a new study finds. cancer cases among men are rising. researchers have a sobering

prediction and a possible cause. a new tenant for the oakland coliseum, the bay area team that just committed to play at the recently sold stadium and more than two dozen people who shut down traffic on the golden gate bridge earlier this year during a protest, now face charges, some even felonies. good afternoon, i'm kristen z. thanks for joining us for abc7 news at three. let's begin with new developments on that golden gate bridge protest. demonstrators turned themselves in this morning as their supporters protested outside the san francisco county jail. district attorney brooke jenkins issued the arrest warrant saturday. 26 people involved in the disruptive action are charged. most of them face misdemeanors for the protests. back in april, eight face felony charges though they posted bail this morning. >> it's a humongous waste of resources for the jail, for the county, for everyone involved here, when everyone has been in contact with the da's office from the day of the arrest, we were always ready to go to court

to fight these charges. but the way that jenkins proceeded with this, we have to have folks go into jail, sit in jail for 10 to 12 hours, completely unnecessarily. but we're going to fight these charges. we're going to get this case dismissed. >> jenkins says her office heard from three dozen people who were trapped in traffic for hours during the protests, including a person with a brain tumor who missed a medical appointment and a mom with her baby who had no water for formula. since they were able to name specific victims, the da's office decided to charge the protesters with false imprisonment because this this conduct has continued and it's elevated. >> we wanted to make sure again that we took more seriously what was going on. >> the da says the protests likely cost the bridge $162,000 in lost revenue. developing news out of san francisco. police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in golden gate park yesterday, right by the outside lands music festival. the fire department

tells us. paramedics found a man's body locked inside a portable bathroom outside the festival grounds, just after one in the afternoon. it's not clear how he died or if he had been at outside lands. it's a story we have followed closely for decades. san francisco's never ending struggle with homelessness as the city and the state begin sweeping local encampments backed by recent court rulings, one area of the city has proved very challenging. dozens of people living in rvs by the san francisco zoo say they have nowhere else to go. city outreach crews plan to meet with them today. last week, authorities started warning people parked on zoo road that they must leave by this week or they could be towed by the city. no parking signs go into effect wednesday. an upcoming repaving project forced dozens of people from their longtime parking spots along winston drive between lake merced and stonestown galleria. but now they're being told to move again. >> has the city offered help

services somewhere to go? >> they have. they have like they've been offering a housing, but it's, it's like you gotta apply and then you gotta they gotta see because there's a lot of people applying. so. and it's not that many housing we've been applying for like two years and a half already for housing, and we haven't had nothing. >> families are hoping for good news when they meet with outreach crews today. abc seven news reporter luz pena will continue our coverage on this story coming up on abc seven news at four. and for all of our reporting around the homelessness crisis, head to our website, abc seven news.com or your abc7 news app. people on the front lines in the fentanyl crisis affecting california's young people addressed a state assembly committee today. the panel included parentsho have lost children from accidental overdoses like amy neville, her 14 year old son alexander, died in june of 2020. she says the narrative behind deaths like her son's needs to be changed from thinking of them as poisoning, not drug overdoses.

>> by referring to alex's death as a poisoning, it helps overcome stigma and opens doors to a conversation by, say, overdose. i met with parents who think they do not need to listen because they do not have a drug problem in their household. when i say poisoned parents want to know more and that's because we are conditioned from the time we are going to have these babies in our homes to prevent a poisoning and what to do in the event of a poisoning. >> fentanyl made up more than 80% of all drug related deaths among california's young people in 2022. >> to be able to shape a bright new future for professional sports in oakland in the and the east bay is a privilege and a responsibility we gladly accept. >> the oakland roots men's soccer team will plant their roots at the recently sold oakland coliseum. the roots and the oakland soul women's soccer team previously announced they would be playing some games at the coliseum while they work to build a temporary facility in the parking lot next door. they still have plans for a new

stadium, but while they wait for it to be built, the coliseum will be their home next year. >> this club was founded with a purpose to harness the magic of oakland and the power of sport as a force for social good. i can't think of a better expression of that purpose than ensuring that we keep sports jobs, investment and joy right here in east oakland. >> the coliseum and the land at the site are under new ownership of the african american sports and entertainment group. founder ray bobbitt says he's excited to work with the oakland roots and soul to popularize and support soccer in the east bay. up next, the race for the white house heats up. a political data expert joins us live to break down the latest poll, which shows vice president harris, now with a slight edge over former president trump in key swing states. researchers are predicting an alarming rise in cancer cases among men. the reasons for the increase and the keys to prevention and clear

skies and cooler temperatures to start the workweek, spencer christian will be here with a but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart?

will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you. a power outage is looming. that's just alert, he's always getting worked up about something. flex alerts notify us of preventable power outages. that way we always know when to help stop one. ok flex, just drop some knowledge on me again. oh, ok i will - i'll turn our thermostat to 78... i'll unplug the blender. the hair dryer. - my blankie? - yep! - let's talk about it! - nope. ooo, we can save the laundry til' the morning! oh, yes please! oh! little things like this help save our power and help save us from outages. with flex alerts, the power is ours.

$12 million for her presidential campaign. about 700 people stood in line at the fairmont hotel for her first bay area campaign stop since becoming the democratic nominee. her allies governor gavin newsom, house speaker nancy pelosi, attorney general rob bonta and san francisco mayor london breed were all there. her running mate, governor tim walz, did not attend yesterday's event. voters we spoke with are excited to see

harris as the top of the ticket. >> seeing kamala take these steps to get to this position that she's in, coming from the same undergraduate school that i came from, it's inspiring. it reminds me that these barriers are going to be kicked down. >> pro-palestine protesters rallied outside the hotel, demanding an end to all u.s. aid to israel. they have also appeared at her rallies last week. harris has pledged to work toward a cease fire and bringing hostages home. the harris campaign is starting this week with some new momentum. after a successful first week on the campaign trail, which took them through several swing states. abc's christiane cordero has the latest from washington. >> today, after a week of rallies in key states, momentum is swinging back towards the democratic ticket. a new york times siena poll shows vice president kamala harris has a four point edge on former president donald trump in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. within the margin of error. harris is expected to unveil her economic plans in the coming days. when i am

president, we will continue our fight for working families of america. >> including to raise the minimum wage. and taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. >> trump, responding she copied my no taxes on tips policy. >> we will pass massive tax cuts for workers and that includes no tax on tips, something he's promised for months. >> also on social media, trump is pushing false claims that harris used artificial intelligence to create images of fake crowds. that's not true. thousands of people have attended her rallies, including 15,000 here in phoenix, where running mate minnesota governor tim walz took a jab at the former president. >> it's not as if anybody cares about crowd sizes or anything. so trump's running mate, senator jd vance, is pushing immigration reform as a top campaign issue.

>> trump has vowed mass deportations. abc's jon karl pressed vance to elaborate. >> i think it's interesting that people focus on, well, how do you deport 18 million people? let's start with 1 million. that's where kamala harris has failed. and then we can go from there. >> both campaigns will be on the road later this week. trump in north carolina harris two. after a stop in maryland with president biden and the democratic national convention kicks off one week from today. christiane cordero abc news, washington. >> so the landscape has changed significantly, it would seem, in just the first week of the harris walz ticket. joining us live now to talk about the new york times, siena college swing states polling you just heard about and more. vice president of political data inc. paul mitchell. a lot of vice presidents around these days. hey paul, how are you doing? good, good, good. hey, so let's look at the poll again. it looks at just three states. the one that we saw in that package. but it is eye opening. harris seemingly with a four point edge. right. explain the scope

of the poll here. >> well, first off let's look at it. historically. this is a this is a poll the new york times siena poll that was really down on biden in the polling before he dropped out. he got to as much as eight points behind biden. so or behind trump. so biden wasn't faring well in this poll. so not only now do we see that harris is ahead by four points, but that's almost a 12 point switch from where biden was in this same poll, in these critical states, the these are the states that are really going to decide the election michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. and then on top of that, states like arizona, nevada, maybe georgia and north carolina. and it looks as though the harris campaign has made improvements over biden's numbers in all of those states. >> so does that mean some of those states maybe weren't previously even swing states? but are now in play? >> yeah. so there were a couple states like georgia and north carolina that the biden campaign had staff in, had campaign

offices, but most people expected them not to spend money on tv, not to really consider those to be winnable for the biden campaign. now, with harris as the nominee, a newfound enthusiasm for the campaign, a better performance among younger voters and minority voters. it's possible that georgia and north carolina come into play, which means both that kamala harris might be able to win those states and that even if she isn't able to win those states, she's able to require or force the trump campaign to spend money there in defense of states where they probably wouldn't have had to spend a lot of money in a biden versus trump election. wow. >> if there are more potential battlegrounds now, does this mean a lot more money will be spent on both sides? i mean, this is really going to raise the importance of money here in this race. >> well, there is probably going to be more money spent in this race, largely because the kamala harris campaign has been able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in an environment where the biden campaign really was faltering in its fundraising.

that money might have ended up being there. but in the end, i think we will see a lot of money being spent for the kamala harris campaign, as well as for the trump campaign, where we know money really doesn't seem like a big issue, especially when you have potential for big silicon valley donors. folks like elon musk talking about themselves, donating tens of millions of dollars a month. >> so is kamala harris currently, so far anyway, outperforming generic democrat. and some folks know what i'm talking about. remember a few months ago there were these polls like swing states and generic democrat beats trump, but biden loses to trump. and that kind of added to the drum call of the drumbeat of like, hey, should biden step down? should he step aside? is she beating that generic democrat? >> well, i'll tell you, there's a lot of excitement and a lot of people think that this, you kno, the campaign and the memes and the energy behind it is, is astounding. but it really is that she is performing like a generic democrat. what, that what that means is that she's essentially recapturing what should be a democratic baseline

for any presidential candidate on the democratic side, these are numbers that she's gaining back that were were basically, you know, percentage points that biden was losing because people are concerned about his age or because of his negative favorability. her favorability is still negative, but improving uh- and the favorability for her vice presidential candidate is positive, which basically makes him the only of the four candidates for president or vice president who has a strong favorable rating. >> all right, paul, this is where we have a little fun doing the what ifs, right? because i don't think i've seen such a poll. maybe you have, but could a generic non-trump republican also do better because there was a significant of the population saying, no, not that biden and trump thing. anybody but them? >> well, that's a really interesting question. and, i think the fact is that donald trump brings out a very energized base. he captures the attention of certain blue collar white voters in these midwestern swing states and in the sunbelt

states that might not actually turn out and vote for a generic republican candidate, but at the same time, a generic republican candidate, say, nikki haley, you know, or a ted cruz or a, you know, somebody like that might be able to capture a lot more of those traditional republicans, the type of republicans that you know, push george bush to election victory that really were the base of the republican party, you know, in those years prior to donald trump coming down the escalator and really transforming that party in his own vision after 2016. >> all right. i can't believe i spent time on that. but that question had been on my mind. paul. okay, so let me ask you, how long can this momentum keep up? >> well, what's interesting is it seems as though the republican campaign staffers that are, you know, on trump's campaign really were ceding this ground, going through, maybe the first couple of weeks of her candidacy, presuming that was going to be a honeymoon. they couldn't do anything about it.

the democratic convention is coming up next week. so you presume that she'll have center stage through that. so it is a big chunk of time, potentially even a month, where we're going to have this, you know, kamala harris honeymoon, where even the republican pollsters and campaign staff for president, former president trump, you know, are conceding this ground. the concern i would have if i was the trump campaign is that you're kind of giving up the stage, for roughly a month in what is a 105 day campaign in total. so a big chunk of this campaign being, you know, seen as an opportunity for her, i would say the momentum carries through at least until after the democratic convention, which is not this week, but next week. >> i mean, you're right, this is a big chunk of the total campaign for her, right? who would have thought that getting in so late may actually turn out to have some advantages? but all right, paul mitchell really interesting stuff. thank you. so much. >> thanks for having me. >> a major shakeup for the real

estate industry. the changes coming this week and what they mean for agents who help peo

and deaths among men. the new findings, published in the journal cancer, predicts deaths will rise 93% over the next 25 years, based on data collected from almost 200 countries. abc news reporter reena roy explains. >> a new study out in the journal cancer, predicting a rise in cancer cases and deaths among men by 2050, with new cases expected to go up from just over 10 million to 19 million worldwide and global deaths expected to rise 93%. >> some reasons that scientists look to number one biological reasons. also, men are more likely to engage in high risk behaviors. for example, smoking, alcohol. and there's also an occupational exposure. men are more likely to be factory workers and be exposed to

toxins. >> experts say they also may be less likely to access health care, and there are fewer screening options specific for men. the risk is highest for men living in developing countries and of older age. >> what we see is that an older man in the aging population, the risk is even higher. we're talking about higher than 100% increase. when you look at the year 2050. >> experts say early detection is key. that means getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer at age 45. and consider beginning prostate cancer screening at 50 years old. >> i use average patient age or average risk for a patient. if you have a higher risk, for example, if you have a family history or for black men, you should start having these discussions earlier is a sign of strength and intelligence. >> researchers say back in 2020, global cancer rates in men were already 43% higher than in women. the gap only expected to widen in the coming decades. reena roy, abc news, new york. >> realtors nationwide are bracing for new rules that take effect this week, changing the way they get paid. it's part of

a $418 million settlement announced in march by the national association of realtors. until now, home sellers typically had to pay a 5 or 6% commission going forward, buyers agents must discuss their compensation up front. the agreement is designed to inform buyers they are responsible for paying for their own realtors. if a seller chooses not to cover the cost, this change and others take effect saturday. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley is looking into these new rules, and we'll have more on how they're likely to impact the bay area housing market coming up at four. now we want to get a check on your weather. it's been a cool way to start the workweek. abc seven spencer christian is here now with a look at the accuweather forecast. i think just the way we like it. spencer, i agree christine, i like this cool start. >> i'm tired of the very, very warm weather. here's a look at what's going on on the satellite radar composite image. you see that big warm weather, high pressure system? well, to our east right now. and that means the doors open for brisk onshore breezes, cooling breezes,

bringing us the marine layer back, which is advancing and retreating and advancing and retreating and right now it's in retreat mode, but it's going to advance again during the late night and overnight hours. you can see how breezy it is around the bay area right now. we have wind speeds at the surface between 20 and 25mph in numerous locations, as that onshore cooling flow continues. it's also contributing to very good air quality over most of the bay area. there are a few yellow circles around indicating moderate air quality, but for the most part we have good air quality right now, and the 24 hour temperature change shows most locations at this hour are slightly warmer than they were yesterday. at this time, about three, four, five degrees warmer. so let's move along and take a closer look. rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero. it's 61 in san francisco, right now. oakland 69, hayward 7279. in san jose, 75. in redwood city, 63 at half moon bay. at the golden gate, notice the absence of a marine layer. but of course, again, during the overnight hours, it will be back 82 degrees right now up north at santa rosa, 72 at petaluma, napa 70. we have 82 at fairfield, 83 at livermore,

84 at concord. the inland east bay, of course, our warmest region right now, as it often is. and these are our forecast headlines. it will be partly cloudy for the remainder of this afternoon, but lots of sunshine out there, cool to mild, a remainder of the week, sunnier and a little bit milder. a little bit warmer i should say. and the weekend outlook calls for a slightly cooler pattern again. and then the temperatures rise again. so we're not going to we're not going to have a sustained pattern of warming just a couple of days here and there. forecast animation overnight shows mainly clear skies early, but we'll see a little patch of low clouds forming along the coastline or along part of it and pushing locally out across the bay overnight. low temperatures will be mainly in the mid 50s, a little cooler in the north bay where lows will drop down to about 48 degrees at santa rosa and 50 degrees at cloverdale. high temperatures tomorrow. 60 one half moon bay, san francisco 68 degrees oakland also 68. most locations. other locations near the bay shoreline will be in the low to mid 70s tomorrow, and inland locations will vary a bi. 78 the high at napa, 88. the high at santa rosa. the inland east bay. upper 80s to about 88

degrees max down in the south bay. san jose will top out at 80 degrees. morgan hill about 86. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. so wednesday will be a little bit warmer than tomorrow wednesday and thursday. in fact, with high temperatures inland getting up to about 90 degrees at the warmest, then a drop in temperatures, a slight drop on friday and saturday with just mid to upper 80s inland going into sunday. the same picture looks like next monday may bring minor warming back again, but again, as i mentioned earlier, no extreme changes in the pattern here throughout the week is going to be pretty steady. cooler than average, and very pleasant. >> kristen spencer, thanks and you can get the latest forecast, breaking news and more anytime with the abc7 bay area app. download it now and stream abc seven news 24 seven. w

a warm welcome as they arrived at manzanita community school on the city's east side this morning. this year, oakland unified is providing a performing arts program at every elementary school for the first time since the 1980s. >> art in schools. it's amazing. it's important for kids who may want to have careers in the arts, but in art plays a huge role in developing creativity, which we know is a huge skill for kids to be competitive in the job market. in the 21st century. >> the programs are being paid for through funds passed by voters, both locally and statewide. of course, the budget is tight in oakland. the district is facing a large shortfall of around $56 million. finally today, take a look at this a camera hidden in the lion's den at the oregon zoo in

portland didn't stay hidden for too long. video shows the pride finding the camera and just kind of taking it away with them. the zoo put the device in the lion habitat to give fans an insider's look at its renowned animal care program, but fans and staff got an inside look at a lion's mouth and some up close shots of the animals. we should just go out on this. look at them. look at that face. okay, that's too close for comfort, but certainly it was almost better that they took the camera away with them. all right. thank you so much for joining us for abc seven news at three world news tonight with david muir starts now. i'll see you back here at four. >> david: tonight breaking news, the images coming in. the earthquake rattling the los angeles area. also, late today the new tropical storm that's just formed in the atlantic.
