now news to build a better bay area from abc7. >> this is just one house. this is a movement. this is not the end. this is a start of a new movement for housing for all. >> we're looking to de-escalate the situation. there is a lot of tension. there is a lot of hype. >> the clock is ticking on those oakland moms who have been occupying a west oakland home for the past two months. right now dozens of protesters are in front of the home as a show of support. and friday, an alameda county judge gave the women and their young children five days to move out of the house they've been occupying on magnolia street that means alameda county sheriff's deputies will execute the eviction order some time before wednesday evening. abc7 news laura anthony is live on magnolia street. laura? >> well, hi, ama.

we are live here in west oakland. the folks behind me, dozens of them have been here all day, many of them standing on the steps in front of this home. they're keeping a constant vigil in support of the families occupying the house. as we speak, the moms have until wednesday early evening to leave. and while we understand the sheriffs could move in at any time, we're told that's not likely before tomorrow. >> we will practice nonviolent civil disobedience. >> with a court ordered eviction looming, dominique walker said she and another mom and their children will leave peacefully when the time comes. >> we have stated numerous times that we will not resist. we are not violent. this is just one house. this is a movement. this is not the end. this is a start of a new movement for housing for all. >> we're looking to de-escalate the situation. >> ray cali with the alameda

county sheriff's department told abc7 news his deputies have until wednesday evening to execute the order delivered last friday by an alameda county superior court judge. >> we're looking for a nonconfrontational situation. it's very easy to make law enforcement look like the bad person in this scenario, and we're not looking to do that. >> we're not sure when they're coming. >> reporter: with dozens of supporters now keeping a constant presence outside the house, walker and others have been living inside illegally since november. she says her group is even offering to buy the home from wedgewood properties for the same price the company paid last july, $501,000. >> we don't believe in negotiating with people who are essentially trying to hold our property hostage. >> reporter: wedgwood spokesman sam singer says the company plans to renovate the home using at-risk youth and sell to it a first time home buyer. >> wedgwood has reached out to these women and made them an offer to provide shelter for up to two months as well as to move their belongings for free. we hope they accept that and

move voluntarily and peacefully. >> now the moms called that offer from wedgwood, quote, insulting. they say it fails to address the larger issue not only for the families currently living here, but also for the thousands of people who are homeless in oakland. live in oakland, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> laura, there are still small children living in that home from what we understand. is there concern about them being there when the sheriffs arrive? >> yes, there, dan. not only on the part of the sheriffs. they told us they're concerned about how to approach this eviction because of the children. but also, the moms told us this afternoon that they actually have a plan for those kids and that they will not be on the premises when the sheriffs arrive. >> okay, thanks, laura, so much. governor newsom is on a week-long tour of california to promote his billion effort to address the state's homelessness crisis. the governor made his first stop at nevada county's outreach and medical engagement project in

grass valley. he called homelessness the number one issue in the state, saying it's impacting every corner of california, cities, towns, and rural areas alike. >> this is no longer a coastal issue. it has dominantly been coastal construct i think in people's minds. but the reality is this issue is major issue in parts large and small. >> on friday, newsom declared himself california's homeless czar when he rolled out his budget plan, which calls for a $750 million fund that can be used to pay rents, fund affordable housing, or help boarding and care homes. well, here at abc7, we are searching for ways to help build a better bay area. that means look for people in the community coming up with new and good ideas. now a group has an idea that could fix more than one issue. the plan, that is six months in the making, could help reduce crime like violent robberies that we've covered here on the news recently. and it could bring in business as well.

the solution involves the portsmouth square plaza garage and 3 dollars total parking. that's a sea change. dion lim is live in chinatown with more on this idea. dion? >> dan, there are just about 900 small businesses here in chinatown, and from the looks of it, it appears to be pretty bustling. but come nighttime, it is a very different story. merchants tell me because of crime, because of break-ins, nobody is on the streets, and it's a virtual ghost town. so their solution starts with the parking garage. like a small army, this group of business owners and chinatown leaders are on a mission to take back their neighborhood. >> we just want to be proactive. >> last summer, two men were viciously attacked in broad daylight. that was followed by brazen car break-ins caught on camera, and then the brutal assault of three men in portsmouth square that fall. the incidents triggered a

community rally for change, but merchants i spoke with say they've seen no improvement since, despite the sfpd increasing patrols. so they're taking matters into their own hands. >> police need to police people. and if there is no people here to police, of course they're going to go somewhere else when there going to be more action. >> for the past six months, steven lee, a chinatown business owner and entertainment commissioner for san francisco has been working with the sfmta, san francisco reks and park and the portsmouth square garage to lower the evening time parking rates to get business and to get the city to step up safety efforts. >> this will hopefully boost our nighttime economy. >> yes, it will help us a lot i believe. >> before to park in this garage from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., it would cost drivers $36. now it's just $8. to sweeten the deal even more, spend $40 or more at participating merchant, and that rate goes down to just 3 bucks. while the reduced parking rate seems like a step in the right

direction, there are skeptics the program will actually work. >> i don't think that is the key. the key is you need to have something live here. activities, something art, creative. >> while it will take time to see if there are results, merchants say change is better than doing nothing at all. back out here live, this parking validation program is supported by so many people in the community, including the chi chinatown newcomers group and merchants association. their goal is to get more than one thousand people on board. >> dion, you mentioned that some store merchants understandably were hesitant to go on camera about what they've witnessed happening in their neighborhood. tell us more about that. >> yeah, dan, i spoke to numerous owners of legendary businesses who say they have witnessed or heard of break-ins happening almost every day, but they are hesitant to report them. they feel like their complaints

fall on deaf ears. the sfpd has long said that they encourage these business owners to speak up, because that is the only way they can keep track of these incidents. >> dion, thank you so much. now we want to hear your ideas about building a better bay area. share them by joining our better bay area group on facebook. bart riders may notice a change in the cars and on the platforms as they head home this evening. starting tonight, the newly created team of 12 sworn police officers will be dedicated to riding trains in pairs and walking platforms on nights and weekends. but one rider we spoke with today doesn't think the teams will make a difference in improving safety on the system. >> 12 people is not a lot. you think about how many people ride bart, how many trains go on throughout the day. so no, i really don't think that's enough people. >> what do you think they need to do? >> take care of the homeless people. that's a big issue. people doing drugs, the smell, a lot of stuff that goes on the bart. >> the team will supplement the safety ambassador program

approved by bart board last week. the six-month pilot program begins next month. bart's new police chief is also hoping to add 25 more officers to his department. four women have been arrested for a grab and run robbery at palo alto's macy's over the weekend. palo alto police say it happened sunday afternoon at the macy's in the stanford shopping center. a woman spotted these four women stealing arm loads of clothes and shoes. the witness then started recording the women with her cell phone. now at this point, one of the suspects attacked her before running out of the store. officers say more than $5,000 worth of stuff was stolen. all right. we turn now to our weather. there is more rain in the forecast. feel the gloominess out there. >> you can. it's definitely coming. here is a live look from the east bay hills camera and emeryville tower cameras. spencer christian is here with the forecast. >> it does look rather gloomy. you guys are dragging me down here. my mood is destroyed. here is a look at live doppler 7 at the moment. we're not picking up any rain in

the bay area. notice around ukiah, moisture showing up in the atmosphere there. the approaching storm is a light storm, reigning only 1 on the storm impact scale. but tonight and tomorrow morning, we can expect light rain, then some showers. less than 0.2 inch of rain in most areas. wind will be out of the west-southwest at 10 to 20 miles per hour. here is our forecast animation. by 8:00 tonight, we expect to see areas of light rain moving through the north bay. and then by 11:00 p.m., we'll see rain in some parts of san francisco, on the peninsula moving over to parts of the east bay. in the overnight hours, about 2:00 a.m. or so, the south bay will be getting wet. as the morning commute gets under way around 5:00 a.m., this storm will have weakened considerably. but there will still be wet spots on lots of the roadways and spotty showers. so bear in mind. i'll have a look at the complete forecast in just a few minutes. dan? >> okay, spencer, thank you so much. supermodel gigied a deed is hadid is in the running to be a juror in the harvey weinstein rape trial. the model told the judge she

stuff. you always want to support your home team. i'm glad we're giving them something to be proud of this year. >> as a side note, a lot of fans went to the team store here at levi's stadium today in search of the packers matchup apparel. we've been told that those items should be in stock by friday. we're live in santa clara this afternoon. i'm chris nguyen, abc7 news. >> sell fast. >> definitely. thanks, chris. green bay quarterback aaron rodgers, who grew up in chico and went to cal made a bit of a faux pas after last night's win when talking about the upcoming game against the niners. >> you're the king of mottos. do you have one heading into the nfc championship against san francisco? what do you got? come on. >> i'm just going to enjoy a nice glass of scotch tonight and get on to the film on san fran and get on to a tough opponent. >> ouch. >> what? >> did you cringe? did your ears go -- he said "san fran" in case you didn't catch that, which many of us know is nails on the chalk board to san

franciscans. >> he could have said frisco. did he do that on purpose? was he messing with us? is he trash talking already? >> aaron rodgers is a really smart guy, and obviously he grew up here and knows the area. if you're not from here, maybe you don't know. but maybe aaron did. he is a really bright guy. it's possible. just a little bit. he wasn't drinking an anchor steam, though. he stayed away from that and bodine bread. it's cold there in green bay. >> good stuff. a recent survey from san francisco-based public relations firm found that as far as a nickname goes, frisco and san fran actually ranked fourth as the most annoying. and hollyweird was number one. >> fres yes. i hate that. not a fan of that. >> fres maybe. fres -- eh. >> it's going to be fun. buy the tickets up because the

packer fans travel really well. they wear the cheeseheads. they're hard to mistake. buy them up. it's going to be huge. the players and coaches all talk about how loud it's been. well, more level so you can get your team to the super bowl. >> got to represent. thanks, chris. on that subject, let's talk a little bit about the weather and the rain we have this weekend maybe into the game. >> i like aaron rodgers, but i hope this weekend he'll will be the second best quarterback. rain conditions for the game, we'll get to that later. >> really? >> let's talk about right now first. here is a live view from live doppler 7. and we have some rain coming our way this evening. you can see up and around ukiah right now, and even around cloverdale. we're picking up some moisture in the atmosphere. don't know if it's hitting the ground at ukiah yet. but it's going to hit the ground later here tonight. dry conditions on the embarcadero under cloudy skies from our rooftop camera here at abc77. current reading in the mid 50s from san francisco oakland, redwood city, san jose, gilroy and half moon bay. 55, 56 degrees.

and dark clouds out to sea. forming up in the north bay right now as well. 52 in santa rosa. petaluma, 54. 53 napa, and mid-50s at fairfield, concord and livermore. and the view at the golden gate is a bit cloudier than it was a few minutes before we went on the air. so let's get to the forecast features. we'll see showers tonight and tomorrow morning. stronger storm comes in late wednesday into early thursday. and our next round of rain will occur over the weekend. the approaching storm ranks 1 on the storm impact scale, a light storm. but for tonight and tomorrow morning, we can expect periods of light rain, then showers. less than 0.2 of rain expected from this storm. rain will be generally out of the west-southwest at 10 to 20 miles per hour. here is our forecast animation. starting at 6:00 p.m. this evening, we'll see rain moving down into the north bay by 7:00, 8:00. it will be spreading across most of the north bay. and then by 11:00 p.m., down to san francisco and the peninsula, parts of the east bay before it starts to move into the south bay and starts to break up by the beginning of the morning

commute. however, even as the rain is ending, there will be wet roadways in the area tomorrow morning. bear in mind if you're a morning commuter. there won't be much left of the storm after the early morning hours. overnight lows will be generally in the low to mid-40s, and then tomorrow we can expect high temperatures ranging from about 55 at half moon bay to only mid-50s right around the bay shoreline. basically, it's a mid-50s kind of day. mid-50s just about everywhere. coast, inland and the bay. the precipitation totals from the storm as i mentioned will be under 0.2 for most locations. and then we got to the next storm. skipping ahead to wednesday at 5:00 p.m. we'll start to see a big wave of rain coming in wednesday night. in the north bay, and then sweeping southward in the overnight hours. by the time the morning commute begins on thursday, it's going to be wet just about everywhere. but especially in the north bay, because it look likes the heaviest rain is going to move into the north bay and through the central part of the bay area around 8:00 a.m. or so. we can expect some downpours

from this storm. snow in the sierra, strong gusty wind. this is going to rank 2 on the impact scale, a storm of moderate intensity. here is a scale right here. you can see we expect steady rain and scattered downpours. and even a dusting of snow on the higher bay area peaks. so let's get to the accuweather seven-day forecast now. we're looking at a week of active weather with level 1 storm tonight and tomorrow morning. and the next storm after that beginning as a level 1 on wednesday, but intensifying to level 2. by friday, looks like a mainly dry day, but next storm comes in over the weekend as we're getting ready for the big nfc championship game. there could be some lingering showers for the game on sunday, but it doesn't look like it's a major washout or significant impact on the game. >> we're mudders anyway. >> that's true we are. >> thanks, spencer. >> okay. evacuations have been called after a volcano started spewing lava in the philippines. we'll get reaction from the

specific evidence that iran was planning to attack four u.s. embassies, which the president claimed last week. today president trump weighed in, tweeting that it didn't matter if soleimani posed an imminent threat, claiming the assassination was justified because of his, quote, horrible past. and taking a live look right now, pompeo is speaking. this is at the commonwealth club. all right. let's move on now. it's the day hollywood has been waiting for. who made the cut for the oscars, and the criticism about who wasn't nominated. plus, the best of the best when it comes to cars. the cars of the year jus

two teenaged girls in pennsylvania are facing charges after letting a 2-year-old boy inhale from a vaping device while they were baby-sitting. inestigators say the 18-year-old and 17-year-old girls, they recorded the incident and posted it to snapchat. you can hear them laughing in the clip as the child coughs. investigators say the boy's parents have been notified along with youth services. >> teenagers do dumb things sometimes, and that's a dumb -- >> that's about the dumbest. >> that's pretty sick. and then to record it? >> i'm actually glad they did. now we know what happened. nothing i'm going to say about it. >> elizabeth holmes was in court this morning in san jose. she is accused of misleading investors about her palo alto blood testing startup. today her attorneys objected to a prosecutor's request for more time to produce fda material

relevant to the case. they say it's completely unworkable and would significantly interfere with her ability to prepare for trial. while holmes appeared in court, people were signing up for the first annual thera con. it's a tongue-in-cheek event set in san francisco. think of it as comic-con but with holmes and theranos as the satirical invitation theme. the invitation says you should come dressed as holmes or an employee. people having fun with a serious situation. people were offered false hope according to prosecutors that these tests would reveal. and investors were according to prosecutors duped. actually met and i sat with her, i think i told you this at a banquet years ago, and before any of this happened. and we didn't know this at the time, and had an interesting conversation with her. but then when these revelations came out, it was stunning. >> shocking, because you felt you had gotten to know her. >> and she was being presented

>> what is that based on? are they random sample. ing and saying are you happy or not? >> does it come down to your finances? >> your career. >> i'm not going to be able to retire? >> my thought would be that period as you approach 50 for men and women is a transitionary period. maybe your kids are a little older and you're in that transition area between a young career and moving into what the rest of your life might be like. >> that makes sense. >> that's a guess. junior psychologist, but that's my guess. >> i'd take it. office hours are open. >> i'll be there later. >> a bit of a longing for 47 all of the sudden. i'd like to go back. >> exactly. >> ama and i are not going to talk about that. >> we're not saying anything. >> all right. an ohio couple celebrated 68 years of marriage this week. >> whoa. >> 68 years. so what's their secret? >> how were they at 47? >> keeping your mouth shut. >> yeah. >> being very careful what she's
