6:00 pm
>> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. one last day of triple digits. tomorrow. i'll show you when cooler weather arrives. >> always live. abc seven news starts right now. >> a pivotal moment in the presidential race. just a short time ago, president biden holding his first news conference since that disastrous debate performance two weeks ago. this was also his first solo news conference in eight months, with reporters asking questions and him having to answer without a teleprompter. good evening, i'm dan ashley and i'm julian glover, democratic lawmakers and voters, they were hanging to on every word to evaluate if the president is up to the rigors of a presidential campaign. >> it was a shaky start. his first question came from a reporter from reuters. >> my question for you is, how are you incorporating these developments into your decision to stay and separately, what concerns do you have about vice president harris's ability to
6:01 pm
beat donald trump? if she were at the top of the ticket? >> look, i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president, but i think she was not qualified to be president. so let's start there. number one, the fact is that the consideration is that i think i'm the most qualified person to run for president. i beat him once and i will beat him again. >> the president's fumble there, referring to kamala harris as vice president trump. this caps an extraordinary day as more democrats, allies and donors express publicly losing confidence in his reelection prospects. president biden did not reassure them of their concerns with another ill timed fumble this afternoon at a nato event, he mistakenly introduced ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky as russian president vladimir putin. >> now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin,
quote
6:02 pm
president putin, you can't beat president putin, president zelensky, i'm so focused on beating putin. we got to worry about it anyway. mr. president, i'm better. you are a hell of a lot better. >> as you can see there, the president tried to make light of the slip, but it comes as a new abc news poll with the washington post and ipsos shows an overwhelming 85% of the country thinks biden is just too old for another term. and seeing the polls, 14 house democrats and one democratic senator have now joined the calls for president joe biden to step aside. >> house democratic leader hakeem jeffries says internal conversations are still ongoing, but a no doubt biden's news conference performance will be a topic of those discussions. and joining us now is abc seven news insider phil matier phil, we're seeing reaction from both trump and biden about that kamala harris flub today. trump posted on truth social. crooked joe begins his big boy press conference with i would have picked vice president trump to
6:03 pm
be vice president, though i think she was not qualified to be president. great job, joe and joe biden posted on x in response by the way, yes, i know the difference. one's a prosecutor and the other is a felon trying to recover from that mistake, obviously. phil, your thoughts? >> well, i've been talking with local democrats and statewide as well. and what i've got is basically a democratic party that feels like the deer in the headlights. they're really not sure what to do or what will come next. one said bluntly, well, what can i say? he at least he didn't fall down. but the performance in terms of content, if you were reading it, you got one set right. lots of facts, lots of cogent thoughts and lots of explanations about the world. the he wanted to do. if you watched it or listened to it, it was a different story. he began with the teleprompter. it was very energetic. and then as it progressed into the question and answers, his tone got slower and slower and slower, and he had a meandering sense of starting one
6:04 pm
thing and then stopping and then moving back and forth. so that is the same joe biden, by the way, that we saw four years ago when he ran against donald trump, if you recall, and especially in the primaries, he is known for talking and talking and talking and interrupting himself and interrupting himself. exactly. and but now it's a slower and it's a different joe biden. and that's what the democrats are looking at. he made it clear he is staying in the race. >> and you mentioned that you've been speaking with statewide democrats. i'm thinking back to the comments that house speaker nancy pelosi made on morning joe just yesterday, saying, let's wait until after the nato summit to reassess things. here we are. the nato summit is now over a day full of flubs. how do you think democrats will begin to reassess the president's future in this race? >> you can reassess his future in terms of what you feel and how it might affect your race. if you're a congressperson or a senator, but the president made it very clear, he says, i've got the money, i've got the organization, and i'm the only
6:05 pm
one that's got the time left because the time window is shutting down. those are practical things. those are they're not wishful things. i wish somebody else would be there. he's just saying, i'm in. this is it. let's go for it. the polls don't show me slipping or gaining. we can do this if he continues to believe that, the question becomes, what do democrats do about that? and that takes me back to the beginning, where i said, they're kind of like deer in the headlights. they don't know what to do. we've never had a situation like this. >> however, one thing they are doing is we mentioned a new for biden campaign is now testing head to head matchups of vice president harris against former president trump. it's a strategic shift obviously happening behind the scenes. what do you make of that? >> there are polls are made constantly. yes. and you are looking at that. it would be remiss of him not to. and you think, okay, what if it shows that she wins? she could win. okay. that's one thing. what if it shows that she wouldn't win? does that reinforce the idea of staying there right now? the issue is beating donald trump.
6:06 pm
that is what the democrats are most concerned about. that is what the president is most concerned about. we're not hearing a lot of talk about, except for the questions from reporters, which, by the way, was literally like a shark tank. every question was aimed at, are you ready to can you still hold office and run his motion the election. the focus is on the election. as for after the election remains to be seen. >> they will kick that can down the road. their first job, from the democratic perspective, is to get elected. >> dan, in politics, the only thing that counts is a win. if you don't win, you're not in. you can't govern. there's no policy. and that's what each one of these democrats is looking at. not only has how can joe biden win, but do i win as well. yeah. >> all right thanks phil. >> appreciate it. well a big day for the president. also a big day for oakland mayor shengtao. she responded today to recent questions about oakland's reported crime drop. the police department says overall crime is down 33. but according to the san francisco chronicle, that
6:07 pm
number was based on incomplete stats from last year, and the number may be closer to 20. >> there has been no change in how the oakland police department has reported our weekly crime data since they began sharing it with the community in 2011. so this is opd's process in regards to being transparent. other cities, they actually are not this transparent. >> mayor tao went on to say there are discrepancies if crimes are miscategorized when they're reported and there's typically about a three month lag between a report being filed and the data being reflected in statistics. mayor tao also commented on the fbi raid of her home and three other locations in oakland as a part of a political corruption probe. when i asked her earlier today on midday live if there was any wrongdoing, this was the mayor's response. >> i am not the subject of this investigation. i have done nothing wrong, and i expect that there will be an opportunity to say more. but now isn't the time and that i am fully cooperating with the investigation and look
6:08 pm
forward to the opportunity to vindicate myself. >> myrtle maintains that she is focused on doing her job in handling issues impacting the city of oakland. check out the timeline of the raids involving mayor tao. you'll find a day by day guide on abc seven news.com and inside of the abc seven bay area app. >> check that out, but let's turn your attention now to the weather. we are in the hottest day of the heat wave that we're in today, and we have a spare the air alert in effect as well. >> even a bit warmer today in san francisco to abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is tracking these conditions. so sandhya, what's finally going to change around here? >> those temperatures are going to come down, believe it or not. julian and dan, let's take a look at the high temperatures for today. they didn't come down that's for sure. it got up to 111 today at the livermore co-op site, which tied the record set back in 1961. the official livermore airport reading was 109. as you see there, 111 in fairfield. yeah, it was a scorcher. 108 in concord, 101 santa rosa, napa, 74 in the city, 84 in oakland, 99. in san
6:09 pm
jose, sitting pretty half moon bay, a mild 62 degree day. excessive heat warnings for the far inland valleys continues. the rest of the region, other than the coast and the city, under a heat advisory. this is in effect until 8 p.m. tomorrow. solano county they extended the heat advisory until 9 p.m. saturday, so there's still an increased risk of heat related illnesses. if you are going to step out tonight. 7:00 still 90s and one hundreds in our inland valleys, you will notice those temperatures not coming down very fast away from the coast at 9:00. still in the 80s and the 90s, it is going to be a cooling though at the coastline as we look at our air quality. it has been suffering moderate to even poor in places like livermore right now. as we look at the spare, the air that is in effect for today, looking at friday and saturday, though, there should be some improvement. we are looking at moderate air quality for the bay area. dan julian okay, thank you so much. >> sandhya. >> product like that would be a

road, just off interstate 80. it's not clear if anyone else was hurt in the crash, but at least two other vehicles appear to be involved. investigators say the driver who struck the officer tried to run from the scene, but bystanders stopped her. she was then arrested by the chp. vacaville police identified the officer as matthew bowen. he had been with the force since june of last year and previously worked for the concord police department. officer bowen is survived by his wife and two sons. >> now to a story. we are following closely scott peterson's effort to get a new trial today in san mateo county court. the judge decided to hold off on a ruling on dna lab testing on a piece of tape until at least monday. peterson was not there. he appeared remotely from a state prison in amador county. the testing itself has become hotly debated in court, so i think it's very important that you remember that the dna testing could end up having to be brought forward in court.
6:14 pm
>> so the government is very concerned about making sure that chain of custody is kept intact with integrity. >> peterson was convicted of killing his wife, laci, and their unborn son, and sentenced to death. that sentence was later overturned and he is now serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. the man charged with murder for pushing a woman into an oncoming bart train is once again scheduled to be in court tomorrow. it's been rescheduled several times since last week. the judge is waiting for a mental health evaluation of the 49 year old suspect. he is accused of pushing 74 year old cortizone dan. dan into a train at the powell street bart station on july first. dan dan hit her head and later died. a judge has denied bail for a man accused of planting a bomb in san jose, then calling police on himself. the 56 year old was arraigned today and is scheduled to be back in court to enter a plea on july the 29th. he had refused to go to court before today. last wednesday, the san
6:15 pm
jose police bomb squad safely detonated, detonated a device found behind a mental health resource center near ritter park drive in fox lane. >> an update now from the abc7 news i-team on an international story we've covered for five years. attorneys for a bay area man convicted in the death of a plain clothes police officer in rome are now asking a judge if he can serve the remainder of his sentence on home detention. last week, an italian appeals court reduced the sentences of finnegan elder and gabriel natali yort. the court also reduced natalie youghts conviction to what amounts to negligence. his attorneys are arguing that since he no longer convicted of a violent crime, he should be allowed home confinement. he's been in prison since 2019 and has was resentenced to serve 11 years. the court's decision could come by the end of the month. of course, we'll follow it closely. the two friends both attended marin's tamalpais high school in the summer of 2019. they were in

6:18 pm
device. >> we are patent pending from microsoft, a helping us. >> mit's whole thing is that they want you to invent for helping other people. >> the students now taking their idea a step forward by collaborating with the calistoga fire department on how the invention could be used, especially during a real life fire. >> our gear, as it is, is already hot. it's been an early start to the fire season, so a product like that would be a massive benefit to us out in these fires. >> the invention has other applications like keeping agricultural workers cool on the job and warm in winter months. >> there's nothing stopping us from getting this out in the shelves. >> one day the device could be available to all, but for now, this class has a very proud teacher. >> they are so amazing. >> i would cry if i wasn't on tv. right now they're just incredible. they work so hard in calistoga. >> cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> that is so clever. yeah, good for them. we could use that now. i'm kidding. >> yeah, a lot of people,
6:19 pm
especially inland, right. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the latest on the heat wave. sandy. yeah. >> tomorrow's a final day of this heat wave. okay, dan and julian, let me show you a live picture. right now, and i will show you what it looks like from our emeryville camera. it's a little shaky view, but certainly a lot of haze in the air as the high pressure has put a lid on the atmosphere and all that pollution is just kind of gathering with the heat building. so 11 degrees warmer compared to 24 hours ago in san carlos, up eight in san jose, six degrees warmer concord, up eight in santa rosa. certainly getting a nice breeze right along the coastline and in the city, 36 miles an hour onshore. but you're not feeling it in the inland areas. and look at the golden gate bridge. there was some fog earlier today, but it's gone. it's sunny, 72, in the city. oakland, 79 degrees. hayward. you're in the upper 80s along with redwood city. 94, in san jose from our sutro tower camera seeing bright blue skies right now. upper 90s in santa rosa, 87 in napa. but look at
6:20 pm
the triple digits from fairfield to concord to livermore, our hot spot right now. clearly a dangerous 109 in fairfield. so high pressure building in bringing that heat. but as it's nudging westward, it's also drying up some of the monsoon moisture over the sierra, where they are seeing thunderstorms over the weekend. tahoe has a higher likelihood of seeing thunderstorms there, but also cooler weather for them, which is good news. certainly, the marine layer will be back along the coastline, but we have one more day of dealing with the triple digit heat and moderate to major heat risk inland as we head into tomorrow, so just keep that in mind as we look at a live view from san jose. camera. the sun is shining. tomorrow is the last day of triple digits. your weekend forecast cooling trend for all areas and early next week it's back to average summer weather. temperatures will reflect that tonight. 7:00 we're still going to see those 90s and one hundreds while inland as we head into 10 p.m, the coolest spot to be will be
6:21 pm
the coast of course, 80s and 90s inland. tomorrow morning, temperatures dropping off away from the coastline, still remaining warm, though, and then quickly warming up into the 90s. by noontime inland triple digits eventually for the afternoon. and once again, it's going to be a slow going cool off tomorrow evening. so your morning temperature is anywhere from the mid 50s where the fog will be sitting clear skies inland mid 70s in antioch tomorrow afternoon you're going to notice the summer microclimates, just like today. 100 in the south bay and morgan hill, 94, in san jose on the peninsula, 90 in redwood city, 82. san mateo, mid 60s coast side, downtown san francisco 72 degrees. the sunset district 67. and in the north bay you will notice up to 98. in santa rosa. really still dangerously hot around ukiah and cloverdale. 95 in san rafael, heading into the east bay, 80 in oakland. hercules. these temperatures well above average 86, san leandro 90. in fremont. inland areas will not be as hot
6:22 pm
as it was today. still hot. don't get me wrong, 104 in antioch and livermore, 102 degrees in concord. your accuweather seven day forecast. tomorrow is the last day of this heat wave. you'll notice we're out of the one hundreds for the weekend, dropping down to the mid 90s saturday, and then the low 90s for sunday and monday. low 60s coast uh- close to average on tuesday. before we turn things around and the temperatures start to creep back up again. but it's not going to be extreme. julian and dan, we'll actually just see some typical summertime pattern. >> i'm glad we're losing that menacing hot graphic on your seven day forecast. >> yeah, it's nice to see that that is intimidating. >> it really is. all right. >> appreciate it. san diego well free friday french fries. >> it's a mouthful, but it's a delicious mouthful.

6:26 pm
streak. >> we need to see more of that in the months ahead. but i think we're hopeful now, just because we're starting to see signs now that we haven't seen for the past few years. >> again, some encouraging news there. the overall decline is attributed to lower gas rates and lower prices on both new and used cars. >> happening tomorrow, friday will live up to its name. it is national french fry day and you can celebrate for free. several chain restaurants are giving away fries, including mcdonald's burger king, wendy's and jack in the box. some deals require you to buy something else or be a loyalty program member. despite their name, it's actually believed that the birthplace of french fries is belgium. >> are you up to date on the covid vaccine? probably something you haven't thought about in a while. it's a good time to check because cases are going up. we have the latest latest data plus. >> but we're back here in oakland. i'm mindful that there's still more work to be done, mindful that we need to step up our efforts and step up our resources.

6:51 pm
6:52 pm
6:53 pm
down. the latest example i do my own sound effects here, by the way, ladies. ladies. yeah. no, we're trying to conserve, they were within a game of 500 just last friday, and now they're four under. they've lost 4 or 5, 2 or 3 to the blue jays. they have only three games left before the all star break. >> doot doot doot doot doot doot doot, >> what a day in the cove. how about that? why are we in the office? blue jays score three in the first off, jordan hicks, he's been scuffling lately. danny jansen gone three. nothing. toronto giants respond. bottom of the first third batter of the game. all star elliott ramos. hi. deep aloha. his team leading 14th of the year off former giant kevin gausman. so it's a32 game. that's where the giants offense stopped. and the blue jays just kept on going in the fourth spencer horowitz makes it 52a1 hopper into the
6:54 pm
covid does not count as a splash. hit hicks four and a third allows five runs. and gausman stifling the giants bats through seven. this wilmer flores grounder had an exit velocity of 20 miles an hour. that's that's that's not very fast, anyway, giants drop 2 or 3. five. three final. they host the twins for three before the much needed all star break in. the a's just lost to the red sox seven. nothing have highlights of that 11. hey, you want to own a baseball team? the oakland ballers are giving fans a chance to buy into the team by signing up on their website. and next month, the ballers will allow folks to buy a small ownership stake. shareholders will be allowed input. this is interesting on decisions about logos and perhaps some front office hiring decisions. i wonder if the giants would think about that, next up for steve kerr, steph curry and team usa flying to abu dhabi for a few days of practice and exhibition games with australia and serbia, team usa beat canada last night. game held in las vegas. steph
