acuity. >> the best way to assure them is the way i assure myself, and that is, am i getting the job done? am i getting the job done in the face of increasing questions about whether he should continue his bid for reelection, i'm determined on running, but i think it's important that i. i allay fears by seeing let them see me out there. >> but the president flubbing his first answer. look i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. >> did i think she was not qualified to be president? so let's start there. >> minutes before the news conference, another gaffe, biden mistakenly calling ukrainian president zelensky. putin russia's president. >> ladies and gentlemen, president putin, president puti, you've got to beat president putin, president zelensky, i'm so focused on beating putin, we've got to worry about it. >> the president offering up an explanation. >> i was talking about putin and i said, now at the very end, i said, here, i mean putin. i

said, no, i'm sorry. zelensky. >> our national poll shows even after that disastrous debate, the president remains locked in a dead heat with trump 46 to 47. but now more than a dozen democrats in congress are publicly calling for president biden to step aside from his reelection bid. and when abc news washington back here at home, a vacaville motorcycle police officer is dead after he was hit by a passing car while making a traffic stop, it happened this morning. >> 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, which says she was under the influence of drugs. it is not clear if anyone else was hurt in the crash, but at least two other vehicles were involved. 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. flags at the state capitol will be flown at half staff there, dangerous and

disruptive, and tonight police around the bay area are working together to get a handle on sideshows. so far, no one has found the key to deal with them fairly and effectively. so now local agencies are teaming up. tonight we went looking to find those solutions, and abc seven news reporter lauren martinez found a few groups hoping their ideas can help build a better bay area reporter. >> this week, a new effort to tackle the bay area wide proble. the san jose police department hosted the first of what will be a series of meetings on sideshows on wednesday evening. nearly 20 different local and regional law enforcement agencies convened at the department. they make up what's called the bay area working group on sideshows. >> we need to get smarter and coordinate and collaborate. >> mayor matt mehan spoke at the event and said it was about sharing information, something that i became aware of. >> the extent to which these sideshows are connected to

larger rings and organizations of people who are engaged in many different types of crime. >> in june, san jose police arrested seven individuals connected to a sideshow. six of them did not live within the city. mehan said sideshows are at a scale that is concerning, mehan said. if agencies work together, they will be able to respond faster and better. >> i think the hope here is that we establish stronger working relationships where there's trust. people know one another, they know they know who to go to. they can pick up the phone and can quickly share information or ask each other for advice, or maybe for real time backup. >> one idea on how to control sideshows is having sanctioned areas or a safe space. a san mateo county supervisor is suggesting this plan. >> in the 80s, we criminalized skateboarding. now we have skate parks supervisor david canepa points to areas like stockton or sacramento county, where

sideshows are allowed under certain conditions. it's done through the sheriff's office. it's a permitting process. why not give people the ability to do such? >> he's urging a region wide approach by law enforcement and county officials. >> we need as policymakers to be innovative. we need to be thinking about what the solutions are, buzz. because remember, the problem is only grown bigger over the last five years. >> in the south bay. lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> governor newsom is looking to increase public safety in oakland by expanding the number of chp patrols. it was just about a year ago when the chp was deployed to crack down on crime. the governor calls that move a success and today announced plans to build on it. newsom added. some of the people arrested could be prosecuted by the state instead of alameda county. >> we're going to move the california highway patrol from 42 shifts that they're currently

operating in oakland. we're going to increase that fourfold. we're going to have 162 shifts starting next week. we're going to focus over the course of the next four months. >> however, not everyone is on board with newsom's plan. some people think there is a better way to fight crime. >> we want our youths to stop, engaging in these acts. we have to give them resources and something to do and some guidance. right. there are programs that are proven that do those things. we're just underinvested in them. >> so far, the increased patrols have resulted in more than 500 arrests and the recovery of nearly 1200 stolen vehicles. now you can see some of those crime statistics for yourself on the abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it includes information and trends for oakland, san francisco and san jose. you can find it on our web page. just go to abc7 news.com. all right. time to jump outside with this live look from our golden gate bridge camera. finally, we are seeing the light at the end of a

communities. let's talk about the sunset tonight. 832 the sun was going down and it was just gorgeous from our tower cameras, but that extra color thanks to the haze. we also had some smoke in the upper parts of the atmosphere, and you could see it from mount tam. obviously it didn't make it down to the surface, but air quality has been in the moderate range. some spots earlier were poor. here's a look at the smoke forecast. and these fires that are burning to our south with a southerly wind will continue to see some smoke aloft. we had some this morning. you're going to see it again tomorrow morning. and then it becomes a little more diffuse as it continues to move up. so how come the smoke is coming up? because there's this area of high pressure and the wind is flowing around that clockwise. that's the same high that brought us the heat today. it will bring in one more day of this hot weather tomorrow with this heat wave. so the heat risk will be moderate to major in our inland communities. here's what you might want to look forward to. the temperatures this weekend as we look at your preview coming down. not so hot.
