been able to gather mostly younger folks. there's been a lot of i'm kind of quiet protests done in the name of vigils for these people who have run into problems because of strict lockdown there. yeah. >> i actually have spent a bit of time in shanghai. it's a it's a very western, you know, i'm sitting for china you know, watching the videos of these protesters. how much influence do you think they're really going to have? i mean, you think that that the government will start relaxing some of the covid the restrictions. >> this is a really good and it's one that had some students do research on. so that may graduate students in the past as the importance of technology in particular. and the opening up of fighting of information in china, which is

people in china have been able to have access to the vaccine. i think that's a part of this, too. >> oh, that is a difficult for me to answer. i think i don't have my finger on the pulse of the that exact issue so i can definitely talk about the ways that people are connecting and i know the effect that's having. >> yeah, we're we're pretty short on time, but i do want to get this question in to you. how is this going to affect world trade end? i know this sounds very selfish on our part, but, you know, the protests that took place the right basically what was at a plant that was making iphones. >> yeah, that does seem to >> ground 0 for for what we're seeing. it's also i important to understand the context what's going on over.

>> one for news is your local election headquarters and governor gavin newsom is what's in store for him as we approach the 20 24 presidential elections. and as kron four's capitol correspondent eytan wallace explains. now, despite this widespread speculation, will he or won't he? >> the governor says 2024 will not including newsom candidacy for the white house. >> keep in mind, the governor ran and won 3 races over the last 5 years. but one race newsom says he's not going to enter the race for president in less than 2 years out until the presidential election. california governor gavin newsom says he will not run for the white house in 2024. the reporting coming from politico confirming what newsom pledged during his gubernatorial campaign earlier this fall. you're asoing voters for 4 more years. do

you commit to serving off or yes for political informs the white house last summer of his decision not to run in 2024. in a later phone call, the governor reportedly told president biden to expect newsom's full support behind a biden reelection telling the president, quote, i'm all in put me in coach, we have your back. does this surprise you? no, it doesn't surprise me. loyola law school professor jessica levinson says while newsom 2024 decision is not a surprise that could always change depending on whether biden himself says yes or no to a 2024 run. >> the question, of course, is if president biden doesn't run. and at that point, i do think it's strange common sense to say that governor newsom has no interest in running. he's created a national platform for himself. he has in some ways acted like the face of the younger generation of the democratic party. previous california governors have tried to unseat incumbent presidents from their own party. then governor ronald reagan unsuccessfully

ran against president gerald ford in the 1976 gop primary. and 4 years later, then governor jerry brown did so against president jimmy carter in the democratic primary. >> levinson says do not expect the same of newsom. it is unusual for someone within the president's party to really mount a successful challenge in the primary. it does divide the party. you need an enormous. >> sound ation of fundraising of supporters in order to try and mount a successful primary challenge to a sitting president. still, she says even of 2024 is a quiet year for newsom. do not count him out in future years. does he have an eye on national aspirations? i think the answer is yes, he does doesn't mean that he absolutely will run the moment that he can. no, it doesn't. and for now, the governor says he's focused on the state capitol where the legislature is set to reconvene on december. 5th reporting here in sacramento, eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> for sports. >> the niners picked up a big win yesterday was their 4th

win in a row. they are officially one of the hottest teams in the nfl. but they did not get out of their matchup with the saints unscathed. second-year running back elijah mitchell sprained his mcl and he will be out the next 6 to 8 weeks. it happened on this play. let's take a look. see, he takes the carry. he twisted up and this defender falls on his left. knee looks extremely painful. now, mitchell just got off injured reserve a few weeks ago after sustaining a knee injury in the week, one loss to the chicago bears and he's played really well in the 3 games since he returned. that was that injury against the bears? you see he just got his right knee hit really this you can't catch a break. obviously not only is this a tough blow for the niners. it's also a tough blow to mitchell himself and his psyche talk pretty
