barricaded himself back inside the home, but was eventually taken into custody. according to our last update from police, just before 2:00 this morning, the suspect was transported to a local hospital. they are still in critical condition as of last check. now we are expecting to hear more from police in a press conference later on this afternoon. and we of course, will let you know what happens for now. reporting live in san jose. lena howland, abc seven news. >> lena, thank you. today, oakland city workers are planning to rally at city hall to protest potential budget cuts as the city faces a multi-million dollar deficit. the city council is set to meet tomorrow to discuss options to balance the budget. abc7 news reporter j.r. stone breaks down a new city report that has first responders concerned. >> this new report says that first quarter numbers show that immediate action is necessary when it comes to balancing oakland's general purpose fund. basically saying that if oakland doesn't make changes to their

budget now by next summer, they'll be nearly $100 million in the red. they would then be required to declare a fiscal emergency. antoinette blue is a 911 dispatcher in oakland who heads the seiu 1021 city of oakland chapter. she says they can't take more cuts. >> further cuts. it. it's going to make it. it's going to make it increasingly harder. and it's no mistake right now with this political climate, it's hard and it's going to get harder. >> seth olear is vice president of oakland firefighters local 55 union. his thoughts echo those of blue. >> we have no fat to cut. we have no. we are down to the bone. i mean, there every fire engine right now is running ragged. the phone rings 100,000 times a year at the fire department dispatch center, and we answer every single call for service. >> there was a belief that the sale of the coliseum site would balance the budget. but so far,

that hasn't happened because alameda county has yet to approve the sale of its portion of the property. in the report, the oakland director of finance writes, it would be fiscally irresponsible to rely on funds from any property sale, including the coliseum, until after the sale is completed. cash is received by the city and title is transferred. olear believes there are other areas to cut where first responders wouldn't be affected. >> there's definitely some uncollected uh- uh- business taxes that are out there in the tens of millions of dollars. >> blue believes the high ups need to make major cuts. >> executives, directors, whomever. it's time you know they they need to start taking taking a hit as well. take some concessions as well. you know, you can't put this all on the individuals that actually do the work as to what route the city will go, that will be discussed tuesday at the oakland city council meeting. >> j.r stone, abc seven news. >> and we're tracking developing

news this morning about the war in ukraine for the first time since the initial invasion by russia, president biden is allowing ukraine to fire u.s. made long range missiles into russia. the decision coming after russia unleashed its third largest attack against ukraine this year, targeting power plants and energy infrastructure. abc news reporter perry russom explains what this could mean for the wa. >> reporter for the first time, president biden allowing ukraine to use long range missiles toine strike inside russia. it's a major reversal in u.s. policy. u.s. officials say a reason for the change. the 10,000 north korean troops arriving to fight alongside the russians. in his nightly address, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky says the missiles will speak for themselves. the focus of ukraine's new capabilities expected to be in russia's kursk region. that's where the north korean troops have joined some 50,000 russian troops trying to recapture the land. ukraine seized months ago.

>> the key point here is that kursk is russia. and if incoming president trump calls for negotiations, the ukrainians are going to need kursk as a bargaining chip at the table with mr. putin. >> the u.s. had already given ukraine shorter range missiles, only to be used on ukrainian territory seized by russia. >> i think for the russians, they're going to regard this as a major escalation. but the reality is they're going to have to wait for the next administration, the trump administration, and see actually where policy truly lies. >> secretary of defense lloyd austin, speaking hours before the policy change went public. >> this war could end today. it could have ended two years ago, or two and a half years ago. if putin would have decided to make the right decision and pull his his forces out of ukraine. >> biden's reversal comes two months before he leaves the white house. president elect trump claims he is the only person who can bring both sides together to end the war. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> president elect donald trump returned to madison square

garden over the weekend for a ufc match. he was met with a round of applause and chants of usa! as he entered the new york arena with an entourage that included ufc president dana white, elon musk and robert f kennedy j. this is the first time trump has been to madison square garden since a controversial rally last month. you'll remember that was the rally where comedian said puerto rico was a, quote, floating island of garbage. the president elect has named another cabinet nominee. he's picked brendan carr to serve as chair of the federalto serve as communications commission. carr currently is a commissioner on that board. he's already promised to end the agency's promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion and dismantle what he calls the, quote, censorship cartel. at some of silicon valley's big tech companies like google and apple. trump nominated carr to the fcc in 2017. trump says he nominated carr because of the, quote, great work he's done on the board. this morning, we're hearing from california's soon to be senator adam schiff. he's responding to comments president elect trump made throughout his

campaign, specifically about schiff being an enemy from within. >> look, i'm not going to be intimidated by anything he says, by anything he does. if i was, i wouldn't be on your show. i'm going to do my responsibility in the senate. i will defend our state. i will defend the rights and freedom of the american people. >> schiff was asked about trump's comments, suggesting that he would use the u.s. military against his political opponents. schiff said the military has historically stood up to civilian authority and unconstitutional acts. >> 509 on this monday in the accuweather forecast. we're looking at a quiet start to the week. today. we have clear skies out there. we're expecting a lot of sunshine on our monday and temperatures chilly right now with a lot of us in the 40s, and then we'll start to climb into the 50s later on. this morning. so it's brisk sunshine once again. temperatures mainly in the upper 50s to the lower 60s. we'll hit about 61 in san rafael, 59 in vallejo, 62 in san jose, 60 in san mateo, hit about 59 in antioch. but we are tracking some big changes

coming our way, starting on wednesday and through the rest of the week. we are tracking our first atmospheric river of the season, but the track currently and there's good consensus on this, is that much of the moisture, the highest impacts from this atmospheric river will be around eureka. that's not to say that portions of the bay area are not going to see some heavy rain, but the moisture plume you see, all of this green is really aimed at eureka. and areas right around the oregon california border. but by wednesday, we are tracking some heavier showers, working their way into the north bay. even into thursday, you notice how that plume wobbles. just a little bit. still stays to the north of the region. it's by friday. we'll start to see widespread rain and wind. but starting on wednesday we will see the risk of some flooding and here's the flood risk we have here midweek for the most part, we're talking about extreme northern portions of sonoma county, parts of napa county. so i would say areas from santa

rosa points to the north that would include healdsburg, cloverdale, ukiah, lakeport. you do want to start to prep for some heavy rain coming our way by wednesday. what i mean by heavy rain is look at some of these rainfall totals we are tracking now. outside of the north bay. amounts are very light. we're talking about a third of an inch of rain or less for areas like san francisco, oakland, even san jose. but you hone into parts of the north bay, and this is where we're likely going to see some flooding occurring from ukiah, clear lake yountville closing in on five inches of rain. so we're going to fine tune this forecast, reggie. we'll talk about the rest of the rain coming thursday and friday in just a few minutes. >> drew. thank you. coming up, a health alert over anor e coli outbreak. what you may want to leave off your thanksgiving grocery list and christmas in the park returns to the south bay starting this week. >> it will run until january, but there is an upcoming special one night only event to tell you about. >> and look what she's done. beyonce. just in time for her christmas treat. we'll tell you about

quiet start to the week. we'll hit about 57 in napa, 60 in the city, 62 in san jose, 59. that high in antioch. overnight tonight we do have freeze warnings in effect for the north bay as those temperatures get chilly once again well into the 30s. just be aware of that. and then around the bay shoreline will be in the upper 30s to the lower 40s, so it will be a cold start to the day here tomorrow. tomorrow is quiet, but then things get very interesting here starting on wednesday and for the rest of the week, we are tracking a very strong atmospheric river moving into northern california. the bulk of that moisture, the highest winds, the worst impacts in california, will be around eureka. but the north bay here locally is going to feel some high impacts as well. so folks listening in parts of sonoma, napa county, especially those in, say, saint helena and napa county, santa rosa and sonoma county points to the north. you do want to begin your storm preps today and tomorrow, because we are looking at a lot of rain coming our way beginning wednesday. that's when the flood risk begins in the

north bay. area wide for folks outside of the north bay, expect your rainiest day to be friday. that's when we have widespread rain and wind expected across the entire region. now, minor changes in the storm track is going to mean major changes to the impact. so this is one of those weeks you just really want to stay tuned to the forecast every day to see what is the latest information with the way the storm track is going. but for the next couple of days, the information has been pretty concise, showing you that by wednesday we are tracking heavy rounds of rain here in the north bay for folks outside of the north bay. the showers are mainly light and scattered. you can just see that plume of moisture aimed at sonoma and napa county. and that's when we look at rainfall totals here just for wednesday. this is wednesday itself from morning to night. those totals really add up in parts of napa, sonoma, mendocino and lake county. so folks in those areas where those inches are measuring 2 to 4, maybe five. you do want to prepare for some heavy rain on

wednesday. you can see those folks in the city, the east bay, the south bay. it's just mainly light rain associated with this first round of storms. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny and breezy today with increasing clouds tomorrow, wednesday and thursday. the worst impacts will be felt in the north bay. but then by friday, that's when the rain becomes widespread and even some showers lingering into the weekend. guys. >> all right drew thank you. coming up, the seven things to know this morning. >> a san francisco neighborhood remains split over the passage of prop k. now, people who live near the great highway say they are focusing their help with this health insurance stuff. - check out covered california. it's a free service from the state that helps you get health insurance. millions of people have used it. - wait, for real? - mmm hmm, they even offer financial help to lower the cost.
