looking to crack down on smoke shops, saying many are operating illegally. elected leaders also say there's too many smoke shops scattered around the city. abc seven news reporter anser hassan talks to critics who say cutting off businesses won't solve the problem. >> richmond's mayor says his city has the potential to become the east bay smoke shop capital, with 78 licensed tobacco retailers. >> that's too many, that is, too many smoke shops. >> muriel cromwell, a lifelong richmond resident, is a smoker who was parked outside of a smoke shop. but even she thinks the city can cut back. >> it would be a good idea because why would we have all these smoke shops? that's just making it, making people want to smoke and creating bad habits, to be honest. >> according to statistics provided by the city, there are more than two places to buy tobacco per square mile in richmond, mayor eduardo martinez is proposing a 45 day moratorium on new permits and licenses.

>> we need the moratorium so that we have the space and the time to look at all of the regulations, all of the rules that we have. >> this would impact smoke shops, lounges and tobacco retailers with provisions to extend the moratorium for up to almost two years. >> nothing is ever quite the way it seems in richmond. >> tom butt is the former mayor of richmond. he served 28 years on city council. he says the problem isn't the proliferation of smoke shops. it's regulation. >> some of them are unlicensed, unregistered uh. some of them are illegal. so the problem is not one of needing new legislation and needing moratoriums. the problem is getting the city council to fund the police department so they can start the regulatory unit back up again. >> in richmond, it's the police who license and regulate tobacco budget cuts. the police department meant cuts to the regulatory unit in documents prepared for the previous city council meeting, the city admits

to being behind on compliance. >> you know, sometimes these regulatory actions involve, you know, they involve arrests and that kind of thing. so, you need somebody who has the authority to do that and the experience doing it. so the police department's a good place for it to reside. >> the mayor's office did not respond to requests for comment, but butt believes more inspections of shops could lead to shops immediately being shut down, which would bring down the overall number. city council is expected to vote on the ordinance on april 16th in richmond, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> californians are getting better protections from hefty rent hikes. a new rule passed this week preventing landlords from raising rent by more than 10% in new low income housing. it's not mandatory for buildings that already exist or projects currently under construction. most existing low income units in the state will likely follow the rule anyway to get new tax credits on renovations or to

sell property later. right now, a stretch of highway one in capitola is closed because of construction. caltran says. crews are demolishing the capitola bridge. overcrossing the portion of the highway which is a little more than a mile, is closed until seven tonight. caltrans is telling people to take 101 to avoid this closure. in the north bay, a high speed chase turned into a hazmat threat. police say a driver trying to get away from officers hit nearly 110 miles an hour, right on highway 101, in santa rosa. the driver tried to exit onto petaluma boulevard but could not make the turn. the electric car crashed over the barrier and landed in the marsh. as you see here, that sent chunks of car battery on fire onto the road. >> this is not something we normally deal with. this is probably the first crash dive came out to where there was batteries in the road on fire. and so it's going to be an evolving uh- training, i guess,

for the legacy of slavery, and decades of policies that excluded and harmed black californians. one of the bills currently being considered is an apology to the black community. >> let's start with that apology . do you think that there is the political will here in the capitol to even get an apology passed? >> i think there is a will. i think we have a governor who understands the importance of apology now. and i hope our colleagues in the legislature, both in the assembly and the senate, will see the importance of that as well. >> if reparations in california stops there with the apology, what will it say to the people here in california? >> i'd say we're not serious. >> so why should californians be on the hook for reparations? you can find out and explore the journey of the first and only state level reparations task force in the abc seven originals documentary, see california's case for reparations. it is streaming on our abc seven streaming apps. >> we're just here to make sure

a total solar eclipse in the background is attracting even more visitors to this iconic spot. it is one of the prettiest places on the planet, one that attracts millions of visitors every year. and come monday niagara falls will not only be packed with people looking down at the water, but also up at the sky. >> my birthday and then the solar eclipse. this is a wonderful. >> the stars are lining up for you. yeah, well, technically it's not the stars, but rather the moon aligning itself between the earth and the sun. >> niagara falls is right in the middle of the path of totality, and the area is expected to be plunged into darkness shortly after 3 p.m, while the weather and cloud covering may not be certain, one thing is guaranteed there will be huge crowds. >> it could quite possibly be the biggest visitor day in niagara's history. >> hotels have been sold out for months and the city is bracing

for tens of thousands of day trippers who plan to drive into the area on monday, whether it be congestion of traffic, cellular network disruptions, and of course, our emergency medical services. >> we want everybody to be, on high alert as a result, niagara falls has declared a state of emergency that is already in effect. >> it's unfortunate it had to be called a state of emergency because we don't see it as that. we see it as a day of celebration, a celebration that everyone is hoping the weather will cooperate for >> and the weather that is key. so things are perfect today, but that is not going to be the case on monday. unfortunately, clouds will move in and that could be an issue for viewing the total solar eclipse. so at this point, we're all just hoping that we get the right break in the cloud cover at the perfect time. stephanie. well speaking of perfect brittany, i'm just in awe of the backdrop behind you.

>> it looks so stunning. i can't imagine a more beautiful place to watch the solar eclipse. what's been the mood so far in niagara falls? >> it's a very upbeat type of mood, even despite the fact that we could see clouds tomorrow. even this morning people have been out early just looking at the falls. just people just have the smile on their faces. they have great energy and they're just optimistic about tomorrow. even though there could be a chance that clouds could mix in. but at the very least, you still have this as a background on monday, despite what might happen with the cloud cover. stephanie. >> yeah, i was going to say it can't be that bad, right? it's beautiful. brittany thank you for your time this morning. well, we won't see full totality here in the bay area, but lisa has been tracking the path across the us. we've seen your map as you've been tracing it. >> about 34% here in the bay area is what we'll see. so you'll definitely notice it getting a little bit darker. i think. mexico four hours and 28 seconds. it will have the

longest totality. and then texas doing pretty well also, although as the reporter said, we're definitely getting into some cloud cover as we go through texas and up through the midwest. but here's a look at the path where you're going to see that total eclipse in on either side of it is where, you know, the eastern seaboard pretty good about 80% there. and then right on through the midwest, 80. and the further you get up towards oregon, about 20. but the skies will they'll be the clearest here in california. and notice the cloud cover from texas through kentucky. partly cloudy skies and then up through maine. so you'll definitely notice it getting darker, the temperatures dropping. and really right in the path of about 30 million people compared to 2017, where about 12 million people saw it. so a lot of people excited about that live doppler seven, where we're looking at mostly clear conditions and it wouldn't be a weekend in 2024 if we didn't talk about a chance of showers. right? we could even see a few

sprinkles out there today. 48 in san francisco, it is 45 in san jose, 44 for you in hayward, 41 oakland. that's chilly with 41 on the coast. cooler today. right now, half moon bay and from mount tam isn't that gorgeous? 645 is the official sunrise freezing in petaluma. 37 santa rosa, napa and fairfield, as well as livermore, 41, in concord and from our exploratorium camera nice start to the day. mostly sunny today. a few of those clouds in the afternoon, a couple degrees milder for some low 60s. as we get into your tuesday, you're really going to notice the difference even monday. but the warmer regime really gets going into tuesday, with above average temperatures. tomorrow will be about eight degrees warmer in some spots. and then as we get into wednesday and thursday, we're talking 80s, 10 to 15 degrees warmer. so if you're a fan of the warmth, you'll like that the end of the week though, it is going to get cooler. there's a look at later on today

where you'll notice that some of that green a few light showers isolated could visit us throughout the afternoon, but otherwise we're partly cloudy to mostly sunny. and then that sea breeze throughout the day today. anywhere from 15 to 20 miles an hour for most. but if you're at the coast, in fact gustier than that, there's our warm day on wednesday, some low 80s thursday, still staying quite mild but into friday. here's a look at the cooldown a big cooldown, and in fact, that's going to take us into the first part of the weekend. low 60s. today in oakland. a little bit cooler than average with 61 on the peninsula and fremont, 65 in santa rosa. and then overnight tonight, more 40s in the overnight lows are going to modify as well the accuweather seven day forecast. a lot of great sky viewing tomorrow. and then by tuesday the coast is cooler but 70s widespread 80s for the middle of the week. and then that cool down by the end

a train system. it relies not only on humans, but a floppy disk. abc seven news reporter luz pena tells us about the plans for this upgrade. reporter >> we may be in silicon valley, but what if i told you that san francisco's train control system is running off a floppy disk? >> wow. i mean, we i mean, i thought we were moving on to ai, right? so why are we doing floppy disk? >> great question. turns out that in 1998, sfo, mta had the latest cutting edge technology when they installed their automatic train control system from an era where computers did

not have hard drives and so you had to load the software on from floppy disks onto the computer. it's been 26 years, and every morning sfmta staff still relies on floppy disks to tell the trains how to operate. >> it's as if you lose your memory overnight, and every morning somebody has to tell you, hey, this is who you are and what your purpose is and what you have to do. today, we went underground where sfmta's train control project, public information officer gave us a tour of their system. >> so what's the role that floppy disk is playing right now ? >> floppy disk is one component of one system. the system that automatically controls our trains inside the subway. >> as if mta is train control system relies every morning on 3.5in floppy disks like this one. how dire is it to actually change the system to upgrade it from a floppy disk to a wireless system? >> so it's a question of risk.

the system is currently working just fine, but we know with each increasing year the risk of data degradation on the floppy disks increases, and that at some point there'll be a catastrophic failure. >> this system was designed to last 20 to 25 years. sfmta's executive director jeffrey tumlin said upgrading the system will take years, so the detailed project schedule will be finalized once we have a contractor on board, upgrading the system will improve reliability, something the team in the control room is tracking every day. so this is where you guys are watching everything happen. so once the upgrade happens, what will change here. >> so they'll be able to track the movements of trains and the operations of trains throughout the city much more easily, as do some of mta's youngest passengers. >> they grew up riding trains, but today was the first time they saw this relic. mom, what is this? >> uh? it's a hard disk. i don't

understand how something that big. >> it's something that small. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> as the mta says, the upgrade will be paid with state and federal grants, as well as muni's capital resources. >> in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, we have breaking news out of the middle east. israel says it has withdrawn troops from one area in gaza. this, as today marks a grim milestone in stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya.

wait till you see what is waiting you in our valleys. how about freezing in petaluma? 36 in santa rosa with 37 napa, fairfield, livermore and 41 in concord. so awfully chilly out there. even though this map shows it's a little bit warmer a couple degrees in some spots. it's going to take a minute to warm up, and we'll see those 50s about 9:00 in sunny conditions by the afternoon we've got a few clouds, maybe a few isolated showers. it's slightly warmer and the big warm up underway to start the workweek. we'll talk about it coming up. >> stephanie. lisa. thank you. we're following breaking news out of the middle east. the israeli military says it has withdrawn its ground forces from southern gaza. the idf did not give a reason for this withdrawal, but israeli forces remain in on other areas of the gaza strip. this comes as today marks six months since hamas launched a surprise terrorist attack in southern israel, and israel then declared war. more than a million palestinians, palestinian civilians left to

the city of rafah, where there's now a severe humanitarian crisis. un facilities report an average of 850 people sharing each toilet, and 3600 people sharing each shower unit. in rafah, the evacuees are collecting tents, tarps and blankets to build their own temporary shelters. as this morning cease fire talks continue in egypt. cia director william burns, israeli intelligence chiefs and hamas officials are expected to all attend. for months, hamas and israel have been trying to agree on terms for a hostage release in exchange for a cease fire in gaza. hamas is asking israel to release palestinian prisoners and allow more aid into gaza. today, israel is expected to reopen a northern border crossing to allow aid trucks to cross. coming up on abc's this week, we hear from world central kitchen founder chef jose andres. following the deadly airstrike that killed seven aid workers with his organization.

the question now is how will president joe biden respond? you can watch the full interview on this week at eight this morning right here on abc seven. this morning, russia declared a federal emergency after floods forced thousands of people to evacuate. it happened after a dam broke on friday in the orenburg area. the surge of water destroyed a total of 6300 homes, officials launched a criminal investigation into how the dam was built. back here at home, telephone captioning services enable millions of hearing impaired people to talk by phone. but they also can be a direct line for phone scammers. and as a bay area family found out captioning operators are required by law to type out every single word a caller says, even if it's a scammer swindling someone with disabilities without capital, she never would have been able to hear the caller. >> she never would have understood them, and she never

would have been scammed. >> donna badgett is still trying to understand why a telephone captioning service meant to help her mom also helped somebody scam her. i mean, i feel horrible because her hearing has been bad, so i bought it for her for a christmas gift, thinking i was doing her a favor. her 83 year old mother, judith, got the call one morning on her cell phone. her grandson was in jail. was she posting bail? judith had heard about grandma scams, but words on the screen made it seem real. >> she wouldn't have been frauded without it. >> the caller claimed to be a lawyer trying to get dui charges reduced. the captel operator silently typed every word the scammer said if you can post bail quickly, i can make sure it's a misdemeanor and not a felony, but you need to act quickly. >> can you get to your money today? what bank do you go to? he looked it up and he's like, oh, they open at 10:00. >> judith asked about her grandson. the operator typed the reply. he's a bit embarrassed and wants to keep this between you guys. he did suffer minor injuries. the airbag broke his

nose. they gave him five stitches. the captel operator typed out every word of the scammers instructions. are you back from the bank? >> did you get the cash? did you get the envelopes? >> the scammer said, get a nine by 12 manila envelope. you're going to put the envelope from the bank in the middle of two magazines, and then you're going to place it in the manila envelope like you're making a sandwich. a courier would pick up the money and quote, the driver doesn't know anything about the case. he's like an uber driver. leave me on the line and head outside. ask his name. give him the package. >> my mom put the phone down, went outside, delivered the money, and then he called back like an hour and a half later. oh, i have bad news. the woman that was in the car with him was pregnant. she lost the baby. >> the scammer wanted more money from judith. supposed for the woman's medical expenses. >> you need to go get more envelopes. go back to the bank, get the cash after the fact. >> the family got the call log and could see every word the scammer said. >> i read a couple the first time. i mean, it's just so

disheartening. >> donna was furious. the cattle operators did not try to stop the scam, and she says effectively assisted in a crime. >> i mean, they are transcribing fraudulent calls. >> they enabled her to get scammed, but the cattle company hamilton relay services says federal law makes it illegal for transcribers to intervene in any call, even if it's a scam. >> the operators must serve as, quote, invisible conduits without censoring, altering or interfering in any way with personal and private communications. fcc rules and the americans with disabilities act require that captioning services provide the same rights of privacy afforded to hearing phone users who expect no one is listening in on their calls. >> i said, can't you even say, you know? please note we think this is a scam. >> donna can't believe it was illegal for the company to notify her that her mom was being swindled, or even to stop typing the scammers instructions. >> i think things have to change

. the fcc has to make these changes like have an emergency contact on the account or alert the local police on line forms among caption operators show some disagreement about their role, should they have discretion to intervene in troubling calls, where would they draw the line? >> what if a caller was threatening physical violence? right now, the law says they may not step out of their invisible role. if you have served as a transcriber for the hearing impaired, we'd like to hear from you. if you have a consumer issue seven on your side wants to hear from you. you can send us your stories online at abc seven news.com. just click on seven on your side. still ahead. this morning, excitement building ahead of the total solar eclipse. how bay area residents and tourists are getting ready for this rare event. and we'll take you outside for a live look from our exploratorium camera. looking at the bay bridge with that stunning sunrise.
