now abc seven mornings live.

>> now at six. students and coaches vowing to fight back after sonoma state university makes a bombshell announcement. the entire athletics program is getting cut. we'll have more on that in a moment. good morning everybody. it's sunday, january 26th. let's get right to your forecast. >> yeah. with january winding down, we want to get some rain in here. and there's certainly rain on live doppler seven, but it is along the central coast, southern california. even a few lightning strikes off of monterey there for the bay area, we picked up a couple hundredths. and as this pulls away today, we'll see increasing sunshine. but gilroy, morgan hill, hollister you've had a little bit of wet weather overnight. you can still see on the radar there that it's in the vicinity mid 40s to upper 40s. we have colder conditions in the upper elevations of the east bay. we have wind in the north bay. the offshore wind will take us through the morning hours. you can see concord particularly gusty there at 28 miles an hour and upper elevations near 30 miles an hour in the north bay hills. as we go through the

afternoon, we'll get increasing sunshine, but it's another cool day. mid and upper 50s steph. >> all right lisa thank you. back to our top story. along with its athletics program, sonoma state university is also getting rid of several academic departments and majors in addition to laying off dozens of faculty members. it's all to address the school's nearly $24 million budget deficit for the upcoming school year. but it has a lot of students and staff feeling blindsided. now, as abc seven news reporter tara campbell explains, they're preparing to fight back. >> the airport to make our budget. >> it's a pep talk. the sonoma state coaches never thought they'd have to give, nor did they think they'd be preparing to file a lawsuit against the university. but that's exactly what they're doing. in wake of the school's announcement wednesday, it's shuttering its athletic department. >> there's been a complaint filed with the office of civil rights. >> the complaint, filed on behalf of minority athletes, calls for an investigation into the university's decision. >> the athletic department is the most diverse group on

campus, way more than than the campus at large. so this this decision harms minority students. >> like many coaches here, marcus zimmer's seawolves roots run decades deep. student athlete turned coach, just like women's soccer head coach and hall of famer amiria salzman. >> on one hand, we're trying to get them somewhere else, but on the other hand, we're asking them to fight, and that's a lot to put on people. >> it takes a lot of commitment from our family and our friends to even get us to the opportunity to go to college, and taking that away from athletes and non-athletes alike. it just breaks my heart. >> heartbreaking is how these coaches are describing it too. >> when we recruit players, we look at them in their eyes. we talk and meet their families and look at them, and we promise their families that we're going to take care of them. and now the school has stripped us of that opportunity. so i have to go back on my word to all of our

players. and that hurts more than anything else. >> while there is a lot of hurt, there's also a lot of hurt. >> as athletes and coaches were taught to fight like my team goes by a quote played to the last minute, and that's what we're going to do. >> we reached out to the university for a response to the filing and received an email reading. the university is aware of the complaint and it is being reviewed, and certainly conversations like the ones going on behind me right now between these coaches and these athletes will continue. this group says they're not giving up. >> my goal is to be able to come back here in a couple years and still have a legacy left, and for these coaches to still have a place to call home and to come to work to every day. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> turning now to the southern california wildfires, where fire crews have just about full containment on three major wildfires. the palisades fire is 84% contained. it has burned more than 23,000 acres. containment on the eaton fire is 95%. it has burned more than

14,000 acres, and crews continue to gain ground on the hughes fire with 90% containment. but the big concern this weekend is rain, which could cause landslides in the burn areas. fire officials in southern california warn residents that the heavy rain could cause toxic ash runoff. the remaining homes in the pacific palisades underwent preparations before getting some much needed rain on saturday. several types of sandbags have been set up to prevent potentially toxic debris from flowing into storm drains. other sandbags are protecting the remaining structures from those fires. however, some residents fear this rain could cause significant damage to their homes. >> we're concerned about the runoff, the toxic material with the rain coming in that it's going to, you know, get potentially into our house. >> the national weather service forecasts the region will get about an inch of rain over the next few days, which could cause

debris flows. this morning, there are also concerns over mudslides and the eaton fire burn areas. reporter leanne suter, from our sister station in la, shows us the efforts from local crews to prepare in altadena. >> barriers of sandbags are in place and k-rails lined up along the charred hillsides as rain is set to move into the eaton burn zone. >> i'm delighted that the rain is coming. it's been so dusty and the ash has been in the air and the air quality has been low, and now the rain is going to come and it's going to knock down the dust. >> but hopefully not the fire ravaged hillsides. the eaton fire is charred more than 14,000 acres, putting a large area at risk of possible mudslides. >> i had ptsd from the fire. i said, oh no, now the floods are going to wash away our house. >> workers have been clearing area debris basins in hopes of preventing any potential problems. and crews have been

working on cleaning up the massive amounts of debris in pasadena, brought down by the wicked winds that fueled the firestorm. >> i dropped about nearly a year's worth of green waste material that we generally pick up in the city in just one day overnight. >> crews working to collect as much as possible before the rain washes it into the storm drains. for residents who luckily escaped the fire, mother nature has them on edge once again with another threat. >> a little rain would be beneficial, but i am obviously nervous to see if it's going to be too much or what's going to happen, but i'm staying hopeful. we'll probably get some sandbags going, see what happens, but hoping for the best because it's been nonstop. >> there certainly is a lot of concern. everyone hoping that mother nature keeps the rain light and steady. no major downpours, but officials are warning that it won't take much for those fire ravaged hillsides to start to move. in altadena,

leanne suter, abc7 news. >> back here at home in san francisco, thousands of anti abortion rights advocates were on the move throughout the city for the annual walk for life west coast. here's abc seven news reporter cornell bernard. >> glory, glory, hallelujah. >> thousands of anti abortion rights supporters filling market street with their message. >> abortion is murder. >> this is the 21st annual walk for life west coast. the event bringing individuals and religious groups together from across california. sidney brooks knows why she's here. >> i know many women who have had abortions, and i know the regret that they feel. so i decided to come out here and just hopefully inspire and share the message of hope that there isn't another option. there are alternatives. >> san francisco catholic archbishop salvatore cordileone, speaking to the crowd at civic center before the walk. >> you look out at the crowd, you see most of them are young

people. i think young people have finally realized what's going on. and that abortion destroys a life. there's no question about that. i think a lot of their generation is not here because of that. >> abortion opponents are feeling inspired by the reelection of president donald trump and recent court actions restricting the procedure. >> it's moving the movement in the right direction, but we still have more work to do. >> across the street, abortion rights advocates gathered with their own counter protest. >> we oppose the other side in terms of what they are trying to put against us and take away our bodily autonomy, which has always been our main message, is everyone has a right to what they want to do with their bodies. >> traffic definitely impacted by this event. much of market street has been closed much of saturday. detours are in place. those detours causing some gridlock on downtown streets. traffic returning to normal by late afternoon in san francisco. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> also in san francisco,

supporters collected signatures this weekend at mccoppin square in the sunset district in an effort to recall san francisco supervisor joel engardio. one of the reasons they're upset is over the closure of the great highway. engardio says he disagrees. this one issue should cost him his job. >> i think he's made the west side of san francisco less safe by spearheading the closure of the great highway. he snuck it in against the will of the people that he's supposed to be representing. >> the road cannot be a direct connection to daly city anymore. it's literally falling into the ocean. the southern section is falling into the ocean because of extreme coastal erosion. so that raises the question what to do with the middle section. and people are going to disagree. they say it's a bad idea to recall someone based on a disagreement over a single issue. >> organizers need to gather 10,000 signatures by may 22nd to trigger that recall. in the east bay, candidates for the alameda

county district attorney took part in a forum on saturday to show their stances on key issues. alameda county justice based coalitions hosted this event. audience members asked some questions and they touched on topics like public safety, police accountability, and substance abuse. all those in the running are in high local legal positions. now to a bizarre robbery attempt at a south bay restaurant, one that had employees struggling with what they call the robot kidnaper. take a look at this surveillance video from just before 8 a.m. last saturday at 421. shows a man walking in and he asks to use the restroom, and when he emerges, he grabs one of the shop's three robot servers. you can see him struggling to get it out the front door and into his backed up car, parked right outside here, and employees race after him and eventually get the man to release the robot and they call

police. now, the owner tells abc seven news the robot costs about $18,000, but says it's useless for a thief because it has to be specially programed in order to work. i'm glad that the store owners got it back. all right, let's check on conditions outside with lisa. good morning. >> good morning. it is cloudy. it's breezy in spots over in concord. wind gusts up to 28 miles an hour. and it's chilly in the upper elevations. we have a system moving out of the bay area, maybe dropping a few more sprinkles in the south bay. we'll talk about that. and the last week of january, which looks a little bit more promising for rain and february. even better coming up. >> also ahead, the countdown continues for tiktok, and president trump is talking about what he plans to do for the app. plus, thousands are celebrating the lunar new year across the bay area. we'll show you some of the biggest

us how we live in the past and carry over to the future. >> that sense of honoring tradition is part of this year's theme, bridging generations. >> hastings i-team's. >> organizers say the origin story of many of the bay area's vietnamese community is as refugees of the vietnam war. the u.s. military ground war began in 1965, in support of the south, who were fighting the communist north. the communists eventually won in 1975. year marks what organizers call the 50th anniversary of the mass exodus and early resettlement of refugees displaced by the fall of saigon. natalie phan was born and raised in san jose. >> as many people have come over from vietnam or even just been here in america for a long time, we lose sight of our culture and it's really amazing to see that everyone is connected with not only the american culture, but

with lunar new year in general. >> for the vietnamese, this is the year of the wood snake. saturday night celebration is to remember, recreate and retain their heritage in their adopted homeland. >> it's extremely important to have visibility, exposure to the language, keep our culture alive within an ever changing, i guess, political climate. and so that's why we bring our kids share the food, the traditions, the dancing, the arts and all of that. >> the event continues on sunday in san jose, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> beautiful celebration from. >> little saigon. >> on the peninsula. millbrae is holding its lunar new year festival this weekend. a huge crowd packed the downtown area. the main attraction appearing to be all the delicious food. there was also live entertainment and some vendors selling their goods. if you missed out, don't worry, it will be back again today on broadway starting at 10 a.m. in san francisco. the dharma treasury temple is putting thousands of its buddha

elected officials and the chinese chamber of commerce. thank you all for kicking it off. and we got a few weeks of celebration, so let's have some fun. >> the flower market street fair sells oranges, tangerines, flowers, and plants, as well as a variety of foods. there's also traditional chinese entertainment, including chinese opera and lion dancing on stage. the fair is still open today from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and of course, abc seven is a proud sponsor of the 2025 san francisco chinese new year parade. you can watch the live parade saturday, february 15th starting at 6 p.m. right here on abc seven and wherever you stream. well, a second chance at life for this heron tangled in a fishing line at fisherman's wharf. take a look. crews were able to reach the struggling bird in this high tree and thankfully, free it from the line. it had a hook in its beak. so they actually had to transport it to the local vet to

be removed. animal control expects it to be returned to the wild, to live a happy life, and you never know who or what might be lurking under your house, especially in south lake tahoe. take a look. a black bear got evicted this week. apparently. all it took, though, was a few taps on the side of the house to get the bear to come out and dart off. this was a young male bear that had taken up a residence there, and this is certainly par for the course in south lake tahoe area. we all know that for those of you who live there, you know it well. but, lisa, i'm thinking about this. i mean, you could do a few taps or even put a t-bone steak outside your house. i mean, either way would work. >> yeah. chuck it out there and then run away. yeah, exactly. then you'd never get rid of them. all right. good morning everybody. live doppler seven showing you this system that is still bringing rain to southern california. also, the central coast, even monterey and upper elevations getting some snow. it's a cold upper level low, and it's provided the cloud cover.

yesterday a few sprinkles here. gilroy and parts of morgan hill. still looking at maybe a few sprinkles. and those lightning strikes offshore, but closer to home, just clipping parts of the bay area. here's a look at highway 101 south of morgan hill and hollister had a few showers, but overall nothing more than a few hundredths. but as we take you further to the south, you'll notice upwards of a quarter of an inch santa barbara. another half inch to come through tomorrow in los angeles and even san diego. so certainly helping put out the fires. but with all of those toxic chemicals along the landscape and the mud, it is going to be hopefully not a horrible situation if we don't get the heavy rain in one spot, if it just is moderate and then kind of moves through. that would be the hope. low to mid 40s. right now back home temperatures are a little bit elevated in spots, but upper elevations from mount tam to mount diablo to mount hamilton right around 30 degrees. so even some mixed precip at times

around mount hamilton. so morning breezy conditions in the upper elevations of the north bay. still with our wind advisory through 10:00. then partly cloudy skies as that low departs the next few mornings. a freeze watch for the entire bay area through wednesday, except the city and the coastal north bay. the marin county coastline. and then by the end of the week, showers increase. a couple of systems may head our way come friday into the first weekend of february. here's a look at the winds offshore 20 to 30 miles an hour through 8:00. still pretty gusty. point reyes olema half moon bay and they stay elevated through about noontime. so this is the upper elevations and lower elevations. it has been a little bit breezy as well. then as we get into the afternoon hours, those offshore winds turn more to a north northwesterly component and that onshore flow takes over and that will build some of the fog, bring temperatures up as we get into the middle of the week. there's a look at the cloud cover. you notice it's still wants to hang

on to the east bay, the south bay, even the peninsula. while we are mostly sunny throughout the north bay in terms of the snow. mixed precip around mammoth right now, but it's a winter weather advisory. temperatures are cold, so a couple of inches at best. maybe just about 1 or 2 at the ski resorts, but then upper elevations 4 to 6in above 5000ft and gusty winds. we're taking you through the end of the week. ten days out, maybe through early february. and boy, it looks more promising for the rain. we need it anywhere from three quarters of an inch or better. maybe in santa rosa and about a third of an inch for you, hopefully in the south bay. so another cool day, but much brighter out there. the winds will be a little bit lighter mid and upper 50s. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at temperatures coming up maybe a couple degrees, but overall cold mornings, cool afternoons near average. you see the lunar new year there on wednesday included. and then increasing clouds thursday. getting some rain in here friday a team can help you plan for your dreams.

confusion after someone painted red curbs along several streets in san francisco's richmond district. city officials say it wasn't them. the fake red zones are also confusing residents because of the state's new day lighting law. and as abc seven news reporter tim johns tells us, sfmta says the problem is expensive to fix. >> walk down balboa street in san francisco's richmond neighborhood, and you can't help but notice several newly painted red curbs. the only problem the san francisco municipal transportation agency says many of them are fake, painted red by an unknown person or people. >> it's extremely inappropriate, and i don't think it's acceptable to do such things. i hope it's illegal. >> local resident gloria zarkova tells us she was confused when the red curbs popped up seemingly overnight this week. as you can see, sfmta has had to start repainting some of these fake curbs. gray again. that's because whoever did this made some of them much longer than

the 20ft that's actually required by the state's daylighting law. and that fact has frustrated a lot of local residents. >> it's already extremely hard to park in san francisco. there is no, like, public parkings in neighborhoods. >> sfmta says many of the fake curbs were originally spray painted red. a spokesperson for the agency said they had to send crews out to repaint them and make them the proper length. in a statement, sfmta expressed frustration over being forced to do that, saying responding to these incidents is stretching our resources thin and causing confusion among residents. to comply with the state's daylighting law. we need to be focusing our limited resources where they matter most, which is most immediately in school zones to provide safe crossing to kids. those frustrations were also shared by other people in this neighborhood. >> the city is being forced to do something that they shouldn't have to be doing, and of course, that takes time and money. and so that's taking resources away from things that they might decide would be a better use of the money we pay in taxes. >> and amid the confusion, many

just hoping whoever's responsible is caught. >> i really hope they can figure out who's actually doing this and why would they do it? is it someone within the neighborhood or is it just here? i don't know if it's throughout the city. >> sfmta says while they would ultimately like to daylight every intersection in the city, they currently don't have the funding to do that in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> well, still to come on abc seven mornings. the newest members of president trump's cabinet now sworn in. we have reaction from department of defense secretary pete hegseth. plus, what it means for the inmates on the front lines fighting fires in southern cancer is a journey you don't take alone. you did it! our cancer care team works together to care for all that is you. are you 50 or older? well, this news is for you. the cdc now recommends you get vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia.

always been a passion of mine. >> most who are eligible and choose to join can qualify for sentence reductions up to two days off their sentences. for every day on a fire crew, they earn up to roughly $10 a day, plus an extra dollar during emergencies. mckinney says he's worked as long as 24 hours. >> it was a lot, but, you know, they keep the water coming, they keep food coming. and, you know, you feed off the energy of the other guys. y'all are doing lifesaving work. we have a responsibility to show our gratitude as a state for that. >> california state assembly member isaac bryant and government officials met with some of these firefighters at their base camp in pasadena. brian just introduced legislation to increase their pay. >> what ab 247 says is that if you are incarcerated and you are actively fighting a wildfire, you are on the front line. you are on the fire line doing that life saving work. you should be compensated at the same rate as the lowest paid person who's not incarcerated. >> mckinney and almanza have been moved by the outpouring of support from many in the public. >> it just feels like sometimes you're tucked away, you know,

and no one gets to touch. you don't get to share those experiences with nobody. so when the community comes out and shows the love and the outpouring, it just really feels good, you know? it feels like someone cares and someone knows what you're doing. >> one of the organizations that has advocated with and for these firefighters is the anti-recidivism coalition. they helped write a bill to expunge their records. the organization also helps run a firefighter training and reentry program that creates a pathway for a career upon release. >> i have about two years left on my sentence, so by the time that it's over, i should be pretty dialed in and know what i'm doing, so i'm excited to pursue that. >> anabel munoz, abc seven. >> well, the wildfires have highlighted a plan approved less than a year ago in the south bay, and it could help santa clara county prepare for a similar disaster. here's abc seven news reporter zach fuentes. >> the southern california wildfires have brought a daunting reminder to communities across the state that they could face the same. in santa clara

county, officials remind that its cities face not just wildfires, but earthquakes, floods and even tsunamis. but the same county plan that highlights and informs of those threats is also a roadmap in navigating them. >> the multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan is a countywide plan that identifies risks and threats in our county, and it helps us learn what they are and how we can minimize the damage of any natural or human caused disasters. >> that plan brings together 18 cities in the county and also unincorporated areas, ranking the biggest risks each faces. collaboration that's key. in an area as big as santa clara county, with some cities at higher risk of certain threats than others. for example, the city of santa clara is at highest risk for earthquakes, followed by gilroy and morgan hill. palo alto, los gatos milpitas ranked some of the highest among the cities for wildfire risk. >> a overall whole community approach when we're doing this, because if there is an earthquake, for example, loma prieta, it didn't only affect

that area of the county, it affected actually the whole bay. correct. but at least our whole county and all our cities and special districts understand the hazard risk levels. >> the most recent plan was approved in february of 2020. for a hard or more official review is done every 2 to 5 years. still, the county said the plan is consistently monitored and updated in between, something it says is especially critical as officials and the entire community see events unfolding in southern california. >> we're very focused on making sure that we plan, prepare, mitigate so we can respond and recover from disasters. >> but it's not just governments that officials say have to have a plan. they remind everyone to protect themselves by having emergency plans and staying informed by signing up for emergency alerts in santa clara county. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right, let's get you outside with lisa. good morning. >> good morning. as we take a look at santa cruz. isn't this

conditions. all due to this system is pulling away from central california. eventually. but they certainly have the rain. and also southern california. upper elevations looking at mixed precip and some snow while the bay area. is on the back side of this. we've had a little bit of shower activity

from the central valley wrap around into san francisco. 1/100 yesterday, but closer to the south bay and gilroy. san martin, 101 south of morgan hill. looking at a little bit of wet weather. and as we get into southern california, it's been quite impressive. with a half inch yesterday and another half inch to come. so the firefighting efforts definitely some good news, but eventually this will cause some problems if we get heavy rain all in one spot at a certain time. and so with los angeles being such a huge area, we can't really tell where we're going to see those downpours, but hopefully that this will aid some efforts and not bring more problems mid to upper 40s right now, but upper elevations still have a frost advisory from the east bay hills and the eastern santa clara hills where we are at, or below 30 degrees. so it's certainly cold with that system to the south of us. and those breezy winds in the north bay through 10:00. our wind advisory north bay interior mountains. we're turning partly cloudy throughout

the day. mostly sunny in the north bay, but that system holding on to some cloud cover east bay, south bay, and then we'll get into the cold mornings. we already have them right through the next several days. a freeze watch for the entire bay area throughout the morning hours, except san francisco and the coastal north bay. then as we get towards the end of the week, increasing shower chances looking pretty good that we're going to flip the script here on the dry january 20 to 30 mile an hour wind gusts upper elevations. so through the afternoon it remains breezy. we remain with this offshore component until late in the day. and then the winds switch around to the north and eventually an onshore flow. so those easterly winds allowing for a cool start as that low pulls away. so we're sunny here. but look at the cloud cover from livermore to concord, san mateo, san jose and gilroy right throughout the day. so we'll call it partly cloudy into the mountains. it has been cold. we've seen some snow around mammoth and a little rain as well, but it is certainly cold enough to get a couple of inches

at our ski resorts and then upper elevations picking up 4 to 6in. so our winter weather advisory taking us through 4:00, those gusty winds. and for the outlook for the next 7 to 10 days, it's really friday that we get the best chance of some shower activity. might not happen though, till the weekend. and then when we do see the rain, looks like we're going to see some rain that we really need around here. so it's been a long time. maybe it'll come in the last day of january. we'll have to wait and see. upper 50s oakland today 58, in napa. mostly sunny conditions in the north bay. partly cloudy, the rest of us. the accuweather seven day forecast. the sun and cloud mix today. cold mornings, monday, tuesday, the lunar new year. some temperatures near average throughout the afternoon. clouds increase thursday. looking at our rain, increasing the chances friday into the first weekend of february. steph. >> all right lisa thank you. well to sports now in san francisco another loss for the warriors last night. that was a tough one to watch. our abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez has a closer look at

what happened against the lakers. >> good morning. we got to see another steph curry versus lebron james matchup last night at chase center. but it's going to be nearly impossible for the warriors to win many games. when steph is held scoreless in the second half. 25th regular season meeting between steph and lebron tied at 12 wins each entering the ball game early on, buddy hield corner the miss offensive rebound. get it out to steph makes the three. eight points in the first quarter and 13 at the break. lakers by one after one second quarter. here's anthony davis had a big game. and 118 in the first half. finished with a game high 36. and lebron james working on santos. great defense for about 20s. but lebron i mean he can beat anyone working hard off the glass. lakers up by one at the break. game turns in the third quarter. max christie hitting back to back threes in about a 35 second span. there's one from that corner. if one is nice how about twice. another triple goes for him. lakers jump

out to a double digit lead and the warriors never recover. curry went zero for eight in the second half. just couldn't find the bottom of the net. held scoreless. not often. you see 30. held scoreless at any point really in a game. and then lebron up top 25 points 12 assists. lakers win by ten. the warriors fall back under 500 at 22 and 23. >> hospital in akron, ohio. >> i thought we played a great first half. we had a lot of really good shots, good flow to the offense and then second half not as good. i give credit to the lakers and their defense and i just think that overall wasn't our night. we didn't make enough shots. we know as a as a shooting team three point shooting team, a team that doesn't get to the line a whole lot or get a lot of easy baskets. we've got to knock down our threes. and tonight we didn't knock down enough. >> they guarded us well. they knocked down shots. you know they're a big team. so it's different than a lot of other matchups. but you got to be able to adapt. and they just came out

on top. >> really bothered us. and you know any game where i play like that it's going to be hard for us to win. so at the end of the day, you got to make adjustments, find space and, you know, knock down the shots that you're supposed to. and i didn't do that tonight. >> on steph's shots he didn't make a shot in the second half. anything you see. is it just a couple. don't go basketball. >> yeah. basket. even the greatest shooter on earth is going to have nights like that. it happens. >> all right. sharks taking on defending cup champion florida panthers might not want to look at this one. first period mario ferraro shot goes off the end board. will smith eighth of the season two one san jose. but florida would score the next six goals. aaron ekblad back of the net. three two panthers and it's all florida aj greer going to score on the breakaway and the sharks lose seven two. they've dropped six straight. that is your look at sunday sports. it's championship sunday in the nfl. the super bowl will be set later today. send it back to you. >> all right chris thank you. well the walt disney company's
