pretty sparsely populated, but there are evacuation orders for people living there. cal fire says high winds and the remote area where the fire is burning have made this one hard to control. in calaveras county, the arrow fire has grown to nearly 5400 acres. it's now 23% contained. a firefighter was hurt yesterday morning, but their injuries do not appear to be life threatening, and we're hoping for more progress when cal fire gives its update this morning on the points fire in sonoma county, they announced right at 630 yesterday morning that the fire was 50% contained, and there hasn't been an update since, but cal fire was hoping improving weather conditions will give them the upper hand. >> so the moisture coming in from the ocean over the fire area will put our relative humidities into the 30% range, and overnight recovery is into the upper 60s, which is a fantastic advantage for firefighters to continue to get a good handle on that fire situation. >> the points fire has burned

until a thursday deadline to possibly do so. the arson incidents took place amid pro-palestinian demonstrations on the campus, which were otherwise largely peaceful. the suspect's lawyer believes law enforcement's investigation was political in nature. he tells me he thinks investigators want to place blame on the suspect because of his opposition to the israel-hamas war. >> no evidence has been presented to me that shows any connection between my client and these incidents. >> the arson events have caused backlash from many in the community. in a statement posted to acts, the jewish community relations council said, quote, property damage, violence and threats are not forms of peaceful protest. resorting to illegal intimidation techniques does not end the war against hamas. these attempts to harass and attack not only jews and israelis, but the greater bay area community, is wrong and desperate. we are proud to be jewish. we will not live in fear. the suspect is being held at the alameda county jail on a $1 million bail. the suspect is also currently involved in a san francisco felony vandalism case

from last fall in berkeley. tim johns, abc seven news at 509 this morning, and we're gearing up for a cooler than average afternoon. >> cooler than yesterday. in fact, today is the coolest day of the week, and we will have some breezy conditions later on this afternoon. first, we'll look at highs today versus average. you can see a lot of us staying in the 60s and 70s for our daytime highs, and across the board we are cooler than average by several degrees, so we will need that jacket on a little longer this morning. if you're out and about. we have a little bit of cloud cover as well along the coast. so here's future weather as we go. hour by hour 9 a.m. we're still quite cloudy along the coast. we're still trying to break down that fog around the east bay shoreline, and certainly across the city. now, heading into lunchtime, we'll keep those clouds close to the coast. we'll have sunshine breaking out around the bay shoreline, but you may notice some high, thin cirrus clouds moving in. it's all associated with a trough that is giving us that cooler than average day today. and temperature wise, you can see will be in the 60s for most of

us around the bay shoreline, upper 70s to lower 80s and our warmest spots inland. but again, it will get breezy around here. here's our wind gusts. future tracker showing you by 2 p.m. those winds are already picking up. will likely see those winds in excess of 30mph across the city. in the north bay. those winds about 15 to 25mph. even into the evening, we're still pretty windy and we'll do it again tomorrow. that onshore flow is with us again to keep us on the breezy side once again. so highs today we're at 62 in the city, so it is a cool day in san francisco. below average in oakland at 6776. in san jose 82 in santa rosa. but heading into the weekend, hotter weather does return. but you will see those numbers coming up in a few minutes. >> all right, drew, thank you. phones will soon be banned from schools in la. now the governor wants there to be a similar ban statewide. >> and people in oakland could be choosing a new city leader come november. oakland mayor xiang town, now the second leader this year to face a recall. >> it isn't even summer yet. that's tomorrow. but muni wants you to start thinking ahead to

quality of life. >> it is making our city unlivable. it is keeping businesses away. it is slowing down our commerce. and it's the reason we have $117 million budget deficit. >> mayor tao has not responded to our requests for a comment on the recall vote. the city council will finalize next month whether tao's recall will be on the ballot in november. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. san francisco supervisors have approved an overnight curfew for some businesses in the tenderloin, so certain stores will have to close from midnight to 5 a.m. every day. this is an attempt to prevent drug related crime and loitering in the neighborhood. business owners face $1,000 fines for every hour they break the curfew. this curfew will begin 30 days after mayor breed signs signs the legislation. san francisco community ambassadors are asking the city to save the program they work for. they rallied outside city hall yesterday. the program started in 2010, in response to increased violence in the

bayview and visitacion valley neighborhoods. so now there are ambassadors in six neighborhoods. but the program is at risk of ending because of budget cuts. san francisco's is facing an $800 million deficit. as it stands now, the ambassador program will continue through the next fiscal year, but it does not have the funding beyond that. >> we are not a burden, but we are a solution for the city. >> san francisco is planning to invest in other ambassador and outreach programs like the mid market and urban alchemy ambassadors program. >> it is official sfmta's board of directors has agreed to rip up the controversial center running bike lane on san francisco's valencia street and move the bike lanes back to the side. it may not be the solution some were hoping for during a presentation yesterday, mta officials warned that while a side running bike lane is more intuitive, it does have tradeoffs. each business is now going to be able to choose if

they have a parklet, if they're going to keep that parklet where it is next to the sidewalk, or with the bike lane closer to cars. so if they choose option two, which is the lane running next to the curb, officials warn the parklet could take up space that would otherwise be used for parking. there will also be now more disruption, what will happen in the coming months and through an eventual construction phase will be very significant for many, if not most, or maybe even all of the businesses that are impacted. sfmta staff will now work to solidify a design for the new bike lane that should happen later this year, and that will include meetings with the community. today is juneteenth, a day commemorating the day enslaved african americans in galveston, texas, learned the civil war had ended and they were free. in recognition of juneteenth, the alameda county board of supervisors is honoring a local business woman, carol h. williams recognized for being an entrepreneur and for her work in the community.

>> i can say has taken me just about all my life to make great decisions, but i still make some poor ones. but that's our right because i found out that it's not about making poor decisions, it's about learning and your ability to recover and keep moving on. >> williams launched her oakland based advertising firm in 1986, and has worked with numerous big name companies through the years . >> celebrations for juneteenth can be found all over the bay area today at golden gate park. the return of the monumental reckoning installation will feature hundreds of black women and non-binary individuals. the east bay regional park district is offering a free park day, and the museum of the african diaspora is holding several educational events for children. >> there are a dozen more events happening across the bay area, and many of them can be reached

using bart. even though today is a federal holiday and many government offices are closed, bart trains are running on a regular schedule today. you can visit their website to see the list of juneteenth events and celebrations before heading out the door. >> and there really is so much going on, like day and night, and i love to see it and hopefully it'll be nice. it will be get to sleep in a little bit, you have the day off and then you can enjoy all the events out there. >> just a little breezy. that's the only thing that may be the only fly in the ointment, but a nice afternoon on the way with our temperatures a little bit cooler than average. and we'll find those numbers heating up as we head into the weekend. so the accu weather headlines cooler and breezy for the holiday. today we showed you those below average temperatures with our last update. we do still have an air quality alert because of those fires nearby in northern california. some pockets of moderate air quality, mainly in the north bay. we'll keep you updated on that. but most areas outside of the north bay will actually have good air quality because of a nice onshore flow today. now the weekend outlook hotter weather returns just in time. as we say hello to summer. tomorrow we'll have those

trial of david depape. he's the man who was already convicted in federal court for attacking paul pelosi in 2022. there was a lot of drama before the case was turned over to the jury yesterday, and abc7 news i-team reporter stephanie sierra was in court to see it all. >> the verdict is now in the hands of the jury. but leading up to that, a lot happened today. two separate incidents of attempts to influence members of the jury. and i witnessed one of them. we'll show you some photos. this morning. the website of david depapes ex-partner, gypsy taub, was written on the wall of a stall in the women's bathroom. that website has been reporting false conspiracies about the case, and there's concern several jurors saw it last night. a similar

incident happened where a juror found some items, likely papers in the same bathroom with information attempting to sway jurors. bailiffs found it in the trash and confiscated it. today, the judge ordered gypsy to be excluded from the courtroom and parts of the courthouse for the remainder of this trial. he said, quote, you have been attempting to influence corruptly one or more members of this jury. following that, the defense presented closing arguments describing depape as utterly exhausted and confused, living a solitary, isolated life, refuting the government's argument that depape wanted to kill people like gypsy and others on his so-called hit list. the defense also tried to argue some of the charges are not applicable to this case, like aggravated kidnaping that carries a life sentence, stressing that depape lacked intent to detain mr. pelosi. now, the prosecution used their last moments, with the jury replaying body camera footage of that moment. david depape struck paul pelosi on the head with that steel hammer as far as the

timeline for the jurors, they deliberated for about 2.5 hours today and will resume on thursday at the hall of justice. stephanie sierra, abc seven news. >> tomorrow is summer solstice, the day with the longest amount of daylight. and while it's something that happens every year, this year will be the earliest in 228 years. that's due to the slight difference in the length of time it takes for the earth to journey around the sun, compared to our gregorian calendar, the solstice occurs at 1:50 p.m. our time tomorrow. so whether you plan to sip champagne or make s'mores over a bonfire at the beach this year, there's a reason to celebrate a little bit more this fall. >> san francisco voters will get a chance to help enshrine abortion rights in the city. yesterday mayor london breed introduced a ballot measure called the san francisco reproductive freedom act. it includes protections for abortion services and reproductive care. it also makes sure makes sure jurisdictions outside california will not have access to information that could
