the abc7 news i-team. >> aipac closures and the impact on emergency response times in san francisco are raising concerns over congestion and communication. good evening. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. aipac is the big summit bringing about 30,000 people, including many world leaders, to san francisco. so it starts this weekend with the main events underway next week. >> abc7 news i-team reporter stephanie sierra spoke with paramedics and the secret service to get a clearer picture of the impact and she's with us tonight with the latest on all of this and a very big week coming, steph. >> that's right and many impacts as you pointed out, aside from the security precautions, the traffic congestion alone at aipac is expected to bring significant challenges for ambulances transporting patient s. the secret service says it will be under control, but some emts and paramedics say the backup plans are not clear. aipac will be busy extremely busy from high security for the president and foreign dignitaries to preparations for

potential violence and protests. but what about 911 emergencies? peter greene, a retired paramedic and 42 year veteran, ems consultant, explains. san francisco paramedics are worried. they say the total time on task for 911 calls in soma, downtown, north of downtown and western edition. typically take 45 minutes up to an hour. but with aipac, i think easily 90 minutes, potentially more due to widespread closures in soma and nob hill, greene says response times will likely be a problem in north beach and fisherman's wharf, then extending into the tenderloin union square and the eastern part of soma with a primary focus on a stretch of market street downtown. >> everyone's been told, oh, market street will be open. then they're hearing rumors that no market street may be closed at times. market is an extreme key route for the ambulances, greene says emts are concerned about access to hospital systems that

regularly deal with the high volume of transports like saint francis memorial hospital that will be impacted by proposed closures on pine street. nobody even seems to know what's going on up there. >> in addition, ambulances transporting critical care patients from the east bay will face blocked off ramps on i-80 starting next wednesday through friday. but the secret service says there are certain places where those emergency medical response assets have been pre-positioned. >> and we have a whole plan as it pertains to medical and health and how to deal with that, whether inside our zone or outside our zone, greene says the ambulance hubs most likely to be impacted will be at the corner of polk and post streets and leavenworth and clay streets . >> the congestion paired with another problem all providers right now are critically short of paramedics, and they're short of emts. >> we've also brought in additional federal assets from the health and human services, including doctors, physicians. et cetera.

>> emts need early warning of demonstrate zones because it may require additional overtime. staffing has there been early warning of that? >> my understand reading from all my sources, there's been absolutely zero. >> the i-team asked sfpd and the secret service how they will notify ems of potential closures and their response. >> san francisco fire department, including emergency medical services, is embedded with the secret service at various communicate ation centers during this event. any activity not just protest, but any activity that impacts roadways or the ability of first responders to get to where they need to go will be known immediately. >> the i-team obtained an email sent by san francisco's ems director regarding guidance for ems personnel, saying, quote, there may be situations in which a patient is transferred at a security checkpoint, so crews should review call notes closely. but greene says local paramedics and emts tell him there seems to be a complete lack of information. now, there's also concern about highway 101 closures affecting the transport out of burn patients that rely on getting to

saint francis memorial in the city. and now because of those staffing shortages, we've also heard the state is considering hiring ambulance strike teams to assist from other areas. and those conversations are happening as we speak. >> okay. thank you, stephanie. well the road closures will not just affect emergency responders. >> that's why people are being advised to take public transit. but even that's going to be infected and affected. sfmta which operates muni, is dealing with most of the changes. it's rerouting muni lines, adjusting muni metro service and changing where and when the cable cars operate. >> we got everybody coming in. it's an important summit. so you know, you have to just take it just go with the flow. >> bart is making trains longer to increase capacity because it expects more riders. bart is planning to operate its schedule as usual. you should know that. so as caltrain ac transit and the san francisco bay ferry traffic signs on east bay freeways and the bay bridge are alerting people to expect delays

to say the month of october was the hottest on record globally. it was 3.1 degrees warmer than the average temperatures for the same month in pre industrial times. scientists say this year has been so hot, partly because ocean temperatures are going up, which means they're doing less to counter act global warming and the warming oceans are leading to the rapid melting of ice and glaciers, long thought to be stable. >> yeah. a new study by san jose state researchers shows how dire the situation really is becoming . abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has the story. >> the scenes of greenland. and don't let its name fool you. the

back that ice. >> so as they weaken this permits in an increase of the ice that can make it to the ocean. and that causes sea level rise and the impacts are felt globally, including here in the bay area. ice is added to the ocean in northern greenland. it melts and it finds its way through occurrence. so it really spreads across the entire world. and of course sea level rise is one of the most concerning components of our in our changing climate. and that's because most of our global population, like in the bay area , lives along the coast. so to keep the world above water, the goal of the study that wood coauthored is to raise awareness about ice loss and sea level rise in order to take steps now to prevent further harm. it's a direct benefit to society. the more we know about these processes, the better we can adapt to it and the more we can help mitigate negative impacts on society resulting from sea level rise. >> justin dorsey, abc seven news. well from the big picture of weather, we'll get a look at our local weather for this

the two early winners, hardy and lainey wilson, earned trophies for musical event of the year and music video of the year for their collaboration. >> wait in the truck. >> entertainment reporter george pennacchio is in nashville with the final countdown to country music's biggest night. we can expect to see a lot of different styles and eras of country music on the 57th cma awards from the legendary tanya tucker performing with little big town to cma newcomer jelly roll, who is still amazed by his five nominations. >> i woke up that morning not sure i'd be nominated, and i'm looking at it. i'm laying in bed next to my beautiful wife and i go, you're not going to believe this? and she goes, so she goes to console me. she's like, oh, it's okay, baby. you know, you're still new to the genre. i was like, we're the most nominated male. we lost our stuff together. >> lainey wilson is the most nominated artist with nine nods in all. luke bryan will once again host the show with his pal peyton manning, and we'll also hear him perform a medley of some of his 30 number one songs.

>> we felt like it'd be fun to just do a medley of those fun songs. and a lot of times, you know, you never know what how the mood of the whole show is going to go if people are releasing a lot of kind of mid-tempo, slower songs. so i just told the producers, i'm like, hey, let me go out there and do some fun songs and we'll make sure we get downtown nashville rocking and get people rocking at home. >> other artists who stopped by the bridgestone arena to rehearse for wednesday night's big show, old dominion. ashley mcbryde, cody johnson and dan and shay shane have been on a journey the last few years. >> it's been a been a roller coaster and i feel like we're in the best place personally and professionally that we've ever been. and it just feels like a fresh start, a brand new start for us. and i think we're taking things a little bit more in stride now and appreciate the moments a little bit more. so being here is extra special tonight. >> time to put on the formal wear, the 57th annual cma awards kicks off later tonight here on abc seven. >> good stuff. >> now catch the cma awards at

8:00 right here on abc seven. >> that's right. you'll be warm inside. what's it going to be like outside? >> yeah, it was cool this morning to be sure, before it warmed up. meteorologist sanjay patel is back with the forecast. >> yeah, and it's only going to get colder tomorrow morning, ama and dan. but it will be another mild day tomorrow after noon. not quite as warm as today as we look at air quality, it's good across the entire region. everyone in green. a gorgeous view from our emeryville camera as we look back toward san francisco, expecting the good air quality to remain with us the next several days. and on live doppler seven, all is quiet . tomorrow the clouds will be on the increase. those temperatures decrease, seeing low 60s to low 70s as we head into saturday, it will warm up a little bit. you'll notice those 70s are back in the picture in the low to mid 70s. sunday is still pretty nice and then we are going to introduce you to what is coming next week, the climate prediction center is saying above average precipitation out west, below average for the central and the eastern portion of the country. there's a 60 to

80% likelihood that we'll see above average rainfall here in the bay area next week. so get all that rain gear ready as we are in for quite a stretch of wet weather. if all verifies tomorrow morning, cold, cooler afternoon, a few showers, not out of the question friday morning. veteran day and sunday are looking pleasant. a little warmer for outdoor activities next week, tuesday and wednesday . we have that level one storm, but that could change. it could become a two. so stay tuned. okay. all right. yeah. >> thanks, andy, very much. >> all right. larry balzer, sports hoping the niners can turn this around, right? i should have asked you ahead of time. >> what's the forecast for jacksonville on sunday? >> think about that. >> i'm going to guess muggy, humid, i don't know, 40 niners out to snap their three game losing streak sunday at jacksonville. this is a welcome sight right here. deebo samuel back on the practice field his status for

stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough,

and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya. jacksonville trying to snap their three game losing streak. going to be a lot of scrutiny on new defensive coordinator steve wilks. he's new this season. he's coming down from the coach's box to call the defense from the sidelines. most coaches prefer to be up above. so you can watch the all 22, but he'll communicate better on the sidelines anyway. the offense should get jump started with wide receiver deebo samuel back in practice, had a shoulder injury in cleveland, forced him to miss two games sunday. will also mark the debut of newly

acquired 49 ers defensive end chase young as abc seven's chris alvarez reports that young's teammates fired up to add the former defensive rookie of the year. >> well, larry, today was the first time we had a chance to talk to chase young's former college teammate and good buddy, nick bosa, about the trade to san francisco. his reaction was great, but fred warner's was even better. fred, what was your initial reaction when you got chase? >> woo hoo! yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. >> it just seems to always get better and better around here, you know, we always seem to make , you know, big, big trades. you know, kind of at the deadline around here. and so that's another big one for us. really excited to have him. heck of a player got the right mindset. >> yeah george called me and let me know and then i facetimed him right away. i was in here and it was just shocking, honestly, we didn't ever expect to play together and it's a little weird seeing him walking around this building. >> any time you go to a new place, that's always a little weird for people. football players, just like anybody else. and you want to go in there and

meet everyone and stuff. but i think it's always nice to have someone you've known prior to kind of show you the ropes and understand who you are and let other guys know. and just an easier transition for people. >> so including sunday's game at jacksonville three of the niners next four games are on the road. i asked wide receiver brandon aiyuk today what the biggest differences between november and december football from the previous months. he said this is when the real dogs come out to play. it's going to be an interesting stretch run larry. >> all right. thank you, chris. jags atop the afc south with a six and two record. they have the longest win streak in the nfl at five consecutive games and they're coming off a bye as well. i did check the forecast in the break. 688 degrees 50% chance of rain, traffic and weather together on the sevens. jags quarterback trevor lawrence will be the first to go up against this new look defense with nick bosa and chase young on the edges and he knows he's going to have to get that ball out quickly. >> you're used to having a plan. you're used to being, for myself, speaking, being back there and having a plan of what i want to do, how i want to start the game, how i want to

kind of settle in. i mean, these guys are pretty unique. you've got to be great at taking what the defense gives you. you've got to be able to have explosives, too. you can't just you can't just throw everything underneath and you can't just run the ball every play. like you've got to try to take some shots and take advantage of some stuff in the back end. >> and now sandhya says, my forecast is wrong. but anyway, you'll see on sunday. okay one baseball note the angels have hired 71 year old ron wash horton as their new manager. a's fans will remember wash from his stints with the athletics, had an eight year run as skipper of the rangers, spent the past seven seasons with the braves, the angels. whoosh! they haven't won a playoff game since 2009 and they could lose shohei ohtani to free agency this winter so that could be a major rebuild warriors in denver taking on the reigning nba champion nuggets tonight could be a measuring stick type of game, except draymond green is out for personal reasons. so perhaps a feast for nikola jokic. meanwhile spurs rookie phenom victor wembanyama making his madison square garden debut in new york. it did not go well when he didn't make his first shot until the third quarter and san antonio was getting blown out. he does have lovely form

though. look at the rotation right there. another basket coming right here. wemby is up to 14 points, but the knicks are up 113 96. in the fourth. and this was funny, a photo was posted of tom brady and the 74 wembanyama brady then decided to make his own edits and adjusted the photo, saying, quote, media outlets asking for permission to use this photo. yes you may. here's the file. disregard other photoshopped images of me and victor brady. looks like he grew a foot in half a second photo to photo by the way, new york fans, they spent probably hundreds or thousands of dollars for great seats. and they were frustrated because wembanyama couldn't score. he was just completely ineffective. and so the chance began over. ray did over every time he touched the ball or chanting over it. the knicks, you know, the new york fans are tough. yes. you know, it didn't take long for them to turn on him. i spent how much to see

you. wow, that's good. >> all right. thanks, larry. >> coming up tonight on abc seven after jeopardy! at seven, you will not see wheel of fortune because on the red carpet at the cma awards airs at 730. the 57th annual cma awards begin at eight. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley for sandyha patel larry biel, all of us here. we appreciate your time. enjoy the cmas and we'll see you again tonight at 11:00. >> sandy a 72 and 30% chance of rain. i don't know. that's right. oh this is abc. live in san francisco, live in the south bay in san jose in concord, live in oakland. >> yes. >> you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. >> here we are. we are. we are. we are. we are. we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you. download our abc seven bay area streaming app. jo
