today, so mid and upper 60s under full sunshine. we'll talk about that weekend system that will likely bring some rain to southern california. likely windy here on saturday. we'll show you that eight minutes. let's check in with gloria swease drive times. >> good morning to you, drew. good morning to everybody at home. so of course it is early. so we're seeing mostly clear roads right now. this is our map of the roads here in the bay area. a lot of green which means traffic is flowing. we do have that usual slowdown in the altamont pass where you see the red there. so let's get a look at those de times for right now. tracy to dublin 36 minutes san rafael to san francisco 16 minutes. antioch to concord 14 minutes. and we're getting a live look at the golden gate bridge. and you could see that there are still some crews out there. there's some road work that was being done there. this was going northbound on 101 into the north bay, but that should be clearing up soon. that will not impact your morning commute. amanda. >> happening today, president trump is ordering all federal employees and diversity, equity and inclusion roles to be placed on paid leave by tonight.

>> and this is according to a memo issued yesterday to the heads of departments and agencies. they've also been ordered to remove dei websites and cancel all training related to the initiative. white house press secretary caroline leavitt provided this statement to abc news. president trump campaigned on ending the scourge of dei from our federal government and returning america to a merit based society where people are hired based on their skills, not for the color of their skin. this is another win for americans of all races, religions and creeds. promises made, promises kept. >> tomorrow, president trump's executive order on birthright citizenship will face its first legal test in seattle. a ninth court a ninth circuit judge will hear a request made by four states for a temporary restraining order against his directive. birthright citizenship means baby is born in the u.s. are citizens, regardless of their parents immigration status. >> we think we have good grounds. but you could be right. i mean, you'll find out. it's ridiculous. we're

the only country in the world that does this with birthright. as you know. >> that's not true. there are more than two dozen countries that have birthright citizenship. this flurry of activity has sent shock waves and stirred fear through immigrant communities. abc seven news reporter lena howland joins us now. and, lena, you're looking at how people are responding. >> reggie. that's right. we've seen anxiety escalate through the last few months. and now you can see this fear. many we talked to last night described being afraid of getting deported. faith brought people from different religions together. tuesday in santa clara county, a community prayer vigil was held in san jose to show support for immigrant families uncertain of their future. one of president trump's first executive orders, issued on monday, aims to limit birthright citizenship despite being protected under the 14th amendment in the constitution for the past 150 years. while it's not clear how trump could

even do this, the new order would mean children need at least one parent with u.s. citizenship to be a lawful permanent resident. one immigration lawyer we talked to said he thinks trump's attempt to block birthright citizenship will not make it far in the courts. >> i believe that this is just more of a hey, i'm able to fulfill my promise to the american public. i said i would do this, and i tried to do it, and i was blocked by the courts or whatever. >> the executive order would impact children born on or before, on or after february 19th of this year. santa clara county sent us this statement in part saying the county is deeply invested in caring for all children born in its health system, and this executive order would undermine the security of many parents seeking vital health care. to be clear, the county's health system is not doing anything different based on this executive order and san mateo county releasing a similar statement to us saying they remain committed to all babies born in our county and theires

parents. their values and actions have not changed based on this executive order. live in studio lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, lena, thank you. and president trump has also announced a new investment worth up to $500 million to help advance artificial intelligence. the leaders of san francisco based open ai santa clara founded oracle, and softbank joined him at the white house yesterday. the three companies are partnering to build new data centers as part of the project called stargate. oracle chairman larry ellison says the construction is already underway. >> the first of them are under construction in texas. each building is a half 1,000,000ft■. there are ten buildings currently, you know, currently being built, but that will expand to 20 and other locations beyond the abilene location, which is which is our first location. >> for months, ai leaders have been warning more data centers, chips and resources that run them are needed in order to advance the technology. other partners in the project include bay area chip makers arm and

nvidia. plenty of new changes as the new trump administration takes shape. we're keeping track of the first 100 days, and you can too, at abc seven news.com and on the abc seven bay area app. >> this morning, santa clara county will conduct its 2025 point in time count. and this year, the county is changing how it documents the homeless population. county officials say under this new approach, volunteers will conduct surveys of homeless people while they are counting them. previously, surveys were done separately weeks later. some worry the time surveys take will lead to fewer people being counted this year. but officials say the count and survey answers combined will best inform resource programs. >> in some cases. uh- for state and federal programs, the number of people experiencing homelessness, as collected through the point in time count, is part of a formula that they use to allocate resources. >> santa clara county's most recent point in time count was in 2023. it found more than 9900

homeless people. >> a local state of emergency has been approved following the fire at the moss landing power plant. the fire started last thursday at a battery storage facility and burned well into friday. it led people. it led to people being ordered to either stay inside or, in some cases, evacuate. officials say fire crews are still on site to monitor the fire area and ensure safety of inspection crews, and conduct drone surveillance as needed. the cause of the fire remains under investigation. community members in monterey county are continuing to express their concern over the air and potential health impacts. this is not the first fire at the plant. the board of supervisors held a hearing yesterday where residents demanded answers. >> i'm very skeptical that there's zero contaminants. >> the disconnect between what was being said on television from officials and what was being said on social media from the real people experiencing it, is a is a large disconnect. >> residents are especially concerned about the smoke.

environmental and health officials report there is no toxic threat, but some say that isn't true. >> you say that we didn't have these chemicals and that it's wood smoke and whatnot. but on friday, when i was out, the chemicals that i smelled left a metallic taste in my mouth. >> they have been and continue to pick up wood smoke throughout the region. >> officials say only small pockets of heat are still being observed at the site. >> happening now in southern california, the clay fire has burned about 40 acres since it started around five last night. it is now 40% contained. crews were able to stop forward progress around 9 p.m, and evacuations were lifted before midnight. we don't have a cause of that fire. it has been two weeks since the devastating wildfire started in los angeles county. president trump is planning to travel to la on friday as the area now faces a new threat. gloria is at the live desk with the concern from residents and officials.

>> yes, reggie. rain is on the way this weekend. and the eaton fire burn zones. and that's posing new challenges for the community. now in recovery, the rain could cause landslides. la mayor karen bass issued an executive order directing pc works crews to clear debris and remove vegetation to shore up potentially vulnerable hillsides. a cal fire team from northern california spent the day filling sandbags to help residents prepare. some 15,000 sandbags are on the way to homes in the hills for altadena and pasadena. even a small amount of rain could send mud and debris flowing. >> definitely a concern. all the vegetation has been burned away, so there's nothing there really, to hold the soil from sloughing away with the. if we do have heavy rains coming in the future. >> with the sunshine the next few days, let's get these sandbags picked up and brought to the homes that need them. >> this comes as more than 250,000 residents are bracing for a possible power shutoffs

amid another round of santa ana winds. calmer conditions over the weekend allowed firefighters to reach 89% containment on the eaton fire and 65% containment on the palisades fire. >> reggie thanks, gloria to help the wildfire recovery efforts scan the qr code tht you see on your screen that will take you to a list of verified and vetted organizations helping survivors. >> 511 will take you outside a live look at san jose. it is clear it is cold. we have cold air alerts in effect, freeze warnings and frost advisories. again, 39 degrees right now and temperatures are still falling over the next couple of hours. so it is cold out there. we have frost on our windshields on our cars this morning. you may need a few extra minutes to warm your car up before you get going this morning. here's a look at the day planner. today. we have those cold air alerts early on. sunrise today is at 720, but it's going to be a warm afternoon. some areas flirting with 70 degrees like san jose and santa rosa could go into the low 70s today. regardless, we're all going into the 60s today, so we are above average for

this time of the year. the reason why a ridge of high pressure is overhead today and tomorrow. but over the weekend, low pressure dives in from the east and that will bring us some gusty winds here locally, and the chance of some wet weather across southern california. it looks like we remain dry here over the weekend, but southern california could pick up a quarter to a half of an inch of rain saturday night through sunday. reggie. >> thanks, drew. a fight for the future of tiktok. coming up. the popular influencer now trying to buy the app. >> bloomingdale's is going to close its san francisco store. another blow to the downtown area with the city's new mayor has to say. >> it will soon cost you more to log on to netflix. the price increase coming as the streaming service prepares dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee.

about a deadly weekend crash in san francisco. seven cars got smashed up, including an unoccupied waymo driverless vehicle. >> so the crash killed a man and his dog. abc seven news anchor dion lim spoke with that man's girlfriend, who was in the car,

and she's still in the hospital this morning. >> i don't understand why it happened the way it did. and i don't know how i how i'm how i'm alive. and i honestly just want to trade places with him. he had such a purpose on this world. >> zooming from her hospital bed, lin liu still can't believe how her world came crashing down. sunday night. she and her dog keepers and boyfriend, 28 year old misha romanenko, were on their way to pick up her grandma and aunt to go to the airport when tragedy struck. >> other than remembering looking over at him and saying i love you and him saying i love you too, back to me. it was just one moment after that. the next moment i was being wheeled into different rooms. >> just after 6 p.m, officers responded to the area of sixth and harrison, where a black tesla had plowed into seven cars, including a waymo. waymo says its records show the tesla was traveling at 98 miles an

hour. it was all a blur to lu. >> i do have like a little flashback of when i was in the car where i saw that he was like, just motionless, and i was just like, oh my god, misha! >> sfpd officers arrested 66 year old jialing zhang, who was booked on vehicular manslaughter. i obtained this police report which indicates zhang did not give off an odor of alcohol after he was arrested, nor did he have any alcohol in his system. after a screening was done several hours later, he told investigators that he kept stepping on the brakes of his car, but the vehicle did not slow down, nor did it stop. as lu recovers from several broken bones, she wonders about the safety of the intersection. >> i really want to know what exactly happened. the way that sixth street exits. you can go as fast as you want until you hit that stoplight. >> lu wants the world to remember romanenko for his positive spirit and willingness to help others. >> it was just so much joy being around him. and anyone who's crossed paths with him, who's

had him in his life and in their life, they would definitely have a story or two, or maybe a handful of stories about how he had made them laugh, how he put a smile on their face. >> she asks for their tragedy to serve as this reminder not to take life for granted. >> after losing everything and everyone, the love of my life, just please hug your loved ones. tell them you love them. >> in san francisco, dion lim, abc seven news. >> and that is just so terrible. i feel so bad for her. okay, we're going to move on now and talk about bloomingdale's and how it is going. bye bye. at the san francisco center. the massive department store closing in march and the struggling mall is losing its last anchor tenant. the reason is the same one that we've gotten from all the other stores. they're blaming the shifting retail landscape. in a statement to abc seven news, the company said it hopes to return to the city in a new way. don't know what that means? news of the departure is a major is majorly upsetting to

people who shop there. >> i love bloomingdale's, i'm going to be sad because i don't know where another one is at. so probably in san jose or santa clara is the next place i would have to go. >> there's certainly a narrative that's out there that, you know, san francisco's better days are behind it and that there's a lot of problems. and this announcement by bloomingdale's fits the narrative really well. >> san francisco mayor daniel luria says his administration will be working to bring businesses back to the city. >> your netflix account is going to cost more depending on the type of account you have. you'll pay as much as $2 more per month. the los gatos company made the announcement yesterday during a quarterly earnings call. netflix also revealed it beat revenue and profit projections and saw its biggest jump in quarterly subscribers ever. it's also boosted its projections for the next quarter and signaled plans for more live programing. that's supposed to be coming, which has been a driver for all of the new

subscribers and beyonce. i added. >> that, and beyonce and mike tyson. yeah. also added, which is huge wwe raw. yeah. live every monday night on netflix. so that is a you're kidding. i know you don't okay i love wrestling growing up. so i've always followed this. that's huge for netflix to get that because monday night raw is their live programing every week. >> yeah. well they were just at the sap center and someone had asked me to go and i was like, sorry. the only people i know are like the rock and john cena. and they were like, well, they are back. >> yeah. >> and i was like, i mean. >> old is new again. >> no, i don't know them from wrestling, i know that from like movie culture. >> yeah, it's pretty wild. yeah. this morning we are back in the deep freeze once again. it is cold out there, just like yesterday, if not 1 or 2 degrees colder. so a live look at the east bay hills camera. we are clear this morning. here are your cold air alerts, most of us underneath either a frost advisory or freeze warning. and this just means we have temperatures at or below freezing in many

cities already this morning. so looking at the temperature map, we're down to 32 in santa clara. it is cold in the south bay right now, 38 in cupertino, 32 in palo alto, subfreezing in livermore. that frost advisory even colder in parts of the north bay. 27 in fairfield, holding at about 31 in sonoma. it will be a very beautiful day. weo recover very nicely this afternoon along the coast. nothing but sunshine will get you into the low 60s later on today. even warmer around the bay shoreline. it is cold this morning. we have frost advisories in effect, but we bounced back above average into the mid 60s later on this afternoon, with full sunshine and inland, we could see some areas not only in the mid 60s, but some of our guidance is pointing to a couple of cities getting close to 70 degrees today, so that would be about a 35 degree jump from our morning lows to our daytime highs. so it will be quite a little bit of weather whiplash today. it's downright freezing this morning. and then it's kind of warm feeling later on this afternoon. so highs today will hit about 72 in santa rosa, 70 in san jose

will hit 67 in oakland, 66 in the city, 63 in half moon bay, 68. the high in concord will likely do this again tonight. we keep those clear skies, will likely see new frost advisories and freeze warnings heading into thursday. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. it is cold this morning. we do it again tomorrow, and tomorrow afternoon is actually the warmest day this week. now friday is much cooler. cloudier skies move in here ahead of some gusty winds on saturday and we'll keep it below average early next week guys. >> all right drew thank you. coming up the seven things to know this morning. >> and remembering a legendy san francisco chef. how the local industry is paying tribute

connecting her ancestral taiwanese family food traditions to her present day life as a mother and a farmer. take a look. >> so this is the start of the farming process. this is where we do all of our seeding. my name is leslie weiser. i am the owner and farmer of radical family farms here in sebastopol, california. so after we seed everything from the barn, we put them into trays. they get put into our nursery, which is on an automated overhead watering. i spent a summer of my undergrad working on a farm in alaska. it was an organic farm and i was there from may to august. it's a very short growing season, and then from there, i just didn't think farming was viable or accessible for someone like myself. so i just finished my undergrad and got my master's and worked in corporate.

children were born in 2011, i decided i wanted to raise them on a similarly to the way the farmers in alaska raised their children and their family. i really liked how their kids had a lot of freedom to move. they knew where their food came from, so i wanted to kind of recreate that. so these are the szechuan peppercorns. these are certified organic. when i started the farm in 2018, i immediately cover cropped the farmland behind us. and then i took my kids and myself to taiwan, where they studied mandarin and were in a little preschool where they had a little garden, a little culinary garden. and it was really cool to see the vegetables that they were growing. this is my bitter melon hoop house, and i really worked hard to find a good way to grow this. that experience was the. my trips to taiwan was very pivotal in terms of choosing

what to farm. and then it was just some conversations with friends who, you know, were making suggestions of what to grow. because when i started the farm in 2018, i was not certain which direction i would go to. yet this i never knew what any of this was, so i had no idea. i was not exposed to bitter melon. i had no idea bitter melon existed. i had no idea. celsius existed. so this has been like a huge learning journey for me. so it was very important and central to the farm. but now i feel like i've accomplished that and learned so much about myself, and now it's really just taking, you know, enjoying the farming and finding pleasure in the farming now and, and making sure that the business is viable and changing to a more sustainable direction.
