There is a proposal that would avoid the shutdown but now the question is can Republican House speaker Kevin Mccarthy find a compromise . On capitol hill today the speaker emphasized the need to pass the Border Security package as part of any deal. Mccarthy suggested President Biden could solve the crisis at the southern border, a Sticking Point for those hardline republicans. Securing the border, the president is willing to do that. We will continue to fund the government to finish the rest of the job. Instead of worries about the rubiks cube, how he holds on to power, if he does whats right for the country, i think that will be good politics. Reporter thats ro khanna there.

This is casting a large shadow over one of the biggest events, fleet week, set to start on monday. Here is ian cull. Reporter two of the most visual parts of fleet week could be sunk if congress and the president cant come to an agreement. My brother, my father, they were all in the navy. Fleet week has something for our family. It would be a damn shame for them to shut it down. Reporter event organizers say theyre in limbo with no clear answers, but we do know a similar Government Shutdown forced the cancellation of fleet week in San Francisco and new york ten years ago. The navy says this time the ships will already be in place but if a deal isnt made by weekend, there will be no boat tours and the blue angels would be grounded. They are messing with Little People to make their point. Come on, guys, get it together. Reporter the general manager of r.

Small businesses shut their doors for two hours to send a stark message to the city from Jack London Square to chinatown saying crime is threatening their very survival. The strike comes days after the city admitted to missing a deadline for applying for millions of state dollars. Nigel jones helped organize the strike. His business was burglarized for the fourth time in three years. This time they broke through the front door and took our Cash Register and 3,500 in damages. The only thing that will make a dins is numbers and attention. From 10 00 to noon, jones and other Business Owners gathered outside lecheval, they recently announced theyre closing for good at the end of the week. No immediate comment on the strike from city hall. A San Francisco supervisor is pushing a plan to boost Police Patrols in the city. Hes the challenger for mayor breeds office. The ordinance would ask to promote more bike and foot patrols and come up with strategies. He says having more cops on the street could deter crime and build trust in neighborhoods. Its not to saying youre not seeing foot patrols in San Francisco. Its not happening evenly. Its not happening in every corner, not happening on a consistent basis. Only the chief can decide how the officers are deployed but they can urge strategies. San francisco wants to force people to undergo drug treatment in order to receive welfare money. It would require lowincome residents to undergo drug testing and treatment for benefits. Those who refuse would be denied cash assistance. Approved by the board of supervisors. Matt dorsey spoke at the News Conference in support. However, board president aaron peskin disagrees. No more anything goes without accountability. No more handouts without accountability. So in order to get resources from our city, you will need to be in a Substance UseDisorder Program and consistently seeking treatment. She cant find the way to prevent several hundred brazen criminals from selling deadly drugs, how do we think shes going to find the resources to drug test thousands of welfare recipients . It would only apply to those for single adults between 1865 including homeless and former homeless. There are currently 5,200 people in the program. Feeling targeted by thieves, target is closing three Bay Area Stores for good. The Big Box Retail store says its impossible to keep the stores safe and profitable. Its beefed up security, even locked up items so theyre not easy to steal but nothing has been enough to deter thieves. They say theyve made the tough choice to close stores in four states. Target is closing on broadway, the San Francisco target on folsom, and the store on century boulevard in pittsburgh. Shoppers say theyre disappointed but they see shoplifting all the time. There is a lot of crime with people running out with products, and security cant do anything. Thats sad stores have to close because of crime around here. Sometimes i dont even feel safe shopping. You never know what they will have or will do. The mayor of pittsburgh says the city has been working closely with target to tackle the problem and the city is even opening a substation in that very Shopping Center next week. The three stores will close october 21st. Now despite major retailers like target closing shop, smash and grab videos going viral, theft is affecting the bottom line in businesses as much as you think. The National Retail federation has released new data that Shows Retailers lost 112 billion in inventory in 2022 that includes losses from theft and damage. The year before that number was 94 billion. External theft, which includes organized retail crime reported as the largest source of loss last year at 36 . That number, though, is down from 37 in 2021. Retailers say its not necessarily the losses theyre worried about but the increased violence that comes with it. Up next, another challenger has entered the race.

The Writers Strike reached 148 days, one of the longest disputes in hollywood history.

Now we should tell you comcast, the Parent Company of nbc universal, is a member of that alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers and was involved in the negotiations. Hes a billionaire, a philanthropist, heir to the levis family fortune, and now daniel lurie wants to be the mayor. He announced his candidacy. While lurie has never held an Elective Office he has held a position for 15 years. He called a delay in dealing with the citys hopeless encampments and pledged to hire more Police Officers if elected. Some picketers outside todays event who described themselves as mayor breeds supporters voiced skepticism to luries qualifications. People are tired of the politics of the day where people are just finger pointing and making excuses. They want things done, and i will get things done. Were even. When the violence was taking place in the community, were even. I know mayor breed has been on the frontline. I can speak to that. Lurie is now the second challenger to mayor london breed.

Some thunderstorms in chicago and louisville, also more storms in orlando. And look out for the heat. Phoenix back at 106 and dallas there at 94. Okay, when it comes to our bay area forecast, we knew this system could kick up the wind by friday and saturday. The way the storm system is positioning, it would be a little bit more over the pacific. And when that happens with storm systems, when they develop, it helps to bring in moisture, so we do think there will be a spotty rain chance once we hit saturdays forecast. Totals for us not very high. Trace amounts to 0. 2 of an inch. The blue color corresponding with the key at the top. Half to threequarters in the sierras. I dont think it will ruin your whole weekend. Certainly sunday will be the best day of that incoming weekend.
