festival on october 7th in israel. but on wednesday, a heavily edited video of a man identifying himself as 24 year old hirsch was released on a hamas run telegram channel. >> seeing a video of hirsch today is overwhelming. we're relieved to see him alive, but we are also concerned about his health and well-being. >> hirsch, his parents, john poland and rachel goldberg, say they want the world to see this video. they are now putting out a desperate plea to all leaders involved in negotiating the hostage situation. >> be brave. lean in. seize this moment and get a deal done to reunite all of us with our loved ones, and to end the suffering in this region. >> according to the video, hirsch's left arm has been amputated at the forearm. his parents told abc news just days after the october 7th attack that he suffered a serious injury to that arm before being captured. >> it's very clear how terribly treated the hostages have been by hamas. the idea and thought

that they could come home alive, or at least some of them, still is a wonderful thing and a good thing. over the passover holiday, when families generally come together. >> mark levine, regional director of the anti-defamation league and former state assembly member, says he's relieved to know hirsch may still be alive. but he says as long as hamas is in power, hostages won't be released. >> this war could come to an end as soon as hamas surrenders and releases the hostages in a briefing on wednesday, the u.s. state department said they can't verify the video's authenticity, but hirsch's mom made her feelings about it clear. >> we heard your voice today for the first time in 201 days, and if you can hear us, i am telling you we are telling you we love you. stay strong. >> survive in berkeley. lena howland abc seven news. >> the number of tents set up at a protest encampment on sproul plaza at uc berkeley has grown

to around 70. participants are calling this the free palestine camp, and have called on the university of california to divest from companies that have stakes in israel. students say they are willing to risk being expelled from cal and arrested by police. university officials say the encampment is peaceful and that there are no plans to change uc's investments in los angeles. tensions on the issue boiled over at the university of southern california. public safety officers clashed with students during a gaza solidarity occupation protest on campus. the protests attracted both students and outsiders. >> i think it's important to be able to hear our young people voicing their opinion, their opinions and their feelings, and that they and i feel good to be able to participate because it's so saddens me to hear of so many lives being lost. >> it makes me feel threatened and intimidated. and i think that the anti-semitic rhetoric must be condemned by the university now. >> in response, usc has closed

the campus and only people with school identification, or those who have business on the property are allowed to enter university grounds with these police officers. a live look, though, at usc right now where police are on campus, you can see a lot of people there. usc actually tweeted that lapd would be clearing the campus, and we've seen some little scuffles break out here. apparently, those who don't leave will be arrested. that's what the lapd uh- has said. usc has tweeted it. you can see the police there in their riot gear. it looks like somebody just threw some sort of liquid. i can see a photographer in the crowd there as well. and if you look to the right hand side of your screen, you can see the police pushing back some people off to the side under that awning. i see more liquid being thrown from bottles of water or what have you, other people are just calmly walking along again. i see crews, video crews in the crowd as well. some people running away, top left. this is all happening live at the university of california.

again. usc tweeted that the lapd would be clearing the campus, so that is what they are working on doing now. anyone who does not leave will be arrested. nothing too too violent that we have seen at this point. but again, police are trying to get people out of the scene, out of the area right now. so we will continue to keep an eye on this, let you know if anything more develops. >> stay tuned for more on that as we bring that to you. live at cal poly. humboldt protests like this one earlier this week led administrators to close the campus and switch to remote learning through the weekend. administrators say two buildings are being occupied by protesters. conditions inside have deteriorated, with many toilets no longer working. among other issues, a protesters are demanding the state college divest from israeli companies and schools from coast to coast are shutting down and moving classes online because of safety concerns, as pro-palestinian protests grow and intensify, columbia university in new york

jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone. the cherished traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies. they place a target on the backs of jewish students. >> protesters demanding colleges divest from companies. they say profit from ties to israel. >> we're not planning on packing up and going home. we are here because people in palestine are going through so much worse. >> columbia university is in negotiations with student protesters. both sides say they are making progress. talks will continue over the next two days. reena roy, abc news, new york. >> california's former superintendent of schools dylan easton, has died. her representatives posted the news on facebook today. easton served in the california state assembly, representing portions of the bay area, before serving as state superintendent from 1995 to 2003. dylan easton was 76 years old. >> community support is growing for a baker at a beloved san francisco donut shop who was

for the china based company bytedance to divest in tiktok or face a us ban. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains what this may mean for the tech world. >> make no mistake, this is a ban, a ban on tiktok and a ban on you and your voice. >> despite attempts in the past, this is a ban that now has a clear path forward with national security in mind. president biden signed a bipartisan bill that would require tiktok parent company bytedance to divest of the app or face a nationwide ban that blocks updates and future downloads until tiktok essentially disappears. congressman ro khanna has been against the ban. >> from the start, i thought that the ban on it was overbroad. let's ban the chinese communist party from interfering in algorithms. let's ban our data from going to china. but don't ban the speech of americans, 170 million users and 7 million businesses use tiktok in the united states, and the company is growing.

>> our partners at the bay area news group report that bytedance, which already has leases on coleman avenue, is subletting more space along the coleman highline for tiktok offices in san jose. a ban would leave these employees without a job, but tech expert ahmed ben arfa says tiktok silicon valley neighbors may stand to benefit. it's going to be a boost for uh- the other social media, because now the user is going to start switching to the other social media, but it's not going to happen overnight. the bill gives china based bytedance no more than 12 months to sell the company before a ban, and a legal battle would extend that timeline. a fight tiktok ceo chau chu intends to have. >> rest assured, we aren't going anywhere. we are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts, the facts and the constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again. >> csu east bay professor of communications nolan higdon says tiktok has fared well in the courts in the past, but this may not be the government's final attempt at regulation. higdon

says this is the latest example of the biden administration targeting big tech, and it may not be the last. >> as we know, there are a lot of bills sitting in congress right now, many of which are expected to come up this year, so this could be the start of something big in big tech. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> an unusual race, unusual results. next, a live update on the recounts to break the tie between two candidates from california's march primary. the race to represent thousands of bay area people in congress is down to a handful of votes, plus predictions for this year's fire season. >> how will our recent winter storms affect our risk of wildfire? i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. windier weather and the possibility of sprinkles in the forecast will go hour by hour. >> coming up when a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks?

where police are on campus, you can see a lot of protesters there with signs ufc tweeted that lapd would be clearing the campus. those who do not leave will be arrested. ed zooming out now and moving to a different location. there have been some physical confrontations between protesters and police. we've seen lots of water bottles being thrown. we are keeping an eye on this situation. this is because of the gaza solidarity occupation protest, which drew a big crowd, both students and outsiders. so as we take a look at the different locations, you can see there are still a lot of folks out there. but campus is officially closed, so police are coming in to move people out as

usc tweeted that the police would be clearing. anyone who doesn't leave will be arrested. we saw some police in riot gear pushing people back toward where that awning is on the right hand side of your screen. haven't seen any major violence at this point, but we are keeping a close eye on it and we'll bring you any new developments as they develop throughout this newscast at usc, one of so many campuses experiencing these protests that have intensified and grown in recent days. >> well, the recount process is winding down today in silicon valley, and the congressional race that ended in a tie. three candidates are moving on to the general election unless the recount finds different results. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has been following the process from the start. he's live in our san jose bureau with more on where things stand now. zach, it's close again. >> it is close again. dan and so far not much of a change, but this is not over yet. votes in this race are being counted both in san mateo and santa clara counties, and both of those counties telling me today that they're just about to wrap up this overall recount process.

but there are still more than a dozen ballots that need some more verification. all this is part of what they're calling a complicated but very thorough process. as the primary race for the district 16 congressional seat has led to unprecedented results, we ended up with two candidates exactly tied for second place, this means that that three people would go to the runoff in november instead of two. >> the initial results of the primary showed that sam liccardo was in a distant first place to move on to november, with evan lo and joe simitian tied for second place. but a request for a recount came soon after the election. certification that request came from jonathan padilla, according to his linkedin profile. he was a policy and finance director for liccardo's 2014 san jose mayoral campaign. he requested the recount on behalf of low. lo's campaign said they're not connected with him, insisting padilla is acting on behalf of liccardo's campaign. liccardo's team is also not claimed. a current association with padilla . >> it's unclear exactly, you know, if there's been any

coordination between the front runner for sam liccardo and the person requesting the recount, but that's kind of how the political dynamics shape up in this case that the person who actually came in first, might like to have a two person race rather than a three person race in november, the person requesting the recount has to pay for it. >> but now, because of the unusual circumstances in this three person race, the requester will not be refunded no matter the result. >> in this situation, one of the election codes actually says that you cannot get a refund if the two candidates were entitled to be on the ballot in november, and both of them qualify to be on the ballot in november, so there's no refund. >> san mateo county tells us that it's had around 16 ballots that are challenged, and they're working with the us postal service to determine if the ballots were sent by the election day deadline and can count. still, as far as rescanning the ballots that are not in question, both counties say they expected to have that done by wednesday. >> there's a lot of pieces to it

that people think is such an easy process, but a lot of steps to it behind the scenes, and we want to make sure that we do every single thing efficient. >> now, i spoke with san mateo county just about an hour ago. they told me that they are done re scanning all the ballots that they know can be re scanned, but it's those challenge ballots that they still have to work through and determine whether or not they can count, pending the verification from the us postal service. they say they hope to have that done within a couple of days. right now live in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news thank you zach. >> the 2024 wildfire season should be a mild one. if the newly released annual forecast from accuweather is correct, their meteorologists expect the season to be below historical average in terms of the number of fires and number of acres burned. they're also expecting the season to start later here in the west. because of our spring storms and wetter than average winter, local firefighters are pleased with the forecast. >> we've had a relatively, uneventful, which is a good thing over the last couple of years, a number of seasons. we don't want to let our let our

community to let their guard down, although there's the, not as much of a potential for a large scale wildfire, there's still the potential for fire activity as we push into late spring, summer and fall. >> on the whole, accuweather predicts fires will burn between 4 and 6 million acres of land this year. the historical average is around 7 million acres, so this is mild, but that's still a lot of land. it really is. >> all right, let's turn our attention to the weather forecast. >> yes. meteorologist sandhya patel has our forecast. sandhya. yeah. and dan and you know the fire weather perspective, this pattern we're in is actually really good because we have high humidity and a lot of cloud cover, which prevents that fire danger from coming up right now. >> as you know, fire danger is year round these days. let me show you some live pictures from our tower cameras, and you can see that marine influence going strong from mount tam. a lot of cloudiness from sutro to santa cruz to the oakland airport. here's a look at your evening forecast. inland 60s at 7:00. partly to mostly cloudy later on this evening. temperatures dropping to the 50s around the bay. you're already going to be

in the 50s by 7:00, so you'll need that jacket and a lot of cloud cover going into the nighttime hours along the coastline. same thing. a little breezy as well from the mid 50s to the low 50s. let me show you live doppler seven. we've had this area of low pressure spinning off our coast, but it's starting to move down towards southern california, just providing enough lift for some isolated thunderstorms in the sierra. there is another system coming our way from the northwest, and that is going to bring in the possibility of a few showers. certainly has been a breezy one. onshore winds 22 sustained in san francisco, reinforcing that cooler than average pattern that we're in. temperatures in the 50s and 60s right now. here's a live view from oakland airport. and tomorrow we're talking about low clouds and fog in the morning. friday will be gusty, isolated shower chance and for the weekend outlook sunnier and milder days expected. we go hour by hour tonight. a lot of cloud cover as we head towards tomorrow morning. we may even see some patches of fog as we go towards the afternoon hours. isolated showers may show up certainly going into early friday morning. this is one of

the wetter computer models that is projecting a few hundred and seven inch at best. so here is a look at the computer animation. anywhere from nothing measurable to about eight hundredths of an inch there in half moon bay, the winds will certainly pick up behind that cold front. so first let's talk about the winds ahead of the front 34 miles an hour. tomorrow morning you will notice 25 to 33 miles an hour in the afternoon and the evening hours. and then once that front goes through friday morning, the winds really ramp up over 35 miles an hour, going into the evening hours. that's going to clear all those clouds out of here and make way for sunshine for the weekend. 40s and 50s in the morning, clouds, fog, maybe a little bit of mist and drizzle tomorrow afternoon, upper 50s to the low 70s. it's going to be a partly to mostly cloudy day and the accuweather seven day forecast below average and breezy tomorrow. windier for your friday morning chance. sun's back for the weekend and we'll warm it up. temperatures from the 50s 60s coast side to the 70s inland, and the warming

continues through early next week. so ama and dan now we're talking the nice sunshine coinciding with the weekend. >> all right. perfect. thanks, sandhya. >> all right. how did all of these brand new cars get to antioch by boat? it's a way to build a better bay area. we'll

day in a new locat iwill be at eigstet near washington street in downt oakland. it's where owner mat horn's other restaurant, maddie's old fashioned, is located. the old location was on mandela parkway in west oakland, about a month ago. matt horn said he wouldn't reopen there after it was burglarized and gutted by a fire back in november. in today's post, horn thanked the community for its unwavering support for friday's reopening starts at 11 a.m. in antioch. >> new projects are underway to help increase maritime commerce at antioch's deepwater ports, which the city says are underutilized. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the story about how this is building a better bay area. >> the city of antioch is looking to become another maritime terminal in the bay area. >> that's shocking for a lot of people because we usually see the ships go by and they don't stop and they go onto west sacramento or stockton. but we do have deepwater ports in antioch. >> last week, the first of eight ships docked in antioch as part of the first phase of and ports expansion into the city and port

is one of the world's largest automotive shipping companies. it will bring a wide range of vehicles to antioch's port and ship them across the u.s. with the already connected bnsf railway, there's going to be impacts that may be benign to the average person, but are very meaningful to the city in terms of like tax revenue. >> as an example, antioch's deep water ports are a legacy of the area's rich mining history. >> but the mayor says they're being underutilized. the city is now turning attention to economic prospects for the future beyond just an increased tax base. the mayor says upwards of 300 jobs get activated anytime those ships arrive. >> we'll see other businesses either move to antioch or be created as a result of them being here in the in the in the shipping operation coming. >> the city is also set to break ground on two new massive warehouse facilities linked to maritime commerce. >> they'll be similar to the ones in oakland that have the amazon center right now. so again, that corridor is going to be going to be coming up economically. >> special attention is being paid to the carbon footprint with big ships required to use

cleaner burning diesel. and they're not the only vessels being talked about. the city just completed a feasibility study about operating ferry service from antioch to san francisco. >> we do plan to look at other ways that we can use our our ports to ensure not just economic growth, but to ensure that people can get to, to their jobs in san francisco, oakland, different places in a much more efficient manner. >> in antioch, anser hassan abc7 news. >> for the first time in more than a decade, the usda is changing school lunch rules. the targets both sweet and salty. >> and next, the issue of abortion in the hands of the supreme court for the first time since it overturned roe v wade. see how it could affec

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. i love the great outdoors...

california confrontations amid commotion and commotion at usc. you're looking live at the campus in los angeles, which is officially closed now because of a large propane palestinian demonstration that's gone on for hours. police are there to collect the clear the campus and

arrest people if necessary. a couple of hundred demonstrators on campus have splintered into smaller groups. but you're looking at part of the larger group? yeah. >> the large group on campus is refusing to leave. we have seen other groups blocking traffic at intersections just off campus. we have seen police take away some people, detain them. two people have already been arrested, and lapd officers are preparing prepared to make more arrests. this demonstration is one of many that we have seen at colleges and universities across the country. in response to the israel-hamas war, a controversial proposal today from governor newsom, he wants to give arizona doctors authority to perform abortions in california. >> newsom says it's a direct response to the arizona supreme court's decision that effectively bans all abortions in the state. today, the arizona house did vote to overturn that law. it goes on to the state senate next, even if it is repealed, bay area abortion providers say they're ready to provide care to anyone who needs it, making sure that our workforce is up to date, that

we're making, that we're hiring enough clinicians, enough support services to continue to support those individuals that are coming from other states. the governor's plan would apply only to doctors licensed in good standing in arizona and run only through the end of november. and today, the us supreme court heard arguments on the scope of a state's abortion ban. >> it's the first time since overruling roe versus wade and it involves a case in idaho. abc news reporter christiane cordero has the latest from washington. >> today, the issue of abortion is back in the supreme court's hands. justices heard two hours of arguments about whether the emergency medical treatment and labor act or amtala requires idaho perform abortions under broader circumstances than what its state law currently allows. idaho officials claim the laws are not in conflict with each other. >> idaho's law and amtala are consistent. they both seek to protect the lives of women and their unborn children, the biden

administration argued. >> a woman seeking an abortion procedure in idaho because of a health complication cannot get one until her life is in imminent danger. >> what idaho is doing is waiting for women to wait and deteriorate. >> she cites the consequences under idaho's ban, which includes a minimum of two years in prison as a deterrent for doctors to perform an abortion, even if it may fall under the exceptions, because the doctors are facing mandatory minimum two years in prison, loss of their license, criminal prosecution, then the doctors can't provide the care because until they can, can conclude that a prosecutor looking over their shoulder won't second guess that maybe it wasn't really necessary to prevent death. idaho is one of 21 states that bans or severely restricts abortions. the state is accusing the biden administration of trying to reimpose a federal abortion requirement, despite the supreme court's 2022 ruling that returned the issue to the states. >> there's just no way to limit this to abortion, and there's no way to limit it to idaho.

>> a decision in this case is expected by the end of june. christiane cordero, abc news, washington. >> a big change for travelers today. new federal rules change how you're refunded when your flight is canceled, and rules for fees. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez explains the changes. >> this is a big day for america's flying public. >> i think for, you know, the average flier, it'd be really good beneficial holding the airlines more accountable for timely refunds and transactions is a good idea. >> here's how it will work. passengers will get automatic cash refunds when their flights are canceled or delayed by more than three hours for domestic flights, and more than six hours for international flights. dot also requires airlines to give cash refunds if there are changes at airports. added connections downgraded seats and a change to a less accessible plane or if your bags are lost and not delivered within 12 hours, and refunds for extra

services paid for and not received, such as wi-fi no more defaulting to vouchers or credits when consumers may not even realize that they are entitled to cash. travel expert katie nastro of going.com, formerly scott's cheap flights, tells me this will make the process less painful and confusing for passengers when they need to request a refund because of a significant delay or cancellation. >> now, these new rules will make it automatic, meaning that you will get it promptly within seven business days. you can get cash, you can get refunded back to your form of payment. you don't have to accept a voucher or travel credit that the airline might have given you in the past, which technically today, even before these rules, you could have requested a refund back to your form of payment instead of taking a new flight. but a lot of times people aren't equipped to that information and just accept what the airline was going to offer them. we're also putting another rule on the books, protecting airline passengers from being

surprised by fees. >> these charges can really add up for things like a checked bag, a carry on bag, change fees , cancellation fees. >> dot is giving airlines a deadline of six months to comply with the new rules. at sfo. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news following the announcement, airlines for america, the association representing airlines like delta, american, southwest and united, says it refunded nearly $11 billion to consumers last year, adding, quote, consumers are given the choice of refundable ticket options with terms and conditions that best fit their needs. >> at first. >> search results, school meal program arms are getting healthier for the first time in 14 years, the usda is reforming school meal standards all across the united states to make them less sweet and less salty. >> the new standards call for certain products, including breakfast cereals, yogurt, and flavored milk, to have specific limits on added sugars. the new standards will also require a

15% cut in sodium in lunches, and a 10% cut in sodium in breakfast. the changes will be implemented in phases over the next few years. the new rules also encourage districts to buy local by limiting the amount of food schools can source from outside the united states. >> coming up next, celebrating the state champions in oakland. two teams, two schools and two state titles also ahead. >> how to use your phone to help not hurt marine animals

that is that there are lots of animals out on the beach and a lot of people. >> conservation, engagement director adam ratner says they are often alone and vulnerable when they're rescued. the victims of human interaction that's both unintentional and preventable. >> people see this little pup on the beach all by itself. they think it's sick and abandoned, and they go up to try and help it. and unfortunately, by getting too close to these animals, we can either be the ones to separate them from their moms or we can cause more stress, we're looking at disturbance data from 2023 to better understand what's going on. >> giancarlo ruley and the mammal center team began crunching data from the roughly 10,000 calls they receive every year, matching the incidents to eyewitness descriptions of what happened last year alone. nearly a third of the mammals rescued were involved in a disturbance to their normal routine, and ruley says two human profiles stand out the wildlife protector, who wants to help, and the wildlife experience seeker, camera in hand. >> and with that comes then

those extra steps of people just taking the wrong action and getting too close. the other then on the tourist side is wanting to take that actual moment, capture it in real time, and then take it back home and share with family and friends, he says. >> they've mapped out a series of harassment hotspots, and the mammal center is hoping outreach can change behaviors. the strongest advice is to stay at least 50 yards away from any marine animal run the distance of three school busses end to end, and if an animal is injured, the most effective tool to help is your phone. >> absolutely. we get over 10,000 phone calls a year from people out on the beach there. how we find out animals are sick or injured. so we depend on the community. we love the community and we want to arm the community with the right tools and actions so that we can both make sure that that animal gets the best second chance at life and keep the marine populations that dot our coast safe and healthy. >> in marin county. spencer christian abc seven news.
