the city for this meeting with president xi jinping. >> president xi's visit during apec marks the first time he and president biden meet in a tension filled year. yesterday, biden billed this meeting as a chance to get washington and beijing back on a normal course, corresponding once again. but a spokesperson for the white house national council said the president was not going to be afraid to confront where confrontation is needed on issues where we don't see eye to eye. lily mcelwee of the center for strategic and international studies says while the talks should be considered procedural, they should be seen as dialog to opening communication on many issues, including ones important to san francisco and silicon valley. >> americans care a lot about tiktok, for example. think that tiktok is just one one of a number of technology issues that may or may not be discussed on ai. however, we may see move to

begin the dialog of how to set controls on the use of ai in warfare. >> another key topic of today's meeting between biden and xi fentanyl. the us and china are expected to announce an agreement that will see beijing cracking down on the manufacturing and the export of fentanyl. an agreement on this could be a big win for the president and for san francisco as a city. the city's department of health attributed the drug to 72% of the 620 overdose overdose deaths that we had in 2022 alone. live in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, thank you, lena. now, before that meeting today, a landmark deal on climate change. the us and china agreeing to ease off fossil fuels and start to increase renewable energy sources. it appears to be the first time china has ever agreed to cut emissions from any part of its economy. now the framework agrees to pursue efforts to triple renewable energy capacity

that i saw coming in this morning. so a reminder for anyone that needs to travel to downtown san francisco about that one. it is disruptive elsewhere, though. i also witnessed this this morning coming off of the bay bridge. we have one westbound lane closed and one eastbound lane closed. right now you're seeing orange cones essentially, if you're traveling westbound on that far right side. later in the day, though, we are expecting chp vehicles to be staged out every few feet or so, keeping an eye on that area. we also now have the fourth street and fifth street off ramps closed. and this is all going to be in place until friday. so that's an important note here. mass transit is going to be impacted, especially when we talk about muni. so it's all around the moscone center and also yerba buena gardens, where you see these red dots are going to be the areas affected. make sure to check the schedule. that's the best way to keep up with those changes because there's too many to mention on the air. again, if you've been with us throughout the week, you know that this red area, those are the hard road

closures. green is going to be for local traffic, but no food delivery service or also rideshare. and then we have normal service plan for bart caltrain, ace and also for the san francisco bay ferry. and then bart is still operating on its normal schedule, longer trains to offer more space for people. they're expecting a higher volume of riders. and the good news is that we don't have a competing event with chase center tonight, but that will change tomorrow. reggie thank you, jobina. >> this morning, climate activists will march to demand citibank and exxonmobil stop funding fossil fuels. it's just one of many demonstrations we will see in san francisco during apec. this is video from mission and third street yesterday about a block from moscone center. supporters and protesters of china's president gathered near the hotel where he's staying. demonstrators for various social causes believe apec is the perfect setting for getting their message across. and they city leaders say they are ready. >> san francisco, you know, we're used to dealing with a lot of protests. you know, throughout the year. we probably

have at least one protest somewhere in the city every day. so our officers are really skilled at handling those, facilitating first amendment activity. his last week, the san francisco chief of police said his entire department has been mobilized and that's the first time that's happened in decades. >> abc7 news is your station when it comes to everything apec. our complete coverage has everything you need to know. you can find it on the front page of our website, abc7 news.com or your abc7 news bay area app. >> the house has approved a stopgap funding bill by newly elected speaker mike johnson, which could avert friday night's government shutdown. the bill had bipartisan support, though more democrats backed it than republicans. the bill now goes to the senate to be approved. senate leaders say they will support it and promised quick action. >> leader mcconnell and i will figure out the best way to get this done quickly. neither mcconnell nor i want to shut down after the senate. >> this will go to president biden's desk. it does not include any supplement, all aid for israel or ukraine. the bill

tracking this stubborn area of low pressure off of our coastline. you can see it's funneling moisture this morning into northern california. we have some light isolated showers out there. here's the local view on live doppler seven. some moisture moving in from the south. most of this is not actually reaching the ground. maybe a few light sprinklt the t today is really holding off until this afternoon. this evening, that is when this line you see right here off our coastline is going to move onshore and that will impact the evening commute. it is a level one light storm on the abc seven storm impact scale. this morning from sutro tower. we are dry from this vantage point. we'll have that isolated shower chance early on. but the focus of your day is really in the afternoon and the evening for that light, steady rain across the entire entire region. we'll have those temperatures stuck in the upper 50s to the mid 60s as those showers move through and the pattern remains unsettled still through the end of the week. looking at the three day forecast, we're expecting the steadiest rain later on this

afternoon. and it's a similar trend both tomorrow and friday. scatter showers mainly in the afternoon and evening. and then friday, this low finally moves on shore and it will bring another round of wet weather to finish out the week. friday night, we're going to go hour by hour on future weather ready show you these systems coming through the next three days, coming up in about eight minutes, drew, thank you. >> another obstacle for the oakland a's. coming up, the new lawsuit out of nevada that could impact the team's move to las vegas. >> and crews say it will take several weeks to reopen a major freeway in los angeles following that destructive fire. >> many who live and work nearby say it's a difficult timeline to endure after several months, a humvee stolen from a bay area national guard armory has finally been found. >> the bizarre series of events that happened before law

it'll be interesting to see what the other, the other owners think. but you know, if the past has been any indication of how they they operate uh- i wouldn't hold your breath about them being the last bastion of resistance right now. >> the meeting is going on now, but the vote is expected to happen tomorrow. and we will update you on any developments. >> the entwined enchanted forest is returning to san francisco's golden gate park next month. the field of illuminated trees was first installed in 2020 and includes led cubes that change color. according to our partners at the san francisco standard. its return includes a new piece of art that made its debut at burning man. it's a huge tree. new features include a place where visitors can sit on a tree and use qr qr codes for people to build their own color patterns. and this is going to go for a long time. okay. if you don't see it before the new

number of crashes reported on our roads this morning, starting with a couple of sig alerts. we're going to begin in vacaville where we're following this crash in the counter commute direction. it's eastbound 80 right before alamo drive. and what's interesting about this one, we learned that the big rig involved here was hauling a big thing of ice cream. so now that's all in the roadway causing a slowdown. so we're keeping an eye on that one. also in oakland, northbound 880 at fifth street, we're following a sig alert here involving multiple vehicles and that crash. and then i'm bringing in our kgo roof camera so that you can check out the embarcadero, because if you look at the bottom of the screen here, you can see some of the fencing that was put up yesterday because we do have a closure on a major stretch of the embarcadero due to apec that will be impacting you today if you move through downtown san francisco. so the closure is between battery street and broadway and i'll have more on this throughout the show. >> thanks, jobina. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> if heaven is a place on

and it's expected to last for about four hours. >> we also know they are expected to cover a number of hot topic issues from trade, climate change and keeping an open line of communication. uh- chinese president xi jinping's visit during apec marks the first time he and president biden meet in a tension filled year. from today's meeting, we've learned the us and china are expected to announce an agreement that will see beijing cracking down on the manufacturing and export of fentanyl. part of the agreement says china will go after chemical chemical companies that manufacture the source material for the highly potent synthetic opioid. in exchange, the biden administration is set to remove restrictions on china's institute of forensic science, which has a controversial role in alleged human rights abuses. >> our reports that the us and china are set to announce that beijing will help cut down on the manufacturing and the export of precursor chemicals to fentanyl that often go through

mexico and are then through those supply chains. the drug is created and imported into the united states. >> a senior biden administration official who briefed reporters ahead of the meeting said one big reason why she decided to make the trip to the us was to send the message to american ceos that china was still a good place to invest. of course, that meeting happens ahead of tonight's party here out at the exploratory am that president biden is hosting. and according to our media partners at the standard that's expected to include a special performance from gwen stefani live in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you, lena. now we've been telling you about how the increased security is changing your commute. today is really the day that things go to a new level. jobina is tracking that situation. this morning. >> yes, reggie, because you and i are talked about this yesterday. it was pretty light. a lot of people have been heeding the warning not to come into san francisco. and if they

need to, to rely on mass transit. so it appears that happened yesterday. we'll see about today, because a big closure that's going to jam things up is along the embargoed zero. so that's going to be between battery street and broadway. we can see it right across the street from our station here in san francisco. also the bay bridge. i saw this one. this morning as i traveled in. so if you're traveling westbound is going to be off to the far right side. you're going to see those orange cones. the far right lane is blocked there. and on the eastbound side, you're going to have a lane blocked as well. that will not end until friday at 9 p.m. then also, the off ramps are impacted today. and this actually started a little earlier than initially scheduled because it started yesterday. so that's going to be the fifth street and fourth street off ramps for you, the impacted stops for muni, there are several. so the best advice here is if you rely on muni to check the schedule to see what those delays may be because all of these red icons are the stops affected and this red area in the center, the hard closures around moscone center, the green

is going to be local traffic. again, as you've been with us, you know that that local traffic is not going to be open to rideshare and also food delivery services. all of our other mass transit agencies in and around san francisco will be operating their normal schedules. and we do not have events at chase center tonight. we will have a game tomorrow at seven. and i will, of course, keep you posted on that one. reggie. >> thanks, jobina. abc7 news is your station when it comes to everything we're posting continuous coverage on our website and suite of streaming apps. that's where you'll find our full traffic maps, new updates and stream major news as it breaks you can download the abc7 bay area app wherever you stream. we have seen protests all week long in san francisco because of the apec summit and today they're expected to get even bigger. >> abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez in the newsroom with the plans for today and the demands being made. >> gloria, good morning, kumasi this morning we are expecting the largest protest as activists are planning to block people

have that isolated shower chance early on this morning, but it's really the second half of your day. you'll find the biggest impact with this rain light rain starting here around 2 to 3 p.m, lasting through the evening commute. and that's going to create some slick conditions, low visibility, certainly as it gets dark. and those temperatures in the 50s and in the 60s, looking at the three day forecast, we stay unsettled tomorrow and friday with the best chances of wet weather in the afternoon and in the evening. each day. but over the weekend, we'll finally dry out. wel show you that seven day forecast coming up in about

several times as he described his beliefs about hollywood and his attempt to, quote, search for the truth, showing little remorse for the attack on paul pelosi. depape lived in hawaii for two years before moving to the bay area to work as a carpenter. he told the jury he would spend his off time sitting in the garage where he lived, playing video games, watching youtube and listening to right wing podcasts. depape testified that one of those podcasters, james lindsey, talked extensively about speaker emerita. nancy pelosi and a university of michigan professor , also known as target one on his so-called hit list. >> if there are jurors on this panel that feel empathetic to him, that believe him, all it takes is one federal criminal defense attorney adam gassner says depape did not meet the bar for a federal insanity defense. >> but to reach the bar to be federally insane, to put in an insanity defense, you have to show by a clear and convincing evidence that he does not know the conduct that he's

participating in. >> he doesn't appreciate the gravity of it. depape told the jury he only remembered hitting paul pelosi once. >> yet the surgeon who treated mr. pelosi testified he had injuries from being hit three times, including a five centimeter laceration at the top of his head, close to a critical blood vessel. the crux of this case comes down to the facts and whether or not the evidence supports the charges. the defense spent a great deal of time today trying to paint a picture that david depape was not motivated by speaker emerita. nancy pelosi's official duties as a member of congress. but even the judge pointed out during pretrial discussion on the evidence refutes that depapes target one gail rubin, a professor who studies anthropology and women's and gender studies, also testified depape believed a false theory that she supports child pedophilia. the defense asked questions about her sex related papers, criticized by the right wing media. we also heard from the former speaker's chief of staff who was asked about the difference between official and

because the team is seven and two. this season. >> he didn't need to tell about this. >> did we need to know? because we don't want people to get inspired? >> no. >> you no longer have to ask the question who owes what after a group outing? because venmo has a new feature that totally rips off a different app. >> thank you. >> we've been using splitwise. thank you for years. yes. but now venmo is copying that feature. it'll manage who owes what. it can help calculate that split cost for up to 30 people. >> 30 people? okay >> artificial intelligence is being used to help google forecast the weather. wait a minute. now, drew, don't start. >> why did we do this story before drew? that's just rude. >> you know, they're just trying to give me a heads up about my career length, you know, like you can't be replaced. >> this is called graph cast

out. and a study found it gave more accurate forecasts and better predictions of severe weather like hurricanes. google says the model can produce ten day forecasts in less than a minute. traditional models take at least an hour. so do you feel like this is something you would use to help you forecast? >> so they're using things we have already been using for years, but they're just doing it a lot faster than we've done it before. so you're getting updates a lot more frequently than, say, the information we get because all the information in you can see it comes from the government, our weather satellites, our computers are all based from the government. it updates every six hours. so we get it four times a day. this is just updating faster. okay. which is i mean, we welcome any any faster predictions. as you know, the weather's always changing minute by minute. so. but you can't replace my personality. >> never. that's what i'm saying. >> you know, just the data. can we also go back to splitwise for a second? >> yes. do you know when you're like you're like, oh, i'm going to get some money? and then it's

like you. oh, and i'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. it's like, why do i owe $300? my card was used the most, right? >> but for the smaller purchases, yeah, but the relief also, though, when you realize that you're out of it. yeah. >> everybody owes everybody something else. you're like, my name's not on. >> yes. i say settle up. >> but a 30 person trip? >> yes, that's. >> that's a lot. yeah, that's too much. all right. this morning, we do have some isolated showers out there on live doppler seven. but the steadier, more widespread rain is coming later on this afternoon and this evening. the abc seven storm impact scale is in effect today. it's a level one light system for those showers and even some scattered downpours later on this afternoon and this evening. that will certainly create slick roads. we'll also have some gusty winds and some lower visibility. here's future weather showing you later on this afternoon. by 2 to 3 p.m, we're starting to see that rain move onshore. and here's 5 p.m. notice how it's area wide. it's not just focused in one particular region. we'll track those scattered showers through the latter half of the evening. and then as we approach midnight this rain will lift and will

turn to mostly cloudy skies in the overnight period. but we'll pick up anywhere from about a 10th to a half of an inch of rain across the region today, mainly in the afternoon and in the evening. now, we still stay unsettled on thursday. future weather showing you will find another round of scattered showers on thursday. i don't think this is as widespread as the rain later today, but still it's unsettled for thursday afternoon and thursday evening. and then finally on friday, this area of low pressure that's currently stalled off our coast is going to move onshore and that creates showers for friday evening. and these will likely linger into part of saturday morning as well. here's the accuweather seven day forecast the next seven days for you. steadiest rain later on this evening with scattered showers thursday and friday as well. saturday morning we'll have a scattered shower. but saturday evening is dry and certainly any weekend plans are better on sunday. that's the brighter and the drier of the two days jobina. >> thank you, drew. good morning, everybody. we have a number of sig alerts that we're following this morning. we're going to start with an overturned big rig carrying an ice cream in vacaville, causing
