peace movement. >> six weeks after his arrival he and some ship mates asked for leave and took a train and saw nagasaki. it changed his perception of war, you know, the war where everybody went out and said, "oh, we're fighting the nazis," and then he saw what it looks like when a city has disappeared, when 70,000 people died. in that instant, that's when he became a passivist in so many different ways, as a poet, as a publisher, as a painter. all of his life to this day he really wants peace. >> the lawrence ferlinghetti photos will be on exhibit at the harvey milk photo center through september 14th. admission to see them is free. stargazers will want to head outdoors this weekend to watch the meteor shower. it will peak between tomorrow

san francisco is currently 61, but check out san jose. it is already 69 degrees. i want to show you another live shot, this one as we look from mount tam. you see some of the clouds breaking through right now, so we are seeing some clearing in the inland areas and parts of the south bay. temperatures are mostly in the 60s except for the north bay. in santa rosa we had temperatures drop down into the 50s, but look at that. concord, 68. livermore, 66. at 9:00 we are still seeing lots of extensive cloud cover over parts of the bay and you see the system possibly bringing the threat of light showers to our north, but for us we should be mostly dry. then by this afternoon, mostly clear. sunny except along the beaches, and then temperatures will be on the mild side. as the system kicks east, we have high pressure building tomorrow and that will really change our temperatures. highs today will be near normal in san jose, 80 degrees, with

some high clouds passing through for the san jose jazz festival. then there's the menlo horse show where temperatures will hit 75 this afternoon. breezy at the coast. if you are heading to the outside lands festival, 63 degrees, so i would still have a light jacket. downtown san francisco, 66, with more sunshine. lots of upper 70s through the north bay. petaluma and novato, san rafael at 78. near 80 in cloverdale and ukiah. you see the high clouds passing through as well throughout the day. in the east bay, look for mild numbers in the 70s. berkley, 74. oakland, 72. fremont, thecobl mild temperatures in the interior on because this is where we will see things really heat up over the next few days starting next week, and look for san ramon to hit 81. the warmest spot will be about brentwood, 85 degrees. now tomorrow as high pressure builds, we will see the low 90s inland. lots of upper 70s, near 80 around the bay.

check out monday. we are getting near triple digit heat in some inland areas and it will be a gorgeous day as well as the beaches. san francisco, maybe 69 degrees. some upper 90s for the inland areas and every some 80s around the bay. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. partly cloudy, mild today. tomorrow, brighter and waermer and the summer heat is on monday, especially in the inland areas. it still will be mild to hot on tuesday, so the warming trend continues through monday and tuesday and the heat moderates on wednesday. we have another trough moving in and so temperatures will start to drop for the end of the week. overall, a pleasant day, but tomorrow get ready for the warm. >> get ready for it. thanks, frances. just ahead, the new crime fighter who works best with his mouth full.

walking distance, close to the ski lifts. very nice on the inside. like our two families could hang out and cook dinner. >> the price on airbnb, just $49 a night. that's a bargain during the holidays, $449 a night. >> i contacted the host, is this the right rate. we immediately got a confirmation, you're book. >> great. mark paid the deposit, bought four airline tickets and their holiday plans were set. or were they? >> two months later i receive an e-mail saying basically your reservation has been cancelled. >> out of the blue the airbnb host cancelled the booking, refunded his money, no explanation. a mystery until mark checked the listing. >> more than double, far more than double. >> mark booked the place for $4,100. now the host was asking for $13,000 for that week, $9,000 more. >> i couldn't believe it. i mean i just thought if you have a reservation, that reservation means reservation. >> airbnb told mark it wasn't

the host's fault. an airbnb computer glitch listed the wrong rate. airbnb tried to find mark a similar booking but park city at christmas is pricing. >> now i'm stuck. i had a place, i don't have it anymore. i'm stuck with the airline tickets. >> reporter: mark said he grew up watching "7 on your side" so he reached out to me. we contacted airbnb, and the company came back with a nice surprise. >> we're going to park city for christmas. >> airbnb agreed to pay the $9,000 difference in the rate, so the families can stay in the townhouse after all. airbnb says, we strive to provide exceptional support for our community and are constantly working to ensure technical errors remain rare. we hope he and his family enjoy their vacation. >> thank you so much. i can't thank you enough. >> so does a business have to honor a low price listed by mistakes? no, not as long as it is an honest mistake. so i would like to really thank airbnb for stepping up.

it has already brought two families some holiday joy. i'm michael finney, "7 on your side". a bay area police force is counting on a new member to help keep officers and the public safe from gun violence. his name is tex. as you will see in the demonstration at the south san francisco police department, he is trained for a specific purpose. officers say tex can sniff out firearms even when they're well hidden inside of a home or aer ka. they believe his ability to locate unseen weapons could save lives in situations ranging from traffic stops to search warrants and even pursuits. >> so a lot of times if we do encounter an armed subject they will run, and a lot of times they will discard their firearm. so if we were to encounter that, you know, it would take officers an our or two to search a fielder, but it will take sex a third of the time to search that field for the gun. >> officers say tex is the first trained firearms dog to be deployed by a police department in san mateo county. still to come on "abc7 mornings," after weeks of

i'm not sure if antonio brown is as bizarre as he seems or just really doesn't want to be in training camp, but the latest news is weirder than frost bitten feet from cryotherapy. brown is fighting with the nfl and says he won't play unless he can wear his old helmet. now, the nfl is forcing all players to wear newer, safer helmets but brown doesn't like them because he says he doesn't see the ball as well. an arbitrator is expected to rule on the helmet issue next week, but jon gruden has to be wondering what he signed up for when the raiders signed a.b. football camp used to mean unbearable heat. now at cal you have slip and ay 75 ft sloshing. old school coaches like bilparc thiswondering,has going on in the sport these at cal. good times during your weekend. that's the wrap on morning sports. enjoy your weekend, everybody.

did you know that between 2017 and 2018 vaping has jumped by almost 80% among high-schoolers and by almost 50% among middle-school kids? today we're focusing the "california spotlight" on a very important topic -- the epidemic of teen vaping. joining me today to help give us more of an insight and information is dr. pam ling. thanks so much for joining us, dr. ling, and sitting down with me today. dr. ling, this is really alarming. after years of decline, teenage use of tobacco products has spiked. and in the last year, the u.s. surgeon general is saying that vaping is now a youth epidemic? >> that's right. the u.s. surgeon general has called the vaping increase an epidemic among youth and is really calling upon parents and teachers and health professionals and others who care about kids to really take action on this epidemic. >> wow. okay. so, help us understand the danger. what is an e-cigarette? what does it look like? and how are our kids getting their hands on them? >> yeah, so, e-cigarettes are

devices that heat a liquid that contains nicotine into an aerosol. and the aerosol is inhaled. so, they often contain a battery, a heat source, and then these days mostly a little pod that contains nicotine liquid. >> so, give the stats. >> well, tobacco use among youth has been going up, we think driven by the vaping epidemic. so, young people in 2018 -- about 4.9 million young people were using tobacco products, and that's up from 3.6 million in 2017. >> tell me more about the effects. >> teen brains are actually quite vulnerable to addiction because the brain is still developing until you're 25 years old. in addition to addiction, nicotine can increase other effects, like anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and learning difficulties. >> so, how did this become a youth epidemic? >> young people are really attracted to these products for a couple of reasons. first of all, the products look

cool. a lot of the new ones look like electronic devices or school supplies, so they spark curiosity. second, the products come in interesting flavors. so, four out of five teens say they started vaping because they were curious about the flavors. and then finally, the products contain a lot of nicotine. this contains the nicotine. >> how much nicotine is in that? >> this has the same nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. >> an entire pack. and how much -- how long will that last you if you're vaping? >> if you're vaping, it can last up to a day. >> okay. >> we do have some teens that use two of these a day. >> wow! >> that's like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. so, while a teenager is just experimenting with the flavors, they may not realize they're actually being exposed to large amounts of nicotine and their brain is getting addicted. >> so, that leads me to my next question, then. why are kids at greater risk of nicotine's harm? >> yeah, well, nicotine is a neurotoxin that kind of hijacks the learning mechanisms in a teen's brain. so, every time you gain a new skill or learn a new fact --

and, you know, teenagers are, you know, in school because your brains are really set for learning -- all of the things that make it easy for teenagers to develop new connections in the brain and synapses, which is learning, also makes it more vulnerable to nicotine, again, developing synapses and creating an addiction. >> there's a lot of really important information for us to digest here, dr. ling. >> it sure is. luckily, there's a website that contains more information. so, if you want to learn more about vaping or you want to see what the products look like or you want to learn how to take action, either in your school or in your community, about this problem, you can go to flavorshookkids.org and learn about it. >> thank you so much. remind us of that website again. >> it's flavorshookkids.org. >> flavorshookkids.org. dr. ling, thank you so much for joining us. if you'd like more information on anything we've discussed in today's "california spotlight," go to flavorshookkids.org. thank you again. >> absolutely.
