4:01 pm
the bridge covering their bodies with white sheets and pretending to be dead to make sure that we both put world leaders like president biden on notice, but also made sure that the public really knew what was happening. dozens of chp officers in riot gear arrested 81 protesters and towed at least 15 cars that were part of the protest. >> but what these protesters have done, again, is unacceptable. it took hours for chp officers to reopen the bay bridge. >> they said many of the activists ended up throwing their car keys into the bay. >> you can protest that. you have your first amendment rights. don't do it here on the bridge. don't impact people's lives in emergency vehicles, people needing to get to the hospitals, work in schools. they're going to go to jail. >> we have so much empathy and compassion because we know it was a huge inconvenience. but times like these and moments like these call for us to be inconvenient, balanced. >> this driver said he missed his flight. >> sympathy and a little bit
4:02 pm
off, kind of a combination. i understand their plight and certainly admire it, but wish i'd gone further. >> one of those arrested was a mom that was stuck in traffic, headed into san francisco for work. so i told my kids, i called and i was like, hey, there's this protest. >> and they're like, mama did history? go film it? so i got out of my car and started filming in it, and i saw the police being very pushy with the protesters. >> pedro said she was arrested after shooting video of chp officers pushing protesters. >> he said, you got to move out of the way. and i couldn't. there was a car behind me and said, hold on. and he grabbed me and arrested me. >> protesters were cited with two misdemeanors, failure to disperse and unlawful assembly. i also asked the protesters we spoke to today if they're planning more actions like the ones that we saw today on the bay bridge. they said we will have to wait and see in san francisco, luz pena, abc seven news. >> all right, louis, thank you. and something else you don't think about also stuck in that back up at least three transplant organs that were heading to ucsf medical center where you want your organ to
4:03 pm
work. >> well, when you put it in. and the longer the organ is preserved in between the donor and the recipient, the slower the organ wakes up. so this impacts the early organ function after transplant, the longer it's preserved. >> ucsf doctor garrett roll also says at least one surgery was canceled this morning because the patient was stuck on the bridge roll. expects other surgeries to be impacted throughout the day. >> now, we've seen this kind of protest before. back in 1991, some 6000 persian gulf war protesters blocked the eastbound lanes and hundreds were arrested. then in 2016, a protest labeled as a day of action to commemorate martin luther king junior's birthday shut down all lanes of the span for an hour and a half. and in 2020, a black lives matter protest blocked the westbound lanes for more than two hours. >> a guilty verdict for the man charged with the attack on paul pelosi. >> david depape could face up to 50 years in prison. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra has been inside the courtroom each day. joining us now with the latest. steph >> yes, larry and david depape

pop who demonstrated extraordinary composure and courage on the night of the attack. a year ago. and in the courtroom this week. thankfully, mr. pelosi continues to make progress in his recovery. president biden was briefed on the verdict by abc news. mr. president, the pelosi attacker was found guilty. >> your reaction? >> sharing a thumbs up as he walked off stage during an apec event. >> we look forward to the sentencing phase of this. >> litigation departs. federal sentencing may be postponed depending on what happens in the state case. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins released the following statement saying, we will confer with the federal prosecutors and with the victim in this case as we determine what our next steps in the state case will be. mr. depape is facing a different set of charges in our case, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and false imprisonment. we are confident in our case and are prepared to move forward to trial. depape has been transported to the san

4:07 pm
across the street at the ceo summit at both president biden was front and center giving speeches as leader of the host country, president biden led off the first meeting of the leaders of the 21 apec member economies. it was a roundtable. the us set the focus of the meeting. of course it was climate change. biden called it an existential threat to humanity. he then called on apec leaders to do a mea culpa. the president said that apec members account for half of the world's global trade , but at the same time, they're to blame for a lot of the pollution that is causing global warming. we're responsible for the largest share of global emissions, so we must also bear responsibility for the solutions. >> while we still have time to change course, biden asked apec members to take stronger action. >> he also called on the group to make good on the paris agreement to invest $100 billion in fighting climate change. now there is a little bit of tension going on in the background, and
4:08 pm
mexico's president said publicly he did not want to appear in that family photo if peru's president was there. mexico's andrés manuel lopez obrador and other latin american countries do not consider peru's dina baluarte a legitimate president. she's next to president biden in pink there. lopez obrador is in the second row. you can barely see his head on the upper right in the photo, baluarte took over after peru's congress impeached the elected president last year. they say that group photo is always a little awkward. so this year pretty much the same. all right. just getting underway soon. vice president kamala harris will be hosting a discussion with the apec business advisory council, all she's expected to announce in fact, she has made the announcement of a $900 billion investor that the us is making to increase women's participation in clean energy and environmental conservation. and earlier today i had an exclusive local news interview with one of the key players at the summit that is the us trade representative. ambassador
4:09 pm
ambassador katherine tai. she has been chairing the daily meetings with the foreign ministers, of course, so a very busy woman and we discussed what she thinks are the biggest accomplishments coming out of the summit. >> i think that our most significant contributions to our apec host year in terms of trade are the convening of the indigenous peoples. our indigenous community leaders coming together for of the apec economies actually invited leaders, our tribal leaders, indigenous community leaders to come and have a conversation with the entire set of apec trade ministers about about what it is like their history, where their challenges are and the connectivity between our indigenous peoples. so that is a first for an apec convening and apec trade ministerial. i am hoping that peru will take this up next year and help to make it a regular part of apec.
4:10 pm
>> i think folks have heard about this week the san francisco principle is first of all, we love it when our cities name is in something that's becoming international policy. but what are the san francisco principles? i know it's still being hammered out. what is it that you're trying to accomplish? >> certainly. so these principles are negotiated. they're meant to memorialize those principles that make it clear that the apec economies are committed to each other in promote voting, inclusivity and sustainability as parts of our trade and investment policy bodies. and so at this moment, when there's so much that is changing around us, heightened geopolitical tensions as fragile supply chains that need to be fixed uh- climate change, all of these aspects. we know that inclusivity and sustainability are keys to our ability to have a prosperous economy. and so i remain optimistic that our negotiated, who have been working very, very hard for the past few days, will still be
4:11 pm
able to achieve consensus. >> finally, i've got to ask you, you are arguably the most prominent person after vice president kamala harris, who's of asian-american descent, working in the biden administration, and to be able to represent the administration and the us at apec with all these asian leaders here. how do you feel about that? oh i feel tremendously proud. >> i feel tremendously proud of being an american. and in my title, i am the us trade representative and to be able to sit at that table and to convene and host these meetings and to let people know that with my asian heritage, that i am the person who has been appointed to be here to speak on behalf of the entire us economy and the united states is a tremendous honor and privilege. pride in her voice. >> and of course in the aapi community. there's a lot of pride in ambassador thai as well. so after all the hard work today is done, it's time to
4:12 pm
socialize and cement all the goodwill that's been created. right. so, you know, the spouses and the leaders and their spouses will be at the legion of honor tonight, a very fancy affair. and for the working media, there is a reception at city hall. so i hear there's a shuttle to take us there. and i hear there's a great swag bag. so larry and anna, guess what? i'm going tonight to enjoy. >> enjoy. fantastic. >> what's in that swag bag? >> yeah, we'll see. maybe tomorrow. fantastic coverage all week long. >> it's thank you guys. thank you, guys. >> all right kristen, thank you so much. and abc seven news is your station when it comes to everything apec 2023. we are posting continual coverage on our website and streaming apps. download the abc bay area app wherever you stream coming up on abc seven news at four a apec fashion the styles through the years and what participan might wear for tomorrow's so-called family photo major league baseball team owners. >> they vote in favor of moving the a's to las vegas. we'll tell you what that means. and cruz is pulling the plug on its

move to las vegas on our own. casey pratt has been following this story for what seems like years now. dressed in your customary funeral attire. we're talking about the a's and oakland. >> yeah, well, you know, sometimes we have to break out the black attire when these these somber notes hit. but, you know, i feel like i have to keep cautioning people. yes. this is another big step for the a's towards las vegas. but there's still a lot of road left to travel. and we're talking desert roads. riddle with pitfalls. major league baseball's owners unanimously approved the a's move to las vegas today. they also waived the relocation fee. but what they didn't do was present any actual information about the financials of the move or show anyone, even a rendering of what this ballpark is supposed to look like. so for now, the only thing we do know for sure is that the a's will be playing in oakland through 2024. after that, who knows? >> i have no issue with the city of oakland or the mayor. you know, we tried very hard to make a deal in oakland. we did that
4:17 pm
out of respect for the fans in oakland. >> the outcome of the vote is extremely disappointing, not only as the leader of the city of oakland, but i know that it's going to be hard for the fans as well too. and so but we all know that there is a long way before shovels are in the ground and that there are a number of unresolved issues surrounding this move. >> i understand there's an incredibly difficult day for oakland fans. and i just want to say, we gave every effort out and did everything we could to try and find a solution. there and it was only in the last couple of years that we began to turn our attention to another market, that being las vegas. >> now, you may be surprised to hear i actually agree with john fisher. this is a really rough day for a's fans, but i don't agree with the sentiment that they did everything they could do. they wasted years on fremont , years on san jose, years. suing mlb over antitrust exemptions. they didn't even focus on oakland until 2018. larry nama. so did they really do everything they could or did
4:18 pm
they pull the plug too fast? well you could also point out that in all of those locations, they fail to ever get a shovel in the ground. >> so who knows what will happen in las vegas. but so now we have this weird situation where the team has a lease that runs through next year and there's already talks about possible fan boycotts on opening day and who knows how it unfolds from there. but what leverage, if any, does the city of oakland have in this situation right now? yeah, well, the thing we heard there, nobody knows where they're going to play. >> so at this point in time, if they want to extend this lease past next season, the city of oakland is going to say, okay, then maybe we keep the team name and colors or okay, maybe that means you have to give us expansion. otherwise why would they ever extend this lease? >> well, the a's could end up playing at oracle park if the giants want to go for that. that. yeah, there's a lot of pendulum swinging back and forth in terms of leverage here. that's possible. yeah, lots of chips still to fall here. >> a lot to figure out. but for now, not great news for a's fans in their hopes to keep the a's in oakland. all right.
4:19 pm
>> thank you, casey. i know you'll be on top of it. >> yeah. and vegas is trying to become a sports powerhouse. this weekend. the city is hosting its first formula one race. drivers will hit speeds topping 200mph, weaving past resorts like the venetian and caesars palace. you can watch the race saturday night at 10:00 on espn. >> for what it's worth, the ticket prices and the hotels and everything have plummeted because they they were trying to charge premium dollars for this event and vague as citizens have vegas citizens have not have not really bought into that. so just be advised if you if you're planning a move there anytime soon. all right. >> okay. let's check on our weather. a little break from the rain today. >> it looks like we got a little sunshine behind us. sandy, any more of that coming our way? >> yes. so we do have some more wet weather in the forecast. larry and ama. but we did get a little breather today as ama mentioned. good afternoon to all of you. let's take a look at live doppler seven at and we'll talk about where the wet weather is very isolated right now, as you will notice, heading into

, claiming they presented an unsafe, reasonable risk to the public. that came days after a pedestrian was hit by a human driven car, then pinned underneath and dragged by a cruise. seems like there are a lot of bugs that still need to get worked out. i don't know. i think maybe this is a good idea. michael, what do you think? >> you know, consumer watchdog doesn't believe in this technology at all. they say it takes a human behind the wheel because what do you do if somebody walks directly in front of the car, but then over here is two little kids and they say you need a human to make those decisions. so i don't know if we're ever going to get this right. honestly and i know i'm one of the few who believe that. >> i think it's so complicated because the processing speed that these vehicles have to operate at, i mean, trying to predict what a human is going to do, it's almost impossible. and it's the tech is just not ready for where we need it to be. all right. forget about taylor swift, her boyfriend, travis kelce. he's dropped a new single for the holidays. you were

working with him on ways to create new flavors. the ways to tell stories and really unique ways, which is what we're, you know, really famous for at salt and straw. so in this case, you know, bringing something new to the world, a brand new ice cream cake is pretty it's a bit of a behemoth. we get ready for our new flavors on the friday after thanksgiving. so black friday, we have our most famous menu of the year is our holiday menu. so it's all based off of kind of nostalgic flavors that one one of those flavors, one of the five flavors next friday is very tequila heavy. so i think we might we might hit the spot there for you. >> this guy, i don't know why people are pointing at me, but, you know, you got to get the rock to record something for your phone or your website. >> can you smell what the rock is cooking to? >> just put a picture in front of my face? >> yeah, well, that will work too. awesome. >> what does it take to be head ice cream maker? that's a cool job. >> yeah. yeah it's the best.
