sure of receiving other care. kaiser says they're going to be ready to handle it all. but do keep in mind, if you have images getting done, lab work, support staff, nursing assistants, phlebotomists call center reps, vocational nurses, surgical technicians, that's just part of a long list of jobs. all those folks are possibly going to be walking off the job tomorrow. reporting live in walnut creek. i'm leslie brinkly, abc7 news. >> so many people possibly impacted. thank you, leslie. for the first time the house of representatives has voted out its speaker. >> the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant and with that vote kern county congressman kevin mccarthy is out as speaker. >> eight republicans voted to remove him along with 208 democrats. florida congressman matt gaetz spearheaded the motion to vacate the chair after mccarthy worked with democrats to pass a spending bill that

how they're going to issue permits for food vending. >> so at this moment, there are no permanent food vendors in san francisco, so no one has permits not for selling food. no. there are food trucks that do have different permits. but like what you saw out there, like hot dog vendors, people selling fruit on the street there, currently, none of them are permitted. >> san francisco's department of public health said they do require a permit for street vendors to sell food. in san francisco, though, and added in part, the environmental health branch also issues permits to mobile food vendors to lower the risk of foodborne illness and protect public health. all permitted vendors display a current year decal un permiso de la ciudad. you would want a permit from the city. >> yo quiero un permiso. yes, i would. >> now the san francisco public works department said they're still investigating this incident and will take action once that investigation is finalized in the newsroom. luis pena, abc seven news. >> luis, thank you. multiple investigations are now underway

a regional and a state level. >> brentwood, vice-mayor susanna meyer says her city raised the inclusionary rate for the number of affordable units that must be built in new developments to 13. and remove in-lieu fees which developers could pay instead of building low income housing. >> the developments that are being currently built will actually have to stand to that. and so we will, as we get more build out coming in, we will be getting more affordable housing coming in as well. >> pittsburg mayor shanelle scales, preston spoke of several new projects underway, such as this one for low income veterans . she says there is no shortage of construction around the city. the challenge is funding to build affordable housing. >> i think the hardest part is getting the funding. you know, it comes from all these sources from the federal government. the state, it, you know, the county, you know, your city and then the non profit. and we're trying to figure out how to put all that funding together to build that housing. >> antioch mayor lamar thorpe says aside from the red tape, until there's better coordinated efforts, housing, the homeless will remain a big problem in antioch. >> we you know, we've invested

in in in bridge housing, stabilizing people, getting them the wraparound services and then them getting them into housing. but i'm not sure we're all doing that. and so that's concerning because we're going to continue to see an explosion of homeless people in our streets. >> housing advocates like the group a's, which is working in east contra costa county, says they're encouraged, but that more still must be done. >> we want to keep these conversations going because it does help in the long run in pittsburg, kansas city, abc7 news. >> well, fleet week is underway in san francisco and we can expect a very special tribute to senator dianne feinstein. officials made the announcement during the annual press conference for fleet week today. the blue angels will perform what's called a missing woman honor formation during their air show. this weekend to commemorate the late senator. mayor london breed says the city is prepared for a memorable week . >> and this is what we do best. we open up the city in extraordinary ways and fleet week is no different. and so it's so fitting to honor dianne

feinstein's legacy. >> besides the air show fleet week activities will include performances from dozens of military bands, the parade of ships and the humanitarian assistance village at marina green. all right. so definitely a lot of activities. will the weather cooperate? >> but it looks like it's going to be a warm and sunny as we remind you that you can check out the fleet week schedule of events posted on our website from the bands, the blue angels . you can check out all of it at abc7 news.com. and i think. warm and sunny conditions will prevail. it's going to be perfect for fleet week. >> just about perfect, right? >> spencer that's just about right. we may not see the marine layer again until sunday and that's usually our concern during a fleet week, especially for the blue angels air show because it affects visibility as well as maneuverability of the of the aircraft. but right now we're looking at sunny and warm conditions here in san francisco as well, all the way through the week. here's a look at what's happening in the atmosphere here

that's determining what we feel down here. a big ridge of high pressure is dominating our weather picture for the next several days. and the clockwise circulation around that high is bringing us or will bring us an offshore flow says the winds move down hill. they dry out the air does and it warms up. and that's why i've got such a warm up coming our way. and notice already clouds, low clouds being pushed away from the coastline. so it's not only warming up, but it's clearing up. we have the 24 hour temperature change showing you that it's about 4 to 6 degrees warmer right now in most burial locations than at this time yesterday. so here's a view from sutro tower looking out over sunny san francisco, 67 degrees here in the city right now 73 at both oakland and mountain view. san jose, 82 degrees, 77 at palo alto, 61 at half moon bay. nice view from emeryville looking toward the golden gate and you can see little haze off in the distance there. but there's no actual no significant bank of coastal clouds right now. 85 degrees right now in santa rosa, nevada

. nevada, 82, napa, 77, 88 at fairfield. and we have mid 80s at concord and livermore and blue sky over the embarcadero and the bay bridge. as we check out the forecast headlines, clear skies overnight in the absence of coastal clouds warm at the coast and hot near the bay and inland tomorrow through saturday. and that, of course, means a heightened fire danger for and near record temperatures are possible as well. so overnight it again, clouds are moving away, low clouds, clear skies all the way into the early morning hours, which means we start the day with sunny skies overnight. low temperatures will not be very low without cooling coastal clouds. we have low temperatures mainly in the low 60s, which is pretty warm and maybe uncomfortable for some during the overnight hours. highs tomorrow, 77 half moon bay, 82in san francisco, mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline tomorrow. this is just the beginning of the warm up and we'll see some low 90s in the warmest inland spots. but all of those areas are going to get

warmer as we get later into the week. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll be looking at mid to upper 90s, inland thursday, friday and saturday up to about 90 degrees around the bay shoreline tomorrow. not tomorrow rather, but thursday, friday and saturday and the coast up to 80 degrees or even higher on thursday, we might see some record highs at the coast because, you know, the mid 90s inland are not close to records, but 80 degrees on the coast. that's that's pretty warm. clear skies, as i mentioned here in the city for the air show all the way through the weekend. we might see the marine layer make a comeback on sunday. >> as long as the planes are flying clear blue skies, sunny conditions warm. it's going to be perfect. who's complaining? >> oh, nobody took the weather guy. >> thank you, spencer. chips >> he takes venmo, in case you're wondering. still to come on abc seven news at four seven on your side's michael finney with a development today that could lead to lower prescription drug prices for millions of

fortunate to have served the american people. i leave the speakership with a sense of pride, accomplishment and yes, optimism. from the day i entered politics, my mission has always been to make tomorrow better than today. i fought for what i believe in, and i believe in this country of america. my goals have not changed. my ability to fight is just in a different form. you need to 18. unfortunately 4% of our conference can join all the democrats and dictate who can be the republican speaker in this house. i don't think that rule is good for the institution, but apparently i'm the only one in i believe i can continue to fight maybe in a different manner. i will notrillionun for speaker again. i'll have the conference . pick somebody else. i hope you realize that every day i did the job regardless whether you underestimated me or not. i

wanted to do it with a smile. i grew to enjoy you even on your toughest days and your questions . i could always tell what day it was. based upon your question . on monday, you would ask if i could pass the bill tuesday was whether the rule would pass wednesday day was the greatest challenge ever to my speakership, and thursday, when we passed the bill, you didn't think it was a very big deal at all. started again on friday. you know. i wouldn't change a thing. i do believe i got portrait in there. two of teddy roosevelt at. you all know the man in the arena, one of my favorite parts of it who errors, who comes up short again and again. but there is no effort without error and shortcoming. who spends himself in a worthy cause? who knows the triumph of high achievement? and if he

fails, at least he fails. while daring greatly. i always like to take a risk. saturday i took a risk for the american public regardless what anybody says. no one knew whether that would pass . the democrats didn't want that bill. yes they pull a fire alarm. yes, they do their conga line. yes, they wanted to delay , but it was all for the american people. i could not look the troops in the eye and say i would not pay them for those who spoke on the floor, i thank them for their positive talks. i don't know what those who voted against and said there were some deal. they were never a part of any deal. for those who said about what we accomplished, i'm proud of what we accomplished from the parents. bill of rights to our energy bill. but if they want to

hold me liable because the senate didn't take it up or the president didn't take it up, that's politics for what i know. but the one thing i do know, this country is too great for small visions of those eight to any child that are listening and who are coming to visit the capitol. this is a place i want you to visit. i liked opening the capitol back up again. i like taking away the metal detectors. i liked committees to being able to work. i like people being able to visit. i hope you like being able to be back in. i think it was important that that members actually show up to work as well . you know, to paraphrase lou gehrig, he said, i might have been given a bad break, but i truly i still consider myself to be the luckiest man on the face of the earth. there's no other country that you could rise to be the 55th speaker, not get an

internship and be able to fight for the american public. so it was my greatest honor to be able to do it. i love my conference. well i love to be able the ability. i've been a part of the leadership team for quite some time. we won two majorities as leader. i'm proud of the fact we only gained races, only gained seats. i'm proud of the fact, as the republican leader, we elected more women, we elected more minorities. we expanded the base. i'm proud of the fact that for the five years i lead her to election cycles, we gained five more seats in california to five more in new york. we won in places no one thought we could win. the same thing. you would underestimate me. you always said we'd lose each time around , we kept gaining. i intend to make sure that we gain and keep the majority in the next cycle as well. with that, i look forward to your positive questions and it remains to be seen who takes over as house speaker, but it's sort of an indication as to where we are

politically when you help all orchestrate a compromise bill that keeps the government functioning and that leads to your ouster, the ouster organized by the hard right members of his party who have been against him since day one, he wasn't going to get the speakership until he cut a deal so that one member and one member only could bring up this vote. >> and that's what happened here. kind of did himself in. the question is what happens now? because, larry, until we have a house speaker, all business by the house comes to a grinding halt. they meet on thursday. it's not a clear at all who republicans will put forth. democrats will put forth hakeem jeffries, of course. but if they don't get enough people on board and republicans have the majority in the house, right. but they can't get it together. no. house speaker. that means they can't do any business. and remember that stopgap bill that they passed to keep the checks coming, the government running only goes until mid november. right so there's a lot of urgent, pressing business as well. >> we'll see what happens as things move forward. moving on, new york judge has imposed a limited gag order on former president donald trump in his civil business fraud trial.

that's after mr. trump re circulated a disparaging social media post about judge arthur enguerrand's principal law clerk. the former president later deleted that post. the scope of the gag order applies to all parties in this case, and it prohibits verbal attacks on court staff. the former president appeared in new york state court in lower manhattan on monday morning during opening statements, president biden's son, hunter, has pleaded not guilty to felony gun charges. the president's son is facing three counts, including illegal gun possession, all tied to his previous history of drug abuse. these new charges come after a plea deal between hunter biden and prosecutors fell apart back in july. the judge in the case revealing today that hunter biden has passed a series of drug tests over the past few months. he's also been ordered to remain alcohol free. >> a former visiting scientist at lawrence livermore lab is one of three people sharing the nobel prize in physics and largely of lund university in

discovered that i created images of them nude, not real were posted all over social media. >> that is bullying. that's harassment. that's leading to a lot of emotional damage. and it's going around and you know what, michael? it's hard to stop . >> you know, this sounds exactly like what everyone in hollywood has had to dealt with, deal with, you know, you see all the time the women's stars saying, look, that ■isn't me. and yet they're all over the place in these nude photos. i i don't know what a world we've become. >> it's so weird, you know, with every technical, technological advance that has useful applications, you get things like this. i know. >> it's terrible. okay, look, you've probably seen the dorm makeover videos on social media, right? students and their parents are spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars to transform the bland rooms, then sharing it on tiktok. a bad idea, says a college law professor. she says the students are often giving away too much information, like where they go

to school, what dorm they're in, and even in their room numbers. yeah, this was quite the trend last year and i wondered about that. but you know what? so ny kids post dorm videos of them talking about all sorts of things, walking tours and let me show you my dorm and they get thousands of likes and i don't know, i think kids just don't care about their privacy these days. >> must we over share everything ? yeah, i mean, that's kind of the case nowadays, and especially for younger people on social media. you know, as the father of two daughters who are thankfully out of college age, you know, i don't have to worry about that necessarily. but you could see where there would be some security risks potentially. michael >> oh, totally. there is. i mean, you know, i look because this is my job and i've worried about privacy for decades. you know, this was just pounded in my kid's head. so they never did anything like this. and i would tell everybody, really, you ought to be pounding it into your kids heads, too. you want

them to be able to show the inside of the dorm room if they're very, you know, excited about it, happy about it, proud of it. but they don't have to say where they are. right. right and give any room numbers, even the building they're in. so i don't know. it's common sense, but they're not taught it. they're not going to know. yeah all good points. >> moving on to some sports news, obviously not an easy year for fans of the a's or the giants, but 2023 turned out to be a banner year for major league baseball as a whole. in fact, the playoffs beginning today. the league posted its best attendance figures in 30 years, up nearly 10. also saw increased tv and streaming viewership. analysts credit the shortest game time since 1985. thanks. largely in part to the implementation of pitch clocks. yeah, it's just the buzz. the league needs with the playoffs now underway. and spencer, you are a huge baseball fan. they shaved almost a half an hour per game using the pitch clock. and i think i'm not a big rob manfred fan. he's the

commissioner. but this one, he got right? >> i think so too. i totally agree. big baseball fan that i am. i'm not such a purist that i'm against changes like this to speed the game up, make it more interesting, more watchable, more attractive to casual fans. i love it. i went to a giants game recently and i got there, i don't know, seven over ten and the game was over at 905. i thought, that's pretty good. >> fine, but no starting the runner on second base. >> oh no, i don't like that that that rule. i don't like at all. if you're going to go into extra innings, go into extra innings, the old fashioned way, earn your spot at second base. >> that's right. okay move over big ben and buckingham palace. london may soon be boasting a new tourist attraction and it's underground. an effort is underway to allow people to explore the city's mile long series of tunnels. wow. built as bomb shelters during world war two. the plan calls for the tunnels to be transformed into glitzy, interactive, comfortable spaces like this, complete with immersive screens.

pointed to another risk that home owners may not fully appreciate. and that threat, of course, is climate related specifically damaging floods that most people are not insured for. spencer christian with the story. you could say leanne mcginley has san francisco bay for a next door neighbor. >> a newly completed section of seawall sits just a few hundred feet away from her front door in foster city and the multi-million dollar upgrade means leanne and her neighbors will not be required to purchase flood insurance, which can run hundreds of dollars or more. >> i am retired and of course

that's a fixed income home right now. i would probably be all right tapping into savings, but no one wants to do that. >> but balancing the cost of flood protection and flood insurance can be an increasingly expensive challenge for communities around the bay area. climate change is predicted to drive increasing sea level rise and ultra wet storm cycles known as atmospheric rivers, leaving thousands of families woefully unprepared for an abc7 news data team analysis found more than 300,000 homes and businesses around the rim of san francisco bay have an 80% chance of flooding over the next 30 years and still nearly 90% of homeowners may not have flood insurance. >> more people are going to need it. more people need it now. we know that, you know, last winter when california saw those deluges and a lot of people had losses and damage and there was a lot of eye opening. wow. i didn't realize that i could flood. >> amy bach directs the consumer nonprofit united policyholders.

she says the numbers reflect a growing strain on the state's insurance system from natural disasters, including floods, wildfires and earthquakes. with the current patchwork of public and private coverage struggling to spread the risk. >> the way things are going, we are going to have to have some kind of a federal disaster insurance program, just like we created the affordable care act. and we said these are the essential benefits that an insurer must provide and insure cannot reject somebody who has a preexisting condition. so i think we're going to have to get there with property. >> last month, governor gavin newsom signed an executive order designed to stabilize the state's property insurance market, potentially allowing insurers to factor the future risk from climate change into their rates while the complicated market continues to shake itself out, leanne mcginley is grateful for a bit of breathing room from the new seawall, at least where flood insurance is concerned. >> i was originally for the project and even more so now i

think the future is very important not only for me and my family but for other generations. and this is important for that protection. >> spencer christian reporting there. and you can go to abc7 news dot com to check your neighborhood flood risk in the decades moving forward and we have interactive links with maps showing other climate threats as well, including wildfires. all right, that'll do it for this edition of abc7 news at four. i'm larry beale, abc7 news at five is coming up next
