take a look at closer look at how the drug works and who it's meant for as well as asked the alzheimer's association. how it plays into the ultimate goal, which, of course, is finding a cure. well, that conversation. in just a few minutes, but 1st a look at your news headlines in san jose fire crews are battling a fire that broke out in the back lot of a goodwill all facility on north seventh street. that's near highway 101 and 880. it appears from boxes and trucks have caught fire emergency crews are on the scene. the driver accused of killing a family in san francisco's west portal neighborhood pleaded not guilty to all 4 felony counts of vehicular. manslaughter. 79 year old mary fong wow. was ordered to surrender her license. investigators. say back in march, la was speeding the wrong way when her suv jumped a curb and crashed into a munich bus stop. killing the family. is next. next court date is october 10th. barricades are stacked up at dolores park as san francisco police warn skateboarders. not

to show up. for another. hill bomb this weekend. last year chaos erupted with crowds throwing fireworks cans and glass bottles at officers. the police response drew criticism. by some parents. and a class action. lawsuit. president biden delivering a strong message during a campaign event in wisconsin. today. saying he will stay in the race for president. and declaring that he will win this coming after his poor debate performance against donald trump last week. today's rally kicks off what could be a critical weekend for biden. as he seeks to reassure voters and governor gavin newsom is also out campaigning for president biden today at an event in pittsburgh pennsylvania. it warned people about what a return of 2 abdominal trump to the white house might bring. newsom has been speaking out forcefully in defensive biden pushing back against calls for the president. to step aside and allow another democrat to run. bay area fire agencies were busy on i, thanks in part to illegal fireworks. they were

going off all over oakland. and alameda. county especially near the coliseum. lighting up the skies for hours. and martinez illegal firework. for popping up. right behind firefighters who were trying to put out a brush fire on michelle drive crews were able to quickly get it under control. and with more than a dozen wildfires burning across the state right now, attention now turning to the french fire burning just east of the city of mariposa, not far from yosemite, cal fire says since that fire broke out yesterday, it has double in size to more than 800 acres. evacuation orders for the area have been called. that's affecting more than 1000. people. as you know, it is a 1st alert weather day. another 1 is our extreme heat continues. meteorologist. zoe minces in the virtual view studio with our high temps and, of course, our fire danger, zoe. happy friday. we are in for another hat the next couple of days of weather as that heat dome continues to sit overhead

with the dry air with the windy conditions comes fire danger. unfortunately, that fire danger has remained in effect, basically all week long, and it continues through. the next 24 hours. this red flag warning does expire late. saturday night. so today tomorrow, those fire dangers are going to continue, but there is a little bit of good news when it comes to our winds and our coastal communities because over the past couple of days we've had an offshore flow where much drier air gets dragged for my inland communities out. to the sea. but now look at the change in wind direction. we're getting more moisture. and we're cool. air from the ocean. is getting dragged inland. or coastal communities are actually going to be a lot more comfortable this afternoon, but you might notice it's not spreading much further than the coast and that is going to allow our high. heat to continue. that's just something to keep in mind over the next 4872. and even longer hours as we are seeing this excessive heat warning in effect not just through the weekend, but into mid next week. not just the excessive heat warnings for inland communities but also

heat advisories. that includes areas in the bay that are going to be seeing much warmer than normal temperatures and a lot of locations don't have air conditioning, so that is something very big to keep in mind that heat is going to be on at least through the rest of the weekend and into next week as this large area of high pressure this heat don't continues. to travel overhead this weekend. continuing into next week as well, but there there's some good news when it comes to cooler temperatures arriving next week as high pressure continues to push inland will leave us in the dust and allow us to cool down just a bit. but this afternoon, it is going to be a hot 1. still especially for inland. communities. that onshore flow will cool down temperatures a degree or 2 in san francisco. but again, it's further east further inland that we do have the concerns with 107. degree high temperatures this afternoon. places like concord. antioch's even over into livermore. we are going to be seeing this oppressive. heat. heat safety top of mind today drink a lot of water. find times for breaks in the shade and make sure you do add that

sunscreen to your regular routine. even further south redwood city 91 sunscreen necessary lows. gatto's 101 definitely need to drink a lot of water. and if you want to escape a little bit of the heat i don't know what a half moon bay where we are expecting high temperatures did not even reach 70 degrees because of that onshore flow, keeping us cooler, keeping us a lot more comfortable. all things to keep in mind, as we step out over the next couple of days today is going to be the peak day when it comes to our heating high temperatures. upper hundreds getting out to 1 of 4 by tomorrow. by sunday, mid 90s in the low 90s by early next week. and it's going to be a lot nicer next week. but this week, we do have to remember that heat is going to only dwindled down and we are going to be seeing the chance for that marine layer to make a appearance. >liz>and stay with us for continuing coverage through this heat wave on air online at kpix dot and streaming on the freeze. cbs. news app. on the health watch alzheimer's disease affects nearly 7 million americans. there is

still no cure. but now there is new hope. the fda approved a new drug that could slow the progression. of the in the early stages of the disease. the medication will be sold under the brand name. soon law is given in monthly infusions and has been shown to work in people with the very early onset symptoms. of alzheimer's. and in a large trial, it slowed the decline of cognitive the function. overall. by about 22. over 18 months now, doctors acknowledge this treatment is an incremental advance, but they say time matters. >that may sound like oh, what's the big deal? well, that's a big deal. if you have a wedding, something in your life if you want to do something we're not reversing it. it's not a cure. slowing it down. the decline. >liz>drug is set to be available in just weeks each vial will cost 690. before. insurance. which adds up to about $32,000. a year. it is, however, covered by medical

medicare part b. now we know memory loss and dementia are the most common symptoms associated with alzheimer's disease. but now doctors that at ucsf are studying an underdiagnosed. syndrome impacting how a person sees and it's often an early sign. of alzheimer's. susan and charles stewart will never forget when they 1st met. she was on vacation. visiting from england. he was a friend of a friend. it was love at 1st sight. okay? yeah. 4 months later. that 1st date became forever. we don't spent 3 weeks together. and we've been married now for 54 years, four years. yeah. this. the secret to their successful marriage. may be savoring life's simpler. moments. we walk. um, we do things together in the kitchen. with 1 of the ways that we get through. this is as we do a lot together. few years ago, charles was playing

1 of his favorite games. dominoes. couldn't sequence anything. and i didn't realize it was because i wasn't seeing i was seeing double or wasn't seeing. yeah. know, the the the numbers. they went to several doctors, but none of them could identify what was going on. remember getting the mri results and charles coming in and saying it's normal? this was in the slammer. the summer of 2020. and i was thinking normal. really, really surprised. finally went to a neurologist. and their tests. told a different story. when they showed us the scans. you know which kind of lit up like a christmas tree, charles was diagnosed with posterior. cortical atrophy or p. c. a condition that impacts what his brain tells his eyes to see. it's an underdiagnosed. syndrome that is often the 1st sign of alzheimer's. disease. patients. who have sociocultural atrophy. 1 of

their main issues is to get the proper diagnosis. especially at an early stage. what happens that usually they get? um to see their general? prediction? er, there pcp. they get to see eye doctors that don't actually understand what's going on. because the eye in and of itself is totally fine. and usually there's a delay. diagnosis because it takes a while for the patient to be referred to an urologist who knows about this syndrome. marianne shape low and renewed lajoie. at ucsf. led the 1st large scale study of p c. a, they found that 94% of patients with p c. a had alzheimer's pathology. think about alzheimer's disease. usually you think about someone was in there. 70s. or 80s. has slowly progressive memory deficits. and we are for interested in those cases. we have as a disease that presents in a different way. for charles and susan. getting that diagnosis was a relief. when you know so it's powerful. but to diagnose

the actual waiting for a diagnosis as much worse than the diagnosis. itself. charles is participate. in clinical trials. so doctors can better understand this complicate. disease. but he also has something special. that doesn't come in the form of a drug. i think it's a gift. because it focuses you. on trying to make your life and the lives of other people. better. his attitudes. fantastic. it's kind of you know, he makes life. his very helpful. he's very kind. and it's kind of for me. it's kind of like living with the 77 year old that needs a little bit of help. it doesn't remember things very well. at this. and we do realize that it's a progressive disease and things will get worse. he also has a partnership. that has proven it can weather any storm. in sickness. and in

health. >liz>occurs in about 10%. of alzheimer's patients, but until now it's been excluded from clinical trials. 94% of patients. have alzheimer's. now to put that into perspective for you. you 70%. of patients with dementia or memory loss are actually diagnosed with the disease. still ahead more on the new alzheimer's treatment. just approved. we're talking live with a representative from the alzheimer's. association about this new tool in the fight. plus, we meet a northern california man caring for his dad who has dementia. by documenting their day to day. on social media. is helping >>

are saying this medication really buys patients time? it's not cheap, 32,000 a year, the medicare expected to provide coverage to it, but 70% of patients were actually able to stop taking the drug after 18 months. and it reduced the risk of disease progressing by about 40%. how big of a deal of this in the ultimate goal. of finding a cure for alzheimer disease. >live>yeah, it's very exciting. right? because what? what makes this drug different than its? its predecessor? but you're also monoclonal antibodies is exactly that. you made that after 12 to 18 months, patients were able to actually stop the treatment. they were sort of prescribed a pre pre level of how much amyloid clearing each patient was thought to have. and so when you think about advances, and access in affordability. because, as you mentioned these drugs aren't cheap. they will hopefully be covered well buy insurance. but it means that it will make them more. accessible. and while yes, it's not a cure for

alzheimer's disease. it is something that is giving people more time to be able to make their own decisions to be. part of their families. events to really be have that independent. ability. to me. their decisions and and activities of daily >liz>living. yeah, we know time is everything when it comes to alzheimer's, but it's important to note that the key to the effectiveness of this drug really relies an early detection. and right now the recommendations are to screen alzheimer's. when you 1st start to see those early symptoms, but given this new treatment could those guidelines change? could we be screening more people earlier? >live>so i think that is absolutely something that the neurological communities community is talking about. alzheimer's disease is severely under about 50% of people living with alzheimer's have never been formally diagnosed. by their health care. professionals. now advances in diagnostic tools is also making some great strides at the same

time that we're seeing advances in treatment. so we're getting closer and closer to more simplified. accessible. testing rather than sort of the subjective testing. and ruling out. that we tend to have now and and you heard from charlie. and susan saying, you know, waiting for the diagnosis. was worse than almost getting the diagnosis. people want to know what's going on with themselves. whether it's alzheimer's disease. a different type of dementia or something else that could be treated. and so it is time to think about recognizing those signs early about not ignoring them talking to your health care professionals and talking to your families about it. we have this stigma with memory loss. and we need to normalize. the fact that as people um, have experienced the symptoms of alzheimer's. or dementia. it's ok. it's nothing they did it's ok and we should talk about >liz>it. now. we also know that alzheimer's not only impacts the patient but also family members and caregivers. how

could this new drug affect the quality of life or even caregiving? solutions? >live>yeah. i think it can help to first of all, i think if you're diagnosing alzheimer's earlier than you're just improving the overall supported the caregiver long term because oftentimes it is issues that come up because we're not diagnosed. that cause increase. er visits and complicate but i think it also allows allows more time right so the progression will be different, and it allows for families to really understand. the disease to take those steps, like learning about the disease and and really giving them more time in that higher functioning period. of the disease. >liz>claire day with the alzheimer's association thank you so much. >live>thank you. >liz>awesome. as we mentioned being a caregiver to someone with alzheimer's or dementia could be a huge challenge and often that responsibility falls on the patients. patient's child. reporter ashley sharp cut up with a sacramento county
