democratic oversight. google and these companies, facebook that. >> do whatever they want. >> nolan higgin says there is no evidence of bias. three days ago, though, the conservative website pj media posted this story claiming its research shows 96% of search results are from liberal media. those findings were also run on conservative site breitbart news. a potentially troubling issue for going silt already knows a lot about users' interests, reading habit, past searches and political leaning by tracking you. >> it is certainly a possibility that the news you see is skewed by not only your own search habits, but also your geography and demographics that apply to you. so we don't all get the same results. >> the president is at odds with google search results. >> i think google is really taking advantage of a lot of people. and i think that's a very serious thing and it's a very serious charge. >> google responded to the president's criticism in this statement, quote, search is not used to set a political agenda, and we don't bias our results

toward any political ideology. we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment. >> google's goal is to keep you clicking. they got to keep you clicking on the screen. one way they do that is by giving you content you like that. >> could be convent you favor or products you might want to buy. the president's economic adviser larry kudlow says the administration will be looking into these allegation of bias. however, no one at this point is accusing google of doing anything illegal. we're live in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. >> david, thank you. in the east bay, two new $10,000 rewards are being offered for information about two murders in richmond. the first happened april 9th of this year on hartnett avenue not far from crescent park. the second happened april 18th at the stop n shop grocery on carlson boulevard. both victims were shot and killed. richmond police are asking anyone with information to call them. tipsters will get the reward money if the information leads to a suspect being arrested and charged. it's been a violent 48 hours

where residents are upset over this bill, leslie, and fighting back. >> that's right, dan. in fact, bart officially says they're taking a neutral stance on this bill that is this week before the assembly, and likely to be voted on by the end of the week. it's a bill, as you said, that would allow bart to build housing, affordable housing near their stations, but override local building ordinances, and it's not that popular among some people at least out here in the burbs. >> a quaint neighborhood. we'd like to keep it that way. >> you'll get fierce opposition from those neighboring the lafayette bart station, and at least eight other stays long the bart lines. a b-2923 would empower the bart board to adopt zoning standards for each of their station. parcels of land owned by bart within a half a mile radius of stations could be developed for housing, and local jurisdictions would have to conform to the new bart zoning standards.

assembly man tim grayson out of concord co-authored the bill. >> i think it's past time for cities to come to the table with real solutions for housing, whether they're continuing to raise roadblocks and trying to kill affordable housing developments. >> the idea that you would give bart control over what could be big swaths of downtown areas in some of these towns doesn't make sense to me, and i think they need to really rethink what the mission of bart is and i don't think house shotgun be part of it. >> yeah, that's kind of ridiculous. they have no idea what's going on around their station. whose going to police that? i mean, is it going to be bart police? it is going to be local police? is that more of a burden on the local communities? >> this is the area around the lafayette station from droneview7. the parking lots could become condos. the bill would allow bart to build one story above what's prescribed in local zoning ordinances throughout the city, and does not give bart eminent domain to build on property they

don't currently own. cities like lafayette are holding the line. >> so we don't really want to put folks in charge of building and development and city planning who really run a railroad. >> now the bill also requires if bart builds on a parking lot like this one in lafayette. that would have to replace those parking spots as they build the affordable housing. reporting live in lafayette, i'm leslie brinkley, abc 7 news. >> leslie, thank you. well, today california took an unprecedented step in the field of criminal justice. >> coming up at 6:30, see how the state will process suspects after it eliminates the traditional system of bail. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. cooler than average again today, but a shift in the pattern is coming. accuweather seven-day forecast

researchers say those pesticides are poisoning wildlife and could endanger water supplies. california could rely entirely on clean energy by 2045 if the governor signs a bill just passed by the assembly. the measure creates tough renewable standards and requires all electricity to come from zero carbon sources. this could also have a big trickle-down effect. supporter says they hope this lifts some of the burden that consumers face when paying their utility bill. >> it doesn't make a difference if you're a democrat or republican. we need to have a real impact on reducing our utility rates and making sure that we can move towards a clean energy future. >> opponents say that move could actually backfire. utility companies faced with dealing with the new regulations could pass the cost on to consumers, which of course would drive up your bill. if the governor signs the bill, california would become the second state to rely entirely on renewable energy by 2045. hawaii was the first to make that move.

station in los angeles takes a look at this landmark legislation. >> it's a massive change in how the state will process suspects awaiting trial. it used to depend on how much money you had because you had to afford bail to be released. not anymore. >> obviously, it was just signed by the governor. so we're all waiting to see how it plays out. >> riverside county district attorney mike hestrin says there are pros and cons to the bill. on the plus side, he said there are new rules for those arrested for murder, rape, or other serious crimes. >> whether they get out or not is not going to have anything to do with wlef whether they can come up with money, but it's going to be based on a judge's decision as to whether they pose a risk to the public. in my mind, that's an improvement. that's more fair, and i think it protects the public, actually. >> the way it will work is most people arrested on misdemeanor offenses will be released within 12 hours. but there are those who won't even have the option of bail anymore. that includes people arrested

for physical violence or the threat of physical violence. arrested for a third dui in ten years, if they have a violation of restraining order in five years, or three or more warrants for failing to appear in court in the past year. of course, all of that can be thrown out by a judge. that concerns the aclu. >> those low, medium, high risk scores they're going give out, there is no transparency to see how those are made, and judges beyond getting those scores can have wide latitude to change their minds or to deviate from those scores. >> some people we talked with told us just because you're wealthy shouldn't give you an easier path to get out of jail. >> it depends on what he did, the severity of his case. if he is out here killing people and stuff like that, keep him in. if he is out here raping, keep him in. >> but others are opposed to the new idea. >> everybody has the right to show up to their court date. >> rob mcmillan, abc 7 news. today a federal judge in d.c. delayed the start of former trump campaign chairman paul

mccain's death, a special election won't be held this year. in 2020, voters wil get to choose who will serve the remaining two years of john mccain's term. thousands of people waited in long lines today to pay their final respects to aretha franklin. she is lying in repose of the charles wright museum of african american history in her hometown of detroit. mourners quietly passed franklin's open casket, many pausing for a minute to offer a prayer. franklin died of pancreatic cancer on august 16th at the age of 76. her funeral is scheduled for saturday. here is the latest on the california wildfires. the ranch fire, the largest of the mendocino fire complex incident has burned 410,000 acres. it's now 90% contained. the carr fire near redding is at near 96% contained and the hirz fire has burned 30,000 acres in three weeks. that's 31% contained.

lawmakers are looking for ways to help more homeowners obtain fire insurance as rates skyrocket. insurance commissioner dave jones said today the state is headed for a crisis. jones proposed a number of fixes, including one that would mandate insurance companies offer fire insurance for homeowners who comply with an established set of fire safety standards. >> some areas of california, some insurers are saying it's just too risky to write home insurance for homes in those areas. >> the state currently offers fire insurance policies, but they're significantly more expensive than ones from the private sector. hard work doesn't always seem to pay off, at least that's one of the takeaway from a new survey studying california workers and the american dream. the survey was conduct bade nonprofit, nonpartisan organization called prri. most californians say the american dream is harder to achieve here than other states. almost half say they struggle with poverty. here in the bay area that number

drops in half to the lowest level of any major area polled. you can see the different colored areas on the map here. just 27% of workers in the bay area say they struggle with poverty. another survey gives us some insight about why. according to the newly released salary guides, the percentage of san francisco workers who think they're underpaid is less than the national average at 39%, and a percentage of local workers who say they're paid fairly is higher than the national average at 56%. 5% believe they're overpaid. that's the same response given nationwide. all right. coming up here, an s.a.t. alert. if the student took the college test last weekend, there is a chance they may have to retake it. >> and they're understandably furious. also ahead -- >> kids now have some high-tech motivation to do t

accessible to all. most students saw it as a practice test. but the question remains how could the college board mistakenly hand out the same test? here's their. the if we determine students have gained an unfair advantage we will take appropriate actions, including cancelling test scores. the test lasts about three hours, and most kids take it several times. so you can imagine that many students are concerned they may have to take it again. through no fault of their own. >> i cannot see that happening. it would be a public relations disaster, and lives would literally be ruined. >> what the college board will do now is conduct a statistical analysis of certain test scores, meaning if your test scores went up dramatically on this past s.a.t. test, they could invalidate. >> just hoping that it doesn't get canceled. hoping for the best right now. >> today the college board said scores will be out on september

her $20 investment has grown to $25. >> over time, you earn the money if the stock goes up. and if you lose some, i guess you get less money. >> dad says the app doesn't respond to commands as fast as he'd like, but overall it's a great motivator for kids. >> what we like about it is the aspect of the financial education for our kids. that's something that the school doesn't really teach about. >> you bet they don't. busy kid charges an annual fee of $14.95 per family. there is also a $5 fee for each debit card. very affordable. i want to hear from you, the 7 on your side hotline is open weekdays from 10:00 to 2:00. my 'nam is >> that's pretty clever. >> use app. don't withhold dinner. got it. thanks, michael. >> thanks, michael, very much.
