>> uh. the official flag for apec, the asia-pacific economic cooperation summit, will be raised at city hall. it marks the beginning of a week of diplomacy, placing san francisco at the epicenter of international attention. journalists from around the world will arrive to cover the events and a long list of dignitaries, none bigger than president biden and china's ji jinping. security will be as intense as the excitement, but expect traffic jams and parts of the city made off limits. but with it comes the chance to remind the world of the limitless beauty of san francisco and the people that make it so special. abc7 news will capture it all. we will indeed. and good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley and i'm ama daetz. >> the week of a high level trade talks means security must be held at the highest level. san francisco police are addressing that tonight. yeah events officially start on saturday and run to next friday. >> a 21 member economies from across the asia pacific region will take part in this. and we're already seeing messages of activism. >> environmental advocates hung

the 75 foot banner on the bay bridge going into san francisco today. >> and with more rallies or demonstrations in the city ahead tonight, san francisco police chief bill scott is laying out his department's game plan. >> the message is this, though, and i just want to reiterate this criminal activity will not be tolerated. and if anybody thinks that they're going to come and protest or in the name of protest and hurt somebody else or commit crimes or destroy property or light fires, that will not be tolerated at all. so i just want to reemphasize that we will do it constitutionally. we will respect everybody's rights. >> chief scott says the city is expecting up to 20,000 people, including hundreds of ceos and close to 1000 media members. we now go to abc7 news reporter tim johns here in studio with us with how the city is hoping to capitalize on all of this energy. tim. yeah >> now on the streets of the city, there's a palpable energy these days as it seems like almost everyone is getting ready for apec. of course there will

be dozens of events happening at the summit itself, but outside of the confines of the moscone center, the city will also be very much alive. san francisco is gearing up to host its biggest international event in decades. but away from the diplomat and heads of state gathered at the moscone center, other important events will be happening around the city, too. >> i think this is a real opportunity for the city. it's certainly an economic opportunity for 30,000, upwards of 30,000 people are going to be coming here and they're going to be going back and telling their stories about what they saw. >> supervisor rafael mandelman is spearheading one of those events at bow, a gay bar in the castro cleverly called gay peak. mandelman says it's aimed at lgbtq apec attendees, many of whom come from countries where gay rights are little to nonexistent. >> but we thought that there if apec is going to be happening in san francisco, it's got to be gay, it's got to be queer and we're trying to give have a little bit of that for that week. many of the events happening are more than just fun things to do during the apex

summit, though, several of the organizers tell me they're also a way to promote san francisco and our values. >> while also pushing back against the doom loop narrative that's taken hold in both the national and international media. perhaps nowhere is that more true than in chinatown. one of the city neighborhoods hit the hardest over the past few years. we have shows at the clarion with the grand avenue follies. >> we have of disco music going on out, you know, on grand avenue next week. >> stephen lee owns several small chinatown businesses. he says there are dozens of events planned in the area throughout the apec summit, starting with an asian night market this weekend for people who are visiting, they'll find a new and unique flavors that are unique to san francisco chinatown. >> but they could also hopefully feel like they're home. you know, a taste of familiarity across town supervisor joel engardio is also planning ways to push back against the doom loop narrative taking place on the last day of apec.

>> his summit two sunset happy hour and bike ride aims to show off the joyful side of san francisco by cycling with locals and visitors from golden gate park to the ocean. >> we want to introduce people to the wonderful sunset district . i feel like a lot is happening out here on the west side of san francisco. we want to bring people out to see all the amazing things that that are happening in the sunset. >> and if you plan on attending any of these events during the next week or so, officials are recommending you consider taking public transportation. as we said, there will be multiple road and freeway closures happening around san francisco throughout the duration of the apec summit. in the studio tonight, tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. it will be a fascinating week, no doubt. and abc's seven news is your station when it comes to everything. apec 2023, our complete coverage has everything that you need to know from the events. the traffic, the street closures and the security, as well as the economic impact. you'll find it all on the front page of our website abc7 news.com or your abc7 news bay

area app. >> all right, let's move now to the north bay where plans are in motion to bring a margaritaville resort to the bay area. yeah, the same ones made popular by the late jimmy buffett, a so-called camp margaritaville would be located on the southern end of lake berryessa in napa county. abc seven news reporter j.r stone joins us live tonight with new details. j.r. it's important to note that what was approved tuesday is a negotiating deal. >> so basically it allows the developer representing the margaritaville hotels and resorts group who is local to work with the county to try to come to an agreement on a resort over the next two years. a big task since this is a $95 million investment from the margaritaville group, according to county officials who spoke about the project, will have think about a 50 slip marina will have gas docks, restaurants , rv parking cabins. >> we're not locked into a specific number of cabins or a specific number of slips.

>> what is being proposed here is dramatically smaller than what was there in 2000. whatever. when the previous resort shut down. >> and not a lot of folks believe that we would get here. and we are so to me, i look at anyone that wants to do business in this area as an incredible opportunity to make sure it's done fair, responsibly. and it's a win win. >> the area on lake berryessa that we're talking about is the steel canyon resort area. it's on the southwest side of the napa county lake. you can see it here on the map. and in the picture, margaritaville hotels and resorts has properties all across the country, including four here in california for community members who spoke at tuesday night's meeting are very concerned about this project. >> that just doesn't seem like nature based recreation to me. the very idea of something called margarita ville in napa county is kind of cringe y. >> i am blown away by this. the size of this, that that's a city

that's not rural recreation. >> this is way, way too large. this is a developer for the lake, not for a destiny nation for a lot of people to sing. jimmy buffett i'm a biologist, a naturalist, and i am a jimmy buffett fan. >> nevertheless, i have a huge problem with such a trendy concept as margaritaville, which does indeed make me cringe. >> officials say the revenue generate by a project like this would eventually allow for a new police station, improve fire services and road improvements. but this is an approval for a two year negotiated situation. so they have to work at the design, environmental impact and so much more than it would have to be approved. approved. bottom line, we have a long way to go, but camp margaritaville in the bay area is one step closer to happening. j.r. stone, abc seven news. >> all right, thank you so much,

j.r. and jimmy buffett was paid a well-deserved tribute on the 57th annual cmas. it was one of the highlights of the awards you saw right here on abc seven tonight. the tribute included kenny chesney, the zac brown band and a member of buffett's band. one of the biggest surprises of the night was song of the year and receiving the award for the song of the year goes to fast car. >> isn't that cool? >> tracy chapman won the award for a song. she released three five years ago. fast car. the song, as i'm sure you've probably heard, covered by luke combs this year, who also won an award for it. the awards held in nashville are hosted by luke bryan and peyton manning. we are back, and you know what that means. >> yep. travis and taylor weren't available. exactly >> that's kind of funny. the biggest winner of the night was louisiana singer lainey wilson, who took home five awards. it was a good show, but one of the

biggest strikes of the summer is over. >> self-driving robotaxis hit another huge speed bump in san francisco and some good news if you're planning to drive for your thanksgiving holiday. >> all of that and more is making up tonight's jam packed abc7 news to know. >> take a look. after 118 days on strike the screen actors guild and major film studios have reached a tentative agreement. the deal boosts actors pay from streaming services and sets up new safeguards for using ai. it all still needs to be officially approved by the union, but as for your shows and movies, the hope is this new contract could see hollywood back up and running within weeks. >> san francisco based cruise is voluntarily recalling its entire autonomous fleet. it's to fix software bugs with its collision detection subsystem. a cruise robotaxi recently ran over a woman crossing market street after she had been hit by another car. california's dmv already suspended cruise's self-driving permit last month, a big blow at next door, laying

off 25% of its workforce or about 200 employees. >> the san francisco headquartered neighborhood social network is seeing only slight jumps in weekly users, but now adds to the near daily list of bay area tech layoffs. >> good news on gas prices are tumbling just in time for thanksgiving. the national average is down almost $0.40 a gallon in a month. california's is down almost $0.70 in that time in the bay area, you're currently paying anywhere from $5 to $5.30 per gallon on. all right. and we do have much more news to know. we do, including the biggest moments from tonight's gop presidential debate.

in florida tonight in the third debate among gop presidential hopefuls and things heated up very quickly. >> do you want a leader from a different generation who's going to put this country first? or do you want dick cheney in three inch heels? >> i'd first like to say there are five inch heels and i don't wear them unless you can run in them. >> vivek ramaswami and nikki haley continued their recent history of clashing on the debate stage. they were joined by former new jersey governor chris christie. south carolina senator tim scott and florida governor ron desantis, who's trailing only donald trump now in the latest polls. abortion access, foreign policy and the israel, israel, hamas war. all key topics tonight. >> in order for us to have a powerful response from america, we have to be in a position of strength. the last time that we turned our back on a shooting war in europe, it bought us just a couple of years. and then 500,000 americans were killed in europe to defeat hitler is not

>> joseph grijalva joined the army when he was 20 years old. >> when i was growing up, i was getting a little bit of trouble. okay, so this guy that lived across the street from me was a vietnam veteran, and he convinced me to join the army because you're just getting in trouble. why don't you just join the service supervisor? >> otto lee was the guest speaker. >> i want everybody to know that us here, santa clara county, we really do care about our veterans. >> lee is a 28 year navy veteran . he first served during the gulf war and in 2008 was deployed to iraq, where he helped plan and execute the largest drawdown of troops since vietnam. lee presented each veteran a certificate of appreciation. >> they don't get to stay at home, right? these are folks who come to work every day dealing with this pandemic. and this is the type of selfless service that we see. those who have served our military, those who have served in the hospital. so these are true heroes in our community, other local veterans recognized included steve van decaro, a former infantryman in the army who went to west point in 1972 and spent 30 years in

uniform. >> fondacaro helped bring the first standdown event to santa clara county in july. standdown is a two day period that brings all the veteran services and providers to one place supervisor lee said. stand down will now be held in the south bay annually in san jose. lauren martinez, abc7 news. >> and tomorrow the county will celebrate another big step to help veterans. the purchase of the veterans housing facility off alum rock avenue in san jose. the county plans to expand the housing for homeless for homeless veterans while enhancing services for the more than 50,000 veterans in the south bay. >> new developments on what is becoming a tense diplomatic battle over pandas. after five decades of giant pandas in our nation's capital, the three pandas from the smithsonian national zoo are now on a plane back to china. it marks the end of more than 50 years of chinese pandas being housed at the zoo. they are part of china's loan program meant to serve as a

symbol of friendship between china and any host country. but with relations between the us and china on shaky ground currently, the program fading here in the united states might indicate a diplomat shift. >> you get just so attached to them and so invested in them, but i'm sure they're going to have a good life overseas. >> zoo staff are calling it a hiatus. however, chinese officials have yet to say whether the program will continue. now, as for the trip home, if you're wondering how the pandas are being cared for in the long flight, the plane is stocked with all kinds of panda friendly snacks, including more than 200 pounds of bamboo. 313 pounds of biscuits, both leafy and low starch. there are also apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, sugar cane and more on the in-flight menu. >> they will, of course, be very well cared for. a lot of people very sad to see them go, of course, but they'll be okay. all right. let's turn our attention now to the weather forecast. cool in the morning. that's right. >> let's get to abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel for what to expect. sandhya
