officers, then their concerns are going to be heard. >> lay was killed in the line of duty while responding to a burglary in progress that has rattled some residents and business owners in oakland's little saigon in chinatown, this has come to a shock to our communities because as they're weathering the fear and trauma about being the next victim to violent crime or property crime or vandalism, um, they would think that at least with the police officers, they would feel a little bit more safe. tran says lay's death raises all sorts of questions about the safety and security of oakland's neighborhoods and communities. >> what is the response from our leadership and what actions are they going to take, particularly around the state of the chief and opd? and these are questions that we are asking, not just in the vietnamese community, not just in the aapi community, but the larger oakland community. >> for now, the community is heartbroken. an officer committed to keeping oakland safe is gone. >> everyone in the city of oakland is devastated, and we're

just coming together as one. oakland to support each other, and that's how we need to move forward to make everything safer for everyone who calls oakland home in oakland, suzanne phan. >> abc seven news. new details now on a crash involving a police cruiser in san francisco. police say the driver of the suv involved in the collision failed to stop for officers during a traffic stop. you can see that suv flipped on its side next to a mangled patrol car. the accident happened at about 1030 last night on third street and cesar chavez. four officers were injured and taken to the hospital. all will be okay. the driver of the suv was taken into custody. over on the peninsula, high tides and rough surf prompted warnings today in pacifica. the area has already been hit with dangerous waves and flooding, and despite the numerous warnings, police say the waves have attracted some people to the beaches. one resident traveled from walnut creek to get a closer look at the waves. >> well, i've been watching it

of snow. >> so we shall see. hopefully it's not like as much snow we saw last year. >> oh no, that was quite a bit too much. yeah. too much. we need to find that sweet spot right in between. here's a look at what's happening with our weather right now. here's a live doppler seven. we had drenching rain this morning. not much at all right now, except perhaps an isolated sprinkle or two. most of the green showing up there on the radars, not even hitting the ground, but the satellite animation shows another approaching batch of clouds and moisture that will certainly bring us cloudy skies overnight and tomorrow. much of the day on new year's eve, and possibly some showers in the afternoon and evening tomorrow. right now, though, we have calm conditions, wind speeds in the single digits if measurable at all. it's a bit cooler than last night at this time, about 4 to 7 degrees cooler. generally across the bay area than at this time last night. so let's take a look at current temperature readings while we look out over san francisco where it's 52 degrees right now. also 52, in hayward, san jose, 5551 san mateo, and a cool 48 at half moon bay. and looking along the bay bridge, it it's a clear shot, but we do a

clear view, i should say. but we do have clouds above. it's 48 degrees right now at santa rosa, petaluma. 4550 at napa, and concord and livermore, and 49 at fairfield and looking across the embarcadero from our rooftop camera. these are the forecast headlines overnight, a chance of some isolated showers. new year's eve day, a late day shower chance and going into the evening tomorrow. also a chance of showers. but then on new year's day, a sunny start to 2024. so we'll be off to a sunny start monday even if we don't see the fireworks tomorrow night . here's a forecast animation taking us into the overnight hours. mostly cloudy early tomorrow morning. you might see a spot or two of isolated showers late in the afternoon and evening. tomorrow is our better chance for some more organized showers, but by late tomorrow night, 11:00 or so, we think the showers will be all over. maybe some lingering clouds with some hint of some clearing so we might be able to see the fireworks tomorrow night. tonight look for low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 40s high temperatures tomorrow, generally in the mid

to upper 50s. very few locations will top out at 60 degrees tomorrow, although san jose is likely to reach that temperature level. and here's our futurecast animation going into early next week. starting tuesday afternoon. our next rain wet weather system will be approaching. they'll start to produce rainfall tuesday night into wednesday through the day wednesday into wednesday night. then we get some clearing on thursday before the next wet weather system arrives on friday afternoon friday evening and that is likely to produce rainfall into saturday. and notice it looks like some a pretty good snowfall may occur over in the sierra from the approaching storms next week. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so for tomorrow, mainly cloudy during the day. maybe some showers again in the afternoon and evening, but we're hoping for some clearing late tomorrow night and it looks like that actually may occur. then on monday, new year's day, sunny start bright skies, high temperatures up to about 60 degrees but cooling down a little bit on tuesday as clouds increase. rainy and breezy with

a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale on wednesday, then mainly sunny skies on thursday. but another storm starts to approach on friday and it will probably produce rainfall by next saturday. >> i like to think that the sunny skies for that monday will be like a good omen for the rest of the year. >> i would hope so, but we need to get a few clouds in there once in a while, just to get enough rain to keep our water levels up and all that. >> so yeah. all right. that's a good balance is what we want. that's true balance for the new year spencer thank you. well still ahead on abc seven news at 11, a spectacular tribute to perhaps the greatest soccer player of all time. see how brazil is remembering pele one year after his passing

thousands of protesters are demanding israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who stepped down over his handling of the

war with hamas. they believe netanyahu has botched negotiations options for the release of more than 100 people still being held hostage by hamas. protests have been underway for more than a day in israel. >> i want them to put this, uh, topic first priority more than anything, more than military targets, more than any other political aspirations. >> netanyahu said today the war will likely continue for many months. the fighting in southern gaza is intensifying as israeli troops expand their ground offensive. meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis there is worsening by the hour. refugees have set up makeshift camps in front of mosques, and the un reports a surge in people fleeing further south. moscow is accusing ukraine of deadly air strikes on southwest russia. 20 people are reportedly dead as a result of the attack, which comes one day after russia unleashed its own large scale assault. here's abc's lama hasan

. >> according to russia's defense ministry, shelling in the center of the russian border city of belgorod has killed more than a dozen people, including children, and injured more than 100. this comes after russian officials claimed ukraine unleashed more than 30 drones over western cities in russia, including moscow. russia's defense ministry did not report any casualty from those attacks and said all of the drones were destroyed by its air defenses. russia officials say these attacks by ukraine were launched in response to the massive siege by russia, in which over 150 missiles and drones hit more than six major cities in ukraine , including the capital kyiv, killing at least 39 people and injuring 150 others. in kyiv, civilians gathered in an underground station in waiting for the air alarms to end. it was scary and terrifying thing, this woman said in the dnipro. multiple strikes hit this small,

sending people running for their lives and this maternity hospital left in ruins. several patients rescued from a fire do not. the war came to us to this woman, said straight to the delivery rooms in odessa. this residential building fully engulfed, flames and smoke rising into the air. the attacks bringing sharp criticism from the un security council. >> we ask all council members here today to join us in condemning in the strongest terms this abhorrent attack on cities and civilian infrastructure across ukraine. president zelensky saying russia used nearly every type of weapon in its arsenal, adding his forces will surely respond. >> lama hassan abc news, london. >> the cost of wine and liquor will go up on january 1st. that's because of a new crv deposit. californians already pay. 5 or $0.10 on nearly all bottled beverages in the new year. we'll add wine and liquors to the list. you can get the crv

money back, but in the past, that has been challenging for most people. abc seven news reporter melanie woodrow explains. >> come january 1st, for the first time, californians will be charged a deposit fee on wine and liquor bottles and containers. they'll also be able to get that deposit back if they recycle properly. consumer watchdog president jamie court says it's time. >> it's a win win win all around . uh- for the winemakers, for the consumer, for uh- and for the environment. the question is how is this going to be rolled out and how is it going to be worked? and the devil's in the details and that's in the hand of the recycling regulators. >> calrecycle director rachel wagner, where we would typically recycle is where you would recycle your bottles from your your festivities, which is where things get a little tricky. are there enough centers for the volume of bottles that people are going to have to redeem? >> we recognize that for some, especially, either very urban areas or very rural areas, that it is difficult to cite

recycling centers. >> it's for that reason that the legislation allows for retailers to get together and create dealer cooperate lives, creating a system that will work for their individual communities. but that won't go into effect until early to mid 2025. right now, retailers will have the option of paying $100 a day to opt out of in-store takeback until that ends in 2025. californians can redeem their bottles at existing redemption centers, which may be few and far between depending where you live. >> there is one recycling center at the edge of town in south san francisco, where you can go and recycle. that's the only recycling center left in san francisco, wagner says. >> there are pilot projects around the bay area, including backdrops, though she recognizes. i know that it's been a little bumpy redemption rates range from 5 to $0.25, depending on the material and size of the bottle or container, beverage manufacturers have until july of 2025 to make sure their label is correct, but will start paying january first, 2024, even if there isn't a crv label on the bottle, and

recycling centers will have to redeem it. as of january 1st, 2024. again, even if there's no crv label on the bottle yet, you can still put your bottles out curbside, but you won't receive any money for that. and cal recycle would rather you didn't. >> we get cleaner, less contaminated material that comes through the redemption centers, so we would prefer you brought them to a redemption center and got your money back. no money. woodrow >> abc seven news. >> still ahead. tonight, when you welcome in the new year. of course you make some resolutions . we've got some practical advice. so you can attain those goals. >> i'm spencer christian. more clouds are on the way. probably some showers as well. i'll have the accuweather forecast for new year's eve and new year's day coming up, when abc seven new

of disappointment when we fail to keep the resolution. abc seven news anchor karina nova spoke with director of behavioral health at blue shield of california. >> january 1st comes around and we all want to improve. we all want to get better. we want to make that resolution. why do we make these new year's resolutions as humans? yeah that's a great question, karina. >> and thanks again for having me. i think, um, the new year's is kind of like a it's a turnover in the calendar. sometimes this happens on birthdays or at the beginning of the school year, uh, beginning of the week even. but we particularly focus in on the beginning of a new year to say, kind of pause and reflect on what's going well, what's not going well, what do i want to do differently? tsay what do i do want to do more or less of? and so we put a lot of pressure on that new year to make changes. um and so a really natural thing

to do. and at the same time, not always really stick when you lump it all in and into that just one time of year. um, i'm a big proponent of essentially having a new year's resolution to not just have a one time resolution to have a period of kind of pause and reflect and, and change throughout the year, picking different times that give you a chance to focus in, um, you know, readdress on what's going on and see if any of the goals that you might have set need to be changed. >> and but how do we get our resolution to stick? any advice for us really? >> the first one is to be specific. a lot of the time when we're setting new year's resolutions or other goals, it's easy to be kind of a bit vague about it. so, for example, i might say, well, i want to exercise more versus saying something to the effect of or setting a goal that looks like i want to exercise xyz for 30 minutes, at least four times a week. so the latter is a lot

more specific and also gives me a much more kind of distinct target for my behavior change, and which means i'm going to be likely more successful in that. so again, being specific i think is important. second, really, um, having a buddy, you know, that can be it can be anyone. it can be a coworker family member. you can be your spouse. it can be your kid. it can be a friend. doesn't matter. again, it's somebody who can partner with you in your goal, who may or may not have a similar or same goal right. and who can. >> they don't even have to be someone that lives in the same city as you. you can. that's right across the country that you can text. and i hit my goal of walking 30 minutes today. yeah that's a great call out. >> yeah. and very good reminder. it's somebody who you can celebrate with you. it's somebody who can also hold you accountable on the days where you're like, oh gosh, i just really can't get to the gym today. but but that's somebody who can help you kind of push yourself out the door and get where you need to go.

>> the last thing? >> yes, the last thing. so this is also a favorite of mine, i think. and that is to assign a purpose and be really clear with yourself about it. oftentimes when we're talking about setting resolutions or goals, there's a reason why we're doing it. but we forget to connect it really deliberately to what it is we're trying to do. so for example, going back to the exercise or being, uh, healthy or goal that i described earlier, what's my reason for doing that for me? me personally, something like that would be about not just being healthier, but i want to be healthier because specifically, i want to age gracefully. i want to get the biggest, you know, chance i can to be a grandparent one day. okay? >> so be specific. find a buddy and connect to a why. and with your help, i think we can all hopefully stick to our resolutions. if anything a little bit longer. doctor stelter, thank you so much for your time. >> i think our director, josh,

has a really good recommendation , a quarterly resolution. that's right. >> quarterly resolutions are probably easier to keep, i think. yeah >> and that way you don't have, you know, one big failure. you just have. >> he's not even going to do it. he says, so we can do it together. he's inspired us to do it though. yeah. accountable >> we will keep each other accountable. i like that, yes. >> josh, here's a look at what's going on with our weather. i hope we can successfully see some fireworks tomorrow night because as you can see on the looping radar image, we have another massive clouds approaching us that will probably bring us some showers late tomorrow into tomorrow night. as you can see on the forecast animation. good chance. in the latter part of the day and then going into the evening. but it does appear that before midnight tomorrow night we can expect some clearing, so we might get a chance to see those fireworks after all. for tonight night. mainly cloudy skies overnight lows generally in the mid to upper 40. high temperatures tomorrow, mainly mid to upper 50s. maybe 1 or 2 locations will top out at 60 degrees tomorrow. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast

monday. new year's day. bright and sunny. nice start to the new year. tuesday clouds increase. wednesday a chance of rain. windy storm coming through a level one though on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. then partial clearing to mostly sunny on thursday, but it starts to cloud up again on friday with yet another wet weather system coming in next saturday. so one system like that every 2 or 3 days not so bad, you know, every single time i've worked new year's eve, this is the same forecast. just like like the movie groundhog day. >> yeah, exactly. exactly except new year's eve day. yes. year's eve day. yes, yes. all right. well let's get to chris now with another preview of sports. hi, chris. hey dion. >> coming up in sports, just two games left in the regular season for the 40 niners ahead. hour after the game. crew larry and mike preview 40 niners and commanders. sports is next

be good to go. now the 49 ers are in control of their own destiny. they're trying to lock up the number one seed and home field advantage in the nfc playoffs. now with a win over washington tomorrow and a win next weekend at home against the la rams san francisco will claim the nfc's top seed for the first time since the 2019 super bowl season. >> the reality of where we're at, you know, we're still, you know, number one seed. we've gotten here for a reason, not just by chance. and so to hear them, you know, say those cool things, it means a lot to me. but, um, you know, we're trying to win this week and take it one day at a time and we'll get to where we need to be. um by just being in the present. but i remember losing three in a row earlier in this week, earlier this year. >> and, uh, you know, our guys came back strong and it's the

same mentality every week. it's just about getting better every single day and executing on sunday. you got to get back to work, get right back to work. you know what i'm saying? like, we can't let this, you know, affect our confidence as a team. we know who we are. we got to come back on a short week and go on the road in a big game and find a way to win one game. >> it's all fun. but i mean, do you enjoy it in the moment and you just you're grinding, you're working, you're so locked in. it's you. i think you enjoy the process. you enjoy competing and you enjoy accomplishing accomplishing things together. so it's fun to go through all this stuff. we all enjoy what we do. so, um, but there's nothing easy about it. >> after being named the starter, washington quarterback jacoby brissett suffered a hamstring injury in practice. this week is now questionable for tomorrow. if he can't go, sam howell will get the start here. now our after the game crew larry and mike. >> so the cowboys 2019 victory over the lions actually helps the 49 ers dallas is 11 and five. the lions are 11 and five niners 11 and four. going into their game against washington. if they win their last two games beat the commanders then beat

the rams are playing really good football. niners would get the one seed and home field advantage. but let's talk a little bit about what unfolded at the end of this game. dan campbell you know he's a guy who likes to roll the dice. and this time you know he basically he rolled craps. and that's what happened. yeah. >> and everybody loves it. players love it when you have a coach that goes for it right. the riverboat gambler, the guy who is the go for it on fourth down guy. you love playing for that kind of guy because it means he has faith in you. he trusts you. however, the head coach gets paid as the head coach for a reason because he's trying to make the right decision for the team to strategically get you in position to win. and so going for it the first time, i'm down with that. you're on the road, you're getting ready for the playoffs. you believe in your team. so you go for it and then you get the penalty and i think you have to come back from that and say, hmm, now it's time to tie this game. but in the nfl, it's all about the flip of the coin, right? if you win the flip of the coin, you got a really good chance to win it. if you lose the flip a coin, there's a

good chance you're going to lose that game. dak prescott was hot. yeah jared goff had just gotten hot. and so i think he said our guy's hot. let's go with our guy right now. but that decision at that time especially leading into playoffs is key because right now going into playoffs you want to have momentum. you want to have confidence. having that faith in your team and losing that game that way. i think is a hiccup in momentum. >> all right. so the 40 niners going to try to regain momentum after losing to the ravens at washington, a team that's really down and out and struggling chase young revenge game traded mid-season. what is it like for a player because we build it up in the media, but to go against the team that traded you away, it's a little bit weird. >> and coaches tell you all the time, oh, it's in my old school, i know that or it's my old team, i know that, but it's really not that weird. you know, you do this all the time in football. it's weird. let me tell you. it's weird. and so you go back into the place where you used to wear the uniform, and you have to go play. and so it can be disorienting. it can do all kinds of things for you guys. and a defensive lineman is a lot

better because defensive line, you get pumped for a game, you get cranked. chase young can get cranked and go have a great game and crank some quarterbacks. >> that's right for washington. all right thank you chris. back to you. >> all right. thank you guys. college hoops usf hosting mississippi valley state jonathan mobo on the break and slams it home. dons up 15 early on. reigning wcc player of the week. it's malik thomas going to hit the triple right before the first half buzzer usf wins big 9242. not pictured santa clara lost to yale abc seven sports sponsored by river rock casino. dion thanks, chris. >> and a reminder you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it is available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku, all you got to do is download the app now and start streaming for free. and that's all the time we have everybody. i'm dionne lim. the
