>> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >> good morning, we're breaking in right now because vice president mike pence is about to get the vaccine there in washington, d.c. this morning. he's going to get it along with the surgeon general and his wife karen pence hoping to encourage americans all over the country to be taking this vaccine in the coming months. it comes on the same day as we are learning that the moderna vaccine is about to be approved by the fda and just heard that from secretary of health and human services alex azar this morning. right here on "gma." that is expected to be approved, could be shipped as early as sunday. and then administered next week as well. of course, it comes on the heels of the pfizer vaccine which is the vaccine that the vice president is going to be taking this morning the let's look

there as we see dr. jerome adams, the surgeon general gets the first vaccine. he was talking to us on "gma" earlier this week about the importance especially for minority communities to get it. there is some skepticism among black americans and trying to combat that and this morning, karen pence as well will be getting the vaccine this morning. hoping to set an example here for the country that even though this vaccine came out so quickly, it is safe and we have learned in these clinical trials just how effective it can be. everyone masked and social distanced this morning there at the white house. no word on when president trump is going to be taking the vaccine. he has not said whether he'll take it. we do know president-elect joe biden will take it perhaps as early as neck. the vice president rolling up his sleeves to get his dose of the vaccine as well. so there you have it.

this is all part of a continuity of government operation as well. members of congress and the supreme court will also be getting the vaccine in coming days. all concerned about the appearance of jumping the line, but this is important so that the government can function and there you see it. the vice president has gotten this vaccine. we'll return now to our regular programming. for many of thaw is "good morning america." >> announcer: this has been a a fo apply for authorization by february. congress is hoping to strike a deal on a relief package this weekend. president trump reportedly wanted to include stimulus checks of $2,000, but "the washington post" reports his aides convinced him that the checks in that amount would derail negotiations. lawmakers appeared to be settled on $600 payment and $300 per week for unemployment. claims continue to rise. now at their highest level since early september. we're learning more about a cyberattack that targeted the federal government being called

a grave risk. the energy department's nuclear security agency was among those targeted. we're also learning about a security risk involving a popular tv made in china. abc's andrew dymburt has the latest for thus morning. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: and good morning, mona. experts say that this cyberattack that targeted u.s. government agencies may be far more pervasive than originally thought, and experts are scrambling to determine how much damage has been done. this morning, the number of government agencies impacted by a russian cyberattack is growing. a new analysis by microsoft shows the breach is international with at least seven countries affected including canada and israel. but 80% of the accounts affected were in the u.s. >> what's so scary about it is we could wait to see any decision from the hackers, appear to be the russians, on what they choose to do with those networks. >> reporter: treasury, homeland security and state, even the have been compromised. and now abc news confirms the energy department's nuclear

security agency, which oversees the nuclear weapons stockpile, has been breached. according to the department, the hack impacted nonclassified systems and not those involving national security functions but intelligence officials acknowledge the hack, quote, poses a grave risk to federal and local governments, as well as critical infrastructure. >> what i'm really worried about is what they might do beyond spying to mess with our public and its trust of its institutions. >> reporter: sources say the breach allowed russians to view emails of u.s. officials apparently going undetected for nearly six months. the white house has not issued a response to the attack. senator mitt romney calls that silence stunning. >> a cyberhack of this nature is really the modern equivalent of almost russian bombers reportedly flying undetected over the entire country, and they didn't drop bombs, but they had the capacity to show that our defense is extraordinarily inadequate. >> reporter: in the meantime, a troubling new message from

homeland security about a popular chinese made tv. the department telling abc news the tcl television is made with a back door that can be accessed remotely without the owner's permission allowing a hacker to download the owner's personal information. tcl has not commented on the allegations. and as for that russian cyberattack, investigators say it could take weeks, maybe even months, to determine its overall impact, mona. >> andrew, thank you. nearly 350 students kidnapped from a boys school in nigeria have been set free. they were taken one week ago. the extremist group boko haram which is affiliated with al qaeda claimed responsibility. it's unclear if any ransom was paid. back in this country agents busted a drug trafficking ring operated by college fraternities in north carolina. prosecutors have charged 21 people they describe as hardened drug dealers and say the drunk ring funneled $1.5 million in marijuana, cocaine and other

drugs onto campuses including duke university and unc. now the aftermath of that nasty nor'easter. 42 inches was too much for this inflatable sports complex in binghampton, new york. no one was inside when it collapsed. as many as 44 inches of snow fell in parts of upstate new york and new england. look at that. meanwhile, we're hearing from a survivor of this deadly 66-vehicle chain reaction crash on interstate 80 in central pennsylvania. two people were killed as the cars and trucks piled up. >> the trucks that were behind me with the way the snow was falling was almost whiteout. they couldn't see us stop in time and they were unable to stop kind of hitting the back of my car and pushing me probably about 50 to 100 yards into the back of a truck that was in front of me that was stopped. >> that man waited five hours before he was taken to the hospital. let's take a look now at your friday forecast. a blast of bitter cold air has followed the storm into the

northeast creating icy roads. windchills this morning will be in the single digits across much of new england. it will be only slightly warmer in boston, new york and philadelphia. the high temperature in washington, d.c. today will be only 40 degrees, elsewhere, 30s around the great lakes. readings into the 50s from the plains to the gulf coast, 72 in miami and the southwest and southern california will be in the 60s. 69, los angeles. coming up, why home depot is facing a big fine. also ahead, a man with links to sex offender jeffrey epstein is arrested. what we're learning. plus, incoming first lady, dr. jill biden fires back after being urged to drop the doctor title. and a moose on the loose on the ski slopes. ♪

rule for travelers. how long it's set to last. and one step closer to rollout. moderna's vaccine gets a unanimous yes from the fd and could get authorization later today. how many more doses could be coming to california. good morning, everybody. it's friday, december 18th. i want to let you know, we're having technical issues. friends, i can't hear you, if you could take over, i would appreciate that. but happy friday nonetheless. >> yes, and we just saw something that was a big step here in the rollout of the vaccine. we saw the vice president, his wife, karen pence and the surgeon general get their shot this morning. that's making news, and we'll check in now with meteorologist mike nicco with a look at your day ahead on this friday. hi, mike. >> all right. let's talk about what's going on weather-wise. it is dry this morning. good morning to you. we made it to friday. live doppler 7 showing

absolutely nothing out there as far as really clouds or fog. we have a little bit around season martin, that's about it. so far we're doing well with the tule fog. that should be the case throughout the morning commute. after starting off so much colder, we're 16 degrees colder this morning. we'll have a very comfortable afternoon from 57 at half moon bay to 58 in san francisco, 59 in richmond and santa cruz, fremont, livermore, antioch, to some 60 to 62 degree temperatures. it will only get warmer through the weekend. and i found possibly the last week in 2020 could be wet. lots to talk about coming up in your forecast. back to you. >> san francisco is taking a bold new step to stop the spread of covid-19. the city added a ten-day quarantine rule for anyone arriving here who traveled outside of the bay area. >> please cancel those airline reservations. don't plan to gather. remember that asymptomatic spread, people without symptoms

can still spread the virus. >> the new order includes the nine bay area counties plus santa cruz. it took effect at midnight, already we're getting mixed reaction from travelers. julian glover is tracking this as part of our effort to building a better bay area. he's live at sfo this morning. julian? >> an airport spokesman at sfo tells us that the airport is seeing a slump in activity, down 80% compared to this time last year. so there's not a ton of peoplt f rush, but this new order went into effect overnight covering travelers coming back from san francisco who traveled outside of the nine bay area counties in santa cruz. you must self-quarantine for ten days. violation of the order is a misdemeanor, it's unclear if and

how it might be enforced. there was a mixed reaction from passengers we spoke to at sfo. >> i didn't know. >> because of the decisions made, because of the personal behavior of politicians, i think people are getting tired. we're still willing to do the important things that work and that may be quarantining travelers. but there's a lot of pandemic fatigu fatigue. >> pandemic fatigue is what we heard a lot of at the airport. there's an exemption for essential workers traveling for work. anyone checking into a hospital or other medical care and transferring custody of a child. this is similar to the quarantine order santa clara county put in place after thanksgiving. this order is in effect until january 4th and can be extended if there's current surge of covid-19 cases. the message, anyone now traveling back into san francisco having traveled out of the nine bay area counties in sfr

santa cruz having to self-quarantine after arriving back in the city. julian glover,

. icu capacity across hospitals in california

continues to dip to dangerously low levels. here's the numbers right now. in southern california there are no icu beds available. the san joaquin valley is hovering at 0.7%. locally the bay area region is at 13.1%. northern california, the only region in the state not below the 15% threshold that triggers the state's stay-at-home order. that means the entire bay area region is under that mandatory stay-at-home order. the counties in blue preemptively issued the order on their own. at midnight other counties joined. and here's a heads up, the governor's office of emergency services will issue a regional wide text message at noon asking residents to stay at home. this is an informational text. there's nothing you should need to do to respond to it and you

should not call wllaw enforceme or 911. >> vice president mike pence received his covid-19 vaccine in front of cameras today. today could be a big day for second vaccine kaen moe moderna could receive their emergency use authorization today. >> california could get 672,000 doses of moderna's vaccine once authorized by the fda. that could happen as soon as today. health and human services secretary alex azar revealed on "gma" a few moments ago the fda notified moderna it plans to authorize the vaccine. moderna's vaccine is the second vaccine to get the green light in about a week. an fda advisory committee voted 20-0 to authorize the product yesterday. the same committee gave a similar authorization to pfizer's vaccine last week. california could receive moderna's doses by the end of

december. those deliveries will do little to fight surging infections and deaths across the state. >> we're in a very serious phase of this pandemic. our hospitals are full, our emergency departments are full. our intensive care units are full. there's just a handful of beds that are available in any given hospital at any point in time. and this is not a situation that anybody wants to be in. >> there are some logistical advantages to the mroeroderna vaccine. it can be stormed at normal freezer temperatures, and they can arrive in smaller batches allowing hospitals in sparsely populated areas to receive shipments. 6 million doses will be ready for delivery across the country whenever the fda gives that authorization and that go-ahead. kumasi? >> thank you. >> all members of congress are now eligible to get the pfizer covid-19 on the orders of the

capitol hill attending physician. house speaker nancy pelosi and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell both announced they will get the vaccine within days. according to protocol, representatives and senators are considered to be part of essential operations for the continuity of the government. good morning. welcome to friday. let's look at live doppler 7. it clearly shows that you can put away the umbrella for several days. in fact, possibly until this time next week, which would be christmas day when the storm door may open again. 2020 may leave us with a parting shot of some rain the last week. until then, no tule fog out there, either. let's talk about temperatures. they're up to 16 degrees cooler. so definitely want to dress warmer this morning. and as you can see right here, mid to upper 30s through the tri valley. we have mid to upper 40s out around pittsburg, antioch, brentwood and your neighbors. we have mid to upper 30s in the north bay, around mountain view

and los altos. upper 30s and low 40s around the south bay and the bay and out towards the coast. here's how it looks from the east bay hills. that wonderfully clean air. for your outdoor activities today, if you're working from home or remote learning, it's going to be colder this morning. it will be milder this afternoon when you take some breaks. smoother out on the bay today and sunny and cool at our beaches. how does this unfold? by 9:00, we're out of the 30s. we're in the 40s, maybe a 50 around san francisco and half moon bay. 11:00, 52 to 57 is our spread. you can see we warm to about 55 to 63 by 1:00. 3:00 will be our warmest, 56 to about 64 degrees. then if you're heading out this evening, yeah, you want to dress warmer as we're already around 49 in san ramon to low 50s elsewhere. on our way to 30s and 40s and frost tonight. i'll show you that coming up in the big weather. that's next. for me, right now, it's jobina with a look at the morning

commute. hi, jobina. >> hi, mike. thank you. good morning, everybody. at this time yesterday we had so many issues on our roadways due to the rain. today hardly any problems. i want to start off with a graphic here because we have an update from muni. they will be gradually resuming muni metro rail service starting tomorrow. so j church will start saturday, tomorrow, t 3rd will start january 23rd. there's additional details there. check out this map. not even a slowdown coming out of tracy. a live camera showing off the bay bridge toll plaza and our conditions there. for the most part, super clear. look how empty it is there. really great if you have to head in this morning. lastly bringing in a live picture of the san mateo bridge for you all. things are looking good there, too. we'll be right back.

we have the power to harness abundant wind and solar energy, but it's not available all day long. use less from 4 to 9 pm and we can protect california for generations to come. dr. jill biden is speaking publicly for the first time about that controversial "wall

street journal" op-ed that suggested she drop her title doctor. kenneth moton has reaction from the soon to be first lady in "gma first look." >> in this morning's "gma first look," dr. jill biden fires back. >> it was really the tone of it that i think that, you know, he called me kiddo. >> overnight america's next first lady defending the title she worked so hardly to achieve. >> one of the things i'm most proud of is my doctorate. i worked so hard for it. joe came when i defended my thesis. >> earlier this week the "wall street journal" published the op-ed in which the author said biden should not be called doctor because her degree is not in medicine. many called the op-ed s.e.exist. >> i've been suppressing my irishness for a long time. >> i was overwhelmed by how gracious people were. >> at 7:00 a.m., we'll tell you about the famous faces coming out to support tjill biden.

i'm kenneth moton, abc news, new york. coming up at 5:30, a new quarantine rule. san francisco cracking down on travelers issuing a mandatory ten-day restriction. napa county lockdown. hotel workers phoning their guests as the state's stay-at-home order takes effect. how wine country businesses are now trying to pivot. and the vice president gets vaccinated. mike pence just a few moments ago rolling up his sleeve to get the shot. you saw it live right here on abc7. good morning. welcome to friday, december 18th. >> before we get to that, we want to check in with mike for a look at our forecast for today. happy friday, mike. >> happy friday to you, kumasi and reggie. thank you for joining us. here's what's going on with live doppler 7. it is dry. we have an extended period of dry weather that's going to last through at least thursday. so you can put the umbrellas

back in to the depths of the closet or wherever you keep it, the trunk possibly. it's quiet out there. no cloud cover, also not much fog until you get down around san martin and points southward. i think fog will be an issue for the weekend. tule fog may be an issue for the central valley. let's talk about today. what a wonderful day it will be to head outside with plenty of sunshine. a light breeze. temperatures stretching from about 57 to 62 degrees. so those temperatures are a little bit above average. average highs this time of year, 55 to 58 degrees. we'll add a couple degrees on to this during the weekend. next week we'll try to bring them back to average and keep us dry. we'll look at that extended forecast and see if mother nature will open the storm door for the last week of 2020. right now let's get back to kumasi and get the news of the day. >> thank you. san francisco is ramping up its effort to stop the spread of

coronavirus. it's now ordering anyone who comes into the city from outside of the bay area to quarantine for ten days. for these purposes, the bay area includes santa cruz but does not include monterey county. the order took effect at midnight and it ends on january 4th. but it could be extended. people who violate this could be fined, jailed or both. travelers coming into sfo will be notified about this order. a spokesperson at the airport says that passengers will hear announcements and see signs with information about the quarantine. there will also be details on the sfo website as well as on their social media pages. california's next shipment of pfizer's covid-19 vaccine could be smaller than expected. the state was expected to get 393,000 doses. but now it's only getting 233,000 doses. they say the federal government gave several states new estimated shipping amounts. they didn't elaborate on why but alex azar said on "gma" this

morning that the governors misunderstood what they were supposed to be getting. the vaccine has strict protocols, and unfortunately there's already been a few issues. one batch in alabama, two here in california couldn't be used because of safety concerns. queen of the valley hospital in napa had to throw out 975 doses that it got on wednesday. >> the phone call was from pfizer. it said the shipment may have been shipped too cold, and that we should not use it. and that they would be shipping us a replacement. >> each container of vaccine has a gps-enabled thermal sensor that tracks temperatures in transit. upon arrival hospitals have strict processes to double check the vaccines. in the north bay, sonoma county received its first shipments of covid vaccines. they received close to 5,000 doses yesterday. those will be allocated among six local hospitals who are

cleared to begin vaccinating front line workers. vaccinations under way in marin. more than 100 front line health workers received their vaccine yesterday. workers caring for covid-19 patients got first priority, marin health hopes to vaccinate all staff by early next year. vice president mike pence stepped in front of the cameras this morning to get his covid-19 vaccine. other white house staff members will get their shots soon, too. jobina fortson is at the live desk with more hopeful news about another vaccine poised to get federal authorization. jobina? >> thank you. so, vice president pence's on-camera live vaccination is part of a broader campaign by the white house to get the message across that the covid-19 vaccine is safe and effective. so what we're learning here this morning, the vice president is among the first in the trump administration to be vaccinated with pfizer's covid-19 vaccine, which was authorized under emergency use authorization by the fda last week.

karen pence and jerome adams also were vaccinated this morning. president-elect joe biden and vice president-elect kamala harris will receive their vaccinations sometime next week. alex azar announced authorization for moderna's vaccine is imminent. >> like last friday when i told you about pfizer, this morning i can tell you and your viewers that the fda communicated to moderna that we expect to grant their emergency use authorization. that could come as soon as today. more good friday vaccine news. i think we should set up a regular date for you and me to talk every friday morning. >> president trump will be vaccinated only when the white house medical team recommends it. he is still receiving benefits from treatment from earlier. reggie? >> thanks.

johnson & johnson says its fully enrolled participants for its covid-19, 45,000 participants are part of the study which johnson & johnson called ensemble. here's an important distinction. unlike the pfizer and moderna vaccines, johnson & johnson only requires a single dose but it's also conducting a study involving a two-dose regimen. interim data should be available by the end of january. the company plans to submit an emergency use authorization to the fda in february. abc7 news dedicated this week to what you need to know about the vaccines. today on abc7 news at 4:00, we have a special hour-long town hall with a national panel of medical leaders. you can see our coverage by going to abc7news.com/vaccine. happening today, the santa clara county public health department will hold another briefing with the latest on the coronavirus crisis in that county. santa clara county has the highest number of covid-19 cases in the bay area with more than 52,000. yesterday there were more than

1,200 new confirmed cases with 99 new hospitalizations. the briefing this morning is at 10:00. you can get updates on our website, abc7news.com. new this morning, we're learning about an indoor thanksgiving dinner hosted for hundreds of guests inside the alwani hotel at yosemite national park. 300 to 400 people dined on a holiday buffet in the hotel's grand dining room over a six-hour period. the corporation that runs the hotel said they adhered to reduced serving capacity. because yosemite is under national park service jurisdiction, it does not appear any state or county health orders were violated. diners paid $103 per adult for that feast. coming up, life after vaccines. our week-long coverage continues with a sneak peek at my special report looking at what life will be like once most of us have gotten the shot. and from looking forward to looking back. we talk to a bay area teen who

got her start in activism this year with a huge protest on the golden gate bridge. first we check in with meteorologist mike nicco on this friday. hi, mike. >> hi, reggie, kumasi. hi, everybody. i want to talk do you about a dire situation in california that just got worse. our drought conditions have reached the worst category possible. it's called exceptional drought. it's that small portion in the southeastern part of california in the darkest red. last week was the first time drought conditions reached statewide. the drought is severe in most of the bay area, which is the orange. it's even worse across parts of the north bay like in napa and solano counties there where you see the red, which also extends into lake and mendocino counties. things have stayed steady here, but gotten worse across most of the state. i want to look and show you exactly where we stand with our rainfall.

yu can see where 3 inches behind where we should be since october 1st in livermore and san jose to 4 in oakland, 4 1/2 in san francisco, to nearly 7 in santa rosa. while that rain has been great the last week or so, you can already see the hills starting to turn green, we have a lot of making up to do and probably knnot going to happen during a la nina year. temperatures from 10 to 16 degrees cooler than average. let's go down to the south bay. we have 38 in morgan hill and santa teresa and up near mountain view. 39 in saratoga and campbell. 40 in san jose. we have 39 in redwood city. 35 in danville and lafayette. 38 in napa. 39 in sebastopol. 48 in alameda and san francisco 45. check out half moon bay, 37 degrees. there may be some really isolated areas of frost this morning. there's a better chance tomorrow torning. here's your day planner for today.

37 to 43 at 7:00. then around 54 to 56 with total sunshine at noon. 53 to 57 at 4:00. definitely a warmer jacket this morning. already the mid to upper 40s by 7:00. as far as your commute this morning, that is yesterday's for some reason, it did not update that should all be green and say good because there's nothing weather-wise to keep you from having a good commute. let's go over to jobina and find out how it's going out there on the roads. hi, jobina. >> hi, mike. thank you. good morning, everyone. happy friday to you. how it's going? pretty well out there. we'll start off with a live picture in walnut creek, bringing in 680 here. it's been so clear. what mike was saying, you know, is so true. yesterday it was so busy, so much going on. look at that smooth ride across. now we're bring in emeryville and check out things. around 5:30 is when it starts to get busier there. you can see it is. those headlights making their way westbound but not packed
