who would have a better chance. >> more local democrats take a stand asking president biden to step aside and san jose becomes the first city in the state to sell a new kind of home. >> good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil and i'm kristen z. >> that global technology outage has affected everything from airports to hospitals to government services. and it had impacts all across the globe. >> the computer network outage was the result of a windows update from the company known as crowdstrike, which services a global network of clients. >> airports seem to be hit hardest, causing thousands of cancellations across the globe, leaving passengers stranded and angry. >> abc seven news reporter tim johns has been following the impact that this has had on air travel for us, and he joins us now live from sfo. tim >> yeah, larry. kristen. it's been quite the day here at sfo. walk with me a little bit here and take a look at this line here inside terminal two. this

line goes from midway through the terminal here. almost out the door all the way up obviously to the ticket counters. i can tell you guys i have been here throughout the morning, all afternoon, and while it's gotten a little bit better, it's been persistent wait times for everyone here trying to get out of the bay area. thousands of passengers are stranded at sfo as airlines recover from a worldwide i.t. outage. that's crippling air travel across the globe. as of 1 p.m. friday, around 2500 flights have been canceled and 8400 delayed around the u.s, according to data from cirium. with lines almost out the door at sfo, we stopped to talk to several travelers, amy rosenthal told us she had just flown in from tokyo on her way back home to florida. she says she was completely unaware of the travel meltdown until after she landed in the bay area. >> you can't get through to anybody, on the phone with the apps not working, nothing. so we have, like, no clue what's going on. >> others, like mia lewis, were actually originally scheduled to

leave last night but had their flights canceled. >> we were literally on the plane getting ready to leave, and they pretty much said they're having a system issue and everybody needs to get off the plane. >> lewis says she's trying to get back home to baltimore to attend her grandmother's funeral. she told me since thursday night, her flight had been canceled at least three times. she got to the airport seven hours early friday to try and ensure she gets on a flight. >> just making sure if they do, like, push a time back that i'm here for whatever happens. but hopefully it doesn't go delayed again. >> it's a similar story for alex rand, who says he spent the night sleeping in the terminal. >> this is my 14th hour in sfo right now. >> oh, so you haven't left? >> oh, i haven't left. i'm on one hour of sleep and a cup of coffees. >> well, airlines are slowly recovering from outage problems. experts say getting things back to normal could take time. >> then they got to sort through getting crews back to the right spot. they got to figure out where all their airplanes are, get those to the right places. it's just kind of untangling a complicated web. >> sean cuddihy, aviation reporter for travel website the points guy, says if you're

flying out, he recommends getting to the airport early, checking in ahead of time and remembering to be patient. >> it's a busy day for the gate agents. the ticket agents yelling at them is not going to get you to your destination any faster. >> and just to give you guys an idea of how widespread this outage truly was, only 47% of every flight in the us took off on time today. larry christian so, tim, are the airlines doing anything to compensate passengers who've been impacted? >> because after all, it's crowdstrike that caused this. the airlines hadn't caused this. >> right? and, you know, that is actually something we have heard from passengers. obviously, a lot of frustration, but also a lot of understanding as well. and to answer your question, we're being told that the airlines are offering passengers the option to change their flight to a later time if they so choose, and no cost to themselves. obviously, that's something that we also see in the case of major weather events. live in sfo, tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. airports in oakland and san jose were not impacted nearly as much

as sfo. travel expert daniel green explains why. >> oakland for example, is much more heavily used by airlines like southwest uh- southwest has two advantages to the best of my understanding right now. they were not running affected systems, so they were able to keep operating. today, when airlines like united had actually halted all operations globally. united american, delta, they're some of the hardest hits. and that's why airports like sfo are really struggling this morning, because those are major hubs for those airlines. >> in oakland, just a few cancellations affecting arrivals by spirit and delta airlines in san jose, only one flight was canceled, although there were several delayed flights. >> the mess at airports is hitting a popular east bay restaurant really hard. komi. the two michelin starred restaurant in oakland, has shut down bar kitchen service through tomorrow night and that's because three of the restaurant's chefs are stuck out of town. their flights were grounded, and they're not going to make it back in time for

dinner service. the restaurant's main kitchen remains open for the full tasting menu. >> local government agencies and courthouses were also hit by the outage today. >> abc seven news reporter anser hassan has more from the east bay. >> when employees got to work friday morning ready to take on criminal cases at the alameda county superior court, there were issues due to the crowdstrike outage. >> they arrived to computers that, when they turned on, would just be that dreaded blue screen, paul wieczynski says their i-team department got to work since staff couldn't access case files. >> even more important, since criminal court cases are time sensitive, our focus was to get the criminal side up and going because those have strict deadlines and uh. >> when court hearings have to take place, brudzinski says. >> criminal court was up and running by 9:30 a.m. the civil courts fully operational a short time later in contra costa county. there were similar challenges at the district attorney's office. we are open for business and are able to do the work, but it's at a slightly

limited capacity as some computers aren't quite up. >> uh- uh- back up and running now across the east bay, cities were impacted in different ways. >> the city of hayward tells abc seven news. there was no effect on their operations in oakland. a different story the port of oakland says there were no impacts to its cargo shipping operations at the oakland seaport. but over at oakland city hall, the primary impact was employee computers. its online systems for residents are fully functioning. in a statement to abc seven news, the city of oakland says its 911 call lines remain open without elaborating. it writes public safety computer systems have now largely been restored, and both our police and fire departments are nearing full operations. the city of antioch says it was spared any disruption because of new protocols in place following a previous ransomware attack. >> we usually now wait two weeks after an update and that allows us the opportunity to ensure that that the update is sound. and so in this instance, it

wasn't. and so we were able to guard against that. >> most cities say their it departments will work through the weekend to fix any outstanding problems in the east bay. anser hassan abc seven news. >> many people had not heard of crowdstrike until today. the company is a cybersecurity firm founded in sunnyvale, but now based in austin. it provides cloud security and cyber attack response. crowdstrike has worked with the us government on responding to global hacks and cyber espionage coming from russia, china and north korea. it was the first to issue an alert about russian interference in the 2016 election. this morning, its ceo responded to the faulty security update that caused global computer systems to crash. >> i want to personally apologize to every organization, every group and every person who's been impacted by this, and we understand the gravity of the situation. >> crowdstrike stock fell 11% today as a result of the global computer outage. >> now, earlier today, we spoke

with doctor grant keene from cal state east bay department of communication. and he says we're only going to see more of these types of events as we continue to rely on technology, the things that we haven't really even thought about for example, electric vehicles that are joined to networks that get software pushed to them from a server. >> now, what happens when we have more of that technology on the roads and something like this happens and being prepared for that kind of scenario, i think is really important. you know, it's one thing to have a flight canceled, but it's an entirely other thing to suddenly have chaos in our on our highways, there are things we can do, you know, as individuals and as, as, society and a culture that we can build in the kinds of redundancies and safeguards that will help us with this kind of thing in the future. >> keene says there are many

lessons to take from this, including beefing up the backup systems as mentioned, and exploring areas of networking not impacted this time around. of course, we're going to continue to follow this story here on the air and online to keep up with the latest updates, visit abc seven news.com or download the abc seven bay area app and enable those push alerts. >> turning to the weather, it's hot even kind of here in san francisco. but there's some good news. >> spencer, give us the good news. >> let me start with fairly good. and that is it's really hot right now in our inland areas especially. here's a look at our current temperature readings. and we have numerous readings at or above 100 degrees, including 103 at brentwood and concord, 105 at fairfield, 103 at saint helena, santa rosa, 104. so you get the picture is really hot. and of course, it's no surprise that our heat advisory remains in effect until 11:00 tonight for all of the bay area away from the coast and the bay shoreline. and under this excessive heat of

course, heat related illnesses are more likely to occur now. for tomorrow we get a little bit of a break. in fact, a two day break starting tomorrow and going into the weekend inland highs will reach only into the low to mid 90s. as you can see on those two graphics. but on monday, the triple digits return and they are going to reside here for a while. i'll have the accuweather seven day forecast coming up just a little bit later, larry. >> all right, spencer, see you in a few minutes. with that, a warning from pg and e about a possible psps public safety power shut off happening this weekend. possibly that's due to high winds and dry conditions. the potential shut off could affect a small amount of customers in alameda and contra costa counties. about 500 have been notified. >> a victory today for east san jose residents who have been fighting to keep a trauma center open. today, regional medical center announced it's canceling plans to close its trauma, heart attack and stroke centers. regional will change its designation from level two to level three trauma center, which still allows it to provide

intensive trauma care. it's also revamping its acute heart attack program to have a cardiologist available 24 hours a day. hca healthcare, which owns regional medical center, says the stroke center will address the needs of 97% of patients coming up on abc seven news at four. >> more calls for president biden to pass the torch on to the next generation of politicians. the future of homebuying, how it could be cheaper to buy a tiny slice of security and a han heist, a rooster caper, perhaps some foul play at work, the mystery that's unfolding in the south bay this long to get put on the shelf like a porcelain doll. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and are at high risk for fracture, you can build new bone with evenity®. ask your doctor if you can do more than just slowing down bone loss with evenity®. want stronger bones? then build new bone; evenity® can help in just 12 months.

have now joined the growing number of democrats were calling on president biden to drop out of the presidential race. the latest south bay representative, zoe lofgren, releasing a statement this morning saying in part, simply put, your candidacy is on a trajectory to lose the white house and potentially impact crucial house and senate races down ballot. and today, lofgren told abc seven news her reasons behind that letter. >> the message is we need to beat donald trump full stop. he's a threat to the democracy. he's unfit to be president. and i'm concerned from the data that

president biden will fall short of that. i've asked him to step aside for a candidate who would have a better chance of beating donald trump. but in the end, it's president biden's decision. >> north bay congressman jared huffman joined three other members of congress as well in sending this joint statement to the president. it reads. it is now time for you to pass the torch to a new generation of democratic leaders. democrats have a deep and talented bench of younger leaders, led by vice president kamala harris, who you have lifted up, empowered and prepared for this moment. >> you can really feel the momentum that's building here and it's not just lawmakers. a grassroots organization is asking president biden to please pass the torch. >> abc news reporter christiane cordero has the latest from washington. >> today, president joe biden is recovering from covid in his delaware home. his campaign continuing on the trail despite the diagnosis and dwindling

support from within the party. >> you have heard from the president directly time and again, he is in this race to win, and he is our nominee, and he's going to be our president for a second term. >> but sources tell abc news the president is more receptive to hearing concerns about his candidacy, as suggested by senator chris, a close ally and campaign co-chair. i think our president is weighing what he should weigh, which is who is the best candidate to win in november and to carry forward the democratic party's values and priorities in this campaign. senate majority leader chuck schumer, house minority leader hakeem jeffries and former house speaker nancy pelosi have all shared concerns that biden staying in the race could drag down democrats in the house and senate. dozens of congressional democrats are urging biden to step aside. and now a new grassroots organization called pass the torch has released tv ads with the same message. >> be the leader. we know you are. pass the torch, joe. >> pass the torch says it's a network of democratic activists, organizers and voters whose main goal is to defeat donald trump.

in november, biden released a statement today saying he plans to get back on the campaign trail next week. focus, the president says, on exposing the threat of project 2025. the president has tied that agenda to donald trump. the trump campaign has repeatedly tried distancing itself from it. christiane cordero abc news, washington. >> and we are one month away now from the democratic national convention. that will be august 19th to the 22nd in chicago. abc will host the next presidential debate, currently set for september 10th, and it's unclear if or when the vice presidential candidates will debate. but election day is on november 5th. >> we're now getting a clearer timeline of the attempted assassination of former president trump. it suggests there were numerous opportunities to stop thomas crooks, but doesn't really reveal whether concerns about him were actually sent to the secret service. crooks was first spotted by a local swat team member at 5:10 p.m. last

saturday, then four minutes later, his photo was taken by a member of a sniper team at 532. a sniper noticed crooks had a rangefinder nine minutes after he was spotted lurking around a building. about 6 p.m, police requested more information about his exact whereabouts. police began to move in on him six minutes later. then, at 612, the shots were fired. police confirmed crooks was dead just after 630, but still many more questions than answers at this point. >> all right. now we're going to shift gears because it is friday. we've got the weekend ahead and hopefully a little cool down, >> i don't think we're going to get that actually. spencer. probably more 100 degree locations than not 100 degree locations for now. >> yes. but over the weekend there will be a shift toward something more comfortable. but it won't last very long. let's take a look at the satellite radar composite image. you can see that big ridge of high pressure that has been the dominant factor in our weather the last couple of days, bringing us the heat wave, but or the wave of heat, i should

say it hasn't lasted long enough yet to call it a heat wave, but that high is being nudged eastward just a little bit by a trough to our northwest, which it will account for the cool down over the weekend. so we've got breezy conditions right now, and those breezes may increase over the weekend as the temperatures drop right now we're looking at 23 mile per hour winds at sfo, gusts up at novato 23mph. and we'll see some stronger winds during the afternoon hours next couple of days. but check out the 24 hour temperature change. it is so much warmer, 5 to 9 degrees, generally warmer right now than at this time yesterday. and some locations like napa and santa rosa, 12 to 15 degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. so let's check out the current readings as we look out over san francisco from sutro tower, 69 degrees right now in the city, 80 to 84 at oakland and hayward, mid 90s right now at san jose and redwood city, and 66 at half moon bay. notice the absence of fog at the golden gate, generally indicating a pretty warm weather this time of the year when you don't see the fog there. and this time of the day, 104 at santa rosa, right now 86 petaluma, napa 91 and low 100

101 to 105 at fairfield, concord and livermore. now we'll check out our forecast headlines. triple digit heat has its last hurrah today, but for a short time over the weekend, the heat will ease briefly, which will be great, bringing us some nice comfortable weather. but next week the excessive heat returns for most of the week. in fact, now the heat advisory this in effect the last couple of days will expire tonight at 11. but until then, there's still the increased risk of heat related illnesses because that heat is going to linger into the nighttime hours forecast animation shows some drizzle offshore during the overnight hours, and just a little bit of a marine layer more than we saw last night. advancing, expanding along the coastline first and then advancing locally out over the bay overnight. so we'll start the morning tomorrow with some lingering light low clouds overnight. low temperatures generally in the upper 50s to low 60s and highs tomorrow. low 60s at the coast, mid 70s around the bay shoreline. nice and cozy and comfortable inland areas

will warm up to only low to mid 90s in the warmest spots tomorrow. and look at sunday. even cooler. a nice seasonal range of inland highs only in the upper 80s. we haven't seen that for a while. that sounds like february weather compared to what we're having now, but look at all of next week. well, virtually all of it. monday through thursday. triple digit heat inland and upper 80s to even maybe some low 90s around the bay shoreline. but by the end of the week, next friday, we're expecting the heat to ease just a little bit. that may indicate a cooler weekend coming our way next weekend. >> similar. >> may similar? >> well, it tends to suggest. >> yes. okay. >> looking at all those temperatures, i'm going to be begging to come to work next week just to be inside to have air conditioning, right? >> that's pretty shocking. >> go. i'll alert the media. yeah >> no work from home for larry. >> oh, well, you know, that's not totally off the table, but bay area power couple kyle and kristen yewcic have a busy month ahead. for one, he's preparing

for 40 niners training camp, and she's busy sewing new designs for her refashioned clothing line. >> this morning, they appeared on abc7 news to talk about some exciting news coming soon and trading august like my own sewing training camp. >> i'm trying to get all my designs in. we got some good pieces coming up for certain celebrities that we cannot mention, but really excited. we're trying to get this brand up and coming, >> look, it it's incredible. >> it's incredible creation. >> yeah. kristen got famous by because of that right. the kansas city chiefs jacket that she designed worn by taylor swift. she's now a hot commodit. more instagram followers than her pro athlete husband. >> well you know association with taylor swift has that effect. actually all right. coming up if you're not a fan of snakes and i'm not sure i know many people who are. well, hang on, because this story might help new research that could take a big bite out of venom. we'll have the details up next. >> we're just two days away from

>> yeah, and it's happening right here in the bay area. spencer christian, the least snakey person i know in the world. let's hear what the details. okay. >> well, you're right, it is happening here in our backyard, which is great news. researchers from the academy of sciences encounter exotic creatures from around the world. sometimes beautiful, sometimes deadly. but now one researcher is testing a way to make those encounters safer. rattlesnakes are always lurking in the collective imagination here in california. but for researchers at the california academy of sciences, rattlesnakes are just one of hundreds of venomous snakes one might encounter in jungles and deserts around the world. >> yeah, this is a mamba. >> from kenya, as manager of the academy's herpetology collection, lauren sheinberg has seen just about everything that slithers, including some of the deadliest snakes on the planet. those international expeditions have helped to build the collection into a world class resource for science. still, the danger remains real. several

decades ago, an academy researcher died after a fatal bite in northern myanmar, and sheinberg says researchers take extreme caution when doing field work. >> i do, i mean, it's good to stay vigilant. i'm always thinking about it and just being safe, as safe as i can be when i'm out there. >> but several years ago, fellow scientist and doctor matthew lewin thought maybe he could help make their work. even safer. after returning from an expedition to the philippines, he set out to discover what could be described as a versatile venom blocker, a drug that could potentially save lives around the world. >> i had this idea. wouldn't it be nice if you had an antidote to snake bite that you could take in the field? because 75% of the deaths from snake bite occur prior to the patient getting to the hospital, and not unlike the snakes he studies, lewin's path took unexpected twists and turns. >> he wanted to look at existing medications, but needed to identify a target the drug could work on. he eventually zeroed in on a specific toxic element in snake venom, known as spla2.

>> 95% of the world's snakes use a toxin called spla2, and so because you see it in snakes from africa, asia, north america, australia, you could imagine that this is a very important toxin to the snakes. >> after some trial and error, lewin identified an anti-inflammation drug that he believed could potentially interrupt this key venom toxin. >> so this is what the drug looks like in its raw form. >> lewin's team has secured fda approval for clinical trials data from those trials are still being evaluated, but show early promise with real snakebite victims in hospital settings where the drug has been tested so far. if the drug is ultimately approved, lewin believes it could fulfill its original goal reaching people who need it most. >> people who will benefit most from this will be the people who actually can afford it. the least 98% of the world's victims of snakebite live in poverty, a global effort also helping fellow academy scientists

continue research around the world. >> we still have an active field program. collections are still something that are alive and thriving. >> there are anti-venom venoms available now, but they typically have have to be refrigerated and then given through an injection in a hospital setting. and they tend to be specific. they tend to be species specific. so this would be a big advance if it's available in remote areas around the world. very encouraging news. >> yeah. fascinating research as well. definitely. yeah. thank you spencer. we all know it's really difficult to buy a home in the bay area. but now one south bay city is trying to make it easier. the first in california to actually try this out. and some foul play in the south bay. >> the mysterious disappearance of a six foot rooster. what

welcome to jack in the box. now. >> yeah, they've been looking for a way to raise money, maybe to help out a relative. and now they can help people get into affordable homes. a new law passed in january allows those adus to be sold separately from the main house. >> abc7 news reporter suzanne phan has more on this path to affordable home ownership. >> people are surprised at how small of a footprint you actually need for an adu. >> dan kiernan built his 500 square foot adu behind his five bedroom home back in 2021. he says. everyone who's rented his place loves it for the space. >> high ceilings, 15ft. there's a contained bedroom, kitchen, bathroom. >> now, instead of renting out the adu, he can actually sell it

like a condo. >> it opens the door for homeownership. >> we are in a huge housing shortage all over california. we are trying to desperately catch up and find a way to build more housing. >> right now, many cities allow for adus, which are a lot like backyard cottages or in-law units or casitas. san jose has received twice as many adu applications as oakland, and four times as many as san francisco in january, assemblyman phil ting's bill ab 1033 became law allowing property owners to sell their adus like condominiums separate from their home. cities have to go one step further and adopt an ordinance to allow for that law to take effect. other cities like berkeley are trying to adopt the ordinance, but san jose stepped up first this week. >> san jose became the first city in california to implement ab 1033. >> san jose mayor matt mehan says this is a big win for his city. >> it was create accessible homeownership, particularly for young people, for people aging

out of their larger homes on a fixed income. and it becomes a source of revenue. >> mayor mehan says. this couldn't have come at a better time. >> silicon valley has added about six jobs for every one new home that we've built, and the new homes that we are building are slow to build and they're expensive. and this creates a much more accessible form of home ownership. >> kiernan already has a buyer in mind for his adu. his in-laws in sacramento have been wanting to move to the bay area for a while now, but haven't been able to afford it, he says. now they can buy a home in san jose and be super close to family in san jose. suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. >> berkeley might be the next bay area city to opt into the state law, now allowing people to buy an adu. in may, berkeley city council unanimously approved moving a proposal forward. it will now head to the planning department. the council member, who wrote the measure hopes it will come back to the council for final approval within a year. >> in the south bay, something foul is going on. >> the foul is a well known six

foot tall metal rooster that was stolen from right out in front of a campbell's store. >> the owner of california home and garden on winchester boulevard says thieves just rolled it down the sidewalk. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez has a look at the theft that's ruffling feathers. >> look at this. look at him. look at him, look at them, look at them. that's that's a nice shot, right there. see >> surveillance cameras captured thieves stealing a six foot metal rooster in broad daylight. i was in in a shock and disbelief because it's. >> this has been here. >> nassar. kerala owns california home and garden off winchester boulevard in campbel. every morning for the past nine and a half years, kerala and his wife have wheeled this large rooster out in front of their store and wheeled it back at closing. >> it's not quite heavy. it's probably about 85 pounds to 90 pounds. >> on wednesday afternoon, kerala said his surveillance cameras captured a man lingering

around the rooster, his neighbor. surveillance cameras captured a better shot of the man running down winchester with it and then stuffing it in the back of a car. >> well, i really like to tell that guy how the hell is he able to fit it in that little civic kerala would bring that rooster with him to garden shows and events. i take it because a is a is a show stopper and it makes people happy, especially with kids. >> when you think of campbell landmarks, you may think of the water tower or the pruneyard, but people we spoke to were familiar of the rooster. >> it's like stealing a mascot that is kind of iconic, i believe, because, you know, every time i go by there, i see it now. now that i know it's not there, i won't see it. >> i drive by it every day. on my way home from work, we spoke with ken johnson, executive director with the chamber of commerce. >> he said it was just on wednesday, campbell police held a meeting with business owners regarding retail theft. police said kerala did report the rooster stolen on thursday. >> we have him, we got him, we got the license plate. we're gonna get you, buddy. it's not

about the materialistic value of it. it's more about sentimental value. >> in campbell, lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> like, what are you going to do with that thing? why would you steal it? san francisco's first indoor mini golf course has received an instagrammable upgrade, and its grand opening is actually today. holy moly features a pair of nine hole mini golf courses, each with its own unique theme. it's located on south van ness in the mission district at the former location of urban putt, and we talked with holy moly's general manager matt ortiz earlier on our midday live show. >> this is our fourth location and our courses are completely different, a hole here was one of my favorites is make it rain. it's actually a cash grab course where the dollar bills are blowing around in your face. distraction while you're while you're putt putting. >> i'm just locked in on the dollars there. i'm just like, i got to get in that that little box, holy moly. is family friendly, mini golf course. it does become 21 and over. by the

way, after 8 p.m, featuring instagram worthy cocktails. so they got a lot of stuff going on there. >> all right, back to the office and even on saturdays and appointment shopping, it's become a thing. the 4 but uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia, started disrupting my day. td felt embarrassing. i felt like disconnecting. i asked my doctor about treating my td, and learned about ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ ingrezza is clinically proven for reducing td. most people saw results in just two weeks. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. only number-one prescribed ingrezza has simple dosing for td: always one pill, once daily. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have thoughts of suicide. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including angioedema, potential heart rhythm problems, and abnormal movements. report fevers, stiff muscles,

dream. a six day work week is becoming common for startups. a biotech firm called latch bio has posted job listings that lay it out. employees work six days a week. this apparently is not a new concept. a six day work week is common in china, and we recently told you about greece adopting the model. let me be the first to say i want 1,000% opposed to this idea. spencer. >> well, have you ever worked six days in a week or a month? oh no no, no. sorry. sorry, larry. poor larry, just helping you forget larry. oh my. does this six day work week come with more than one day off? >> well, you only got seven days in a week. >> i know, but i mean, look, do you work six days and get two days off and start another six? >> no, i think they're just being honest about what has been happening forever in the startup world, which is like, you work long and hard because you're always trying to meet the next metric, get the next round of funding, beat the others to market. so, but they're being

open and transparent about it. ama. well, i'm out. >> it's one thing if you're the owner of the company or you're part of the ownership team, but if you're simply an employee, come on. >> when ama and i finally start that startup, we're not hiring you, larry. that's all i got to say. well, it's one thing. >> if you want to work that muc, but i don't know. >> yeah, i would love to, but i'm busy. okay. >> busy shopping, perhaps. because now to a possible new luxury shopping trend, appointments only saks fifth avenue in san francisco's union square will soon become appointment only. the company says the goal is to improve shoppers experience. the retailer also already has many stores in some high end hotels that operate on that model, including ones in napa and palo alto. so think of the bespoke experience which spencer i'm sure you know about. >> well, i don't know if i've shopped at a store that has that as a fixed policy, but i do make appointments for some of my clothing shopping for, you know, some of my higher end stuff that

i wear. i make a specific appointment at a time and date when i know that not only my preferred sales person will be there, but the tailor as well. >> yeah, and no paparazzi. they're following you around constantly. it's just such a pain. also, i think from a security standpoint for some stores this, you know, jewelry stores do it. a stanford mall i think is one of them where, you know, they have the guards in front. and if you don't have an appointment, you're not getting in. yeah and it does provide a little bit more security in, in that context. all right. >> school dress codes are coming back in style. right larry. >> absolutely. 1 in 5 schools now have dress codes in pennsylvania. students can only wear solid colors. meanwhile, in el paso, black is banned out of concern. the color causes depression. a mental health and bullying are just some of the reasons that schools are turning more to uniforms. i never heard about the color and the depression thing, but i do know having two daughters, that it was always an issue depending on

the school, depending on the teacher, you know they don't like the spaghetti straps. understood it's 100 degrees out. but you know what can you wear? what you can't wear. and there's it's hard to have like a uniform policy on all this for all the schools and every place. >> and if you're going to put in strictly, you have to wear solids, okay. if you're a private school, maybe. but for a public school, if you're going to require people to go out and buy a bunch of new stuff and i don't know, i'm not about i like having some rules and regulation keep chaos from getting out of control. but i feel like you also have to be able to express some personal preference, creativity. otherwise you're just in a bottle. then you might rebel in other ways. i don't know what's wrong with stripes or polka dots or, i don't know, too distracting. >> i agree with emma. i mean, we need to be able to express some individuality, right? yeah, yeah, yeah. i mean, within certain parameters. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> i mean, the only good thing i can think of about uniforms or very specifics is that maybe

your kids won't be bugging you once they turn a certain age. like, i have to have this brand or, you know, i want more. and yeah, right. but but i think it's kind of up to each school community. yeah, yeah, yeah. so. okay, the boss is now a billionaire. forbes estimates bruce springsteen is now worth $1.1 billion. springsteen has been rock and roll royalty of course, for decades, but his recent fortune mostly comes from selling his music catalog to sony for $500 million a few years ago. his recent tour generated an additional $380 million. >> wow. >> wow is right. >> anybody contribute to his, you know, fortune? >> i would like to go to one of his concerts. the one thing that i really respect about what he does is when he gets up and plays, he's playing for like three straight hours. i mean, the man is working. it's not like they do a couple songs and then, you know, you're out. i mean, he's he's really putting in the time. spencer. >> yeah, he is. he gives you a show. he's the ultimate performer, don't you think? and

he's authentic. he's a guy from jersey who's proud of it. yeah >> so larry sounds like you are for hard work. six days a week, maybe. only if i start with five. >> kristen. let's just keep it basic. >> only if i can be the boss, that's it for the four at four. even with statins and a healthy diet... listen to your heart. talk to your doctor about repatha. repatha plus a statin lowers ldl-c (bad cholesterol) by 63%, and drops the risk of having a heart attack.

do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions. signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. talk to your doctor about repatha.

issues of caste. it looks through the lenses of racism, sexism, and other various human hierarchies in america while drawing from the themes in her landmark film origin. >> ava duvernay sat down with sade baderinwa from our sister station in new york. >> for you, it's really about changing the entire conversation to begin with, because people talk about racism, sexism, ageism, and as you said, there are all of these constructs that are sitting actually on top of the caste system. why is it so important to change that conversation? >> well, because i think, you know, we're all solving for a math problem. you know, whatever you care about, if you care about racism, sexism, if you care about trans people, if you if you like folks, if you don't like folks, we're all trying to figure this thing out, but we are missing a component of the equation. if you're not talking about cash, how can you ever solve the problem if you don't

know all of the parts? and we've just been skipping over caste and acting as if it only happens in india, when really we're in the midst of it, all of our structures, our systems, our social systems sit on top of and are predicated by, activated by caste. so you really can't have informed conversations about all these isms unless you understand what caste is. >> and don't you think that's a core of what the caste system is and how that can actually be brought into everyone's everyday life to say, am i doing something that is bringing another person down? is it through my thinking? is it through my actions? yeah, absolutely. >> am i doing something that diminishes someone else? am i doing something that props up my dominance? i have to think in doing this film, you know, who, who do i feel a little bit better than? do i feel better than the man who comes and mows my lawn? do i feel better than, you know, the person at the convenience store that i buy things from? do i treat him with the same respect that i would treat a ceo? if you're treating people differently based on what

you perceive their identity to be, there's something to explore there within ourselves. and so whoever you're dealing with is someone's child, it's someone's father or mother is someone's loved ones. and deserves your respect because you are truly no better. and all of these isms are really myths that we've told ourselves that are simply untrue. and if we don't want to live in an illusion and be deluded, we should realize that and abide accordingly. >> you can watch our america hidden stories tomorrow night at 830 right here on abc seven. >> all right. we're heading straight into what should be a nice weekend and then blistering heat, blistering. >> that's the right word. spencer. >> yeah, i think we're all looking forward to that cool down over the weekend. but right now we still have that blistering heat and we still have a heat advisory in effect until 11:00 tonight for virtually all of the bay area away from the coast line and the and the bay shoreline. so once again, try to limit your exposure to that extreme heat. it will be dissipating over the weekend. tomorrow we'll see

inland highs reaching only into the low to mid 90s in many locations that had triple digits today. even cooler on sunday, as you see here on the accuweather seven day forecast. inland highs will reach only to the mid to upper 80s in the warmest spots, but the triple digits will be back next week, monday through thursday. we expect inland highs to range from 100 to about 104, upper 80s to near 90 around the bay shoreline in the middle of the week. maybe towards the end of the week, as you see that heat easing, we can expect another weekend following this one. that will be just as cool and pleasant as this one. larry and kristen. all right. >> thank you spencer. a rare vehicle with a hollywood style story is now up for auction. take a look at this. it's the 1938 alfa romeo lungo spider. fewer than 50 were made. only five remain. this particular car was actually stolen a couple of years ago, recently recovered by the fbi. the insurance company paid out the claim, and now that car is going to be auctioned off at pebble beach next month. the alfa romeo is expected to sell for $20 million.

>> wow. i'd be too afraid to drive it or scratch. >> like, where are you going to take it? like you can go to the parking lot at safeway. you look at it. >> yeah. no, just. yeah, >> you can catch up with the stars of a popular documentary right here in the bay area. >> the soccer stars from welcome to wrexham are on their wrex coast have you been injured on a job site? call the barnes firm n we handleyou been injured construction accident ca if i was injured on a job site i'd call the bar wei wasn't sure what to do. coi called the barnet ca ibest call i could have madite i'd call the bar wei had a serious fall. do. coi called the barnet ca ibestthey got me theave madite i'd cbest result po weinjured on a job site?do. cocall the barnes firmca ibestt♪ the barnes firm,madite i'd cbinjury attorneys ♪

for abc seven news at 11. all right. if you're a fan of the fx show, welcome to wrexham. get ready. the welsh soccer team is in california for their wrex coast tour. next wednesday. they'll be here in the bay area at levi's stadium, and today they're in southern california. reporter ashley mackey, from our sister station in la caught up with the team. >> look at the ball here. that's a tall dj. >> they've traveled all the way from wrexham, wales to west coast, california. you may have seen this football club on your tv screens. the docu series welcome to wrexham follows the third oldest professional football club as they climb the ranks and now they're on their wrex coast tour. >> we don't have to be into football to enjoy the documentary and it gives you an insight to players lives, the locals, the community. it's really well made and i think there's something for everyone in it, which is probably why it's done so well. >> it's really good to see all

the crew and all the documentary stuff doing really well, you know, and it only just helps us and shows us a bit of our story. it's put wales and wrexham more on the map worldwide. >> obviously the football club has got a great history and it it's a privilege to play for the club anyway. but obviously the added bonus of the documentary and all the things that go with that. yeah, it's a special club at the moment. >> the club was bought by actors ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney in 2020, and since then the team has promoted twice in two years, grown their fan base and their docu series has racked up quite a few emmy wins and nominations, including six more nominations this year. but for the team, it's always football. >> first, you have to actually go to wrexham to see what it's done for a whole community, a whole town, it's incredible what they've done. not that wrexham is sort of a place where if the football club's doing well, everyone's doing well. >> i'll make sure every time we go on the pitch we give everything and it's quite a basic thing to say. but, you know, i would say that the lads

we were representing wrexham, which is a working class town, it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon. >> all episodes of welcome to wrexham are streaming on hulu. reporting from ucla, ashley mackie, abc seven news. >> and we should point out it's not just the men's team. the women's soccer stars are also playing on the tour. and if you're wondering, tickets are still available for wednesday's game at levi's stadium. all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news at four. i'm larry beil, abc seven news at five is up next
