6:03 pm
encourage people to vote. this november. he said he remains committed to finishing his term, focused on growing the economy and doing right by american families. all right, so let's dive a little deeper into what the president had to say tonight. yes. joining us now, abc seven news insider phil matier historical moment. phil, give us your first impressions. >> without a doubt, an historical moment in unprecedented times. and what we saw tonight was a president that was very i would say he was calm. some would say slow. he was reading from a teleprompter. at times. he stumbled. okay, let's be honest about it. he did not look at top form, but he what we got was what were one of the intentions. at least i would think with all the network coverage was to reassure the american people and the world that things are okay in america and in the white house and although he's leaving the race, he's in command of his faculties and he's commander in chief. i didn't hear a lot of that about, you know, how i'm here and where we're going. that way. what we got was we're here. and then a
6:04 pm
political stump speech, right? largely a stump speech about the upcoming election. but that's what he decided to deliver. it was a political statement because it was a political decision from him to withdraw. yeah. right. >> but and he did say, i will spend the next six months running the country and also campaigning gets here a little bit more about what the president had to say. watch this. >> the great thing about america is here, kings and dictators do not rule. the people do. history is in your hands. the power is in your hands. the idea of america lies in your hands. >> again, casting this race as between two very, very different approaches to running america. what wasn't in this speech, phi? >> well, didn't he say, let's take a look. first of all, we didn't get a reason for him stepping aside. we said he's passing the torch on. but why? >> he did not address his capabilities, obviously on purpose. >> right. or the polling or the movement from party leaders and such like that. okay. we can
6:05 pm
understand that. why go over that? that's what it's done. it was interesting he didn't mention the democratic convention and he didn't also mention the assassination attempt on donald trump. i mean, this is what america has seen. we've seen we saw the debate. we've seen an assassination attempt. we've seen an unprecedented transfer of attempted power. you know, to vice president kamala harris. they take it take the torch. we didn't hear that either, that this is we've never seen this is very brief. and none of that was addressed there. he made reference to trump being, you know, and we heard about dictators and such like that and political violence, but we didn't hear about how did the secret service get a 20 year old allowed on a roof and get a clear shot? these weren't addressed. so, you know, the good news is that americans are okay without that, we're going about our daily lives. we're watching tv tonight. we came home from work, we're going to have dinner. we're going to go to work tomorrow. we are a remarkably calm country for what's going on. >> well, and a lot happened all
6:06 pm
that in just ten days. >> don't forget, he was secluded for covid as well. that's right. so like i said, to come out of that and address the world in the country we're doing, i think, okay, where do we go from here? remains to be seen. >> i mean, we have, what, 100 plus days to the election? >> exactly. we do. and this was clearly a stump speech to put kamala harris in in the forefront and to be honest about it, most bay area democrats and stuff are already listening to her. they've already moved on to that. >> and he's made it very clear he will support her fully. campaign for her absolutely, 100% support. >> it is. and like i said, for i know that we're democracy is being tested, but i think so far we're doing okay on our day to day lives. all right. >> all right. thanks, phil, very much. >> all right. thank you. phil. abc network coverage of president biden. the decision addressed to the nation will air at 10 p.m. that is tonight, followed by abc seven news at 11. >> right now, let's focus on the upcoming election a little bit more. new cnn poll shows vice president kamala harris doing

6:12 pm
gaza, whom they think can still sway the election against democrats. and i think those people's position still holds right. and their ask is very clear, which is that the nominee for the democratic party should embody the values of that constituency base, realign herself with what the people of her party want, and the mass majority of americans want, they add. if harris plans to run as a prosecutor president against former president trump, they hope she applies the same standard to international law in san francisco, anser hassan abc seven news. >> this is the third and final day of the heat wave. the inland parts of the bay area have been dealing with this week, as that old ad campaign used to say, you deserve a break today and you get it. >> spencer christian is here with the forecast. >> that break is right around the corner and i appreciate the emphasis on final day. we still have our heat advisory in effect for parts of the bay area until 11:00 tonight. that would be the east bay hills and interior valleys, the santa clara valley
6:13 pm
and the east santa clara hills. but again, this is going to expire at 11:00 tonight. and the cool down begins tomorrow. right now we're looking at very warm conditions still in our inland areas, but tomorrow we'll see high temperatures in our inland areas that have been in the triple digits the last three days in the mid to upper 90s, in the warmest spots. further cooling will follow on friday and on saturday, with temperatures finally dropping below average for this time of the year over the weekend. all good news and i'll have more good news in my accuweather seven day forecast. a little bit later. >> dan and ama okay spencer, thanks so much. they say actions speak louder than words. how walking lake merritt could mean building a better bay area for oakland. >> plus, i don't know, like where to start because every day i was just fighting with them for adequate care for my father. >> the i-team with one family's story of leukemia. love and loss
6:15 pm
6:16 pm
hearing from the family of a man who died while in the care of a nursing home in east oakland. i-team reporter stephanie sierra has their plea for justice tonight. she is in the newsroom with the story. stephanie. yes, dan. >> the story told in this complaint is sadly a familiar reality among low staffed nursing homes. the allegations accuse this local facility of chemically restraining a man for, quote, convenience without any consultation from his doctor. and this lawsuit does claim it was a substantial factor that caused his death. >> i was hurt, i was scared lik,
6:17 pm
for him, it was just bad. >> kiyomi williams admitted her father orlando into windsor health care center of oakland following his leukemia diagnosi. now she's suing them. >> it was a horror movie. >> less than a month after his admission to the facility, her father was found dead in his be. after what this complaint alleges was reckless overmedication with sedatives and narcotics. williams allegedly faced untold pain, suffering and injury as a result of the reckless neglect and abuse from staff at the facilit, according to the complaint filed in alameda county, superior court. >> i was under the impression that it was a 4.5 facility, but when i got there, it was just totally unacceptable. >> on december 14th, 2022, several days after being admitted, the complaint alleges williams reportedly eloped from the building and his daughter
6:18 pm
found him by a nearby crosswalk. >> i made a big fuss about it. that's when you know, they start medicating him and every time i come there he was unable to talk. >> the facility allegedly never reported that incident to state regulators, which the complaint claims is required by state law. instead, the complaint alleged the facility secured a physician's order for ativan, a sedative and morphine narcotic, to prevent him from getting away. >> that's basically chemically restraining someone, but it's a it's a very, in compassionate way to deal with people, and it can be deadly, as it was in this case. >> the legal document also claimed during her father's entire stay at the facility, unqualified staff heavily dosed him with sedatives and narcotics without directly consulting with his doctor, which was required by the facility and the physician's order. >> large doses of ativan that was the ultimate cause of his his death and that's a horrible way to die. >> the i-team reached out to
6:19 pm
windsor health care center of oakland, along with some of its parent companies, for further comment, including the parent company's ceo, billionaire businessman shlomo rechnitz, who owns dozens of nursing home facilities across the state. but we have yet to hear back. the facility is part of a larger network of nursing homes that have been scrutinized in recent years, the complaint alleges. the company presents false representations and manipulates that five star rating system with respect to staffing and quality of care, according to care compare, a federal oversight arm for nursing homes. the facility has a four out of five star rating on medicare's website. >> we've got five current pending cases against him and his facilities, and that's one hallmark in all these cases is that they are significantly understaffed. >> now. there was another case out of sacramento county in 2020 that involved the use of ativan and the drugging of a patient. and while that particular lawsuit did not involve any of the defendants in this case, the
6:20 pm
outcome did result in a $42 million verdict. so we'll of course, be following this case closely. >> all right. thank you so much, stephanie. and we are following the story of a topic stephanie reported yesterday. oakland is now a step closer to a $6 million upgrade to a critical police department system. the city council's public safety committee did approve the plan to replace the police department's record management system with modern, cloud based software. the new system is being heavily vetted after oakland was hacked last year, the full oakland city council will take up the contract on tuesday. all right, let's go to the weather. >> it will not be the big chill. exactly, but it is cooling off a good bit. >> we'll take any chill. spencer >> compared to the heat we've had, it might feel like a big chill. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. you can see the shifting of weather systems. high pressure to our east is moving away a trough of low pressure to our north, bringing us a cooling onshore flow. and we're feeling that breeze right now with wind speeds at the surface generally about 20 to 25mph, that will be
6:21 pm
a big contributing factor to the cool down over the next several days. in fact, it's already cooling down despite the heat that lingers in the inland areas. you can see the 24 hour temperature change shows most of our inland areas anywhere from seven to about ten degrees cooler than they were yesterday, which indicates just how hot they were yesterday. 67 degrees in san francisco, right now, 73. in oakland, we have 81 at hayward, upper 80s at san jose and redwood city, 64 at half moon bay. looking northward, san jose center, san jose, santa rosa right now 82 degrees, 79 apiece at petaluma and napa, 94 at fairfield and right around 90 at concord. and livermore. so on we go to this heat advisory, which has been in effect since 11:00 monday morning. it expires tonight at 11 p.m, and there's still a risk of heat related illnesses in with overexposure to this kind of heat. but again, that threat will diminish as and disappear actually as that heat advisory is lifted overnight. look for low temperatures mainly in the upper 50s to low 60s near the coast in bay, mid to upper 60s in many warm inland areas.
6:22 pm
and highs tomorrow well still pretty warm inland. we'll see some mid to upper 90s in places like concord, antioch and livermore, but generally the cool down will be underway tomorrow and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. notice. the drop in temperatures on friday and saturday only mid 80s inland in the warmest spots on friday and saturday only up to about 80 degrees or lower, which is quite a bit below average for this time of the year. so cool for july going through the weekend. minor warming will occur early next week, but only bringing temperatures back up to the normal range for this time of the year, but nothing extreme at all. and no heat wave again for a while. yeah, a nice weekend. oh, yeah. thanks, spencer. >> all right. how much longer until delta airlines gets back to normal? following last week's crowdstrike outage
6:25 pm
nasdaq had its biggest single day loss since 2022. the nasdaq dropped 655 points. the dow plummeted 504. the s&p 500 is down nearly 129 points. the so-called magnificent seven tech stocks lost more than $750 billion in market cap today apple, alphabet, amazon, meta, nvidia, microsoft and tesla make up that group. >> tough day on the market. still tough for delta airlines

end of the heat wave. >> we are so happy this spencer christian is back going to cool off a good bit. yeah. >> i've never, never been so happy to say the end is near the end of the heat wave that is looking at the satellite radar composite image. you see low pressure digging southward into our area. that's going to provide a cooling onshore flow, which is evident already with wind speeds at the surface up to 2520 six miles per hour. and that will be part of the pattern of the cooling trend over the next several days. and even right now, you can see it is several degrees cooler, even in those hot spots inland than at this time yesterday. so on we go with a look at current temperature reading 67 here in san francisco. oakland 7380s, low and upper 80s at hayward and san jose, 90 at redwood city, 64 at half moon bay. other temperature readings right now looking northward, 82 at santa rosa, upper 70s at petaluma and napa, 94 at fairfield, and right around 90 at concord. and livermore. and of course, we still have this heat advisory in effect until 11:00 tonight for the east bay hills, the east bay, interior valleys, santa clara valley, and the east santa
6:49 pm
clara hills. and as we go into the nighttime hours with mainly clear skies, but some low clouds beginning to develop near the coast overnight lows will be mainly in the upper 50s near the coast and low 60s just about everywhere else. highs tomorrow not quite so high as today, but still warm inland with a few mid to upper 90s, but around the bay shoreline we'll see upper 70s to low 80s and 60s on the coast. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. and although still warm inland tomorrow the cooling will continue. that starts tomorrow right on through the weekend. in fact, by saturday we'll see high temperatures below average, only up to about 80 degrees inland, about 70 around the bay. then there will be gradual warming going into early next week, but nothing extreme, nothing excessive, and certainly nothing out of the ordinary for this time of the year. very nice. >> nothing to complain about. >> i like that too. i like that, spencer. >> okay, anything to complain about on sports? >> larry no, everything's perfect. i really like your outfit with the paisley. the blue on blue. it's cold this morning. you look fantastic.
