now abc seven mornings live now at six a plea for pardons following a major legal victory against the now closed women's federal prison in dublin, plus the recent tsunami warning tested our response times. >> what experts say you need to do in case it happens again. and the golden state valkyrie is filling up its roster. we're hearing from the gm ahead of their inaugural season. good morning everybody. it's saturda, december 7th and there's a bit of a bite in the air out there. >> yes back to the 30s is certainly cold out there with the clear sky. and we'll be looking at a few more high clouds visiting us from this system here to the north,

keeping the rain to the north, but enough high clouds to bring us partly cloudy conditions later on today and slightly cooler afternoon. highs 36 in danville, bur 39 in livermore with 48 at sfo. and up in the north bay. you can see the 30s from novato to santa rosa. vallejo. good morning. it's 44 air quality moderate for most of us. and eventually we're going to get into that good category. but as we go through the day today, we'll call it partly cloudy 60 at the coast, the bay shore low to maybe some mid 60s. and then about the same for our inland valleys. so temperatures definitely being trimmed off. today. we were 75, in redwood city yesterday. so we'll talk about the cool down the clouds and the potential for rain in a few minutes. steph. >> all right liz, thank you. developing overnight, two people were sent to the hospital after a fire broke out in martinez. according to fire officials, crews pulled one man and a dog out of a burning home. a woman managed to escape the flames on her own. the dog died on scene. the man's condition is not known

this morning. but we do know the fire started around 740 last night on arthur road. the cause is under investigation. new developments in the now shuttered fci dublin women's prison. attorneys for former inmates have now reached a tentative settlement with the federal bureau of prisons. it includes public acknowledgment of staff sexual abuse at that facility. abc seven news reporter tara campbell talks to one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. >> a legal victory friday for hundreds of women formerly held at the federal correctional institute in dublin, the now shuttered prison has been under scrutiny for the past few years after allegations of sexual abuse. at least eight fci dublin employees have been charged with abusing inmates, five of them pleading guilty and two of them, including the warden convicted at trial. >> one of the things we wanted to do was to be heard, like you said, and we didn't give up. >> griselda nunez is one of the 500 named plaintiffs in a class

action lawsuit filed last year by a nonprofit. >> we definitely raised our voices even higher with attorneys behind us and organizations knowing that somebody did want to hear us and did want to help us. >> plaintiffs attorneys announcing a settlement with the federal bureau of prisons. >> we are really excited about this really historic consent decree that was issued between our class members and the bop. it is, you know, the first of its kind to have some sort monitoring across over a dozen bop facilities as part of the settlement, the bureau of prisons will be required for two years to oversee the treatment of the women transferred from fci dublin to prisons across the country. >> today is a day of accountability. >> former bay area congresswoman jackie speier was one of the first lawmakers to visit the prison amid the abuse allegations. >> it was a horrible culture. they knew where the cameras were

not located, so that's where they engaged in the various rapes. the chaplain was raping these inmates in his uh- area because there were no cameras in there. >> the settlement also requires the bureau of prisons to release eligible plaintiffs to home confinement and halfway houses as soon as possible. the bureau must also expunge disciplinary reports by dublin staff, intended to silence the women, reports that could otherwise prevent early release. but former inmates say the fight isn't over. they want their voices heard by the president. >> we all feel if biden can, you know, pardon his son, he sure can pardon these women that have suffered heinous abuse at the result of government employees. so super you know, that's really their only way to get relief right now. >> tara campbell, abc seven news.

>> the bureau of prisons confirmed the details of the settlement in a statement, and addressed the announcement that the now empty dublin facility would permanently close. it wrote while that settlement was filed with the district court, fillled rather the decision to permanently close the federal correctional institution, fci dublin is not a result of the agreement. the bureau cites failing infrastructure and inability to staff the prison as reasons for the closure. san mateo county has made a substantial offer for sheriff christina corpus to walk away from her job. the county offered $1 million in four years of medical coverage. that's what sources close to the negotiation tell the i-team's dan noyes. we also learned when the sheriff and her lawyer rejected that offer, the county indicated they would offer more money. one of the county's attorneys told the i-team he would not confirm what are supposed to be confidential conversations between counsel when reached sheriff corpus would not comment on the report.

earlier this week, the san mateo county board of supervisors voted to hold a special election in march on a measure that would allow the supervisors to fire corpus. it comes after an independent report accused the sheriff of misconduct and corruption. a man and woman convicted for the murder of a bay area photographer have been sentenced to life in prison without parole. fantasy decker and lamonte mims were convicted on murder and other charges last month in a retrial. 71 year old ed french was killed during a robbery in 2017 over a struggle with his camera bag at the twin peaks lookout area. the duo was identified and found later that month after robbing tourists at gunpoint up north. now we're getting a closer look at the damage after that 7.0 quake shook the coast like this large crack, which opened up on blue side road in rio del. the cleanup continues this morning. now the epicenter was off the

coast and certainly felt here on land. it was the largest quake to hit northern california in decades. businesses are left to pick up the mess here at hobbies market in scotia, employees were told to evacuate when the rocking started. >> my boss came through and she was like, everybody outside, everybody outside. so i'm literally like tiptoeing, trying to walk this way because the floor is going up and down. >> shaking was felt all the way down to santa cruz. that employee says about 30% of all grocery stock was destroyed. the dollar general store in rio dell is closed until further notice, with items still scattered. all over the floor. now, the tsunami warning, which of course resulted from the earthquake, came across as an alert on most cell phones. we then saw a long line of cars in pacifica as people rushed to evacuate. people even sought higher ground here in san francisco. so how

far do you have to be from the coast to be safe? abc seven news reporter luz pena went looking for answers. >> it was a warning that tested response time, urgency and evacuation plans across the bay area. the tsunami warning left many wondering, do you know what to do next time? >> all cities around the water line in the bay area may potentially be affected. >> we rounded up san francisco's executive director of the department of emergency management, a first responder and a scientist to explain, this is a good kind of trial run for what would happen if we got, let's say, a magnitude eight earthquake up there. >> then the whole northern california coast would really be in play, including the bay area, although because of the golden gate, the waves that would come through would be pointed more or less toward emeryville. >> the california geological survey created a map of places across the state that are in the greatest risk of a tsunami impact in the bay area. areas in

green are not likely to be impacted. everything in yellow is at higher risk, with multiple places in san francisco along the water. when we zoom in into the bay, almost the entire island of alameda, parts of west oakland and richmond, along with low lying areas in san rafael and larkspur, could see flooding. here's what you should do if you are near water. >> if you live by the coast or you live by the water, you get this alert. you're not sure or you hear it is real. we really recommend people just taking a walk if you can, to just get a little bit to higher ground, not to evacuate your whole house or anything, but to move farther away from the area of danger, moving to higher ground could simply be going up to a higher floor inside a building. >> in the 2011 tsunami, there was a middle school 3 or 4 stories high. everybody was evacuated to the roof. the bottom two stories were destroyed. everybody came out

fine. >> after getting this alert, many people opted to drive out of the city. this scientist doesn't recommend that approach. >> you need to get ten feet up. you're much better off just to do it by walking or running, not getting in your car and running the risk that you'll be trapped in a traffic jam, as occurred in the 2011 tsunami in japan. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> now a mountain view company is working on technology that could detect major weather events faster. loooooong space is an aerospace startup in mountain view, utilizing weather satellites to develop life saving applications. in may, loooooong space and earth fire alliance announced the ai driven fire stat system, so it's designed for wildfire detection among other weather related events. and the satellite analyzes images fast, and then it can track a fire's intensity. >> think about these as it's a it's a large constellation. eventually 52 satellites of that

have these cameras. they're basically thermal cameras on them. you can think about them as like seeing, you know, heat signatures on earth. >> the company is now looking into how they can use this same technology to predict and track other weather events. their hope is to make warnings like the ones we received on our phones, more targeted and specific. we stayed on air for hours to cover the tsunami warning and the impacts across the bay area. when breaking news happens, you'll find us here on tv on abc7 news dot com, as well as the abc7 bay area app. wherever you stream. how's it looking out there, elise? >> well, you know what? we still have that inversion. meaning it's warmer in the upper elevations, 55 degrees here on top of mount tam compared to those 30s below. so with that lid on the atmosphere, some more haze. but we are looking at temperatures cooling off today. gorgeous view out there. that sun is officially up. not for

another hour. 712 so we'll talk about how warm it's going to get and the look for a more wintry week ahead coming up. >> lisa thank you. also ahead, two boys hurt in a recent school shooting remain in critical condition this morning. the show of support across northern california. and why a proposal could mean fewer fire crews in the east bay. we'll

downtown oroville at a prayer vigil for school shooting victims. five year old elias wolford and six year old roman menendez have been in critical condition since the shooting. it happened at feather river adventist school near palmero wednesday. the northern california community has been coming together, showing support for the victims families and

each other. >> for me, it's because my girls here are future teachers and it's scary just to show community support for these two little boys that are fighting >> just wanted to be a part of the community to let them know that we're out here supporting them. >> it's all experience. >> the 56 year old gunman, who gained entry to the campus by pretending to enroll a grandson, took his own life at the scene. police believe he targeted the school for its religious affiliation to the seventh day adventist church, but there appears to be no direct connection to the school or the boys. most of the charges were dismissed for the 26 people arrested for protesting on the golden gate bridge back in april. a san francisco judge has so far dropped 32 of the 44 charges against the pro-palestinian activists. efforts continue to get the entire case dismissed. >> one person has been dismissed outright from the case for lack of evidence, meaning they should

have never been arrested in the first place. and the charges the, you know, 40 or so charges were originally filed are now down to about ten, and we expect those to drop be dropped even further in the coming weeks. and we're going to continue fighting this case. but also we want the focus to be on the genocide in gaza and arguing for pushing for a cease fire. there. >> the judge signaled openness to reducing felony charges against eight protesters to misdemeanors. the existing misdemeanor group will be in court next week, and more will be decided at the next hearing on january 6th. we'll be following closely. a list of cuts to help oakland balance its budget have been announced. the report was released by the town's city administrator. the city faces a $129 million budget deficit. the first phase requires immediate action. the city will rely on $38.5 million to the general fund. it also includes a brownout of fire

companies, which means fewer fire crews at certain stations. the second phase includes a proposal to lay off over 90 employees from across all city departments. however, those will not be immediate. >> person wise. we lose about 4 to 5 officers a month due to retirement or going to a different department. if you add that up over a year, that equates to about 60 officers. >> the report now goes to the city council for a special budget meeting on monday. all right. the bay area's newest professional team is filling out its roster. the golden state valkyries picked up 11 new players during yesterday's expansion draft. the roster was introduced by professional golfer michelle wie, west sports analyst baron davis and rapper e-40. the valkyries front office spent weeks studying the pool of 70 eligible playerso choose who would make the cut. general manager ohemaa nyandeni discussed the challenges of

starting a brand new team. >> i was so excited about the blank canvas and then behind closed doors it was blank, so nobody's like name. just like appeared or anything. so there was a lot of work that myself and my team put into it, and the complexities around it is what i want to continue to highlight. >> the valkyries will play at chase center, home of the warriors, and they'll make their debut may 16th against the l.a. sparks. well, rudolph the red-nosed reindeer will light the way for caltrain's annual holiday train starting today. you can't ride the special train, but you can see it at select caltrain stations. this weekend. >> we're going to roll up show up with santa rudolph and a whole bunch of costumed characters. we have a choir on board singing carols and just and this beautiful train with a whole lot of lights behind it. the holiday train departs at 4:00 from san francisco, and

today it will stop in san mateo, redwood city, mountain view, and santa clara. >> tomorrow. the stops are millbrae, burlingame, menlo park, and sunnyvale. now, if that doesn't get you into the holiday spirit, i don't know what will. at least that is so cute to see all the holiday lights and decor across the city. >> yeah for sure. it's fun, fun time of year and we got our tree. did you get your tree? >> yes. it's all set up, lights and all. yeah, but, you know, thanksgiving being so late this year, it really it felt like it pushed everything. >> yeah. makes the house smell good, though. okay. good morning everyone. we are looking at another dry day out there. air quality is going to improve somewhat. and you can see in the pacific northwest there is some rain. we'll get some high clouds sliding to the south. but the rain not going to happen today. tomorrow, monday. we are watching though for this system to drop off to the south and east of us, potentially picking up our offshore flow. that's the first thing that will change as we look outside right now. another view from mount tam.

we'll see a sunnier sunday and then the rain chances increasing throughout the workweek. still a lot of discrepancies in the forecast models, so not quite sure if we're going to get into that accumulated rain by week's end. here's a look at the high clouds. partly cloudy for the rest of us into your sunday morning. the clouds continue to diminish and so we'll get into that sunshine and temperatures. another five degrees above average. like we will be today in parts of the bay. so overall temperatures will be on the milder side with the mid 60s today in oakland. look for 65. in fremont yesterday we saw that 75 in redwood city. so those light winds today and the high clouds still mild but not as mild in san francisco, had a record at 6763 today. mid 60s up in santa rosa, about 70, in morgan hill. more sun to the south. and looking at our accuweather seven day forecast. a few clouds for your saturday into sunday. more sun. and then as we get into potentially that

will take place in march 2025, in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> a new clinical study being done at ucsf could change the way doctors treat patients with traumatic brain injuries. doctor jeff manley is leading a revolutionary clinical study out of ucsf looking specifically at new drug treatments for people who suffer from tbis or traumatic brain injuries. some in the medical field believe scientific research around tbis has gone underfunded and understudied. now, doctor manley's work is hoping this new trial will change that and finally give people real solutions. >> there's about 4.8 million people a year that seek care for traumatic brain injury. and yet we have no specific drug treatments for this injury. >> doctor manley's trial will enroll a total of 672 participants over the next four years. still ahead this morning, honoring espn anchor stuart scott, the message from his

young and so i understood why this legacy was important, why this award was important in hopes it impacts all of us a little less. >> tamara scott, abc news. >> stuart scott once said, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live. a powerful message. all right, lisa, how's it looking out there? >> well, we're getting to see the beautiful start of a new day here. and as we look outside, it looks nice and clear. but there's fog in parts of the bay, and we'll be visited by some high clouds and won't be as warm. so we'll talk all about that. and look ahead, which could

weaken high pressure eventually once this system slides to the south and east of us, we'll get into some wind. a weakening ridge of high pressure potentially opening the storm door for some weather systems by the middle to the end of next week. so we'll see how that happens if it happens. still a lot of discrepancies in the forecast models and kind of an overexposed view here. a weird looking shot, right? 51 san francisco. it is 47 in hayward with upper 40s at the coast. there is fog and 46 here in santa cruz, but the fog is in the north bay, also out by the delta. 36 petaluma. it is 38, in fairfield, about 60 for today on the coast. cooler. closer to home. half moon bay. pacifica will be at about 60 degrees. there's a look at the visibility. you can see novato down to nothing right now. a little over a mile and a quarter. santa rosa. napa has improved as well as vacaville, so we are looking at some nice conditions out there. once

again, if you like it dry, want to put up the holiday decorations? get your tree. we just have a few high clouds visiting us. cooler conditions, a record tide yesterday in the city at 67 it was 75, in redwood city. more sun for your sunday and monday and then rain chances look like they want to increase by the end of the workweek. here's a look at some of that high cloud cover as that system moves to the north of us, dragging the clouds behind it. then they will diminish and thin out into sunday, and we'll look at temperatures once again, about five degrees above averag, taking you into monday morning. and we've got clear conditions today in the south bay. look for about 70 in morgan hill, mid 60s milpitas on the peninsula here mid 60s from palo alto to millbrae downtown 63. good. 3 to 4 degrees cooler up in the north bay looking at temperatures ranging from the low 60s in sonoma, a little thicker, high cloud activity here. so perhaps 65 calistoga onto the bay shore

here. mild, partly cloudy with 66 in union city. so a nice afternoon here. a little variation in the temperatures. air quality on the moderate side a little bit better as we get into the next couple of days in the storm system. slides to the south and east of us, but the winds are going to kick up 64 in concord with 67 in livermore. so the accuweather seven day forecast featuring a little bit of cloud cover today, sunnier tomorrow. as we get into late tomorrow into monday, those offshore winds in the north and east bay could be an issue. highest elevations and by the middle of the week, we are thickening the clouds and hopefully looking at the arrival of some rain come the end of the workweek. so we'll keep you posted on that, stephanie. all right. >> thanks, lisa. to sports. now the golden state valkyrie's roster is taking shape. the head coach tells us what she's looking for when selecting players. abc seven sports director larry beil has more on that. plus the warriors matchup

from last night. >> good morning everybody. tough task for the warriors. they beat the rockets thursday night trying to make it two in a row a difficult back to back hosting minnesota. steph curry and draymond green back for this game. nursing injuries. green came off the bench. and that might be his role for a while steve kerr said after the game. the hoop and the foul. draymond ten points, nine boards and six assists into the first quarter. draymond to steph. crazy bank shot here. curry goes for 23 points. it was tied at 31 after one quarter. but the second quarter was all timberwolves. anthony edwards you can't leave him wide open like this. splash. only a 15 point second quarter for golden state the ant-man. you know he loves to talk and you know he loves to shoot. he had 30. pump fake and pull up j. the dubs had a season high 22 turnovers and lose 107 90. the golden state, valkyrie's newest franchise in the wnba, will play at chase center next summer. acquired their first players yesterday in an expansion draft. now they could take one player

from each of the other 12 teams in the league. the valkyries picked 11 seven from outside the u.s. valkyrie's head coach, natalie nakase, was a guest last night on after the draft with me and explained what they were looking for, selecting these players specifically. >> i actually have three non-negotiables that i actually look for in players. number one, they have to be ultra competitive, and i've been saying that like, you have to love to win and you have to hate to lose, and you have to feel that loss. that's important. and then secondly, you have to have you have to have high character. so you got to sacrifice for the greater good of the team at all times. and then the third is you have to have a never satisfied mindset. so i want players to play like their life depended on it. >> the niners are on a three game losing streak heading into sunday's game at levi's against the reeling bears, and after stumbling in the snow in buffalo, brock purdy knows if the 40 niners have a chance to make the playoffs. they got to start taking care of business and that means getting back in the win column. >> for me, it hasn't been a woe is me. it's i'm like, dude,

that's the nfl. that's that's life. and that's the challenge in front of us. and what are we going to do about it. you know so it's more of, you know, as motivation for me and, and you know, how am i going to answer, you know, this kind of stuff? and how am i going to be there for my team when things aren't always perfect? you know, this is, i think, really where you see people for who they are. >> it is conference championship weekend in college football. boise state trying to clinch a spot in the new 12 team playoff and heisman trophy candidate ashton genti is a bad man. 75 yard touchdown to help put this game out of reach. he runs for 209 yards and the score the broncos beat unlv, 21 seven, in the mountain west title game, and they are guaranteed to make the playoffs. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody. i'm larry beil. >> thanks, larry. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available via apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv and roku. you can download it now and start streaming. we'll be right back.
