for zelensky. >> i just want to get a deal done and if the deal happens, good. but you can't embolden somebody that does not have the cards. >> following those remarks, zelensky, in an exclusive interview with fox news's bret baier, said the public fight was not good. >> so i'm not hearing from you, mr. president, a thought that you owe the president an apology. >> no, i respect president and i respect american people. and if i don't know if i think that we have to be very open and very honest, i think maybe sometimes some some, some things we have to discuss out of out of media. >> zelenskyy adding, quote, there are very sensitive things and i just want to be honest and i want our partners to understand the situation correctly. perry russom, abc news, new york. >> what happened at the white house certainly sent shockwaves through the political community. south bay congressman sam liccardo held his first town hall meeting since being elected, and before the meeting got underway friday night, he

overtook the vehicle. we've learned the evening started around 830 with a group of friends gathering at a house in piedmont. they hung out for hours and drinks were involved. the witness says around 3 a.m, they left and went to dixon's home because he wanted to get the cybertruck. three people got into the cybertruck with him. two others stayed in the other car. following the cybertruck, the person driving that other car says soren was driving normally. but when he turned the corner onto hampton road, he saw the car on fire. >> that was ama daetz reporting. a few weeks ago, a toxicology report showed all four people in the cybertruck tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and alcohol. well, we have another warning about the dangers of fentanyl, this time coming from the sonoma county district attorney's office. it comes after two teens overdosed on the synthetic drug. da carla rodriguez wants the public to be aware of using any illicit drugs because it could be laced with

since 2010. 29 million cases, 16,000 deaths. and it's not over yet. >> if anybody has symptoms right now in california and the us, more likely than not it's going to be flu. i think more than 60% of what's going around now is probably flu. >> the hospitalization rate is the highest it's been in 15 years, and there have been also nearly 100 child deaths. the good news? activity is on the decline. >> the flu numbers have been dropping for two weeks, but there have been. this is the second little peak in our flu season, and there have been years when there's been a third, which would be maybe 2 or 3 weeks out from now. so we are certainly not out of the woods. and if there's someone who hasn't been vaccinated, there is still a reasonable chance that it would help. >> the discussion on vaccines took a political turn, as medical experts expressed alarm because this week's regularly

scheduled fda meeting on next year's flu vaccine was canceled with no reason given. >> an anti-vaccine activist leading the country's top health agency is not dangerous. it's a public health disaster waiting to happen. flu vaccination rates are are low across california. >> knowing what to target for next season is critical for vaccine development, especially after this brutal flu season. vaccine protection starts to wane, so those who got a vaccine in the fall might be more susceptible to the flu now. the flu vaccine this year was estimated to be 41 to 55% effective in protecting adults from illness. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> well, another thing you don't want to hear right now. paying even more to p-g-and-e's. coming up, the difference customers may notice on this month's bill. francis, we're all seeing it. >> yeah. and we'll also see lots of gray skies this morning with

of the april 1st average at this location. >> statewide, we're at 85% of average for snowpack on this date, most of that coming from the northern sierra, with the central and south showing even further less than average. there's some work to do to get back to normal. >> at the beginning of this calendar year. the statewide snowpack was at 108% of average for that date, but an extremely dry january dropped that to 69% of an average month a month later. with lower snowpack. >> and despite some solid storms in february, recent weather chipped away at gains. december, january and february normally account for half of california's annual precipitation, making next month's weather important. but state climatologist doctor michael anderson said friday it's an uphill battle. >> march. a key player in if you're behind hoping to catch up uh- sometimes doesn't work out that way. it's quite possible that we may have that window up in the first half of the month that maybe does not hold out. >> despite a forecasted below average year for snowpack, the last few winters have kept reservoirs full, including in

santa clara county, where levels are at 114% of average, meaning this year there's less of a reliance for snowpack than usual. >> good news is, is the reservoirs there in northern california, shasta and oroville, they're full. so we're getting a boost in our allocations. that was just announced this week. so that's good news for us since we import about half of our water into santa clara county. >> the fourth and most important snow survey of the year, when levels typically hit their peak, will tell the tale of our 2024 2025 water year. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> a controversial bill to conserve the black bear population has activists calling for the proposal to be blocked. a practice known as hounding could allow hunters to chase and scare black bears up into trees by using dogs. lawmaker heather chadwick proposed assembly bill 1038, which could reinstate hound dogs to hunt bears. the tactic was banned nearly a decade ago. some people oppose the bill, saying it's a cruel way to control the bear population and want to keep california's black bears safe.

one activist describes how hounding can severely injure bears. >> they shoot him, and then he tumbles down through the branches, sometimes just breaking bones on the way down, getting badly injured, sometimes dying on the way down or from the gunshot. >> chadwick's bill hasn't made it to committee yet, and is expected to undergo hearings in the coming weeks. egg prices continue to soar. we're all seeing it now. officials are seeing a different problem related to those rising prices. the u.s. border protection agency is reporting a rise in the number of people trying to smuggle eggs across the border into mexico since the beginning of january, agents in texas reported they stopped about 90 people trying to smuggle eggs. in san diego, agents have seen a 158% increase. egg prices have jumped to an all time high because of the avian flu. prices are nearly double what they were a year ago. still ahead on abc

backstage. >> we have no idea who's going to come back. >> the oscars are an exciting, nerve racking event, not just for the nominees who hit the red carpet before heading into the dolby theater, but also for talk show hosts kelly ripa and mark consuelos, who taped interviews for their annual live after the oscars show. during the award show telecast, it's not as glamorous as it might seem. >> we can't hear. we can't see. and then suddenly, the winner is right there standing in front of us. and we have to, like, figure out who just won. what. >> we know the category. >> we know the category. we just don't know. like who's who it is. >> i'm always excited to meet some of the people that i've admired for so many years, and especially at the time when they've won something so massive and so important in their lives. it's like you don't not everybody gets to experience that. and so it's nice to just to be around that. >> kelly told me about one famous actor who left her with a favorite oscar memory.

walks the red carpet with me and i look at him and i look around and i was like, i'm like, you're going to be walking here one day for a whole different reason. >> it's why i married her. >> mark told me he's actually dreamed of one day getting an oscar nomination. he says he doesn't have to win, though the nomination would be enough in hollywood. george pennacchio for abc news. >> so much anticipation. so here is the rundown for your oscar sunday, right here on abc seven. our coverage begins with on the red carpet at 1230. that's followed by that car on the red carpet show at 330. and then the oscars begin earlier than ever at 4 p.m, right here on abc seven. well, moving on from skype. microsoft says it's ending service in just a few months. what will soon replace it, francis. >> and we are looking at gray skies over the bay bridge right now in san francisco, with some fog around the bay area, even

are going to have some showers later on today. we're even seeing a few sprinkles depending on where you are around the bay area. you can see here with live doppler seven satellite radar image. we have some off the coast and we had a few light showers moving through san francisco into the east bay. most temperatures right now in the 40s and 50. san francisco 49. oakland and hayward at 50. san jose 51. and both redwood city and half moon bay, also at 50 degrees. this time from emeryville. we're looking out west across the bay bridge and santa rosa. there's quite a bit of fog with limited visibility.

47 degrees there and upper 40s in napa, fairfield. concord at 46 livermore, 44 degrees from the downtown san francisco area. you can see how gray it is right now. and here's what you need to know for the weather forecast. so this evening, the showers arrive and continue through tomorrow morning with this system. we're also going to see some rough surf building. there's a risk of rip currents. be careful at the beaches. and then we have periods of light rain next week. right now it looks like tuesday and wednesday. this next storm that arrives tonight is a level one on our exclusive storm impact scale. we'll see some breezier conditions. the chance of thunderstorms most likely tomorrow morning, and with those thunderstorms we could see some brief heavy downpours, even a chance of some small hail. and of course, the dangerous surf i mentioned. so here's a futurecast. notice we'll see some partly cloudy conditions throughout the afternoon. and then this evening if you have plans to go out, we'll see some light rain moving through the

bay area. but it's very light. then the spotty showers continue through tomorrow morning. but some of these showers could be heavy at times. by lunchtime tomorrow we should be drying out, but it will be cooler and breezy. breezy even tomorrow, so temperatures will continue to drop. rainfall estimates generally less than a quarter of an inch for most areas. san francisco maybe a few hundredths of an inch, and also san jose, close to a 10th of an inch, maybe a quarter of an inch in san mateo and in fremont. and also i mentioned the rough surf. so there's a high surf advisory starting at 9:00 this morning through monday night, we could see breakers of up to 20ft. so that does make it dangerous for conditions on the beaches. with this system. we also have some snow arriving in the sierra. up to ten inches of snow above 6000ft. so this does mean slippery roads and dangerous hazards, dangerous driving conditions. bring your chains with you and highs today you'll

notice the 70s are gone. temperatures in the 50s and 60. san francisco 59, oakland 62, san jose 68. one of the warmer spots where they'll get a little bit of sunshine tomorrow. temperatures will drop in the morning with those showers into generally the 40s. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so light showers arrive tonight. it's going to be a little wet for the start of oscar sunday. then we get a break on monday before another system arrives tuesday and wednesday. stephanie. >> all right. francis. thank you. happening today, the oakland ballers will be holding their first ever fans fest. it's going to be held at the prescott market in raymond park, which is where the ballers play their games. and it sounds like a lot like last year's event, which was a grassroots effort by a's fans. the team is gone, but the spirit, of course, is still living on with the last dive bar teaming up with the oakland 68 for this year's event. this is being touted as a celebration for all of oakland's teams.

well, everyone is still talking about warriors star steph curry after his incredible night putting up 56 points, topping his previous season high of 38. he never ceases to amaze. here's abc seven sports director larry beil with your morning sports. >> good morning everybody. at his jersey retirement ceremony, andre iguodala said it was really just the start of the steph curry celebration. and when you talk about number 30 there's always more to celebrate. like 56 points in orlando on thursday night steph totally changed the game. hit the heave just before the half. this is on february 27th is the date steph went for 54 against the knicks in 2013. 46 on the same date in 2016 and 56 points last night on february 27th. curry, now with the most 50 point games after age 30 in history with nine funny moments as he tosses his jersey to his mom, sonja, who smells and goes, oh, that was the only downside of what was a truly spectacular performance. >> create a lot of memories, not only for myself. i know for fans

who've watched the whole career. so no matter if you've been watching since zero nine or before that or recently, just somebody that brings joy to the game is inspiring. to not only just play basketball, but to find your best self in whatever you decide to do. >> and we're spoiled around here. we're used to it, but it never gets old watching. i can tell you that the fans here tonight, even the magic fans, they know they're they're witnessing greatest shooter ever and one of the greatest performers ever. it's not just the shots going in. it's just the fluidity, the beauty of his movement and motion and his audacity. the shots that he's willing to take. >> you mean like from 35ft? we got the warriors and sixers for you tonight. dubs looking to extend their win streak to six. no joel embiid for philly. he's out for the season with a sore knee. coverage starts at 5:00. tip off at 530 followed by after the game on abc seven. despite a 23 and seven record, the usf men's basketball team on ncaa

tournament bubble squad. big finish to the season could help secure a spot in the big dance starting tonight at chase center against perennial power gonzaga. the winner of that game will secure the two seed in the west coast conference, and that comes with a spot in the wcc semifinals next weekend. >> we've been doing a great job of everybody having their own nights in any given game, so it's going to take a collective being in gonzaga. so i think we're we've been losing to them the last couple of years, but i think this is time for us to take that next step as a team. we know what's on the line. we're trying to get to march, you know, and we know every game from now on is the most important game. none is bigger than the next. but we know how important this game is. >> brewers and giants in spring training action logan webb on the mound went three innings, struck out four on his way to his first spring win in cactus league action. and matt chapman here it comes. there it goes providing some offense a two run blast in the first inning as the giants win nine two. they're four and two so far in scottsdale. looking good early on. and that's a wrap on morning
