i feel sad in a sense. in her time now, it is spread thinly. >> oaklanders react to the raid on the mayor's house and violence in the city. one supporter is having second thoughts. >> i think that she felt like, you know, if she was not going to get out and defend herself nobody else is going to do for her. >> reporter: a public relations correspondent reacts to the mayor's response. one east bay city weighs a big problem. how to handle sideshows and street takeovers. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hi, i'm sara donchey. we are not even halfway through

the week and oaklanders feel like their heads are spinning. they had to keep up with quite a lot over the last few days. frankly, the past few years. last week, as you know, the fbi raided mayor thao's house and raided homes and officers associated with a family that runs the recycling contractor the mayor hired a high profile attorney but on monday he quit after thao gave a speech in her own defense one that brass said was a big surprise to him. and the chief of communications also quite. stepping down nine months on the job. on top of it all mayor tha, o is dealing with a $177 million budget deficit and a proposal to bridge that gap would slash millions from the police and fire department budgets. tonight lauren toms went to city hall to talk to oakland voters about how they feel about what is going on in our city. >> i am disappointed in

everything that has happened. >> reporter: john feels different about oakland mayor thao these days, he supported thao when she ran for mayor. he has opinion in oakland most of his life and experienced homelessness. that is what drew him to her candidacy. >> she was unhoused for a little while, lived in her car with her kid. feel like she made promises to the unhoused community she did not stick by. >> reporter: 18 months later the mayor is not focusing on the issues he hoped she would. >> just makes me feel, well, sad in a sense because i know in her time now it is not spread thinly, so that means she will not baible to have time to, you know, address the issues like homelessness and things that we need and would like to see happening in oakland. that is not her number one priority right now >> the raids at the mayor's home came a day after a mas shooting in the city. late

wednesday, 14 people were shot at lake merit. an issue other oaklanders are worried about. she says she was a victim in oakland and in her view the response was little too late. >> i am tired of seeing people get shot. i had a gun put to my head before, you know, when i was going through the drive-thru at popeyes. someone tried to rob me there. >> reporter: thomas is running for city council seat in east oakland on a platform the city nodes to boost police staffing >> we need to enforce law and order. that is what we need. there is ridiculous. no one is safe out here. to cut police budgets in any kind of way is just, it is not right. >> reporter: for john, he is stuck between wanting the best for his city and hoping the best for the mayor. but he says he is tire of being let down >> we want everyone to live

comfortably in oakland and get the resources and needs met. >> all of those concerns and more are things that the mayor may consider as she decides how to shape her response to the fbi investigation and into all of the recent events in oakland. wilson walker asked a pr expert about what he makes of it all. >> what i do know is that this would not have gone down the way it did if i was rich, if i gone to elite private schools or if i had come from money. >> i think she felt like she needed to maybe make a strong statement, you know, not a lot of people have been stepping up to defend her. i think that she felt like, you know, if she was not going to get out and defend herself no one else was going to do it for her. >> for public strategy and public affairs expert. the crisis facing the player and the city of oakland is not really the investigation that came to the mayor's house it

is the compounding of many different crisis. >> the mayor took office in the midst of hacking a.i. denial for service. facing hundreds of millions deficit. the a's stadium negotiations which were unraveling. high crime and crime issues. all of those things when she took office. >> nothing is going to distract me on building the progress in the last 18 months >> no one knows yet where the investigation is going, he says it is all of these events together that are bringing more attention to the fbi probe. even though the public may not be provided detailed any time soon. >> if this was any normal course of events this will be a one-day story, two-day story. but, because of, i think, the challenges that oakland faced over the last year and a half

and the fact that there is a recall election in november, this one event is much more significant. >> i will remain focused on supporting the city council as they vote to pass a balanced budget this week. we will complete the transaction for the sale of the coliseum policy to the african american entertainment group. >> they are going to discuss budget cuts tomorrow and friday. we will keep you posted on that, of course. another problem that oakland and other cities across the bay area have been doling with is illegal sideshows. they take over the streets. they are loud. they are incredibly dangerous. people get hurt. tonight, antioch city leaders are trying to crack down on them. they tried before, four times in fact, but not able to decide on an agreement or a plan. the antioch mayor told us that it is time for the city to put up or shut up.

>> reporter: in one neighborhood in south antioch nearly every intersection has the tire marks of a sideshow. >> dogs are barking, people are scared. sometimes you feel like something is about to hit >> this man lives in a nearby home. 3:00 in the morning just to practice for about five minutes. the other day, a whole crowd showed up. >> it was crazy. around 200 people around, you know, they blocked all of the entrance to the road. so, the cops could not get in. >> the mayor has had enough. he says he has tried three other times to get his colleagues on the council to pass a sideshow ordinance without success. the city is trying utilizing drones and installing small bumps in some intersections. but right now the police have no authority to punish anyone accept the drivers themselves. some believe the law should

hold the spectators responsible and, perhaps, most importantly, those that organize and advertise the mass sideshows. >> that has been the most effective tool we have as a city to stop sideshows, when we are proactive with law enforcement finding those and organizing these and dismantling them there. that is where we are most effective. to me that was the most important part the reality is, spectator, no one used a spectator law. pittsburgh has one. they never use today >> some on the council thought the ordinances were too strict. others saw them as not tough enough. at the meeting the mayor is giving them a choice. hold just organizers responsible or include spectators as well. either way, he says it is time to make a choice. >> that is what we get paid to do to vote. that is it. not complicated. not rocket science. if they want to play games we will put it on full display. these are the ordinances, pick one. we are picking one and we are moving forward. >> reporter: the ordinance is

about holding law breakers accountable. the mayor thinkses that should apply to the lawmakers -- thinks that should apply to the lawmakers as well. >> heed no ordinance would not go into effect until september. a couple thieves after copper wire take down an entire 911 system in multiple bay area cities. how the police are responding to that tonight. and, this massive apartment building being rolled down a street this week reminded us of a similar scene in the pay area some years ago. we compare and contrast this massive roll out. speaking of rolling, the fog, rolling back through the golden gate. a beautiful sunset above the fog. it is taking over, it will be widespread as we start the day on wednesday. see how long it will take to back up along the coast and how it will effect our temperatures coming up in the first alert forecast. how this swimmer went from afraid of the water to being an elite competitor.

. so, we have, in the recent past, reported on issues with 911 responses in the bay area in different cities. the specific problem that three cities are dealing with tonight has nothing to do with staffing shortages or outdated technology. the police tell us copper thieves, cutting wires, disabled 911 phone lines, not once, but twice. it happened on june 4th and again on june 22nd. knocked out lines in three areas. right now, 911

calls are being rerouted to the sheriff's department in all three of the cities. the police say this weekend they heard 911 lines were disrupted again so they went back to where they found the lines cut this month. they found three suspects, they say they caught them in the act. >> that they were only able to sever the cable on one end and they were working to remove the cable and that is when our patrol officers contacted them and fled. copper theft, the communication cables it is a popular crime right now. there are incidents throughout the county. this is the only one that i know of that involved 911 service. >> they arrested two suspects, one got away. at&t is working on a fix to prevent 911 from being impacted if thieves went after the copper lines again. it is expensive and it could take three weeks to fix. in the south bay, the

police arrested a man accused of setting multiple brush fires. firefighter list to put out three fires just before noon. that is about a block from highway 101. the police say someone saw a man attempting to start a fire and that there had been others with suspicious fires in the same area this week >> in newark, firefighters were busy getting the brush fire tapped out. it started this afternoon. burned 34 acres. freight train traffic was stopped and power lines disabled as firefighters got to work. everything is back open and back to normal tonight. we do have to talk about weather. obviously this is the time of the year where we are concerned about fires spreading out of control. the temperatures were not excessive today, though, paul, right? >> right, they were in the 90s the concern earlier today was potential for dry lightning around the bay area. we only had a handful of the cloud-to-ground strikes and the last of the showers quieted down a few hours ago. the moisture rotating around the

heat dome. it is now getting shifted off to the east. you can see the radar loop, the bulk of the activity shifts off to nevada and utah. in between those showers and in between the clouds the temperatures were on the hot side, inland, but not the excessive heat we have seen recently. let's take a look at the observed temperatures others north bay, climbing into the 80s, 88 degrees, one of the warmer spots, north of the golden gate. got up to 81 degrees in vallejo. 68 degrees in san francisco, the numbers, very normal for this time of the year. got to up 87 degrees in redwood city, codraft that contrast that with 80 degrees. the temperatures have been backing down quickly this evening. and, we are going to be seeing the temperatures leveling off in the 50s as we head through tonight. there is the fog that is taking over downtown san francisco. that is why we are not using our salesforce tower camera. it is

socked in. 53 degrees. only a degree warmer in santa rosa. 56 in oak land. still holding on to 71 degrees in concord. as the fog spreads out it will push into the inland valleys by early tomorrow morning, we should start off with reduced visibilities across the bay area. not taking long for the fog to back up out of the inland valleys, along the coast you will have to be happy with an hour or two of the sun glimmering through the low clouds, not just tomorrow, but for most of the extended forecast the temperatures tonight, leveling off in the 50s, a few of the warmer spots, at or above 60 degrees, warming up to around 60 in the coast. normal. lower to middle 70s and lower to middle 80s in the santa clara valley. a full 10 degrees lower than today. it is bringing cooler air to inland parts. middle to upper 70s to 80. the tri-valley, staying below 90 degrees around brentwood and antioch. middle 60s for san francisco, 70 for oakland. a lot of 70s for the

north bay. warmer spots, napa, sonoma, up in the 80s for santa rosa. the hot spots, far north, staying below 90 degrees the onshore breeze is going to be noticeable heading through tomorrow afternoon and evening. some of the strongest gusts will be from middle afternoon into the evening hours around 30 miles an hour and it is a straight onshore breeze. an impact on our temperatures keeping us near or slightly below for the next couple of days. it takes us to the first week of july and shows us a chance of above normal temperatures in the bay area. you can see that in the last couple of days of the seven-day forecast. let's take a look at that. inland parts of the region. temperatures returning to the middle to upper 90s by monday and tuesday. enjoy the stretch of near normal temperatures that we have in store for us heading through the rest of this week and overnight we get some of free air-conditioning for the warmer parts of the bay area. temperatures around the bay area, upper 70s, some spots

flirting with 80 degrees by monday and tuesday. along the coast, the warm up is not going to kick in. not going to have the winds to boost the temperatures. more sunshine but over the next few days folks live closer to the coast, gray skies for the most part. >> it is what you expect in june. >> does not mean we necessarily love days of it on end. yes, you are so right. okay, check this out, paul, people in madison, wisconsin got quite a show when a 400 ton apartment building was raised up and then moved down the street very slowly. >> i would imagine. >> yes. you don't want to take that turn too hard.. >> it was a wheel platform. it was only going a block but the move took longer than expected. crew his to cut down a tree in the way. took down utility poles, some people set up chairs to watch it. almost as good as tiktok. >> just in case it fell down? >> i mean, one would hope it

wouldn't but if you were there to see it, it would be crazy. >> historical building that they did not want to tear down? >> yeah, making way for a 12 story apartment complex. it is familiar because back in 2021 nearly 140-year-old victorian was moved down franklin street. just like in madison it drew a big crowd. marking meters, light his to be moved then, too. trees cutback. moved to a new location on fulton street. >> that is a lot of work. >> i know, i don't like moving my tiny apartment. >> i don't want to clean your garage either. >> all right. a couple is on a food tour taking you across the country. why they are visiting the same restaurant chain over and over again. >> straight ahead in sports, wait until you see the

aboutface from this college coach. and the giants, well, look at it here. they have done it again.

. all right, giants are, can we say they are on a roll? >> going a little crazy, not one, not two, not three, not four. six giants pitchers tonight. you got your money's worth. at this point, keep them coming. they try to navigate out of this logjam. bullpen

game for the giants. able bodied relieved get some. rookie rodriguez, struck out five in his first career start. he allowed just one hit, one run in five and two thirds innings. six giants pitchers combined to hold the cubs to just one run and four hits. now, the giants were clinging to a 2-1 lead. then, this would have been a homer in 29 of 30 ballparks. settle for a double to put the runners at second and third and then san francisco will be able to add insurance. chatman, singling out a run. and the giants won their second straight final of 5-1. former a, john bluemoon. leading 2 in the fourth until l.a. got the bases loaded. first career granny gave the

angels the lead. halos went on to win, final 7-5. the a's lost four straight. turning to hockey. former shark was selected to the hockey hall of fame on tuesday. finishing his career with two memorable seasons in san jose. another shark great, marlo not selected in his first year of eligibility. he is the nhl all-time leader in games played. last night, just moments after losing the championship game of the college world series, texas a&m head coach was asked about rumors that he was a candidate for the open job at rival, texas. >> i think it is selfish of you to ask me that question to be honest with you. but my -- i left my family to be the coach at texas a&m, i took the job at texas a&m to never take another

job. i understand you have to ask the question but i gave up a big part of my life to take this job and i poured every ounce of myself to this job. so, write that. >> well, sara, get ready. less than 24 hours after that defiant speech, he left a&m and accepted the job at texas. [ laughter ] >> paul is booing. >> he is an a&m. >> i lived in texas and i have so many friends texting about this. before you go, we have to talk to you about something else. vern, when someone ends up being a competitive swimmer, you spend your life swimming around in the pool, you are a swim dad. >> yes. but in this case going from terrified of the water to an elite swimmer. >> reporter: when the athletes take their marks for the summer

games at this year's special olympics swimmer gerard will be one to watch. to see him glide through a workout at the pool, you would never know that being in the water was the last thing he wanted to do as a child. >> i was a little afraid of the water because of the sharks >> what did they tell you. >> gerard is 25 years old and his mom says his fear of the water was more like a phobia. >> when we bring him here the first time he was screaming, he was scared of the water. he does not want to go in the water at all. so, he would just be back at the coaches and he

would be screaming. >> the swim coaches who are used to working with special needs kids and adults were patient. >> all of the coaches are very nice. they really work hard on him until he learned how to swim and we find out that it is his passion. he really likes swim something to he started out beginning swimmer. and, become comfortable in the water. now he is an elite swimmer. >> coach greg says that dprks erard is one of the top special olympics in northern california. >> he will do well at the summer games. he is versatile. he swims all four strokes and, he is limited only to entering three events. if they allowed more he would probably, we would enter him a lot more and he would probably win most of them. >> i will be proud to get a will go medal in the summer game or second place or third place.

>> reporter: that would add to his previous gold medals at the games the program is not just about winning. it is about taking part. coach greg says the sport helps develop the whole person and often a factor in their personal growth. >> we have seen a lot of our athletes as they gain confidence it translates into other parts of their life, too. >> way to go. >> as for gerard. his goals outside of the pool are to get a job at a coffee shop and live as an independent adult. >> i am going to do my best. like any other athlete in the olympics. i don't care if it is paraolympics or normal olympics still going to do my best. >> reporter: for now he is focused on one goal. one race at a time. northern california special olympics starts this friday. there will be tennis and track
