of san francisco international airport for more than three hours this morning. part of the off ramp to the international terminal was impacted, along with two security checkpoints. abc seven news reporter suzanne vaughan has a look at what happened. they sang, they clapped, they drummed of protesters shut down part of the international terminal at san francisco airport to get their message across. today here's how things looked from sky seven. we cannot stand idly anymore. demonstrators say it was part of a global day of action to demand a permanent ceasefire in gaza and an end to u.s. financial support for israel military travelers, flight crews, people coming and going through the area got a taste of detours and delays, and they blocked the roads. >> so we stuck there for almost 25 minutes. >> i think it's just a noise. people i understand the issue, but i don't think it's the right way to do it. >> demonstrators say the airport protest was about forcing people

to take notice. >> we know that there's people that were inconvenienced. we want to make sure that we have our message be heard loudly and clearly. >> airport officials say passengers were rerouted from the international terminal to other terminals. a large number of uniformed officers were also on standby. >> we also took advantage of our airtrain light rail system. we set up a remote drop off area for passengers that might normally be coming to the international terminal. >> some travelers say the minor inconveniences they faced are worth it for the greater cause. >> this should be happening. we need some sort of reform, so i think this is a good thing to protest. >> according to law enforcement, there were 100 demonstrators at each one of the gangee a and there were a bunch more demonstrators just outside international terminal. at the end of the day, airport officials say things ended peacefully. no one was arrested and no flights were delayed at san francisco airport. suzanne vaughn abc seven news a scare earlier today at willow glen

high school in san jose, a report that a student brought a weapon on campus led to a lockdown. police responded to the scene and during their investigation, detained a student and recovered a b-b gun. the lockdown was lifted just after 2 p.m, and parents were allowed to take their students home. >> all right, turning now to last week's primary election and some races are still too close to call. >> yes, second place in the 16th district congressional race is now at a razor thin margin. sam liccardo is in the lead. he'll be one of the two candidates in november's general election. >> now for second place, joe simitian is ahead of evan low. but by only 162 votes. abc7 news south bay reporter zach fuentes tracking the race for us. hi, zach. >> hey, guys. yeah, all of the eligible mail in ballots have been received, and the count is underway. and in this race, for second place, every vote is definitely going to matter. i got to hear from some of the candidates and a political expert about what happens next. sam liccardo, evan low and joe simitian have been leaders in

the race for the district 16 congressional seat. the spot is opening up for the first time in more than 30 years, as representative anna eshoo retires with liccardo leading low in simitian by a relatively wide margin. the associated press already called the election in his favor, but the battle for second place is far from over. whoever wins will advance to november's runoff to run against liccardo. liccardo says he's grateful to be in the lead and says the tight race for second place shows the importance of voter turnout. >> the reality is decisions are going to be made for you if you're not making the decisions, so i encourage everybody to get out there and vote in november because as we're sitting here from this march election, this is going to be decided by a very small number of votes, whoever my opponent is. >> simitian was confident on election night, we are clearly in the top two, but now it's not so clear. >> what we're seeing now is a little bit of the votes that come in later. those those last minute procrastinators who who get their ballots in, you know, at the last minute, more likely

to be younger voters, less engaged voters. and that seems to be trending toward evan low. >> in a statement released tuesday, simitian said every vote counts and every vote has to be counted. that's the nature of our process and that's as it should be. having said that, we were in the top two on election night and have been every day since, so i'm confident and optimistic, but we'll wait for the results. evan low also issued a statement that said in part to me, no matter the ultimate outcome, the closeness of this race shows that your vote truly matters. your vote can have a real impact on who represents your community. depending on how close the votes end up being between the two candidates, professor of political science melinda jackson said one of them could request a recount that they would have to pay for if it goes in their favor, then they get paid back. >> we don't have an automatic recount process in california where when it's within a certain margin, it's automatically triggered for a recount. so i think it depends how close it is at the end of the day, whether either these candidates will choose to do that.

>> now remember, this congressional district spans multiple communities, different counties. and in santa clara county alone, the registrar tells me they still have 17,000 vote by mail ballots to count to process in both santa clara county and san mateo counties have until april 4th to finalize some of those official results. the california secretary of state is going to certify the election results april 12th, so a lot of things still coming in as they determine who is going to be in second place right now, live in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right. they've got a ways to go then. thank you. zach. the only statewide measure on the ballot is also too close to call right now. proposition one would use billions in bonds to provide housing for the homeless and the mentally ill. currently, it is at 50.1. yes. the number of yes votes outnumbers no votes by about 10,000 at this point. wow >> san jose mayor matt mehan has revealed his march budget message. it includes a lot of time, money and resources aimed

at addressing homelessness. the budget for the next fiscal year includes a $52 million shortfall. mayor mehan says it's going to cost about $25 million for storm water permit requirements, which tied directly to homelessness. the city has to move all citizens who are currently living in encampment along waterways because of pollution risks or face steep fines from the epa. >> frankly, what it means is trade offs. it means getting much more pragmatic with your tax dollars so that we don't simply move people out of our creeks and onto your streets, mehan says. >> besides addressing homelessness, the biggest budget priorities are rebuilding the police department, cleaning up the city and making it easier to bring jobs and housing to san jose. the march budget proposal will be voted on at next week's city council meeting, citing safety concerns and a lack of dialog. >> a san mateo county supervisor is slamming the state for allowing waymo to operate in the county. earlier this month, the california public utilities commission, which oversees those

driverless pilot programs, allowed waymo to expand on the peninsula. supervisor david canepa says. this week, the county sent a letter to the cpuc challenging that decision. he cites safety concerns. he says the county has not had the opportunity to discuss with waymo. canopus says the cpuc had up to four months to make a decision on the expansion, but the review process took only 11 days. >> turning now to the weather. i think i like what i'm seeing, except i don't know about what i'm feeling because it's going to be kind of windy. >> windy, but more i mean, this is it's beautiful. based on what we've had the past few weeks. sandhya, i know the warm up is coming, but first the wind. >> yeah, you know what? we're going to have to deal with the wind. >> larry and kristen, let me show you the current temperatures. we're already pushing close to 70 degrees in napa, fairfield, brentwood. so it's just a beautiful day. it is certainly warmer. and that warming trend is going to continue. as we look at a live picture from our emeryville

>> today's slide catching the neighborhood by surprise. residents stunned to see such a big chunk of the hills coming down here and worried what could come next. >> i'm concerned about the mudslides and my retaining wall and the house above me. so just in case, i mean, i'm just taking out my valuables at the house. >> officials blaming the slide on all the rain we've seen this winter. the last few days have been dry, but the hillsides, they say, are still saturated. the soil is like a sponge. >> it sucks up all that rain and it takes a long time for that to dissipate and dry out. so we always advise people in the canyons and in the hills to use caution. rob hayes, abc seven news. >> coming up on abc seven news at four. is it really the end of tiktok? one step closer now to a possible ban here in the us, preventing overdoses? the bay area agency highlighted by the biden administration and a celebration in the east bay after the decision to return

states. >> that's more than half the american population. >> i use tiktok a lot. i kind of just like, keeps me informed. >> it helps me be aware of more activism as well as like issues going on in the community. >> lawmakers on capitol hill say their issue is not with tiktok. they say they're concerned about bytedance, a company in china, and its ties to the chinese government. lawmakers say bytedance could share user data with the chinese government, and china could control what americans see and do not see on their phones. >> tiktok is owned by bytedance, bytedance is in china, and when you're in china, you have to do whatever the chinese communist party says you have to do. a tiktok spokesperson says they have never shared user information with the chinese government. >> this is a pandora's box. what's to stop congress or the united states government in the future? from forcing the sale of another social media company, claiming that it's protecting americans data from foreign adversaries? >> the bill now goes to the senate. if it passes there, it

heads to the president to sign into law. >> if they pass it, i'll sign it. >> senate majority leader chuck schumer says he will review the bill he has not committed to putting up for a vote just yet. top senate intelligence leaders are pushing for a vote, citing the national security threats. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> and south bay congressman ro khanna says he believes the potential ban goes too far. >> this is blatantly unconstitutional and i don't think the courts would uphold it. and the reason is if the sale didn't happen, it goes to a ban. the supreme court has said it has to be the least restrictive alternative. when you look at a free speech, which 170 million americans free speech is at impact, and we could have said that there should have been financial penalties if there isn't a divestiture. we should have said that we need a strong data privacy bill, but to ban it, i, i don't think survives. i think it would be struck down 9 to 0 by the supreme court. i believe that china's ccp poses a threat. let's focus on what they can do

to invade taiwan and make sure that we have naval superiority. let's focus on making sure our steel and our manufacturing is brought back home and not have a trade deficit, but this is not the top concern when you look at the chinese communist party, and it's going to affect the lives of many americans, there were 50 folks, influencers and creators in my office. they're not 20 and 30 year olds. these were 40, 50 year olds. biden supporters, trump supporters are using this as small business, and i think there are going to be a lot of people very upset. >> well, the bill goes to the senate now for a vote, a milestone today for the presidential election. >> president joe biden and former president donald trump have officially secured enough delegates to be considered the presumptive nominees. the designation allows the candidates to coordinate directly with the national democratic and republican parties. they aren't considered official nominees until the summer convention, as a judge in georgia has dismissed some of

the election interference charges against former president trump. three of the 41 charges against mr. trump were dropped, and three more against other defendants in the case were dropped as well. those dropped charges all involve soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. the order does not mention the ethics allegations against fulton county da fani willis ruling on that is expected by the end of the week. >> state leaders are considering several suggestions that could give financially strapped news organizations across california a cash infusion. the senate committee on revenue and taxation is looking at adding an ad sales tax and also considering providing tax credits to some of those news operations. the committee held a hearing today to look at some of the factors that have led to what many call a journalism crisis. >> increasingly, communities have no independent source of local news. now, that has created a vacuum, and that

vacuum has been filled by those who seek to use misinformation and in some cases, conspiracy theories, to confuse and manipulate our residents. >> one expert at today's hearing estimates there's been a 68% drop in the number of journalists in california since 2005, and 160 newspapers have closed in that time. >> coming up fast changes coming to fast food restaurants and why dog brain could be a compliment, i'm not sure for whom, but

fast food restaurants that are closing their dining rooms out of crime concerns. but the question now is, is there a bigger shift that's happening here? chick fil a has announced two new concepts. they're testing a pickup only restaurant in new york and a drive thru only in atlanta. mcdonald's, wingstop, taco bell, even ihop are testing similar ideas. i'm not sure how you do the drive thru with the pancakes at ihop, but it's a little messy. yeah, it can be, dan, you think this is mostly about safety or just making it easier for people to get in and out? you know, i think it's probably both. >> just take a guess at it. safety. certainly. we saw what's happened in oakland where they're concerned about customers and employees in areas

where there have been some significant crime. but it's also an interesting experiment because think about it, you need less square footage. if you don't have a dining room, you need fewer employees. if you don't have a dining room. so it may be a more efficient, cost effective way to do business. although not everybody wants to take it in their car and eat in their car or go to their destination. so i think you might lose as much as you gain in some respects. >> yeah. sandy, what do you think? >> yeah, i mean, i agree with dan, it is a cost cutting move. but if some people like to just go out and sit down and have a nice meal, you know, it's going to be tougher, that's for sure. they might not go there anymore. yeah. >> i've seen this recently with some starbucks locations as well. and that's too bad because i think there can be a sense of community there when you have like a coffee place culture, so we'll see. >> and i want to see anybody eating pancakes, driving, trying to cut their. >> i have done that with one of my kids, believe it or not. >> well, wait a second. oh hold on officer. yeah they're getting cold. >> i wasn't driving and feeding her when they were younger. we

were on a road trip and she wanted pancakes, so i had to figure out something clever to put the pancakes in her lap so she can cut them and eat them. and she was clean. excellent. yeah. >> macgyver. patel. all right, now, to some wedding etiquette. a woman was asked to be a bridesmaid, and after saying yes, learned that it was going to be $8,000 for her to go to that destination wedding. on getting answers today, we asked etiquette expert nick layton for his assessment. >> and i think so often we work backwards. we start with the destination some far north boreal circle scandinavian destination that we forget. oh, who can we cram in there rather then? who are my friends, who i really want there on that special day? and what kind of event can they actually afford to attend? >> see, that is such a good idea. and nick added, the planning process should start with the guest list and then go from there. it's like if you know the people you all love and want to be there, can't afford this stuff. why are you like saying hey? oh, by the way, $8,000. >> yeah, that's a little bit of

a bait and switch. you know? hey, i'm a romantic, but i'm not a big fan of the destination wedding, you know, save that for your honeymoon. go the destination. it's a lot to ask people. not only the expense, but traveling to parts unknown, taking the time off and getting there. it's a little inconvenient. i think for a lot of people, it gets really expensive. >> also, to celebrate somebody else's wedding. i mean, unless you could turn it into your own vacation, but still it gets really pricey, playing with puppies might help you relax. turns out that spending time with dogs can help strengthen brainwaves associated with reducing stress. a small study by researchers in south korea asked people to engage with dogs, interact with them. participants were then asked about their emotional state. the result heightened attention, concentration and relaxation. we need some dogs in the newsroom, man. that's that's that's we do. >> i saw a quote recently. >> i don't know that this is true, but it said people don't

deserve dogs because dogs are so wonderful. but you know, not surprising. that's why dogs are so fantastic. they do have all of those qualities that that just delight us. >> and also, you see on college campuses during finals, they bring in animals and, you know, the kids can just relax for a few minutes. and it just it is. >> yeah. >> sometimes your mind off things. >> other times it's llamas. have you guys seen those. yeah. >> oh yeah. oh yeah. >> they're apparently very comfy . i always would try to get the dog to take the test for me, but that didn't work out. >> oh that explains a lot. >> yeah, yeah it does doesn't it. >> that's very good. and look at where that's gotten you dan i walked right into that. >> yeah. >> now to some video that could be considered both cute and terrifying. the staff at a virginia wildlife center went the extra mile to help an orphaned red fox. uh. they donned a furry fox mask during feeding time. the goal is to help prevent imprinting on a human. they hope to eventually reunite the kit with its mother.

i mean, okay, this is taking the whole furries concept a little too far. >> yeah, especially for the young kids. i could see how they would be like, oh my god, it's a little scary. >> i mean, i wish we could have asked the kid, hey, are you freaked out by this? but you know, it. it can't really explain to us. well, so you just have to. >> it seems like the baby just wants to eat more. i don't even know if they realize that the fake fox is there or what's going on, but that's. >> it's interesting. i've never seen. >> i would not have thought of that. >> but it's the baby could be thinking they're not trying to pass this off as a real fox, are they? >> you would think they're just a sense of smell, that they would know the difference. but although it's a clever idea. >> yeah. i'm sorry, i was seeing that will make me want to imprint on a human and not a fellow fox. >> get your halloween costume and your

history month. today we talk to women about their influence on the arts in the bay area. the artistic director of theatreworks silicon valley and the co-founder of san francisco playhouse talked with abc7 news anchor kumasi aaron on our streaming 7 a.m. newscast about the impact of the arts. >> it's a place where people can come and relax and learn stories about other walks of life, and find out that they have more in common than they have different. and that has resonated through the years. so we're just incredibly grateful. >> i think the thing i'm most

proudest of is how many people, i've been able to uplift and employ through being a director of new works, how many opportunities i've been able to give. and i mean, i feel like i sit in theaters sometimes, like an italian grandma going, i gave them their equity card, or we helped launch that play. and so i think the most important thing we can do is remember that it's a theater community and we're uplifting each other and supporting each other and creating opportunities. speaking of the arts, there's a new exhibit at san francisco's de young museum capturing a glamorous side of photography that may be lost in the in the age of selfies. >> yes, it's the work of a single photographer able to convince everyone from dock workers to celebrities, to members of a famous motorcycle club to sit for portraits. >> abc seven news anchor karina nova takes a look back. >> pen was very sensitive to the

sort of set up in some ways, walking through the irving penn exhibit is like taking a magazine cover tour of 20th century america, from the glitzy postwar fashion layouts for vogue magazine to the celebrity portraits that helped define his work, everyone from a soulful pablo picasso to a shy, smiling audrey hepburn to an exotic and distant marlena dietrich. >> jeff rosenheim is curator with the metropolitan museum of art, which loaned the penn collection. >> he traveled the world with his camera, but in new york he was able to explore people who were coming through the city. he was in the right place at the right time. he was a master technician. the pictures are amazing. he was a great image maker, but he was a splendid object maker. but in the 1960s, penn turned his lens on san francisco and the summer of love, capturing formal group portraits of bands like the grateful dead with big brother and the holding company, and giving middle america its first look at san francisco's hippies,

complete with young families. >> i love this portrait such sensitivity, with which penn captures their connections. >> the young curator emma acker says. penn was even able to coax members of the hells angels motorcycle club into his formal backdrop by giving them easy access to a studio in sausalito. >> he actually told them to ride on up the freight elevator of the building on their bikes and immediately begin posing, and he described them as coiled springs ready to fly loose and make trouble. and he said he breathed a huge sigh of relief when their screaming bikes went down the road. but he's really sort of contained them in this space, and there's this wonderful sense of energy and defiance. >> in the end, it's a century of american life, captured with the technical precision and relaxed formality of a portrait photographer whose work reflects its energy across the decades.
