In napa, Wayne Freedman, abc 7 news. Now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. Well, its been another hazy and mild and dry day in the bay area and we have declining air quality. Heres a look at live doppler 7. Part of that reason for that haze is the smoke coming up in our direction from the Southern California fires.

This is a view from our rooftop camera looking out over the bay. A beautiful afternoon. Tmperature right now 66 degrees in San Francisco. Only 59 across the bay in oak lavn oakland. Mid to upper 60s at Mountain View, san jose, gilroy and half moon bay. This is a view of the colorful western sky from the emeryville camera. Its 62 degrees right now in santa rosa.

Nearly two dozen teenagers and young adults are challenging the u. S. Government over climate change. If successful, the case could force the government to develop a plan to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. Abc 7 News Reporter leanyanne melendez has te in ens and outse case. Reporter 18 of the 21 young plaintiffs were cheered by supporters outside the 9th Circuit Court of appeal. Their main argument is and has always been the u. S. Government has failed to protect them from climate change. Because our government has done nothing, we are suing the government. We are forcing them into action. Reporter julia olson is their attorney. So this is many administrations building a fossil fuel Energy System that they knew would be catastrophic for the future. Reporter kelsey, now 21 years old, is one of the plaintiffs in the juliana versus the united states. A lawsuit filed in 2015 that was supposed to be heard by the u. S. District court in oregon, but in 2016, that court was asked by the government to dismiss the case. The court refused. The Trump Administration then quickly appealed to the 9th circuit. Good morning, your honors. Eric grant, u. S. Department of justice. Reporter today both sides were heard by the threejudge panel. The hearing was streamed live. Grant argued that congress and the executive branch should be left alone to address the issue of climate change. The subject of this petition is litigation that is distracting the executive branch from the discharge of its constitutional duties. Reporter given its past history, its unlikely the 9th circuit will favor the Trump Administrations request. Instead, allowing the case to be played out in the u. S. District court in oregon. In San Francisco, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. Now, if the 9th Circuit Court denies the governments petition, the case will go to trial in oregon as early as february 5th. Up next, new Sexual Harassment accusations and the call to investigate President Trump. Theyve investigated other Congress Members so i think it only stands fair that he be investigated. Up next, some help for women in the workplace. The new effort to help you earn more money. Well have details. And there may be no such thing as a free ride, but there is free parki im worried. I have this medical bill. Oll, huh . Dave, you have anthem and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help any question you. Is, is he okay . Real people . Living and breathing. Hopefully not breathing like that. For all the things that keep you up at night, Anthem Blue Cross has a solution. Well, you probably heartth heard the statistic that women on average get 79 cents for every 1 a man makes. San Francisco City leaders are launching an effort to help women make the money they already earn. Joining us right now live from city hall is supervisor katesy tang where she actually just wrapped up an event announcing that effort. Supervisor tang, many thanks for you joining us. Thank you for having me. Okay. First and foremost, youre part of this effort to get women into workshops to help them negotiate their own salaries, own benefits. What exactly is that going to look like . Are we talking about Online Support and workshops or is this oneonone and in person . Actually today were kicking off these inperson salary negotiation workshops. We have our first one here at city hall and our goal is to by the year 2020 train 20,000 women in San Francisco and empower them with the tools that the they need to appropriately negotiate for themselves in a workplace whether they are a new graduate from college seeking their first job or theyve already been in the workplace and want to transition to a new job. Yeah, thats such a big goal to have, but so necessary especially because i feel like negotiation can be so difficult, you know, whether youre a man or a woman. You know, men, are they doing Something Different to get the kind of pay that theyre getting . What is it exactly . I think a lot of times women dont feel they have that full value, they dont have the confidence to go and ask for the things that i think that they deserve so i think for myself, personally, when i first was interviewing for my job fresh out of college, i asked for a very low wage not knowing kind of what i was supposed to be asking for, not thinking that i was worth it. And so we really are trying to build the confidence in women and i think that is something that a lo the t of men have confidence in negotiating what they think they deserve. We want with imomen to feel the i couldnt agree more, especially because they dont teach you this type of skill in school. Question, are these workshops just for San Francisco residents or perhaps the women who work in San Francisco but may live somewhere else . I think this soapen open is working in San Francisco, certainly not going to turn people away if they dont live here. Certainly our goal is to train aem empower 20,000 women in San Francisco, again, whether you live or work. We want to help as many women as possible and really this couldnt. A better time for us to kick off this initiative here. Yeah, really looking forward to seeing this be put into place. Supervisor katie tang, thanks so much.

Theyve got apple music which is growing really fast and having this feature where you can basically be, like, at the gym or at the club, like, oh, i want this song, it just helps them make it more convenient and valuable for you. The other thing to keep in mind is google, which makes competing phones called pixel 2, has a feature on the home screen that tells you what music is playing in the background. So it could also be perceived as apple kind of playing a little catchup here. Right. They may be one step behind. Right. Its very possible we could see them building this technology further into the iphone. We dont know. But its possible. Is potentially. How much did they pay for this . So the rumors are that they spent about 400 million which is quite a bit of money. Right . Its a little below what the value of shazam was in the past. But thats the other part of this is that its really lard to hard to be a middleman in selling music. Who makes that much money in this type of space . Shows its a little hard for them. There are competitors, and so its going to be interesting to see what happens with them, going down, because you got google and apple going at it together. Well see whether theres a third party that can make it work. Is shazam the market though . So show sam has even if theyre using another app, they always think of shazam. Like you, it blew me away when i first tried it, the technology is neat, you can be anywhere and hold up your phone and find out what the tune is. Your point is, i find out what the tune is and download it right away from apple. Right, right. Or whichever store youre using. I think it shows the power of what a computer can do these day. Right . Its taking that music, turning it into a fingerprint and matching against the database. That type of technology didnt exist 20 years ago. Right. What weve been able to do with that none of this existed. Practically, right . Theyve been able to do this also with videos and all sorts of other stuff. Its incredibly powerful and interesting to see it work. How is the Music Industry changing because of technology, or how is Technology Changing the Music Industry and the way we get our music . A lot of it is about streaming. Used to be cds that we also paid 18, 20 bucks for then it went into downloads and itunes took over the world. Now were in the streaming world. Thats people like spotify, apple, all these other people who are doing it. That just blowing up, the way that it works. To the point you have artists like taylor swift who purposely remove their music from streaming for a little while so they can get those downloads and those cds before they let it on and get the less amount of money out of streaming. Thats where everyone is going at this point. Thats the future. Its the current. Its where everyones going. Boy, that changes fast, too, the Music Industry. Very fast. Just like tech. Last question, whats the hot item for christmas this year . You know, its really interesting, youve got definitely everyones looking at the phones, right, you got the google phone that came out, you got the iphone, youve got samsung. The other thing a lot of people are looking at is this nintendoo switch, mobile video game conso console. Getting a lot of attention, selling well. Its interesting because nintendo struggled for a long time now theyre doing well. Ian, thanks for being here. My pleasure. Always great to have you. While were talking about tech, apps like shazam changed our lives and today theyre getting recognition because its national app day. There are now more than 2 million apps on both apple and android platforms and thousands more are introduced nearly every day.
