6:14 pm
her testimony about interviewing depape at the hospital. at one point, she was holding in her hands the hammer to pap allegedly used on pelosi, which she called a sledge hammer. she also described the contents of his backpack, which included a laptop and inflatable unicorn costume. depape said in his federal trial that he had planned to wear that costume while interrogating then speaker of the hse ncy pelosi. but she wasn't home the night of the break in. in his testimony today , paul pelosi described waking up in the middle of the night startled, scared and groggy. paul pelosi on the stand, describing the moments inside his home a little after 2 a.m. when his bedroom door burst open and he was greeted by a large man with a hammer and zip ties. pelosi says david depape woke him with a question are you paul pelosi? it's those four words that began a middle of the night conversation with depape, looking for paul's wife, then speaker of the house nancy pelosi, and paul trying to explain she wasn't there. i'm going to have to tie you up.
6:15 pm
we'll wait, pelosi testified to pap said before saying she's second in line for president and we're going to have to take them all out. pelosi described attempts to get away from depape , including walking to an elevator just outside his bedroom, which had a phone in it he wanted to use to call 911. depape followed close behind. he said. ultimately, pelosi described going to the bathroom, where he was able to get his cell phone and call 911 on speaker. being mindful to say, just enough to the 911 call operator to elicit help but not too much to tip his hand to depape. he seemed very intent on what he was going to do, testified pelosi. pelosi eventually convinced depape they should go downstairs to get to pap's belongings, and that depape could tie him up down there so they could sleep. i was trying to negotiate something, testified pelosi. when police arrived, pelosi opened the door. pelosi said when depape wouldn't drop the hammer hand on the hammer and doesn't
6:16 pm
remember what happened after he was hit. in describing the lingering effects, the attack has had on his health, pelosi said he's had two falls since the incident. also that it's better for his mental health not to talk about what happened following pelosi's testimony, a forensic expert took the stand. jurors have been intently listening, and with each witness, the judge has given them the option of submitting a question to be asked today. the jurors had no additional questions for pelosi. >> interesting. okay. all right. thank you mel. >> well, a snapshot of history today as this morning's headlines capture the unprecedented conviction of a former president donald trump found guilty on 34 felony counts, is promising to appeal. tonight. here in the bay area, pro-trump protesters hung upside down american flags on an overpass in lafayette. the inverted flags have become a symbol for the movement, falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen by 1:00. the flags over highway 24 were gone. trump continued his claims of an unfair trial today in a speech
6:17 pm
packed with attacks on prosecutors and the judge. >> this is a scam. this is a rigged trial. it shouldn't have been in that venue. we shouldn't have had that judge. >> president biden addressed the conviction as part of a speech on israel. biden says the conviction shows that no one is above the law and is criticizing trump and others, claiming the verdict was rigged. >> it's reckless, it's dangerous, it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. >> the big question, of course, is how much the conviction will affect trump's chances of winning the presidency a second time. today on our 3 p.m. program, getting answers, a pollster serving democratic candidates told us polling in the next several weeks will give us a better picture of where he stands in all the polling we've seen, you know, democrats are much more likely to agree with the fact that charges were brought to view him as being guilty, and republicans generally have been the opposite . paul mitchell of political

6:19 pm
in fairfield, but 59.5 moon bay, a good 36 degree difference between inland area and coast. our summer microclimates at full play. most areas are dropping off right now by 11 degrees in santa rosa, six degrees cooler in the city, down seven, oakland down five, livermore and san jose. onshore winds are ramping up. that's playing apart. gusts to 35 right now in oakland. do expect that pattern to continue. so if you have evening plans tonight the sun's out 7:00. you're still pretty nice inland in the mid 80s dropping to the 70s and eventually to the 60s around the bay in the low 60s, a little breezy and then a few patches of clouds developing late tonight going into tomorrow morning along the coastline. we already have some patchy fog. we're seeing it now 56 degrees coming down to the low 50s. so you need a jacket if you're going to be along the coast. pretty potent storm pushing towards the pacific northwest with an atmospheric river. that's a strong atmospheric river. it's bringing the potential for some flooding concerns across the pacific northwest. what it's doing for
6:20 pm
us is it's deepening that marine layer. that marine layer is already starting to deepen. we're seeing the fog along the coast that's patchy, but it will continue to spread northward and we will see more areas going under gray skies. excessive heat watch is going to start tuesday morning and it's going to run until thursday evening. the reason for this is the temperatures are going to soar. and this is a solano and lake counties. they're going to soar well above average into increasing the risk of heat illnesses significantly. so something to keep in mind, especially if you're sensitive to the heat. right now. you don't have to worry about the heat from our san rafael camera. just nice blue skies right now. low 60s san francisco, oakland. you're at 79 in san jose and 85 degrees in half moon bay. as we look at the view from sutro tower, it's a little breezy, but blue skies. 74 in santa rosa, 66 petaluma. you're in the 80s. fairfield. concord, livermore and sun shining in san jose overnight tonight. areas of fog and drizzle tomorrow. breezy to gusty and cooler and the middle
6:21 pm
of next week. summer sizzle is coming so get ready tonight. those temperatures will be slow to fall, but i'm going to show you what's going to happen tomorrow. you start out with some fog and then numbers don't rise quite as rapidly. you're looking at 70s and 80s inland, 50s coast side. so a pretty nice looking weather. the wind will be an issue. windy along the coast, breezy inland. the winds will continue to ramp up tomorrow evening, so keep that in mind. your morning temperatures anywhere from the 40s to the 50s tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. it's going to be a nice day. 77 in san jose. not quite as warm on the peninsula. 71. redwood city 59, in pacifica, with lingering fog. 65 in the city, north bay numbers mid 80s from sonoma to santa rosa in the east bay, closer to average 70. in oakland, 72 fremont had inland, 84 in fairfield, 78. in livermore, accuweather seven day forecast temperatures will be about the same sunday and then coming down on monday. after that, we bring in some hot
6:22 pm
weather from the mid 90s to the low one hundreds. by the middle of the week, so it's going to be pretty hot. >> that'll get our attention. yes, it will absolutely. >> thanks, sandy. all right. well thousands of mexican nationals living in the bay area are expected to vote this weekend in what is expected to be a historic election for president of that country. the top two leading candidates are both women, which virtually guarantees mexico will have its first woman president. leading the pack is claudia sheinbaum. the former mexico city mayor has bay area ties. she worked on her phd at lawrence berkeley national lab. her main opponent is conservative, so she'll galvez. mexicans in the bay area can vote sunday at the san francisco and san jose consulates. >> one call, one click. >> how it's going to get easier to get transit services

6:27 pm
authority says the new one call, one click system will streamline the process for riders using any of the county's 12 transportation systems. they hope to have it up and running next year. >> coming up next, beauty and the beast and bureaucracy. >> why can't we just have a nice can out in san francisco? a nice wire basket like they have in some other cities? we tried that in our pilot program and we saw that it didn't work. >> the story on san francisco's long and expensive trash can
6:28 pm
i live in vancouver, washington and i write mystery novels. as i was writing, i found that i just wasn't sharp and that doesn't work when you're writing a mystery and i knew i needed to do something so i started taking prevagen. i realized that i was much more clear, much sharper. i was remembering the details that i was supposed to. prevagen keeps my brain working right. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
hides the beast that is city bureaucracy. building a better bay area means balancing the two as san francisco tries to keep its streets clean. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here for some trash talk about the city's trash cans. >> truth be told, is what i say. dan, now late last year, we learned through a report that it takes longer and costs more to build homes in san francisco than anywhere else in california. homes aren't the
6:31 pm
only thing we're slow at. sure, you can blame it on the pandemic, but does it take several years to cover the city with trash cans? apparently so. for a major city, san francisco has a fairly good number of trash cans. but we have a problem. trash tends to find its way onto city streets, tarnishing san francisco's image even further. like right here they cleaned today, and two minutes later, somebody will trash it. it's been found that the more people litter, the more it becomes a habit. they're desensitized. why can't we just have a nice can out in san francisco, a nice wire basket like they have in some other cities? >> we tried that in our pilot program and we saw that it didn't work. we're slobs. i don't know if it's slobs. it's really it's behavior issues. >> the city then realized that they needed some kind of human resistant trash can without compromising esthetics. but this is san francisco, so it has to be different, right? they settled on a sleek new design
6:32 pm
that was two years ago. here's part of the reason for the delay . rather than pick any design, public works decided to go the democratic route, asking residents to select a favorite from a few prototypes. those special trash cans became yet another city pilot program, costing $550,000. that's a lot of money. $550,000. >> yeah, it's a lot. it's a lot of money. the garbage cans, certainly, once they're into full mass production, aren't going to cost that much. we're hoping they'll cost about $3,000. >> this is the model that could cost $3,000, called slim silhouette. there's one along the embarcadero across from the ferry building. as seen in this photo. one was placed in the tenderloin, but that's now gone. the sexy new cans are supposed to be graffiti resistant and hard to tamper with, and we've noticed that it's been tampered with. >> it looked cute, pretty. that's it. you went from
6:33 pm
spaceship to come back and get it. >> public works says there will be some design changes and improvements made, like being able to fit a used pizza box. right now, the opening isn't large enough. they also want to make sure that people can't get into the recycling portion, so that this kind of rummaging doesn't happen. i'm sounding sort of like my mom, what happened? what's wrong with the old ones? >> okay, so the problem with the old cans is we see we get a lot of problems with people being able to go into the cans, rummage through them and pull the garbage out. we want to have it so people just can't pull off the doors and smash the locks as easily as they do now. and finally, we want to have something that's a little bit esthetically pleasing. >> mind you, public works has yet to find a company that will mass produce them, so at the earliest the cans will start to roll out by the summer of 2025. the city wants to purchase 3000 trash cans, so do the math.
6:34 pm
that's $9 million. to clarify, ratepayer funding previously collected by recology has already been set aside by public works to cover the costs of the cans. board president aaron peskin, who is running against the incumbent mayor, has been critical of the costs and delays. >> i expressed these concerns years ago. i said that we just needed an off the shelf product. they wanted to have something special regardless of cost. we still don't have the cans right now. >> public works has a more immediate problem, like how to quickly replace the 15 big belly smart trash cans like this one removed overnight from the north beach neighborhood. after the north beach citizens, the local nonprofit, terminated their contract with the company that provided them big belly. >> big belly has fallen down on the job. they're not servicing the cans well, they're not taking care of them. they're not maintaining them. >> a dark mark left on the pavement is proof they were once here. the office of economic and
6:35 pm
workforce development expressed its disappointment with big belly, stating that such action would require a lot of coordination on the city side. for now, it appears there will be no cans for the upcoming north beach festival. attendees could carry their trash home, but of course there is always the street. well let's hope not. tomorrow is the sf fest italiana and the north beach street fair is from june 15th through the 16th. now we reached out to big belly several days ago and they never responded. and as we say, you can't make this stuff up. no you can't. >> i mean it seemingly simple. i know it's more complicated. you can't just put up any trash can, but cities all over the bay area have. i'd love to see an experiment where they just tried on a block, just different trash cans over a period of a few weeks. that's right. just try what others like in washington dc. >> it really works. the mesh and they people are pretty, you
6:36 pm
know, clean there and so forth. well, it didn't work here. yeah. so unfortunately it's a thing of habit. i guess. >> thanks, liane. sure. >> well june will kick off tomorrow in san francisco to the beat of electronic music workers spent the day setting up a stage at san francisco's civic center plaza for saturday's huge rave. 25,000 fans are expected for the electronic music concert by british artist fred again and dj skrillex. the show is being put on by the promoter of outside lands. >> pride month starts tomorrow in san francisco with a new purple pride block party. the party goes from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on market street, with activities set up along waller street as well, and oakland kicked off pride month a day early, with mayor shengtao raising a huge lgbt lgbtq flag at city hall. the town has a new reason to celebrate, too. this is the first pride month in which oakland has an lgbtq cultural district. it was approved back in november. it's in the lakeshore area, where bars catering to oakland's gay
6:37 pm
and queer scene started popping up in the 1980s. now celebrate pride with abc seven all june and watch our exclusive live coverage of the 54th annual san francisco pride parade on june 30th, streaming everywhere you watch abc seven. >> coming up, the war of the waves and the wind. it's a battle we're losing. >> nature takes the toll. what will erosion do to the coast in the next quarter century? >> take a look ahead. a sneak peek at bay
6:38 pm
6:39 pm
6:40 pm
impact climate change will have on our environment and you don't have to look further than our coastline to see the damage more intense storms and warming ocean temperatures are causing what can be done to shore up our coast. >> not much, experts say. >> california has 1100 miles of coast. the whole coastline is pretty much eroding. there's absolutely nothing we can do over the long run. the whole backed up pacific ocean. we don't battle with mother nature and when we're up against forces
6:41 pm
that are certainly more powerful than we are along west cliff drive here. waves and tides beat the hell out of this coast. took out the road and the bike path. we lost 20 or 30ft in one day. and i've been here 55 years. i've never seen anything like this happen before. >> approximately. i lived there 45 years. we would lose a half an inch of foot at the most every couple of years until around 2010. big chunks of earth would fall into the ocean. at the shortest point. we're ten feet from the ocean. >> we built those houses without any regard for coastal erosion. >> it was the war. the waves and the wind. the cost of saving building was so astronomical. so to raise 10 million would be
6:42 pm
almost an impossible task. nature takes the toll >> erosion is always a balance between the strength of the materials. the rock of its granite or sandstone, and the forces acting on it. so whether it's rainfall or whether it's waves, whether we're cutting a slope too steep, once we exceed the strength of the materials, it's going to fail. and it could be a river runoff, it could be a wave attack. it could be glaciers. so it's basically sort of the external forces dominating over the strength of the material. and the long term sea level is rising. we're going to have at least another foot of sea level rise, maybe more, by 2050. so the higher the ocean is , the more frequently the waves will attack the cliffs or the bluffs here. pacifica, santa barbara, where we get usually really high tides and large waves. that's when most of the

erosion takes place and the higher the sea level gets, the more erosion and the faster the erosion will occur. accelerating. how much faster it goes up. we don't know the other. that's going to be more problematic. up to 2050 and probably beyond, what we could call short term extreme events. a hurricane, a typhoon, a tsunami. those are going to get us in the short term with global warming. >> obviously, the sea is warmed up. the warmer it is, the more energy. and so you have stronger events, stronger storm events than you had in the past, maybe more frequent to through episodic events. >> we lose it all at once. and that's what happened here in january. so really high tides, seven feet plus offshore wave gauge showed waves 28ft high. those happened exactly at the

be a giant for like ten minutes a couple of years ago. or maybe not. aaron judge will play tonight for the very first time at oracle park, as the giants host the first place yankees in a weekend series. judge was injured the last time the bronx bombers came to town in 2019. but with a new scheduling format. the yankees are going to be here every other year from now on, so the yankees got off to a slow start this season. of course, the new york media was going bananas. what's wrong with this team? uh- now the judge is on a hot streak. 12 homers just in the month of may. tied for the league lead. total 18 so far. he's just the second yankee. get this with at least 12 homers and 12 doubles in a month. the other was lou gehrig in 1930. pretty good company as he comes home. >> it doesn't matter how you start. you're always going to have good months, bad months. just try to stay consistent and you know it's all going to work itself out. so it's, it's been a good month with a lot of wins. so happy about that. don't keep it rolling in june. >> i mean, the fact that we're in may and all the questions
6:54 pm
about the slow start and you look up there in the season, he's having, just a special player doing special things. >> yankees 20 games over 500. now, last time jason kidd made it to the nba finals, he was playing point guard for the dallas mavericks. that was back in 2011. that team won the title and now kidd is coaching two all star guards in luka doncic and kyrie irving. they just finished off minnesota last night. the mavs will meet the celtics in the finals. game one is next thursday night right here on abc seven. kidd, of course, grew up in the bay. went to cal. knows that boston is favored, but his mavs are peaking at just the right time. >> it's been a highlight of my basketball journey. and so, you know, we got we got to find a way to beat boston. we got four games to try to figure that out. and so, it's surreal. but it's been fun. it's not easy. it's not easy to be a coach in this league, but as i've told people, i can care less what you write
6:55 pm
about me, it's all about that group in that locker room, and that group responds. and that's what it's all about. hill misses rebound, goes to the cavs j.r. smith brings it back out and we'll go to overtime. >> you get the feeling j.r. snell that they have the lead. >> happy anniversary lebron. six years ago today lebron james made that face because j.r. smith dribbled out the clock in game one of the finals. he thought cleveland had the lead. and they were about to pull off this big upset. no, the game was tied and the warriors went on to win in overtime. the dubs swept the cavs. and that's that's the signature pose right there. the video that never gets old. >> what are you doing, you know you could you could tell the cavs after the way that game ended they were tough. that series was over at that point. >> that's true. thank you. yeah. and tonight on abc seven at 8:00 it's shark tank followed by 2020 at nine.

>> then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember we're streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> well, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. donald trump, a former american president and quite possibly our next president, is now a convicted felon, as he said leaving court yesterday. this is a very sad day for america. the man known for hyperbole did not exaggerate with that comment. a very sad day indeed. but i mean that for different reasons than he does. i was in los angeles covering the o.j. trial when the verdict was read. from that moment to this day, people see it differently. his supporters saw a just vindication, his critics a perversion of justice. likewise the trump verdict only in reverse. i tore my rotator cuff a couple of months ago. i'm hoping to avoid surgery by giving it a chance to heal the trick. if i wait too long, the torn muscle could atrophy and pull so far away from the joint
6:57 pm
that it will be very difficult for my surgeon to pull it back up and repair it. our deeply divided country is a little like a torn rotator cuff. what really matters? wait too long and we may not heal for a very long time. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> all right. that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. we thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. larry bill, all of us. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and that we see you evening and that we see you again at 11:00. reducing emissions by 60%. ♪ we're moving forward with indycar.
