new york. >> an east bay nonprofit is scrambling today to make sure hundreds of senior citizens receive thanksgiving meals. s.o.s. meals on wheels was targeted by vandals not once but twice. not actually. even twice. it's three times in the past week disrupting delivery services. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez has the story from san leandro. >> reporter it's crunch time as s.o.s. meals on wheels volunteers load up meals to deliver this thanksgiving week, but they are down three refrigerated vans after they were vandalized, all within about the past week. >> overnight, someone's coming here and they're crawling underneath our vans and drilling into our gas tanks and draining them. of all of the gas that's in there. and then we can't use that vehicle. we have to order a new part. we have to wait for the new part. we have to pay for it to get fixed. >> executive director charlie dennerlein tells me this has happened before, costing them between 16 and $20,000 this year

alone. >> that's just the monetary cost. the real cost is how many fewer deliveries we might be able to make, and how much less time our staff and our volunteers are able to spend on each visit with the older adults that we're supposed to be visiting with and having meaningful interactions with each day. >> thankfully, dennerlein says it hasn't kept them from delivering meals to the seniors in the eight communities in alameda county they serve. but seniors may not get them on their scheduled days, and the nonprofit has to do more with less time. so for now, this is one of the trucks that's still out of commission. and if you want to help, dennerlein says the best way is to volunteer your time. you can also donate money by going to the website s o s m o w.org in san leandro, gloria rodriguez abc seven news. >> to the accuweather forecast. abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma says we are done with all the rain and he has our thanksgiving forecast. >> so mostly cloudy this afternoon. we're dry. we're done with the stormy pattern. mid 50s

daniel andrea san diego is suspected of detonating bombs outside two biotech companies in 2003, one at the chiron corporation in emeryville. the other at the shaklee corporation in pleasanton. the fbi says san diego targeted the firms because they worked with another lab that had conducted experiments on animals. san diego was detained in wales. he's been on the fbi's most wanted terrorist list since 2009. new claims today of abuse against sean diddy combs. abc news reporter aaron katersky tells us these latest accusations come from diddy's personal staff. >> the federal judge, weighing whether to grant sean combs bail. prosecutors are warning diddy is a danger, accusing him of a decades long pattern of violence. some of it, they say, is evident on this video obtained by cnn showing combs attacking his then girlfriend cassie in a hotel hallway. the defense has argued the video depicts the toxic end of a loving relationship. but now, for the first time, prosecutors, in a letter to the judge claim former staff members have described the defendant threatening to kill them,

throwing objects at them and being struck, punched and shoved by the defendant and seeing him do the same to others. combs has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges, and while his lawyers did not address the new violence accusations directly, they asked the judge not to consider them. if what the government is afraid of is that mr. combs is going to be violent towards someone as attorney said, there's just zero chance of that happening. his lawyers have argued combs should be released on a $50 million bond to home confinement in a three bedroom apartment on manhattan's upper east side. they say it would be far more restrictive than jail, with a round the clock private security limits on phone calls and a prohibition on most visitors. prosecutors say combs cannot be trusted to follow the rules. >> that was aaron katersky, the judge in diddy's latest bail hearing, decided to delay a decision to next week. diddy is awaiting trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, and faces a series of civil suits alleging sexual assault and physical violence.

trump term begins. the president elect's outspoken incoming border czar, tom homan, in eagle pass, texas, today with national guard troops and other law enforcement deployed by governor greg abbott. >> let me be clear. there is going to be a mass deportation because we just finished a massive illegal immigration crisis on the border and swift reaction today from foreign leaders after trump threatened to implement 25% across the board tariffs on mexico and canada. >> on day one of his new administration, if both countries, he says, don't crack down on their borders with the u.s, mexico's president today showing a letter she sent to trump warning she'll hit back with tariffs of her own. mexico is the united states largest trading partner with the u.s. buying nearly half $1 trillion of mexican goods like computers, cars and electrical equipment. tariffs could also hurt u.s. industries and send prices higher for american consumers. and canada's prime minister

calling trump directly after the announcement. i don't think the idea of going to war with the united states is what anyone wants. >> what we will do is stand up for canadian jobs. >> trump now also accusing china of sending, quote, drugs pouring into our country, threatening an additional 10% tariff on all chinese products to trump, saying his tariffs will, quote, remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl and all illegal aliens. stop the invasion of our country. >> every thing that they sell into the united states is going to have like a 25% tariff until they stop drugs from coming in. >> mexico's president today calling the fentanyl epidemic a consumption problem inside the u.s. jay o'brien abc news, washington. >> so if the trump administration implements these proposed tariffs, what will it mean to the california economy? are key industries and the prices of our consumer goods? are there items you should buy now before the tariffs begin? let's take a closer look with

stanford law professor and senior fellow at the stanford institute for economic policy research, alan sykes, thank you so much for joining us today. >> my pleasure. >> so, professor sykes, let's start here. how big of a shock would this be to our market? and economy? >> well, i think it would be a significant price shock for certain industries and sectors. if it goes forward. my best sense is that it's going to be a threat that may not have to be carried out, that there will be some sort of negotiation between now and the inauguration. that's perhaps why there's so much lead time here in this announcement. but if it actually does go into effect, it will certainly raise prices of certain things. >> how could it play in negotiations? that is, what is it that the president wants out of the countries that he's talking about putting these tariffs on? >> well, i think the first and foremost, it's a border control. the president elect probably

wants mexico to start actively intervening with some of the caravans that have been headed toward the united states. and this is a threat. a couple of months ahead of inauguration, to try and get them motivated to start doing this. it obviously is a threat to mexican commercial interests, and they will then put some pressure on the mexican government to capitulate to what president elect trump is trying to get them to do. >> but there's also canada, and there's also china. of course, and each of these cases a little bit different. you know, in china's case, there's also talk about fentanyl coming in. i mea, is it unusual to use an economic lever such as tariffs to try to stem what he's trying to stem here? and could it actually be effective? >> well, it's certainly not unusual. historically we've used trade sanctions for many, many years against adversaries. it's unusual to use them against allies, the people that we think of as our neighbors and allies. we've had tariffs on goods from china ever since the first trump administration put tariffs on

for intellectual property abuse and so on. those have been continued through the biden administration. and an additional tariff on china. would, you know, actually not be that significant relative to what we've already had in place for some years? right. >> but this would be quite different, right from the tariffs. the first term, because those were rather strategic and minimal. this is like we're talking widespread, 100% of the goods coming in from those countries. and in terms of canada, mexico, you said they're allies. yes. don't we have some sort of free trade agreement that we're pact in part of? >> yeah. the usmca mexico, canada agreement commits us to low tariffs and in many cases, duty free tariffs on goods coming in from those countries. it, however, has a national security exception that i'm sure the trump administration would point to. they would no doubt argue that migrant flows and fentanyl flows are a threat to national security, and the way that national security exception is worded, it's very deferential

to the country that invokes it. it can't be challenged in the dispute settlement system of the usmca. >> i see. all right. so we've heard in a lot of the economists, you know, quotes about this, that this could, if implemented, 25% tariffs could send inflation up. it could send a lot of our consumer goods up. talk about which key things we might see higher prices on and also which key sectors, especially industries here in the bay area or california, could be most affected. >> well, i would say agricultural goods from mexico, if there's an across the board tariff, we get a lot of agricultural goods from mexico. there are increasing numbers of high tech components of things made in mexico that are inputs into things that are made here. automobile products. and so forth. and as far as the bay area is concerned, i must i can't honestly say i know exactly which industries here would be most hit by by these tariffs on canada and mexico. >> and we've heard that consumer

goods such as electronics, like we're seeing in those shots and, you know, very popular during the holidays, people buying their tvs that those costs could go up as well. a lot of the components and a lot of those machines made in china, obviously, but also mexico. would you advise people to stock up in anticipation, possibly. >> i don't think i would. i would suggest that it's possible that there might be some advanced stocking up by manufacturers in this country with components that they would like to use as inputs. as far as consumers are concerned, i wouldn't i wouldn't change my shopping pattern based on things that are may, may or may not happen. next year. >> right. i guess i want to zoom back out and kind of take a macro look at this to end this, which is how does this affect the economy globally perhaps. and also the relationships between countries globally. >> well, it's it depends on how it plays out. if it's if these

are threats that ultimately are not carried out but are replaced with some kind of negotiated arrangement, it shouldn't have a huge impact going forward. if we do end up with a lot of high tariffs for a long period of time, for a lot of goods from a lot of countries, it will certainly be somewhat inflationary. as you mentioned, it will strain relationships with allies like mexico and canada. and it will reflect the kind of continued deterioration in the international agreements that have governed international trade for the really the post-world war ii era. the trump administration has shown a willingness to aggressively deviate from commitments that the united states has made in the past, and it would be destabilizing for the international trade agreement system for sure. >> we'll see if it comes to pass. alan sykes, stanford institute for economic policy research thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> housing affordability is one of the biggest issues facing california. yet voters rejected

an effort to expand rent control in california. our media partner, the san francisco standard, has explored why the proposition failed and what can be done now. next

measure that would have given cities more ability to enact rent control on newer properties. with the cost of living so high. many bay area residents recognize the need to rein in rents. so why did prop 33 fail? and now what? our media partner, the san francisco standard, explores the issue in a new article. if not now, then when will more rent control come to california? joining us live now is standard business reporter kevin nguyen, who wrote the article. kevin, it's good to see you. >> hi, chris, and happy thanksgiving. good to see you again. >> yeah happy thanksgiving. look, i think the concept of controls on rent control confuses a lot of people. so first explain what prop 33 would have enabled. have voters passed it? >> right. and i think we have our kind of bloated election cycle to thank for that. because

if viewers remember a month ago, if you watched commercials for this prop, you know, you thought a yes or no vote was for affordable housing, but essentially what prop 33 would have done was it would have repealed a 1995 law that restricts cities from putting rent control on properties built after 1990 or before 1995. sorr. >> right. so why did people reject it? what were the reasons for and against? obviously people bought into one side of the argument. >> right. well i mean when you lose, there's always going to be a bunch of reasons. but i think it boils down to a couple of things. kristen, i think number one, you have the issue of itself. i think people really saw the arguments and saw the risks of rolling out rent control irresponsibly. also, this was the third time. this was the third straight election cycle, i should say that the ballot. the rent control measure was on the ballot. so if people recall things like dialysis, by the time something makes it to the ballot over and over again, you just kind of forget what you're voting for or you start to become suspicious of the

authors. and then also, you know, it's it kind of goes in line with the conservative swing we saw across the ballot this november. i think voters are, you know, cautious about spending. little skeptical of, you know, incumbents. so all of that all together kind of created the perfect storm here. >> yes. okay. that trend definitely was there. but the funny thing about this one is there was kind of an interesting coalition, if you will. right? because not only did you have apartment building owners who were saying, hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, you know, turn down prop 33. you also had pro housing advocates, and that seems like interesting bedfellows. can you explain why? >> yeah. so to your point, kristen, normally you only have real estate interests to line up on one side to protect property values or look out for apartment owners. but here, pro housing advocates or, you know, nimbys, as you might call them. yes. in my backyard. these those folks were also really concerned that rolling out rent control irresponsibly could have stifled new housing development, too. so

some local municipalities, for example, said that they wanted to use rent control to pretty much just make it unfeasible to build new housing in their city, right? >> i mean, san francisco was all ready to go, right? take action if this had passed. >> correct. you know, so the board of supervisors voted unanimously last month to do a rent control expansion because in san francisco, rent control is backdated to 1979. so that's actually the last cutoff. so aaron peskin's bill would have moved it up to 1994. but that was contingent on prop 33 passing. okay. >> so we have about 30s, but i want to ask you any ideas from the experts you spoke with about how we could implement some rent control without hindering new development. of course, we all want more housing in the state. >> yeah. number one, it it probably isn't a good idea to do it through propositions anymore. it has to be done through the legislature. and looking at building age rather than just one cutoff date is probably the best experts told me. and also, you got to make concessions to

the real estate industry. you got to cut out owner operated units, you know, senior owners, stuff like that. you got to find little tweaks and little carrots for them as well. >> all right. kevin nguyen, thank you so much for your time. >> thanks, kristin. >> you can read kevin's article or check out more of the standard's other original reporting on their website, sf standard.com. abc seven will continue to bring you more segments featuring the standard's city focused journalism every tuesday here on abc seven news at three. some u.s. companies are pulling back from efforts to improve inclusion and diversity in hiring. now, a major retailer is joining that list. that story when
