lines. >> pg&e estimated this would cost $150 billion. a federal court judge is escalating his criticism of pg&e, calling its efforts to prevent wildfires dismal and organized the utility now to take action. >> abc 7 news i-team reporter dan noyes is on the pg&e beat and he joins us with the latest. dan. >> ama and dan, this is not the bankruptcy judge. this is a different judge overseeing pg&e's probation after a jury convicted them of six counts related to the san bruno pipeline explosion. and here's the point of the judge's order in his words. to protect the public from further death and destruction from pg&e caused wildfires. >> the order's eight spajz a scathing commentary on pg&e's recent history. the judge also provides the offender's unsafe conduct led to the 2010 san bruno natural gas pipeline explosion that killed eight people and destroyed dozens of homes and that now the offender's unsafe conduct has led to recurring deadly wildfires cause bid its electrical system. santa clara law professor catherine sandoval was a

california public utilities commissioner overseeing the utility. >> i think he is taking steps to propose modification to probation to ensure that they don't cause additional fires. >> reporter: the judge ordered pg&e not to issue any dividends to investors until it does more to keep trees and limbs from falling on poh power lines and sparking power lines. also wrote pg&e knowingly failed to trim or remove thousands of trees already identified as posing a hazard while paying dividends of $1 billion in 2016 and 921 million in 2017. >> i am hoping for an attitude change in pg&e because they have come back a couple of times and said this is impossible, this is really ambitious. >> reporter: also ordered pg&e to fully comply with state laws and its own wildfire mitigation plan to keep power lines clear from trees and limbs. a court monitor will assess pg&e's safety work through unannounced inspections and the utility must maintain traceable, verifiable, accurate and complete records of its

vegetation management efforts. >> i think that there's going to be a lot that's going to need to be done to make sure that pg&e is keeping and produce be accurate records because they have a very bad track record of doing exactly that. >> pg&e e-mailed me a statement this afternoon saying it shares the court's commitment to safety and agrees that we must all continue to work together with urgency to address the risk of wildfire and is committed to completing the work outlined in its recently submitted wildfire safety plan. >> the judge also is asking for comment in his order. a final decision to be made at a hearing next month. now, by the way, the judge postponed deciding whether pg&e should be required to cut power when high fire danger conditions exist. we'll stay on top of that and other issues as this moves forward. >> you've done such great reporting on this. the judge had some harsh words for pg&e. this quote kind of sticks out. if state or federal law is too strict, pg&e's remedy would be to seek the relaxation of such laws through its well-oiled

lobbying efforts. what do you make of that? >> a bit of sarcasm there from the judge. he has made no secret of his frustration with pg&e, but clearly they do spend a lost of money on lonnying. "the new york times" says about $10 million last year alone. so there are some high stakes here. >> keep on it. thanks, dan. state lawmakers met this week to look into what's next for pg&e rate payers. pg&e filed chapter 11 bankruptcy in january after determining it could face billions in dollars in liabilities related to the wildfires. wildfire victims and pg&e investors should get equal consideration through the bankruptcy process. however, experts warn investors and financial institutions will likely lobby to have their interests considered above those who suffered losses in the fires. >> you're just in a very preliminary place where you're not yet seeing the leadership where it's going.y ts you're in the business stabilization phase of the case. >> experts say it's also likely pg&e will attempt to pursue future rate increases as part of

the bankruptcy process. after the deadly camp fire state officials started a study to identify other high-risk areas for preventative action. >> yes. president trump also blasted california for poor forest management. cal fire has identified 35 projects including several in the bay area for immediate attention. >> abc 7 news reporter david quli has details. >> reporter: the santa cruz mountains have a history of wildland fires. the summit fire in fwat. the loma prieta fire in 2016. and the bear creek fire last year. with thousands of homes nestled in the woods, residents face risks to life and property as in many parts of the state. cal-fire has identified 35 high-priority projects it wants to do this year to reduce fire risk by clearing out dead trees and low-lying chaparral. one targeted area is highway 17, which is lined with combustible vegetation and homes tucked in the woods. it wants to bring in equipment to clear the sides of the highway creating not only a fire break but also protecting 17 for commuters and serve as an escape route and a place for fire apparatus to stage.

>> to speed this up we're going to try to do this with equipment. with masticators. try to chip everything on site, keep it on site and move faster. that is a lot of the push on this is to make this happen correctly but make it happen quickly. >> reporter: cal fire's proposa also targets the king's road mountain area above woodside, el granado on the peninsula coast and north orinda in the east bay. the plan goes next to governor newsom for review. the cost has not been finalized although three projects proposed in san mateo and santa cruz counties could run close to a million dollars. grassroots citizen-based fire safe councils are trying to protect their areas with limited resources. plans to target highway 17 is welcome news. >> if there are flames next to the road, it's safe to be on the highway? it will be relatively cool next to the highway because there won't be a lot to burn. so and we'll also be addressing some of the hazard trees that are next to the highway that could be destabilized. >> that means these efforts could also reduce the risk of

falling trees during the wet season from slides and high winds. david lui, abc 7 news. breaking news in san jose, where three people have been found dead inside a house. an investigation is under way at an apartment complex located on dent avenue. police say the victims are a woman and two young children. the woman died from an apparent suicide. neighbors tell abc 7 news the children's father came home to find this horrific scene and turned to them for help. >> then explained to me he was just saying help me, help me, my boys are dead. that's all he said. >> homicide investigators are now on the scene trying to figure out how the two children died. the names of the deceased have not yet been released. abc 7 news reporter jobina fortson is headed to the scene to get you more information. you can follow this story on the abc 7 news twitter, facebook and abc 7 news.com outlets. now, if you or someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can take action

town, put tall in the street and then let them know, oh, well, it's just going to sit there. >> supervisor linda hopkins laments this decision already in the aftermath of dealing with fire storms. she wants more help from her board. >> it's completely unacceptable. it feels like we're living in a third world country or an active war zone. we need to be able to ping the trash on the side of the road. >> and they want a declaration of disaster from president trump. they want help from fema. that's happened in the past. what has changed, we asked. >> i mean, there's no surprise that somebody isn't a big fan of california. and that's very disappointing. >> you know, people are people and when they are hurting they need help. it shouldn't matter how expensive the disaster is or what kind of president you have in the oval office. >> reporter: so as we come back live looking at all this trash again, there's a lot of pressure on the federal government and there's a lot of pressure on sonoma county. the board will meet tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. a public hearing to have a vote

districts is overblown and a scapegoat for issues outside of charters' control. and grandparents like jean martins insist charters were born out of the need for better schools in oakland. >> taking money from the state, et cetera. but what about the need of that cild? >> reporter: in response to the demands of los angeles, oakland, and other districts, governor gavin newsom signed a bill that would require more transparency from the charters and asked that the superintendent of public instruction put together a panel of experts to look at the impact of public charter school growth on school district finances. and when a charter school is denied a petition by their local school district, that charter school can appeal to the county and then the state. in the past the state has been rather generos with charter schools, approving 75% of all appeals. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. a man accused of punching a conservative activist at uc berkeley is now banned from the

among other benefits. fortune cookies are supposed to make people happy. mine says "don't lose hope. everything will be okay." i hope this is their fortune as well. vic lee, abc 7 news. >> indeed. vic, thank you. we want to hear your thoughts about what we can do to keep building a better bay area. head to abc7news.com and search the words better bay area. you can write us with your comments and your suggestions on twitter. use the hashtag better bay area. and on facebook we would love for you to join our better bay area group as we work on finding solutions together. let us hear from you. >> yes. all right. we're going to hear from spencer now. >> more rain is coming. he's here with the forecast. >> we have lots of cloudy skies around the bay area right now. and we have light scattered sprinkles mainly in the south bay. overnight we'll see some more showers. the storm ranked 1 on the storm impact scale. for tonight and tomorrow there's a likelihood of widely scattered

showers, maybe an isolated thunderstorm or two but less than a quarter of an inch is likely to fall from this storm. overnight lows will be mainly in the upper 40s and then highs tomorrow afternoon generally mid 50s. this is going to be a rather cool day. breezy. also especially at the coast. and as we look ahead the accuweather seven-day forecast looks like this. brighter skies and dry conditions on friday. but another light rainstorm comes in on saturday. we spring forward to daylight savings and on sunday we can expect a dry day on monday but a wet and windy day on tuesday. we're not getting much of a break there, are we? earlier it looked like we might get an extended period of dry days but now it's not so extended. couple of days of a break and more wet weather. >> hits just keep on coming. >> indeed. >> thanks, spencer. a little tension in the warriors camp. >> larry's here. >> awkward. >> yeah. these are usually the two worst words in sports. team meeting. the warriors needed one after they got destroyed last night. now what? that's next in sports.

good evening. it is really hard to know what is going on with the warriors right now. they're clearly bored with the regular season and the lack of energy showed in a 33-point loss at home to boston last night. embarrassing. steve kerr was hoping the dubs would play with joy this year. nobody's smiling.

>> it starts with a passion and an anger and an intensity. and it wasn't there tonight. >> joy. now anger. >> that's what your coach said. >> okay. >> i disagree with that. all around top to bottom coach, players, they've just got to be better. >> i broadcast with anger. draymond green said it best. losing to the celtics last night sucked and the warriors were embarrassed by their worst home loss under steve kerr. they went over a film session this morning. they'll air out their issues. green says nearly everybody spoke up. but the one thing that applied to nearly everybody is the lack of intensity. this team needs to compete. the season is not over. you've got games to play before the playoffs. he said it starts with everybody taking a look in the mirror and finding out what they are playing for. >> we all have to look at ourselves. i definitely did that last

night. i didn't like what i saw in terms of my own coaching job last night. so we came in, we had a good film session, we talked about our flaws, where we need to get better. and we had a good practice. so hopefully that will carry over to another good one tomorrow and then a good game on friday. try to rebuild the momentum that we've lost here over the last few weeks. >> it's easy to take the mindset again. just get to the playoffs and turn it on. i don't want to live on the edge like that. and you know, hopefully the switch flips on. i don't want to do that. i think we need to continue to get better. >> perhaps the arrival of andrew bogut will add some energy. the big aussie spent five seasons in golden state. his defense and shot blocking helped the warriors win the title in 2015. bogut just finished playing in the australian league. star of the sydney kings. he was the mvp. he's officially signed and could

join the warriors by next week. >> this is an opportunity that i just thought long and hard about and i probably would be crazy to give up. chance to win a championship on one of the greatest teams in basketball. >> it will be fun. terrell owens just added another hall of fame to his resume. he's been selected to the 49ers hall of fame. owens spent eight years in red and gold. he's second in franchise history in receiving yards and receiving touchdown and a whole bunch of other categories behind jerry rice. t.o. was inducted into the pro football hall of fame in canton last year. and despite his mercurial relationship with the niners in the past he said he's thrilled to turn the sxaj return for this honor. >> they say time heals all wounds and time as has gone by for a number of years. i think we've all moved on. and this is the best opportunity. and i'm very grateful for it. >> antonio brown is expected to be traded by friday. the question is to whom?

brown wants out of pittsburgh. he's an amazing receiver but his off the field antics turned into a nightmare for the steelers. the raiders are among the teams interested but nobody's excited about giving up a first-round pick for a volatile guy who will turn 31 in july. long-time nfl personnel man charley casserly says he was told heisman winner kyler murray of oklahoma had terrible interviews at the end of the combine and struggled drawing up plays on a blackboard. the fact is all he really has to do is impress one team, the arizona cardinals. because they have the number one pick in the draft and they are expected to select him. sometimes guys have been known to go into meetings with teams that they don't want to be picked by and just kind of go -- if the cardinals like him, they'll take him on. somebody will take him one most likely. >> thank you, larry. >> join us tonight at 9:00 on kofy tv 20 cable channel 713. the tahoe resort that says it has so much snow it's staying open until summer. >> abc 7 news at 11:00.

giants outfielder cameron maybin is apologizing for his dui charge. what he's saying to fans and new video of the arrest. >> all that's coming up later this evening. but that is this edition of abc 7 news. look for breaking news whenever you wish on the abc 7 news app. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm ama daetz. for larry, spencer, the entire abc 7 news team, have a great evening. >> we'll see you again later tonight. remember the way we used to do things? hey man... like connect with friends? dig it! or get in shape? or sell a house and pay a real estate agent a big commission.
