environment and right now there is a beach trash problem being revealed up on a stretch of coastline in san mateo county. pieces of junk and litter are showing up in the sand. lots of pieces. a neighbor noticed one large pile here at mussel rock beach in daly city. abc7 news reporter tim johns went digging to find the source of the trash and the bigger concerns ahead. >> watching the sunset over the ocean at mussel rock beach, you'd be forgiven for t a littlf heaven. but under the surface of all that natural beauty is a persistent and worsening problem. trash and a lot of it making its way down the bluff and towards the beach. and water. >> we can't treat the ocean in like a supermarket and a sewer at the same time and expect no problems. >> the trash issue stems from an old landfill that was in operation in the area from the 1950s to 1970s until it was built over over the decades. natural erosion and other

factors have slowly chipped away at the terrain, exposing decades of old trash. >> the really scary thing is that in many of these old landfills, we don't really know what was what went into them. >> liz taylor is the president of deep ocean exploration and research in alameda. she says problems with former landfills are popping up all over the country with devastating impacts on everything from the local environment to marine life. >> it comes back to us eventually in in for people that consume seafood. we're consuming plastic at an alarming rate. >> san mateo county supervisor david canepa tells us local leaders are well aware of the problem. he believes that due to its massive scale, fixing it once and for all will require outside help. >> and the only way we're going to solve it is if we double down with federal and state dollars. but even with extra assistance, fixing it won't be easy. >> you're talking not tens of millions of dollars. >> you may be talking 150, $200

million. >> for residents who live nearby, though, they say they just want something to be done. >> we want a beach clean for everyone. we want to help build our tourism and stuff like that. that's one thing that helps the community out. we live here all of our lives, and we like to show people like, listen, you come to pacifica, you're not going to see trash. >> in daly city, tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right. let's move now to tonight's abc7 news advancer at 11. it's our way to put you ahead of some of the headlines. you'll be seeing more of in the days to come. and tonight we start at the state capitol. it's an abrupt change. change to tomorrow's christmas tree lighting in sacramento. this year will now be a prerecorded virtual ceremony. the governor's office tells our sister station in sacramento the change is due to safety concerns surrounding possible protests. here's a look at last year's annual tree lighting event. it featured the oakland interfaith gospel choir, which will perform again this year. governor newsom and first partner jennifer siebel newsom will still host the 92nd annual

event. this year's special guest is a five year old girl, the first native american to assist with lighting the 60 foot red fir tree. it should be a dramatic moment in washington. republican senators are expected to vote against a last minute push for additional aid to ukraine and israel. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell insists that aid be tied to border security improvements. majority leader chuck schumer scheduled a vote for tomorrow on a measure that doesn't include border provisions. schumer accuses republicans of holding ukrainian aid hostage over these demands on border policy change. talks have been at an impasse since friday, trying to negotiate these two topics that have now been tied to one another. and our final abc7 news advancer at 11. a big win for california's high speed rail project. the us transportation department is awarding more than $6 billion for construction on about half of that will go toward a section of the rail connecting merced, fresno and

mothers, grandmothers and inside the abc7 take action town hall monday roughly 200 people gathered asking city leaders the tough questions. how can we ensure that these numbers go down? next year? >> well, part of it we're already doing we are not only making arrests for those who are dealing drugs on our streets, we're making arrests of people who are using drugs with the hopes of trying to get people into treatment and then the city is now more than six months into a multi-year agency effort to shudder the open air drug market, including california highway patrol, the national guard, dea and the fbi. >> tom wolfe is recovering from addiction to fentanyl and wants to know how long the support will last. >> what can you tell us about our our ability to sustain that operation, to try to close down the organized drug dealing that's happening in san francisco? >> police chief william scott saying as long as it takes. >> we've had some very successful operations.

>> they've already arrested hundreds of drug dealers. >> we're almost at 900, which is almost double where we were this time last year. and those cases are being prosecuted. >> and district attorney brooke jenkins says there's more that could be done to keep drug dealers off the streets, calling on the courts to take more action. >> we have filed over 300 motions to detain defendants in drug dealing cases. that means keep them in custody while their cases are open and we have only had a little over 30 of those motions be granted and so that means 300 drug dealers who are in a revolver door in our courthouse. but some of the audience saying the city is focusing too much on law enforcement moment. >> i'm a little concerned that that we don't have a balanced approach. >> gary mccoy is with healthright 361 of the nonprofits helping people on the streets. and he says there needs to be more efforts put into providing treatment and other services. that is 24 over seven drop in centers that is wellness hubs. >> that is staffing.

>> i would like to have heard a plan on how they plan on filling those shortages. i mean, as of right now, my son is currently waiting to be placed in a dual diagnosis facility. >> meanwhile, roman and others will have to wait as the city continues searching for solutions. wgn's tara campbell, abc seven news. >> and if you missed our take action san francisco event, there are still ways you can watch the entire town hall style conversation is now available on the abc7 news bay area streaming app. you can find it wherever you stream. and coming up this weekend, the full conversation will air again on abc seven this saturday starting at 9 p.m. and sunday at 6 p.m. safety in the skies. >> recent incidents as evidence that pilots and air traffic controllers are being pushed to the brink. tonight i speak with a bay area congressman working to do something about it. >> plus, tracking down murray, the bernedoodle and the stolen dog walking band. the search and

made off with it. the dog walker stepped away for a moment today

to pick up another dog, leaving a client's puppy inside the van at california and hyde streets on nob hill. next thing she knew, a stranger was in the driver's seat, taking off with a six month old puppy still inside . someone eventually spotted the van on baker and fell and called the police after hearing about this from a nextdoor post. murray. murray murray? >> yeah. >> hey, get in there, too. hey, we found him. >> oh, they are so happy. here's the family reunion. murray is just fine. he just needed to relieve himself. of course, after being stuck inside that van, all day, police say one person was arrested. >> all right. new developments. an off duty pilot is now being charged with 83 counts of reckless endangerment, not attempted murder for allegedly trying to shut off a plane's engines mid-flight. right. today, a jury determined joseph emerson did not attempt to injure anyone on the flight in october. the pleasant hill native was off duty from his alaska airlines job during the

flight, sitting in the jump seat of the plane's cockpit. the flight was headed to sfo, but made an emergency landing in oregon. emerson claims he was in a dream like state and had consumed magic mushrooms 48 hours earlier. and this all comes as the faa is forming a special committee to possibly change the rules regarding pilots and their mental health experts from the aviation and medical communities will try to find ways to encourage pilots to report and seek care for mental health issues. new rules and recommendations will be made by the end of march tomorrow. the ntsb will hold its first ever summit on pilot mental health, a bay area congress man is on the front lines of the fight to make flying even safer. >> mark. jason is a senior member of the house transportation committee and has authored a number of measures to improve airline safety and efficiency. i spoke with him today from washington. we have all gotten accustomed to ultra safe air travel with thousands and thousands of flights a day, day, a week, a month, a year

with no incidents. it is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. it is. >> and as somebody who flies across the country almost weekly , i'm aware of that as a consumer, there's a lot of dynamics in this, and we've got to make sure before tragedy hits us that we do everything we can hire more air traffic controllers, make sure that we're training them, training the pilots. congress man jason told me there are 1000 fewer air traffic controllers in the us today than there were ten years ago. >> we've got to hire more, he says, and pay them more as well. >> new at 11, a surprise celebration tonight on what would have been walt disney's 122nd birthday at his birthplace in chicago. young fans gathered in excitement and or singing along to christmas carols in the front yard of his former home. >> before, i actually didn't know he lived in chicago. well, his family house, like, i'm like my mind is blown. >> the night included special
