>> oh my gosh, that's right. you got a lot of redecorating to do for sure. >> court documents allege that howard deposited the $50,000 donation check into a personal account without the knowledge of board members, according to federal prosecutors. howard engaged in a scheme to embezzle money and property from eobr. documents claim he bought $100,000 of personal items on amazon, including a queen bed delivered to his home using the debit card. and prosecutors allege he embezzled funds to pay for two cars and a vacation rental property. howard pleaded not guilty on all cs and was ordered released under pretrial supervision with $25,000 bond. howard and his attorney did not respond to a request to comment on the case, and the interim director of the eobr said they would release a statement in the coming days. solomon howard could face up to 20 years in prison on just the

her removal, followed a november report examining accusations that she abused her power, sent racist and homophobic messages, and created a toxic work environment. all allegations she forcefully denies. >> i haven't faltered in my job. like i've said, crime is down. the communities are safe. >> on the eve of an election that threatens her career, san mateo county sheriff cristina corpus remains defiant. >> i am being crucified in the public eye for allegations. >> in an interview with abc seven news monday, the sheriff defends her work, saying she has received unfair treatment. >> i've been met with resistance from day one. holding people accountable has been called retaliation. disappointed is putting it lightly. >> it's uneasiness that has bled into county meetings and divided community activists. >> there's just too much turmoil. >> jim lawrence previously supported corpus but says her time has passed. >> we really need to get back down to normal. and i certainly

hope that she'll step up and say, you know, let's just end this and go forward. you know. >> it's just a power grab. >> dan says giving the board this type of power sets a bad precedent. >> it's a slippery slope. there's no end to it. and quite frankly, it's clear that the state of california never intended for a district elected board of supervisors to have an immediate mechanism to remove a countywide sheriff. >> the measure will grant supervisors the ability to remove a sheriff until 2028. that's when corpus, his term, is set to expire. >> if the people don't want me to be the sheriff, then a recall should take place. >> outcomes aside, community members are hoping to see change to prevent similar situations from happening again. >> the dress is a short term problem, but systemic issues require systemic changes. >> if voters approve measure a, it will still be quite some time before sheriff corpus is out of a job. the county elections

department first will have to certify the vote. that won't happen until about april. then the board of supervisors will have to present their case for removal before the public, and will also have to allow corpus to share her side in front of the public as well. four out of five of the county supervisors will have to sign off on a vote to kick her out of office. kristen. dan. >> all right. monica. thanks very much. several steps to go in that case. well, new developments in the case of an embattled south bay politician, former san jose city councilman omar torres pleaded not guilty today to charges of sex crimes with minors. he faces three felony counts of child sexual assault. torres resigned from city council last november. a special election is set for april 8th to fill his seat. ballots started being mailed out last week. >> the valley transportation authority is warning riders about a potential strike that could impact their commute as soon as tomorrow. the union contract for bus and light rail operators and other frontline staff expires at midnight

state in shelters, nearly double the amount of deaths than in california jails. san jose mayor matt mehan finds these numbers concerning, but recognizes the death rates on the street are far worse. he says that's why the city opts for a multitude of solutions. >> like interim housing, modular units and tiny homes, converted motels, safe parking, all sites where we see much lower rates of death and much higher rates of graduation to permanent housing. >> of all the people who come and go yearly in the shelter system, the calmatters investigation shows only 22% of people find housing less than 1 in 4 in san jose city, data found there. interim solutions have led to about 50% of people housed. >> everybody is different. people need different things to get off the streets from access to higher income jobs, job training, drug treatment, affordable housing, reconnecting with family. we're taking in all of the above approach. >> mehan and cartwright agree change appears to be needed within the shelter system, but multiple solutions are needed as a whole to get people off the

streets and in homes. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> san francisco leaders plan to slash some red tape to make the city's data and technology systems more efficient. they introduced new legislation at city hall today that empowers departments to quickly and easily purchase content and data subscriptions. the proposal would rewrite some city codes that have stood since the 1990s. leaders say the idea is to make it easier for vendors and tech companies to sell their technology to the city. >> more state workers will be heading back to the office. today, governor newsom signed an executive order requiring state employees to return to work at least four days a week by july 1st. the order also calls on state agencies to develop plans to accommodate the increase in in-person work. some flexibility for remote workers may be granted on a case by case basis. seven on your side is hosting a tax chat this wednesday ahead of tax day. get your questions answered by tax professionals by sending them in now. go to abc

update for us. julian. >> hey there dan and kristen. air quality doesn't just differ from city to city. it also differs block to block in the same area. sounds like common sense. but before that groundbreaking study we highlighted four years ago, there just was not the data to prove it. now, that program, piloted in west oakland, is going statewide, aiming to improve air quality for all californians. >> yeah, it's been a real labor of love determination. >> we first introduced you to margaret gordon in 2021 as she and her group, the west oakland environmental indicators, were putting pressure on the port of oakland and truckers to reduce emissions and clean up the air. >> what needs to be reregulated on this corner to reduce emissions? so what was happening on this street, on this sidewalk that was coming through people's front doors? >> those questions stem from frustrations with west oakland's air quality, polluted by the steady stream of big rig trucks bringing goods in and out of the port. driving through neighborhood streets, we

highlighted the results in our previous reporting decreased life expectancy and higher incidences of kids going to the er because of asthma in west oakland compared to the rest of alameda county. but since then, there have been some noteworthy improvements to air quality. >> some of the walls ceilings is not black anymore and it's great. changes and some operations at the port. many of the cranes now are electrified. a few more electric trucks in place. >> to demand improvements to the air quality. miss margaret and her group had to be able to accurately monitor it on their block, something the two and a half dozen stationary air quality monitors in the bay area can't do to capture and collect that hyperlocal data. the west oakland indicators teamed up with aclima, a game changing air quality monitoring and mapping company based right here in silicon valley. >> we prove that pollution is hyperlocal, that it varies from one block to the next by 5 to 8

times. that's a very significant rate of variability. >> davida herzl is the ceo of aclima. the pilot she led in west oakland proved that proximity to the source of pollution truly matters. >> and so in west oakland, where miss margaret lives, she's proximate to the port. what our data helped the community identify is that the pollution that comes from that port, the pollution that comes from traffic, contributes tremendously to the overall experience that people have in that community. and actually, as a result of our data, the community decided to really target their efforts on reducing particulate from diesel diesel particulate matter because it is so related to cancer. >> as of 2024, diesel particulate matter filled with black carbon, a leading cause of cancer in west oakland, is down 31% compared to 2017 measurements, according to a new air district report. this is thanks in part to the

interventions miss margaret and her group advocated for. the rate of cancer deaths and emergency visits for asthma for kids younger than five also went down significantly. >> the word that comes to mind when i hear about the findings of that really important study that you all conducted is empowerment. >> yes. empowerment is at the core of what really we're trying to do. how do you put this into the hands of people in such a way that they can advocate for themselves? >> now, mobile air quality monitoring is expanding across california with a $27 million contract with the california air resources board. soon you'll see these aclima vehicles driving around 64 cities in the golden state from northern california to the central valley and down to socal. davita invited us to take one out on the road. >> i'm so glad you're driving our car. >> tell us about it. there is a lot of technology packed into this thing. >> yeah, there is a ton. we have the sensors in the back of the car in the trunk. so in the

trunk we have our am, which is our aclima mobile node. and that measures like a core set of pollutants. >> i'm essentially sitting where your drivers would be sitting. correct. walk me through their task of driving through their communities to track the air quality. >> right. so every single morning, the drivers get a drive plan in the ipad that is designed algorithmically overnight based on what was measured the day before. >> the vehicle fleet will be made up of low emission or electric vehicles, and half the drivers will be hired from the local communities that they're serving. the goal is for the data collected to empower other communities and community leaders like west oakland and miss margaret, who now serves as an advisor for this statewide project. >> that's a victory in itself for 64 neighborhoods having the same level of momentum that is, that that has raised the bar. >> those aclima vehicles will start hitting california roads

in the next few months, and work should take about nine months to complete. the company will also be partnering with uc berkeley, uc riverside and a research company, aerodyne, to conduct more advanced testing with mobile laboratories around areas of great concern. dan. >> very interesting. all right, julian, thanks so much. an alarming health headline today. the world is on track for a major obesity crisis by the year 2050. a new study published in the lancet medical journal finds 3.8 billion adults are on pace to become obese by then. that's more than half of all adults worldwide. 746 million kids are also at risk. that's roughly a third of all youth globally. the study highlights the need for policies focused on healthier diets, regulations of processed foods, and prioritizing exercise and outdoor activities. >> is it the end of the line for daylight saving time and the growing movement to fight impulse

to see. spencer, i'm going to start with you, because we've had this debate every year for many, many years. i actually don't mind it. i guess i don't care if we get rid of it, but i kind of like it signals the change of the seasons. it doesn't bother me, but as i recall, you're kind of tired of it. yeah, just. >> just a little bit. no, i you know, i enjoy the extra daylight in the evening. it makes you feel like you can still get out and get some things done, but my gosh, some sometimes it's so dreary in the morning when you're waiting for the darkness to go away and the sun to come up. and i've got mixed feelings. >> and it does take monica. it takes me a few days to every year both directions spring forward and fall back to adjust. >> i've never understood it because i'm from arizona, so growing up i didn't really know it was a thing until i moved to another state. and i'm like, what are you? i mean, i knew it existed, but i was like, what is the purpose of this? >> so just to be clear, if we don't like the switching back and forth, would you choose to stay on daylight saving time or standard time? i would choose to stay on daylight saving time because i enjoy the daylight.

when i get home from work, i'm okay with it being dark in the morning. >> i might choose standard. yeah, really? >> yeah. >> i don't know. >> what does that. what does arizona do? i should know, but i can't remember. >> we just don't change the time. >> your standard time or. >> i think you're on standard. >> just standard time. >> we're on mountain standard time. yeah, yeah, yeah. so i don't know. >> but hawaii does that and they're fine. so yeah. if it's good enough for hawaii and arizona it's good enough for us okay. >> right. i mean imagine if they do away with it they'll just stick with standard time. >> is that would make sense? yeah, yeah. >> all right. there's a growing movement to fight the impulse to buy something you see on social media. no buy in 2025 is taking off thanks to a tiktok influencer. she says she's taking two steps to avoid the temptation to buy everything she sees. first, changing social media settings to avoid personalized ads, and second, unsubscribing from brand emails and texts. >> smart. >> yeah. slippery slope. are you guys subject to that? do you find yourself buying things because you saw it on tiktok or instagram? >> yes, i'm so influenced. like i'm the target market for a lot

of these influencers. they're like, oh, here's this amazon gadget that will improve your productivity and blah, blah, blah. and i'm like, click link in bio. it's so easy to like they make it too easy to buy stuff. and so i'm like, okay, sure. you know, it's not like you have to go to the store and plan your time. like everything's just too convenient. so for me, i'm like, i will be participating. >> and aren't you so scared to linger on the video because, you know, the algorithm knows if you even watch it for five seconds, you're going to keep getting that. >> it's the worst. or even if you like, will say, oh, i've been thinking about xyz product and then later you get an ad for it on instagram and you're like, i didn't even google this. the algorithm. >> that freaked me out the first time that started happening. >> oh yeah. >> suddenly you're getting ads exactly what you were just looking at. >> it's weird. >> yeah, i like to think that i'm not strongly influenced to buy these things that i don't need, but it's the convenience of finding something you do want, and you don't have to go to a store and you know, and fool around and fight the

crowds. you can just order it. >> yeah. and unusual items too, that you could spend all day driving around. >> oh my gosh. totally. >> that's true. all right, a scary scene, swinging and crashing 78 stories above ground on a manhattan skyscraper. this window washing rig caught momentum in the wind on friday, sending two workers swinging out of control for about 15 minutes. glass rained down on the sidewalk below. fire officials rushed to secure the rig and rescue the guys through a window. they were not seriously injured and as i believe i heard, they were not harnessed in, which made it even more treacherous. this is not a profession if you're afraid of heights, spencer. >> i'm afraid of heights. that is not the profession for me. not at all. >> you know what i mean? obviously, in major cities like new york, they're doing this all the time on these scaffolds. it's interesting that it does. and thankfully it doesn't happen more often. right. because it, you know, was. >> it due to the wind? >> was it was the wind. the wind was pushing them around. >> and oh my gosh. yeah. that looks like a bad disneyland ride to me. yeah. my stomach would

drop immediately. that's terrifying. i'm glad they're okay. >> yeah, it does have a kind of a tower of terror quality, right? >> literally. oh, gosh. i hate to laugh at it, but. >> but they're okay. that's. >> yeah. >> that's good. and the thing kept swinging back and smashing windows. yeah. into the sky. >> they're lucky too. they didn't get any glass injuries. it sounds like oh my goodness. >> they were hurt. too bad. >> i don't get why they weren't harnessed. that is very weird. and i don't get why we don't see more of that coming out of new york city. they have so. many skyscrapers. right. all right. just

watches on in big bear, where two nesting eagles have three eggs. there they are. so far, two pips have been spotted. if you don't know, a pip is what forms. as the chick begins to exit the egg courtesy of its trusty egg tooth. but it can still be a while before the chick is actually hatched. reporter rob hayes, from our sister station in los angeles is on the story. >> so far, 2025 has been a good year for the eagles. eagles. no, not those guys. the real eagles. big bear valley's jackie and shadow, the internet's hottest power couple who can now tell the world gladys knight isn't the only one with pips. >> there are now two eggs of the three that jackie and shadow laid this year have pips in them. >> sandy spears runs friends of big bear valley, the group that

scaled a 14 story tall pine tree and mounted a webcam. when the gives the world a bird's eye view of america's most majestic birds. and these right here, those cracks and holes in the eggs. those are the pips showing that future bald eagles are eagerly working their way out. >> the chick has a has an egg tooth right at the top of their beak. they have to push that egg tooth against the hard shell and keep working their way around. and apparently, since they can hear each other, they kind of encourage each other and it might happen faster than usual. >> now, even though the third egg is showing no signs of hatching, it's only 34 days old, younger than the other two. so another chick may debut a little later. jackie and shadow already have three other eaglets in their family, so they could double their offspring this time around. steers says part of their global popularity is their unique personalities and modern day parenting skills.

>> they both take turns on the nest, and they both want to be on the nest as much as possible. they will actually do little tricks on each other and fight over. no, it's my turn. no, it's my turn. >> now. steer says hatching takes anywhere from one day to three days, so now is the time to dial into that webcam. and with two eggs in the process, it is now fair to say pip pip! hooray! >> yes, that's a good way to say it. yes. good. >> rob hayes, abc seven news. >> that is cute. pip pip! hooray! all right. now, as during the time that piece was airing, look there at the top of your screen. the other eagle has landed. crystal. >> oh, my gosh, why are we so fascinated by the bird watches? >> i don't know. >> the live cam. >> it's such a unique vantage point. you see it up close and watch the process as. >> it are. and it looks like the weather is lovely out there. >> it is a little breezy, though. i noticed it's. >> been pretty gusty throughout

the afternoon, and the winds will really taper off much until later this evening. i want to show you a beautiful live camera shot right now from the east bay hills camera. a little study in contrast here with the dark cloud descending and the reflection of the sunlight off the bay. water is just. just a beautiful shot. so let's move on. take a look at our futurecast animation for the overnight hours as clouds increase going into early tomorrow morning, get some light rain or drizzle sweeping through. should be out of here by mid afternoon. so these are our forecast features for tonight. low clouds and overnight lows mainly in the mid to upper 40s. highs tomorrow only in the upper 50s to around 60 as we have lots of cloud cover. tomorrow the sun may break through once or twice and of course we expect some drizzle and light rain. looking at the accuweather seven day forecast, steadier, more significant rain on wednesday, but only a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. then on friday saturday, sunny skies turning warmer. but then the weekend ends with some clouds moving in, light rain continuing into monday. kristen. >> all right. thank you so

much spencer. >> strong winds are in the forecast for new orleans tomorrow, and that's prompting city officials to pare down mardi gras celebrations. several parades have been canceled, and at least two others are planning shorter routes with no bands or marchers. tomorrow's fat tuesday festivities capped off the mardi gras season, and then lent begins on wednesday. >> all right. have you watched hulu's hit series paradise? >> no, not yet, but if you have, you know about the idyllic community that's not so idyllic. just ahead, the researcher and scholar who helped bring that

the bachelor, followed by the secret lives of mormon wives at ten. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. hulu's hit show paradise is set in an idyllic community that was conceptualized with the help of technical experts. scholar jonathan weiss helped showrunners develop this seemingly perfect society that turns out to be not so perfect. >> what's really powerful about the show is how it visualizes a lot of these themes that social scientists have been thinking and writing about, and makes it so visceral. i'm jonathan mays, and i was a technical consultant on the new hulu hit series paradise. so we're at boston university, where i work. i'm an assistant professor in the department of sociology here. so

the plot of the show is the president is murdered and the secret service agent who's responsible for the president's security is confronted with this and is trying to figure out what happened. >> oh, good up there, boss. >> yeah. no. hang on, i need a second. >> but this story takes place in a setting that is sort of a planned community. this perfect paradise of a community. and we learn more about exactly what that community is and how it came about. so i'm a technical consultant on the show, which means that i was a resource to the writers room, to the creators of the show to help them substantiate their writing in research. i believe i was discovered by dan fogelman and the creators of the show through a ted talk i gave on the topic of inequality. he reached out to me and was curious about having a conversation not just about inequality, but to try to kind of think of what a truly a kind

of a perfect society would look like. so i put together a lot of social science research in a report to the to the writers room, and i've engaged with them in all sorts of questions about what roles in society do people take? how would one go about creating a perfect community? questions like that. i do think that it's really powerful when a show like this engages with subject matter experts to ground what we're seeing happening and unfolding in the show. in reality, i think every good television series and this in particular holds up a mirror to our society. i hope the viewers just enjoy watching this really powerful story, but i also hope that it makes them reflect maybe a little bit about what a perfect community would look like. and what about this community in paradise may look perfect, but turns out to be quite the opposite from it.

>> the season finale of paradise is tomorrow, but you can catch up on the season right now on hulu. disney is the parent company of hulu and abc seven. that's it for abc seven news at four. i'm kristen z. abc seven news at five is coming your way next.
