those drive times this morning. >> yeah. welcome back drew. we're going to take a look at our overall map. it is showing the usual slowdown over along the altamont pass. but something unusual this morning is a two big rig crash. this is in alamo. it has shut down the northbound direction of 680 between livorna road and rutger road. you can see speeds down to zero miles per hour because, as i mentioned, the road is shut down there. so keep that in mind because one of the trucks happens to be jackknifed. and so people are working to get that off the roadway. there's no estimated time of reopening at this time. use danville road as an alternate route back to the desk. >> the republican national convention heads into day two this morning. here's a live look at milwaukee, where delegates will gather later today. donald trump is officially the republican presidential nominee, the ap reports. nikki haley is likely to speak today. she was a last minute addition to that schedule. today, we'll focus on immigration and crime with the theme make america safe once again. yesterday, trump went on to the floor as he walked

violence and addiction. in part of america's rust belt. after his book came out, vance called himself a never trump guy. in an interview with charlie rose in 2016. he later told abc news that he didn't see trump offering many solutions. vance went on to apologize for these attacks on trump during a fox news interview in 2021, as he entered the race for senator john dennis, the chairman of the san francisco republican party says delegates are excited about vance as a promising choice. >> in my mind, he's the best on foreign policy. he's very skeptical of, you know, getting into conflicts. >> clearly, uh- trump wanted to bring in someone who didn't have much baggage and someone that he didn't personally attack during the primaries, vance's wife, usha vance, joined him on stage at the republican national convention last night. >> up until yesterday, she worked as a litigator in the san francisco and washington, dc

offices of munger, tolles and olson. they've been married for ten years and share three kids together. live in studio lena howland abc seven news. >> thanks, lena. developing us authorities are concerning concerned about possible attacks and retaliation to the assassination attempt on former president trump. the fbi has issued a new bulletin warning of possible violence at election related events. it also details some of the gunman's movements ahead of the shooting. this comes as the head of the secret service is expected to testify on capitol hill next week about what went wrong. here's abc news reporter lionel moise this morning. >> a new fbi and homeland security bulletin sent to law enforcement nationwide reveals on the day of the trump rally, thomas matthew kirk purchased 50 rounds of ammunition from a gun shop in bethel park, pennsylvania. also, that two improvised explosive devices were found in his car and home, sources say. on the day of the rally, crookes, a member at a local gun club, told his father he was going to the shooting

range and that's when his father gave him the rifle used in the attack. fbi investigators say they've conducted hundreds of interviews and scoured his social media and phone, but a motive remains unclear. the secret service director sitting down with our pierre thomas calling the shooting unacceptable, promising transparency in the investigation. >> and we want to make sure that we examine everything from start to finish and if we need to change our practices, we will absolutely do that. >> so the buck stops with you. >> the buck stops with me. i am the director of the secret service, and i need to make sure that we are performing a review and that we are giving resources to our personnel as necessary. >> some have questioned how crookes was able to carry out his attack in a seemingly secure area. abc news has learned that heavily armed police were stationed inside the building, which was being used as a law enforcement staging area, but they did not see crooks climbing up the outside of the building. he had a direct line of sight to the former president, roughly

400ft away from the stage. officials say a police officer confronted him moments before. videos from the scene show people tried to alert police 86 seconds before the first shots began. following the shooting, trump and biden spoke on the phone. trump describing the call to abc's jonathan karl, saying it was very nice. he couldn't have been nicer. biden telling nbc the political climate is too heated. >> there's no place at all for violence in politics in america. none. zero. and we've reached a point where it's, it's become too commonplace. >> lionel moise, abc news, new york. >> well, following the assassination attempt on trump, the secret service now says it will provide protection to independent presidential candidate robert f kennedy jr. for months, his campaign has been requesting protection after several security incidents, the white house did not approve a secret service detail until yesterday. well, in one of those

incidents, an armed man was detained impersonating a federal officer at a campaign event. of course, the kennedy's are no stranger to this specific type of political threat. kennedy's uncle, president john f kennedy, and his father, senator robert kennedy, were both assassinated. abc news has complete coverage of the assassination attempt on donald trump and the republican national convention. all week. tune in for live reports and expert analysis. starting each night at 7 p.m. right here on abc seven. >> a hearing will continue today for a convicted killer, scott peterson, and his fight to get out of prison. peterson is serving life in prison for the murder of his wife, laci, and their unborn son, amanda. how is laci's mother responding to this hearing? >> well, reggie, in court yesterday, prosecutors read a victim impact statement from laci peterson's mother. and it read in part, when will this end? while talking about the pain of their loss and scott peterson's quote, relentless pursuit to leave prison, a judge is hearing arguments about evidence gathered during the

original murder investigation. peterson was convicted in 2004 of killing laci and their unborn son, conner. he was sentenced to death, but that was later overturned and he was resentenced to life without parole. a new team of lawyers with the la innocence project took up peterson's case. a judge previously agreed a piece of duct tape found on laci's pants could be tested for dna. both sides are making arguments for how the testing will be done and by whom. peterson's defense is arguing he is entitled to all of the prosecution's evidence, even if it wasn't presented during the original murder trial. prosecutors argued the defense is basing their case on what they're calling rumors and speculation. court resumes at nine this morning. kumasi back to you, reggie. >> i'll take it. thank you. months after antiwar protests happened at colleges across the country, we are still following the aftermath. uc regents will reportedly not be tolerating encampments in the future. they're working to create school policy to consistently handle

protests across all of its universities. according to the la times. under that new policy, protests will be allowed. but any encampment on a uc campus will be immediately removed. regents are still finalizing the rules. they have to notify students by the start of the fall term. state lawmakers ordered the university system come up with a framework they've been withholding $25 million in state funding until that report is delivered by october 1st. >> take a look at the accuweather forecast. we'll get you going on this tuesday. we do have a little bit of cloud cover along the coast and around the bay shoreline, but by 9:10 a.m. we will see full sunshine even along the coast. today will be quite lovely. afternoon sunshine really pleasant temperatures. you see, we're slow to warm today. still in the 60s by about 11 a.m. so looking at today's highs versus average in most areas will be a little bit below average. it feels very pleasant for the middle of july. temperatures 234 degrees below average in most areas. so our warmest spots will be in the 70s

and 80s today for daytime highs. so it's a lovely afternoon along the way. so here's a look at future weather. by 1025 we're seeing that bay shoreline fog breaking down. still pretty cloudy along the coast, but watch how that fog really evaporates as we head into the afternoon. by 4 p.m, even along the coast, we do expect mostly sunny skies. it will be a nice beach day. little breezy though in our coastal communities away from the coast. as you head inland for this time of the year. 70s and 80s feels very nice with full sunshine and again, those temperatures just a few degrees below average. so highs today we'll go to 67 in the city, a very mild 70 in oakland feels nice in the east bay, 80 in san jose, 78 in santa rosa. hit about 84 in concord, 85 in antioch. and then along the coast will be in the low 60s to the low 70s for daytime highs. but lots of sunshine. so take a look at the three day forecast. today is going to be the coolest day of the week. we do have warmer weather set to move in here as we head later into the week, and over the weekend. we have a lot of beautiful weather to talk about. we'll show you that coming up in

like this coyote kind of was, very stimulated by all the screaming and yelling and sort of playfulness of kids as they, as young kids are. >> and from what we're learning, it's a similar scene in the presidio's mountain lake park dog area, one that is now closed due to dogs or due to at least three dog and coyote incidents in recent weeks. i should say no dogs or humans were injured there, but the concern over these animals is, of course, heightening back to you, the desk. >> thanks, amanda, a heads up. if you take san francisco's iconic cable cars, the powell, mason and powell lines are out of service right now because of machinery issue. sfmta says bus shuttles are being provided for both lines until they get the issue solved. the agency is hoping to have this problem fixed sometime this week, starting tomorrow, there will be a new way to travel between oakland and alameda. >> we first told you about this little yellow shuttle named woodstock last week. it will run
