>> sherman come from the seahawks. that makes the rivalry even hotter. so tonight it's going to be hot. it's hot tonight. >> hot tonight. 49ers fans pumped up and ready for tonight's showdown against the rival seattle seahawks, likely the biggest game the team have ever played in levi's stadium since it moved in five seasons ago now. >> good afternoon and thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. let's get right to abc7 news fo. hey, larry. >> hey, dan, ama, i like that guy. it's going to be hot. it's actually feeling pretty warm here. it's going to heat up a lot more in about an hour or so.exciteme anticipation. you can feel it as we were driving in through the parking lot. i mean, a sea of red and gold. everybody pumped up. they're high-fiving, they're playing their music. they're enjoying some pregame beverages as well. i had a chance a few minutes ago to talk with steve young about the hot start for this team,

8-0, facing a division rival, an archrival in the seattle seahawks. and this is a situation, frankly, that is new for this team. >> this is a team kind of like the '11-'12 team that came out of nowhere in people's minds, but was building a great locker room. this locker room is pretty good. they've got good leadership and they work well together. they've been tested through a couple of tough seasons. i think it's like that '11-'12 team that wow, these guys are really good. i think they are good, and i think they're going to transition to being the hunted pretty seamlessly in my mind. i don't think there is a big fear of that in my head that they're not ready for prime time, that kind of thing. >> you mentioed garoppolo. even just a couple of weeks ago, i had people asking me and maybe they were asking you. was it really worth all that money? is he the franchise quarterback? if you had to rate his performance this season on a 1 to 10, where would you put him? >> a solid. a solid 7.

a solid grade. and they have not asked him to go a little built last week, but it hasn't been on his shoulders. we're not rushing the passer today and our running game is not working, go win us the game. they haven't asked him to do that. so he has been doing his job and doing it really well. we can't complain when things are working, and you're running the football and playing great defense there will be a time at some point where he's going have to go do that, that magic stuff that russell does all the time, aaron rodgers does. and people will always leave a stratus for people who can't do that who can play great football, but can't do that magical stuff. and as we watch for that, people are complaining. your complaints are falling on deaf ears today. >> it could get a lot worse. you could be a jets fan or a giants fan or a lot of other teams that need quarterbacks. >> monday night, honestly, as long as i live, it will be

recreating those moments and that feeling in candlestick on a monday night. we tell people now because the stadium is gone. people who never got to experience that, when we played l.a., beat l.a. they would be stomping on it. we'd be underneath the old stadium and you could hear. the thing would be moving, and you could feel the stadium move with the adrenaline and the energy. and so monday night games at home through those years, holy cow. i mean, just a rush of memories. jerry rice, the raiders taking the record. oh, my gosh, i -- i wish i was back there. good times. >> hopefully this place rocks tonight like candlestick did years ago. >> it needs it. it needs kind of a definitive game to anchor all the fans and everybody. we're all human nature, and we need those collective moments together where we go oh, my gosh, were you there, you know. and tonight's one of those times that could happen like that. >> hopefully we'll have one of

those moments tonight. and jimmy g will have one of those defining plays where we look back years from now and say we were here the night they beat the seahawks. one concern for jimmy g, will not have his star tight end george kittle ribble to him. he is nursing knee and ankle injuries. talking with him a few weeks ago it's got to be killing him, just killing him not to be able to play in a game of this magnitude tonight. and robbie gould, the niners kicker is out as well with an injury, a quad i believe. the niners will have a new kicker tonight. we'll talk more than as we continue counting down to kick off here live at levi's stadium at the top of the hour. for now, let's go back to the studio, dan and ama. >> larry, thank you. sky 7 flew over levi's stadium earlier today. you see the espn crews setting up the broadcast booth for tonight's game. we talked to fans of both teams, including one who is a veteran. >> i trust veterans day months and months ago because it had to be seattle.

it had to be 49ers. it had to be in san francisco. everyone lined up. it was like the stars aligned. >> it's going to be a great game. i think the seahawks are definitely going to win. it's going to be a close game, but it's going to be good. >> all fans in attendance will be given a salute to service rally towel, and there will be a veterans day tribute before the game. espn's monday night football coverage begins at 5:00 right here on abc7. >> here is a live picture of levi's stadium where it's all going to happen here pretty soon. the undefeated 49ers getting ready for the huge game against the seahawks. still not that many people in the stands. kickoff is still a little while away, but it's going to be packed, obviously. this is undoubtedly the biggest game for the 49ers at levi's stadium since they played the seahawks on thanksgiving in 2014. the year the stadium opened. both teams had 7-4 records heading into that game, which seattle ended up winning thanks to then seahawk turned 49er richard sherman, who intercepted two colin kaepernick passes.

the loss prompted the beginning of a tough stretch for the niners that saw them lose 51 of the next 69 games through last season. so they've been really on a tough streak. that's all history now with san francisco being the nfl's alone unbeaten team. what a turnaround and story it is this season, right? >> absolutely. it's been incredible. so let's get a quick check on the gametime weather. >> spencer christian tracking that for us at kickoff. spencer? [ audio difficulties ] >> we want to be able to hear you, spencer, so we'll get back to you in a bit. for now, we want to hear you about a family that is outraged after a father of six was shot and killed by an offduty richmond police officer. it happened at a vallejo gas station last night not far from six flags discovery kingdom. abc7 news laura anthony is live at the scene. laura, have police released any new details about what led to the shooting? >> no, really very few details.

this is where this shooting happened less than 24 hours ago in this parking lot behind me at this valero gas station. witnesses say it actually started with a dispute between two men over a parking spot. >> this is so devastating. we're not doing good enough. >> reporter: stephanie bass says her son eric reason didn't deserve what happened to him in the parking lot of a vallejo gas station sunday night. reason was shot and killed by an offduty richmond police officer. >> i just want justice. i want to find out what happened, you know, what happened that he deserved to be shot down like that. >> reporter: shown here in a facebook photo, the 38-year-old reason reportedly had some kind of confrontation with the offduty officer, identified by the east bay times as sergeant virgil thomas, a dispute that ended in gunfire. >> and there was a tall african american gentleman standing there with a gun in his hand and another african american gentleman on the ground, on the street. and i was like what the hell is

going on? because this guy is still standing there with a gun, and he is i'm an officer. i'm off-duty. >> reporter: police reportedly found at least two guns at the scene. according to court documents, thomas was the object of a federal civil rights complaint, accused of using excessive force and depriving a man of medical care during a 2005 incident at a richmond gas station. the case was later settled. >> bind this community together. don't let his death be in vain, oh god. >> reporter: today family and friends of reason gathered at the shooting season. reason is the father of six children, a local rapper who works in local construction. stephanie bass believes her son must not have known thomas was a police officer. >> but i really believe if he would have said that he was a police officer, that my son would have not been arguing back or something. >> reporter: now the owner of the food shop here did tell me that they did catch this incident on their surveillance system, but that that video has been turned over to

investigators. richmond police did determine it was their officer offduty that was involved, that there would be an internal review. the vallejo police are giving out very few details except to say they are investigating along with the solano county district attorney's office. live in vallejo, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> okay, laura, thank you. we learn too a body found on a san francisco golf course is that of an infant. police released new information on the case today. they say they're concerned about the health of the child's mother, and police are asking anyone with information to give them a call. the body was discovered on a saturday on lincoln park golf course. police considered the death of course suspicious. drivers in the south bay can expect a major crimp in the evening commute along the stretch of 101. here is why. sky 7 shows us an overturned tanker truck that's leaking fuel on southbound 101 at maston avenue in gilroy. all southbound lanes are closed and they're not expected to

reopen until 7:00 tonight. they're stabilizing the tanker and will have to remove all the fuel before the lanes can reopen. bart has apologized to the man who was detained last week for eating a breakfast sandwich on the platform at pleasant hill contra costa center station. we showed you the video. the man involved spoke today with abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez and told her the police officer could have hand. ed it differently. >> just about everyone has seen this video taken last week at the bart pleasant hill station. steve foster of concord was stopped by a bart officer identified as d. mccormick for eating on the platform. bart says it's not allowed because it wants to keep the system safe and clean. >> it would have been simple if he went up to me and hey, you can't eat on bart, nor on the platform, and i would have been informed. i didn't the platform. >> a statement written by bart general manager bob powers points out the officer did warn him. quote, when the officer walked by again and still saw him eating, he moved forward with

the process of issuing him a citation. foster says that's not what happened. >> he never walked past me. i was at the end of the platform, so it was impossible for him to walk past me. he came straight to me from the escalator from me here. i watched him come up the escalator and make a beeline to me. >> when foster refused to show him his idea, foster grabbed his bag and would not let go. >> he admitted he said alleged homophobic slurs. >> i said everything i said and don't regret none of it. >> foster's girlfriend was the person who took the cell phone video. >> when he was grabbing him and four or six officers came running up about a sandwich, i was nervous. when they turned around and grabbed him and put him in handcuffs, i was nervous. >> granted, i don't take bart that often, but if i were coming through here in a hurry, i would probably miss this sign that says among so many other things, no eating, no drinking. but during the time we were

there, we saw many infractions like people taking their bicycles on the escalator, going past the fare gates without paying, and yes, drinking on the platform. none of them were stopped or cited. bart issued an apology today. i'm disappointed how the situation unfolded. i apologize to mr. foster. our riders, employees, and the public who have had an emotional reaction to the video. foster says he doesn't accept bart's apology and is considering taking legal action against the transit agency. >> and we just got this statement from the bart police officers association. it reads in part foster's activity caused the situation to escalate and his refusal to simply stop his illegal conduct was the root cause of this entire situation. the desire by some to focus on the race of the parties and not the conduct of foster is disappointing. now they go on to say on behalf of the members of the bart

police officers association, i make no apologies for our officers' conduct in the matter. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> all right, lyanne, thank you. refusing to stay silent. a terrible attack in san francisco's chinatown has some people speaking out for the very first time. also, pg&e's bankruptcy plan. it could see some big changes. and honoring our heroes. it's veterans day, and

it takes a village to raise to build a bridge. to throw a baseball... to throw yourself into the unknown. to lose fear, to create hope. we believe that it takes a village of over 200-thousand dedicated, passionate, driven medical and non-medical professionals to deliver on our belief in total health for all. we are kaiser permanente. thrive. a new lawsuit could dramatically impact pg&e's bankruptcy case. according to bloomberg news, a group of wildfire victims have

filed suit, argui under california law they must be fully repaid for their losses before fire insurers. the case takes aim at an $11 billion settlement agreement between the utility, shareholders and insurance companies that would pay fire victims less. pg&e filed for bankruptcy last january. the brutal attack on three elderly men in san francisco's chinatown is prompting community members to speak out, some for the very first time. abc7 news anchor dion lim explains that the effort to make change goes far beyond the city limits. >> seeing it happen to someone else, you know, really made me realize how much we need to shed light on it and speak up. >> the video is hard to watch. seniors in chinatown's portsmouth square are beaten and knock odd to the ground over an attempted robbery over the weekend. >> it's disgusting. >> it's the kind of attack that seems to be happening all too often. just this past summer two

seniors were viciously assaulted while crossing a street in broad daylight. community leaders whose organization offered up a $25,000 reward in that case say there needs to be more law enforcement presence and the installation of emergency call box stations. >> it's not only in chinatown. >> reporter: in a community not known for speaking out, this woman, who doesn't want to reveal her name or identity is coming forward with what happened to her father just weeks earlier. >> he had a gun pointed at him, pistol-whipped, told him i'm going to shoot you. the one in the blue holding him down, yanking him. they punched him. >> her father, who lives in san francisco, decided to open up his parking lot business in the central valley to escape the crimes of the big city. >> you see there is a trend. >> back at portsmouth square, another speaking out with no words. a silent protest led by the granddaughter of a nearly 90-year-old woman who was brutally beaten and left for dead in visitacion valley earlier this year. both have a strong message with

or without words. >> it could be anybody's dad, you know? speak up. >> we reached out to sfpd, but have not heard back. in san francisco, dion lim, abc7 news. >> awful. >> tough to watch that. all right. let's turn our attention to the start of another week. >> it's still a little hazy out there, spencer. >> just a tad. there are still fires burning to our north, and some of that smoke and particulate matter continue to push down into the bay area, and we've got fog that is slow to burn off. still a little hazy. live doppler 7 we have high clouds moving in right now. this is the view from sutro tower looking over san francisco. and temperature readings are rather uniform. low to mid-70s right now in san francisco, oakland and redwood city. 59 at half moon bay. check out the soon to be setting sun. what a beautiful view from emeryville. the sun will set in about 40 minutes from. now 77 right now in santa rosa. 78 in petaluma. 78 also upper 70s, i should say, at fairfield, concord and

livermore. and the view at the golden gate is fairly bright, but again, high clouds are passing through with that pattern and the pattern will continue overnight. we'll see some fog developing along the coast overnight or near the bay as well with high clouds passing over. another mild day is coming our way tomorrow. and it will be cooler and cloudier beginning around the middle of the week and continuing through friday, as a matter of fact. let's talk about the all important weather down at levi's stadium this evening for the niners big game against the seattle seahawks. game time 5:15. it will be about 72 degrees on their clear skies. but later in the evening as the sun sets, it will get relatively cool, not that anyone cares because the game will be exciting enough to warm you up. here is our forecast animation starting 9:00 tonight. you'll see fog near the coast. maybe a patch or two over the bay. and again, waves of high clouds will pass over. but generally, we expect a clear day tomorrow. mainly sunny skies. the fog will probably linger near the coast a little bit into the midday hours and burn away.

on we go. tonight's overnight conditions, low temperatures mainly in the upper 40s to low 50s. it will be relatively mild. again, foggy at the coast and high clouds inland and over the bay. tomorrow's highs will range from mid-60s, lower mid-60s at the coast to low and mid-70s around the but shoreline. mainly upper 70s inland. possible one were to locations will top out at 80 degrees. we're talking about air quality earlier. we'll have just moderate air quality in most bay area locations tomorrow. there is particulate matter still in the atmosphere, but not enough to move it into the unhealthful range. on we go to wednesday. pretty much the same temperature range as tomorrow in our inland areas. probably slightly cooler, though, near the coast and bay. cooler everywhere on thursday as the clouds thicken and a hint, just a hint of some light rain to our north. it's not likely to make into it our bay area. here we go. the accuweather seven-day forecast. bright skies tomorrow and wednesday under relatively mild conditions. although some cooling will begin on wednesda. it will be much cooler on

thursday or friday as the clouds are thicker, and then it will start to warm up again over the weekend with temperatures warming back into the low to mid-70s around the bay and inland. but thursday, that's a day we'll probably see some rain to our north up in the pacific northwest, washington state and oregon. it's possible that fall in the north part. >> a whole 100th. >> the giants get a new gm. he is only 32, but he says he is ready to turn the team around. plus, raising the roof in petaluma. an ordinary project takes on a lot of significance for the people living inside. hey, dan, hey, ama. russell wilson just came out. he is behind a couple of cameramen there. but a chorus of boos as he took the field for warm-ups. how is this for a stat? the 49ers have 49 wins on monday night football.

that's the most in nfl history. 50 would give them a 9-0 record this season and a three-game lead over the seahawks. i happened to catch jimmy garoppolo as he was warming up a few minutes ago. fans started screaming "jimmy g, jimmy g." he kind of sheepishly grinned. he was embarrassed. he smiled and acknowledged the fans. the niners hope he is smiling in about four hours from now. moreboos as the

shouldn't mean a change in standards. that's why - thanks to you - we're rated number one in customer satisfaction by j.d. power.

a salute to service today at the south bay. abc7 news was in san jose as the city held its annual parade downtown. people lined santa clara street to watch a colorful display of patriotism. there were motorcycles, groups wearing vintage military gear and classic vehicles as well. the parade is one of the city's oldest traditions, and it is also one of the largest in northern california. we saw veterans day tradition today in el cerrito. a couple of dozen youth groups got up early to place flags on graves at el cerrito lions club. businesses in sonoma county teamed up to honor veterans in a

very practical way. the group led by rebuilding together petaluma came together to put a new roof on the rocca house. the home provides a sober living environment for previously homeless vets in the petaluma area, but it was badly in need of repairs. >> it provides us with a safe, clean environment to get on with our lives that we've struggled with, with ptsd. most of us are combat vets, bring us back into the community, bring us back into life. >> so we pulled together my supplier from abc santa rosa and gaffe corporation and got them to donate the material, and we paid for the labor, and we put the roof on at no charge. >> it was a tremendous gift. we absolutely could not do what we do without the support of the community. >> rebuilding together petaluma estimates nearly half a dozen businesses, including painters and flooring contractors jumped in, joining a small army of volunteers to complete the upgrades. the giants say they expect

to finalize their search for a manager this week as they introduce their new general manager. it's a homecoming for 32-year-old scott harris, who grew up in redwood city. he spent the past seven years with the chicago cubs, including the last two as assistant general manager. while he was there, the cubs went from a sub .500 team to winning the world series in 2016. harris says a turnaround for the giants can happen just as fast. >> that's certainly the goal for us, and we're going to try to compete as much as possible on and off the field to put us in a position to transform like we did in chicago. >> on the manager front, the giants have reportedly narrowed it down to a final two -- three to replace bruce bochy. gabe kapler, astros bench coach joe espada and rays bench coach matt potrero. >> talk about big shoes to fill. from long shot prosecutor. coming up next, if people were denitelyou wit y.ne

district attorney. chesa boudin declared victory saturday night after four days of ballot counting determined he was ahead of suzy loftus. kate larsen spoke to boudin today about his plans to overhaul the city's criminal justice system. >> i've compassion for everybody caught up in the criminal justice system. >> san francisco's newly elected district attorney chesa boudin says that compassion extends to those arrested, charged with, and convicted of crimes. >> 75% of the people entering san francisco county jail are drug addicted, mentally ill, or both. until we make it easier to get help than it is to get high in san francisco, it doesn't matter how tough we are. we're going have the same problems. >> as top prosecutor, he wants to institute a program similar to the one he did at the san francisco prosecutors office where they interview people as soon as they get arrested. >> get better information before we file charges that informs whether we file charges, what charges we file, and what kind of supervision we think someone needs to avoid getting arrested again. >> as for the quality of life crimes that plague city streets,

boudin wants sfpd to use more sophisticated policing to make arrests and take down car burglary rings. >> they're not going to just get tourists or back packs. they might get a police tracking twice. >> can you tell what folks might expect from your d.a.'s office? >> absolutely. my victim services unit will call and reach out to every victim of every crime within 48 hours of filing a new case. >> boudin would like to reduce the prison population and spend more time prosecuting serious and violent crimes rather than misdemeanors, but he needs to start by working with the powers that be. mayor london breed endorsed his opponent suzy loftus and the sfpd union has called his ideas dangerous. >> everyone wants it to be a safer city, wants it to be a more livable city. and we have disagreements about how we get there. my idea is to identify common ground, bring people together around common solutions. aut transition,

which could take place when his term begins in january or sooner if mayor breed appoints an interim d.a.kate larsen, abc7 n >> we'll see if that happens. joining us now is long-time "san francisco chronicle" columnist phil matier. great to have you with us. what do you think boudin's victory could mean for san francisco ultimately? he has a lot of big talk about reform partying the system ultimately. >> he does. he is a child of the radical '60s. his parents were in fact members of the weather underground who participated in a bank robbery in 1981 that wound up putting them in prison. as a matter of fact, his father is still in prison, and he was there in prison with his father back in new york saturday when the election returns came in showing that he was ahead. >> it's fascinating, because he didn't come from a law and order background on this. >> at all. and he was a public defender most recently. so he is sort of the complete opposite of what you usually find sitting in that job. but the challenges of that job remain. and as you just said in that piece, i'd like to play it

again, when asked about one of the biggest challenges facing san francisco. let's take a listen. >> 75% of the people entering san francisco county jail are drug addicted, mentally ill, or both. until we make it easier to get help than it is to get high in san francisco, it doesn't matter how tough we are, we're going have the same problems. >> sure. >> the idea we don't want to put people in jail for crimes or things that necessarily could be health issues like drug use and such, mental health. but what's the alternative? now he is the law enforcement person. he is not the head of director of health. and as much as he would like to be that as the model, the fact is it's going to come home and roost on him. >> right. >> and so are property crimes. san francisco number one in the nation of big cities in terms of big cities of auto break-ins. 60 to 70 a day. he wants to concentrate on the gangs that are behind it. he wants to put the organizers qst whether it work. he is going to be taking a theory that he's told the voters

he can make work, which is less incarceration, more deterrents, and somehow make it reduced crime. >> and being a candidate is very different than holding the office. it's very easy to talk about the change you want to make. but when you get into a system that's been established and a way of doing things, it becomes much more difficult to actually effect the change you're talking about. >> exactly. and when you move from being a candidate to being the office holder, it's like going from the bullpen out on to the field. all of the sudden it strikes, it hits, it's what matters you. have to deliver relative humidities. chesa, i talked with him today. he is looking forward to it, but this is a big, big challenge for him. >> it's an interesting loss, by the way, after loftus was supported by the mayor, appointed interim d.a. it's a really interesting dynamic. really interesting dynamic. >> i'm not sure if the mayor had not appointed suzie loftus if chesa boudin would be district attorney. part of his support came from people who agreed with him. some of it, at least anecdotally

is they resented the mayor trying to put her thumb on the scale of the election. >> in san francisco voters respond to everything in some way. right now they're willing to give him a shot. he is in no rush to get into the office. he is not going demand that he gets in now. he is willing to wait. he is going to be busy for the next couple days because he is getting married this week on top of everything else. >> that will occupy some of his type. we wish him well, both in his job. >> it might be the last well he has, because once he takes that job, it's definitely going to be on the hot seat. > phil, thanks. as always, we appreciate it. big revelations from former u.n. ambassador nikki haley about the inner works of the white house. haley claims in a new book the former secretary of state and chief of staff tried to enlist her to oppose some of the president's policy, arguing they were doing it to interest good of the country. here is abc reporter. >> former u.s. ambassador nikki haley slamming former secretary of state rex tillerson and former white house chief of

staff john kelly, both appointed by the president for trying to undermine president trump. her new memoir "with all due respect" haley claims the two asked her during a closed door meeting to join them in resisting some of president trump's policies. excerpts released by "the washington post" writes kelly and tillerson confided in me that when they subordinated the president they were trying to save the country. it was their decisions, not the president's that were in the best interests of the america, they said. according to the post, tillerson told her people would die. >> did that really happen? >> it absolutely happened. instead of saying that to me, they should have been saying that to the president. not asking me to join them on their sidebar plan. it should have been go tell the president what your differences are and quit if you don't like what he's doing. but to undermine a president is really a very dangerous thing. and it goes against the constitution, and it goes against what the american people

want. it was offensive. >> rex tillerson was fired by the president and john kelly was ultimately pushed out by him while haley left the administration on good terms with the white house. >> she is a fantastic person, very importantly, but she also is somebody that gets it. >> in her tenure, haley sometimes broke with the president, but president trump is still encouraging his supporters to go out and buy her book. and kelly reacting to the charges told the post that if giving the president the best legal and ethical advice from across the government was working against trump, then guilty as charged. abc news, washington. honoring the men and women fighting for our freedom and safety. >> the big moment at tonight's 49ers game. that's next. hey, both teams are out on the field, 49ers and seahawks as we count down to kickoff at the top of the hour. biggest game for the 49ers since the jim harbaugh era ended in 2014. in fact we're going to flash
