everything out of here, let's get out. >> we know it started in the kitchen area. that's where we had most of the charring and heavy fire damage. >> reporter: battalion chief thomas says his crew did a great job containing the fire to one unit, despite facing obstacles of their own, given that the apartment is at the end of a long drivedriveway. >> i couldn't get my crews and equipment in here, they had to stretch water lines to 200 feet away. they had to carry heavy hose to get to the water. >> reporter: panicked neighbors watched as crews cleaned up the area, relieved the fire didn't spread throughout the complex. >> it was so close, with all that nasty garbage, and then, you know, people, kids, people run around. anything could have happened. it could have been a lot worse. >> reporter: as you can see, the entire family was able to make it out but they were not able to save their dog. they plan to stay at a shelter until they find a new home. usan hassan, abc 7 news. today is day 30 of the government shutdown. president trump has offered a

compromise to end it. but democrats are saying it's a no-go, while renewing calls for the president to reopen the government. earlier this morning, he tweeted, nancy pelosi has behaved so irrationally and has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a radical democrat. she is so petrified of the lefties in her party that she has lost control and by the way, clean up the streets in san francisco, they are disgusting. speaker pelosi responded by saying, 800,000 americans are going without pay. reopen the government. let workers get their paychecks and then we can discuss how we can come together to protect the border. abc 7 news reporter david wright has the update. >> reporter: in the oval office this weekend, an unusual ceremony. five new americans took the oath of citizenship. >> this is the first such swearing-in that we've ever had in the great oval office. so that's a pretty big honor right there. >> reporter: president trump eager to show he's not against

immigrants per se. >> we are all equal. we are one team and one people, proudly saluting one great american flag. >> reporter: but as he outlined later in the white house diplomatic room, he still wants congress to pay $5.7 billion for his border wall. >> this is not a 2,000-mile concrete structure from sea to sea. these are steel barriers in high priority locations. >> reporter: in exchange for that, trump now says he's prepared to extend temporary legal protections for the so-called dreamers, young people brought to this country illegally as minors would have three more years without worry. it's a program the president once railed against and tried to terminate altogether. >> this extension will give them access to work permits, social security numbers, and protection from deportation, most importantly.

>> reporter: but the democrats say that's a nonstarter, telling the president the only path forward is to reopen the government. house speaker nancy pelosi said in a statement, his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people's lives. democrats are reportedly working a plan of their own, offering no money for the president's border wall but $1 billion for border security, half of which could be used on infrastructure. david wright, abc news, washington. with 800,000 federal employees going without pay, the question is did the president's speech bring anyone closer to reopening the government? abc 7 news reporter katie utehs has reaction from legal experts and political leaders. >> i am here today to break the logjam. >> reporter: president donald trump says he's pushing forward. but his pitch fell short, says former dean of the university of

san francisco school of law. >> this is trying to just push the ball a little bit. it was not a real good faith effort. a good faith effort would have said, let's put our employees back to work and then let's discuss the hard issues on immigration. >> reporter: the president insistent on a border wall. >> the plan includes $5.7 billion for a strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall. >> reporter: which democrats say is a bad investment that doesn't accomplish trump's stated goals, or theirs. >> why would we spend $6 billion for something that isn't going to be effective even for what he wants it to be? so it's frustrating, to say the least. >> reporter: east bay congressman mark desaulnier held a town haul saturday afternoon. many of his constituents are among the 800,000 federal workers going without pay during the shutdown. >> we've been trying to help with mortgage companies, financial institutions. >> reporter: the president

discussed short term options for daca and protections for people fleeing violence in their home countries. trasvina says immigration needs to be addressed, but not tied to the shutdown. >> congress hasn't really debated these issues in the last 20 years so we need that to be done but not at the expense of holding federal employees hostage. >> reporter: speaker nancy pelosi says the president's latest pitch is a no-go because it includes funding for the wall and does not include those permanent protections for dreamers. at this point not any closer to the end of the government shutdown. katie utehs, abc 7 news. time now is 9:09. in the north bay, a deadly crash involving a car and a bicyclist brought traffic to a standstill on southbound highway 101. chp says they got a call about a man wearing work clothing, weaving across all five lanes of the highway on his bicycle. the bicyclist was struck on the freeway at an off-ramp around 7:30 last night. lanes were shut down for nearly two hours. in san jose, police are

morgan hill, 53. storm impact scale, today it's 1 out of 5, light. we're expecting less than half an inch of rain in most areas. winds will pick up this afternoon and this evening, up to 45 miles an hour. then there's a slight chance of thunderstorms and even some small hail as this cold system moves through. the wind advisory starts at 6:00 tonight. if you have dinner plans to go outside, be careful if you're driving along the coast and around the bay with the west winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour. gusts up to 45. because we're going to see more rain with already saturated grounds. we could see some possible downed trees and power outages. now, over the next few hours, our forecast animation shows some heavy rain possibly moving in through the north bay, orange and yellow. and then it breaks up. so we see on and off showers throughout the afternoon, around the bay area. our best chance of more moderate showers comes in again tonight as the winds pick up, around 6:00 this evening we'll see some moderate rainfall through the north bay. and then you'll see it sweeps

south and dissipates. overnight we'll see pockets of cold showers and then clearer skies tomorrow morning for a chilly start as well. so the rainfall potential, generally about a quarter of an inch around the bay area. less than that in mountain view, about a tenth of an inch. higher than that in the higher elevations and through parts of the north bay, calistoga possibly 8/10ths of an inch. this is lake tahoe, not a good time to drive to or from. winter storm warning in effect and it stays that way until 4:00 tomorrow morning. up to three feet of snow at the highest peaks. be careful driving and carry your chains with you. today's highs will range in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees with those pockets of showers moving through the afternoon. so look for a high of 58 in san francisco and oakland, milder in san jose, 61. overnight lows, you'll find it pretty cool tomorrow morning as you step out the door. temperatures will drop into the low 40s because we have those

clearer conditions and the cold front sweeps through today. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. so we've got the showers scattered throughout the afternoon. then picking up again this evening as the winds pick up as well. tomorrow morning, we'll deal with a few sprinkles. but drying out for the holiday. and temperatures will be cooler. in fact we're going to have some chilly mornings into tuesday and wednesday. but then high pressure rebuilds. we'll get a slight offshore flow. plenty of sunshine. much warmer weather, closer to 70 degrees by next weekend. so enjoy the rain while it lasts, because we'll get a nice long break very soon. >> a rainbow in the distance. frances, thanks. transit is tough all over the bay area, you know that. there are never enough trains or buses and if you're driving, you've got a lot of traffic to deal with. the south bay is served by dta and caltrain plus amtrak. we're still years away from seeing b.a.r.t. extend there. b.a.r.t. is working its way south. it opened a station at warm springs in south fremont in

2016. a 16-mile extension will eventually include milpitas and santa clara. minor construction work will commence in san jose at third and market. the work will disrupt part of downtown but some people say it's worth it. >> reporter: in downtown san jose, commuters say solutions to the bay area's traffic struggles can't come soon enough. >> i often visit family in the east bay area and that's another terrible commute. so b.a.r.t. is an affordable and pretty quick way to get around. i'm very excited for the san jose line. >> reporter: that's right, b.a.r.t. in san jose is one step closer to actually happening. starting monday, the bta will begin the first visible field work related to the underground station between market and third. >> i'm definitely willing to suffer the initial parts of it to get the added benefits later on. >> reporter: crews are collecting data by boring into the ground on streets and sidewalks to survey the site, to help complete the design phase

of the project. >> there are communication systems and sewer lines that we want to make sure we're aware of before we start construction. >> reporter: surveying could last seven weeks. bta says at least one lane of traffic will be open at all times where the work is being performed. in the interim, some businesses are concerned about the impact it could have. most remain optimistic. >> getting here is a hassle for many people. so having that infrastructure here is going to be a huge advantage for many people, and getting downtown, to the businesses here. >> reporter: major construction downtown won't start until early 2020. the subway station itself will be done sometime in 2026. and there's one of four being built as part of an expansion through silicon valley. >> we're working closely with bta, how to make this a model, especially with the single bore. there's going to be less impacts at the surface level. and that's been a real win already for the businesses. >> reporter: an ever-changing landscape downtown, set to

undergo another transformation. >> we would love to have you join the conversation. just use the hashta hashtag #betterbayarea on twitter and facebook. next, your last chance to check out the annual festival of design and visual

welcome back. happening today in san francisco, your last chance to check out the latest work from top artists, architects and designers. dozens of art dealers have

then sliding south, clearing out by early tomorrow morning. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. we've got a storm level 1 on our storm impact scale. showers, breezy conditions. and then drying out tomorrow with some early morning sprinkles. cooler temperatures for martin luther king jr. day. and then we have high pressure building. but with those clear skies we'll see some chilly temperatures in the morning on tuesday and wednesday. and then lots of sunshine and near 70 next weekend. >> folks, you can always get your forecast on the accuweather app. and this is our website. thanks for joining us on "abc 7 mornings" i'm chris nguyen. the news continues online, twitter, facebook, and instagram. abc 7 news returns later tonight at 5:00. until then, make it a great day, everybody.
