Seven stores in San Francisco will begin selling Recreational Marijuana for the First Time Ever. The city of San Francisco failed to get the proper permits in place for the new years day deadline. Reporter good morning claudine and alex. Sales here kick off at 8 15. Already the first customer in line. We are also expecting some elected officials to be here on hand as well. The medical cannabis customers were here yesterday. Oakland and san jose launched on january 1st. San francisco, though, lagged behind in this permitting process. Right now there are seven locations to buy in the city, but there will be more in the pipeline. 31 that have applied at this point in time. So those applicants or submissions are all eligible to receive adult use, we are working to ensure that they are meeting the mandates. Reporter among those mandates, San Francisco has Good Neighbor policies. Security plans need to be in place. Cannabis businesses will have to demonstrate how they are providing opportunities to underrepresented communities. We said before, the first customer in lime. Dom, we talked with you.

I see a lot of people before me that advocated this for many, many years and decades. Its finally here. I am here for them. They cant be here, they passed away. I think its a great cause, you know . Reporter all right. Thanks. We will see you inside a little bit later on. He said its an historic day, the first day that they have Recreational Cannabis sales in San Francisco. A final note. Keep in mind that San Francisco has imposed a 25 tax on cannabis sales on top of the already existing 15 sales tax. Now that its legal, you can tax it. Yep. I am wondering, christien, if the lines will be shorter because maybe some people who didnt want to wait will have gone to other areas. Right. They could have made their way to the east bay by this time . Reporter that will be interesting to see. It certainly is shorter. I was over in oakland on the first day of sales on january 1st and i could tell you there was more than 100 people or so in line. I think that there will be a line here. People will want to celebrate the fact that cannabis sales are legal in San Francisco. I dont think we are going to see that same rush that we saw on the first day on january 1st. All right. Christien, thank you very much. North bay lawmakers say there are lessons to be learned from octobers wine country fires. Many residents complained they received little to no warning about the fire and evacuations. Lawmakers have drafted a bill that creates a protocol requiring counties to establish local guidelines for implementing a federal alert system that sends emergency texts to cell phones in the area. Notifications would go out to the texts, family land lines. Family is trying to warn people about a dangerous prank known as swatting. This is when someone makes a hoax 911 call which requires a police s. W. A. T. Team to respond. Two days after christmas, someone made one of these fake 911 calls and gave police the address of a family in hercules. Police from the Hercules Police department and pinole Police Departments responded with guns drawn to that home. A mother, father, two young kids, and her grandparents were home at the time. They had no idea what was going on. Police came in. They handcuffed the father and grandfather while searching the home. Eventually, they let them go after they didnt find anything. The family says they are still traumatized by what happened and they asked we not show their faces. I had guns pointed at my face. We are walking slowly and the police apprehended us and im asking, whats going on . It does look like it was a prank. It certainly meets the criteria of some of the other swatting incidents out there. The Family Says Police did not identify themselves initially, which led to their fear. However, police say they did identify themselves when they arrived at the home. The day after the Hercules Police case, police in wichita, kansas shot and killed an innocent man at his home after he fell victim to a swatting call. An undocumented u. S. Berkeley student is being held at a Detention Center near the new mexico center. His attorney hopes to get him out by monday. It could take months. Hi, guys.

C. E. Said he was taken into custody after Border Patrol agents determined he violated the terms and conditions of a temporary visa he had been issued for period of six months in 2009. He was a child at the time. He didnt really have the resources when he was 18 years old. Reporter cal students with rising immigrant scholars through education started the free luis campaign. They have the help of Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris. Lee tweeted i am deeply concerned. If an expired visa is your biggest crime, set an example using luis as a bargaining chip. Its costing you and me 200 a night to house him there when instead he could be out, he could be at school. Reporter she visited him on thursday at the Detention Center. He feels some fear, but he is gaining confidence now that he has legal representation and that he is grateful for the outpouring of support. At uc berkeley, amber lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Three former Santa Clara County jail guards have been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for beating a mentally ill inmate to death. Matthew farris, raff rel rodriguez, and jereh lubrin were convicted of seconddegree murder for killing Michael Tyree. During this trial witnesses described hearing tyree screaming for help as those three guards beat him to death. He was later found dead inside his cell. Tyree was in jail waiting to be sent it a Residential Mental Health treatment facility. I think it was fair. A man was murdered at the hands of these three, and i think that they are held accountable for their actions. This case led to changes inside the Santa Clara County jail. There is now a new use of force policy in place and new training for correctional officers. There are also more cameras up inside the jail and officers also have bodyworn cameras as well. We want to tell you about a 20minute delay on bart right now. Check out the tweet. Bart says there was a person on the track and the delays are affecting multiple lines.

Still some lingering clouds in the south bay with the possibility of sprinkles. We will have more on that coming up in a few minutes. Thanks, mark. 7 14 this morning. President trump is meeting with republicans at camp david. The white house says they are going to discuss priorities for the 2018 year, including the budget, infrastructure, immigration, and we will for reform. One hot topic, whether to extend protections to dreamers. Children brought here as undocumented immigrants. Senator Kamala Harris posted this on twitter about dreamers. Many dave dreamers she says using children who grew up in the country as a bargaining chip to pay for an unrealistic border wall is shameful. We are getting details on the Trump Administrations border wall plan. The Associated Press says the proposal calls for spending 18 billion over ten years. This money would pay for more than 300 miles of new barriers and more than 400 miles of replacement fencing. Money would also be used for towers, surveillance, roads, and staffing. The author of the best selling Controversial Book about President Trump is making explosive comments today. Michael wolff says one of the interesting affects of the book is that is shows President Trump is unfit for the oval office and could end his presidency. The book features reported quotes from current and former trump advisors such as steve bannon who called donald trump jr. s meeting with a russian lawyer treasonous. My credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who ever walked on earth at this point. They never interviewed the president about the book. He begged to speak with the president and was denied access. In a tweet last night, the president slammed wolff. The courts may decide the battle over offshore drilling here in the u. S. The Trump Administration has proposed opening up as much as 90 of the coast to oil and gas exploration. Environmentalists, however, are vowing to fight any such drilling proposal. Governor jerry brown is among a group of west coast governors of accusing the president of ignoring the risk to wildlife. Representatives say drilling will create jobs and energy independence. We have currently 94 of the offshore resources off limits. And this is an opportunity to open up more of those areas to supply growing demand. Offshore drilling is inherently dirty its inevitable there will be an oil spill. The threat of lawsuits is one reason that Major Energy Companies may still be reluctant to change their long term drilling plans. They are also weary that a future Democratic Administration might overturn President Trumps decision. All right. 7 17 on the clock. Rosemary is off today. Mark tamayo has woken up early to join us in studio. Happy to have you here. Thank you. Happy to be here. Happy to talk about a break with the rainfall. These breaks are so important. The first system kind of the year, in fact, over the past few days generating some rainfall here and some rain in the sierra as well that will eventually turn to snow as snow levels come down a bit later today. You can see our live camera looking towards San Francisco. Higher clouds and lower clouds. Some pockets of fog trying to regroup. Here is the radar over the past 18 hours or so. You can see we have some clouds in place. There is a possibility you might encounter some sprinkles or some drizzle. For the most part, we are heading into a break later today and for a good portion of the weekend as you can see. In fact, let me change the radar a bit here. We have some rain and snow showers special towards the southern sierra right now. Coming in closer to the bay area, pretty mild in a few spots. A cool start towards santa rosa. San jose 54. San francisco reporting 51 degrees. As we widen out the view in the pacific, we have a lot happening. We have the storm track developing that will take aim towards the bay area about two days from now. Monday we are watching this system, an atmospheric setting up. That could be the bay area. Here we are. Here is the juan islands. This development right here will be approaching the bay area as we head towards monday. For now we get a break. Our live camera looking towards the bay. There is the Richmond San Rafael bridge and higher clouds we are tracking this morning. We are tracking the next storm. This will be a strong storm heading towards monday. Rainfall a safe range 1. 5 to 3 inches. The coastal hills could have amounts topping 3 inches. Border lined wind advisory 45 miles per hour. The sierra will pick up snowfall up above 7,000 feet, eventually dropping back later monday into tuesday. But this will be somewhat of a major storm developing offshore as we head towards monday. Here we are today. The clouds, the possibility of a sprinkle. Later this afternoon skies becoming partly cloudy. Making outdoor plans on sunday . You should be okay. Expect a few extra clouds throughout the afternoon hours. Then as we head into monday morning, look what happens. You can see the clock moving and this moisture funneling into the bar. This was monday at 6 00. This was monday at 12 00. During this timeframe we could have heavy rain downpours throughout the day. This is the deal we are concerned with a system like this because it can just kind of stall over the bay area, producing intense rainfall for long durations. The models trying to get a better handle on the details of the system. In general, a broad brush description of it, this will produce heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding could be a concern, and of course mudslides in the burn zones as well. San jose 62 ahead. Your fiveday forecast. We get a break. There we go with the stronger storm coming in on monday. Tuesday thankfully the showers will be fading out of the picture later in the day on tuesday. I will say each storm, you know, we have been talking about the possibility of flash flooding in the burn zones, the storms so far have not concerned me at all. But the one coming our way on monday, that does bear some watching. After that dry december . Yeah. I was i keep getting surprised by the continual rain. I think that must be it. Then it just keeps the new year opened the flooding. Thats interesting about weather you get an extreme where its extremely dry and another where we have too much rain. I think if people waited to take off their Christmas Lights . Absolutely. This weekend. Thank you. Well, too big lottery drawings this weekend. We will have more on last nights Mega Millions drawing that made someone an instant millionaire on the peninsula. And more uber and lyft drivers on the road could be a good thing for traffic. Details about the new study that finds ridesharing could be reducing congestion in San Francisco. If you have ever wanted to work in the public sector, today is your chance. San francisco is hosting the first of three city job fairs. Agencies hiring including the recreational parks department, Fire Department and Police Department, sfo, and the postal service. The event runs from 10 this morning to 1 this morning at the joseph Lee Recreational Center on mendell street. There are two more later this month. A study finds that Ridesharing Companies actually help to reduce traffic on the roadways. The Research Group rmi finds they move passengers 20 more efficiently through the streets of San Francisco compared to personal cars. The company excuse me. The study believes that because many cars are carrying multiple passengers, the results are less cars on the roads. Thats even after calculating the cars driving without passengers. The impact of Ridesharing Companies like uber and lyft on traffic certainly has been a hot topic especially here in the bay area. Hp recalling 50,000 laptops that could have melting batteries. There have been three reports of property damage, including one report of a firstdegree burn to someones hand. The batteries are in a variety of laptops and can look like these two that you see on your screen. Hp is asking users to download their validation utility software.

We are here inside the apothecarium giving unique peek. Doors open for customers starting at 9 this morning. We will give you a little bit of a sneak peek. We are here with elliott from the apothecarium. Lets talk about what we can expected to. Are we expecting crowds . This has to be a big day for you guys . We are very excited to welcome our first recreational customers. We are expecting big clouds and a festive atmosphere. Reporter one of the issues this last week is Jeff Sessions says he is rolling back the obama era policies of sort of looking the other way when it comes to cannabis in individual states. Are you expecting that to impact california and San Francisco . You know, today we are just focused on this historic day, this happy day. We are not going to be worried about the feds today. And i dont see to making a major impact on us in the future. Reporter attorneys general in other states have said that they are going to be fighting it. So perhaps we will see the same thing in california. For today you have some lawmakers, you have politicians coming out here this morning, local San Francisco politicians coming out . Thats right. We will have state senator scott wiener and our San Francisco supervisor jeff sheehy here for the ceremony before we open. Reporter you said this came together relatively last minute.

Last night right before the office closed. Weve been rushing to get everything ready for our first recreational customers this morning. Reporter and last thing for me really is the apothecarium has existed as a medical cannabis dispensary in the past. How does that change when you to go to recreational sales . We will still be very focused on our medical patients, but we are looking forward to welcoming recreational customers and walking them through the 400 products that we have for sale, making sure they get something that works for them, that they are going to be happy with. Reporter all right. We will be with you throughout the morning. Thank you for joining us. As you heard, doors open for customers at 9 00 this morning. One final note. Because cannabis is now legal in the state of california, it is taxed just like Everything Else in california. 15 state tax and then here in San Francisco a 25 tax as well. So keep that in mind. Everyone getting a cut. Thank you very much. We will check in with you later. All right. Well, many california pot retailers say the federal crackdown on marijuana will not change the way they do business. On thursday attorney general Jeff Sessions announced he would reverse that decision that allowed u. S. States to legalize marijuana. That announcement came four days after the sale of Recreational Cannabis became legal in california. Many pot club owners, as you heard in christiens report, across california and in the bay area openly saying they are defying the Trump Administrations policies. We certainly intend to keep on with our operations. We are a state licensed locally supported, fully compliant cannabis business. Similar reactions are being seen in other states. Marijuana is now legal for Recreational Use in eight states and the district of columbia. Pot is illegal under federal law. It is classified in the same category as heroin. The man acquitted in the murder of kate steinle has been sentenced for being a felon in possess of a firearm. He was sentenced to three years in jail for that gun charge linked to steinles death in 2015. Now, with credit for time served, he will not serve any more jail time. Felony gun possession was the only conviction to come out of that sixweeklong trial. Zarate now faces federal charges for being an undocumented immigration in possession of a firearm. His attorney, however, says that they will be fighting that charge, saying it amounts to double jeopardy. Acting San Francisco mayor london breed wants the job permanently. I am here to get my paperwork to run for mayor of San Francisco. Ktvu was at city hall on friday when she asked for the candidate application. She was named acting mayor after the uncan thed unexpected death of ed lee last month. I want to make sure that we deliver on a promise to support all of our residents, that we deliver on a promise to address issues around homelessness, mental illness, and what we are seeing in terms of the quality of life on our streets. Breed joins a growing list of candidates who announced they are running in the special election. Now the board of supervisors must decide whether to name a caretaker mayor to serve until june since breed is currently serving as mayor and president of the board of supervisors. Breed says she will support whatever decision the board reaches. A 23year veteran of the richmond Police Department is planning to appeal his dismissal from the force. He was fired on thanksgiving eve. This was in connection to a misconduct investigation. It focused on a leaked Police Report that included the show briety of a city councilman on the night he was robbed. He is accused of lying to investigators. The denies those charges and he says the accusations are devastating to him. The investigation is ongoing and officials would not discuss the matter since it is a personnel issue. A panel of independent Safety Experts is criticizing the state and operators of the oroville dam. The safety Group Released a report examining last years spillway crisis. Reporter it ignored structural problems and warnings, calling it a long term systemic failure. After the 3,000 foot spillway failed in early february, things got a lot worse when operators switched to the emergency spillover. Immediately that uncontrolled water started eroding the dams face, causing a potential failure of the dam. The authors of the report held a teleconference saying dwr is hardly along among the agencies that inspect dams nationwide. Look at its organization to improve many of those recommendations applied to other dam owners also. Reporter now, thats scary because of the enormity of the responsibilities listed on its own website. Dwr protects, conserves, develops, and manages much of californias water supply, including the state water project, which provides water for 25 million residents, farms, and businesses. If the department of Water Resources failed in the operation, inspection, and regulation of its own dam described as a longterm systemic failure, how can we trust the inspection and regulation this very same agency exercises over its own vast other facilities as well as 1249 other dams within the state . This is the nonanswer answer to that direct question i raised. I think, you know, that there the industry, we have noticed specifically its systemic to dwr, the regulators, and the industry, and the vast majority of things that we are finding, things like oroville dont happen very often. Reporter he went on to say that the dwr seems to be doing the best it can and the public should trust its being taken seriously. There is always the possibility that something escapes any program, even a good one. Reporter that, of course, is no comfort to millions living near state regulated dams or millions more depending on the water they provide, and youre paying for it. Tom vicar, ktvu fox 2 news. The director of the department of Water Resources responded to the blistering criticism. They said we will carefully assess this report, share it with the entire dam safety community, and incorporating the Lessons Learned going forward. San jose police have arrested a man accused of sexually assaulting and robbing a middle School Teacher inside her classroom. Police say 23yearold andrew racamonte broke into the campus early on Tuesday Morning before classes started. He is accused of cornering a teacher as she was getting her classroom ready after the holiday break. He sexually assaulted her inside the room and then stole her cell phone and wallet all while threatening to shoot her. I dont think any of us could imagine what that victim went through, and just to be able to cooperate with the police and give us a detailed segment of the horror that she must have felt is just, i dont know, i cant put it into words. Hours after the attack, police say he committed another crime. He has an extensive criminal history and has a prior conviction that includes assault and sex with a minor. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court next week. 7 42. Police and s. W. A. T. Racing to an east bay home after reports of gunshots.

Freezing temperatures are still being felt across the northeast and midwest. Wind chill warnings are in effect from vermont to virginia. In massachusetts, at least 32 coastal communities experienced significant flooding this week. The extreme cold turned streets into blocks of ice and froze cars to the streets. This weekend temperatures are going to be in the Single Digits in some areas, than wind chill could make it feel like negative 20. And commercial flights are starting to recover after hundreds of cancellations and delays yesterday. You are looking at the flightaware misery map, which shows many flights facing delays and cancellation and cancellations today. So if you are flying over the next few days, make sure to check with your airline so you can be aware of cancellations or delays. And the brutal cold has reached all the way to usually warm florida. Off the coast of florida, manatees are having to crowd together in the water just to stay warm. The giant sea mammals are huddling in the water off of sarasota. They are clearly not used to these cold temperatures. There were freeze warnings last night in florida as far south as daytona beach. And hundreds of cold and stunned turtles are being found along the coast of florida and texas. The turtles are getting so cold, they float to the surface and become immobilized. It happens when they are exposed to water lower than 50 degrees. Some may need to have special care and antibiotics. There are teams from the National Parks service and fish and game who are rescuing turtles. They have so far rescued over 1,000 turtles. Clearly, not used to the cold temperatures in the water. Poor turtles. 7 47. You know, the rain is good to see. Also good to see a break. That picture of San Francisco. Its beautiful. Yeah, right . It takes my breath away. Yeah, just looking down at the clouds. It looks like a fairy tale land. Yeah. So the storm clouds moving out. We are looking down above some patchy fog. So if you are in that fog bank, you are not seeing too much. Those clouds will mix out heading into the afternoon hours, and San Francisco right now in the 50s. Most, in fact, most areas in the 40s to the 50s. Take a look. You heard about the very cold temperatures. We have been talking about this it seems like for the past two to three weeks. The cold temperatures, it is 9 below in minneapolis, st. Paul. Zero towards buffalo. Atlanta 27 degrees. You can see all of the storm reports over the past day or so. So that storm system is moving out to the north. Look at all these reports of snow and the freezing temperatures. So widespread, of course, its a major deal towards the northeast especially. For us here in the bay area, we have been tracking the clouds. Some scattered rain showers out there, as well. But those clouds starting to move out of town throughout the day today. We will check in on some current numbers. The cool spot santa rosa at 39 degrees. San francisco 51. San jose 534. Livermore in the upper 40s. As we expand the view out here in the pacific, look whats happening. So here is a system that kind of slowly is moving across california the past couple of days. Here is hawaii. Look at this moisture stream setting up. This will be the next storm heading towards monday. The latest forecast models trending wet we are this guy.

Its up to congress to now pass the dream act now and ensure they can live in the only country they have known.

The book features reported quotes from the current and former trip advisor such as steve bannon, who allegedly called donald trump juniors meeting with a russian lawyer treasonous.

Rec credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on earth at this point. You never interviewed the president about the book.

Energy corporations and representatives say drilling will create jobs and energy independence. We have currently 94 of our offshore resources offlimits and this is an opportunity to open up more of those areas to supply growing demand. Offshore drilling is inherently dirty.
