now at 11:00, an explosion in the middle of a peninsula neighborhood was so powerful one man thought an earthquake hit. >> it was loud enough, i was sitting in a port meeting and i said what the [ bleep ] was that? >> what a bomb robot found inside that car. plus on campus clashes as pro palestinian protesters come face to face with cops in riot gear at multiple colleges across the country. and for the first time in more than 200 days the parents of abay area man taken hostage by hamas see his face in a propaganda video, how they're reacting tonight and what comes next in their push to bring him home. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello. good evening. i'm sara donchey.

tonight a lot going on, mass arrests, clashes with police in riot gear at multiple college campuses across the country happening all at once and that includes right here in the state of california. pro palestinian protesters have been camping out, demanding their colleges divest from israel and calling for an end to the war in gaza. it has become something of a movement across the country, but tonight tensions have really boiled over. these are images from three colleges, ut austin in texas, of course, cal poly humboldt and usc in l.a. at usc protesters tussled with police that were trying to clear out an encampment playing tug of war with their tents. at one point officers formed a line around the park and closed in, taking students away in zip tie handcuffs. we just learned nearly 100 people were arrested on campus after police warned

protesters to disperse. reporter tom wait has been at the usc campus all day and night and has more on the clashes from l.a. >> reporter: well, a very much calmer scene here on the usc campus as the lapd did clear out all the protesters who were in alumni park. that's one of the a man quads on the usc campus. we've just learned 95 people were arrested by the lapd throughout the course of the day and evening. there was a point where they were kind of trying to form those lines around the park and surging to create those lines when some of the protesters started throwing things at the police officers, including what looked like water bottles and liquid, possibly water. we aren't exactly sure. as far as whether this protest will come back, we don't know, but police got most of the protesters who do not go to school here off the campus of usc and now things are very quiet. they have sealed off most of the gates unless you have a student id. that is the only way you can

get on the campus. >> that was tom wait reporting from los angeles where things have definitely calmed down, but it wasn't just happening in los angeles or even just here in california where some of these big scuffles were going on between protesters and police. troopers rode in on horseback in texas to disperse protesters at the university of texas, austin campus. they arrested 34 people there this afternoon alone. there was this mad dash when students walked out of class to march across campus. they were met with hundreds of officers, most of them from the texas department of public safety, troopers, deputies that were called in to control the crowds, different law enforcement agencies all working together there. the cbs austin news crew ended up being shoved to the ground as they were trying to cover the story with cameramen and reporters. at least 34 people were

arrested along with interestingly enough two media members caught up in all that. back here in california looking up north, cal poly humboldt actually closed its campus for the entire week and moved their classes online after tensions really exploded between riot police and protesters there. so the strategy there has been this. protesters have been occupying two campus buildings basically taking it over. on monday they barricaded every entrance to the building that administrators use and they, too, had clashes with riot police there. by tuesday they actually stopped officers from evacuating everyone from the campus. tonight the building is covered in graffiti and signs. the university says in addition to the doors still being blocked, toilets in the building are no longer working. it looks like so far the administration is just throwing

hands up in the air. all student spaces on campus are closed through this going to affect my grade? am i going to pass this class? with all this going on it's hard to focus on school. >> so the university put out a statement saying people on campus are communicating with protesters trying to encourage them to leave as soon as possible. so far, though, it doesn't look like there is a concrete plan about what to do next with these occupied buildings at humboldt. back at home things have been staying peaceful as protesters build their encampment at uc berkeley. people have spent the last three days camped out on the steps of sprawl hall. >> i absolutely think the encampment is really showing that palestinians are not alone in their struggle. we are trying to emphasize as the palestinians have shown us over the last seven months in the face of this genocide that they

are here to stay and so are we until uc divests. we aren't going anywhere. >> as we've reported, protesters there are demanding the university of california financially divest from corporations supporting israel and they want the university to cut ties with israeli programs and enact policies to protect palestinian students. a man tells us he was on a meeting phone call when he heard an explosion so powerful in his peninsula neighborhood he thought it was an earthquake. and you wouldn't want to be inside this plane, the hard landing caught on camera. we'll check in with paul in just a bit. and we have robot dogs, why not add a flame thrower to the mix?

our excellence is shining yet so many of us are dying colon cancer is silently killing our people our friends and family the health revolution must begin from diagnosis to death rates colon cancer can no longer win colon screenings are a must they're recommended for those 45 and up if detected early colon cancer is treatable. 91% beatable. it's on us

to stand up to cancer once and for all. it has been six months now since the war between israel and hamas began, 200 days, and the parents of berkeley born hirsch goldberg poland have felt every one of them in painful agony. their son was taken hostage by hamas october 7th. hirsch was one of 40 people taken from a music festival in israel. his parents saw a video of him taken into a truck with one of his arms blown off. since then they've even gone to the white house to speak to the vice president, but today hamas released a propaganda video showing hirsch alive the first time since his

kidnapping presumably. our andrea nakano has the response from his parents and spoke to a retired fbi agent about the clues he sees in the video. >> reporter: hirsch goldberg poland was born in berkeley before he moved to virginia and then to israel. he was one of many hostages taken at the music festival and he hasn't been heard from until now. for the first time since october 7th hirsch goldberg polin's parents finally got to see his face and hear his voice. [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: the video, which was roughly two minutes and 45 seconds long, brought some comfort to hirsch's parents, john polin and rachel goldberg. they released this prerecorded video statement in response to their son's video. >> seeing a video of hirsch today is overwhelming. we're relieved to see him alive, but we are also concerned about his health and well-being as well as that of all the other

hostages and all those suffering in this region. >> reporter: from protests in israel to speaking with media outlets around the world, his family has been trying to raise awareness about him and the other hostages still held by hamas. >> what we want to do is lay on the floor in a ball weeping, but that won't save him and it won't save any of them. >> reporter: kpix security expert jeff harp analyzed the video. he says there are very few clues on when and where this video was taken, but it does offer one powerful message. >> that's one thing you never want to give somebody to look away from and that's hope because sometimes that's all you have. >> reporter: there is one image from the video that harp said could provide some answers by looking at hirsch goldberg polin's injured arm. >> now you can kind of make a determination with some medical analysis with the medical professional sort of how long it's been since the wound has healed. >> reporter: the 20-year-old

also looks like he has lost weight compared to him in this photo, the last image of him taking cover inside a bomb shelter as hamas went on their rampage during the music concert. his father with a heartfelt plea to negotiators. >> be brave. lean in. seize this moment and get a deal done to reunite all of us with our loved ones and end the suffering in this region. >> reporter: and his mother with a message for her son. >> we heard your voice today for the first time in 201 days and if you can hear us, i am telling you we are telling you, we love you. stay strong. survive. >> we will keep our eye on that story for you. back here in the bay area federal law enforcement, including the fbi and atf, were in daly city after a car exploded early this afternoon. you could see the doors and the

roof of this toyota were just blown out. the inside of the car was charred, the windows all gone. cameras caught a police robot earlier taking a propane tank out of the car. for those wondering exactly what caused all this, police haven't said that or explained why the fbi may be involved here. a neighbor said he heard and felt the explosion. >> i was working on a computer in my basement and heard a loud boom. it was loud enough, it was an important meeting, but i said what the [ bleep ] was that and immediately went to the backdoor, hear all these car alarms. >> that neighbor said his immediate thought was maybe it was an earthquake, but he quickly realized it was far too loud and violent of a jolt to be that. >> then i ran outside and the neighbors started popping out one by one and there's a car down the street that was blown to pieces. the roof was blown

off. the doors were blown out. then we started looking around for a person, you know, thinking there might have been a driver. >> none of the homes around the car seem to be damaged. we reached out to daly city police to ask more about what happened here. we are still waiting to hear back. san jose city college canceled all their classes this evening after a bomb threat on campus. the school's president sent out an email today saying cancellations were out of an abundance of caution and they evacuated the campus while san jose police look for threats. they haven't said if the threat was credible or not. on monday our helicopter caught police with guns drawn combing the east bay high school campus. phoned in threats against two schools across the bay area turned out to be hoaxes then. police locked down miramonte high school in orinda and students at gunn high school in palo alto were forced to shelter in place. those threats were unfounded. police have not made any arrests thus far. you know a plane's landing

went badly when the people who film them for a living describe it as the roughest they've ever seen. this lufthansa plane bounced off the runway at l.a.x. yesterday. take a look. the pilot made a last second decision to abort the landing and try again and really last second meaning after he touched down. if you fly regularly for work or for fun, there is a really good chance you have some kind of horror story about a long delay or maybe a flight canceled entirely leaving you stranded. air travel can be a headache. just ask the people on that lufthansa plane, but now new rules for air travelers will put money in their pockets to make up for travel nightmares. our katie nielsen was at the oakland airport today for passengers' reactions. >> i'm usually on an airplane about once or twice a week. >> reporter: david amil is an attorney and frequent flyer having spent more than his fair share of time stuck in airports, including a saturday

a few months ago when he was stuck at l.a.x. more than eight hours due to cancellations. >> i think i got like a $150 voucher. at that point i would have paid them 150 extra dollars to get on a flight. >> reporter: it's situations like those that spurred the department of transportation to draft new rules to protect travelers. >> we have heard it all and too often the things that we hear about aren't just irritating inconveniences. they are significant harms and more importantly, violations of passengers' rights. we're here to do something about that. >> reporter: the rules announced today require a refund, not flight credit or miles, for a canceled flight. if passengers are delayed more than three hours for a domestic flight or six hours for an international flight, they are eligible for a refund if they don't want to fly. bag fees also have to be refunded if a checked bag is significantly delayed and passengers get a refund if services they paid

for aren't available like broken wi-fi. airlines are now required to disclose fees up front for things like checked bags, carry-on bags, or changing or canceling a flight. >> this isn't just about enforcing when something goes wrong. it's making it less likely something would go wrong in the first place. >> reporter: a welcome change for passengers like angela who missed a connecting flight coming back from an international trip. >> last night my flight was delayed leaving montego bay, got me just in time to miss my flight. i had to get rebooked. >> reporter: she says she hopes the new rules will incentivize airlines to plan better and also solve problems before they arise. >> it should be a wake-up call to them. anytime, you know, somebody's hit in the pocketbook it should kind of wake you up, right? >> cancellations, delays happen, but they shouldn't happen because an airline is just seeking to maximize profit. so i think that moves by the government such as this,

i think it's great. >> so the new rules will be phased in over the next year. the department of transportation says passengers will save $500 million a year that they're currently overpaying in hidden airline fees. >> will they really save or will they just charge us that up front now? >> yeah. something else. i guess, paul, what is the worst airport nightmare you've experienced? >> i haven't had anything like dreadful. we did spend eight hours at midway christmas eve this past christmas. that's not ideal. that's not a great airport to be stuck in. >> but you sent me a picture of you with a beer, right? >> probably more than one. the wife went through a little bit of wine as well. >> i remember you and the wife were making the most of it i'll say. >> we had to self-medicate a bit. there are better airports to be stuck in. nashville you get live music. vegas you can gamble. >> sfo's nice. >> sure. but midway?

>> not a fan personally. >> not recommended. let's look what's happening weatherwise, no reason to go anywhere if you're making plans for the weekend because our weather is cool and cloudy now, but nice weather returning for the weekend. clouds are filling back in, a little drizzle, maybe a passing shower possible tomorrow to tomorrow evening, breezy tomorrow and flat out windy friday, back to a normal late april pattern in time for the weekend and the calm weather should stick around into the first half of next week. right now looking out at san jose, there's a little cloud cover, temperatures dropping down mostly to the low to mid-50s. you're still clinging to 60 degrees in san jose and you'll be one of the least cool spots early tomorrow morning. most of us will level off in the low 50s to begin the day thursday, a few spots dropping to the upper 40s. highs underneath that cloud cover aren't going to warm up a lot, 4 or 5 degrees below

average inland, only mid-60s in the santa clara, inland in the east bay around antioch 70 degrees, the only spot forecast to hit 70. the coolest locations, no surprise, along the coast, upper 50s half moon bay. you were in the low 60s today. low 60s for san francisco and oakland and mostly middle 60s for the north bay. a lot of clouds throughout the day, but just a minimal chance of an isolated shower or two, mainly some coastal drizzle. we'll zoom in on futurecast. you see the gray filling in tonight into early tomorrow morning. any green on the map, the radar simulation is, well, not exactly painting a widespread chance of shower activity, but it does show the chance for a couple isolated passing showers, a couple sprinkles on the windshield probably the extent of what we're looking at. even that will quiet down through early friday morning. sierra more likely to maximize what little moisture this system does have access to. so a couple inches

of snow, not enough to significantly mess up travel, but to freshen up the slopes if you're heading that direction for late april skiing. the wind will be more of a factor the next couple days. the wind is noticeable the past couple days, but it picks up to the 20 to 30-mile-an-hour range for the strongest gusts tomorrow. friday will be flat out windy, even possibility of a wind advisory from the national weather service, gusts into the 30 to 40-mile-an-hour range friday, but the winds back down heading into the weekend. let's look at the seven-day forecast. temperatures return to basically normal by saturday and sunday. that means low to mid-70s for inland parts of the bay area. that's where we stay through the first half of next week. temperatures are back to normal around the bay, mid- to upper 60s saturday and sunday, plenty of sunshine throughout the weekend. even along the coast while your temperatures aren't warming up much, you'll be stuck in the upper 50s, you will notice an increase in the

amount of sunshine, morning clouds and the sunshine by midday into the afternoon, just kind of normal late april weather the last days of the month. cats are professionals at hiding and they love cardboard boxes. that didn't make for the best combination for a cat that ended up hundreds of miles away from home. straight ahead in sports, it's about a b, another new day for san

i can't help it. >> it's your favorite song. >> i love it. >> you're the only one. so basically i think we had some optimistic feelings going into in giants game. they were crushed i would say. >> yeah, they were crushed, but they won the series. >> yeah. >> you win every series, the rest is easy. >> wouldn't you agree there was a bit of a snag? >> it happened when they got to work and found out their starting pitcher was going to be out for a while. we're talking about the giants. when they woke up this morning, it was pitcher blake snell's turn, but the two-time cy young winner was placed on the 15 day injured list with a groin issue. so that could explain snell's 0-3 start and an earned run average of over 11. hey, how about a fresh sean manaea on the right. he struck the side on the first and

finished with six punchys over 4 2/3 shutout innings. there was a two-run homer to francisco lindor, the first of two homers for lindor. mets won 8-1 and avoided a sweep. the giants now with the record 12-14 welcome the pirates to town friday. you're the dog. sometimes you're the hydrant. aaron judge imposed his will, flipped this into the right field bleachers, just too much yankee power. juan soto, away and gone. also in the first inning, a's now 9-16, fell apart tonight. yankees won the game and series, final of 7-3. san jose sharks fired head coach david quinn after two seasons. san jose finished with the worst record in the league

the first time since 1992. general manager mike grier expected a little more progress at this point of the rebuild. >> i didn't think we were a playoff team, but thought we'd be better than we were. so yes, i would hope this is rock bottom and we can kind of progress and take some steps forward next year. hey, some trojans news, the football world, former usc star reggie bush is getting his heisman trophy back. the ncaa reinstated his 2005 award. bush forfeited his trophy after receiving improper benefits while in college. citing considerable changes in college football, now it's pretty much the way of life. i'll tell you one thing, sara, when football season starts, the rate for those wendy's commercials that he does, it's about to go up. >> no kidding. thank you so much. all cat owners know their affinity for cardboard boxes,

but a utah couple made the importance of making sure they aren't still in the box before you ship it. that's exactly what they did, accidentally sending their cat 600 miles in an amazon package. they searched for hours for the cat putting up hundreds of flyers until they got a call a week later from the company that implanted the cat's microchip. the cat was shipped in a large box of shoes the couple was returning. thankfully, amazon employee brandy found the cat and took care of her until the cat could be reunited with her owners. >> we are so thankful for brandy and for everything that she did for our kitty. it was just the best because i know that under other circumstances that she wouldn't have been found. we're just so happy to have her again. >> the obvious question is what was going on while the box is

being shipped? the cat obviously went six days without food or water in the box, but thankfully, she is doing physically okay. this is quite the transition from cats to fire breathing robot dogs that were just unleashed for sale.

technology's supposed to make our lives easier. sometimes it doesn't work out as anticipated, whether that be a total failure or not really

solving one of life's more pressing struggles. we have examples of both. remember the idea that amazon was going to make it easier than ever to have your package dropped at your feet? they were testing out these prime air drone deliveries in the central valley. the project lasted for a decade, had its limitations. it could only drop light orders under five pounds, no big bags of dog food for my pup or heavy exercise equipment. >> there goes the china. >> what type of things was your daughter ordering? >> well, it has to be under like i think it's five pounds. so it has to be small things and it can't be breakable. >> the most ordered item last week was actually a toothbrush. >> thank god, they solved that problem. >> yeah. >> here's the thing. amazon sent an email to customers monday saying the drones are done effective immediately, but amazon will still keep the delivery operations going in texas. in case you've ever thought boy, i wish i had a flame throwing robot dog. >> every day. >> look no further. an ohio company has what you are

desperately searching for, paul. meet thurmonator, the first flame wielding robot dog the company says. are they sure? they can safely guess. it's operated by wi-fi or youtube. it shoots fire up to 30 feet. what could go wrong? >> yes. >> man. >> yes, what could go wrong? i guess there are some practical applications. the company says wildfire control and convention. not sure if fire departments are jumping to use this and it does jump or you could clear your driveway of snow and ice, but it's over $9,000, battery only lasts an hour. >> wow. >> i know you would buy this thing. >> it's $9,000. >> man. >> the price has got to come down a little. >> if you really wanted some protection. >> no kidding. >> could you imagine somebody is trying to break into your
