proposals would have gutted the measure. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez spoke with him about whether this is the end of the road. >> the fight over who controls self-driving taxis on city streets continues. state senator dave cortez pulled his senate bill 915 this week after the assembly committee on transportation presented major amendments. the bill would allow cities and counties to install their own regulations around autonomous vehicles. >> local mayors, a local city council members. they know their community. they meet every tuesday. they pass the laws every week. they pass new policies every week. we can't do that in sacramento. >> so right now, only the dmv is allowed to issue permits to av companies and has the authority to revoke permits if an av is not safe on public roads. all local fire and police is directed by cities and counties, not the state and yet the dmv is authorizing waymo to go into

cities like san francisco and now 22 other jurisdictions. just last month, waymo announced they will be expanding fully autonomous driving down the peninsula to sunnyvale. i spoke with tech expert ahmed bonafe, who expected the proposed bill would fail and said giving local control to cities could be complicated. >> we have only sometimes one street that will separate one. one town from another, one city from the other city. so what's going to happen if i would like to take the robotaxi from this city to the other city, and the other city has different rules or different restrictions? >> reporter on wednesday, the autonomous vehicle industry association released this statement. we are encouraged that sb 915 will not move forward. fortunately the legislature understood the bill would have prevented safety and accessibility opportunities for millions of californians. senator cortez said this is not the end of the bill. something similar will be reintroduced in

january, and he expects by this time next year it won't face so much resistance. >> we're not here to ban robotaxi. i'm from silicon valley, you know, we're here to embrace technology, but we just want to make sure it's safe in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> developing news out of north korea, kim jong un and russian president vladimir putin have announced a new bilateral deal that's raising concerns with the us and our allies. the deal includes a promise of immediate military assistance in the event that either country faces war. observers say this is the strongest connection between moscow and pyongyang since the end of the cold war. and this morning, there are increasing tensions between the white house and israel over the war in gaza. gloria has gotten so serious, the white house canceled a meeting with israel officials that was supposed to happen today. >> that's right. reggie. officials from both countries were trying to make that meeting happen in washington, d.c. today , but it was called off after prime minister benjamin netanyahu shared a video

accusing the united states of withholding weapons from israel during world war two. >> churchill told the united states, give us the tools, we'll do the job. and i say, give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster. >> the biden administration was outraged by the comments, saying they were, quote, beyond the pale. they pointed out that only one shipment of bombs has been delayed over concerns they might be used in densely populated areas of gaza, despite the meeting being called off today, two israeli officials are still traveling to washington for a separate meeting. why don't we shift gears and talk about the weather? drew first day of summer today. how's it looking out there? >> believe it or not, gloria, we change seasons this afternoon at 150, we will say hello to summer. it is the longest day of the year, meaning we have the most daylight nearly 15 hours of daylight today. and with this solstice means the sun's direct rays are over the tropic of cancer. so as we head towards the first full weekend of summer

out down the street. and as people gathered, that's when shots were fired and you could see all the police activity right here. at least four people were shot and taken to local hospitals and others were injured. oakland police do not believe that anyone has died from their injuries. they say they had a strong presence in the area because of the holiday. >> and i can tell you we had 28 officers and four sergeants out here, so we had a full detail monitoring this event because we knew events were going to happen and we wanted to make sure people had a safe time. but unfortunately that did not happen. >> no suspects have been arrested in the shooting, but one person was arrested for assaulting a police officer while officers were trying to direct people to a safe area. after the shooting, oakland police are asking anybody with any photos, videos or any information to contact them. kumasi >> thank you gloria. new information this morning about san francisco mayor london breeds efforts to bring a university campus downtown. not working out, at least for now.

the university of california tells the examiner that because of their current financial situation, they are not considering a new campus or any new facilities in san francisco right now. but they're still open to the idea in the future. you might remember a university campus where student housing downtown has been just one of mayor breed's ideas to fill office and retail space that's been vacant. breed's office says it will continue to engage with the university of california about downtown. >> now to a housing debacle that we've been following for nearly two years. the building at 33 tehama in san francisco's soma district, 600 tenants were displaced in 2022 after a water main broke and flooded much of the building. now it is back open with a new name and a new address. abc news abc7 news reporter suzanne phan has a look at the changes and what one former tenant is saying about the building's management. >> i literally felt like i was in a godzilla movie. there was water dripping down from everywhere. >> anchor sharma shutters at the memory of what he and hundreds

of other tenants went through. at 33 tehama in june 2022, tenants were forced from their homes after a massive flood. thousands of gallons of water poured down through the entire building. hines, the real estate development and management firm that owns the building, said a water main that is part of the building's fire sprinkler system failed at the top of the building. now, two years later, the building has reopened. tenants have moved into the newly renamed spera sf, which even has a new address, 39 tehama. a spokesperson for hines released this statement saying, quote, as of last month, approximately one third of the original residents from 2022 have returned to the property, and of those who elected to retain their leases throughout the extensive restoration, nearly 75% returned to the property. sharma decided not to return after he learned that his rent would increase by 50. he now lives in san diego. >> i wouldn't feel comfortable living there, any more. just you know, given the, the false

promises they've made so far. >> as for the new name and address, what do you think about that? >> it's a sham. they basically just fooling people so that, you know, they're the previous results don't pop up on google search. so that's why they change the name they've changed the address and the story. >> attorney fahimi represents 90 of the tenants who lived at 33 tehama in a lawsuit. >> we're going to continue to pursue them. we are hoping for a resolution, because it's clear kinds and defendants are liable. and these folks should not be delayed anymore in being compensated for what they've suffered through, spera says. >> they've done restoration and renovation work inside and out. >> it's trying to cover up for what has happened, and they're just trying to erase what has happened in san francisco. >> suzanne phan abc seven news. >> you can help to name san francisco's next two ferries. a contest is going on right now. it ends on monday. there are 12 options that have been narrowed down from nearly 300 entries. all of them came from local students and kindergarten through 12th grade. some of the possible names include farallon
