campaign. but it's not necessarily a sign that trump's in trouble. and tonight, of course, behind me, the golden gate bridge beside me. >> alcatraz. so many people say what an iconic place to see the president. now we know that this is the president's third trip to san francisco in the past six months. the last time he was here was in november for the apec summit. that's the latest live here in san francisco. marina green, back to you. >> all right, suzanne, thank you. >> all right. turning now to the weather. we're still seeing some clouds. that's what greeted president biden as he arrived at sfo. but the rain is definitely winding down. >> thankfully, spencer christian here with the first look at the forecast. blue skies and sun. >> yes, the skies are getting bluer, larry. and the sun is becoming more prominent, more visible in the sky. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see little patches of light scattered showers around the bay area right now. pull back and give you a wider view and you can see how they are winding down so there's still enough left in this storm to give it a

control right now. um, there's a shortage of policing. there's a shortage of quality relationships between merchants, between citizens, between people walking on the street. >> while many of the protesters say they were out here for several reasons, one of the main ones they tell us is that the city of oakland lost other grant money last year. that happened back in september, when the east bay city lost millions of dollars in other public safety funding after it failed to submit an application to the state on time. the blunder received heavy criticism. >> um, the money just based is being handed out to us, waiting us to file some paperwork. i mean, how hard is that in 2023, data shows a spike in violent crimes, vehicle thefts and robberies in oakland, with everything going on. >> mayor tao says grants like these are one way to help stop the violence. >> over the past year, we have invested in a robust police department and placed more police officers on the street to conduct patrols and special operations in oakland.

that we were paying to get our kids in a safe school, it's hard because we take our our children to another school and then we're told that they're not at grade level. the oakland diocese is assuring families that it will help them find alternative or alternate catholic schools for their children to attend. >> the state pressing the pause button on expanding waymo's driverless taxis into san mateo and los angeles counties. >> abc seven news reporter lena howland spoke with officials about why they wanted to slow the waymo drive down. >> we pump the brakes on waymo. >> after hearing of waymo's request to the california public utilities commission to expand to other counties, san mateo county sent a letter to the cpuc protesting this expansion, citing a lack of communication. but at the end of the day, they need to do a better job really communicating. >> and i think one of the issues that we had as a county was

there issue on communicating with our fire department, communicating with our sheriff. >> on tuesday, the consumer protection and enforcement division, which serves as the enforcement arm of the cpuc, said the expansion of waymo into both san mateo and los angeles counties has been suspended for up to 120 days from the end of the initial review period on february 20th, for the following reason. advice letter requires further staff review. san mateo county supervisor david canepa noted a number of safety incidents in san francisco, including when he says a waymo vehicle stopped on a fire hose during a fire, and when one drove through the yellow tape at a crime scene and most recently when a waymo was vandalized and set on fire in chinatown during a lunar new year celebration. >> my greatest concern was on highway 101, where speeds are at 65 to 75 miles an hour. if you're having issues with them in an urban setting at 15 to 25

miles an hour, what thinks that you can expand that technology and make it safe for others? at 65 to 75 miles an hour, and in the next 120 days, moving forward, canepa says he's hoping waymo can establish better lines of communication with the county. but we need to make sure our and hold accountable that those who are moving forward, this technology, that they make it safe for people. >> waymo says their services in san francisco are not impacted by this decision. in san mateo county, lena howland abc seven news. in a statement to abc seven news, waymo said it's actually standard for regulators to automatically issue a suspension for further review on any advice letter. >> they say a 2022 advice letter seeking to provide service to san francisco was also similarly suspended before eventually being approved. >> seeking justice a domestic violence survivor comes forward to help others. changing amber alerts why may soon not just before missing kids anymore. a

as needed beds, we don't know that meaning we apply by for a placement. >> the facility accepts or doesn't accept, and we don't track if they're not accepting. >> when it comes to getting treatment. beds san francisco competes with other counties for access. >> the competition is fierce. we have never replaced the state mental hospitals that have been closed. there's there are these private facilities that are sort of providing that service, but there aren't nearly enough of those beds for the needs of all the counties. and of course, san francisco has a lot of need. >> the salvation army's harbor light center has 136 beds. the city funds 65 of those beds. they they are urging the public health department to pay for more treatment. beds within the city. >> we have basically beds open that the city could purchase today. >> you're saying they're empty. >> they're empty. if they chose to do that, we could then fill

know what i'm saying? >> good point. yeah. >> point. all right. for the first time, apple is officially advising against putting wet iphones in rice. what i've done that it's a common remedy for rescuing water. it works right? i agree, and they say so too. but in a recently published support document, apple says don't put your iphone in a bag of rice. doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your phone. that's what i was thinking. >> okay, here if you're putting the phone in rice, there's a reason. and the reason is the phone isn't working because it got wet. so now you're telling me it's not going to work worse if i put i agree rice is thinking the same thing. >> he can't. it's not going to get any worse. >> yeah. i mean you're going to end up having to get rid of the phone anyway. you can trade it in whatever you're going to do. >> and i've done it and it, it, it hasn't always worked, but it has worked. yeah. you know, it sucks up the moisture from the phone. >> yeah. yeah. >> but the phone is, is

basically like a door stop if it doesn't work. so whether there's rice in it or there's no rice in it, right. >> yeah. >> maybe, maybe they just want you to buy another phone. >> maybe you think dan oh my god, dan's onto them. >> but yeah larry, you had nothing to lose at that point, you know. >> and yeah, just broken. >> anyway. >> yeah. use large grain rice though. yeah okay. >> all right. >> we'll turn this whole thing around. all right. now to a new trend in coffee. starbucks is offering pork flavored corn free right now. it's only available in china. it was released to mark the lunar new year. according to starbucks, the drink has a braised pork flavor sauce with espresso, steamed milk and pork breast meat for garnish. dan, how many? how many do you want? >> yes. sign me up for what is an extra? extra small? yeah, yeah. >> if i wanted that flavor, i would order a pork chop. >> yeah, exactly, exactly. >> that's good marketing. that doesn't sound regular coffee to wash it down. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah. >> kristen. any thoughts? um, i

just think that a little bit of saltiness in your latte could actually make it good. >> not sure about pork, but you know what i mean by, like, a few grains of salt or something. >> i mean, pork is a strong flavor, and i don't know, it just doesn't seem like it. yeah, it goes together. >> yes. oh, that's right. i was just reminded of our salt taste test. remember how it made the coffee smoother? yeah. that's right. remember when you put it in coffee? >> but this is takes away the bitterness. >> this is not that or this. it would be the extreme version of that. >> two lumps of sugar will take away the bitterness to, uh, nothing will take away our bitterness, though. >> yeah. uh, all right, that's it for the four at four. we want to talk about those cable bills some more. dan
