuable coins scattered throughout san francisco. and if you missed out on the fun, you have another chance tomorrow. >> it's like the coolest thing ever. and it's so, like -- it looks pretty old. >> wow. that lucky person found a coin at the palace of fine arts yesterday. one of 11 coins hidden across the city. why is he doing this? that is my question. the fellow who's distributing the coins. that is $1,100 worth of coin. put together by seth chandler, owner of witter coin. why are you doing this? 8 of the 11 coins have been found. another hunt is plan for the tomorrow. new clues will be released on witter coins' instagram page at noon. maybe he'll tell us why. over in oakland, children

of all abilities got a chance to play some football with a few d1 athlete this is afternoon. the clinic was an all afternoon event open to kids, inclusive of all special needs. some players from cal berkeley, along with former nfl linebacker sam manuel led the event. they said it was fun to get on the field and show the youngsters some drills. >> they don't have the opportunity, so i think really setting up programs like this is really helpful, because tilt makes a community, allows them to have fun, allows them to play with other kids. yeah, gets them really involved. >> jones says he's also involved with special needs inclusive soccer and dance clinics for kids around the bay area. >> that's my kind of an athlete, guy who gets out there and does that kind of stuff. yeah. >> it's really nice. did you ever collect coins when you were a kid? >> i never did. >> what did you do when you were a kid? >> let's see, there was little league. i was bad. i did have a

couple of wheatback tenneys. i don't know if that counts in this conversation. andrea, you were mentioning it feels cold to you. there's an interesting thing about this. >> it's windy. >> that's why. the daytime highs, they're right on the mark for average for this time of year. >> oh, okay. >> lot of low 70s out there. it's a windchill you're feeling. it's going to be that way for the next three days. you watch the map on here, and the visualization of this is going to look the same for each of the next three days. and by that i mean in the afternoon you're going see the colors brighten up right there is a good example. that's tomorrow afternoon. 40-mile-an-hour wind gusts along the coast. 20-mile-an-hour winds coming across the rest of the bay. the streamlines show you these are northerly winds. pretty typical for this time of year so. the tradeoff here is we start waurming up, daytime highs start to get into the low 70s. but then this is also when we start getting that classic spring upwelling along the coast and the northwest winds start whipping around and the onshore breeze comes in. and you have to deal with that. so

you don't necessarily get to enjoy the fact it was in the low 70s. if you look at the climate records, those numbers are all pretty much right on the mark where we should be for this time of year. by the middle of this coming week, really the by the end of this week, those numbers are ten degrees warmer. and the wind is going to relax a bit for a time. you are going to notice a nice warm-up by like thursday. it's going to take us a little bit of time to get there. in the meantime, we have these weak systems sitting off the coast that are keeping the winds going. here's comparison on this. those are tomorrow's daytime highs. pretty much exactly what we were today. wind speeds will be similar. we're going to switch this to thursday. two things show up. the color codes really change over here. look over here. pleasanton 69, 71 tomorrow. let's look at thursday and watch what happens for those inland valleys. let's go back to that. you're going to the low 80s. 82 in concord. 08 in pleasanton. we don't change necessarily a lot over the coast, but san francisco, you could get to the low 70s by the time we get to thursday. that's a noticeably warm day

in the city. then we look ahead from there. when's it going to rain again? if. and what we can do with the long-range forecast models and going out reasonably. you can go ten days with these. and we don't see anything to this believe that now through may 7th we're getting any rain. here's a somewhat more psychedelic way to look at it. the accumulated rainfall adding up on the map over time. this way it looks a little more dramatic. you see all the places that it will rain between now and may 7th. and then you see the dome of nothingness over us. we're not getting rain from now through may 7th and maybe longer than that. the climate prediction center's a little more optimistic in the long range. by day 14 they're saying your odds go up for rain. there was one system by the time we got past may 7th, it looked promising. there's the rest of the seven-day. after mid-70s for thursday and friday in oakland, you've got to cool back down again to the 60s. that pattern is the same for the microclimates. in other words, you warm up to 80

degrees for inland valleys thursday and friday, and then you give it all back next weekend. from 82 in san jose on friday to 73 on saturday. and inland east bays will do the same thing. low 80s thursday, friday, back down to the low 70s by saturday. all right, guys, back to you. >> thanks, darren. coming up next, they capture them, they tag them, and they track them. how and why scientists in the south bay are trying to learn more about the patterns of some critically endangered birds. and remember, you can watch us any time, anywhere on our streaming service, cbs news bay area. catch all of our live newscasts plus news and weatherup dates throughout the day. you can find us on the free cbs news app or on pluto tv.

in the past 50 year, nearly 30% of the birds in north america, that's 3 billion birds, have vanished. that's due primarily to habitat loss, pollution, and now climate change. >> in tonight's project earth, a cutting edge technology now in the bay area is helping scientists work better to understand ways to help the birds. >> here's len ramirez. >> reporter: the wild birds come here at the southern edge of the bay area surrounded by urban sprawl, native and migratory birds have found a safe haven on a tiny strip of forest. >> this is a little island of

natural habitat for everything that lives here, specifically we watch the birds. >> reporter: katie is with the san francisco bay bird observatory. volunteers with the nonprofit have studied birds at the coyote creek station in milpitas. they've seen a worrisome decline in some species. >> these ecosystems are being impacted. these species are being impacted, often in a negative way. >> reporter: to shed light on the issue, katie and her team collect data using a traditional research method known as banding. >> they've got a very big personality. >> reporter: the birds like this chickadee are gently caught, their feathers inspected by softly blowing on the bird. researchers can check for fat and signs of molting. >> it's a bracelet. so it rolls, it goes up and down. >> reporter: a lightweight band engraved with a unique number is fitted around its leg. the bird is then reelised. if the bird is caught again, the id allows scientists to keep track of its movement, but --

>> you recapture a very low percentage of all the birds you band. so you have to band a lot of birds to have any of them turn up at another station. >> reporter: now a game changing technology is blowing researchers away. >> we've never been able to see data like this on the west coast before. >> so it's been very exciting. >> reporter: the system uses radio transmitters to track wildlife as it travels vast distances across the globe, revealing incredible new details. >> we've had detections of western meadow larks here in the valley, in the northern part of the valley, that were tagged in montana. >> reporter: levi heads up the program for the california department of fish and wildlife. so far california has more than 50 stations with antennas strategically placed from the oregon boarder to the salten sea. this one located on grizzly island in solano county is run by levi's group. >> usually one station per property is all that's really required to cover anything that might be moving by or using

that property. >> reporter: with it, researchers attach tiny tracking tags to small birds, bat, even butterflies and bees. when the wildlife flies by a tower, the tag emitts a unique encoded signal picked up by the antenna. >> see those red flashing lights? >> reporter: the signal then goes to the cloud and ends up in a central database. >> then it's available for the public to take a look at. >> reporter: what's key, researchers are sharing data. the hope? that scientists will more quickly understand where the birds are spending time and identify which areas are the most important to protect as the planet continues to warm. >> i'm very concerned. >> reporter: back at the coyote creek field station, there's another station. katie hopes the data and humans will help give these birds a fighting chance. >> the more we can slow climate change, the better. >> reporter: in this case aiming for more than just a wing and a prayer. >> well, there are now 1,200

stations across 31 countries monitoring at least 250 species of birds, bats, and insects, so to see where they are traveling, you can go to our website, kpix.com. >> as jacob our producer said in my ear, i'd like to see them tag a bee. >> how do you do that? >> right, what would that be like? >> luckily i don't have to do that. >> appreciate you watching, we'll be back at 11:00 tonight. >> until then, the news continues streaming on cbs news bay area. i'll see you then. next. stop. you got it? let's go back to the beginning. are you... your electric future. customized. the fully-electric audi q4 e-tron. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. ♪ ♪
