the pedestrian walkway or sidewalk to protesters just after 5 pm protesters instead rallied near the plaza and there began to be comments being made that they were actually going to come off the sidewalks into the roadway and take over the traffic lanes the chp had already addressed that particular concern earlier in the afternoon when a driver they said was associated with the protest got out of his vehicle on the bridge with signs. they say he ignored orders to get back in his car became combative and resisted arrest to keep anyone else from entering the roadway the chp closed a lane of traffic and created a buffer with between protesters and moving vehicles officer andrew barclay says a privately owned street sweeping vehicle drifted left out of its lane colliding with a ford explorer the vehicles then hit a golden gate bridge district employee managing traffic and temporarily pinned two chp officers to other golden gate bridge district security employees were also injured one of the two was taken to the hospital last night and released the two chp officers were also taken to the hospital and released last night.

there's no choice that we have in that situation we have to serve as that law enforcement organization that is going to prevent people from taking over the roadway. traffic was backed up through the city onto presidio parkway and lombard street with a permit. it's possible protesters would have been allowed to protest on the sidewalk, but would not have been allowed to protest during the height of rush hour traffic precisely because of these types of impacts to traffic abc 7 news reached out to protest organizers today to ask about the permit. we have not yet heard back in san francisco melanie woodrow abc 7 news independence day for any spears is finally here today a los angeles judge officially ended a nearly 14 year long conservatorship for pop superstar. brittany's father jam. fears stepped down from the conservatorship and late september. it's controlled her life medical decisions and her 60 million dollar estates since 2008 the judge terminated it immediately. and she's an independent woman. and the rest with her support

summit wrapping up today in glasgow is focusing worldwide attention on greenhouse gases, and now we're programs started here in california to detect one

of the most damaging pollutants. could soon be going global and spencer is here with the tails, right? well, dan and alma. this is actually a way ofeeing greenhouse gases that are escaping from sights on the ground mapping where they're coming from and potentially stopping the worst releases. if you're trying to track destructive climate pollution from the skies above california first, you need to be able to see it and with technology developed at the nasa jet propulsion lab in pasadena. the images are the closest thing to environmental technicolor plumes of escaping methane gas captured during aerial surveys done in partnership with the california air resources board. so that was called a california methane survey that we conducted with nasa aircraft back in 2016 and 2017. and in that program has since expanded to track methane release riley duren and his colleagues at jpl employed a device called an airborne visible infrared imaging spectrometer. it detects signatures in the atmosphere associated with

methane that are invisible to the naked eye including major releases from so-called super emitters. it's not limited the railing gas. you see it with full mines. we see it. culture landfills wastewater treatment plants refineries recently state regulators up to the ante letting industries know they were launching a new aerial survey with the help of collaborators from arizona state and asking them to follow up from the ground and about 60% of all the plumes was something that they could they could fix right there on the spot when they went out and found it the flights were a groundbreaking turn in the fight against greenhouse gases, but the work of keeping them going challenging so researchers have now begun an equally ambitious project called carbon mapper to expand the system into space the project includes plans for a satellite launch in roughly two years. the goal is a space-based imaging system. that would track methane and co2 similar to the way nasa jpl uses satellites like sentinel 6 to

track sea surface height and ocean temperatures riley during is leading carbon mapper as a nonprofit to fund the first satellites, so idea behind carbon mappers to take this nasa develop technology and to scale it up and fly on a constellation satellites now bloomberg philanthropies has added a 25 million dollar grant to help accelerate carbon mappers work, ultimately the data it generates would be available on a new open source platform helping governments like california and nations around the world tackle greenhouse gases. so you really are going to need all these different methods and we really do live in a very exciting time. this is an exciting time and experts say the mapping is very effective because if you can spot and fix the worst super emitters, you can make a significant debt in the overall percentage of methane releases, and now let's focus on weather down here at the surface overnight. we'll see an increase in clouds high clouds and low clouds overnight lows will drop into the upper 40s in the inland valleys low 50s elsewhere than
