are not going to stop the fight. >> seven women claiming they were sexually assaulted by former windsor mayor dominic foppoli holding a news conference with their attorneys outside the sonoma county civil and family courthouse. the accusers say they're disappointed by last month's decision by attorney general rob bonta. not to file criminal charges against foppoli due to lack of evidence in the case. >> we are shocked that even with the large number of women from all over the globe who have come forward, that this is still not considered enough for a criminal criminal conviction, these women trusted in the police department and the attorney general's office to do their job prosecuting these crimes. >> and unfortunately, the criminal justice system failed these women foppoli resigned from office three years ago after multiple women came forward with sexual assault allegations. >> the scandal rocking the small wine country community. >> this has been so hard, reality tv personality farrah

abraham says foppoli drugged and sexually assaulted her in florida in 2021. next time you're offered wine or anything to drink, think about the sexual predator that may be behind the bottle. protect yourself. other women recorded statements of their trauma. >> i fight with myself and it was stupid. i must have fed to let him hurt me for so long. >> did you assault any of these women? >> absolutely not. >> people telling us last month the encounters were consensual. in a new statement, he said in part, there needs to be consequences to crying wolf and attempts to ruin the lives of innocent people based on coordinating false stories about an individual. the truth will eventually come out. after today, i'm seriously considering filing a lawsuit against these false accusers for slander and defamation. foppoli now lives in italy and says he's engaged to be married this summer. he's considering a return to sonoma county politics in 2025. we're dealing with the arrogance and

the narcissism of somebody who thinks he's the victim, attorneys say a civil lawsuit against foppoli is now moving forward in sonoma county. cornel bernard, abc seven news. >> in the north bay, seven people, including one child, are safe after they were rescued from an overturned boat in tomales bay, marin county firefighters say they were clinging to the boat as it capsized around three yesterday afternoon. all of the victims were taken to the hospital with minor injuries because of cold exposure. federal regional and local agencies helped with this rescue. as we head to break now, let's check in with francis. how's it looking outside? >> it is looking like things are starting to clear up. we have a live view for you outside from our exploratorium camera looking at downtown san francisco. we have some clouds right now, but it is breaking up and a few spotty showers are expected throughout the rest of the day. and then we have temperatures warming up midweek. and i'll show you that with the accuweather seven day foreca. >> francis thank you. also ahead

, longer response times. that's the concern as the south bay loses a trauma center this summer. the new report from santa clara county and california lawmakers take a stand against ticketmaster with the new proposal could mean,

our camera looking over san francisco. we have less rain and storm today and drier days ahead. francis will have her full forecast coming up. new details about the impact of closing one of the only trauma centers in the south bay regional medical center in san jose, plans to close its trauma services in august. the hospital says it's not getting enough patients. a new report by santa clara county medical services agency says the closure will mean longer wait times for ambulances, especially north and east of regional medical center. that's because ambulances will now have to travel farther just

to drop off patients. two trauma centers will remain in the south bay after this closure. in the east bay now. multiple drivers crashed into two fire trucks in separate incidents. firefighters in walnut creek say a driver smashed into a fire engine, blocking off the scene of an earlier accident. it happened on 680 near olympic boulevard around ten yesterday morning. four firefighters went to the hospital to be evacuated, evaluated. that is contra costa fire says the people in the car thatit the truck are in critical condition at this hour. the same thing happened again on 680 between fremont and sunol firefighters there say two different drivers smashed into their fire engine. one of the drivers was hurt, but the firefighters are thankfully okay. school leaders in oakland are under pressure from budget problems and strike threats. this week they took a step to solve those issues, but it could mean console dating and closing certain schools. the oakland unified school board voted to

set up metrics to help figure out which schools to shut down. the guidelines are supposed to make sure closures don't hurt vulnerable students. usd is in negotiations with several unions and wants to give raises. they can't do that without budget cuts and consolidating schools could free up money. >> there is a lack of teachers across the district, so our principals are having to do 2 to 3 times the amount of work to get to keep our schools running and keep our keep our students learning. >> this morning, usd is not expected to share a list of potential campus closures until the fall. california lawmakers have introduced a bill that could challenge ticketmaster. oakland assembly member buffy wicks introduced the measure, which would allow multiple companies to sell the first official tickets. currently, ticketmaster is the only primary seller. the goal is to have more ticket buying options that could possibly push lower ticket prices. other companies like stubhub and seatgeek typically

get resale tickets. >> ticketmaster controls 80% of the primary ticket sales in the united states. this lack of competition or otherwise known as a monopoly, hurts consumers. >> officials say ticket prices have gone up 140% since live nation and ticketmaster merged in 2010. ticketmaster responded in a statement saying, quote, we support reforms to improve ticketing, but ab 2808 will not do that. it will instead undermine the efforts of artists, sports teams and primary ticketing companies to minimize ticket scalping. well, if you couldn't tell superbloom season is here and boy is it beautiful. poppies are popping up in the east bay along with some lavender you see there. there are several good places to see all these wildflowers, and that includes table mountain near chico, sugarloaf state park and sonoma county, and skyline ridge preserve on the peninsula.

experts say it won't rival last year's super bloom, but it will be a pretty spectacular season thanks to a lot of rain. and we have more of that rain coming today. not as much, though, as yesterday. frances pretty scattered today, would you say? >> yeah, definitely scattered spotty showers. we did get about a 10th of an inch in san francisco this morning. not much rain in the north bay since midnight, but there are also a few hundredths of an inch in parts of the east bay and some trace amounts, and we could get just a little bit more. so we'll start off with live doppler seven and show you we have some light green. that's a light rain falling on the lower part of the peninsula right now, along 280 from woodside down to the los altos hills. it could be a little slick as you drive there. this morning. and right now temperatures are mostly in the 40s. san francisco 47, as we show you a live view from sutro, we can actually see the downtown san francisco area and the bay bridge. oakland across the bay

is 46. san jose, though, is at 50 right now, and half moon bay is cool at 46 degrees from emeryville. we're looking out towards the bay bridge. some cooler temperatures in parts of the north bay, like santa rosa, 44 degrees, petaluma 45, and livermore is also down to 44 degrees as it is a bit cooler compared to yesterday, especially in in fairfield about ten degrees cooler compared to yesterday. at this time. and that's because we have a bit of a land breeze. the winds coming in from the northeast, gusting up to even 24 miles in napa, 16mph in fairfield. and it's also pretty breezy at sfo and half moon bay, gusting to 24 miles. here is what you can expect with the headlines today. so still some spotty showers. as you can see, it's windy right now. then tomorrow is going to be dry and warmer and then get ready for a warming trend. tuesday through thursday with plenty of sunshine and temperatures climbing well above average. so the futurecast shows

at 7:00 this morning, notice we start to just get a lot of cloud cover around the bay. but in the north bay we could get some light rain falling through ukiah and cloverdale. and then there's that pink and white, some snow possible in the highest elevations. and notice by noon it really breaks up. we could get a shower here and then after that, into this evening it's going to be pretty dry. so we're maybe going to get a few hundreds of an inch in some spots, maybe a quarter of an inch when we get a shower. moving through your neighborhood. and highs today a little bit warmer with less cloud cover, temperatures closer to 60 degrees for almost everybody, milder in san jose at 64 degrees. also for tonight, temperatures will be a bit milder. we'll see lots of upper 40s in san francisco, san mateo, and palo alto, all near 47 degrees cooler, though in the north bay. santa rosa, 41 degrees. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. so we have spotty showers today.

storm level one. it's going to really dissipate though in the next few hours. and by lunchtime you can pretty much put the umbrella away. partly cloudy tomorrow. sunny and warmer on tuesday. notice the 70s return to our forecast and the warming continues on wednesday and thursday. that will be the warmest day of the week, so it's looking good. stephanie. >> sounds pretty nice. frances thank you. when we return whale protection along the bay area coastline, how a new tool could be used to save endangered mammals on the that feeling you get when you can... du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids.

the marine mammal center to install a system of acoustic buoys off our coast. the system can detect migrating whales, warning ships in the area to slow down to avoid deadly collisions on the west coast. >> what we do is we couple that vessel analytics, surveying and tracking how vessels are paying attention to the slow speed zones that the government puts out for whale safety, as well as also tracking the whales. >> he says the whale safe system also relies on satellites and massive databases to track the movement of ships as well, and on the east coast, the information could be critical for an endangered species known as the north atlantic right whale, whose population has now dwindled to the hundreds. >> and they're already sitting on the edge. this precipice of extinction. and to that gets scary. and that's where tools like this them come through and we hope will help make a difference for their survival. >> similar data also drives a voluntary vessel speed reduction program. that's benefiting the

bay area environment in several ways. jessica morton is with noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. she says over the last year, their effort, known as protecting blue whales and blue skies, not only cut the risk of ship collisions, but also the amount of dangerous air pollution, and we end up seeing tens of thousands of metric tons of regional greenhouse gas reductions when they slow down to these target speeds of ten knots or less, nearly three dozen major shipping companies now participate in the voluntary program, and researchers are hoping that similar cooperation will ultimately help protect threatened whale populations worldwide. >> and nobody wants to run over whales. and none of these companies do so. they genuinely also are looking for that information so they can help become part of the solution. >> in san francisco. spencer christian, abc seven news. when the blue whales and blue skies program started, it offered financial incentives to shipping companies. >> but the noaa, the noaa rather are now telling that the

shippers are now reducing speed voluntarily in sensitive areas without being compensated. coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, threats continue after iran's unprecedented attack on israel, the vows now coming from the white house. plus, we're hearing more from the students seen in this viral video. her message after a protest disrupted a private party

tensions are sky high this morning. good morning everybody. we will continue to follow that developing news out of the middle east. but first your forecast, it is cold out there this morning frances. >> it definitely is chilly. still feels a little bit like winter. and here's why. we have this area of low pressure. and you can see it circulating counterclockwise. it's starting to make landfall and it's going to continue pushing east. as it does. it will break up and you'll still see some scattered showers, mainly during the morning hours. right now we have some light rain, maybe some little patches of rain falling in parts of the east bay. we had some on the lower part of the peninsula just a little bit earlier, so we're still in a level one storm for today. most of it will happen this morning with spotty showers, a slight chance of thunderstorms, and snow is also possible on our highest peak, so the future cast shows that 7:00 730 this morning. notice some light rain falling up towards ukiah and cloverdale. pretty dry around the bay area, possibly some light rain down towards gilroy,

it carried out, that attack on april first. this morning, we're hearing from two bay area scholars specializing in international relations. abc7 news reporter anser hassan has their perspective on the ongoing tension. >> iran's retaliatory attack on israel in response to the bombing of its embassy in syria was a restrained response. as professor lizette pool, they could have done something worse, i'm sure. >> i mean, they have a whole arsenal of stuff. they could have chosen another military response, but they chose something that was that did not put them in, put bodies in, in the mix. >> pool teaches journalism at cal state east bay. she spent almost two decades reporting from the middle east for the associated press and the london times. israel hasn't claimed responsibility, but the pretext, pool argues, is for iran's support of hezbollah. the april 1st embassy bombing killed seven members of iran's revolutionary guard, including two generals.

that triggered iran's attack. >> they've been provoked. israel invades the sovereign space of an arab country and then hits an embassy in that country. what do they think was going to happen? do you think iran was not going to retaliate? >> iran was one of the first muslim countries to recognize the state of israel. but relations ended following the 1979 islamic revolution. pool says tensions increased as the u.s. was working towards a deal with iran over its nuclear program. >> but israel, under netanyahu would not accept that and kept angling for, you know, friction with iran under the guise that iran supports, palestinian resistance. >> iran called the attack true promise, which professor sashikumar says was a message

for the iranian people. >> and by having a military response to that attack by israel, they are telling their people that they are defending their sovereignty and ensuring their security. >> she says iran's response was calculated as to not invoke a military response from the united states, and made it very clear that this was the end of its military operation. >> and they've, now basically forced israel to take the next step of escalation if they choose to. >> still, israel is promising a response. sashikumar points out. this escalation could lead the middle east into something even bigger if this current crisis is not handled very, deftly, this could lead to the development of a nuclear weapon by iran in self-defense. and then there would be nothing that would prevent israel from declaring openly that they have, nuclear weapons capability as well. and then you would have a openly nuclearized middle east in san francisco, anser hassan abc
