reservations about this because of the pressure it might put on them during an emergency. chavez claims training, education and support will be key. >> it's a nasal spray that can be sprayed very quickly, and it's intended to keep spraying as you keep the person alert until help arrives. while i think it could for some people feel like a lot of pressure, i think for others it'll feel like an opportunity to help if this plan does move forward. >> chavez is hoping vta will have the narcan by the beginning of next year. if you or someone you know is struggling with drug addiction, you can find a list of local resources on our website. abc7 news.com. take action. >> developing news involving an american trapped deep inside a cave in turkey. a rescue operation is underway, but we're learning it could take several more days to get him out. jobina is tracking that from the live desk. thank you, reggie. >> so crews are in day two of a life saving rescue mission. thousands thousands of feet underground. so mark dickey, a

about 15 hours to reach the surface. but if he needs to be carried out on a stretcher, it could take up to two weeks to lower the stretcher down and bring it back up. dickey's team can communicate with people on the surface, but messages take about five hours to reach them. carmassi >> all right. thank you, jobina . today, youtube parenting influencer ruby franky is expected to appear in court. she has been charged with felony child abuse after one of her kids asked a neighbor for help. here's abc news reporter kayna whitworth in this morning's gma first look ruby franky facing justice expected to appear in court in just hours. >> the youtube parenting influencer charged with six counts of felony child abuse. >> i'm not even going to let you eat breakfast until you get your chores done. >> abc news obtaining audio from the dramatic 911 call that led to her arrest. tell me exactly what's happened. >> i just had a 12 year old boy show up here at my front door asking for help, and he's said

north as the central coast here into monterey. we're not expecting any of that heavy rain we saw about a week ago. and in fact, our weather is going to take a turn for warmer conditions as we have mostly clear sky. this morning, except up in santa rosa, where there is patchy fog. this is hurricane lee, a very strong category five, which will continue to strengthen. so it is really far offshore from the eastern seaboard, but it'll continue to move in that direction by 11:00 tomorrow night. it continues at a strong category five, moves north of puerto rico. so it's going to take a turn to the north. and first thought was that it would move up into canada, but now not too sure how close it's going to get to the atlantic coast. so we'll have to stay tuned and watch that carefully. 55in oakland, 58in hayward. it is 49in santa rosa. so we are looking at a beautiful day today. slightly warmer, though, upper 70s in fremont, 86, santa rosa, that's about four degrees warmer than yesterday, 75 in oakland. the

affection in her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us. >> the king is spending the day privately at the family's balmoral estate, reflecting on his mother's life in this new audio message. i'm deeply grateful to for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year. the anniversary of the queen's death coming just days after a survey found king charles remains unpopular with his younger subjects. 52% of british people ages 18 to 24 say they disapprove of charles. only 28% have a positive view of him. >> all the polls suggest that the younger generation have not really not connected with him and don't really see the point of an unelected head of state. so i think there's work to do there. >> one major difference between king charles's reign and the queen's is protesters showing up at nearly every event. king charles attends mostly young people holding signs, reading not my king and who elected him

? >> what has been the defining characteristic of his reign so far is just how little has changed. there's been a very clear emphasis on continuity and both in style and in content. he's stuck very close to the way that his late mother did things. >> meanwhile, this commemorative coin has been unveiled in honor of the late queen. it's the size of a basketball made of nearly 8 pounds of gold with 6400 diamonds. it was made by a luxury lifestyle company. the price tag could top $23 million. rhiannon ally, abc news, new york. >> topping news hurricane lee is now a category five as it makes its way across the atlantic ocean. it picked up winds at 160 miles an hour last night. national hurricane service is predicting that it will increase to 180 miles an hour today. this extremely dangerous storm is still pretty far from land, according to weather officials. we are at least just talk about this, too. the currents are expected to become dangerous on

sunday. it's too soon to know, though, if the storm will make landfall in the united states. this is the fourth hurricane of the 2023 atlantic season in. i just have to just watch lisa and just see where it goes. >> the waters there are so unbelievably warm. that's why they're looking at that rapid intensification from 165 to about 180 miles an hour. i don't know if you heard they had sea surface temperatures at the surface in florida of like 80 and 90 degree, i believe it. yeah so certainly some unprecedented times in the atlantic. so this will be watched closely in just another review here where you can see how continues unimpeded there for saturday into sunday. and there's a look at san juan, puerto rico, where it turns to the north. but the latest thinking is that it's not going to turn sharp enough, quick enough to avoid all of the eastern seaboard. so if that's the case, areas like new england , boston, they could get a lashing with some very heavy rain and that high surf into later next week. there's jova.

hurricane jova. another beautiful imagery there from the pacific where this continues to weaken and will influence part of southern california, even the central coast could see some high clouds later in the weekend. but for the bay area, we're talking about a slight warming trend. you may have noticed it a bit yesterday, 58in oakland at 60in concord. we have some fog to the north of us in santa rosa. here's a look at napa. if you're headed to wine country over the weekend, notice that we're about five degrees average today in the mid 80s. we'll stay just thereabouts tomorrow and then into sunday and monday, climbing another four degrees. so not a huge warm up, but enough that you'll probably notice it feeling certainly like summer the rest of the bay area tomorrow looking at upper 70s to near 80 the bay shore low 80s in the south bay. here's your warmest day on sunday day. you can see all those 80s around the bay and 90s inland. little change on monday. so today bay enjoying that 70 downtown 75 across the bay mid and upper 70s peninsula. we

should see about 82 in redwood city and about 90 in fairfield, jobina. thank you, lisa. >> good morning, everybody. we're bringing in the bay bridge toll plaza because typically around this time of the morning , the metering lights are on. that is not the case today. they are off still, traffic is very light as you make your way into san francisco and the same trend continues in the south bay as we look live in san jose showing you to 80 hour drive times though, for our super commuters has increased ever so slightly. and same thing for our drivers on westbound four. so tracy to dublin 32 minutes. antioch to concord 26. everything else looks great. reggie thanks for being i new at six an expensive of membership based fine dining experience. >> it's no longer opening in san francisco. the reasons behind the restaurant's failure. >> first though, football season is back and so are the 40 niners faithful. we are hearing from some fans hitting the road this weekend to watch the n

disruption going on in the stadium right now in the upper upper deck. >> a group of environmental activists in the upper level of the stadium halted play in the second set of a semifinal match . a couple of them were cleared out by authorities, but one of them glued his bare feet to the concrete floor that caused an extended delay as they had to figure out how to get him out of there. he was finally led away in handcuffs and the match resumed. and a similar protest happened in july at wimbledon with activists running onto the court and spreading orange confetti. >> fans are less than a week away from the chance to own part of the oakland roots and sole soccer club on september 13th,

starting at 9 a.m, a community investment round opens up online so anyone over 18 will be able to purchase their share of ownership alongside nfl legend marshawn lynch and global rap star g-eazy. investors are going to have equity in the club as well as getting some perks, including exclusive merchandise, vip events, and behind the scenes access. members of dub nation can now make their game viewing plans through the upcoming season. the golden state warriors announced their broadcast schedule on yesterday so you can catch five games right here on abc7. the first one is on christmas day. that's when the warriors are going to be on the road taking on the denver nuggets. >> 40 niners fans are notorious for traveling to see their team play and turning the opponent's stadium into a sea of red. this sunday could be another example of that with the niners opening the season in pittsburgh against the steelers, we found some members of the 40 niner faithful at san francisco international airport heading to steal city. there's definitely excitement

not just about seeing the team this sunday, but about the entire season. >> i mean, get loud, enjoy it, enjoy the ride, because it's the first one. last one was in vegas. the last one last game will be in vegas. so let's get ready faithful for this ride. >> the reason is bringing up the vegas is because of the super bowl. las vegas is hosting it this season. so he's obviously very optimistic. monday night football is back on abc. next week, the first game kicks off monday night as the bills take on aaron rodgers and the jets. it all starts at 515 right here on abc seven. >> all right. starting your weekend with a mostly clear sky, here's a look at our roof camera . we do have a little bit of patchy fog in santa rosa. otherwise it'll be a sunny start out there. and the warmer conditions arriving today, tomorrow into the weekend. the sea breeze keeping the coast comfortable. but we will look for temperatures near or slightly above average in livermore, mid 80s is the average high upper 80s for the next couple of days to the lower

90s. this could be a little conservative and then we'll look for that drop off tuesday, wednesday and thursday. so there's a hurricane to the south of us that is weakening. but as we get into your friday afternoon, soon you'll notice that some of this moisture here from that dying hurricane wants to visit southern in the central coast. so we could see if you're camping, heading to the southern sierra monterey, you may run into a shower. but keep an eye on the forecast for that. otherwise, the bay area trending warmer. >> thank you, lisa. new at six gearing up for a mayoral run the air who is reportedly expected to launch a campaign for mayor of san francisco embraced a body. >> inclusivity. the technology of san francisco based pinterest is using to diversify its search results as a victory that is there for the taking. grab it. now that was a great halftime speech. let's go win.
