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 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. >> happening today, a vigil is happening in bodega bay for the

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

within emma farm park. now the organization must vacate vacate the park by monday, but 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 did end that partnership. the foundation believes this is retaliation for it asking questions about facilities and income generated at this 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 used as a tool, but with endless possibilities. many experts are calling for regulation and accountability as development continues. all right. san francisco held its diwali celebration, and what better place to do it than at the bhangra and beats night market? it was crowded. the streets were filled with people who got to experience a vibrant display of dancing. here's how it looked through the eyes of abc7 news photographer rick dupont. welcome to the diwali festival. >> it's the very first time that san francisco has celebrated diwali officially. right now, city hall is lit up yellow and pink just in honor of bhangra

and beats and diwali. >> what it means is a little subjective for everybody. >> wally is a time for us to meet with our different family members and friends and celebrate our cultures and together. so it's more of a celebration of the syncretism of the things that happen in one's life and throughout one's culture, through the different shefs i'm hindu, i'm indian, i celebrate diwali every year. >> it's just very chill. but also you want to dance. you're enjoying, enjoys, i love, i love bhangra. >> did you dance? >> i have danced yet near that stage. >> show me one of your moves. tsay. this is the place to be. >> there's just a ton of people out here, which is really fun. >> it is the holiday of light against ignorance.

come out with joy and happiness and ready to dance and be together. >> in the east bay, 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 these coats. and as you can see here, kaiser volunteers helped the students find the right fit. great 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 all aligned, and when the moon is either full or new. this creates a stronger gravitational pull that makes tides more extreme. the event will last until tomorrow and will occur again next month. and lisa, you saw firsthand the effects of this tide. yeah. >> yes. that's right. and you know, some of the roads have been closed closer to the coast in the bay shoreline because of the high tide and the high surf also. so it's dangerous. and you should know that some of those walking paths, jogging areas, parks, parking lots could be flooded, as are coastal flood advisory continues through monday. but what a gorgeous shot. this is our sky star wheel

or the sky star wheel at fisherman's wharf, and you can see how clear it is out there. radiational cooling certainly this morning, 47 dropped a degree in san francisco, 48. in oakland, it's 45. in hayward. and looking at temperatures in the mid 40s, half moon bay, you were in the 30s and in the low to mid 40s in parts of santa cruz. cool. start with temperatures near 60 today. still a few upper 30s in our north bay valleys from santa rosa, petaluma danville was particularly cold this morning. nice and clear from emeryville. clear and cool for us to start the day. and then for your saturday. rough surf, mainly sunny to start out, increasing high clouds later on today and then for sunday. some very spotty light showers could last until monday. definitely increasing the clouds out there for your sunday. so the surf has been pretty fierce throughout the last couple of days, and it's beginning to it will begin to subside late morning, but still some ten foot breakers

there. the north coast and less than that around monterey. but looking at our coastal flood advisory, this is lasting through tomorrow. the next hour, looking at a seven foot high tide. so minor flooding here in parts of the bay shore. so keep that in mind if you're headed out this morning exploring parts of the bay there. so look at the sun throughout the first part of the day. 6:00 it's still sunny, a few high clouds and then as we get into the afternoon, into your sunday, this is when we'll begin to see some of those very light showers. they are going to be with us, not only on sunday, but through the evening hours. this is 6:00 and then into the later hours, even monday, looking like we still could see a few showers there. this is monday afternoon. so while we see sunshine for most of us there could be those cumulus buildups with that cold air funneling in behind this system, which will only drop a couple hundredths here. look very light. returns here tomorrow, though, looking at the clouds

throughout parts of the afternoon, increasing there for about 60 degrees. mostly cloudy. the light winds in santa clara for the game at 1:00 105 60 in fremont today. look for 62 in livermore. so low 60s for most. the coast will be cooler. the accuweather seven day forecast. we've certainly got that chill not only today, the next several days, even with the clouds not helping out too much to insulate us overnight. maybe a little bit tonight, then for monday. still a slight chance of showers. mix of sun and clouds for tuesday. it wants to rain on wednesday and thursday, but whether it does, the best chance will be in the north bay. and then friday maybe we'll get more rain south of the golden gate. so we'll keep you posted on that. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, thank you. well, college football is here on abc seven and espn college game day anchors reece davis and kirk herbstreit preview week 12 matchups from the game day set in athens, georgia. >> triple header from the sec on

abc today. it starts at noon eastern time. an old swc rivalry from back in the day texas and arkansas. you know for the for the older audience us you, me, myself this is this one goes back. >> and if you're an arkansas fan, you know, no matter what's happened all year, you want to play texas and you want to beat texas. and i think really sparks team a couple of years ago probably learned a valuable lesson about how difficult of a matchup this can be. i expect texas to match that enthusiasm this time around. >> yeah, texas going into a place where tennessee has already lost 330 eastern time lsu in florida bayou bengals coming off that disappointment against bama boy you get d.j. lagway back, which is really big. >> florida's you know they're such a different offense when he's able to go out there and play. and we were talking in a meeting. lsu we kind of put them out. now they just got to worry about winning football games. but they're still technically alive to try to get to atlanta. so they cannot afford to think oh, season's over because they still have a bunch at stake.

>> and tennessee doesn't need any help. they win their way in. they can get to the sec championship game here at georgia. >> yeah. and you know josh heupel has done such a great job as a head coach. the one team that he's really just never had a chance to go out and be dominant again and show that he can play with is georgia great opportunity. this scene is really set for him. got to stay focused on the road to be able to pull it off. >> dogs have won seven straight against the vols the last time tennessee won i

high surf there the next few hours. our coastal flood advisory. and then we're going to bring in our storm impact scale for sunday, showing you how we can have some rain showers dotting the landscape. >> steph, all right lisa thank you. president elect donald trump is quickly appointing cabinet members and political allies to key roles in his administration. abc news reporter johnny fernandez tells us more about his picks drawing intense scrutiny. >> president elect donald trump has been quickly naming key members of his second administration friday evening. trump announcing caroline leavitt as white house press secretary. leavitt previously served as an assistant press secretary in trump's first administration. it comes as members of congress are pushing for the bipartisan house ethics committee to release its findings from an investigation into former congressman matt gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. gaetz is trump's pick for attorney general. sources tell abc news the committee heard from a woman who said gates had

sex with her when she was 17. gates denies the allegations, calling it false smear. >> leave them alone. you let them go off and live their lives because usually they've resigned in disgrace. in the case of matt gaetz, though, he has been nominated to become the top law enforcement officer of the united states of america. >> and growing scrutiny over trump's selection of robert f kennedy jr as health and human services secretary. kennedy is 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 elect trump. the federal government plays a key role in making the games happen. however, trump has vowed to quote, make a radical change

to government spending. olympic organizers say they're now 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. another potential obstacle the first trump administration enacted a travel ban in 2017 targeting several muslim countries. organizers say they are not concerned about something similar happening again. well, 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. back here in the u.s, 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 back in 1989. prosecutors say they did it for money, while the 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 in 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. this morning, about 250 buildings burned down and more than 100 others were damaged. also destroyed by this fire, 150 beehives. reporter sid garcia, from our sister station in la 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 in sylmar and camarillo. this is one of the

spots that he had several hives set up for his bees 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 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 gofundme 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 said. >> thank you. still ahead this morning raccoons solving problems. the research underway in the east bay proving just how intelligent these animals really are. and we'll take you outside for a live look from our sutro tower camera. looking at the golden gate bridge this morning,

for raccoons getting into the box. it's a little test. and for berkeley researchers, there is a lot to learn. here's abc7 news anchor dan ashley. >> 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 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. and, lisa, i can tell you, raccoons are very good at getting into my trash cans. >> oh, yeah. absolutely. got to have those on tight. those lids as you look outside. nice and sunny here. temperatures still in the 40s. san francisco below average. we should see about 64 coming in at around 60 today. but the winds are going to be light. we'll talk about those cold nights and more clouds throughout the a season of new traditions sales event. gift yourself some savings and visit your local kia dealer today. get 1.9% apr for up to 60 months plus $1,000 retail bonus cash on specially tagged 2025 sportage and sorento vehicles.

stephanie berzinski: every day, at least one child dies in a house fire, and another 293 are injured from fires or burns. three out of five home fire deaths take place in homes that did not have properly working smoke alarms, or they didn't have any smoke alarms at all. thank you so much for having us. you ready to talk some fire safety? absolutely. home fires can be very deadly. we see all kinds of causes for house fires, from cooking to people putting things on the oven and falling asleep. lightning strikes, kids playing with matches. do-it-yourself home projects. smoke detectors can be the difference in life and death if your house catches on fire. the reasons is the early notification that they provide in the event of a fire. they're designed to pick up on small amounts of smoke to notify you at the beginning stages of fires. people that get annoyed by their smoke detector beeping or chirping, it can be fixed. most of the time it's just a battery. change the battery.

don't ever take your smoke detector down and say you'll get to it later because that could be the time that you need it. a lot of people think that you'll wake up from the smell of the smoke or the heat will wake you up. that's not the case. it's actually just the opposite. if you're asleep and a fire breaks out and you do not have a smoke detector to wake you up, most likely you're going to breathe in that smoke and not wake up at all. stephanie: kidde's ten year sealed lithium battery alarms are a really important feature. the battery lasts for the lifetime of the alarm, offering you a worry-free decade of detection, meaning you don't have to replace batteries every six months or so. that being said, you should always check your alarms regularly. we recommend at least once a month, if not weekly, because what many people don't realize is that both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms only last between seven to ten years, so the entire alarm has to be replaced. our alarms will chirp twice every 30 seconds to alert you when that time has come. kidde alarms have gotten smarter in a variety of ways.

some offer combo coverage, meaning you get both a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in one device. many are often now digital and connected. at kidde, our mission is to save lives. we want to protect every moment for everyone. we believe eveone should feel safe and protected in their own homes, but unfortunately, there are some vulnerable communities who are more at risk for residential fires, and that's why fire safety education is so important and so critical. we understand that fire safety is often out of sight, out of mind, but we want to make it a priority and make it top of mind so that we can save more lives. ♪ ♪ thank you to shawn and stephanie for sharing such important information with us. i have some to dos to add to my list. number one is to check my smoke alarms. a working alarm can double a person's chances of safely escaping a house fire. you can get more tips at kidde.com, where you can also view products and learn how to choose the best alarms for your needs.
