starts right now. >> san francisco hotel workers are reaching a tentative deal for a new contract. now, after nearly three months on strike. good afternoon, i'm kristen z. we'll have more on the tentative deal in just a moment. but

first, we're following developing news in san francisco. a shelter in place order at san francisco state university due to an anonymous threat. the threat was made just after noon today. all classes, finals and activities at san francisco state were then canceled. the campus is still locked down, with people being told to stay inside. visitors are advised to stay away while the threat is being investigated. san francisco state says the final scheduled for today that were canceled will be rescheduled for next week. a tentative deal reached today between striking hotel workers and a major hotel chain. it impacts 2000 marriott workers and comes in the thick of the holiday travel season. now, this does not end the strike for workers who walked off the job at hilton and hyatt hotels. the tentative deal is for a four year contract that will expire in 2028. it will preserve workers union health insurance, plan increased pay and add new protections against understaffing and workload increases.

>> this is a really important moment for us. what we've seen is the industry really try to take advantage of the pandemic, similar to other crises that have happened in the past, like 2009, you know, economic crisis and 2001, you know, nine over 11, where you see that there are real permanent cuts to staffing and services in the hotels. and we really tried to push back against that because we believe in this city. we want to see business come back here. >> today marks day 89 of the strike. keep in mind union members still have to vote to approve the new contract. voting runs until 6 p.m. tonight. negotiations are still ongoing for hundreds of workers at hyatt and hilton hotels. in a statement, marriott said it was pleased to reach a new labor agreement. amazon workers in san francisco have joined what's being called the largest strike against the online shopping giant. all of this happening at the busiest time of the holiday shopping season. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has the details. >> reporter workers at this san francisco amazon facility

started those chants dark and early thursday morning. >> we want a living wage. we live in one of the most expensive cities in the country. we want to be able to afford to live here. >> they say they also want better benefits, safety protections, and for amazon to recognize the teamsters union and negotiate contracts. amazon said teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated and attempted to coerce amazon employees and third party drivers to join them, which is illegal. workers we spoke with strongly disagreed, saying that amazon has been intimidating them. >> a lot of the workers in there have found that when they wear buttons or vests or hats or anything showing that they support the union, the management doesn't treat them the same way. >> teamsters says it represents nearly 10,000 amazon workers. but in a statement to abc seven, amazon says there aren't 10,000 workers striking. the statement said what you see here are almost entirely outsiders, not amazon employees or partners. and the suggestion otherwise is just another lie from the teamsters. the truth is that they were unable to get enough

support from our employees and partners, and have brought in outsiders to come and harass and intimidate our team, which is inappropriate and dangerous. we appreciate all our team's great work to serve their customers and communities, and are continuing to focus on getting customers their holiday orders. the amazon employees say there are other supporters here, but maintain that there are amazon workers in full force that will stay out 24 hours a day. >> we're going to be fighting until we get what we deserve. >> again, teamsters says it represents 10,000 amazon workers that would be less than 1% of amazon's total u.s. workforce. so right now, amazon is saying it doesn't expect any impact to its operations in san francisco. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> luigi mangione is now back in new york, where he's facing both federal and state charges related to the murder of unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson earlier this month. mangione waived extradition from pennsylvania this morning. here's abc news reporter alexis christoforous with more. >> luigi mangione arriving in

new york city thursday afternoon, brought by helicopter and greeted by federal and local officials, the alleged killer then making his first appearance in federal court, facing four new federal charges, including murder through the use of a firearm. he did not enter a plea. he's expected to be remanded to custody at a federal jail in brooklyn. the federal criminal complaint says mangione traveled from georgia to new york, new york, for the purposes of stalking and killing brian thompson. thompson was the ceo of unitedhealthcare. the complaint contains excerpts from a notebook police say they seized from mangione after his arrest. the handwritten pages express hostility towards the health industry and wealthy executives in particular. according to the complaint, one entry saying the target is insurance because it checks every box. the federal complaint also includes a photo of the nine millimeter pistol and silencer. police say mangione had on him when he was arrested, saying it's consistent with the weapon used to kill thompson.

the 26 year old also faces an 11 count state indictment in new york, which includes a charge of murder in furtherance of terrorism. >> this act of terrorism and the violence that stems from it is something that would not be tolerated in the city. >> earlier in the day, mangione waived extradition to new york during a court appearance in pennsylvania. outside that hearing, spectators gathered some holding signs in support of the alleged killer. others noting the attention the case has brought to problems with the u.s. health care system. >> we have our own reasons to be frustrated, fed up, angry with our government and our health care system. we both needed medical procedures that, you know, we had to fight for that we shouldn't have had to fight for. >> if convicted on the state charges, mangione faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. but the federal murder charge puts a possible death sentence on the table. alexis christoforous, abc news,

new york. >> oakland leaders, business owners and community groups are calling on retiring congresswoman barbara lee to run for mayor. lee delivered her final speech on the house floor on tuesday after a 26 year career in congress. a group of business, government and community leaders released a letter today. they say they believe lee is the person to lead oakland right now, as it navigates a $130 million budget crisis. in the letter, they called lee a seasoned, tested and proven leader who has a track record of delivering for oakland. just yesterday, oakland swore in nikki fortunato bass as its new interim mayor. she replaced chantelle, who was recalled. bass will serve only for three weeks until she starts her new position on the alameda county board of supervisors. the city council will then have to appoint another interim mayor. voters will pick a permanent replacement to serve the remainder of tao's term in an april special election. developing news in washington, d.c. lawmakers on capitol hill are scrambling to reach a deal

on government funding to avoid a shutdown. if the government shuts down, millions of federal workers will be furloughed or asked to work without pay just days before christmas. abc news reporter perry russom has the details. >> today, president elect trump taking credit for killing the bipartisan government funding bill. trump telling abc news there will be a government shutdown unless congress eliminates or raises the debt ceiling. that's the limit on the amount of money the government can borrow to pay its debts, trump says if the debt ceiling is hit and the government can no longer pay its bills, he's concerned it could lead to an economic depression. the current debt ceiling is expected to be hit in the first few months of trump's second term. trump says he wants to take care of this while president biden is in office. >> the ultimate goal is to get a bill that addresses our immediate needs, but also sets president trump up for success when he comes into office. >> lawmakers scrambling on capitol hill today to reach a deal before funding expires tomorrow night.

>> we're making progress and things are going well. >> the now dead funding bill was supported by both republicans and democrats. trump says it had too much spending. it included $100 billion for disaster relief and billions more for farmers. trump says he doesn't mind the spending for farmers and disaster relief, but that's all. a shutdown would affect millions of federal employees with peak holiday travel. tsa agents and air traffic controllers would have to work without pay. >> the ability of everyday americans to visit their family, their friends, their loved ones will be impacted. >> this tipping point of a government shutdown, starting with elon musk, one of trump's most influential and vocal allies. musk calling a government shutdown infinitely better than passing a horrible bill, saying any lawmaker who supports the bill deserves to be voted out. >> we had a deal. we negotiated a deal, and then musk decided to change the deal. so do i call him president musk?

>> lawmakers have until tomorrow night to get a deal done before there is a shutdown. funding expires at midnight saturday morning. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> it's a beautiful day for getting outside and doing some holiday shopping, but things will soon change with more rain on the way. here's abc seven meteorologist drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. >> here's live doppler seven along with satellite. what you're tracking is there is a front off the coast. all of this moisture is headed to the north, so we're not going to see any rain today or tomorrow. but there's another storm brewing. this one right here. you can see it's getting its act together. this will arrive here on saturday and bring us some light showers first thing in the morning. but today we are dry. some hazy sunshine out there. temperatures really pleasant. 61 in the city. we'll go to 63 in oakland, about 69 in san jose, so close to 70 in the south bay, 66 in santa rosa, a cooler 59 in concord. thanks to that cloud cover right now, overnight tonight. lows in the 40s. again, some patchy fog through the carquinez strait and parts of

the north bay. but for the most part, it's a mix of stars and clouds as we head into friday. future weather. you'll notice friday is a lot cloudier than today. mostly cloudy to finish the week we're dry. here's friday night at 930. no threat of any rain for your evening plans. it's into the early morning hours of saturday. we find some light rain first in the north bay. some of those scattered showers making their presence known around the bay shoreline closer to 10 a.m. and then that's about it. this thing is pushing off to the east and the rest of saturday afternoon and saturday evening is really dry. so rainfall totals with this next round of showers really light, we're thinking less than a quarter of an inch for most areas, even lower as you head south and east. some areas north of santa rosa lake and mendocino county could pick up a half an inch of rain as we head throughout the morning. now, next week we're talking monday and tuesday. we'll see significant rainfall to our north, talking several inches with more showers here locally over the next seven days. we're talking about an inch for a lot

of us, maybe 2 to 3in in the north bay. and when it comes to fresh snow, probably 1 to 2ft of snow coming our way the next seven days. so take a look at the holiday, christmas eve especially. a lot of folks may be traveling. it's going to be wet and it's going to be windy throughout the day on tuesday. the payoff, though, is wednesday. christmas day looks lovely. we're dry for the holiday with a mix of sun and clouds. it looks nice for hanukkah as it begins at sundown on wednesday. dry skies a cool evening with temperatures mainly in the 50s. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast next seven days for you, showing you it's mostly sunny today. mostly cloudy tomorrow. winter returns here as we change seasons on saturday. rain is back as well in the morning. some evening showers on sunday, then more wet weather monday into christmas eve on tuesday for drought for the holidays on wednesday in the new year. >> the supreme court is set to hear arguments in tiktok's effort to block a federal ban on the social media platform. we'll talk with the founder of san francisco based cybersecurity

platform bugcrowd about what's li

in the u.s. are on pins and needles, wondering if they'll lose access to the addictive app in the new year. on january 10th, the supreme court will hear arguments over tiktok's effort to block a federal ban on the platform if it's not sold off by its chinese owner. the decision would have huge implications for first amendment rights, national security and the economy. joining us live now to talk about what's likely to happen and why we should all pay close attention. casey ellis, founder of the san francisco based cybersecurity platform bugcrowd. hey, casey, thanks for joining us today. >> thanks for having me, kristen. >> just help us put this in

context. how important is tiktok today? why are we talking about it like culturally and economically speaking? >> yeah. as as an application that's used by, you know, the population of the us is, is 338 million people as of checking just before coming on here. so, you know, that's literally half the population that are using this application, i think from from a cultural standpoint and from a usage standpoint, it's obviously very important to everyone who is a user of the app. but then from a national security, you know, potential foreign influence, perspective, all of those different things that kind of instantiated the ban and created the concerns in the first place. it's important for the same reasons. >> right. so the clock is now ticking, right. the supreme court is hearing this on january 10th, but talk of banning tiktok date all the way back to the first trump administration. ultimately, it was earlier this year congress passed the law to ban the app if it's not sold off, and it was signed by president biden. explain to us simply why this app is tied to national security concerns. >> yeah, there's a there's a couple of a couple of key

issues. i think the one, you know, thinking about data and the ability for, for a, you know, an application that's got such incredible coverage of the us population to be, you know, basically ostensibly under the influence of, of a government that's becoming increasingly competitive and increasingly hostile. i think that's just a general concern that's been brewing for quite some time. and it applies to other kind of major vendors out of china. in the case of tiktok, you know, the idea of basically being able to understand, you know, patterns of behavior. for example, in the american people, like we've seen just recently, the idea of the us secret service being outed by a fitness app or, you know, you hear stories of people deployed on frontlines being discovered and outed through social media. it's not just about, you know, hacking into a phone. i think that's actually not really the issue here. it's more about the overall view that it gives the company and obviously who can potentially access that. on the other side, it's really about

the fact that this is a this is a broad scale, you know, media platform that's designed to be addictive. it's designed to be incredibly engaging for western users. and, you know, again, if you've got the ability to basically, you know, influence the, the thinking and the behavior of a population, half of the population at the drop of a hat, that's, that's, i think, in and of itself a national security consideration, if not like a concern. >> let's talk about what tiktok is trying to stand on here. one, they're saying that concern is overblown. we're not going to share our data and just turn it over to the chinese government just because the owner is chinese. and two, this would be totally against the first amendment. how strong is that argument? address these two points, please. >> yeah, absolutely. in terms of turning the data over like it is domiciled now within the us. and the ceo of tiktok has come out and gone out and asserted that in terms of the actual user data of the application itself, i think there is it's less a concern about there being direct

evidence of tiktok doing surveillance and more the fact that there is historical evidence of china using, you know, data sets like this to do surveillance and the fact that it's like the main data sets are kept within the us doesn't exclude them from doing analysis on behalf of a foreign government, for example. so there is there is some cold comfort in that one. but i wouldn't say that that's necessarily a kind of a kill shot defense on on that side of things in terms of first amendment. that's going to get really interesting. i think just in general, the fact that it's gone to the supreme court at this point means that it's going to set a scotus precedent for future versions of this type, of this type of ban or this type of case. and i think, you know, in general, as we are transitioning into a period where there is, you know, increasing international tension and, you know, international relations, multinational relationships, all those different things get more and more tense. i think the way that this is set up is going to really put the first amendment

up against some of the considerations that need to be made in a more hostile global environment. so obviously, the first amendment that's, you know, in the constitution, it's core and it's not to be not to be trifled with. but what this really does is puts it on, you know, the front, front and center, front and center stage in terms of like, what kind of compromises or what kind of approaches do we need to make around that? you know, considering some of the some of the pressure that, you know, the us is experiencing from from foreign nations? >> obviously a number of things could happen here. but what scenario do you think is most likely? >> i personally think that it will be paused just because, well, they've obviously applied for a pause. it'll be interesting to see how the supreme court actually do this. there hasn't been a whole lot of conversation around actual progress, you know, of a sale of tiktok to some other entity. you know, you talk about tech companies might want to buy them. you know, media companies

might want to buy them private equity, so on and so forth. so there isn't really a lot of conversation happening around progress in that particular area. so they do it does feel a little bit like a game of chicken that's being played with the daetz coming up here, and ultimately it's going to rest very heavily on the supreme court to make a decision on this first amendment side of things, as well as whether or not you know, how they're going to integrate kind of the call it the intelligence information that they're getting from from folks that have a more kind of direct line as to how this stuff may already being used from from a, you know, population manipulation standpoint. so i do think that there's going to at least be more time granted whether or not it gets fully overturned. i can't necessarily see that happening. but, you know, it's this is a whole bunch of very fresh case law happening in a very, you know, unusual season, in a very dynamic season in american politics right across the board. so, you know, i don't want to say it depends, but it does depend. >> all right. casey ellis, founder of bugcrowd, thank you
