popular resort chain in the north bay. getting some pushback. why not? everybody wants to waste away again in margaritaville. have you ever been to margaritaville? >> yes, i have. >> i've was it on an island in the caribbean? it was the one in puerto rico. i knew it. yes i went to the one in the cayman islands. we probably had a water slide and the whole thing. and you know what? i got my life. >> i had a good old time, but it's not for everyone. no, and not for every place. >> yes. if you're on a cruise ship and you want to go down to waterslide. yeah, that is the place. that's the place. good morning. on this thursday, november 9th, we're going to start the check of our forecast with spencer. >> okay. >> would not recommend a waterslide this morning. okay a little chilly out there. >> maybe indoor water park, maybe indoor. >> here's a look at our forecast headlines. we've had some frost and some spots, partly cloudy and cool this afternoon, though. shower chance for tomorrow, but only light showers mainly in the north bay, dry and warmer this weekend. that's what i'm looking forward to. and rainy pattern likely to develop early next

week. but right now we're looking at that lasting chill, that lingering chill in our inland areas where temperatures are still in the mid to upper 30s right around the bay shoreline. we have 40s, but this afternoon it'll warm up a little bit. we'll see some mid to upper 60s around the bay and in our inland areas under filtered sunshine. jobina >> thank you, spencer. good morning, everybody. so we are going to start with the bay bridge because it is packed here as you travel into san francisco right now and that is due to some road work that is happening on the harrison street off ramp. it's currently shut down for road work preparation for apex. i will highlight that area for you in just a moment. but we do have the sigalert underway in burlingame, northbound 101 at broadway. the on ramp, their speeds still down to around 14mph. and this is where we're seeing that roadwork. so i know a lot of people were expecting this off ramp at harrison street to be closed for the weekend, but it actually is in place today. it will reopen tomorrow. and that, again, is due to some preparation for apec. reggie >> and speaking of apec, it doesn't officially begin for a few more days, but today there's

already a high profile economic meeting happening here in san francisco between been the us and china. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez joins us live with more on what's at stake. gloria >> good morning, reggie. today is day one of two days of meetings between us treasury secretary janet yellen and china's vice premier ha fung excuse me, ha li fung. and it comes at a time when relations are improving between the two countries and the biden administration is also trying to shore up diplomatic ties. now this is not the first time that yellen and ha have met in person. they were last together in china in july. and the treasury department says the meetings are designed to further stabilize our economic relationship with china and also make progress on some key issues. and those include trade and investment and developing more resilient supply chains. as cal state east bay professor nancy pak, who's an expert in chinese history, tells me trade will be at the top of the list of things to discuss.

>> one of the main ones is going to be the issue of trade barriers, because both sides are frustrated and with the what they perceive to be barriers of free trade on the us side, the lot of american companies are frustrated by what they perceive to be chinese control of their companies or policies that put their companies at a disadvantage. and from the chinese side, many chinese are frustrated by what they consider to be controls. us controls on the export of technologies. pak says. >> more open lines of communication can help prevent the two countries from spiraling into more serious conflicts. secretary yellen's meetings with the vice premier will be held before secretary yellen hosts the apec finance ministers meeting in san francisco and secretary yellen will be talking

to the media tomorrow in san francisco. of course, we'll have updates for you right here on abc seven. live in san francisco , gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. thank you, gloria. >> the apex summit officially gets underway saturday. and if you look at the calendar, you see it goes almost a week until next friday, the 17th. today say the summit flag will officially be raised at san francisco city hall. and it marks the beginning of a week of diplomacy that will put san francisco at the epicenter of international attention. >> we're already seeing messages of active ism here in the bay area ahead of the summit. this 75 foot banner was put above the bay bridge yesterday during the morning commute. the environmental activist group oil and gas action network is calling for president biden and apec leaders to support the transition away from fossil fuels. they're planning a rally in san francisco next week. other demonstrations are also expected. and san francisco police chief bill scott has a message for anyone who may try to use these protests as a way to commit crimes. >> the message is this, though,

and i just want to reiterate that 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. >> today, a city officials and law enforcement are expected to give more information about the emergency response center that will help manage any emergencies that may arise. >> san francisco police and secret service have updated the security maps that they first released last month. the red zone around moscone center is the highest level of security that will require screening for both for all vehicles. the green zone is for local traffic only, and it may require screening for vehicles, but not for pedestrians. now ride hailing services and food delivery are not allowed in that green zone. there will be a stage about a block away.

>> it's unavoidable to have an impact to businesses and people in the city with an event of this magnitude. and that's that's obviously the case. however, we've worked tirelessly together to come up with a plan that would minimize the impact to the public as a result of the security of this event. >> san francisco police says that its entire department has been mobilized, that means every officer will be working 12 to 14 hour shifts. this is the first time that's happened in decades. abc7 is your station when it comes to everything apec 2023. our complete coverage has everything you need to know. you can find it all on the front page of our website abc7 news .com or your abc7 news bay area app. new developments daetz at midnight. >> one of the largest strikes in hollywood history finally ended. jobina is at the live desk now with what we're learning about this. much anticipated deal. thank you, reggie. >> more specific details of the deal are expected to be released tomorrow. but for movie fans, this agreement means next

summer's movie season will be saved. the strike affected 160,000 union members and cost the us economy billions of dollars. we do know the billion dollar agreement includes a significant boost in minimum pay , increased residual payments for streaming content and new protections from artificial intelligence, which has been a major sticking point. >> the ai protections were absolutely essential to the union. they would not have called an end to this strike without achieving them. >> i'm really excited that that we've reached an agreement. i think it's a ground breaking agreement and some motion picture and tv producer says it, quote, looks forward to the industry resuming the work of telling great stories as early as today, film crew members could return to production scenes that were paused mid-shoot when the strike started. >> other projects should restart shooting once scripts are finished, as for tv, new episodes could still be months away. kumasi >> thank you, jobina. coming up, three wineries calling for state

and federal civil rights investigations into napa. why they say the county's rules could put them out of business. >> then avoiding a potential holiday surge. doctors say it's safe to get a flu and covid shot at the same time. >> and we're looking at a partly cloudy day today. high clouds, but the sun will shine through. so bright skies with high temperatures today only in the mid to upper 60s, a little bit cooler than yesterday, but a warmer weekend is coming you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body. you practice... and practice that body. you make it rain that body. you flu shot that body. and now, you spikevax that body... because even though the pandemic is over, covid-19 isn't. spikevax by moderna is a vaccine

francisco we have mid-forty seconds at oakland and mountain view and san jose. upper 30s still at palo alto and half moon bay. slow to warm in some spots. looking at other temperature readings right now, we have mid 30s at santa rosa novato, napa,

fairfield and livermore. upper 30s there. 39 degrees and 42 right now in concord. as we look ahead to the afternoon, the bright skies we had overnight will give away the clear skies i should say will give way to partly cloudy skies, but it will still be bright. we'll see the sunshine. it'll just be filtered by the high clouds. high temperatures will range from about 60 at the coast to mainly mid 60s right around the bay shoreline. mid to upper 60s in our inland area. so it'll be a little cooler than yesterday. now, those clouds that start moving in today will only increase overnight. here's a forecast animation. we'll see more clouds tomorrow, maybe even a couple of light scattered showers up in the north bay. but we're not expecting much out of that. and then a warm and mild weekend is coming our way, reggie. >> that sounds good, spencer. thank you. still ahead, the new fashionable shoes that you have to see to believe. then the potential weight loss game changer for the fda has just approved a new drug that could be a big deal for people across the country. we're going to take a break, but first, a live look outside. it is a beautiful

he says now is the time. it's urging people to get both shots ahead of thanksgiving. the cdc says it's especially important if you're planning to travel or visiting family and friends who are considered high risk. the recommendation comes as new research shows getting both covid 19 and flu shots at the same time is not only safe, but but might also improve community uptake. the cdc says it takes about two weeks after vaccination for that body to build immunity. so your time is running out. a new twist in a years long fight between three wineries and napa county. the wineries are now calling for federal and state civil rights

investigations. representatives from hoops smith, madrone and summit lake vineyards laid out their case yesterday. they say napa's rules are discriminatory towards small wine producers. last year, napa county sued hoops vineyard, claiming that it was hosting tastings without county approval. that case is scheduled to come to trial next year. >> the napa county government is functionally trying to take away our rights to operate as wineries. this will force us to sell or close under napa county's wine definition ordinance, producers have to apply to expand their businesses unless they have permits issued before 1990 or they meet the definition of small wineries. >> these wineries claim that they are grandfathered in. the county disagrees. plans are in motion to bring a marghera rita ville resort to napa county. it would be the same one made popular by the late jimmy buffett. >> we'll have, i think about a 50 slip marina of gas, docks, restaurants, rv parking cabins.

>> 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, a negotiating deal has been approved. >> this allows the developer to work with the county to try to come up to an agreement on a resort over the next two years. it would be on lake berryessa. some community members are concerned the very idea of something called margaritaville in napa county is kind of cringey. >> this is a development for the lake, not for a destination for a lot of people to sing. jimmy buffett. >> oh, all right. >> the approval is for a two year negotiation. during that time, the design and environmental impact will be worked on. officials say the revenue generated by a project like this would eventually allow for a new police station, improve fire services and road

improvements. >> a new pair of shoes will have people saying nice squeakers instead of sneakers. and this is why. why is this on the tv? >> and look, it's next to this trash bag. >> why? look at the back. do we need another angle? >> we really did. >> i wanted to see that tail. >> these are rats slides, huh? rats slides by imran movie of imran potato, who is known to create unconventional footwear for. okay, the rat slides look realistic. they got the little beady black eyes, the ears, the exaggerated tail. some people are calling them air rodents or ratatouille ones. >> yeah, no word yet on if they're available to buy for real and how much they will cost. >> what what is right. >> i kind of like this not i love new york. >> that's i mean, really, the last time i was in new york, i had a whole meeting with a rat.

>> tell me, what did you all discuss? >> so there was a well, just, you know, no words were needed. well, imagine if there were words. that would be something else. but i was just walking by, minding my business, looked over at the subway station, the entrance to it, and on top of the subway station. when you go down to the stairs, was this rat just staring at me, having a meal and just really like, what are you going or not coming in or not? >> yeah. what are you staring at ? >> what was the meal? i can't remember what it was eating. >> it was just like the. >> the rat. the pizza rat. >> the pizza rat. >> someone dressed up as pizza rat for halloween. coming up. >> did you see it? >> i saw this. it was so good. so good. i saw this. >> oh, my gosh. >> the rats of new york city are really on a different level. >> they are, right. that's why i wondered if it was a big one, because it was big. >> it was very comfortable and no one seemed disturbed at all. and i was really just having an

entire moment with this rat. >> yeah, well, it's a new york rat. it's like, yo, what's up with you? you hate. yeah, right. you go see a show of what? >> right? >> okay, guys, here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. we had clear skies overnight. thus the cooling that we had that lasts into this morning, but clouds are approaching. so we'll see increasing clouds today and tonight. and this is a weak frontal system, but it may bring a few sprinkles as it moves through tomorrow into the north bay. right now, we're looking at the forecast headlines. chilly morning. there was some patchy frost in some spots. it'll be partly cloudy. partly cloudy. this afternoon and cooler than yesterday. shower chance tomorrow, mainly in the north bay. then a dry and warmer weekend, which is great news and a rainy pattern is likely to develop early next week. right now, we're looking at temperatures still in the 30s and our inland area. so that chill that morning chill is holding on right around the bay shoreline. we have mainly mid 40s, 50 degrees here in san francisco going into the afternoon hours that the high clouds that talked about will be

moving in. we'll see filtered sunshine. it'll be cooler than yesterday was with high temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 60s from bay to inland. so not a very wide range of highs there. and then as we look at the forecast animation for tonight, after midnight, we'll see clouds thickening. and again, that chance of some scattered light showers swinging through the north bay as those clouds move through. but after that, i promise a warmer weekend, which i'll give you more details on a little bit later jobina. thank you, spencer. >> good morning, everybody. so we are following a sig alert right now in burlingame that is causing a big backup. and we have an issue on the bay bridge as well in burlingame. this is northbound 101 at the broadway on ramp speed still down around 17mph. right now. we have a crash at the incline right on the bay bridge. and we flipped around our emeryville camera. so you can actually see the site of the crash itself and the police lights on the bridge. they have at least one lane blocked for you right now. the good news, though, is that the harrison street offramp has reopened. so it's moving a little bit now on the western span of the bridge.

and then we have a big backup here at the richmond-san rafael bridge due to this ongoing sig alert as well. kumasi. all right. >> thanks, jobina and now we are checking in with ginger zee who is live with what's coming up on gma. >> good morning, ginger. >> yes, hi, reggie. >> hi, kumasi it's nice to be with everybody. so here on a thursday, we are following last night's gop debate closely. we've got the reaction to everything this morning and then we're tracking the latest developments in the middle east. the us striking back against iranian backed forces in syria while negotiations intensify to bring some hostages held by hamas home. a top national security spokesman, john kirby, will join us live. and then everything that you need to know about a newly approved weight loss drug, there's another one. doctor ashton is going to break down. why it could be a game changer. and lara, live in nashville this morning with all the big moments from the cma awards. she was backstage with the winners. plus, we've got super beauty bonanza deals and steals. that sounds big. you better see it on gma. >> something that we all just learned this morning is that apparently tracy chapman, who
