Sydney. This is a very disturbing incident. We have an armed defender in premises holding an undisclosed number of hostages. The man has forced hostages to raise their arms against the cafe windows and hold up several islamic flags. Experts say the flag is not specific to any terror organization. Even though it has been used by jihadist groups. We dont yet know the motivation of the perpetrator. The takeover of the cafe monday morning spread terror through downtown sydney which is normally packed with Office Workers and tourist. Some customers inside the cafe managed to escape. A woman just shouted out, a gun and people start he running like crazy. Witnesses saw man with a sawed off shotgun. Police pushed bystanders to safety. He yelled at me to get out. I walked towards him and he grabbed me and ushered me quickly around the corner. It is not known how many hostages are inside the cafe. We are at this stage continuing to secure and make sure that were doing all we can to bring this to a peaceful outcome. I have full confidence in the Police Commissioner and the incredible work of the police force. Abc news, new york. To weather now. Another storm reached the bay area tonight.

I had no flooding, no leakage, no anything. I never in a million years thought this o tree would fall. And several days later.

Every country will have to submit a plan for helping Greenhouse Gas emissions. There is no outside review. Environmentalists say thats a problem. We have just seen countries approve a really week decision. So we came in here, it is probably going to be the hottest year on record and what countries have done is theyve taken all of the momentum that we have and they have committed to a path that is not going to give us the clans to have really hardhitting emissions commit them to the next 12 months.

Lets send it over to abc news 7 meteorologist for live doppler hd. The rain is coming. We saw light rain fall in the north bay and part of the peninsula as well, around santa rosa and sfo. Here is a view. Right now looking at nice shot towards downtown San Francisco. Temperatures in the mid and low as. Oakland at 53. Morgan hill down to 49 degrees. And a cooler day tomorrow as well. From the east bay hills were looking over the bay this timeout west towards San Francisco. Pretty good visibility right now. But rain will be spreading overnight. Heaviest around noon tomorrow. And then more rain tuesday, wednesday, and friday. And ill show you the timing and how much you can expect. Radar satellite image shows this cold front moving in so thats going to come in through the overnight hours into tomorrow morning. That storm number one for this week. Then weve got storm number two. This is going to slide south around tuesday afternoon and continuing wednesday. And weve got storm number three this week on friday. Rain fall amounts anywhere from a quarter inch by the end of the day monday. Up to two inches. So two inches in some of the darker green areas. And in San Francisco, we can easily see anywhere from a quarter half inch to maybe up to an inch in some of the urban areas. And also, overnight lows will be milder because of the cloud cover. So look for mid and upper 40s to near 50 degrees. 47 in vallejo. 50 in oakland and 46 in san jose. Tomorrow will be a little bit cooler again. In fact we will struggle to get into the mid 50s and some of the inland areas of vallejo and fairfield. A high of about 51. 56 in San Francisco and in san jose. You saw how the wet weather will be moving in earlier. I want to give you a time lapse over the next week to give you an idea of how much rain you can expect. So Tuesday Morning, one moves through, looks like cloud cover just during morning hours. Then during the afternoon, thats when storm number two moves in possibly a left over shower wednesday morning. But that is wednesday afternoon all the way through thursday. Looks like we have a nice dry break into friday before storm number three comes in late morning and it will hit the north bay still dry in the south bay. This one not as strong so it should be gone by friday night. Making way for a pretty dry weekend saturday into sunday. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. So weve got this storm tonight into tomorrow up to two inches of rain maybe a little bit more and some isolated Higher Elevations areas. More rain likely tuesday afternoon into wednesday but pretty good dry break wednesday afternoon through thursday and into friday, more rain. Friday definite lit weakest system of the week. May maybe maybe about a half kwa in inch. We have good news and bad news. Start with the bad news . Yes. Narrows it down, really. The sun set on 49ers post season with todays loss if seattle. I think the office, head coach, injuries and quarterback issues finally caught up with the niners. This might be the final handshake between these two rivals. Second quarter, frank pounds his way in on fourth down. Niners up 73. But leaving with a concussion. Also left due it an ankle injury. Injuries made them even thinner. Seahawks take 107 lead. 91 yards rushing. Then controversy and third and five and Russell Wilson throws it incomplete. But a call for roughing passer p. This a bad call. Fresh set of downs for seattle. Harbaugh cant believe it. Seahawks make them pay. Two plays later. Wilson. Tenyard td pass. Niners did not score a point in second half. Lose three straight and they are out of the playoffs. It is difficult, i think, thats our expectation that were going to get to the playoffs. And were going to make a run. Regardless of the situation this team will fight and try to win games the best we can. I dont think there is anybody on the team ready to lay down. Cant tell you why we didnt make the playoffs. For me, it is tough. But we will continue to fight. Im proud of these guy ne the locker room. They hammered themselves today. We did fall short and i think everybody fought today. Tough to listen to.
