being held in a rome prison. i-team reporter dan noyes has the latest developments in the case. >> reporter: family members visited both teens in the prison in central rome. i am told leila finn traveled to visit him for the first time since he was charged with stabbing to death. he is being held as a possible accessory to murder. italian prosecutors say the teens were looking to buy cocaine in the early morning of july 26th, and when undercover officers interviewed they took what police called a pusher's backpack to the meridian hotel where they were staying. when the so-called pusher called his phone in the backpack, the boys answered and demanded 100 euro and a gram of cocaine for its return. you could hear the backpack owner calling for help to retrieve his property. undercover officers responded and confronted the teens who

said after they didn't know the men were police officers. prosecutors say finn elder admitted stabbing the police officer with a marine-style knife and gabe natalia fought him off and ran away. >> at the news conference, the commander said he couldn't fire his weapon at the suspect running away because it would violate policy and he was busy helping his wounded colleague. now, it is reported he changed his account in the deposition, admitting both of them did not have service weapons, handcuffs or police identification and they were wearing bermuda shorts and tee shirts at the time. finn elder's attorney in rome tells abc news that the admissions bolster the teens' statement they didn't know the officers were police and they call into question tain witness. >> the public has an incomplete account of the true versions of events. it is said however the truth will set you free. >> reporter: new images from

leigh an melendez. >> reporter: over the next five years all tolls will be transitioned to electronic tolls. this device is attached to my personal credit card, so i know it is the year 2019, but let's face it, not everyone has a credit card. the golden gate bridge transitioned to all electronic tolling in 2013. we wanted to find out how it is working there. >> if you do not have a fast track and you cross the bridge, you will receive an invoice by mail to the registered address for the vehicle. one of our viewers, kendra thompson, asked on our "abc 7 news" facebook page, what about people who rent cars visiting from out of state? i personally went to a car rental company to find out what their policy was. okay. so i found out that the big rental companies do have a tolling program, but it comes with a fee. so in this case if you just drive through, you would pay a

$3.95 surcharge toll. as the district told us, there are cheaper options. >> you can do it online. you can pay by phone. >> reporter: another viewer, andrea takamoto asked, what about the people who work in the toll booths? are they going to be out of work? the short answer is they will have other jobs like toll takers at the golden gate bridge. the bay area toll authority estimates with the new system they will speed up time at all of their seven bridges by three to seven minutes. the golden gate bridge saw immediate results. before cashless tolling, 500 vehicles per lane per hour moved through the plaza. after cashless tolling, that number went up to 1,500 per lane every hour. isn't that what we all want, a seamless commute? in san francisco, leigh an melendez, "abc 7 news". we want to hear your ideas about building a better bay

dry cold front moving through the northern part of the state. when we get behind that, that is going to allow for the gusty winds. right now temperatures are cool up north, in the low to mid 50s. 53 in cloverdale. good morning, santa rosa, 55 for you. it is in the 60s in the east bay. 62, concord. oakland at 63. 61 in san jose. so looking at the visibility reduced one to three miles from santa rosa to petaluma. elsewhere looking pretty good, but high and mid level clouds will be with us throughout the day as we go through the afternoon. at 3:00 we certainly clear out. you can see the sunshine in the north bay, but holding on to some clouds around the bay, and certainly looking at the northwesterly winds coming into play. by tomorrow, bright sunshine and a calmer afternoon ahead. so looking at some of our highlights this morning, the cloudy skies, maybe patchy drizzle. it will be cool for summer standards with the gusty winds and another warm day. i should say a warmer day tomorrow, on sunday. here is a look at what you can expect throughout the afternoon. 7:00 we're pretty calm.

warmer weather by middle of next week. 73 today in oakland. look for mid 60s, kind of windy, in fact pretty windy along the coast. 80 in concord. 79, livermore. certainly cool for this time of year. here is a look at hurricane dorian, continuing to churn up the eastern seaboard with winds of 85 miles per hour. it is a category 1 and spreading lots of rain along new england into nova scotia, winds up to 50 miles per hour and finally becoming a strong post-tropical low allowing for a weakening. 60s on the coast, 70s around the bay with low 80s the accuweather apple allow y w you to track the temperature. it is still comfortable at the coast. >> this is what i was telling people last night. we were in hayes valley and they were saying, it is so cold, we missed it, there will be no summer. it is clearly coming. >> you got that. >> thank you, lisa.

rosa. looking at lower 60s in oakland. 62, concord. fremont at 61, and morgan hill is at 60 right now. so looking at the visibility with the fog all the way into the east bay, not quite through concord but you can see it is on the way there. one to three miles from santa rosa to petaluma this morning. then mid morning we still are hanging on to the clouds. it is going to take through the afternoon, but that cold front is going to scour the clouds out, allowing for the northwesterly winds, keeping it breezy to gusty around the bay today. winds anywhere from 20, some 30-mile-per-hour gusts eend higher than that. by tomorrow looking at more sun and less wind out there, so as a result we will warm up about five degrees for your sunday afternoon. here is a look at the wind profile throughout the morning hours. it is light except in the upper elevations. throughout the afternoon or 3:00, you can see the wind is up to 22 miles per hour in san rafael. it gets even windier through the rest of the day. here is the evening with wind

accomplishments by watching little kids trying to tear up a playground. >> it is just cute life. they're so cute. >> reporter: they're unaware based on the signage that jim roberts is a napa treasure. >> were you honored? >> i guess. that's pretty nice. >> reporter: you're looking at the volunteer most responsible for building this playground, and after construction concludes across town -- you know, there's so much room in the front, i guess they will have more stuff later. >> reporter: 72 playgrounds. >> that guy, he doesn't have a bad bone in his body. >> reporter: not even after 92 years. >> it is crazy. i thought we would do one playground, and next month we were doing another one and next month another. >> reporter: but who is counting. >> yes, i love it. >> reporter: it is not like he went looking for playgrounds. in 1998 a little girl in napa fell off a play structure, got a concussion. it didn't sit right with jim. he said it wasn't going to happen. >> it shouldn't happen. a playground should be not only fun by safe and this was not

safe. >> reporter: and so began jim's campaign with the kiwanis club to bring in volunteers to cut down the cost of building labor. jim's home is his office, surrounded by pictures of his high school sweetheart and wife with whom he raised four children. >> reporter: what makes him go? >> life. he's a happy man. >> reporter: and forever young at heart it seems. >> i used to do the building, now i do the managing. >> reporter: when volunteers arrive they won't just be building a playground, they will be working with a force of nature, one man making a difference, leaving a legacy to future generations. >> i didn't know growing old at 92 would be -- make me a legend. that's funny. >> reporter: it is also priceless. in napa, wayne freedman, "abc 7 news". way to go, jim. we want to hear your ideas about building a better bay area. share them by joining our facebook group, better bay area. next year on "abc7 mornings," a celebration now in
