as well. >> did you think it was going to be this close? i did not. berkeley mayor jesse arreguin is moving on to the state senate after winning his race last week. he's worked with both candidates but endorsed hahn. he says hahn has been instrumental in berkeley's key achievements of the past eight years, and that hahn is ready to lead the city on day one. >> she helped write our housing bond to provide $135 million to build and preserve affordable housing. she was the. she and i were the architect of berkeley's plan to address homelessness. berkeley's seen a 45% reduction in unsheltered homelessness. >> aragon says infrastructure, housing affordability and public safety will continue to be key issues. but he says one of the biggest challenges will be standing up to what comes out of d.c. aragon says the election of president trump, who threatened to cut funding to sanctuary cities, may test berkeley's ability to continue to be a champion of progressive leadership. >> the impact of the trump administration on our undocumented community. we work to strengthen our sanctuary policy to support our muslim community, our lgbt community, and then also having the presence of the proud boys and

>> we are looking at a freeze warning for the north bay valleys that starts at midnight. it's worth repeating if you didn't catch us at the top of the show. temperatures are going to go down as low as 29 degrees. so this is north bay valleys. protect your pipes, plants, and pets. take a look at the evening forecast 7:00 tonight. inlad areas in the low 50s. by 9 p.m, you're already looking at 40s and continuing to drop at 11 p.m, a light breeze, clear skies, the perfect recipe for a cold night ahead. low 50s around the bay. coming down to the upper 40s by 11 p.m. and as we check out the coastal areas from 50s to the 40s. so it's not going to be just an inland deal. it is going to get chilly everywhere. a live view from our san jose camera. it is absolutely clear right now. taking a look at live doppler seven, we did have some showers earlier this morning. just kind of skirting the coastline in association with the system that came through earlier. this was yesterday, but notice some of those showers tagged the san mateo coast and around the big sur mountains. it switched over

to some snow showers mixing in with the showers. all is quiet right now. we really have a clear night in store and that's going to be a cold one as well. live view from golden gate bridge camera. 55 degrees right now in the city. it is in the mid 50s from hayward to oakland. san jose 52, in half moon bay. gorgeous view from our sutro tower looking at downtown san francisco. low 50s santa rosa, napa. currently 43, in fairfield. so you're already getting cold 52 in livermore and concord at 54 degrees. a view from emeryville showinu a clear conditions as well. overnight cold freeze warning for the north bay. tomorrow we have rough surf, mainly sunny skies. in case you're going to the coast to enjoy the sunshine. just be careful. and then on sunday, off and on, light showers are coming our way tomorrow morning. cold enough for frost to form. temperatures will be in the upper 20s for our coldest inland areas to the mid 40s. bundle up tonight. turn up the heat. you're going to need it tomorrow afternoon. upper 50s to the mid 60s. we'll have plenty

of sun, but occasional high clouds as well. and then a light level one system comes in on sunday on our storm impact scale. it's exclusive to abc7 news. scattered showers, slippery roadways. we are still expecting minor flooding from those king tides. here's the timeline. so 1130 on sunday morning you're going to see some spotty showers. 1 p.m. still very spotty as you can see here. it continues into the afternoon and the evening hours going into 9 p.m. those showers coming through here. and then pretty much those showers are moving out. rainfall projections 100th of an inch to about 11 hundredths of an inch on the coast. the accuweather seven day forecast freezing cold morning is ahead, particularly in the north bay valleys. temperatures tomorrow afternoon. upper 50s to mid 60s. a lot of sun. it's a one for sunday. scattered showers. it's not a washout for your weekend by any means. the chill continues. not as cold monday morning. the sun will be out later on in the day, but we do have chances of showers in the north bay wednesday and thursday. much

milder weather for the afternoons, especially in the upper 60s. and then by friday we're talking about a level one system bringing us some more wet weather and breezy conditions. so get ready. >> okay. thank you sandhya. >> all right. coming up nex, getting rewards for playing a puzzle. it works for raccoons like these. and alo for the researchers studying them. we'll have the story

chloe! hey dad. they will grow up. [cheering] silly face, ready? discover who they are.

if they look like safecrackers knocking over a bank, you wouldn't be far off. they're wearing masks and they've got skills. berkeley researchers are studying the remarkable learning capacity of raccoon populations, particularly in urban environments like the bay area. >> a lot of folks think that raccoons are clever animals, and it's for that reason that we're really interested in studying them and how they are doing so well in cities. and so what part of their cleverness really aids them in their successful behavioral adaptations? >> at least it's not full. >> that's lauren stanton and professor chris schell showed us the compact wildlife cameras they use to document raccoon behavior. the experiments often involve a combination of risk and reward with lab built puzzles containing a foraging treat like pet food. in this

case, the animals have to figure out how to open the black tube to get the reward. >> so here you can see there's a raccoon in the background, and then two raccoons in the foreground. they're both working hard. you know, to open the puzzle. one is kind of focused on the body of the tube and is able to get the cap off. >> but they say the research isn't just about how quickly the raccoons learn, but the forces driving them to take on something new and unfamiliar. in an early study, only about a quarter of the animals solved the puzzle. many of them juveniles. >> so this is a new thing. they haven't seen before. it smells really yummy. you know. are they interested in interacting with it? and this is giving us a measure of their risk taking behavior. so again, it's something new and it's intriguing. but it might be kind of risky to interact with. >> so could environment also be playing a role. professor schell points to the kind of differences that might influence humans in wealthier or poorer neighborhoods. traffic, tree cover, availability of other food, the behavioral strategies for living in these two

different environments are wildly different, and it stands to reason that the strategies to just survive in those two different neighborhoods and environments are also wildly different. >> and that's the case for raccoons and for humans. >> a mirror of our own behavior, influenced by the challenges we face, reminding us we're all residents of the ecosystems we create and support. >> and those lessons help us to build better cities, help us to manage wild populations better, help us to pinpoint the areas that need more access to public goods and resources and equity in this entire conversation is one not just of society, but also of conservation. >> so while the research is documenting that raccoons can be quick learners, they may have lessons to teach us as well. >> that's really true. they're fascinating. they are actually now their puzzles are part of an exhibit. now on display at the california academy of sciences in san francisco called california state of nature.

things one can do, but one has to use it responsibly. >> and that was the exact message on campus. google director of engineering muktananda says that ai responsibility is especially true when it comes to education. >> students learn when they are deeply engaging with a subject. if we want to really help ai help kids learn, we need to move ai models from being answering tools to being teaching learning engines. >> anita says ai is not meant to be a crutch. it should be a tool for students and staff. he says google is working to further develop that tool for learning to really happen, there needs to be engagement with the material, deeper understanding students to be inspired for them to have metacognition about how they are learning. >> and our goal is to make ai able to do all of those things. >> the possibilities of ai are endless, and that's why many want increased accountability through regulation. these experts say just like the creation of ideas, regulation

can't come from one person or one group. you don't want to block ai creativity. it just needs to be channeled in the right direction. >> we really don't know as humans what the end game is. i mean, i see it as a golden opportunity for humankind that we will get space for unlimited creativity because of ai. >> conferences like this allow for lessons to be learned so that lawmakers, future users and industry specialists can come together to create a better tomorrow through ai. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> u.s. stocks sink to end the week after news that the federal reserve won't hurry to make the next interest rate cut. the dow dropped 305 points to close, trading at 43,444. the nasdaq lost 427 points. the s&p dropped 78 points. car manufacturer general motors announced it's laying off about 1000 employees worldwide. the laid off workers are in mostly white collar jobs, and they were notified today. the company says it needs to cut costs as it tries to navigate

attorney general, automatically closing the bipartisan ethics committee's probe. he was being investigated for alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use allegations. gaetz denies. sources tell abc news the committee heard from a woman who said gaetz had sex with her when she was 17. gaetz, calling it a false smear. democratic congressman glenn ivey is on the ethics committee. >> i think the senate certainly had a right to request it. yeah, i can't talk about our internal deliberations, but the information that they've requested, i think is totally reasonable for them to have. and in fact, i think it's essential for them to get that kind of information before they make a decision of this magnitude. >> the committee was supposed to have a meeting today, but it was postponed. a member of the committee tells abc news their chairman, republican congressman michael guest, decided not to meet today. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> new user terms kicked in on the social media platform x today, and we're seeing a big flow of users into a new platform. the terms have caused an uproar. online users that are

the ag industry in the county is valued at around $2 billion. bees are a very important tool in growing the crops. flotus has set up a go fund me account to raise money to replace the hives and other equipment destroyed in the mountain fire. >> it's a big blow. it sets us back acquiring equipment. we have to build it. we have to paint it. we have to get it prepared and then bring it and start using it. you know, every day we're loading the truck with more equipment as we use it. and then the next day we have to load more up. we have to catch up in the busy season comes in the spring. that's when the bees are most active. right now it's the winter. this is when we spend most of our time building boxes for next year. >> so flores is hoping the generosity of those who go to his gofundme will give him enough money to get everything he needs, so there's plenty of bees and equipment for him when the crops start blooming in the spring. reporting from ventura county. i'm sid garcia, abc seven news. >> we are expecting more rain

o'brien is best known for hosting talk shows late night with conan o'brien, the tonight show, and conan. this announcement comes a year after comedian jimmy kimmel hosted the big show. o'brien has previously hosted the emmy awards and white house correspondents dinner. >> march 2nd i'm hosting the oscars. >> okay. the president of disney television group, which owns abc news, says conan o'brien joins an iconic roster of comedy greats who have served this role, and we are so lucky to have him. jacqueline lee, abc news, los angeles. >> happening now for the first time ever, san francisco is hosting an official diwali celebration and you are looking live at city hall, lit up in pink and yellow. there is a party going on at the monthly bhangra and beats night market in downtown, and happening tonight. the kickoff for the holiday season at filoli historic house and garden in woodside. it's so pretty. the gardens are illuminated, holiday displays are up and fire pits

are burning. this is video of filoli from prior years. it's definitely worth checking out. festive. >> very spectacular. all right, let's talk about the weather forecast and the chilly weather we can expect. >> yes, rain for the weekend, sandhya. >> that's right. but it's not a washout, which is a good thing. dan and i want to show you live doppler seven right now. you will notice the snow showers in the sierra continue. although they are winding down, the winter weather advisory is still going until 10 p.m. tonight. up to two more inches above 5500ft locally. live doppler seven is all quiet right now. that's going to change. come sunday. so tomorrow afternoon you've got bright sunny skies, occasional high clouds, 50s and 60s. now here comes the sunday showers. you will notice very spotty. 1130 in the morning, 2 p.m. you still see some dotting the area and as we head into the evening hours, more showers will come through. but it's just occasional and we fast forward to next week. wednesday a chance of showers in the north bay. thursday. still the chance in the north bay and then

everyone looks like they're going to get some rain a week from today as we have another storm coming through. accuweather seven day forecast. it's a cold morning tomorrow. still cooler than average for the weekend. in the afternoon. scattered showers level one on sunday. you have some cool days early next week and then the chances of some wet weather. north bay wednesday thursday for everyone on friday, but those temperatures will be coming up, so we'll get a chance to thaw out ama and dan that'll be nice. >> yes. thanks, andy. >> all right. larry's been fretting about the weather on sunday. yeah, right. >> have not been fretting. >> i think you have. hasn't he? yes he has. >> he has. for a good reason. >> oh, goodness. he frets anyway. >> he's a fretter. >> george, we pile on. >> can i do this, please? george kittle is officially listed as questionable for sunday's game against seattle with a sore hamstring. no question, the niners tight end would like another two td game against the seahawks. the celebration then was great. do people interrupt you at

your job too? that's next in

a tv show. the all-pro tight end lost a bet with brock purdy earlier in the season, and he had to wear iowa state gear, and yesterday was ucla. after georgia's hawkeyes lost to the bruins. stop betting, george. all right. the niners host the

seahawks on sunday. kittle had a couple of touchdowns in their previous meeting in seattle. remember georgian fullback kyle juszczyk jumping into the stands to hug their wives? that was cool. so that win extended the niners victory streak over the seahawks to six games. seattle struggling. they've lost four of five, but a win over the five and four niners would put them actually ahead of san francisco in the nfc west. so kittle is not taking this lightly despite all the ucla gear on. >> whenever you're playing a team who has high aspirations preseason and you know, start the season off well like their backs are against the wall. you know kind of how hearts have been the past couple of weeks. and when you go against a team like that very dangerous. probably going to take more risks. you know it's a huge nfc matchup for us. and in the division. so it's people throw around must win. but you know it's one of those we dropped two already in the division. so we kind of have to win this one. >> these games matter the most especially with you know the 40 niners. they've been at the top of our division. one of the best teams in the league for a while. and if we want to be that type of

team that we say we are, you know we got to go through teams like this and i'm fretting about the weather n weather on sunday. >> klay thompson's return to the bay was the big story tuesday night in the warriors. mavs game, but overshadowed in the process. that was an nba cup game. that's the new in-season tournament designed to get fans and frankly, the players more interested in the early parts of the season. warriors hosting memphis tonight in cup game number two. and that's the reason for the different court that they put down. now steph curry scored the final 12 points against dallas to give the warriors their first win in the four game group stage. if they make it out of that. each player gets 50 grand. the bonuses just get bigger and bigger from there. every player on the winning team when they play in vegas gets a $500,000 bonus. it's a big plus for young players, and coach steve kerr admits the assistant coaches get a little something, something as well. >> not going to lie, it would be an amazing thing for our young players to get the financial reward that comes with winning that, that nba cup. it's a lot of money may not be to draymond and steph, but it's a lot of

money for the guys. >> don't the coaches get a bonus for the nba cup too? >> coaches do too. yes they do, they do. we got we got a lot of young coaches on this staff who would benefit greatly as well. so yeah, not going to lie. it's an incentive. >> the nba all-star game is coming to san francisco in 2025. sounds like they're going to make a major change to the format because nobody's playing any defense in these games. espn says it will be a four team format similar to the nba cup. three teams made up of all stars. the fourth team from the rising stars challenge, and steph and sabrina ionescu will probably do another three point challenge and may add klay and caitlin clark to the mix as well. women's hoops santa clara taking on number three usc trojans sophomore juju watkins 22 points. she surpassed 1000 points in her career in just her 38th game. that's tied for fourth fastest in d1 history and two games fewer than the great caitlin clark. as usc crushed

santa clara 8150. sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. and if you're wondering about the mike tyson jake paul bout, it hasn't started yet. so that's over on netflix. i cannot remember a time when the whole world was rooting for mike tyson to clobber somebody. that's the way it is. >> yeah, that'll be fun to watch, i guess for sure. thanks. all right, all right. speaking of what to watch tonight on abc seven at eight, you can watch shark tank followed at nine by 2020. always stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven, so you can get the bay, abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> well, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters this week a bombshell from the folks at muni in san francisco. the budget deficit is so bad, around $300 million that one proposal on the table is mothballing our famed cable car. can you imagine a rolling logo for the city, one of the most identifiable, identifiable, and

beloved icons in san francisco? just derailed. this isn't the first time scrapping the cable cars has reared its ugly head. they were on the chopping block 75 years ago. in fact, after falling into some disrepair during the second world war, some leaders at the time said that they were an expensive, outdated eyesore. well, they are old, outdated and expensive, but hardly an eyesore. nearly 10 million people ride the cable cars every year, more than twice the yearly visitors to the statue of liberty and double the grand canyon. what really matters is that cable cars are as synonymous with san francisco as alcatraz and the golden gate bridge, to even suggest scrapping them is as silly as imploding the empire state building or dismantling the eiffel tower. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. we thank you so much for being
