employees, director of public works mohammed nuru. restaurateur nick bovis also charged in a criminal complaint with honest services wire fraud in connection with an alleged scheme to bribe a san francisco airport commissioner. the alleged bribe, $5,000 cash and free travel in exchange for the commissioner's assistance to win a bid for the right to run a restaurant at sfo. both men allegedly violated rules requiring a fair competitive bidding process though the scheme was never completed and the bribe never paid. >> federal law gives the citizens of san francisco a right to honest services from their public officials. >> reporter: additional schemes alleged include nuru using his position to benefit a billionaire in china who was developing a large multi-million dollar mixed use project in san francisco. >> the complaint alleges corruption pouring into san francisco from around the world allegedly attempting to use his position as the chair of the

transbay joint powers authority to secure a desirable lease for bovis in the transbay transit center. also allegedly providing bovis with inside information on city projects regarding portable bathroom trailers and homeless housing units so bovis could win those contracts. and nuru allegedly obtaining free and discounted labor and equipment from contractors to help him build a personal vacation home while those contractors were also engaging in business with the city. nuru tweeted this photo with bovis in 2013, thanking him for his leadership and all he does for children in the bay area and beyond. nuru is also charged in a second complaint for having shared details of the investigation after previously promising to cooperate with the fbi. san francisco mayor london breed had this to say today. >> it is of course important that we work with our city attorney and our controller's office to fully cooperate with the fbi on this particular investigation to ensure public

trust and full transparency. >> reporter: the mayor is asking the city attorney and controller to conduct a thorough review of any implicated city contracts. the department of public works tells abc7 news its number one priority is to ensure that staff stay focused on their jobs and the work of the department. in the newsroom, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >> nuru is on paid administrative leave right now, but this afternoon the city removed his bio from the department of public works website. this is what's on the web page where the bio was still available as late as 3:00 p.m., three hours ago. the city's department of human resources released a statement today. quote, we will note under state law an employer cannot release an employee solely on the basis of an arrest or allegations made against them. it doesn't sit well with san francisco supervisor matt haney. >> he should be fired immediately. the idea that he be put on administrative leave potentially being paid until the facts come out, there's enough that's come

out to say that he should no longer be the dpw director and that this entire department needs to be reformed. >> now on our 4:00 p.m. newscast, i talked with abc7 news contributor and chronicle insider phil matier. he thinks this is just the beginning. >> well, there's going to be more names to follow and it's very, very interesting. we're talking about two very well known figures in san francisco, not only in politics but in the civic arena as well. mohammed nuru, 30 years with the department of public works, worked his way up. he is known for the guy cleaning the streets of the city, building the navigation centers, taking the transbay terminal, which was way overdue to be built. you hand it to mohammed, he will cut through the red tape or bhafr it takes and get the job done. this time, however, he appears to have carried that over into his personal life and cut corners that could get him i trouble, specifically hooking up with nick bovis, who is also very well known san franciscan. >> he certainly is. you've seen nick bovis many times here on abc7. here's video from a year ago when his restaurant, lefty

o'doul's provided free meals for federal workers furloughed during the government shutdown. and here's video from christmas 2018. bovis has been giving christmas presents to students at a tenderloin school for years. now he's accused of working with nuru to get inside information to gain an unfair advantage in awarding contracts. as this story broke today, we started sending out push alerts through the abc7 news app. download that right now. it is the easiest way to be the first to know what's going on where you live. a lost child discovered alone in a park is back with her family tonight. someone noticed the little girl alone at fremont's crandall creek park this afternoon and called police. officers think she's about 2 years old. they took that little girl on a search for her family in a neighborhood adjacent to the park. they went door to door and spoke with neighbors. police say the girl's mother came to the scene when she saw the department posting about it on social media, that officers were looking for the child's

family. it took about an hour of searching, and the girl was thankfully back with her family. well, starting tomorrow, a big stretch of san francisco's busiest street will be closed to private vehicles. we've been warning you about this for weeks. the time is now. about two miles of market street will close roughly from van necessary to the ferry building. the reason? well, making it safer for people walking and biking as well as speeding up public transit. could this help build a better bay area? abc7 news reporter ansar hassan, how is the city going to enforce this? >> reporter: yeah, dan. good evening. sfmta says they'll have extra patrols at 11 different intersections along market street starting tomorrow that will last for the next couple of weeks. they say last year there was about 123 injury-related accidents from van ness -- or from market street down to van ness. they hope by taking private cars

off the street, it will make it safer. this delivery driver who didn't want to give his name may be delivering his last pizza to one market. starting tomorrow, he won't be allowed to drive on market street. >> you guys can't drive, so how are you going to deliver food? >> apparently we're going to have to go around the block or find other places. it's already tough trying to find parking. >> reporter: new street signs went up this morning to warn drivers about the changes. emergency vehicles, delivery trucks, buses and taxis can still drive on market street, but private cars including lyft and uber are banned. sfmta estimates that more than half a million people walk market street every day, and 650 bicyclists ride it each hour during peak commute times. derek is one of them. >> at least down to where 10th street is, around there there's a protected bike lane. but up until then, it's pretty dangerous with the bikes next to

the cars and buses. >> reporter: market street will be car-free roughly between the ferry building and van ness depending on which direction drivers are going. river drum welcomes the change but says since it's not a total ban, it only works if it's enforced. >> i guess it will depend on how it's enforced by the police and whoever is enforcing it, making sure that cars actually stay off market. >> reporter: officials say there will be extra patrols to monitor drivers while sfmta monitors traffic. >> we're very confident that it will get dispersed through a wide network of streets, so there's not one particular street that we think all the traffic is going to go to. but we will be monitoring the situation, and we're more than prepared to make adjustments if necessary. >> reporter: the sfmta says they won't be ticketing right away, but once they do, the fine is $238 and a point on your driving record. reporting live in san francisco,

city crews. others were upset. >> they moved me from down there, up to here, and i have ptsd, and that don't work well with me. >> reporter: this bottwoman has lived here in a tent for six years. are you planning to move out of here? >> oh, yeah, we plan on moving. >> do you have a trailer lined up? >> yeah, they're slowly moving people out. it just takes time. >> and you're okay with that? >> we're on the list, yeah. >> reporter: oakland also announced they're starting to dismantle the encampment in the home depot parking lot in the fruitvale area in the coming month and will move many of the homeless into designated safe rv parking lots and trailers as well. some of those trailers supplied by the state of california as outlined to abc7 news by governor newsom a few weeks ago. >> we're bringing out trailers, emergency medical equipment. we're going to start treating this like it's a fema recovery operation. >> reporter: also mayor libby schaaf unveiled a new so-called cabin community of tiny homes

nestled under interstate 880 at oak street. 38 private units in the shadow of new construction across the street paid for entirely with donations. no taxpayer money. >> this site was 100% donated by loving oaklanders. the total startup cost, every one of these cabins. >> reporter: the dwroemayor cal out two rock stars she said, including a pta president and another woman who has done a lot of fund-raising parties at her her private home trying to get at the problem of homelessness in oakland. i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. >> thank you, leslie. of course we always love to hear your ideas about building a better bay area. you can share them by joining us on facebook. a south bay home is uninhabitable tonight because of a water problem and it has nothing to do with a pipe.

it's been getting worse for months. the owner's retirement nest egg is in jeopardy. i'm spencer christian. a sunny and dry weather pattern coming our way with a rather impressive warm-up. details in my accuweather forecast in just a moment. i'm michael finney and i'm looking for a way to get you to the super bowl cheap. 7 on your side is coming up. i'm larry beil in miami at the super bowl. hey, when you're here in south florida, what's better than hitting the beach? how about helping out when you're on the beach? we're

to deal with the problem.icians but they wouldn't. so we took it to the voters and forced big tobacco to pay its share of healthcare costs. we fought oil companies for new clean air laws and closed a billion dollar corporate tax loophole to fund public schools. by going directly to the people we got results. that's not something you see a lot of from washington these days. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message.

let's make change happen. welcome back. we are counting down to super bowl sunday when the niners will face the kansas city chiefs to see who's the best in the nfl.

>> what is everyone doing in the days leading up to sunday? larry beil is live in miami. he's got some answers for us. big fun there, larry. >> reporter: yeah. we're working very hard, dan, at the nfl party tonight. very hard. it's not all about preparing for the game. abc7 news south bay community journalist dustin dorsey found some nfl veterans, some current players, and others hitting the beach and doing it for a good cause. you know you can't come to miami without visiting the beautiful beaches. but we're not here for sun tanning and surfing. it's all about volunteering today. dozens are on hand to help clean the beaches as part of the nfl huddle for 100 campaign. >> we are out here at the huddle for 100 beach cleanup to really get fans volunteering across the country. the ocean conservancy was hosting this incredible event so we're partnering with them to clean up this lovely beach here today. >> i think it's great that the nfl put a priority on people

getting involved. and not only highlighting the things that players are doing but trying to engage the fans and say, hey, football is fun. football is great, and it's fun on sunday, but there's a lot of things that are a lot more important than football. >> we have i think surpassed about 250 million minutes. i'm hoping to get to 300 million minutes by the end of this week to go out with a bang. >> i always thought the greatest advantage of being a professional athlete, playing in the nfl, is the opportunity to have a platform, to shine a light on things that need help, you know, whether that's kids and trying to help with the problems in homelessness or helping in trying to clean up the ocean. there's so much work we need to do and i'm just proud to be out here today, get out in the water, get in the ocean and try to clean it up. >> coming back especially during this time and being able to do something at this level, i feel like it's definitely something i'm proud of and happy to be a part of. this is the only world we have. to come and clean up the beaches, do things of this sort,

i just feel like it's important because you just have to make sure that everybody understands that just because of the things that we do in terms of what i do from a professional standpoint, you can come out here and positively continue to affect the community. >> reporter: you saw kenyan drake there, former miami dolphin, now a member of the arizona cardinals. the nfl very involved in the community when they bring the super bowl to town. no beach time for the 49ers or chiefs, at least not until after the game. our super bowl coverage continues later on. we'll hear from the niners talking about quarterback jimmy garoppolo, who is getting ready for the biggest game of his career. that's coming up later in sports. >> larry, thanks so much. we'll touch base in a little while. >> we have a whole abc7 team in miami all week covering super bowl liv. you can also find in depth super bowl coverage online. >> if you're heading to miami,

we're keeping an eye on that weather for you for the super bowl as well and here. >> it is looking nice. i'm going to show you the miami forecast, the super bowl forecast in just a moment. first what's happening right here right now is not much. we have dry conditions, a little system we had that brought us some showers earlier today has moved away, and it has left behind exactly what we forecast. that is about a tenth of an inch of rainfall or less. in fact, most places had lower than a tenth of an inch. it was a light storm indeed. here's a live view from our rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero. 56 in san francisco. mid to upper 50s at oakland. redwood city, san jose. 51 at gilroy. nice view from emeryville. you can see the outline of some high clouds in the sky there. they'll be with us overnight as well. temperature readings in the low to mid-50s in santa rosa,

petaluma, napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. here's the view at the golden gate bridge. these are our forecast features. widespread fog during the overnight and early morning hours, so commuters may find it a slow go. warmer pattern settles in thursday through saturday. much warmer in fact, but we'll be turning sharply cooler, the weather will be, on sunday. overnight with lots of fog across the region, we'll see low temperatures dropping into the low to mid 40s. then tomorrow under hazy sunshine, we'll see high temperatures ranging from about 60 at the coast to some low and mid-60s around the bay shoreline. mid-60s down into the south bay. mid-60s in the inland east bay and up north where we'll see highs of 65 at santa rosa and napa. here's a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. once we get to thursday, we're going to see quite a warm-up thursday, friday, and saturday. high temperatures inland and around the bay shoreline. it will be near or even above 70 degrees. low 60s on the coast friday and

saturday. then it turns sharply cooler by about 8 degrees or so on sunday. that cooling continues into early next week. here's that super bowl forecast that liz was asking for. on saturday in miami, it will be a bit showery, maybe even a thunderstorm. but on sunday, we expect crystal clear, sparkling sunny skies with a high of about 72 degrees. i would say that's pretty good football weather. >> i would say. it must be a good sign of something hopefully. >> all hopeful signs we'll take. >> exactly. listen to this. a sinkhole bigger than a bathtub not out on the street. it's in the l

welcome back. a large sinkhole is now a big headache for homeowners in santa clara. >> the hole is in the middle of the living room, and the home can't be occupied. the house is in the rancho palma grande condominium complex in santa clara. >> abc7 news reporter david louie got a look inside. >> reporter: the sinkhole is about the size of a bathtub right in the middle of the living room. it's covered up for safety, but when crews went down to investigate, the hole was a good six feet deep and filled with water. 20 months ago when the water was first discovered through a floor grate, the water was only four feet deep. but the more they tried to pump it out, the more flow kept increasing over a three-month period. >> what it translates to is 17,000 gallons a day. so it's like almost a swimming pool a day is coming out of the

house. >> reporter: it's believed the water may be coming from an old well. when the land underneath the condominiums was an orchard. owners doug ridley and sherry schenn sued the homeowners association last summer for negligence. meantime, their engineering consultant says there's evidence the foundation is cracking and the house is being undermined. >> i can't tell you how much we will be spending going on because it's not nearly -- it's not near the end. i can't even see the end. >> reporter: the legal and engineering fees are mounting, running about $160,000 so far. >> not only can you have a potential for structural damage, house movement, settlement and stuff like that, but also you've got water underneath the house that is creating an environment where mold can grow, and that can circulate through the home. >> reporter: the house has plastic sheeting everywhere to prevent the mold from spreading. there are larvae growing underneath the house. we reached out to the law firms

representing the homeowners association to be part of our story. one attorney replied no comment because of the pending litigation. the other did not return our call. in santa clara, david louie, abc7 news. a charter plane that has evacuated americans from china because of the coronavirus is heading for california. >> where will it stop first to treat and quarantine infected passengers on board if there are any? and as we continue to learn new details about the helicopter crash that killed kobe bryant, we go inside a lab teaching students

actions speak louder than words. she was a school teacher. my dad joined the navy and helped prosecute the nazis in nuremberg. their values are why i walked away from my business, took the giving pledge to give my money to good causes,

and why i spent the last ten years fighting corporate insiders who put profits over people. i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message. because, right now, america needs more than words. we need action.

>> announcer: now, news to build a better bay area from abc7. the bodies have been recovered and the wrecked aircraft has been retrieved. now the investigation into what caused the helicopter crash that killed kobe bryant, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others begins to really take shape. >> the national transportation safety board says it will be months before an official cause for sunday's crash will be released. many questions linger over whether it was safe to fly given the foggy conditions. >> well, we are going to look at the weather conditions. we're going to talk to air traffic control. we're going to talk to the company, and we're going to look

at records. >> tonight the l.a. coroner's office officially identified four of the nine victims. they include kobe bryant of course, john altobelli, sarah chester, and the pilot, ar raza buyian. >> the remains of all nine victims have been recovered and investigators will now conduct examinations on the victims. >> as we said, the wrecked helicopter has been moved. it's been taken to a secure location to be examined thoroughly. >> abc7 news reporter annabelle munoz takes us inside a usc lab where students are learning how to reconstruct aviation crashes just like this one. >> this is the wreckage of a helicopter. >> reporter: aviation professionals from around the world find a training ground at the usc aviation safety and security program. >> we teach them to investigate aircraft accidents, helicopter accidents, jet engine accidents and incidents so they can go back and improve safety in their own organizations. >> reporter: in this room there's more than a dozen real wreckages, and part of the

program is taking a close look at some of them to determine what happened. >> this part of the aircraft impacted the ground first or at least absorbed a lot of the energy. in any aircraft accident investigation it's a combination of two or three or four or five hazards come together at the same time and resulting in this catastrophic result. >> reporter: once the ntsb takes over, the investigation could last months or longer. >> it's required by international standard that they appoint an iic, an investigator in charge, and that investigator n charge has the responsibility of organizing and conducting the accident investigation. some investigators will simply walk with a voice recorder and take in the whole scene. >> reporter: here they simulate the investigation, talking with witnesses and data analysis from air traffic facilities preserved immediately after a crash. >> everyone will essentially

freeze all their tapes, all of their telephone conversations, all of their radar data, all their flight progress strips. >> reporter: the process may be overwhelming. >> they will arrive at the answer, and they will have figured out what caused the accident, and that will cause them to trust the process. >> reporter: annabelle munoz, abc7 news. >> now, we spoke with an aviation expert yesterday about why the helicopter crashed. you can find that and all of our reports on this tragedy on our website, abc7news.com. new at 6:00, people dealing with the emotional impact of the gilroy garlic festival shooting have a new place to get support and comfort. today was the grand opening of the gilroy strong resiliency center, or the gsrc low cated at monterey road and east sixth street. it's been six months since the festival shooting that left four people dead and 17 others injured. gsrc is a supportive place to process trauma and will offer

worried about specifically. >> i want to make a really important point. we're concerned about people who have traveled. we're not concerned about people who are from the chinese community or who have family members who have ever lived in china. >> right now a charter flight carrying americans is on its way to anchorage, alaska, from china. travelers on board are being screened for the virus. hospitals are prepared to treat and quarantine the infected. then the plane is scheduled to fly to california. wall street seems to have recovered from yesterday's coronavirus fears. the dow was up 187 points today. the nasdaq 130. and the s&p saw a solid 32-point gain. opening arguments ended today in president trump's impeachment trial. today the president's defense team warned that impeaching him would be dangerous. >> why not trust the american people with this decision? why tear up their ballots? >> senators now get up to 16 hours over two days to question

it's kind of cool out there tonight, under dry conditions. low temperatures dropping into the low to mid-40s. lots of fog developing, so the early morning commute could be a bit challenging. tomorrow by afternoon, we'll see hazy sunshine in most spots with high temperatures ranging from 60 at the coast to mid-60s inland. but it's going to get much warmer than that. look at the middle of this week on my accuweather seven-day forecast. thursday, friday, saturday, high temperatures climbing into the upper 60s first and then into the low 70s inland. and around the bay shoreline on friday and saturday, low 60s on the coast. that's pretty mild for late january. but then it cools down sharply on sunday. very sharply in fact, by about 8 degrees or so. by the way, in case you're wondering, the super bowl weekend forecast for miami looks like showers on saturday, the day before the game. but sunny and mild on sunday, the day of the game. >> even more of a reason to snatch up those good tickets to get out to miami. >> while they can. thanks very much, spencer. legendary mexican band los

good evening, everybody. we are live at the port of miami, the nfl holding a big pre-super bowl party for the media. let's talk 49er football, shall we? when the 49ers acquired jimmy garoppolo in a trade from the patriots, it really changed everything for the franchise because for the first time in a while, this team really had a potential franchise quarterback. yet the narrative the past couple of weeks in the playoff wins over the vikings and the packers have been the 49ers win with their rushing game, casting some doubts about the ability of jimmy garoppolo to throw the football. but as abc7's chris alvarez reports, niners players and coaches say, you know, if that's what you're thinking, maybe you ought to actually watch the games. >> the 49ers have run all the way to miami literally. they have been dominant on the ground game but you got to remember the quarterback, jimmy grob l garoppolo carried them during the middle of the season. richard short-te

>> i don't think he wants credit. if we win this super bowl and he gets mvp, i don't know if he'll go up to the stage. he'll be kind of like, oh, my god, you guys. you guys, come on. mvp? >> everyone has a different story in this league, how you get to where you're going. and just -- i don't know, i'm happy with my story and how everything has worked out. >> jimmy should never apologize for us running the ball too well. there's a number of times throughout this year i think we hit a lull defensively and running the ball halfway through the year where we had to open up games throwing to start it out. people just have to watch the whole season and realize that's not at all the case. >> people keep doubting him, i guess. i'm not going to. i don't bet against really good players. >> it was definitely different when you saw him come into the huddle. the natural poise. >> reporter: that lack of respect also apparen in 2014. coach shanahan was an offensive coordinator with the cleveland browns and had to participate in garoppolo's pre-draft workout. >> they didn't have a lot of receivers show up so i had to do

some of the routs, which was frustrating because he threw it too hard. i didn't have gloves and the next few days my hands were purple. but i feel like i caught most of them. >> yeah. well, he was -- what was he? o.c. at the time. i think he had the quarterback coach there with us and we were trying to do some throwing drills. he ended up catching a couple of them, and it was a pretty good workout actually. >> reporter: funny how all these years later coach shanahan's and garoppolo's paths have crossed. they're on the precipice of winning a championship here in miami. with the 49ers at the super bowl, chris alvarez, abc7 sports. >> thank you, chris. love to find that video of jimmy g throwing to coach shanahan from years ago. all right. let's shift gears, talk nba basketball. the warriors on an east coast road trip in philadelphia tonight. and that was kobe bryant's hometown. the warriors playing the sixers. this is the first game for both teams since the tragic kobe bryant helicopter crash on

sunday. pregame ceremonies in philadelphia. kobe's lower merion high school 393 jersey in the rafters. both teams observing a moment of silence. several of the warriors really close with kobe bryant, and they're still in a state of shock. they paid tribute using kobe's numbers. the sixers won the tip. they took an eight-second backboard violation. kobe during his career wore jerseys 8 and 24. then the warriors deliberately took a 24-second shot clock violation, and those two moves resulted in a standing ovation from everybody in the arena. kind of hard to go from that to basketball, but they did. kobe's former lakers teammate d'angelo russell, four-point play in the fourth. he had 28, but the warriors were down 10. joel embiid, who changed his number to 24 just for this game hits the fadeaway plus the foul. he had 24. philly wins 115-104. warriors 3-21 on the road. baseball news. spring training is coming up

soon. espn reporting a former giants skipper dusty baker is likely to become the new houston astros manager. you remember the astros fired a.j. hinch in the wake of that sign stealing scandal. dusty hasn't managed since 2017. he's been a giants special adviser for the past couple years. at age 70, dusty would be the oldest manager in the majors. dusty still has a lot of energy. it would be fun to see him managing once again. that is a wrap from the big super bowl party in miami. as i look here, there's four minutes left in this party. dan and liz, this is my time right now. see ya. >> go grab those hors d'oeuvres. >> he's gone. >> joining us tonight for abc7 news at 11:00. car break-ins and burglaries are spiking in the east bay and police in six cities joining forces to do something about it.

i'm cornell barnard. we'll have that story tonight at 11:00. and it's a historic first. two super bowl teams with red as their primary color. how to know if you're sporting the right hue. >> you don't want to -- that's a faux pas. you don't want to get that wrong. >> that's going to make things tough for us wearing red at the station. >> look for breaking news whenever you like on the abc7 news app. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm liz kreutz. for all of us here
