>> the president announced a set of nine different sanctions. the treasury secretary has designated two russian individuals for using cyber- enabled means. 35 russian diplomats have now been ordered to leave the country including those in san francisco. >> two diplomatic compounds related to russian intelligence gathering are be closed, one in maryland and one in new york. they will be shattered at noon. releasing classified technology. >> in a statement, president obama said "these actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the russian government and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm u.s. interests." >> the russian foreign minister reacted to the new sanctions calling them counter productive adding they will harm the restoration of ties between russia and the u.s. >> the obama administration deputy press secretary eric schultz says it's too soon to tell what will happen when president-elect donald trump takes office. >> today's actions are executive actions and if, for example, throwing out 35 senior russian intelligence officials that the next president thought he wanted to welcome back in, 35 senior russian intelligence officials he thought that was a good idea, he'll be able to do so. we don't think that makes a lot of sense. the next president wants to lift sanctions against senior russian intelligence units to make it easier for them to interfere with our elections, he can go ahead and do so. we don't think it will make much sense. >> within the last hour, donald trump issued a statement about the russian sanctions. in a press release from palm beach, florida, the president- elect said "it's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. nevertheless, in the

trickle of activity around lunchtime as staffers were leaving the six-story building. most did not speak english. those who did not speak english will to excellent. one person gave a brief statement, no name, just a brief statement before getting his car and leaving. >> i believe that this is very unfriendly step from the leaving administration. no more comment. thank you. >> it does send a message not just to the russians, but other countries that might try to engage in hacking or other kinds of cyber warfare against the united states that there will be consequences to doing so. >> university of san francisco political scientist dr. steven zunas says the relationship between the united states and russia, soviet union it used to be, but russia, has not been this bad since the reagan administration and in the short term, he does not see a real improvement in this even though donald trump is set to take office on the 20th of next month. i'll explain why about that coming up in the next hour. live outside the russian consulate here in pacific heights section of san francisco, fox 2 news. >> thank you. for continuing coverage of the sanctions against russia and for a look

this, you represent the fruitville district. obviously, the one that has the highest concentration of these lead levels. were you surprised by this report? >> it's been an ongoing issue. i'm -- one, it's been clarified that it's not the actual water that's contaminated, but at the same time in terms of the environment, it's been like that for a number of years. certainly for those of us who grew up in the area, the lead poisoning has been an issue, but the reality is it's a public health issue, it's an environmental issue. from west oakland to east oakland where children, little ones, are being rim packeted when -- impacted when it comes to lead poisoning not only in the places they are living in, the lead paint, but around their homes because it turns into dust and this is where they are playing, doing and impacting their health. >> you mentioned that 25,000 children live in that zip code and that the fruitvale district has children in schools. they can be impacted. >> our responsibility of government is to take care of the children in need. what do we do now? that has had the county and state and the city work together to make sure that we address the living environment, their school settings and the recreational facilities at the same time to make sure we protect our children and that's the bottom line. >> you make a really important distinction. not

city in terms of dealing with your home with the lead paint around it. we're waiting for that response and we're working together. at the end of the day, the federal government does provide us support through hud and hopefully the feds can continue it do that to make sure areas like east oakland, detroit, st. louis and other municipalities that have been industrial cities for a number of years, but yet the contamination continues to be there and our children are paying the price with sacrificing their health. that's the ultimate goal how do we rectify and make sure are children are healthy and continue to develop the city of oakland state and the country and we need to care about our kids in oakland. >> i know in working with the county, you are also hoping to get ahold of a list that has these homes and properties and industrial buildings and -- >> that can be a problem. >> exactly. so the county can continue working towards getting rid of these issues. >> most of all, i think we need

not have to take those. you can say i choose not to take those and they will offer you a prescreening device which is that little instrument they say blow into this. you do not have to take that. you can say no. by implied law in california, impliend consent, when -- implied consent, when they take you to the police station, you have to take blood or breath. the more accurate of those two is
