but after he was elected, i got those people together as vice president and we sat down and w . biden versus trump, but on different channels. it's the strangest way to hold a debate. we're facing critical fire weather conditions. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. hour-by-hour look at the winds. how long have you been operating like this? >> you're recording me, though. >> yes, but i want to clarify how long. >> we've been doing it for a long time. >> a bay area yoga studio is not following the rules, the i-team is on the case tonight. imagine being a single mom of four kids, a college dropout. how one decision turned a latina into a top engineer here at nasa. abc7 news starts right now. >> building a better bay area for a safe and secure future. this is abc7 news. coronavirus, health care,

the economy, the supreme court, the big issues affecting americans were addressed tonight by both men hoping to be our next president. they appeared at separate events but took aim at each other. >> the president always takes his eye off the ball. >> the whole ball game changed when i saw the way they treated justice kavanaugh. i have never seen any human being and i'm not just talking about supreme court. >> good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. glad you're with us tonight. joe biden and president trump were originally scheduled to hold a town hall together in person tonight. but after president trump was diagnosed with coronavirus, the nonpartisan commission that organized the debate announced the event would be held remotely. well, the president refused to attend, resulting in two separate events at the same time. we brought in a team to cover what happened tonight. abc7 news contributor phil matier is in the newsroom with his unique insight.

that in just a moment. first let's go to anchor liz kreutz breaking down both events on a night like we've never seen before. >> whiplash for voters who had to go back and forth between the two town halls. you saw two different town halls , no surprise, given we have two different candidates. both the president and former vice president biden were asked about a range of toippics, starting with covid-19. vice president biden was in philadelphia and president trump in miami for dueling town halls. the president was asked about covid-19. when his last negative test was before contracting the virus. he wouldn't say. >> okay, and you don't know if you took a test the day of the debate? >> possibly i did, possibly i didn't. >> later answer's george stephanopoulos asked biden to respond if he will demand the president take a test the day of their next debate. >> by the way i came up here, i took another test. it's just decency. >> the town hall with biden was

calm and substantive in contrast with a more combative debate with president trump. there was a lightweight moment when the viewer complimented his smile. >> i have to say you have a great smile. >> gotcha. thank you. >> but much of it was filled with nbc's savannah guthrie grilling him on the pandemic. >> you're the president. you're not someone's crazy uncle. >> the president said he denounces white supremacy but would not disavow qanon. >> i know nothing about it. i do know they are very much against pedophilia. they fight it very hard. but i know nothing about it. >> meantime, biden was confronted by issues race. >> was it a mistake to support it? >> yes, it was. >> the former vice president was also asked again about his plans for packing the supreme court. he kept the option on the table. >> i'm not a fan. it depends on how this turns

out. not how he wins, but it's it's handled. >> the supreme court also brought up with president trump. >> what do you say to the voter thanks it's hypocritical to act in that manner and they can't trust republicans' word. >> the whole ball game changed when i saw the way they treated justice kavanaugh. i have never seen any human being, and i'm not just talking about supreme court, i have never seen a human being treated so badly with false accusations and everything else. >> a lot brought up tonight. health care, climate change, immigration, and daca and lgbtq rights also topics of discussion tonight. next week one week from tonight we'll see the two candidates face off for the last time in the last presidential debate. >> liz, thanks. stand by for just a moment. let's bring in contributor and "san francisco chronicle" snds north sider of phil matier. first of all, just unprecedented given that i would assume most

people who supported biden watched biden and most people who supported trump watched trump. i'm not sure anyone benefited from this in terms of voters. >> that is the question. but both groups had different goals. joe biden's ahead in the polls, although his camp is worried about he won't turn out the numbers to come across on elections day, so his job was to energize his base and to reach into whatever undecideds are out there. some say he was slow, and he was. he was also long winded on answering questions. trump was the polar opposite. he was quick, snappy, and confrontational. he was also being grilled. it was less of a town hall for him and more of a more of a morr a reporter. i'm not sure trump accomplished the goal sort of deflating that eccentric image we had in the first presidential debate.

i'm not sure he presented himself as the calm, reassuring type of president that people are starting to say that's what we were looking for, at least in him, and of course in joe biden as well. >> phil, nbc got a lot of criticism for deciding to host this town hall at the exact same time as this abc town hall. it wasn't really a service to any voters. i feel like savannah guthrie and the fact she decided to grill the president, it was 20 minutes before we heard her turn to take questions from voters. this is a town hall, you're supposed to take questions from voters. what do you make of that? >> i'll be honest about that. if you or i or anybody else got the call and said the president is going to be available and there's other competition out there that he could go to, chances are i would say, yeah, we'll take it. and then you'll sit down and show that we're not just going to roll over for this. we're going to ask the tough questions. if he made the rules that he would only show up at this time, then you don't have to be a george stephanopoulos and sort of have the traditional town hall.

you have a right to go in there and grill him as well. so both sides got what they wanted out of it and, you know, the american public, you either got a split screen or split personality going back and forth or you checked out your candidate to see if they were meeting up your expectations. >> and maybe people would dvr the other and then watch the other after the first one. >> there's only so much time in the day. >> and only so much we can take, right? >> exactly. that's a very good point because, you know, right now america is dealing with so many things, and this on top of it, you're right. how much more can we take, and that is in this election -- when i tell people on the streets, it's hard to figure out what they want more, this to be over with or the fear of what happens when it's over. so i don't know what it is, but you're right. >> so we do have to endure this 19 more days. that's when the election is

happening. so any predictions leading up to election day, phil? >> record turnout, after that it's anyone's guess. biden appears to have a comfortable leave, not make mistakes, that would be the biggest thing for him. i have to be honest with you. i was talking to democratic operatives and they appear to be worried. they say the minorities, especially the minority male voters aren't swinging necessarily in biden's direction and they say that could be part of the decision. so we got 19 more days. it's going to be a very active 19 days. >> a fascinating 1 days. phil, thank you so much. you can read phil matier's columns in the "san francisco chronicle" every wednesday and sunday. vote-by-mail ballots have been sent out, you can return yours before or on november 3rd. don't forget to seal, sign, and date your ballot. you can mail it back, take it to

can accommodate 11 people socially distanced by the tape. >> how long have you been operating like this? >> you're recording me, though. >> well, yes, but i wanted just to clarify how long. >> we've been doing it for a long time. >> seven months? >> when did this all start? >> according to guidelines, yoga studios were not allowed to open on a permanent basis from march until september 22nd. at that point in-person instruction is permitted only at 10% capacity, yet he tells abc7 news he is operating with 11 people in a studio that can accommodate 26. that's more than 40% capacity. >> you are aware this is against the rules? >> no, not as far as i know. i haven't heard nothing. >> county and state regulations require that everyone have a mask inside. >> yeah, well, everything is optional. >> but it's state required. >> i'm not making them wear a

unit next week. >> we'll have a way for the public to report businesses that are noncompliant. we'll send out emails to these businesses, we'll go out and make sure we follow up with them. if they're not complying, we'll seek civil penalties and criminal prosecution. >> but if you ask antoon -- >> i'm living my life and saving lives. i'll never close this place. ever. never. >> we finished our conversation as promised after speaking with pacifica place. i later showed up to explain the regulations specifically pertaining to to businesses like his. >> i have the guidelines right here to show you. >> but he wasn't interested. >> if you know the business in san mateo county that is not complying with public health guidelines, starting friday you can file a complaint to the covid compliance unit by either calling 211 or filing a report online. we have all these details posted on our website. for the i-team, stephanie

you test regularly for this virus. it's your participation in that testing that is so important because we don't want to have a serious outbreak on campus. >> as soon as we arrive, we have to take our first covid test. and then we can start to move into our new apartments or dorm. >> here for the covid test? you're on time. >> it'll be five seconds on each side. >> all done. >> i haven't been here in a while. feels good to be back. >> there's four rooms in this apartment, so normally there would be five people, but right now there's only three. we'll get tested again. if we're negative, we can stop with the masks. >> masks even inside the apartment? >> yeah and unless we're in our room with the door closed or in the shower. >> there's only one person per room but i don't have a

roommate, so it's basically like living in a single with two beds. >> how is everything? how are you doing? >> doing good. >> what happened with your covid test results? >> it came back at undetected. >> negative. >> they have found eight positive cases, but they were all asymptomatic and all those students are in quarantine. >> so you moved in on saturday. classes don't begin till thursday. what will usually happen during that week? >> we usually have a concert the second day. we have a beach trip, all those activities are a good way to make friends with your roommates and get to know each other. >> what happened this year? >> this year they held zoom calls, joining a zoom call by yourself to do an activity doesn't seem as exciting. >> how was meeting the roommates and relating to them? >> there was no -- we're supposed to maintain our distance, so every time we see each other, we run away, just wave past, run to put our mask

on. we feel weird, like, knocking on each other's door because we're not supposed to be near each other for the first two weeks. >> so it's been a week since i moved in. i called my friends, but today i'm going to meet up with some of them, my old roommates. >> i can't meet them to study on campus. i can't go to a lab and stuff. it's just kind of sad. >> we get an email every day and we have to fill out a questionnaire and we have to fill out whether or not we have had symptoms or have been exposed to covid-19. once we get a green thumb, we're good to go on campus. >> so i just took my second covid test. >> the nurse monitors you as you take the test? >> it wasn't bad. it was, like, 20 seconds total. this will be the format i'll take all of the rest of my tests every two weeks. >> i was supposed to take a lab class in person, but up until three weeks ago they converted to being totally online. so they shipped us a box full of

materials. so i've been working on that. >> is it worth being on campus? >> i feel like i have a separate space that's different from my home. i feel like i'm going to go back home where i can relax and here i just need to grind hard. >> it's less like i need the space to study and more this is where it feels like i have to study. >> we wish them the best. saturday is going to be three weeks since move-in day. although the second covid-19 test came back negative, this year the students have been allowed to take their mask off inside their dorm room. for more stories, download the app on your connected tv devices. again, it's on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and android tv. just go to the building a better bay area section and you'll find it quickly. a warm day today certainly and a hotter one tomorrow. sandhya that see

but that's tough to do on a fixed income. i'd be hit with a tax penalty for moving to another county, so i'm voting 'yes' on prop 19. it limits property taxes and lets seniors transfer their home's current tax base to another home that's closer to family or medical care. being closer to family is important to me. how about you? voting 'yes' on prop 19. and the veterans that never quit on their team. when being a fan gets tough, and stretching your budget gets even tougher... ...our agents put in the time and legwork for you, ...so saving on auto insurance is easy. because saving a little extra goes a long way.

to pump blood to the body. and with a healthier heart, there's no telling where life may take you. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust your heart to entresto. the unfair money bail system. he, accused of rape. while he, accused of stealing $5. the stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. the senior citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. because the size of your wallet shouldn't determine whether or not you're in jail. vote yes on prop 25

to end money bail. . now abc7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. the 49ers are 2-3. they face the rams, patriots,

seahawks, and saints in their next four games. the rams on sunday night football. even if they were healthy, this would be a tough stretch, but they've been banged up since day one. at quarterback, offensive line and secondary, those problems need fixing in a hurry. >> luckily at the end of the day, you know, we have an accountable team. we don't have guys trying to jump off the fish, guys pointing fingers. we have guys coming in today and i thought we had our best practice of the year today. we know we're not playing at our best. >> that can be an effective double team, i think. >> fred dean, who passed away last night after coming down with covid-19. the hall of famer was one of the first pass rush specialists in the nfl, helping the 'niners within the super bowl in the 1981 and 1984 seasons.

a lot of baseball after being scratched in the series opener because of back spasms, clayton kershaw trying to even it with the braves in arlington for game four. kershaw looking to keep the ball in the yard, but his postseason struggles continue. marc marcel ozuna with a double. he goes five innings, allows four runs and you got the sad kershaw meme going right there. meanwhile, ozuna was yokozuna.y. the braves are one out away from winning 10-2 to take a 3-1 series lead. alcs game five, 3-1. whatever he's eating, i want some. solo homer to center, his sixth of this postseason, rays down 3-2. bottom of the ninth.

carlos correa, good night, game over. drive home safely. the astros force a game six. 4-3 is your final. steph curry got his wish, said he wanted to be part of the necks edition of the match, and he will be along with charles barkley, phil mickelson and peyton manning. sir, charles would be t sir charles would be the opposite of that. just finding his shots could take a while. even the putting might take a while. last year's event raised $20 million for charity. i mean, when chuck is out there, dan, you know, with the swing that has ten hitches in it before he uncoils, i mean, i don't know how long a round of golf is going to take with him, but it'll be entertaining. you know that. >> it's crazy. what's funny is his practice swing he doesn't do, only when he swings for real. >> odd. >> very strange, very strange. >> thanks, larry.

coming up next proposition 16 takes some women make as little as 42% of what a man makes. voting yes on prop 16 helps us fix that. it's supported by leaders like kamala harris and opposed by those who have always opposed equality. we either fall from grace or we rise. together. proposition 16 provides equal opportunities, levelling the playing field for all of us. vote yes on prop 16.
