6:07 am
>> he was a lifetime 297 hitter with 379 career home runs and 1364 runs batted in. he hit over 309 times in his career. cepeda spent his nine seasons with the giants alongside greats willie mays and willie mccovey, before being traded to saint louis in 1966, winning the comeback player of the year award that season. the following year, he won the national league most valuable player award, leading the cardinals to the world series title. cepeda was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 1999 on a veterans committee ballot, only the second puerto rican native ever to be enshrined in the hall. >> i want to say thank you to all the people in san francisco. >> two weeks prior to his induction, the giants retired his number 30 at candlestick park. he's one of just ten players in giants history to have their jersey retired. >> right now, it's what you say. thank you that i was a baseball player. >> the baby bull is also in the puerto rico sports hall of fame

6:09 am
two versions of the budget. one does not include the sale of the coliseum and calls for major budget cuts. the other version includes the coliseum sale, but there are concerns that won't finalized in time to prevent cuts. >> one of those budget options is fiscally irresponsible. it should have never been presented. assuming that a windfall of money was going to be here with the purchase and sale agreement, supporters of the budget, including the stadium sale, say they are confident in the documented deal. >> they also say they're open to including contingency plans that would kick in months from now. a final vote on the budget is due next week. oakland police kick off a summer safety plan today with a focus on preventing violent crime. the department says its aim is proactive policing, community engagement and effective incident response. officials plan to refocus on operation ceasefire, the city's crime prevention program helped reduce shootings and homicides

6:19 am
next weekend, the first weekend of july. so we're looking at, of course, elevated fire danger. and as you know, we have had the fires already with those grasses just really kind of wild out there, overgrown and dry. there's a look at live doppler seven where a little bit of cloud cover, keeping the marine layer intact. today and comfortable conditions as we look out towards our sutro tower camera. the sun has been up for about 30 minutes already, and temperatures are cool in parts of the bay. 54 san francisco and half moon bay. there's a lot of fog along the coast and it is dense in spots. 55 oakland san jose is at 58. good morning to you in emeryville. beautiful day here along the bay shore. it will be getting warm as you head down the peninsula into the south bay, but typical summer weather for your saturday 48 petaluma. it is 59 by the delta with upper 50s in livermore, concord 58. and from mount tam there's the deck of low clouds,

mild at the coast, warm inland, both today and tomorrow. and then for the pride festivities. it is looking very nice out there. a lot of sunshine, comfortable seconds for the parade. that sea breeze with us and we will have the warmth inland. just some 90s. but as we get into next week, a dangerous heat wave coming our way about 10 to 15 degrees above average with warm to hot weather and already the national weather service issuing an excessive heat watch and this will turn into a warning as we get into the warmth. so you can see everywhere except the immediate coast here, where you definitely will feel the heat and that increases the fire danger and the possibility of heat related illnesses. so it's going to be a rough week for many. and as we look at our tuesday where our beach forecast first, this is probably the last day this weekend where we'll see some low clouds and fog. be pretty generous along the coast. we'll

6:32 am
after they faced off on stage. abc news reporter johny fernandez has mixed reaction from voters. >> former president trump and president joe biden both hit the campaign trail friday after sparring in their first presidential debate. president biden speaking to supporters in raleigh making the case that he's going to push forward in the race. >> i know how to do this job. i know how to get things done, and i know, like millions of americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up >> meanwhile, some voters concerned after his shaky performance. i'm really nervous. >> like i'm gonna show up for democrats. i'm gonna volunteer. i'm. i'm concerned about the ability to like to kind of come back from that. >> donald trump, who was criticized for an avalanche of lies during his performance, including defending those convicted in the riot at the capitol on january 6th and repeatedly dodging questions on

6:34 am
said when the pause will take effect. also new this morning, some much needed gaza aid is backed up due to a dispute over security concerns. united nations officials have requested aid workers wear protective gear when going into the strip. israeli defense forces have opposed that request and fear the gear gets into hamas's hands. the un responded, threatening to suspend aid operations in gaza until their needs are met. meanwhile, the u.s. military built pier has been pulled from the gaza shore again because of rough seas. the supreme court is clearing the way for cities to enforce bans on unhoused people sleeping outdoors. that includes here in the bay area, where shelter space is limited, the high court ruled in favor of grants pass, oregon, and its ban on sleeping in public. those who violate the ban will face fines and possibly even jail time. san jose mayor matt mehan says the decision provides clarity on the issue, but he says it does not change
6:35 am
his city's overall strategy for dealing with homelessness. >> it doesn't change our immediate need to get over 1000 people out of our waterways to comply with the clean water act. it doesn't change our need to rapidly expand shelter capacity and treatment beds for our most vulnerable neighbors. it doesn't change the moral obligation we have to create safe, managed places for shelter. >> the court decided that finding unhoused people does not necessarily equate to cruel and unusual punishment, mehan says. it's not cruel to get people out of unsafe, unmanaged conditions on the street. now to another supreme court ruling. this one overturned a 40 year old case known as the chevron decision. the change weakens the power of federal regulators. in the 1984 case, san ramon based chevron lost a lawsuit against the natural resources defense council. the ruling determined lower courts should defer to
6:36 am
federal agencies when laws passed by congress are not clear. yesterday's decision reverses that the nrdc says it puts too much authority in the hands of lower court judges. >> well, this is a terrible decision. it shows again that the current court majority is on a rampage. you may now have random judges from, say, amarillo, texas, deciding all kinds of national questions from assuring the safety of heart medicines uh- to determining clean air standards, or what it takes to keep doors from blowing off of airplanes. you name it. >> the biden administration has said throwing out the chevron decision could destabilize the federal government and the nation's legal system. new developments in the alleged fraud scheme involving the adhd drug adderall, five more defendants associated with the california based company den global incorporated have been
6:37 am
charged. a florida nurse practitioner is accused of prescribing more than 1.5 million pills without interacting with patients, prosecutors say dozens auto refill policy allowed patients to obtain continued prescriptions after only one encounter with a medical professional. still ahead this morning, counting down to the san francisco pride parade, we'll hear from medical professionals from kaiser permanente, a proud sponsor of this year's event. and then we'll take you outside for a live look atop our roof camera. you see the flag blown in the wind there

6:41 am
at abc seven, we celebrate pride every day. and this morning we want to highlight one of the parade's proud sponsors, kaiser permanente. here's abc seven news anchor dion lim. >> yeah, we have to talk about kaiser's dedication to pride, because this has been long standing. >> yes it has. you know, kaiser has been, from the very beginning, committed to the entirety of our community, the health and well-being of our community. and for us, pride is such a momentous and important celebration of including everybody who is our community in so many different ways of expression. and in san francisco in particular, we really view this as one of the biggest celebrations we're honored to be a part of. and one of the biggest in the world. so it's very important to us. >> i know it really is a global stage, and we have to talk about your company and how kaiser really has been leading the charge in equity and diversity and really fostering that sense of community. and for a long time, yes. >> you know, since our founding, kaiser has been committed to the entirety of our community, as i
6:42 am
mentioned. so what does that mean for us? it means that we serve our populations with a focus, with dignity, and with excellence. and when it comes to the lgbtq plus community, we're very proud to have been one of the longest providers, largest providers of health care to the lgbtq+ community for decades and decades. and so for us, that means evolving to meet the needs of evolving to address things like stigma. whether it was early on in the hiv aids epidemic, with the recent scare with mpox, but also to think about how do you do that with excellence and clinical innovation and one of the things we're most proud of, for example , is the work we've done in leading the research around prep. prep is really important means of hiv prevention, prophylaxis treatment. and we were one of the lead papers written on the efficacy of prep based on groundbreaking work here in san francisco. and that has monumentally changed the
6:43 am
