to enforce its regulations of homeless camps. >> here's abc seven news reporter cornell bernard with what's next. >> well, first, let me say that encampments are terrible for everyone. >> san rafael mayor kate colin is talking about efforts by her city to keep homeless encampments small and protecting those living inside. >> we recognize that folks on the street or on the street for lots of different reasons. there are a lot of reasons. their own personal safety net failed them. >> this week, a federal judge dismissed an injunction filed by homeless advocates last year blocking a city ordinance which aimed to curb violence, crime and littering by limiting the size and location of encampments. now, the city is free to resume enforcing that ordinance. >> so what that enables us to do is to start regulating time, place and manner of encampments. and our ordinance looks at how supporting people, where they are and not having these large congregations of people, the number of people out here continues to increase. >> homeless advocate robbie

poulsen claims the city has promised to allow smaller groups of campers to live along the mahoning creek footpath, with restrictions. >> the whole dissolution is based on the representations by the city that they're going to let people have a safe place to be, and so we're going to monitor that. >> downtown business owners say they are fed up with crime and violence surrounding the camps. miriam deleon says business at her restaurant on lincoln avenue has suffered. >> it's hard because our customers don't want to come anymore, especially at night. they sleep a day and then at night it's another story. >> last spring, east bay tire store blasted classical music towards an encampment in the name of safety, but homeless residents took the store to court. a judge ordered the tire store to stop the music. the city is now proposing a temporary sanction camp along the mahoning creek path, offering housing options for those who want it.

>> we're continuing to work with the county, work with our stakeholders in a compassionate, compassionate yet effective way to get people from encampments into permanent supportive housing, the mayor says. >> plans for the sanctioned camp and enforcement of the camping ordinance are still being worked out in san rafael. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> the city of san francisco is continuing its high profile effort to clear encampments from city streets. today, we spotted crews from several agencies removing a small encampment from the embarcadero across from the ferry building. >> we offer services, we offer shelter, we offer. we make several offers. we also have the journey home program, where we will offer, if they're from somewhere else, and they want to reconnect with their family and friends back home for wherever they're from. we'll help get them there as well. >> officials say despite governor newsom's edict last month for cities to clear encampments, today's action is no different from operations they've undertaken at least two times a day for the past several years. >> there's pushback over governor newsom's executive order directing local cities to

clear homeless encampments. a coalition of advocacy advocacy groups spoke out in the south bay today, calling the order inhumane. it comes just after the governor doubled down on his order. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has the story. >> in 2020, multiple organizations and advocates who support unhoused people in the south bay all together in one spot. >> we don't agree on everything, but we agree on this one thing which tells you how wrong this one thing is. >> they're speaking out against governor gavin newsom's executive order issued last month. he ordered state agencies to start clearing encampments on state land. he can't legally force local governments to do the same, but he is putting pressure on them to do so or lose out on state funding next year, something he reiterated thursday in southern california. >> i want to see results. i don't want to read about them. i don't want to see the data. >> but advocates and organizations say clearing encampments can't be done if people aren't being directed to housing and services, something they say ultimately leads to

criminalization. how can we have a governor that says we're going to reduce the prison population? >> but at the same time, we're going to criminalize someone being unhoused? >> abc seven reached out to the governor for a response to the advocate's claims and did not hear back on thursday, though he said that the order is not about criminalization. what's criminal is neglecting people that are struggling and suffering and dying on our watch. >> that's criminal. what's criminal is people don't have restrooms. what's criminals. people literally are putting their lives at risk. every single night. people are found dead, stabbed to death. >> still, the groups and advocates say that newsom's actions are political theater and not addressing root causes of homelessness. >> we're supporting the regional housing bond, which will build thousands, tens of thousands of affordable housing units, which is the real solution to homelessness. >> starting next month, the coalition said they plan to start working with lawyers to fight the governor's order legally. in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> homelessness affects every bay area county, as you know, and to see what's happening

where you live, check out our website, abc seven news.com. we have one page where all of our homeless stories are tagged and gathered in one place. so it's easy for you to find. >> we are learning more about what may have caused a plane to just fall out of the sky in brazil, killing all 61 people on board. the vail pass airlines plane crashed in a residential area about 50 miles from sao paulo. witnesses captured video of that plane as it went into a freefall, dropping 17,000ft in less than a minute. there's no official cause of the crash, but several aviation experts say it appears to be an icing problem. >> there was reported severe icing in the area uh- the aircraft uh- wing obviously was in a full stall condition. the flat spin occurred and the pilots had probably very little, if any, chance of recovering the aircraft. >> aviation experts say the atr 72 plane that crashed has had problems with icing in the past. the same model has been involved

in 12 other crashes. >> back here at home, a former rising star of the san francisco political world now charged with rape, will stay in jail for now. john jacobo was back in court today for the second time this week. a judge will revisit his bail at a hearing next week. the former nonprofit director resigned from his job in april over sexual assault allegations he's accused of sexually assaulting a housing rights activist. three more women filed police reports against jacobo. his attorney claims the charges are politically motivated. >> a previous district attorney's office looked at this case and decided not to file. so there really is a lot of problems in terms of the lack of credibility of the alleged victims that have come forward. mr. jacobo is innocent and he asserts his innocence. >> in an email statement, the attorney for the victim wrote in part, quote, when survivors make the brave choice to come forward, it's essential that we believe them and that we empower them to understand and enforce

their rights as victims of crime. otherwise, survivors will not feel safe to come forward. end quote. an emotional farewell today for luciano ortega. the san francisco police officer who died unexpectedly just weeks ago an honor guard escorted the casket of officer ortega into the cathedral of saint mary's of the assumption, as officers from throughout the bay area stood at attention inside. ortega's widow, cynthia, paid tribute to the san francisco native, known for his vibrant and joyful personality, about with this life, just the way he taught me to put our love and family before everything else and most importantly, i vow to continue our love forever until we get to be together again. >> he will always be my favorite person. >> officer ortega was a nine year veteran of the department,

most recently working out of the mission station. he was just 29 years old. >> local scientists say they've found a key link between covid 19 and a mysterious severe illness. that was sending children to icus across the country. the illness that was causing high fevers and severe inflammation, especially of the heart and lungs, came to be known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or mis-c. as cases intensified, ucsf pediatric doctor aaron bodansky reached out to top infectious diseases experts and scientists, including doctor joe derisi. together, they collaborated with the cdc and hospitals across the country to collect nearly 200 blood samples to the moment was realizing that that unusual reaction to covid matched something in our own immune system. >> so it acquired a target against covid that matched us. so it was attacking both at the same time. >> doctor derisi says having proof of virus can provoke an auto immune reaction later on

will help in two ways one, for the potential development of therapeutics, the other for diagnostics to recognize and treat similar illnesses in the future. infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin-hong spoke on our 3 p.m. show about what to expect with the summer surge of covid infections. >> yeah, so the advice is particularly those who are older than 65 and those who are immune compromised to get a vaccine. now, i know it's in short supply in some areas in the bay area, but some places still have, some of it. so don't be dissuaded. go to my turn. california gov to find out or individual drugstore websites, the second thing, of course, is even if you didn't get a vaccine and you're vulnerable, don't forget about early antivirals. and the third is, you know, i always wear my mask or carry it around in, in case somebody coughing on me next to the plane. so you want to reduce the risk as much as possible, and then think about ventilation, just like the old days. >> a new report estimates

estimates that about 400 million people, or 6% of adults around the world, are living with long covid, according to the journal nature, 7 to 10% of long covid patients fully recovered after two years, but some have conditions that could last a lifetime, researchers added. too little is known about treating long covid, and there's almost no clinical evidence to guide treatment. >> still to come here on abc seven news at six, phil matier gets the inside scoop from willie brown on the story donald trump told about a helicopter ride and kamala harris. >> and i'm live outside golden gate park, where outside lands is kicking off. we'll have more details coming up. >> and i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. i'll let you know if the weather will be just as nice for outside lands this weekend. plus a look at the full accuweather seven day forecast coming up. >> and a reminder that tonight is an abc prime time special. maui rising the fight for hawaii's future. the special examines how last year's maui wildfires tragedy ignited a grassroots movement for change.

cam we certainly have the fog layer, but there's also some haze. it's very obvious. and that is because all those wildfires burning in the western us and in canada, we are seeing some of that smoke drifting into our region. so the air quality advisory that is up now has been extended through saturday, which is tomorrow. good to moderate air quality expected. and then sunday gets better. we have good air quality coming our way as that wind picks up. right now, air quality from purple air is moderate for most areas, but there are some pockets of poor and very poor in some areas right now. air now, which is the official reporting station uh- agency is reporting good to moderate air quality from time to time. you're still going to see some haze. as you look at the smoke forecast. you will see this at 7:00 tonight. this will get a little bit worse tomorrow morning. and then we'll get hazy again for the afternoon and evening hours. here's a look at live doppler seven. and things are pretty quiet here. but notice the fog that we had this morning slowly started to peel

away, and there are only a few patches lingering near the coastline. we will see a return of it expanding later on tonight. there's a fog on live doppler seven. we do have a good breeze 39 miles an hour right now in san francisco. it's an onshore breeze that's going to move this cool view. sutro tower camera move this fog along 59 in the city. it's in the mid 60s. hayward right now and oakland 76 in san jose and 80 in redwood city from our oakland airport. cameras seeing plenty of sun right now in the 70s. napa, santa rosa, you're in the 80s and concord in fairfield and livermore. today's high temperatures, low 60s to low 90s. so we did get a little bump up in those numbers overnight to areas of fog and drizzle. you can certainly see the blue sky from our roof camera tomorrow. hazy sunshine, mild to warm weather and sunday through early next week. breezy and below average temperatures are expected, so 7:00 tonight you still have 80s inland. if you have friday night plans. looking nice. fog near the coast numbers in the 50s later on tonight. notice of fog moving out across parts of the bay and tomorrow

morning starting off with some patchy drizzle but later in the afternoon you will notice nice looking weather again. 90s inland. we'll see 60s primarily near the coast. so first thing in the morning watch out for the fog and some spotty drizzle. low 50s to mid 60s tomorrow afternoon in the south bay you are looking at mid 80s from santa clara to san jose, 90 degrees in los gatos, 94 in morgan hill on the peninsula, 82 in redwood city, 63 pacifica, downtown san francisco 68 degrees, bringing you up into the 80s around san rafael, napa 94, in santa rosa, heading into the east bay 75, oakland 77, hayward. inland areas. this is where it's going to be very warm. nice looking weather. 92 walnut creek, 94 in concord and 93 in livermore. accuweather. seven day forecast. tomorrow is the day where you see the 90s. and then after that, three days of 80s for our warmest inland valleys below average. but a good thing from a fire weather

from earlier in the week, fueled by recession fears and turmoil in international markets? the dow was up 51 points today. the nasdaq added 85. the s&p gained about 25. nearly half a million dollars will be invested into the oakland zoo, as well as children's fairyland, which is at lake merritt. the money comes from the institute of museum and library services. about a quarter million is going to the oakland zoo, and roughly 210,000 will go to fairyland. grants are meant to encourage educational and community engagement programs at fairyland. it will help fund a puppet show. >> well, two nba greats with ties to oakland are taking a shot that could change the future of a lot of people. all star jaylen brown and hall of famer jason kidd are teaming up to launch a new initiative. it's called the oakland exchange. as abc seven news reporter anton anser hassan found out, it aims to help build wealth in underserved communities by making major investments in black businesses. >> nba greats jaylen brown and jason kidd are coming to play in

oakland, but not on the basketball courts. they're known for. >> today was a great day to commence. you know, being able to be the identify the next location and be able to have collective people of influence show up here. >> brown, who just won the nba championships with the boston celtics, recently launched the boston exchange. it aims to address the wealth imbalance by creating a black wall street in boston. he's teaming up with kidd to do the same in oakland. >> he did win the championship on the floor, but we can also create championships off the floor and i'm here to support that. >> kidd grew up in oakland, played at cal, went on to become an nba all star. he says oakland already has the talent and the mentors to make this a success, but that black businesses have long been underfunded. he believes this injection of capital is the missing piece. how much money is being invested in this? >> a lot. >> they anticipate an initial investment of millions of dollars that will fund a series of projects aimed at creating generational wealth, business

incubators, programs to launch local artists and musicians, and the purchase of property in places like downtown oakland, where they can fund is the acquisition of real estate assets, which brings the cost of space down significantly by owning those assets, and also allows us to invest in those spaces, knowing that they will be in the community in perpetuity. oakland city council member carol fife says this type of project is critical right now when the city doesn't have the resources and when businesses are leaving. >> this injection, this support, this investment is a game changer for not just the entire city, but the economic hub of the city, which is district three. >> brown says. this won't happen overnight. it will take time to attract investors and identify investments. but he says the work is underway. >> it's not about starting anything new. i think it's a lot of great things that have been already going on. oakland is rich history, tradition, entrepreneurship, so it's not like i got to come here and start something that ain't been done already in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> coming up next, a campaign

stop that didn't go quite as planned for donald trump today. why he did not arrive on his usual plane. >> plus, i got to ask you, were you ever in a helicopter with donald trump that nearly crashed? >> no, i've never been in a helicopter with donald trump. >> abc seven news insider phil matier joins us live to talk about willie brown, jerry

sources tell abc news the incident was not an emergency. the plane landed in billings, montana. mr. trump continued to his destination, bozeman, montana, on a smaller private jet. all right. we are counting down the days to the election. you can see it on your screen. 87 days remain and we are just over one month away to the first debate between donald trump and kamala harris. >> abc news reporter rachel bade has a look at the race. >> i think it's very important to have debates. >> both candidates set to face off on abc news on september 10th. trump even taking it a step further, challenging harris to commit to not just one but three debates. >> i am happy to have that

conversation about an additional debate for after september 10th, for sure. >> the news coming as harris has drawn massive crowds during a blitz through key swing states, she's seen fundraising spike and erased the lead trump had over joe biden all year. trump's advisers panning democrats momentum as a temporary honeymoon. but behind the scenes, some republicans privately chafing about trump's inability to stay on message. they're urging trump to hit harris on policy like immigration and the economy. instead, trump, using a one hour, meandering news conference yesterday to spout falsehoods, make personal jabs. >> she destroyed san francisco. she destroyed california as the ag. but as the da, she destroyed she destroyed no cash bail. weak on crime, she terrible in bristle over harris momentum. they talk about. oh the enthusiasm. let me tell you. we have the enthusiasm. the republican party and me as a candidate. >> asked about his attacks, harris didn't take the bait.

>> you're busy talking to voters. i didn't hear him. >> president joe biden will join harris for a public event in maryland next week, while trump's new running mate, j.d. vance, will be hitting the sunday show circuit, he's going to be training his fire on democrats. rachel bade abc news, washington. >> another moment that made headlines from trump's news conference when he talked about being in a helicopter with willie brown. listen well, i know willie brown very well in fact, i went down in a helicopter with him. >> we thought maybe this is the end. we were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing. this was not a pleasant landing. and willie was he was a little concerned. so i know him. i know him pretty well. i mean, i haven't seen him in years, but he told me terrible things about her. but this is what you're telling me anyway, i guess. but he had a big part in what happened with kamala. but he. i don't know, maybe he's changed his tune, but he, he was not a fan of hers very much at that point.

>> so the story reportedly involved jerry brown, california's former governor, not willie brown, san francisco's former mayor, jerry brown tweeted in response, quote, wow, wow indeed. >> abc seven news insider phil matier spoke with willie brown today to ask him about it. what's his take? >> well, it was interesting, you know, that he is at the center of the storm, and it was clear that donald trump was using him as the hammer to hit kamala harris, the helicopter i'm not so sure about. but we asked mayor brown, have you been in the helicopter with him? let's take a look. i got to ask you, were you ever in a helicopter with donald trump that nearly crashed? >> no, i've never been in a helicopter with donald trump. >> what was your reaction when you heard donald trump say that you and he were in a helicopter that went down? >> i start laughing, i said, that's desperation to get on the front page of something and not because of him. okay. me okay. ha ha ha. >> have you ever talked to

donald trump about kamala harris? >> i've never spoken to donald trump about any woman, let alone comer harris. >> and what do you think this says about donald trump's state of mind? >> it says that he has lost it completely. >> you've met the guy. you've talked to him, you've advised him on business matters. do you think this was a simple case of confusing you with somebody else that dresses like you and looks like you? >> no, i think it was donald trump trying to get headlines, period. i don't think because it wasn't apparently interesting response to a question anybody ask him. he made this up. >> now let's take a second look at the idea that it possibly was governor jerry brown and that trump confused the two. right. first of all, they don't look anything alike. i mean, that's a pretty big jump. the second thing is, if the governor of california and donald trump were in a helicopter that almost

crashed, do you think that would have made a news story? right? okay. possibly quite possibly even before he was the president, when he was running the apprentice and jerry was possibly ag that would have made news. so it was an interesting news, even to the people that are involved in it. in this case. yeah, that's interesting. >> something i thought was just we saw so much of former president trump talking about biden's mental facilities, and now we're seeing maybe he's remembering things not well either. >> well, he's had a habit of not remembering things well or inaccurately, but usually it's something like statistics he exaggerates or his numbers or something like that. this is where we're getting into events and people who are still around to say it didn't happen. but, you know, this is getting to be a tight race. this wasn't the race that donald trump initially envisioned. he thought he was going after a diminishing uh- joe biden. so let's take a look at think about it. first of all, we saw the polls. they're running neck and neck. kamala

harris and donald trump in key areas, fundraising in the bay area this this weekend. kamala harris is coming in. she's raised twice as much money as him in the past month. but i'll tell you what. the numbers that really have donald trump worried and people paying attention now is the number of people showing up at the rallies for kamala harris. huge crowds, huge crowds. she is packing a basically a basketball arenas with, you know, that holds 17, 18,000 people. we haven't seen crowds like this since barack obama was president. it takes real effort and real enthusiasm to get people out for that. >> and that's a touchy subject for donald trump. remember, of course, the inauguration and his concern about how many and he's always been able to claim he packs the room, whereas the democrats have more people standing behind him than they do in front. >> but this is a change on that. so it's getting tough. it's getting tight. >> all right. let's talk about fundraising harris raising money here in the bay area. and how's it going. she's raising a lot of money around the country. >> well she's raising a lot of

money because she's charging a lot of money. she has an event at the fairmont. starts out at 3300. i'm sure you reach good for a ticket on that. yes. and you can go as high as 500,000, which i think is they might be discounting those because those aren't moving as much as they thought. so enthusiasm does have its limits, but i will. i can't predict this when vice president harris leaves san francisco, her wallet is going to be a lot heavier, and a lot of people around here, while it's going to be a lot lighter, and that's going to be the way it goes from between now and november, because believe me, they'll be back. >> she'll leave here with millions more. that's right. all right. thanks very much. >> coming up next, a creative combination of sports that's celebrating its first ever

today in alameda county. judge sentenced ishmael burch to seven years in state prison as part of a plea bargain. burch pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and robbery. this is a photo from last year. it was february

2023, when burch was driving a getaway car and an accomplice grabbed angel's purse. she tried to get it back and was dragged about 50ft. sadly, she died days later. the sentencing comes despite the wishes of angel's family and friends, who sought restorative justice. they issued a statement today saying, quote, we know that jenn would not want someone involved in her death, whether complicit or not, to waste away in prison for decade. and we take some comfort in knowing ishmael has a chance to repair some of the harm he has caused. >> all right. we are going to get one last check on our weather because it is a very busy weekend around the bay area. >> and meteorologist sandyha patel is here. sandy. yeah. >> dan and i want to show you a live picture right now from our san jose camera where the sun is shining, a little bit of haze in the air. if you are going to the san jose summer jazz fest is really going to be nice looking weather. it starts off mild tomorrow morning in the 70s, coming up into the 80s for the afternoon hours, and it's still

going to be nice in the evening. going into the late night hours in the upper 60s. live doppler seven showing you some patchy fog along the coast. it expands during the overnight hours tomorrow afternoon. we have that fog around in patches along the coast a lot like today. 60s at the coast 90s inland and on sunday it turns breezier and cooler. we'll see mainly 80s in our inland east bay valleys, especially if you want a break from this warmth turning your attention very quickly to post-tropical cyclone uh. we're noticing the showers continuing with debby. not much left to it, but the flooding risk continues back east, the accuweather seven day forecast. mild to warm weather tomorrow and then breezy and cooler for your sunday with below average through the early part of next week before we turn things around to ama and dan. >> very good. thanks so much, sandy. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here. what you got for us tonight? >> we have some really, really cool video for you. okay, a little bit of a flashback. warriors star steph curry. he called his shot after the 2022

nba finals. curry told his teammates he had one thing left on his basketball bucket list, and he's one win away

gotta go play for coach curry. 20 quarter. yes. i got something y'all got? yes it's going to be

great. i ain't good yet. i gotta go get that olympic medal. g hill steph just committed to the olympics in 24. you heard it here first. g hill. save me a spot. >> okay. draymond talking to grant hill who's the executive director of team usa basketball. the warriors posted that video today from 2022 showing the plane ride after the dubs beat boston for the nba title. and steph said he had one more item that he needed on his hoops resume. olympic gold. now, curry did not put up big numbers in the olympics until team usa needed him most yesterday, coming back from a 17 point deficit against serbia. curry nine threes, 36 points. team usa advances to the gold medal game tomorrow against france, which should be really interesting with the crowd going crazy for the french team for team usa. the focus in these games has been on veterans like steph and lebron james. look at the intensity right there. they want it. and kevin durant as well. three hall of famers who are probably all playing in their final olympic games. listening to k.d. sounds like he doesn't

want this feeling to ever end. >> time is winding down. we got one more game and it's kind of bittersweet, you know, because we are planning the gold medal game and opportunity to get another gold, but we're not going to be together for you know, you know, once we finish here and it was just it was just a joy being in the locker room with these guys on the bus just talking life with these guys and then hooping on the floor with them. like just the best team i've ever been a part of. and i want us to finish it off with a goal. >> one more win. as for the team usa women's hoops squad, they've also advanced to the gold medal game 8564. semifinal victory over australia. breanna stewart led the way with 16. the us women like so dominant, they have won 60 straight games in the olympics 60, and they'll play for an eighth consecutive gold against france on sunday. all right. now to our nightly segment. where will brandon aiyuk play football this coming season? we're kind of at the point where i'm just going to throw this out there. kyle shanahan and aiyuk just play

rock, paper, scissors and whoever gets the money, whoever wins, it gets the money that he wants. dan dan's down for that, right? at least some finality, right? new developments in the holden situation. a couple of reports indicating iuk recently had a face to face meeting with shanahan to help clear the air and get on the same page with his coach at the 40 niners have also reengaged with the receiver on a long term contract extension. it feels like the sweet spot is like right around 27 million per year. maybe the niners want to go that high. matt maiocco reports the browns and 40 niners actually had a trade in place. aiyuk for amari cooper, a second and a fifth round pick. and it was aiyuk that turned it down, not the niners. you want to go to cleveland uh. and also brandon took to twitter himself today posting niners being the media every day lol. it's two options out there. pick one and stop dropping reports. simple hey brandon, how about you pick one uh- giants back home tonight hosting detroit camilo duvall is not going to be there. the giants closer has been sent out

to the minors. he's going to triple-a. duvall was an all star last season, led the national league with 39 saves, but he struggled a lot lately, especially with control. an era over eight in his last eight outings. so we'll see if the giants go with jordan hicks as their closer. du jour sports on abc seven, sponsored by smart and final. did you guys look at and watch any of the olympic breakdancing competition you were today? this is pair of first time and hopefully last time that we ever have breakdancing. some of it was it was different. i'll just say this if you can imagine me after like five rum and cokes, that's that's what the breakdancing looked like. >> i do have a picture of, you know, you actually seen it. yeah. thanks, larry. >> all right, all right. tonight on abc seven at eight, it's a maui rising. the fight for hawaii's future followed at nine by 2020. then, of course. stay with us for abc seven news at 11.

>> finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. 50 years ago, something happened in america on this day that never happened before, and it hasn't since. richard nixon resigned the presidency in disgrace over the watergate scandal. those of us old enough can remember the surreal scene as he stepped aboard marine one to leave the white house for the final time, turning back to the news cameras with an incongruous smile, the 37th president waved an equally out of place peace sign with both hands. president nixon had many significant accomplishments, easing tensions with china and russia, pulling the last american troops out of vietnam, presiding over the creation of the epa and passage of the clean air act. among others. but what history remembers is watergate and the flawed character of a man whose misdeeds echo in eternity. in the words of benjamin franklin, it takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, but only one bad one to lose it. in an age where character seems to

matter a bit less than it used to, what really matters is that we demand more of ourselves and of our leaders. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. thank you so much for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel larry beil. >> all of us here have a great evening and we'll see you again tonight at 11. >> this is abc 724 over seven. >> in san francisco, live at levi's stadium in san jose. >> live in oakland. >> yeah. you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. >> we are, we are we are we are, we are, we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the
