airways is adding virtual flight attendants as digital human cabin crew to help customers at airports during flights. it's called sam's 2.0 and it was rolled out this weekend at itv berlin trade show. the airline says passengers can talk into their phone, with sam's answering on a large screen. welcome to the nine. here we are with. andre and garcia and, well, you too, andre, i the look on your face says, what do you think? okay. >> i mean, at least maybe you'll get through to someone at the airline when you do need them. >> that's my first thought about about this virtual assistant on the airline. i don't know how well that's going to work, because the reason why the flight attendants are there not necessarily to serve you, they're there in case of an emergency, you know, so i don't know if it'll work too well on the on the airline itself, but maybe, maybe assisting and maybe the virtual assistant will be there to pick up and address your problems in a proper manner instead of being on hold for. >> and you know, maybe time, maybe it'll save the actual

flight attendants from responding to the whole like, can i have more ice for my pepsi? do you have like, just like the little menial things all you need besides just just stuff from the flight attendant though, like, you know, well, there is also a shortage of flight attendants nationwide. so maybe this, you know, i version is trying to replace, you know, what a what a human. well, no, you have to have a certain amount of flight attendants on every flight that's required by the government so that, you know, so it can't replace, you know, that job per se, because you have to have it has to be a body. >> yeah. okay >> all right. so it's not like a supermarket. but you're right. >> but some of those manual things i mean i don't care if a robot or a person gets me more ice for my pepsi, right. >> or answers, you know, we're ten minutes ahead of schedule. we're 20 minutes. you know, just i just feel so bad because, like you said, the flight attendants are not there to bring you more ice for your pepsi. they're there to make sure the aisles are clear. you know, if there's an emergency. i mean, goodness, we've been reporting on, you know, the past couple of months here. what can happen up in the sky? they're there for your safety, primarily. >> need them? you sure do. yeah. all right, let's start our newscast here in oakland. >> as many people who live and

work in that city are increasingly concerned about public safety, businesses say they're struggling as well. now, four major companies are taking action in oakland to help protect their workers. we'll head to ctv's amanda quintana live in oakland with how some independent efforts appear to be coming together. >> yeah, well, garcia, those four major companies, clorox, pg and e, kaiser and blue shield of california, all of them now teaming up for this program that's going to be worth $10 million to try to keep their employees safe as they go to and from work. all those companies, they just made this announcement yesterday saying that this program is meant to complement the work that's also being done by the state, the city of oakland and the police department, all to address crime here in oakland. the new security measures are set to roll out in the coming weeks with the creation of an uptown downtown safety zone. it will be an area staffed with off duty police officers. there will be buddy escorts to help people to and from places like offices and restaurants, and there will be transportation for employees to and from work and transit hubs nearby parking lots and businesses. crime has been a

serious issue for many of these employees, and all four companies previously had their own security programs, but now they're joining them together, and that's a good thing. >> but they want to keep they not only want to keep the neighborhood safe or the city safe, we want to keep their employees safe. you want to go to work safe. you don't want to go to work worrying about, am i going to get mugged or my car going to be broken into? or am i going to be harassed? that's those are the questions you. every time i walk out the door, i think we do need a presence. >> you know, we need patrolling, some kind of deterrent to deterrent to, you know, to move these criminals out of the way and, and, you know, keep people safe. >> just a few months ago, kaiser put out a notice advising workers to stay inside for lunch after some employees were being robbed during their break. it also told employees to not have meetings in downtown oakland right now, this program is funded through this year, so just through 2024 now what happens in 2025 has not really

been set yet, but we did talk to the ceo of blue shield of california, and he said he believes this program is indefinite. they're going to continue to have it until it is no longer needed and until their employees feel safe going to and from work. live in oakland. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> amanda, thank you. oakland police are investigating a deadly shooting in the brookfield village neighborhood. now, police say they received several reports about a person who was shot about 415 yesterday afternoon. it happened on leuven, louvain avenue, just east of 880. paramedics rushed to the scene and the victim later died at the hospital. there is no word about arrests or what led to the shooting. >> new. this morning, san jose police arrested one person following a gun battle with officers. police were called to the area of ross and lee avenues for a welfare check near d'aw park, east of south bascom avenue. officers arrived and found a man holding a gun outside a home. they tried negotiating, but he fired at least one shot at them and

police then returned fire. no one was hit. the man eventually surrendered just before 630 this morning, san francisco police searching for more people who may be involved in a deadly shooting in a plaza that's part of the powell street bart station. >> it happened around 930 last night. police found one person who had been shot. the victim's name hasn't been released. two people were detained and a gun recovered. >> as far as danger, we are still looking for possible suspects. again, this is an ongoing investigation. >> and do you have anybody that you've taken into custody or taken in for questioning? >> we do have two individuals detained at this point. we don't know what their involvement is. so we're still figuring that out . >> despite that shooting, both bart and muni were still running. however, the entrance to the powell street station from that plaza was sealed off because of the police investigation. crews are moving to reopen the port of baltimore as quickly as possible, just days after a cargo ship slammed into the francis scott key bridge, causing it to collapse. >> fox's caroline shively has the latest from washington.

>> on friday, crews prepared to remove debris from the water surrounding what is left of the collapsed francis scott key bridge in baltimore, so they can continue the search for four missing workers to clear the channel. they're using the largest crane on the east coast capable of lifting 1000 tons, getting the port of baltimore running again at full speed is a priority given all the jobs that are associated with it. >> all the small businesses, all the other businesses, the transportation department has approved $60 million in federal emergency funding to clear the key bridge. >> president biden says his plan is for the federal government to foot the entire bill, but that's up to congress. the cleanup and rebuild is estimated to cost at least $400 million, and possibly up to a billion. >> we want to be clear that this is just a down payment. the $60 million. it is not the final payment. >> the timetable could be 18 months to several years. >> this work will not take hours. this work will not take

days. this work will not just take weeks. we have a very long road ahead of us. >> securing congressional funding for the rebuild could take months. both the house and senate are in recess. all next week in washington. caroline shively, ktvu, fox two news a united airlines flight from san francisco to paris was diverted to denver last night after the crew reported an issue with one of the engines. >> according to united, the flight landed safely in denver and the airline is working to find other flight options for the passengers. there were 273 passengers and 12 crew members on board. >> new this morning, state regulators are proposing a change in how power companies in california calculate rates. currently bills are tied to how much power a household uses. a new proposal would make a portion of the bill a fixed charge. for most people that would be $24.15 a month. low income households would pay less. regulators say the goal is to provide some relief to people who use a lot of electricity in the summer, amid high temperatures. all right. >> it's going to be raining

today and this weekend as well. steve paulson standing in front of that radar map that shows the intensity of the storm that we're going be dealing with this system. >> i'm hiding it. >> don't hide it. >> show it to be a lot bigger. >> give it give us the full details. >> yes. now. and i won't rain the whole weekend. i mean, it's just. but you look at. all right. i mean, that's pretty good for us here at this time of year to see this system coming in. and it's still intensifying. the one little fly in the ointment might be the low could stay far enough offshore, where you really don't take the brunt of it before it slides south. but it's close enough for rain. thunderstorms and also wind beginning to pick up. there hasn't been too much rain yet, but some of this is, you know, some areas inland may not get a lot of rain areas coast wise. marin county south. i think we'll see some pretty good rain. terra linda the most we've had so far this morning lima valley in there, la honda, petaluma, half moon bay and hayward between 0.03 and 2 tenths of an inch. still, though, it looks pretty good depending on which forecast model you have seen some big differences for inland areas as much as almost three quarters of an inch on total rainfall, so we'll see if the

theme continues. but again, marin county san mateo coast skyline down to the santa cruz mountains looks to be the focus for the heaviest rain. some inland areas may not get that much, but we'll stick with the party line for now. rain continues to lift south to north and it will, along with the wind beginning to increase here over the next few hours. some thunderstorms certainly look possible. there's a cold core system anytime end of march going into almost april, you get this kind of a system. thunderstorms are probably going to be in the mix and they are. wind is not too bad yet, but it is already now. there you go. san jose now southeast 24, half moon bay, southeast 24. so the wind advisory starts in about two hours here. higher elevations, not too bad yet, but also out of the south southeast. so 11:00 this morning through 5 a.m. saturday. gusts 5560 i think are possible in some of the higher elevations. so thunderstorms hail. unseasonably strong system though for us for friday. saturday. good news is though, it looks like it's going to march southward pretty fast on saturday. and we'll be on the drier side. santa cruz mountains, mount tamalpais i

think the setup for them looks to be the best for the heaviest rain. i'll go with the santa cruz mountains. that's a big system for us. i mean, this time of year, my goodness. but it will be with us today, tonight and then start to move south. so rain and wind for your friday or wind and rain maybe for some inland sierra nevada will get the wind first and then the snow coming in. but for us, for the last friday in march, take your pick. there's a lot to go around here, a lot of cloud cover, wind, rain. and as sal mentioned, this, he's been cold this morning. and good, good reason why it's only in the 50s. but we'll see improving conditions a little bit on sunday and warmer temps early next week. >> bring it steve thank you. falling behind their peers and coming up short when it matters most. next here on the nine which high school seniors are largely unprepared for college in oakland and what's being done to turn around a troubling trend. then opening day saw two disappointments for bay area teams. the giants lost in southern california and what could be the a's last season with an mlb team. the oakland last season with an mlb team started with an unusual tailgate

fans showed up for opening day, but thousands of them flooded the coliseum parking lot in a block party boycott. it's all because of plans to take the team to las vegas. while the owners the same message could be heard, both inside and outside

the coliseum, calling on the owner to sell the team. fan groups the oakland 68 and the last dive bar are calling this the first day of their summer of boycott. >> i do not want to give them my money. i do not want to give john fisher my money anymore. >> we'll meet out here in the parking lot. it's a community, and we used to meet inside of the coliseum, but not this year. >> i feel like the team is being stolen from us with no say in it. so this is kind of how we're voicing our displeasure. >> organizers say they'll be boycotting in the coliseum parking lot all summer long. many fans say they plan on joining two bay area groups, the oakland united coalition and the oakland 68 are still fighting to keep the ace from leaving. >> they urge the alameda county board of supervisors to sell its stake in the coliseum to the city of oakland. the group says this would help fans take back control of the ballpark. they also say it would bring jobs affordable housing and other opportunities to oakland residents. a board member of the oakland 68 quintana branch said, we have a right to control our own greatest assets, especially

when they're currently being controlled by folks who don't care about our town. we call upon the alameda county board of supervisors to stop the current course of action, and instead prioritize the interests of the community they are sworn to serve. meanwhile, the is likely hope their second game of the season is not a repeat of the first. the announced attendance was above 13,000, about half of the a's first game in oakland last year. keep in mind the coliseum can hold as many as 63,000. the a's offense mustered only four hits and were shut out as the guardians open the season with an 8 to 0 blowout. the a's finished last year with the worst record in the league, 112 losses. >> the san francisco giants opened their season on the road in san diego. they lost last night to the padres 6 to 4. game two is tonight, and you'll be able to catch tomorrow's game right here on ktvu. fox two. joining us now is adam amin, who is play by play broadcaster from fox sports. adam, thanks for joining us. dude. i listen to you on football. you are one of the voices of my weekends. i just want to let you know that that's incredibly kind. >> and i really appreciate that from you guys. thank you so very

much. >> yeah. adam, the giants, yesterday, bob melvin, i'm sure wanted to go in there and win against his former club. it didn't really end that well for him in san diego. he still has a couple of opportunities to go in there and win, you know, what do you think the key is for the giants to be competitive this year? >> well, a lot of the things that we saw plague them last season, in particular their struggles on the defensive side of the ball, i think they improved just by roster alone. we did see some solid defensive plays in the opener against san diego. we did see some miscues as well, but i think having matt chapman and having nick ahmed on the left side of the infield, that's what six gold gloves combined between those two. that's certainly going to help. i'm excited to see lee in center field. i think this is a real potential for jungwoo lee to make a name for himself defensively especially. so hopefully, you know, some of the major issues that we saw for the giants last year are mitigated. there's a lot of question marks about this. pitching staff, but i think just roster wise they do

look a little bit better on the offensive end. you know they were you know bottom third of the league in a lot of offensive categories last year. i do feel like that is bound to improve as we start to get the season going. >> yeah, they have jorge soler, who is a legitimate power hitter, so that that's going to change. you mentioned pitching, and i just made a note to myself that logan webb kind of reminds me of matt cain, that he has that same hard luck that matt cain had. i don't know if you remember that, but he pitches well and then something happens. he doesn't get the win. >> yeah. we saw kind of snowball, the other day right. in the later innings as, as the padres came back and put together one of the one of their kind of patented bigger innings with this lineup, i think for san francisco, this is a staff that that has been right, their right to keep your team in a game consistently over the last couple of years. you mentioned matt cain, and that probably brings in a lot of very specific memories to a lot of giants fans out there. but, you know, logan webb, despite, you know, the wonderful era at a sub 500 record last year. and again i know wins and losses don't really represent everything about pitching, but i feel like

it was reflective of what we saw from this team trying to get the big hit late in games, trying to deliver with different guys in the lineup, be a little bit more consistent in their order. and yeah, this pitching staff is going to have to be good. blake snell, you brought in you have webb and snell at the top of the rotation. when snell comes in and gets healthy there's a lot of hope about what we're going to see from you know jordan hicks coming over from saint louis and toronto. there's a lot of potential for the giants especially because of the roster improvements. but i think it's going to be a bit before you start to see it consistently come through. everybody's still trying to figure out exactly what this team is going to look like on a consistent basis, especially in divisional games. adam brian savin used to build really good pitching staffs, and he didn't need that many runs to win a game, you know, he had those great pitchers back in ten, 12 and 14, for example. and then you just needed maybe a handful of runs. is it different now? is the pitching staff not as good? and do they quite frankly, they need to put up more runs. >> i don't necessarily want to blame the pitching staff for it.

i don't even necessarily think it's the staff not being as good. i feel like this is where the offense has even changed a lot in the game of baseball, just in the last ten years, you know, going back to the lincecum and cain days, you know, that wasn't doesn't feel like that long ago. you just mentioned those years. you know, it's you know, within the last decade and a half. but a lot has changed in terms of how offense has shifted. the rules that have, were now in the second year of these new rule changes that ban the shift. and we saw offense go up over the course of from 2022 to 2023. and i expect that to kind of continue to tail a little bit upwards this season as the pitch clock has gone down a little bit, without guys on base. so that might tax pitchers a little bit quicker, i'll be curious to see how offense continues to grow, but i do think that's part of it too. that's why we see some of the quicker innings, the bigger innings, the rule changes have something to do with that base stealing has a lot to do with that. the pressure on pitchers is a little bit higher than it ever has been, and guys are still expected to go out there with max velocity and max effort. so you're still only getting 5 or 6 inning outings.

the setup guys are so much more important now than they have been probably in the last 5 to 10 years before, you know, we saw the back ends of those bullpens. the wilsons and the romo's do such great work. you know, the back end of the bullpen for the giants looks decent when you have duvall back there. but the setup guys are going to be just as important, maybe more important than they have been in the last 5 or 10 years in baseball. >> adam amin i always like it when your crew shows up on my tv for any sport. thank you for joining us. we'll see you on saturday. >> thanks for your kindness. looking forward to it guys. >> all right. coming up on mornings on two. the nine breaking barriers in astronomy. the new technology to bring the upcoming solar eclipse to those who are visually impaired. then a nine year old leading police on a chase, tearing

northern california must have really wanted to get to school. the chp in oroville posted these photos on their facebook page with the title. another episode of you just can't make this up. the chp says an officer saw a car stopped. oddly in the middle of an intersection, and when instructed to move the car sped off. the chp followed the driver and tried to stop it, and the driver stopped abruptly, reversed the car, just rammed into the patrol car. turns out the driver was a nine year old who had taken his mother's car and said he was driving himself to school. the boy's grandmother posted on the chp facebook page that the boy's mother had been in the bathroom and had no idea this all had happened until she saw her car was gone. fortunately, no one was hurt and the boy did indeed make it to school. >> the environmental protection agency approved the strongest ever greenhouse gas standards for heavy duty vehicles. the new rule will avoid 1 billion tons of emissions and save truck operators money in the long run. federal regulators say it will allow future truck models to use

former mentor. is it time for mikel arteta to ascend the throne, or is he still the student in need of one more lesson? see you. at oh baby. >> a big weekend in the premier league. the action kicks off saturday 8:30 a.m. eastern 10th place newcastle taking on seventh place. >> west ham united, nottingham forest and luton town needs some results and matches on saturday, both kicking off at 11 a.m. eastern. >> and then sunday is where all eyes are going to be as liverpool takes on on the right and sitting in second place and really hoping to put some pressure on man city and arsenal, who will face off after to close things out. >> that weekend, 11:30 a.m. eastern. then that is the match that i know i am going to be absolutely glued to. what about our friend geoff shreeves? how is he going to enjoy all the action this weekend? geoff. >> welcome in my friend. loving the plaid. where are you gonna

be watching these games? i'll be watching it at the ground itself. i'll be at the etihad courtesy of cbs and i'll be bringing you updates before and after the game as well. i can't wait for it. i know we talk about huge games, but in terms of this title race, which has been the best we've had for at least ten years with three real contenders in it. this is a huge game at absolutely huge game, and the ramifications for the winners or the losers cannot be underestimated. that's who are you giving the edge to then for man city, arsenal? well, i don't want to send alexis into meltdown. i know he's already quivering in his shoes, and i think, look, i, i going into this game, i can see why both sides have confidence and you can make a case for both sides as well. but you've got when you look at manchester city, as i think we always think of them because they're going for their fourth title win on the trot, they'd be the first to do so, are there any in their armor whatsoever? well, i mean, i was

extremely surprised when i was having a little look at things today. >> manchester city have not beaten a top five side this season, which was staggered by. >> so perhaps a little bit of hope that they're they are conceding more chances than they have done in the past. so they are perhaps if you like, there is an air of let's be completely daft as they vulnerability about them, but they maybe are not the machine they were previously having said and all of that, they're on this incredible run right now 13 games in the premier league. they are the form team, you've got to say. and in terms of their home form, i think the 38 game unbeaten run, which is absolutely staggering. so it's going to be a fascinating match up. >> and what i'm interested to know from you guys is how do you think will be won or lost? where will this be won and lost? will it be in the wide areas? will it be who comes out on top between rice and rodri? or is it about

saliba and haaland? there are so many fascinating tactical duels all over the pitch. i think it's going to be an absolute superb game and what i'm also fascinated as well to see how arsenal approach it, because remember this time last year they went there, they got absolutely battered. >> for one. that was the end of their title really. i think this is a very different arsenal team this season, but they based that score on goals. but they're not conceding as many. so because i think arsenal will go there with more belief. >> and they have had in many, many, many years. i don't think they've won there for eight years. so i think their belief is higher, but i don't think they will go there. >> well, their fans certainly won't expect them to go there expecting to win. i just think they've got more hope this time and more belief. s i mean, i personally and for me, i think that midfield battle that you

mentioned, charlie mentioned that as well. rodri versus rice, it's going to be all of it. i wonder who else will be alongside rice. >> the difference makers of that moment of brilliance. sometimes when matches are not want to go big teams are pitted against each other and you need someone to unlock it. and it's that moment of supreme brilliance. >> and both teams have those wide players also that, you know, i, i agree with that battle. but foden you know or saka can have those moments that just sort of define the season. odegaard hopefully odegaard is. yeah hopefully. yeah yeah hopefully for me hopefully on the away side. but i guess my question for you jeff, is which team do you think is going to have a larger change or shift from their typical tactics or the typical way they play? >> well, it's, you know, it's nigh on impossible to predict what pep's tactics will be on the day because also, you know, it depends if stones is a bit, depends if walker is fit. >> we should find that out relatively soon. and i think also you look back to the game

in october as well. >> i think a lot of this depends on how much arsenal press, how much they try. and harry manchester city, because that's potentially when you can unsettle them. you don't want manchester city to play for arsenal. you want them to and dictate the game. >> if you like. but it's knowing when because inside manchester city, particularly if edison returned and there is apparently a chance as well they can bypass arsenal's press with a longer pass as well. so it's about the moments in the game, knowing when they should go, when they should shut out manchester city down because you've i think there's some statistics as well that allude to you can get a great deal of a great deal of joy, but you'll get some joy if you're trying to hit manchester city on the break, on the counter attack if you like, but you know, again, look at the quality manchester city have all over the field as well. >> so they they know each other

so well. these sides i think it would be difficult to pull anything completely different out of the hat, i think be subtle. i think it being nuanced and you talk about that midfield area as well. charlie for you, do you think georginio is the right person for sunday because he does change it around. if it's georginio rice and odegaard as that midfield three, do you think that can do enough to disrupt them? >> i do jeff, if as long as georginio is not tasked with chasing people down, if he doesn't have to follow as it could be around because declan rice ventures forward. so i think psychologically though, this is the best place arsenal have ever been going against this recent manchester city side. but i want to switch the point of attack here and look at this. >> liverpool, brighton match, the match that's playing before this, this city, arsenal match. >> a lot has been made of sir billy potentially going to brighton, potentially taking on liverpool after klopp leaves. what were you see brighton

coming into this game at anfield and can they get a result as well. >> they can because jurgen klopp is yet to beat roberto de zerbi, hasn't he? in their four games that they've had and also it would be impossible given the job. >> alonso news as well not to view this as roberto de zerbi is auditioning. if you like his anfield or the fact he's settled on the goalkeeper as well now, brooklyn as well, because i think they have the, the record number of changes for goalkeeper in the premier league that settle them down as well. and they do have an excellent record against liverpool home and away right now. so yeah it can see if liverpool avoid defeat. they will be top on sunday ahead of the other going of course they'll be expecting you know they're going to want to win. they're going to hope they can post all three points. >> that only adds doesn't it, to the intensity of the whole week. and it's just fantastic. but i think liverpool fans going into this game will be wary of

brighton, and they're just a little bit of a bogey team for them. >> aren't they? so that's going to be an awesome dynamic on sunday because for like half an hour, liverpool does win have they'll be top of the table like having a little bit extra spice to that food. that is arsenal city game. i asked this question jeff to alex and charlie in the first segment. why do you believe that did lose for the whole of last city arsenal will go on to lose the premier league title. >> you know what would you all believe? >> well, okay, let's try and break it down for us. i think. look, if manchester city know they lose close, the gap would be then four points, wouldn't it? >> which is a lot to make up. but then there's some very, very, very difficult fixtures as well, said nico. >> if you, if you look at the triangle, liverpool, manchester city and arsenal in this season, this is the last of that and

arsenal are the only team to have won one of those games. but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will win the title. >> so you know it'll be a mess, it'll be a massive dent psychologically, wouldn't it? i mean, if arsenal win, nico, i think they will come away from there. if they win, i think they will come away believing that they are going to win the title. to go that strong. i think they will really believe that they will win. >> the doesn't mean they will, but i think they will believe they will win the title. if they can win at the etihad and if manchester city win, it's slightly different because it's business as usual for them, isn't it? we've seen this so often. this is the time of year when pep puts on the afterburners. this is the slip into turbo mode. so i think they will feel yes, that's
