department. >> the edits come after a scathing report released tuesday. that report, which was done by an independent investigator, found that sheriff christina corpus abused her power, had an inappropriate personal relationship with her chief of staff, and used racist and homophobic slurs, all accusations the sheriff denies. on wednesday, the county's board of supervisors voted unanimously for the sheriff to step down. >> the matter has been referred to the district attorney's office. it's in the process of being referred to the attorney general's office. i have every it's being referred to the civil grand jury. >> the calls for corpus to resign were echoed by haines puschendorf, a former employee and previous head of the sheriff's department's union. he says the department has been plagued by scandal for years. >> we were hoping that she was going to make a change, and in fact, she was just as bad as the past history had always been. >> puschendorf says he still talks with many people who work at the sheriff's office. he tells me he believes the report is an accurate depiction of the department. >> with the way that everything has been crumbling and falling around her. i would expect the best thing would be to step out

of the way and hopefully they can get at least a couple of more people in to help organize. they can restructure. >> but corpus has vowed not to step down, citing her being elected by the voters of san mateo county. policing expert in san jose state university professor greg woods says if she stays on, he wouldn't be surprised to see more deputies leave the department. >> those individuals who put their professional reputations on the line are concluding that perhaps they don't wish to no longer associate with that particular agency. >> while the scandal continues to unfold, many have raised questions about what it could mean for san mateo county residents and the communities that rely on the sheriff's office. in half moon bay, city manager matthew chidester says he doesn't anticipate it having an impact on public safety. >> the men and women of the sheriff's office will be committed to continuing to provide services to the coast and keeping our residents safe. >> while the county can't fire the sheriff, the board of supervisors is looking into ways to have her removed in san mateo county. tim johns abc seven

news. >> a vigil is happening today in bodega bay for the five people who died when their boat capsized while crabbing a couple of weeks ago. a 13 year old boy from san jose is the only one who survived. he told abc seven news last week it was cold and windy at the time, and he was able to climb into a cooler to survive. there's a gofundme set up to help the impacted families, and you can find that link right on our website. abc seven news.com. in san francisco, a dog was shot and killed by police on friday. officers were responding to a call about a group of dogs attacking an owner and their small dog. the attack started near the parking lot of a safeway in the fillmore district, right around 11 a.m. when officers arrived, they saw three dogs attacking someone else. that's when they opened fire, killing one of the dogs. a second dog was confined. police then chased the third dog to kimball playground. just a few blocks away. they shot that dog, but it's still alive. animal

care and control. say the dogs were large adult canine corsos and were likely living in a van. abc seven news spoke to people in the safeway parking lot who were worried about their safety. >> it was just really scary. it was just really scary. we was really close nearby and we just hurried up and just ran around the corner before we heard the extra stuff, but we did see the dogs running rapidly in the parking lot. >> she got mauled by a dog in that same parking lot. >> san francisco police used several nonlethal methods to stop the dogs at first. now the other two dogs are expected to be okay, but we don't have an update on the smaller dog that was attacked. accusations of anti-semitism have led to a lawsuit against a local school district on the peninsula. the suit was filed on behalf of several jewish students at woodside high school in redwood city and menlo-atherton in san mateo. they say the sequoia unified school district failed to protect them from anti-jewish hostilities. sam cassell's daughter, is a student at woodside, and he says he's filed

complaints with school staff and admin about numerous incidents, but said nothing was ever done. >> the environment that my children are growing up in is greatly more anti-semitic than when i grew up in the 80s. and that is that's not the that's not the path that america, you know, should be done. >> his attorney says the incidents have gotten worse since hamas's invasion of israel. we reached out to the superintendent at sequoia union school district for further comment, but have not heard back. this comes as racist text messages have now targeted people in 25 states across the country. the fbi gave an update to its investigation into the disturbing messages uncovered earlier this month. now, the texts come from unknown numbers and tell people they've been selected to quote, pick cotton at the nearest plantation. the fbi says black people are being targeted in this, but victims now include members of the hispanic and lgbtq plus communities. some san francisco unified students also receive these messages.

>> to date, we have not received reports of violence. again, we have not received reports of violence stemming from these offensive text messages, but we encourage you to remain vigilant. >> the fbi is asking anyone who receives a racist text message to report it immediately to authorities. all right. as we head to break, let's check on that. freeze outside, please. >> well, it is 37 on top of mount tam, so that's chilly, but it is freezing. another thousand feet up mount diablo. no surprise there at 32. and we're in the upper 30s around ben lomond and at the surface, more 30s from our east bay to the north bay. 32 in danville. and we're in the upper 30s along the coast. so i'll talk about when we get a little bit warmer and when we're going to see some rain, when we return. >> also ahead, a beloved south bay farm will vacate in two days, but advocates say the fight to occupy a mapuche farm park is not over. plus.

results are changing. who is in the lead now? first time candidate adina ishii, now leeds city council member sophia hahn by 1100 votes. earlier, ishii was trailing hahn. here's abc seven news reporter anser hassan with the latest election. >> it was last tuesday, but as of friday afternoon, berkeley still doesn't know who the next mayor will be. >> i think those big endorsements from senator nancy skinner and assembly member buffy wicks, as well as the east bay times, the mercury news, were very helpful for our campaign, and i was very grateful to get them, especially as a first time candidate. >> first time candidate adina ishii now leads her opponent,

city council member sophie hahn. ishii passed on after a new round of results released friday evening. ishii has been critical of the delay in counting votes, but she says if she wins, she's hoping for a reset of berkeley politics. >> we've seen quite a lot of conflict in our city council and you know, that's really what i mean by a reset is us focusing on the things that are going on. you know, i was focused on housing and homelessness, public safety and infrastructure throughout my, my campaign. and those are the issues that i really want to focus on as mayor 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 dc. 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 uh- violent right wing extremists on the streets of berkeley. that could happen again. >> we did reach out to hahn. she did not return requests for comment. in berkeley, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> earlier this month, we told you about a beloved community garden shutting down because of a dispute with san jose's parks department. now, since 2007, volunteer gardeners with the prusch farm foundation has operated emma's kitchen garden. it's a one third plot of the

acre within emma farm park. now the organization must vacate the park by monday. volunteers say they have no choice but to comply for now, the brush farm park foundation will carry on. >> we will continue. we may lose this battle, but the war is not over. >> the city said it tried to come to an agreement about fundraising operations, but it ultimately could not. so it ended that partnership. the foundation believes this is retaliation for an asking questions about facilities and income generated at the park. i industry experts were at san jose state to inspire the next generation of innovators. the school hosted a conference diving into responsible uses of artificial intelligence. it featured some of the biggest companies like google, nvidia and ibm. >> 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. >> that was google's director of engineering. he says ai is not meant to be a crutch. it should be a tool, but with endless possibilities. many experts are calling for regulation and accountability as development continues in the east bay. now, a heartwarming effort to keep students safe in this cold weather we're having. 480 students at laurel elementary school receive free coats to keep them warm in the coming months. it's an initiative by nonprofit operation warm. it manufactures high quality coats and shoes for children in need. the school's principal says this effort comes just in time, as many of his students have been feeling the chill as the temperature drops. >> i know we're going to bring a lot of smiles on students faces today as they get a free coat. a lot of our students, they come from families that that don't have the resources that that one would hope for. and so i know

these coats are going to be well received and really make a difference in their lives. >> kaiser permanente northern california donated more than $21,000 to pay for all those coats. and as you can see here, kaiser volunteers helped students find the right fit. we love to see that. well, the bay area coastline will see some of its highest and lowest tides of the year. this weekend. it's due to the king tide event. the king tide occurs when the sun, earth and moon are aligned and when the moon is either full or new. this creates a stronger gravitational pull that makes tides more extreme, and the event will last until tomorrow and will occur again next month. it's going to be chilly out there, so prepare accordingly and least you saw it firsthand. yeah, you were over there. >> yes. yeah, i was down on the peninsula and those waves were huge and a lot of roads closed for sure. and as you know, you never should drive through that. you don't know how deep it is. so we have that and we also have some freezing cold conditions

where temperatures have dropped off to near freezing in our east bay and just above freezing parts of the north bay. so temperatures will continue to bottom out. our sun doesn't come up until another 40 minutes or so. 651 sets at 457. just ten hours of daylight. and we do have a little wind out there in parts of the bay. but all the rain once again, the pacific northwest and the tail end of the system will visit us for the second half of the weekend. pretty shot here though, from mount tam, where temperatures are in the 30s, it's certainly been cool and numbers are from the upper 30s. half moon bay, redwood city to low 40s in hayward and 48 san francisco. so that's cold for san francisco. you can see how pretty it is, though, with the sun coming up. 33 santa rosa danville has been down to freezing. 36 petaluma with low 40s in napa. so little wind there usually. napa is one of our coldest conditions. and look at fairfield, a north wind at 14, nearly 50 degrees. so you

just get a puff of wind. and those temperatures will stay elevated. 37 livermore and another gorgeous view from our roof camera. so cold. our freeze warning for the north bay. but it's just as cold in spots in our east bay valleys. later on today, we'll continue with that rough surf through the late morning hours, and then looking at the sunshine to start some high clouds coming into play, and then spotty light showers for tomorrow. so there's a look at the breaking waves. northwest facing beaches could be even higher. and this takes us through 11:00. our coastal flood advisory. looking at the flooding potential here along the bay shore, the east bay, parts of the north bay, the peninsula and that highest tide. 1043 this morning, over seven feet. level one system tomorrow, the scattered showers, slippery roads. it's a very light system. and as we get through the second half of the day, clouds ahead of that system and that will be later on today. you can see the high clouds increasing 1030. tomorrow we're cloudy and the first areas of rain will be in

the north bay, the peninsula, stopping this at 7:00. and you could have had a brief shower amounting to just trace amounts, even for the football game tomorrow. and santa clara you could see a light sprinkle. monday though, we're sunny. maybe a leftover shower. very cold night, monday night and rainfall amounts. really even getting trimmed back more so with just a couple hundredths through sunday night. and as we go through the rest of the week, there are chances of rain, mainly for the north bay coming into wednesday and thursday. but look where the bulk of the precip is, the pacific northwest and then down through the city maybe 2/10. san jose maybe. trace amounts 60 today in fremont, with the high clouds out there in the second half of the day, maybe low 60s, where you get a little bit more sun into the mid 60s. and then our level one system for the scattered showers tomorrow. bright day on monday, cold nigh, monday night mix of sun and clouds on tuesday. chances of rain then continue into the

known as a vaccine skeptic and has historically peddled debunked conspiracy theories. kennedy has gained some support by speaking about the need to improve the american diet, focusing on eliminating food dyes and reliance on ultra processed foods to help curtail obesity and chronic health tsunamis. johny fernandez abc news, new york. >> the summer olympics are set to arrive in los angeles in 2028, and organizers are counting on support from incoming president trump. the federal government plays a key role in making the games happen. however, trump has vowed to make a radical change in government spending. olympic organizers say they're currently in talks with president elect. >> trump has been incredibly clear about the responsibility we have hosting world events, starting with the world cup in 26 and subsequently with the olympics, and the requirements that places on the federal government travel security, transportation, logistics. >> yeah, there's a lot involved.

another potential obstacle, the first trump administration enacted a travel ban in 2017 targeting several muslim countries. organizers say they're not concerned about something similar happening again this morning. president biden will meet with china's president xi jinping. world leaders are meeting for the annual apec conference in peru. china's president met with the japanese prime minister ahead of that meeting. biden and china's leaders are expected to discuss recent ties between north korea and russia. experts believe the president will try to urge jinping to dissuade north korea from backing russia in the war. on ukraine. biden has also met with leaders from south korea and japan to discuss similar concerns. los angeles has elected a new district attorney and amid growing calls to release the menendez brothers from prison, he says he has a lot of evidence to review before voicing his support. new d.a. elect nathan hochman says he will look over the case true to the facts. >> the third track is something

called resentencing, and that is triggered when a da files a motion with a court to allow for resentencing to occur. >> gascon did that 12 days before the election. now, he could have done it eight months before the election, when the original request was received. but he waited until 12 days before the election, when he was 30 points down as to whether or not i'm going to support that particular motion or not. you got to do the hard work to make that decision. >> the brothers admitted to killing their wealthy parents with shotguns in 1989. prosecutors say they did it for money, while their defense argues it was in self-defense. following years of sexual abuse by their father. now, the only active wildfire in california right now is burning outside of la and ventura county. it's called the mountain fire, and it's burned about 20,000 acres since it sparked the day after the election. fire crews currently have at 93% contained as of this morning, about 250

buildings burned down and more than 100 others were damaged. also destroyed by the fire, 150 beehives. reporter sid garcia, from our sister station in los angeles, shows you how the ventura bee rescue is trying to recover clumps of wax and stuff on some of the thicker clusters that didn't maybe burn all the way through. >> eduardo flores shows us what the mountain fire destroyed his ventura bee rescue company services around a dozen growers in the burn area on somas and camarillo. this is one of the spots that he had several hives set up for his base to pollinate the orchards around here. he lost 150 colonies of bees. he says. each colony has between 40,000 to 80,000 bees. that adds up to millions of bees lost to the fire. >> this place was buzzing. you couldn't hear yourself think at times, especially in the in the in the warmer times of the day. bees are everywhere and they're busy working orchards all around. we have native trees here, pepper trees, eucalyptus.

there's water down there because of the of the creeks. so they have everything they need here. this is a great overwintering spot. >> what he needs are bees to replenish the millions he's lost. according to the ventura county agriculture department, 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 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

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 good. >> 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. dan ashley, abc seven news. >> interesting. well, the puzzles are part of an exhibit now on display at the california academy of sciences here in san francisco. it's called california state of nature. >> lisa, that is pretty cool. this morning it is freezing in some of our inland valleys. here's a look at the golden gate bridge. our radiational cooling at its best. you see the lack of wind there. the flag isn't

moving and we have freezing temperatures over in danville, so some 40s closer to the bay and a couple advisories to pass along to ♪ it's a little pill with a big story to tell ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance ♪ ♪ at each day's staaart ♪ ♪ as time went on, it was easy to seeee ♪ ♪ i'm lowering my a1c ♪ jardiance works 24/7 in your body

have dropped off into the 30s in many locations. rain in the pacific northwest. a pretty view here. emeryville. over in the east bay valleys, we've got freezing. temperatures around danville and concord in the upper 30s. while redwood city is joining that group, as well as half moon bay, where temperatures have dropped off over 13 degrees since yesterday. 48 oakland san francisco the warmer locations low 40s here in santa cruz, another cool day. we had temperatures barely at 60 around the bay. and today, once again, with the numbers dropping off in the low 30s, it's going to be a while to recover. and then when we do get milder,

we'll see some increasing clouds. 49 by the delta where we have a north wind keeping that atmosphere mixed. and from our exploratorium camera, it's clear here this morning. cold. the freeze warning. it's for the north bay until 8:00, but it's just as cold in our inland east bay. rough surf mainly sunny today, and we'll be looking at the chance of some spotty light showers as the system just grazes the bay area tomorrow. high surf advisory for the next few hours. the waves have been huge around pacifica, half moon bay. you can see along the north coast here, 9 to 11ft and certainly dangerous out there. so keep your distance for sure. and with that we have our coastal flood advisory allowing for some roads really to be blocked off with some minor flooding. the high tide. 1043 at seven over seven feet. and you can see some of the areas here in the north bay mill valley over into the east bay, the peninsula here, the bay shore, looking at the possibility of

those parking lots and some of the marshes and pathways there being flooded. level one system tomorrow, barely. we've got scattered spotty showers. it will keep the roadways a little bit wet, and with the king tide, though, there's certainly some things to look out for the weekend. and as we go through the morning hours, it's sunny. but look what happens. by the afternoon we get some clouds. the rain stays offshore. this is early tomorrow, mid morning, 1030, mostly cloudy skies and then a smattering of some very light showers. not amounting to much at all. and then as we get into monday afternoon it's sunny, but we still could see a light shower. and then monday night is very cold. sunday night the rainfall accumulation amounting to a couple hundredths. so with the cloudy skies 1:00 kickoff in santa clara could see a few sprinkles. otherwise really not a big deal. and the rest of the week we have rain chances. mainly for the north bay. a lot like the previous week. but look where all the rain wants to fall. not

only in the pacific northwest, extreme northern california. by the time we get down to the bay area and, you know, this is a little suspect over two inches santa rosa, but we will be on that line of some heavier rain into the north bay or rain chances into the north bay. and the rest of us not seeing too much. so we'll wait and see how it plays out. low to mid 60s today with livermore at 6264 by the delta. the accuweather seven day forecast a cold morning level one system tomorrow mainly cloudy. most of you won't see any rain at all. and then by monday we are bright for the most part, cold. monday night. tuesday mix of clouds and sun. here comes our chance of rain favoring the north bay. wednesday thursday could see more showers on friday. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. on the court now. golden state faced memphis last night at chase center in a physical nba cup game. and we most likely saw the pass of the year coming from one of the warriors. here's abc seven sports director larry bei. >> good morning everybody. after

their emotional win in klay thompson's return, the warriors had to find the same intensity last night against memphis, an nba cup game at chase center. so how would steph follow up on his 37 point performance on tuesday. a pass of the year candidate right here brandon behind the back. is he going out of bounds jonathan kuminga finishes at the other end. worth another look. pods into the first row. how much you pay for those tickets? nice to meet you. warriors up by seven at the break. nine players had at least eight points for the dubs. buddy hield leading the way with 18. beats the eight foot nine inch zach edey i know he's seven four but he looks eight foot 910 point lead in the third. curry full court pressure playing some d forces the steal. and this would be his cleanest look all night. curry held to a mere 13 points. didn't play the fourth quarter game was out of hand. steve kerr says he wants trace jackson davis playing with more force. this would be that with authority. warriors up by as many as 24. remember the grizz don't have john morant. he's hurt. real fireworks happened late. draymond green two technicals in the final two minutes. he gets tossed kerr got teed up as well after the game

kerr was as hot as we've seen him in a long time. going after the young ref who was handed out the ts. warriors win 123, 118. kerr still hot during his press conference. >> i'm going to choose not to not to speak on the officiating last quarter and a half. it was disgusting. i felt bad for our fans having to watch just what transpired. just the, you know, but great win there. >> ten and two warriors will host all star weekend in february. sounds like steph and walnut creek sabrina ionescu will have a rematch of their three point shootout, possibly to be joined by klay thompson and caitlin clark. the format for the actual all star game, where nobody's been playing defense for a while, that could go to a four team format. two short games and the winners meet for the title. nfl george kittle. he went to iowa, lost a bet, had to wear ucla gear this week 49 ers host seattle on sunday. remember kittle had two touchdowns in the previous meeting up in seattle george and fullback kyle juszczyk went

jumping into the stands to hug their wives. now the niners are five and four trying to string some wins together. seattle is reeling. they had a fast start but have dropped four of five. so kittle is expecting seattle's best. >> 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. >> let's get ready to buffer. netflix presenting 58 year old mike tyson against 27 year old jake paul. now for years, tyson was the baddest man on the planet. looked okay early, tired, quickly. took some punches. the bout went for eight fairly uneventful rounds. nothing close to a knockout. paul, a winner by decision. he supposedly made $40 million for this bout. tyson 20 million. that's a wrap on morning sports.

us. as for today, the first half of the day is sunnier and colder. the second half milder and partly sunny, low 60s for you in livermore. starting out in the low to mid 30s for many of you, with our freeze warning up in the north bay and some mid 60s for the rest of us, the accuweather seven day forecast level one system for tomorrow, spotty light showers, less than 5/100 and then we're sunny for monday. cold monday night. chances of rain will favor the north bay wednesday thursday. potentially more rain for all of us on friday, but it's not a fair deal. it doesn't shake out uniformly, so we'll watch it as to how far south that rain is going to visit us. but as for today, the driest day and the coldest morning for a while there, and you feel it as you walk out. >> this morning i got the flannel pants, flannel shirt, you know, really cozy up. all right. thank you all for joining us for abc seven mornings. we'll see you back here at eight. have see you back here at eight. have a great day and stay warm.
