international implications. abc 7 news reporter kate larsen is live from the federal court in san francisco to explain. kate? >> reporter: well, dan, ama, the jury here today at federal court awarded a bay area man $80 million in damages, finding bayer monsanto's weed killer roundup responsible for causing cancer. take a look. this is edward hardeman with his wife in the courthouse this afternoon. hardeman was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014. he's currently in remission but does undergo frequent testing for cancer. he started using roundup in 1986 for personal use at his bay area home and for the past month his lawsuit against monsanto has been in trial. >> i'm overwhelmed i guess with the verdict. it hasn't sunk in yet. i just want to thank the jury for the dedication in staying with such a complicated trial.

>> reporter: now, bayer released a statement which says in part, "we are disappointed with the jury's decision but this verdict does not change the weight of over four decades of extensive science and the conclusions of regulators worldwide that support the safety of our glyphosate-based herbicides and that they are not carcinogenic. bayer will appeal this verdict." remember dwayne johnson, a former school groundskeeper from vallejo who used roundup at work, has terminal cancer. he was the first cancer patient to take monsanto to court and was originally awarded $289 million in state court but back in november after months of legal battles johnson agreed to a reduced award of $78 so hardeman as toernz are expecting some motions from monsanto in the near future. now, there's actually a third trial in oakland state court that's in court tomorrow. there's a couple in the area who

is saying that their non-hodgkin's lymphoma is also caused by the weed killer. live at the san francisco federal building i'm kate larsen, abc 7 news. >> kate, thank you. and as news of the jury's decision broke, we used the abc 7 news app to send out this push alert. you can be the first to know about what's happening by downloading the abc 7 news app and enabling push alerts. you can also customize it for the topics and places you're interested in. in the east bay a 4-year-old oakland boy is fighting for his life because of a gunshot wound. now, he may have accidentally shot himself but it's not clear exactly what happened here. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony is live from the scene of this shooting with the very latest in what we know. laura? >> reporter: well, hi, dan. this investigation continues as we speak. there are officers stationed in front of the home. dhey clde here o and a little boy is in the hospital with extremely serious injuries. >> it's my brother house.

state. and how well it worked. abc 7 news reporter lyanne melendez is in the newsroom. this is a way to alert us before an earthquake hit. >> reporter: we have talked about it before, dan, and i never thought this would happen, that we would actually have an alert system that would help us to quickly decide how to react with only seconds to spare. an estimated-559,000 people in an area of downtown oakland received an earthquake warning shortly after 11:00 a.m. of course in reality there was no big earthquake, just a person at the u.s. geological survey in pasadenaut t test howong iou take for people o to be warned 370 miles away. >> then what happens after, that then the message gets sent through the pipeline and then handed off to the three major cell phone providers. and then it comes to the devices. >> reporter: the first alarm of california's early warning system sounded four seconds later.

people participating in the test recorded the exact time they received the shake alert. >> there was a wave. they all came in at once and there were several device that's came in many seconds later. >> reporter: and what does that tell you? >> it tells us we have to look at what were the differences? some of the phones were probably older. some of the oldest phones didn't get the signal at all. phones without simm cards. >> reporter: following more tests, the warning system could be in place along the entire west coast by the early 2020s. >> reporter: she said if you were to receive the alert four seconds before the earthquake starts that's just that many more seconds for you to protect yourself before the shaking happens. >> reporter: we asked people what they would do with a four-second warning.ru >> go down the stairs. >> no idea. >> reporter: the right answer is of course drop, cover and hold on. i would have of course gone with a guy who said run. so clearly, dan and ama, the

public needs to get some kind of refresher course. in the newsroom lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. did you feel that one? >> not yet. thanks, lyanne, very much. with the high cost of housing in the bay area, parking is at a premium. >> in the peninsula some are taking matters into their own hands with homemade signs. the problem, it's illegal. >> it would just get quloird and louder over the years. they haven't been this loud years back. >> it's an issue that's getting harder to ignore. the sound of trains crossing through this san jose neighborhood. next we are live with the potential solution that's getting a u.s. representative involved.

residents in one redwood city neighborhood have taken over parking enforcement in order to save street parking in front of their homes. they've put up private no parking signs to create personal parking. that has some people upset. abc 7 news david louie is live in the redwood oaks neighborhood with details of this dispute. david? >> reporter: ama, very interesting situation here. this neighborhood's filled with duplexes, triflexes and a few single-family homes. but a lot of the garages here are used not for cars but for storage. and we've noticed that a lot of people here also have multiple vehicles per household. so they came up with a solution. reserve private parking spaces using public streets. there are no parking signs posted up and down the streets of redwood oaks, a middle-class neighborhod in redwood city. every one of them was put up privately, not a single one by the city. they are saving parking spaces in front of residents' homes.

>> they are actually contributing to the parking problem. they're not -- they're saving parking for themselves. they're taking it away from the general public and they have no right to do that. >> reporter: there are no curbs or sidewalks in this part of redwood city. but with their signs and some orange cones residents have claimed the right to bar others from using public parking spaces. that irks sue kennedy and rocky mitchell, neighbors who took us for a walk to see how the signs have proliferated. while they and their homeowner's group have held meetings with city officials, redwood city has not ordered the sign removed. >> i just want the city to pay attention to the problem, to recognize that the redwood oaks area is being d,ha y o the pf kindf pro rteity ca tt h b tout. it explains that the roadway shoulder is public, not private property. it urges residents not to post signs or cones. police will not enforce them. redwood city told abc 7 news, "city staff is evaluating this

issue further based on the feedback received and is still working on determining next steps." one resident, a tenant, would not tell us who put up the no parking sign where she lives. others were forthcoming. >> who put up the no parking sign in front of your house? >> my landlord. >> does it work? >> yeah. it works well. >> reporter: well, that seems to imply that there is some honor among residents, that even though they may know the signs are illegal, all the residents seem to obey them, well, they can get away with creating private parking on a public street without repercussions, at least for now. in redwood city david louie, abc 7 news. >> okay, david, thank you. in san jose some residents are upset over an increase in train traffic in recent months. they say the noise has become almost unbearable. abc 7 news reporter chris nguyen is live in the city's japantown neighborhood with the story tonight. chris? >> reporter: hi, dan. it's common to see trains operating throughout the day, but here in san jose those freight trains are now operating in the middle of the night. and if you take a look behind me

you can see just how close those apartments are to the track, leaving many people sleepless when the horns go off. the sound of train horns throughout the day can be jarring. but in san jose neighbors have been in for a rude awakening. literally. >> tarting the beginning of the year we've been hearing a train that passes by at 3:00 a.m. sometimes twice in the middle of the night. >> reporter: gwynn chow lives in japantown and says the blaring horns have become a recurring theme. >> just blaring the horn, it just wakes you up. >> reporter: union pacific says the new traffic pattern aims to reduce the number of idling locomotives. but the operating change means more trains at odd hours. >> they don't care if people need their sleep. and you know, they don't live here. they don't -- they have no idea. >> reporter: the federal regulation requires that train horns be sounded for 15 to 20 seconds before entering all public grade crossings. but not more than 1/4 of a mile in advance. that is, unless a quiet zone has

been established. which in this case doesn't exist in san jose. >> i'll be sitting and then all of a sudden i hear something loud and i'm like what is that? but then i realize it's the train. just gets louder and louder over the years. >> reporter: but relief might be on the way. officials with the city's department of transportation are now exploring what it would take to get approval for a quiet zone from the federal railroad administration. >> a consultant would study these crossings, make recommendations for safety measures. these would be things that would make it so the trains would not have to blow their horn as they went down the railroad corridor. >> reporter: the process could take several months. neighbors here hoping for a real solution sooner rather than later. >> the earplugs doesn't even help. it's that loud. even when you insert earplugs, and i do sleep with them sometimes, it still wakes you up. >> reporter: representatives zoe lofgren is also pushing for that quiet zone. her office says the f.r.a. will soon be investigating the noise complaints. we're live in san jose tonight. i'm chris nguyen, abc 7 news. >> thank you, chris. leading tonight's bay area

business watch, airbnb has arrived. the san francisco company has just recorded its 500 millionth guest. the company launched in 2008. news website skift says airbnb's total number of guest arrivals climbed by 100 million in just the last eight months. in january airbnb reported it was profitable ablabl ablable second year and it's now valued at more than $30 billion. target is set to reduce its environmental footprint announcing new goals today. they include lower emissions generated from the entire supply chain including emissions generated from the production of target's product cells. target's goal is to lower its emissions by 30% by the year 2030. the stock market took a dip today. dow closed down 2 points at 25,625. nasdaq lost 48 points. the s&p ended down 13. weakness in health care, technology companies and banks offset othering gains. >> stock market's down but the weather's looking up.

>> for now anyway. drew. >> you know what the payoff is going to be the weekend. we just have to get through more rain over the next 24 hours. live doppler 7 right now this evening. we are getting some breaks in the cloud cover and also some breaks in the showers. much of the activity has pushed off to our east and around lake tahoe area in the form of snow. the picture tonight, east bay hills showing you some late evening sunset. still a fair amount of cloud cover but we look ahead to tomorrow for opening day. we've got the angels taking on the a's at the coliseum tomorrow. and if you are going to the game, i would take the sunglasses but i would also take the poncho because future weather you can see right around 3:00 it is giving us the indication that likely a shower will pop up over the coliseum. it won't be long lasting and it will be out of here by 4:00. but nonetheless the day tomorrow, you'll see ssheittl bi maybe a shower pops up and then the sunshine comes back out. it's not a washout of a day tomorrow. but showers are in the forecast. temperaturewise, with that rain

earlier today, how warm we got this afternoon. right now we're in the upper 50s to near 60 in a lot of spots. tonight we'll hang on to a lot of that cloud cover. an isolated shower from time to time. it looks like the best bet overnight will likely be in the north bay. mid 40s to lower 50s is what we'll drop to over the next 12 hours. storm impact scale level 1 system still tonight through tomorrow. scattered showers. there's a chance of hearing a clap of thunder as well. and the winds will be gusty from time to time like they were today 20 to 30 miles an hour. future weather hour by hour we go to stop the clock at 8:30 in the morning and you can see the rain really confined to the north bay first thing in the morning. by the afternoon we start to see the showers become a bit more widespread in nature. so by 3:00, 4:00 anyone is fair game for one of those pop-up showers to pass through your neighborhood. highs tomorrow very similar to where we ended up today, about 57 in san francisco. 63 for fremont and san jose. 60 the high in livermore. 57 in santa rosa about 61 in

oakland and antioch up to about 62 degrees. a live picture right now. this is what's happening currently around tahoe. we've got snow flying. and they're going to see a lot more snow over the next 12 hours. winter storm warning still in effect for the sierra above 5,000 feet where you could see up to two feet of fresh powder in our highest peaks. if you're thinking about traveling over to tahoe, take in the fresh powder, maybe ski, maybe snowboard. it's good weather by friday. snow is out of here partly cloudy and into the weekend. saturday and sunday it is easy travel. temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 50s. back here at home let's get to the accuweather seven-day forecast. tomorrow we're still tracking those scattered showers throughout the day. perhaps an early morning sprinkle friday but a mix of sun and clouds saturday and sunday here is the payoff. it's dryer. it's also warmer especially on sunday. those spots going well into the 70s away from the coast. and then we'll bring in another chance of showers early on monday and then tuesday, wednesday kind of a blend of sun

and clouds. nonetheless, the weekend looking really fantastic. >> that's nice. thanks, drew. >> coming up, narrowing it down. >> who in the

130,000 students at nearly 600 schools in the bay area and northern part of the state. >> funding's had a significant impact for us. it's about a third of our -- it's about a third of our school's budget. >> reporter: the proposed 10% cut in the federal education budget means getting rid of the $17.6 million that helps pay for special olympics in schools. that means $300,000 less in northern california. steve amauro, athletic director at freedom high school in oakley, says disabled athletes would lose a lot. >> with special olympics they're able to not only showcase what they can bring to a community but they can also break down the boundaries of stereotypes. they can create true friendships. >> reporter: amauro says freedom high was the first school in northern california to offer unified sports where special olympians train on the same teams as athletes without disabilities. >> i'm a track athlete, bocce, bowling, and skills golf. >> reporter: christie domg is a former special olympian who now

works as a receptionist at special olympics headquarters in pleasant hill. she says the program did a lot for her. >> people don't look at you differently whereas in school when i was going to school if i even tried to do a sport they would look at me differently. >> reporter: education secretary betsy devos agrees that special olympics is a worthy program. she says the federal government just can't pay for every worthy program. congress must approve her budget request, and it's not clear they feel the same way. in pleasant hill eric thomas, abc 7 news. an emotional admission in court today ended the criminal trial for a man charged with kidnapping jayme closs and killing her parents. jake patterson went as he pleaded guilty at his arraignment in wisconsin. after the hearing he blurted out, "bye, jayme." there were gasps from court spectators, which included members of the kloss family. patterson says he knew he was going to kidnap closs after

seeing her at a school bus stop. he held her captive for 88 days before she was able to escape in january. patterson faces life in prison. a suspected neo-nazi pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges today as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty. james alex fields rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters in charlottesville, virginia in 2017. the victims had gathered to demonstrate against a white nationalist rally. one woman, heather heyer, was killed. 28 other people were hurt. fields had initially pleaded not guilty in federal court. he also faces a potential life e sentence after a virginia jury convicted him on murder and other charges in state court. fields praised adolf hitler and encouraged violence against minorities on social media before driving into the crowd in charlottesville. today facebook widened what it defines as hate speech. the menlo park social media giant is widening its definition to apply to white nationalists and white separatists. facebook previously allowed

posts from those groups even though it has banned white supremacists. now, facebook says white nationalism and separatism can't be meaningfully separated from organized hate groups. one local media analyst believes the government should have had more supervision of social media platforms. >> facebook is not elected officials. the fact that we're asking them to decide what is and isn't acceptable is very dangerous. it is a slippery slope. >> reporter: facebook's new policy goes into effect next week. now, abc 7 is all about building a better bay area, looking for solutions to issues you notice every day. we tackle topics like the environment, traffic, housing, and of course the homeless. these are very complex issues with no easy solutions. take for example the homeless. at last count 7,500 people didn't have a place to live. losing a job was the most common reason they became homeless. more than a third suffer from a psychiatric or emotional condition. that number has stayed pretty consistent over the last several surveys dating back to 2013.

it is also very similar in the bay area's other big counties. in alameda county, for example, 41% of the homeless say they have a mental issue. the number is 38% in santa clara county. a solution in works in san francisco could help out elsewhere, however. and today there's a new man on the job who might make a difference. abc 7 news reporter wayne freedman has the story. >> reporter: in san francisco the sign serves as a metaphor to some for how the city has historically dealt with homelessness born from a mental illness. >> i think the city is really lacking. i think there needs to be major correction. >> reporter: today an announcement by mayor london breed that she would say characterizes a new beginning. >> i want to reform the system. i want to make it work. i want to make sure that we get those people off the streets and get them the help and the support that they need. and this position is a step in the right direction. >> reporter: all in the form of granton bland, a new hire as director of mental health reform. he's been the chief of psychiatric services at san francisco general hospital. >> i think it's an engagement

process and everything begins with relationships. >> reporter: critics say he has a tall order in rebuilding the system, especially when one looks at an arena like south of market. >> it will just happen. >> reporter: last month we profiled residents armed with cellular phones who mounted a video vigilante campaign. posting shots of homeless and making sure the mayor sees them. they include adam mesnick who lives and works south of market and posts under the daily handle south of soma. his daily feed has been like a horror show. >> the message to the mayor is to try to give us some solutions and peace as residents, neighbors, businesses. >> reporter: we asked mayor breed if this hire will improve that neighborhood. >> i'm hoping that the hiring of a new director of mental health reform will make a difference all over san francisco. >> reporter: recovery is difficult to achieve from the streets. and we want to make sure we give people experiencing homelessness adequately housed. >> reporter: today the mayor cited an additional $3 million

and 150 new beds for the mentally ill this year. places like door house, a transitional home for those who don't need to be in hospitals. steve fields runs the place. he's dealt with the mental health issue for half a century. >> it is possible to provide the right kind of service in the right settings for everybody. >> reporter: the mayor says she will certainly try. we'll see if the best intentions translate to results. in san francisco wayne freedman, abc 7 news. now, happening tonight, a discussion of housing in san francisco. the mayor's office of housing and community development wants to hear from homeowners who are taking part in city programs. the feedback will be used to create future plans. the meeting starts at 7:00 at 1 south van ness. in berkeley people who say they can only afford to live in rvs will soon be banned from parking them on the streets overnight. the city council approved the ban after meeting with residents and rv dwellers last night. we were there for that meeting.

the city manager's office tells abc 7 news it will now have to come one specific rules to implement the new law before it's actually enforced. council members say the city will work to find locations where the rv owners can move and provide them with homeless services. now, finding solutions to the bay area's housing issues can come in many forms. we invite you to share your ideas and see what your neighbors think by joining our better bay area facebook group. well, tonight a new warning you can take with you to the grocery store. >> what california researchers say red meat and processed meat can do to your body. and a local controversy. the flintstone house in hillsborough. next you'll hear from the lawyer defending the home's owner against a lawsuit.

is it blunt or baffling? we're talking about the peninsula icon, the flintstone house and the legal battle surrounding it. drivers can see the house from 280 as they cross through san mateo county.

you've probably seen it at one time or another. hillsborough is suing the homeowner florence fang over changes she made to the house. well, today her lawyer angela alioto joined us in the studio for abc 7 news at 4:00 to talk about what she thinks the real reason is behind the lawsuit. >> in my opinion they don't like the dinosaurs. they have had mrs. fang put trees in front of the dinosaurs. then the trees were not big enough. mrs. fang has done everything they have asked her to do. and this is her happy place. i mean, it's her garden. you can't even see it from the street. so quite frankly she has a first amendment right to have whatever she wants to have hin her garde. >> abc 7 news got an exclusive tour inside the three-bedroom, 2,700-square-foot home with the owner. you can get the inside view if you like by going to our website, abc7news.com. ever wonder how the term gay became popularized? well, that's one of the topics that will be covered in a new exhibit at the oakland museum of california.

queer california looks at the history of the lgbt communities in the state as far back as indigenous times. but it's more than a historical exhibit. it also shows the flamboyant side of gay culture which the curator says was a response to repressive attitudes from society. >> the aspects of sexuality and gender that are really central to the way queer people have experienced difference was totally essential. it will include costumes that they wore, leather motorcycle jackets, fantastic performance costumes. >> the exhibit does not shy away from showing sexually explicit material which visitors can bypass if they want. queer california opens at the oakland museum of california april 13th. there's another light storm in the forecast tomorrow before we see a stretch of dry weather. >> drew has our seven-day forecast for us coming up.

a group of state lawmakers is pushing to pass a law to ban all flavored tobacco products in california. supporters believe tobacco
