democratic national convention as the camera looks for people. and we have we have found them in chicago as night two of the dnc gets underway. good afternoon. and thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil and i'm stephanie sierra. >> the official roll call will get underway in just about an hour. >> yeah, and tonight, california's in the spotlight. >> last night was about president biden. tonight, it's all about kamala harris and the future of the democratic party. >> abc seven news anchor julian glover joins us live now from chicago with the very latest. hi, julian. >> hey there. good afternoon, larry and stephanie. we are live inside of an already rocking united center. a number of musical acts have been taking the stage programing for night two of the dnc, starting a bit earlier than yesterday when we saw president joe biden speaking. well past midnight eastern time. the theme for tonight's dnc night is all about a bold vision for america's future, and the headliners don't

get bigger in the democratic party. former first lady and former president michelle and barack obama. tonight, the obamas, who have a long running relationship with vice president kamala harris, are expected to make a forceful case for why their friend and political ally should be the next president of the united states. last month, the obamas gave their support to the vice president in a call as harris quickly unified her party and secured the delegates to become the presumptive democratic nominee. >> we called to say, michelle, and i couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the oval office. >> oh my goodness. >> michelle. barack, this means so much to me. >> ahead of the obamas big speech, california delegates and superdelegates will cap off a ceremonial roll call, delivering the necessary number of delegates to put vp harris over the top. the threshold needed to become the party's nominee. >> i've been volunteering with the democratic party for 15 years, and what a convention. >> harris mojadidi is a first

time delegate from the east bay. he's excited for tonight's big roll call. >> this is a key moment for our nation to nominate the first woman of color, an african american woman, a south asian woman. i know for me personally, as the son of a south asian woman, i might get a little teary eyed. >> arizona senator mark kelly, who was on the short list of potential vice presidential candidates, tells us he's equally as excited. >> i've never seen anything like this at a political rally before, and i've been a lot to a lot of these. >> i think california is feeling very proud. san francisco is feeling very proud. i'm excited to see us represented on the main stage at the dnc. >> honey mahogany is a san francisco delegate and former chair of the san francisco democratic party. she says the message of this convention is deeply resonating with her. we won't go back. what does that mean to you when you hear it? >> when we say we won't go back, what we mean is that we will not give up the rights that we have fought so hard to win.

>> we're back here live from a rocking united center. people are having a good time as the musical acts roll on. in just a matter of moments. we are expecting another exciting moment. the ceremonial roll call will begin as governor gavin newsom delivers the delegates to put v.p. harris over the top in what will surely be an emotional moment for california and the bay area's native daughter. for now, reporting live from the united center inside of dnc night two, i'm julian glover, abc7 news. >> julian, you can really feel the excitement from your live shot there. >> looks like i'm not sure he can hear a word we're saying. to be honest, it was so loud in there, but let's give it a shot. >> yeah, there's certainly a lot of excitement for the obamas to take the stage tonight. julian, what are you hearing on the floor? >> yeah, as i thought. julian can't really hear because it's just so loud in there. but you can catch more of his coverage when he can hear us live from

chicago through thursday, right here on abc seven news night. >> two of the democratic national convention is bringing out some big names. we'll hear from the california delegation representative by governor gavin newsom. senators bernie sanders and chuck schumer will address the crowd. and to close out the night, second gentleman doug emhoff, then michelle obama, followed by barack obama. >> all right. joining us now is abc seven news insider phil matier. i know you can hear us, but let's talk about this. we focus so much on the top of the ticket. but tonight is really all about the state of california from candidate on down, including speaker nancy pelosi. you know, california has some pluses, but also some minuses that can be identified. >> it is, it is. but the fact of the matter is that this convention and this nomination, this candidate, the whole ticket is really driven by california. some of it deliberate, some of it just by happenstance. but what we have here is a situation on a roller coaster that we've

never seen before. we have a candidate from california, from san francisco, kamala harris. we have a speaker emeritus, nancy pelosi, who engineered or helped engineer the transfer from joe biden's exit to kamala harris. and we have gavin newsom, a rising star who's going to take the california delegation and put it over the top with kamala harris, somebody who he has been in a sibling competition with, sort of for more than 20 years. and so there's a lot of drama going on in the floor and behind the stage. >> let's talk about that relationship. we know newsom and harris go way back. can you tell us about their dynamic now? >> it's a real simple one. they both came out of san francisco. they had a lot of the support from pacific heights. the gettys were central to their rise. both of their rises. willie brown was central to their rise up the democratic machine. and nancy pelosi were also part and parcel of that. and what we had is they were always looked at as potential contenders to run for big office. and the question

was, were they ever going to wind up running against each other? and it almost came. could have come to be with the transfer out of joe biden if he hadn't selected kamala harris, it would have been for a wide open convention. but they always they had the same campaign managers they had. they had the same fundraisers, and they always made a point of not crossing. they've always just run parallel courses. and tonight it's going to be gavin newsom. it's got to be a little bittersweet because just a week or two ago, he was the rising star in the democratic party. he's going to be on the floor nominating her. >> so what role will the bay area play going forward? because we know the state is going to go democratic, most likely because of just the way the state is constituted. but in terms of, you know, just fundraising. >> well, of course, we're we're still the atm of the usa and the democratic party. so we're going to see a lot of that silicon valley with artificial intelligence and issues like that. facebook and send children. that's going to be an issue. we're going to be seeing

there. we're going to where the republicans are going to be talking about california and the bay area for the homelessness, the drugs, the crime problems, the high costs, all of that. the democrats are going to be saying it's a beautiful place to come. it's a beautiful place to see. but let's talk about joy. let's talk about moving forward. let's talk about going better. they're not going to want to necessarily focus in on the downsides of, but we'll have a starring role in some of these commercial trust me. yeah. >> well for sure makes sense. thanks for your insight. to be continued, phil, as we see as we see. >> well, donald trump spent his day trying to label democrats as soft on crime. >> if it was up to them, you wouldn't even have the men behind me, people behind me. representatives behind me. you wouldn't have them. they wouldn't. they wouldn't have a job. they think it's going to just police itself. everything is going to take care of itself. >> trump spoke at the livingston county sheriff's office in howell, michigan, pledging to increase overall police numbers

while shifting federal policing resources to border enforcement. democrats criticized trump for appearing in howl just weeks after white supremacists staged a rally there. the republican nominee deflected criticism, stating that president biden visited the town in 2021. >> all right, back now, let's take a live look at the floor of the democratic national convention. just out of curiosity, what are you most interested in seeing tonight? because the energy that we saw with julian there was palpable. >> it certainly was. you could feel it. i think the message that's going to resonate for the future. right. this is all about harris tonight. and we see stephanie grisham speaking right now. >> do we want to dip into this for a few seconds? well, as she steps away, i was going to say perfect live tv timing right there. >> but certainly some of the biggest names in politics obviously making their making their presence this week to set that path forward. and it's going to be interesting to see

that messaging and it's a huge platform on. >> abc news will have special live coverage of the democratic national convention. and tonight the live coverage airs from 7 to 8 p.m. wednesday and thursday. it is 6 to 8 p.m. after the enactment of multiple parking restrictions followed by threats of towing and parking tickets. >> many people living in rvs on san francisco's winston drive and zoo road finally have stable housing. abc seven news reporter luz pena has been following this story really for months now, and is here in studio live with the latest. >> luis. >> yeah, that's right. it's been a long process for many families and people living in rvs in san francisco's lake merced area. many of them lost their jobs during the pandemic and had to either rent rvs or buy them to not end up on the streets. now, after several years, they finally have permanent housing just days before many kids start school. after a year living in an rv with her daughter and two grandkids. rosales and her family finally have a home. we're very happy because we have

a stable place, and we don't have to be out in the streets anymore. the apartment may look empty with no furniture, but she says it's filled with so much love and peace. we sat on the carpet where she talked about being grateful for this place. now they start school. >> gracias a dios. >> and they're at peace next to her nine year old christopher. are you happy? yes. christopher now has his own room and an air mattress with his favorite stuffed animals. one of his favorite parts of having a home is running water. they are one of over 20 households the city placed into permanent housing over the weekend. all rv residents who used to park on winston drive until the city implemented a four hour parking limit for a repaving project. many ended up moving to a new road, but were asked to move again or get towed. last week, social workers and city staff

offered them financial vouchers that made it easier for them to afford housing and many accepted. we were able to connect with 27 households. >> that's both families with children and adults and we have moved 21 of those households into permanent housing as of today, and there's still a few more in process. >> this also means the city will pay for a large portion of the rent for up to three years in some cases. >> this is a time limited rental subsidy program, so the family or individual will pay 30% of their income towards the rent and the subsidy makes up the rest up to market rate value. >> a feat that was only accomplished thanks to a partnership with parkmerced, the largest single landlord participating in the section eight program. the city vet them through their standard qualification process. >> parkmerced maximus. we also have a standard qualification process, a partnership with the city of san francisco that opened the doors for many

families to finally exit homelessness. now they have homes, so we're so grateful that we got to support with the city and support in finding these homes for these families. >> now, where are those rvs? well, several families told me they are planning to sell them or give them back to the people who are renting them. the city is also offering these families information on a state program that buys back vehicles. luz pena, abc seven news. >> lou. thank you. san francisco candidate for mayor aaron peskin, has unveiled his plan to address homelessness. >> this is not pie in the sky. these each and every aspect of this well thought out. well crafted, expert consulted plan is absolutely implementable. >> peskin's calling for a complete overhaul of the city's current plan for the unhoused. instead of the ongoing encampment sweeps, he proposes buying properties in the city and converting them to shelters. peskin is a longtime san francisco supervisor. he calls current mayor london breed's

more aggressive approach to addressing the homelessness crisis. in recent weeks, a campaign gimmick. breed's team has not commented on that statement. peskin is one of four candidates challenging breed for the mayor's seat, along with fellow supervisor asha safai, philanthropist daniel lurie, and former interim mayor mark farrell. >> coming up on abc seven news at four. used to be teenagers. just couldn't wait to get their driver's licenses. well now many are just going without. so what's changed there? a little too close for comfort animals at risk now because of human selfie behavior and the future of grocery shopping. how new technology is both helping and hurting consumers. >> i'm spencer christian after a warm start to the week, some cooler, possibly showery weather is coming our way. i'll have the accuweat to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.'

north fourth street caught fire just around 10:00 this morning. the flames came from a pile of debris in a vacant lot next door that had caught fire. the house has moderate damage. the residents will be allowed back in. the debris pile was the remnants of two abandoned houses that caught fire back in march. we reported on it back then, and it was supposed to be cleaned up today. every year, cal fire

hands out grants for wildfire prevention projects, and this year, several bay area agencies are recipients. oakland received a grant to trim and remove trees along evacuation routes in the hills. the berkeley fire department received one for a defensible space program. alameda, contra costa, napa and sonoma counties are also getting money for fire prevention projects. >> emergency crews have recovered the remains of a person who was electrocuted during an explosion in richmond. this incident happened about 330 this morning inside a p-g-and-e's vault at second avenue and cutting boulevard. investigators say it appears the person came in contact with energized electrical lines inside that vault. that person has not yet been identified, and it's unclear why they were in that hazardous area to begin with. police have arrested 12 people in connection with a large scale fraud operation in the south bay. officers arrested one person in connection with mail theft at an apartment in santa clara earlier this month, and that led police to serve

search warrants in santa clara and san jose, where they recovered several items, including mail, keys, gambling machines, drugs packaged for sale as well. 11 more individuals were then taken into custody at those two locations. >> well, the future of grocery shopping is already showing up on store shelves in the form of electronic price tags. >> and experts say they could both help and hurt consumers. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley, explaining the potential as digital price tags are becoming even more political. >> food prices have shot up over 20% in recent years, something economists say was rooted in the disrupted pandemic supply chain. now there is new technology in the world of grocery shopping in the form of digital price tags replacing paper and ink tags and signs. walmart says in the coming year, they'll be rolling out the new tags in over 2300 stores. other grocery chains already have them, and others are likely to follow suit. the

new price tags can be quickly updated by stores via a mobile app. vice president kamala harris voiced her concerns at a campaign stop last week over price gouging in grocery stores. >> senator warren and casey have actually sent a letter to kroger ceo with a list of questions they're very concerned about the idea of surge pricing on food, the prices could change based on availability. it could be based on, you know, it's a hot summer day. so the price of water might be increased. so there's a lot of pros to it for the store and a lot of cons for it for the consumer. >> stores pledged to not use surge pricing. walmart said in an online article. this efficiency means we can spend more time assisting customers and less time on repetitive tasks. >> it's going to reduce the labor quite a bit, and that's why i think it makes sense from the retailers point of view.

>> the president of the local food and commercial workers union told abc seven news. digital price tags are another direct attempt to reduce the hours of grocery store clerks who are already struggling for enough hours for consumers. dynamic pricing and competition could potentially decrease some prices. >> i can see retailers using this to, you know, lower prices. for example, if there is expiry on the food products or on produce and fruit, then you could equally lower the prices. >> what's certain is digital tags are poised to pop up in many stores in the year ahead. in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> it's going to be really interesting to see how people react to that and how the stores, you know, try to adapt. yeah. all right. talk about the forecast because some changes are ahead. >> that's right. we hear some rain could be on the way. let's

check in with spencer christian. how's it looking? >> okay. stephanie. it was. it could very well be on the way. it's going to be turning cooler later in the week. increasing clouds and maybe a little bit of light rain, but. right now, i'll show you what's happening on the satellite radar. composite image. you can see low pressure offshore digging in. that's going to become increasingly the dominant factor in our weather as we head toward the end of the week, is already producing really gusty wind pattern. right now we have wind gusts ranging from about 20mph to just over 30mph across the region. nonetheless, even with that onshore wind flow, an impressive one, i might add. it is generally warmer across the bay area than it was at this time yesterday. about 3 to 5 degrees warmer in most locations. here's the view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco where it's 71 degrees right now. we have upper 70s at oakland and hayward, 87, san jose, 85 at redwood city, and 68 at half moon bay. nice view at the golden gate, where skies are blue and breezes are robust. it is 88 degrees in santa rosa right now, 77 in petaluma, 87 napa 94 fairfield. so we still

have quite a bit of warm weather, weather, especially in our inland areas. it's 90 in concord and 86 in livermore. and looking down onto the bay and on to san francisco from mount tam. these are our forecast headlines. next three days we'll have a breezy and increasingly cooler pattern friday into saturday, there's a pretty good chance of some showers, and it will be much cooler. in fact, high temperatures may not even reach 80 degrees inland on friday, and then early next week, some summer sizzle returns. temperatures will bounce right back up into a more summerlike range. overnight, we'll see a little bit of low clouds developing at the coastline and beyond, pushing locally over the bay and maybe even some patchy drizzle that will be mainly offshore, pushing on land a little bit, but by 9:00 tomorrow morning that will all be gone, giving way to mainly sunny skies overnight. low temperatures will be generally in the mid to upper 50s, a little bit milder in the inland east bay where antioch will bottom out at about 64 degrees, which is quite mild for an overnight reading, and highs tomorrow. 64 half moon bay 68, san francisco a low to mid 70s

around the bay shoreline. mid to upper 80s in the warmest inland areas. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast notice the cooling begins on thursday and it cranks into well, i shouldn't say high gear, but low gear because temperatures will be dropping even more on friday with inland highs only in the upper 70s. and friday is the day we have a chance of some showers or light rain late friday into saturday. it's about a maybe 20 to 40% chance, so we might see some damp areas on friday sunnier and a little bit warmer on saturday and going into early next week, we might see high temperatures climbing back into the triple digit range by next monday or tuesday. >> all right, that warming trend continues. >> it does indeed. spencer. >> thank you. okay. well it's a big day for incoming freshmen at cal. we were there for move in day. >> and are you ready for the cute dog alert? oh my goodness. so how sfo's own barney is faring in the tsa's cutest

price lock guarantee. switch today for a limited time. about the death of his wife laci and their baby. >> laci went missing in modesto on christmas eve, 2002. she was eight months pregnant. her body was found months later in the berkeley marina. a new documentary series looks at whether peterson killed his wife and their unborn child. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn joining us live in the newsroom with more on the story. suzanne. so, larry, stephanie, for the first time since his conviction in 2004, we're hearing from scott peterson on camera. >> he's sitting in prison

speaking over a video call with the documentary series maker, who is an investigative journalist. >> scott peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife. >> this was a beautiful, pregnant, missing woman. >> in the new peacock original documentary, face to face with scott peterson, we're hearing from the convicted murderer on camera. >> why should anyone want to hear your side of the story? >> because i didn't kill my family. >> a lot of people are tuning in to hear what peterson has to say. some ask, why now? >> why? i want to speak. i regret not testifying. i have a chance to show people what the truth is and if they're willing to accept it. former prosecutor steve clark followed the scott peterson case closely as a legal analyst. >> more than two decades ago, my reaction to scott's statements now is where was all this when you did have the chance to testify? >> you have to recognize that

the innocence project has advanced the theory that scott peterson is innocent and that there are alternative theories to what happened to laci. >> peterson is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for killing his wife, laci and their unborn child, conner. he still denies that he did it. the documentary producer questioned peterson about his unusual behavior during the investigation that he came across unconcerned. >> they're saying it because i was unwilling for the first few weeks to go in front of a camera and give them the terrible emotions i was feeling. >> the public later learned that peterson was having an affair with amber frey. clark says peterson didn't act like someone dealing with a devastating loss because he did not come across as someone who was a widow who was someone who cared about losing his wife and child. in the docuseries, peterson was asked if he killed laci because he didn't want to be married or

he didn't want to be a father. >> that's so offensive. it's so disgusting. i just don't get that argument. >> peterson says he thinks about laci and conner often. he says there are times when he quote, becomes a wreck. the last comment from peterson on camera. he apologizes for becoming emotional. and some people say peterson seems stoic during the investigation and the trial. others say when he did show emotion, it did not seem genuine. legal analyst stephen clark says peterson is not under oath. he's not being cross-examined right now, clark says he will. we will have to wait and see if peterson is given a new trial. live in the newsroom suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. suzanne, thank you. >> a new study could be a game changer for people at risk of developing diabetes. the study found a popular weight loss and diabetes drug reduced the chance of developing the condition by 94% for patients at high risk. abc news reporter tim pulliam has a closer look. >> there is no cure for type two diabetes, which affects 1 in 10 americans, according to the cdc.

but this new research is a step forward in prevention for people at risk, as medications for obesity and diabetes become more and more popular, research now points to a new benefit in people who have an increased risk of developing type two diabetes. drug maker eli lilly says a new trial showed the key ingredient in its wildly popular drugs found in montsoreau can nearly eliminate the progression to type two diabetes by 94% for people most at risk. >> we found in this study that those that use this medication had a substantially reduced risk of developing diabetes later in life. >> researchers studied more than 1000 people living with prediabetes, obesity, or who were overweight. all of them took tirzepatide, also known as montiero and zap, bound for three years. the study found those taking the highest dose, on average lost 30% of their body weight. >> so this speaks to not only the benefits of this medication in terms of weight loss, but preventing a diagnosis that 1 in 10 americans live with in this country.

>> side effects include nausea and diarrhea, according to the cdc. preventing type two diabetes can reduce the risk of kidney failure, stroke and heart disease, and the fda says medical bills for treating diabetes can cost thousands of dollars annually. health officials say shortages on weight loss and diabetes medications like mounjaro, ozempic wegovy have eased up recently, but the fda says the drugs are still in short supply. makers say they have ramped up production to meet demand. tim pulliam, abc news, los angeles. >> coming up. fewer teens are getting behind the wheel and a comfortable high heel.

you're not imagining it. federal highway administration data shows just 69% of 19 year olds had licenses in 2022. so now let's go way back to 1983, and 87% had their licenses. so 87 to 69. in that span of time, teens surveyed say they're comfortable relying on public member give them a lift. others say, i think in the uber waymo, you know, whatever rideshare lyft is, your preference. it's just easier than it was when we were. well, spencer, when you were a kid was the pony express,

but a little different. so you had to wait for the pony to get there. exactly. >> anyway, it had to clean up after him. >> yeah. sorry. but. but you understand. like it makes sense. you know, it's too easy almost to grab an uber or you know, where to go. >> now, in the city, it's all at our fingertips now. but i do think that the pandemic had something to do with this. because even now, the california dmv is still trying to crack away on the backlog for some of those appointments, even just their systems in general. it was so complicated for a while. right. and they're still trying to work through that. >> well, i grew up in a rural area, so learning to drive, and it was like a taste of freedom. you know, i was going to drive so you could get out of the house and be free and get away from the control of grown ups. >> well, and the independence of not having to rely on, you know, waiting for your waymo that's going to honk at another car just because they honk when they're close to each other. i don't know, i just yeah. yeah. >> it's understandable. >> but the expensive part. i get it. >> yeah. yeah. well, especially

in california. yeah. >> there's no question. >> yeah. >> all right. well, do you tend to endlessly scroll through social media videos when you're bored? a new study finds that act may actually end up making you more bored. researchers at the university of toronto tested people who watched a ten minute video straight, and people who could skip or fast forward through a longer video. now those who actually watched the video without skipping were more engaged and satisfied than those who skipped around. >> you know, when i first saw the story and i saw a ten minute video, i thought, oh, i'd never make it that long. this is just short attention span. i don't even know what it would be about, but it doesn't. ten minutes. i was like, well, couldn't they have done this in 90s or something? >> it does sound like a long time, but i think what the story says is right. it's the focus. it's the investment, it's. and it will seem more satisfying. but yeah, everybody just has a short attention span. next next. that wasn't good enough. next, next. >> i guess i fall into that

category. i haven't found very much at all that holds my attention for of these videos, you're talking about on social media, that holds my attention for ten minutes. >> yeah. no, it's a good point even, isn't it? the saying like five to 10s you have to make your first impression on someone. i mean, that's truly how much time you have. and the millennial world. i think it also depends on if it's something you really are interested in that you could watch. >> like i find a wildlife video of like a bald eagle doing something cool and i'm like, whoa, or extended weather forecast, you know? exactly. the seven day i'm all in said nobody ever. >> now to another tale from the world of fashion. we're talking high heel sneakers. they are now a thing. check these out. they're called sneaks from sara blakely. that was the entrepreneur who created spanx. i'd say that was a mild success, right? the luxury hybrid stiletto. those are her words are hitting the stores today. her goal was to create a pain free heel that eliminates some

of the more annoying aspects of high heels, but pain free does not come cheaply. the sneaks are selling for $395 to $595. why don't we break this in half? just spencer, since i'm going to assume this is not your or my area of expertise with the ladies, but would you folks? would you be interested just in the look? never mind the price. we'll get to that. i mean, it's just a booty. >> essentially, it's a booty, but it's supposed to be more comfortable. and then she made it look like a sneaker, which i guess that's the fashion twist. but, like, booties can be comfortable. >> yeah, but i feel like, you know, with that type of shoe, you would wear it like sneakers. like they remind me of, like the facade of it. like workout shoes. i would not wear heels working out. right. so i think it appeals to a very specific type of style. yeah, yeah. >> and price range as well. >> when i hear that term though, high heel sneaker, it's a little bit of nostalgia there for me because it's going way back in history. larry, in 1964, when i was a junior in high school, there was a song, a hit song

called put on your high heel sneakers. >> really? >> yeah. a guy named tommy tucker, i believe. i think that was his name. >> will you sing it for us? >> oh, it was on. >> yes. >> you'd rather see me walk around in high heel sneakers than try to sing? >> we would like to see that. you know what? i'm >> let me get my wallet out. what's it going to take? what's it going to cost? >> i know, yeah. >> tommy tucker, i would see our producer, what's her name? >> no, no. >> shefs. stacey stacey's laughing in my ear. no. stacey comes to the rescue and confirms that it is tommy tucker. okay, nice. >> nice. spencer gets to know your coworkers. all right, steph, you're up. >> all right. if you've ever been told, you have your head in the stars, this could be for you. a new limited edition doritos has been created specifically for outer space. cool ranch, zero gravity doritos minis. do you like this, larry? >> it seems ridiculous, but i do

want to give credit to the marketing people that came up with this, because even that it's just a thing is mind boggling. >> it looks like a pringles can. it does. >> right? yeah it does. >> yeah, yeah. >> they're packaged in space approved tins, they say, and will debut on spacex's polaris dawn mission now, isn't there? >> you have to have a minimum of a $200 donation to saint jude children's research hospital, right? >> at least it's going for a good cause. yeah exactly. >> i do support saint jude's regularly. yeah absolutely. >> partnership between saint jude and doritos. so it's all right. >> i mean, i guess you can do something good, make a donation, and then you can take your little photo with your little pringles slash space. doritos can for social media. i guess. >> yeah, yeah. >> get the likes, the clicks. >> it's like a ten minute video. >> yeah. there you go. ten minutes of you eating. >> only the seven day gets ten minutes. spencer. only the seven day forecast deserves it. but but i will say, like i said, the marketing people at doritos are like, okay, what can we do?

that's new? like, yeah, we've got like 100 flavors of these things. so they zero gravity doritos. now rebranding maybe. yes, maybe, maybe, maybe i'll get lighter in zero gravity. th 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. evenity® is proven to reduce spine fracture risk by 73%. evenity® can increase risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from a cardiovascular problem. do not take evenity® if you have low blood calcium, or are allergic to it. serious allergic reactions and low blood calcium have occurred. tell your doctor about jaw bone problems, as they have been reported with evenity®. or about pain in your hip, groin, or thigh,

protection from criminals. reporter rob mcmillan from our sister station in la has the details. reporter >> it's something we've seen a lot of lately. burglaries and break ins and home invasions on the rise all across southern california. many of these guys casing neighborhoods ahead of time. some of them, perhaps even using digital tools to do it. consequently some residents are now choosing to blur their homes completely on google maps, giving potential thieves less material to work with. >> well, i didn't even know about it. i've never heard of that, and i think that's a great idea. >> riverside police officer ryan railsback saying anything homeowners can do to deter thieves is probably a good idea. >> criminals are coming up with new and innovative ways to do their job. we need to be up on how to better do ours, and that is a very good way for people to protect their homes. >> so how can you blur your home or business on google maps? well, it's actually a pretty

easy process to get started. first, find your home or place of business on google maps. go to the lower right corner of the screen and click on report a problem. you can then choose what you want blurred, answer a couple of questions and then request google to make the change. >> what a great idea to harden your target meaning to make your residents a little more anonymous. so that people can't see what you have or what your house looks like. >> law enforcement expert bruce thomas says it's also important to have proper signage outside your home, indicating whether you have cameras, an alarm system, or even a guard dog. consider this another one of those kinds of tools. do you think that bad actors out there could really be using google maps to case neighborhoods? >> i would say yes on some of your higher end gangs. they're probably using all sorts of social media tools to gain intelligence, just as we as police officers do. rob

mcmillan, abc seven news. >> you can get detailed information about crime that's happening where you live with our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it includes information and trends for oakland, san jose and san francisco, and you can find it at abc7 news .com. i never would have thought of blurring out a home for safety purposes, but now it actually makes sense. >> it does make sense. yeah. yeah. and something that actually could be usable. yeah. in today's world, especially with everything online. >> again, yes, you can find that almost anything for sure. >> well, to weather now the heat is certainly hot in some areas. >> it was is tapering off though the next few days. but you're right stephanie. we had some highs in the mid 90s. some spots today. now overnight we'll see. increasing winds will be gusty at the coast. and we'll see a few clouds push up against the coastline overnight. and a few pockets of drizzle right off shore, mainly offshore. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s and highs tomorrow under mainly sunny skies. low 60s at the coast and mid 70s around the bay shoreline. mid to upper 80s in the warmest inland areas. and

babies and they weigh about 1,000 pounds. the hill cows. so that's a lot of muscle to have heading your way. >> and he says it can happen quick. the park district uses animals like cattle to graze over almost 87,000 acres. august to october is calving season when interactions with calves can bring danger to both people and animals. >> these calves are not the kind of cows you find on little farm. it's not a petting zoo. they're range cows. they're meant to be in these wild lands. >> allison ralph is a rangeland specialist with the park district. she has some tips when out in the open spaces. do not approach or touch calves. no selfies with calves. do not get between a mother and her calf and keep dogs on a leash. >> they're not defensive by nature. they're not. but they may perceive dogs as a predator, especially around their calves. >> and it's not just the cows in the east bay. this video shows people pulling a bear cub from a tree to take selfies in north carolina. we did confront them

on site that day. >> we let them know how irresponsible and how potentially deadly it could be for that cub to be separated from its mom. >> the park district says if you encounter a calf and a cow along a trail, give them time to move or go off trail to get around them in the east bay. anser hassan abc seven news. >> abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc7 bay area streaming tv app and join us whenever you want. wherever you are. 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, and we'll leave you. going back live to chicago and the democratic national convention, where the roll call is just getting underway. that's next when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists
