morning. a possible kidnaping of a four year old girl in san francisco. police believe a woman who is a relative took fatima abreu vieira from her home without her family's knowledge or consent. the tima has brown hair, brown eyes and was last seen wearing a pink pajama top and tan pants. her dad reported her missing to police yesterday morning. ines barari is a relative accused of taking fatima, the woman's eight year old son was also with her. police say it's possible they are staying in a hotel in the tenderloin where they were all last seen. so anyone with any information, look at the photos, please call san francisco police . >> new overnight, the city of richmond has become the first city in the country to adopt a resolution condemning the nation of israel, accusing it of ethnic cleansing in gaza during its war with hamas. the city council heard hours of public comment during last night's meeting. the majority of speakers applauding the resolution motion in support of the palestinian people

impacted in gaza. some callers opposed to the resolution even claim that it is anti-semitic and divisive. the resolution before us is a resolution calling to basic humanity, basic humanity in the name of innocent and helpless. >> it is a resolution of heroes. >> this resolution is divisive. it is inflammatory. it is one sided. it is factually incorrect . but there are many, many ways that i would love to sit down with you and explain to you the language that is being used and why it's and why it's inaccurate . >> but in the end, the resolution passed in a 5 to 1 vote. council member césar cepeda voted in opposition of the resolution before the meeting even got started. the jewish community and many others voiced strong opposition. the chair of the contra costa county board of supervisors, john gioia, wrote a letter to richmond city council. it reads in part, quote, the resolution fails to condemn the terrorist hamas killing of innocent israeli men. women and children,

which unfortunately started this recent brutal warfare. i believe it's important at times like these to bring our community together rather than create divisiveness. the passage of any resolution, regardless of attempts to amend it, will only contribute to the divisiveness. this morning there is a major roadblock for self driving car company crews. the dmv has suspended the company's permits to operate fully autonomous cars in san francisco. abc's seven news reporter lena howland is in the city with what it means for the industry going forward. lena >> reggie what this means is that crews cars must have a to legally operate within theder city. that's until the company can make a number of changes that the dmv is calling for. now, the dmv says these cars are not safe for the public's operation, and they say the manufacturer has misrepresented information related to the safety of the autonomous technology of its cars. we have seen several times where crews,

cars stall on the street and block both traffic and first responders. earlier this month, a woman was trapped underneath a cruz ave after being hit by another car. san francisco supervisor aaron peskin says crews needs to be more transparent when it comes to sharing data. >> these companies know when their cars are breaking. these companies know when their cars are doing, you know, charging a pedestrian or going through an intersection with a red light. they need to make all of that data transparent. and if they do that, we can actually see whether or not their software is evolving and becoming safer. >> we also checked in with mayor london breed shortly after the news of this suspension. she says she wants to see crews operate in san francisco, but she wants to see it done safely. in a statement from crews, the company said we will be pausing operations of our driverless avs in san francisco. ultimately, we develop and deploy autonomous

vehicles in an effort to save lives. the dmv says it will not allow crews. it will not allow crews to use their driverless vehicles until their inspectors deem them safe. there is not a set timeline at this time. for now, reporting live in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you, lena. we are getting new information about the plan. san francisco is making to host the asia-pacific economic cooperation or apec summit. now, in just two and a half weeks, leaders from around the world will be converging on the city. police in san francisco have made it abundantly clear there will be no mass sweeps of unhoused individuals as to prepare under a revised city guidance, a person will be asked to move their tent and their belongings if they decline an offer for shelter. people who move to a shelter can take up to two suitcases with them. they are offered storage for the rest of their belongings. the city's health healthy streets operation center handles this work, and we

spoke with one person who's been moving around the city and just refused an offer for shelter. so you would prefer to live out on the streets than get shelter? >> that's correct, ma'am. >> is it that bad? yes, it is. yes it is. >> it's awful. they treat you like garbage. >> some people living on the streets close to the major events planned moscone center have started to clear the area because they believe they will ultimately be forced to do so. mayor london breed also addressing concerns of seniors living inside apex secure perimeter or those impacted by street closures. >> we know there's going to be impacts. we know that there are people who are concerned. we're going to do everything we can to address what people's concerns are. but make no mistake, this is going to have a significant impact on our economy. so we anticipate that almost $53 million into the san francisco economy, the mayor says efforts are being made to assist seniors living inside the secured area,

especially those who rely on paratransit. >> the city urges anyone with questions or concerns to call three one, one or access apex website. >> city leaders are calling on san francisco mayor london breed to make payments to businesses that could be potentially hurt by apec. the board of supervisors voted yesterday in support of a resolution that would help to cover portions of losses by businesses impacted by the conference. the chronicle is reporting this move would tap into $10 million set aside in the city's public fund for logistical costs. local businesses are expecting a big financial loss because of the tight security measures around moscone center. >> licensed street vendors in san francisco's mission district are reportedly pushing back on a temporary vending ban that is supposed to start next month. vendors and city officials held a meeting yesterday to discuss the parameters of that 90 day ban. our media partner, the sf standard, reports the ban would be in place along mission street between cesar chavez and 14th street. sf public works

pentagon also revealing there have been 13 attacks on us military bases in iraq and syria in the last week. an iranian backed militant group claims more us bases in the middle east will also be targeted as a result of the israel-hamas war. >> if iran or its proxies attack us personnel anywhere. make no mistake we will defend our people. we will defend our security switch lightly and decisively as the war appears to intensify, the us is still asking israel to delay a ground invasion into gaza. >> the white house is rejecting calls for a cease fire, but us officials have suggested a humanitarian pause. reggiane kumasi. i'll take it. >> jobina. we'll take you to live. doppler seven, along with satellite. and what we are tracking is a cold front that's going to press through here as the day goes on. you can see the area of low pressure spinning in the pacific northwest. here's the front just beginning to move through medford, oregon. and as it sinks south today, it'll
