on this wire fastened between them. the self-taught high wire artist had been planning this mesmerizing slash terrifying idea for six years and then performed for 45 minutes before being arrested. however charges were ultimately dropped. >> i will do more than crossing. i will do a show. >> after he agreed to perform in central park. for me, this is life. since then, you may have seen petit's story captured by joseph gordon-levitt in the walk. >> see every day as a true challenge, and then you live your life on the tightrope or in the oscar winning documentary man on wire. the shortest speech in oscar history. yes and couldn't resist during his acceptance speech, petite even balanced his golden statue on his chin, much less life threatening. >> but hey, he's not done yet. this week, in celebration of this anniversary, the now 74 year old will be performing at a

church here in new york. >> as long as i could move on the ground, i will move on the wire. >> petite will be crossing a wire, just a casual 20ft above the ground, and will be reliving many moments from that day. there will even be a performance from his friend sting. clearly petite still has more minds to blow. i love when people come and tell me that i have inspired them, and their life has changed by looking at a man dancing in the sky, philippe says. he still trains on a wire six days a week, three hours a day, and he turned 75 next week in new york for abc news. i'm danny, new. >> wow, everyone else is slacking, apparently. >> all right, let's update the weather forecast. >> yes, sandhya has a closer look at debbie. sandhya? yeah. >> debbie just will not give up. dan and ama, let's take a look at live doppler seven. it is crawling along the carolina coast. still dumping quite a bit of rain. as a matter of fact, somerville reported south carolina's 17in so far. lake city, florida got 19in of rain.

of course, there are tornado watch boxes up as the threat of tornadoes remain and it is crawling. as i mentioned, northerly at three miles an hour. it has strengthened since yesterday packing winds of 60 miles an hour. so tomorrow morning a second landfall is expected at thursday morning across south carolina. and then it will continue to weaken as it rapidly moves up the eastern seaboard across into new england. it is going to remain a major flood threat as a front comes in and interacts with tropical storm debby. so additional rainfall totals could be anywhere from three to about 12in of rain. and here locally you see the fog, you see the high clouds coming through as tropical moisture is streaming in. we'll have a combination of both tomorrow afternoon. partly cloudy coast side, certainly cooler, but lots of sun inland. low 90s inland. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. we'll see temperatures in the hot spots up into the mid 90s. and then we'll notice that by the weekend, numbers are coming down. that's going to be more in the comfort zone for those who

don't like the heat. so definitely nicer weather going. nice change week. yeah. >> ama and dan. thanks, sandy. >> all right. let's get to larry beil. he was smiling. excuse me. i give up. i'm not even going to try to resay. never mind. he was throwing heat the other day. yeah, i just i knew it was not going to come out well, so i stopped. >> you got it. >> you want to try the rest of the sports? kathy, you're doing so well. all you all you. i'm out. leg stump was throwing heat all right. in fact, he threw a no hitter for the giants. i'm sorry. i know you're gonna lob a cream puff up there. i'm gonna smash that thing. so what would blake snell do for an encore tonight in dc? ama? you don't know

attending 40 niners wide receivers meetings. this is like a three way game of tug of war. the 40 niners, obviously they're pulling their way. they don't have to do anything because aiyuk is under contract for the upcoming season. they could really play hardball with him and just say, hey, we're not trading you. you don't want to play, you don't get paid. it seems like the steelers have been uk's desired destination all along, so they're pulling their way, but it's hard to see what assets that they could send back that would satisfy the 40 niners. the steelers are apparently willing to pay 30

plus million a year to brandon aiyuk. so now we're back to waiting to see who blinks first here. >> i mean, you want you want resolution for sure for him and the team. but at the end of the day, there's nothing uh, you know, nervous energy. there's none of that going on. you know, it's business as usual. we understand the situation and we'll let them kind of handle that from there. you know, it's kind of weird for sure, >> i remember last year when we played the giants, i had went to him. i was like, bro, i never knew how weird it was for you not to be on the field at the same time. and, you know, the time that i was out and he was out there by himself and it was just like, i kind of see what you feel like, kind of feel awkward with, you know, being with somebody out there for four years straight or whatever. uh- he and meetings, we still chop it up and not even about the things that's going on. but just like brother talk, you know, regardless of whatever happens, you know, it's still my guy. i love him to death. you know what? he here, he there. whatever. >> all right, here we go. today is august seventh, eight seven, which was dwight clark's number. >> and today the 40 niners honored the wide receiver best

known for the catch, who sadly lost his battle with als six years ago. the 40 niners invited als patients for a meet and greet, and many former 40 niners and teammates of dwight's were there to celebrate today in santa clara. well, you talk about getting out of dodge just before the posse arrives. jim harbaugh, new la chargers head coach, won the national championship at michigan last year. the ncaa today announced a four year show cause order for impermissible contact with recruits and players during the covid 19 pandemic. so harbaugh is banned from college athletics until 2028, which is meaningless because he's going to be coaching the chargers. so he's fine. giants and nationals. honest abe lincoln, who's your favorite president? come on, come on, come on. i'm your favorite catcher tonight alex cole meets the wall. wow. and holds on giants down a run in the fourth. here it comes. there it goes. mike yastrzemski upper tank. his ninth of the season. yaz also added a triple and we are tied at three a piece very next inning elliott ramos slow mo matt chapman slow mo. they both homer their 17th and 19th

respectively. a blake snell not as good as his no hitter in his last start. some would say he was thrown smoke. okay. okay. all right. well silence. now i get silence. anyway, he went six innings, allowed three runs, fanned eight. giants win. they're back at 507 for final. white sox and a's wrapping up their series with a matinee. a's and their throwback unis. snipers having a good time. pick it up in the seventh inning because that's where all the action is. armando alvarez singles to left brant rooker scores. a's down two one. next batter is zack gelof. well, he copies alvarez with his own single to left, abraham toro racing home. and now we're tied at two a piece. two batters later, the butler did it. lawrence butler. we don't normally show sacrifice flies, but this one the game alvarez scores. there's your game winning run. and the a's are victorious three two. sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. so with the brandon aiyuk situation now, we are getting very close to the point where it's i'm going to hold my

breath unless i get what i want. really. i mean, like, we're at that stage like somebody needs to decide it's you know, the niners, they don't want to trade him. he wants to get paid. he would like to stay here. >> what is he getting paid to stay here? >> well, right now he's under contract this coming season for $14 million. but he could go to pittsburgh for 30 for 30. right. but he could get maybe 26.5 here. right. right. so it all seems good to me. >> yeah. >> right. i guess any of it. can you catch. can you. i'm willing to try to be an opportunistic kind of money. i'll get out there. all right? all right. >> tonight on abc seven at eight, who wants to be a millionaire? followed by claim to fame at ten. watch shark tank, then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember, we're streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. all right, that's it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. larry beil throwing smoke, bringing the heat. >> i'm so much better at the words on the screen.
