35-year-old man. s.w.a.t. team involved, arrests have been made. this case is wrapping up. amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. this morning we're learning more about one company's plan to ban all single use cups by the end of next year. >> blue bottle coffee says the goal is for everyone to bring their own cup or pay to use one of theirs. but first the company is testing the program here in the bay area. george, julian. >> reporter: good morning to you, kumasi and reggie. that is the word. the ceo of blue bottle coffee brian mehan says he's not afraid to admit his business is a part of the problem when it comes to ending the endless cycle of thoughtless consumption. one of his coffee shops alone can go through about 15,000 of those disposable or single use cups in just one month. that's per cafe and by the end of next year all of these

locations will no longer use the single use cups. that means you'll either have to bring your own coffee cup or you can pay what they're calling a modest deposit to use one of their reusable cups. this was a gradual change. they were using biodegradable cups and straws and learned they were still ending up in landfills. the company switched and realized that still was not enough. now they're going single use free. the ceo said we are proud to announce an experiment that may not work, that may cost us money and that may make your life a little bit more complicated and certainly that's how some people might feel about the issue. this decision is not all about goodwill. we should point out the company is getting ahead of sustainability ordinances like the one that will take effect here in 2021 in palo alto, a charge if restaurants give

disposable cups to use here. in palo alto, i'm julian glover, abc news. >> okay, julian, thank you. mayor sam liccardo has endorsed michael bloomberg. also bloomberg has appointed limb as the california co-chair to his campaign. liccardo previously supported kamala harris' campaign but, as you know, she suspended her bid last week. now an abc 7 news live desk update. >> here is an update on what's expected to be another day of fireworks on capitol hill. two impeachment charges against president trump are expected to be unveiled this morning. sources tell abc news they are abuse of power and obstruction of congress. democrats worked late into the night drafting these articles of impeachment against the president. this after a contentious

bridge, i have an update for you there. first off i want to point this out, speeds are low, 15 to 14 miles an hour on the bridge itself. that's because we have a stalled car just past treasure island. pulling up our caltrans camera, that's where the backup begins to form. moving to the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights came on early at 5:03 because of the stall and the backup is extending back about four miles. it's going to be very slow as you try to make your way through this morning. a north bay tradition on hold, a popular art festival will not return. a tree that volunteers spent more than 2,500 hours putting together. the detailed decorations, each with something special on it. >> reporter: do you know the best hotel reward programs? i'm michael finney. this is a 7 on your side quick tip. the financial website wallet hub crunched all the numbers looking

for where you get the best deal on hotel rewards. they found it wasn't the biggest names. instead, it was windham, radison and best western. wallet hub says windham offers up to $13.46 in rewards for every $100 you spend. now all of the programs on average from alm of the hotels earn you about $10 per $100 spent and that's an excellent deal. now the smaller brands like the ones i mentioned often come through with a better deal because they're trying to compete against hyatt and hilton. so how do you take this information and use it for the best purpose for you? wallet hub says if you're a business traveler the best thing is confine your hotels to one or two brands and the rest of us should use reward points as a tiebreaker. if you come down to two hotels that have very similar offers

that work for you, pick the one that

this is what we like to see early in the season. 116% of average for a statewide sierra snowpack measurement. it's the equivalent of 7 inches of rain across the sierra. that is very impressive. let's look at how much rain we're going to get from now through 11:30. barely any in the south bay. up to a third of an inch in the north bay. we'll add a little bit more so we'll try to get to a tenth in the south bay but you can see up to a third of an inch around the bay to even a half inch in the north bay. a nice, healthy system that will hit tomorrow morning's commute the hardest. a north bay tradition put on hold. the sausalito art festival draws

serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include lactic acid buildup and severe liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c. don't use dovato if you plan to become pregnant or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy since one of its ingredients may harm your unborn baby. your doctor should do a pregnancy test before starting dovato. use effective birth control while taking dovato. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, trouble sleeping, and tiredness. so much goes into who i am and hope to be. ask your doctor if starting hiv treatment with dovato is right for you. the ones that make a truebeen difference in people's lives. and mike's won them, which is important right this minute, because if he could beat america's biggest gun lobby, helping pass background check laws and defeat nra backed politicians across this country, beat big coal, helping shut down hundreds of polluting plants
