man and a 69 year old wife are caring for their grandchildren when robbers break in a second floor window. the men held the couple at gunpoint for nearly 40 minutes. a terrifying ordeal. their daughter told me. >> during this time, my mom was trying to rush them out of the house by saying, hey, you know, someone's going to be home soon. my son in law is going to be home from work soon, so we need to hurry up and get what you need. you know, she she offered them cash and say, hey, if what you're looking for is cash, here's cash. but just take it. please don't hurt any of us. >> the head of the apd robbery and felony section told the city council that most of the victims are elderly asians. 55 to 87 years old, and that the home invasions take place mostly between 2 and 5 a.m. monday to friday. he broke dowthe numbers by area to take a look at area urhat has the most me invasions with 17, then ten home invasions each in areas one, three and five. area two with eight, and area six with four. >> there's dots all over the map, including our street and

our neighborhood. there is an incident every few days on in this general vicinity. >> there's a real sense of fear in this neighborhood. >> absolutely. everyone's mobilized because of it. but i've never seen anything like it before. this is oakland hills. >> resident doesn't want to be identified, especially after a close call with a suspect believed to have pulled off a home invasion on his street. he talked to police. the officers tell you that they think this guy, one guy, committed 30 home invasions. >> that's right. and his mode of operation is to go to the front door. and if that doesn't work, go arounund the back and force entry and doesn't care if anyone's home. >> police told the public safety committee the spike in these home invasion robberies is attributed to a group of 2 to 4 suspects who were committing their crime spree in affluent upper scale neighborhoods. they broke down the victims by race. asian with the most at 18 home invasions, followed by hispanic , black, white, other or unknown than asian indian and native american. a police spokesperson tells me today that an arrest

area, the biggest chunk is going to san francisco. it will receive 17.3 million in state funds. the majority of that money, $15.3 million, will go to the city's police department. it will be used to hire more officers and boost crime prevention efforts. the rest is going to san francisco's district attorney's office. three other bay area district attorneys offices are each getting $2 million. those are in alameda, santa clara and sonoma counties and three other local law enforcement agencies are getting money as well. 15 million to the san mateo county sheriff's office, 11 million to the santa clara county sheriff's office and 8 million to the san jose police department. now, one city notes absent from the list of grant recipients is oakland. state officials say oakland was disqualified because the city missed the deadline. a city spokesperson says the police department had its application materials ready. but the city's department of economic and workforce development didn't submit the application on time. the city administrator called this outcome unacceptable. >> san francisco, without a

doubt, put its best foot forward for the dreamforce conference, which wrapped up today. so the question is, if the city can transform for visitors, why can't it be like this every day? abc seven news reporter suzanne fine took that question to mayor london breed to get a reaction. suzanne joining us live now in the newsroom suzanne, so julian, mayor breed pushed back. >> she said the city did not go through a major transformation just for dreamforce. she says san francisco has cleaned up for every single convention rather. and overall, things are getting better. it's the final day of dreamforce. this so-called trailblazers are still trying to get as much as possible out of their experience. >> a lot of i talk, i think that was the word of the day. it's been absolutely epic. >> great event, less than 24 hours earlier, salesforce ceo marc benioff sat down with governor gavin newsom to talk about what he's seeing in san francisco. >> this is probably the cleanest i've ever seen in san francisco. it's amazing how clean the streets are. listen to this. why can san francisco not be like this every single day?

>> the governor replied that it is possible. he said it's up to the city of san francisco and its leaders. we asked mayor london breed to respond to that and benioff's claim that dreamforce made the city's transformation possible. >> it's not just because of dreamforce. there are other conventions this is what we do for every convention that comes to san francisco. breed says conventions are key to the city's economic recovery, and she claims things have improved. so my pushback is, you know, that san francisco is changing, things are getting better. >> the mayor admits that the city still sees challenges in the tenderloin and south of market. >> but part of what i am doing is not pointing the finger at anyone but rolling up my sleeves to take full responsibility and do everything we can to address those issues. >> issues like drug use, homelessness and crime. >> and we are seeing some impacts, especially with daytime open air drug dealing, using and other issues. but we are are aggressively doing everything we

can. and i think over time we're going to see some significant improvements. in fact, i feel like they're already happening back to dreamforce. >> i think san francisco looks great. caruso nori and megan aguayo live and work in san francisco and attended this year's dreamforce. they noticed a big difference in and around moscone center. >> but yeah, i think they did a good job cleaning up for dreamforce, to be honest. >> i think people like to exaggerate how bad san francisco has gotten. >> dreamforce attendees from all across the globe have had varying impressions of san francisco. i heard things, but it was everything was fine. >> it is sad to see some of the things that are happening in the city, but you know, it's kind of like i think it's just happens everywhere, our mayor breed says jp morgan chase hosted its convention in san francisco and wrote about its incredible experiences in the city breed also says many other companies have signed on to hold their convention in san francisco in the coming years. >> live in the newsroom, suzannephan abc seven news. >> certainly good news for san francisco's economy. we appreciate it. thank you, suzanne. >> new developments with the

substance altogether. putting the younger biden in serious legal jeopardy just months after a plea deal in the case fell apart. >> obviously, the judge didn't like the plea deal and that that happened. sometimes the judge just doesn't think that the punishment is harsh enough based on what the charges are. and looking at the new indictment, though, they look like ticky tack charges. they're not something that the federal government typically brings. >> hunter back in july, ready to plead guilty to tax crimes to avoid prosecution and enter into a pretrial diversion program on the gun charge. but the deal struck with wise unraveling in court wise, who spent five years investigated, saying hunter biden then asking attorney general merrick garland to give him special counsel status to continue the investigation upon considering his request as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter. >> i have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel. >> wise was appointed by former president donald trump as us attorney and was kept in that role after president biden took office. hunter's team maintains

that the diversion agreement is still binding. the president and the white house so far not commenting on the indictment and even though the younger biden's charges carry up to 25 years in prison, the special counsel notes that actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalty and that a federal judge would ultimately decide after considering all factors in washington. faith abubey abc news. >> coming up next and goodbye to a place that made movie magic happen for lucasfilm. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. get ready to say goodbye to summer. i'll show you what's ahead. we'll take a sneak peek at el nino. plus, a look at your weekend forecast coming up. >> plus, interested in a pet peacock. the story behind wingo at t peninsula humane societyon

continues through winter. the odds of a strong event has increased to 71, but they do caution that a strong el nino doesn't necessarily mean strong impacts locally. so you probably recall the 1997 98 el nino. we'll have to wait and see because not any of these events are not all the same and they do develop differently as time goes by. high pressure in control of the weather. for the time being, though, and it did bring us some warm weather today. it was in the 80s inland, vacaville up to the 90s along the coast in the 60s. in the sierra, we are seeing some isolated showers and thunderstorms. ims all quiet here in the bay area. we do have that marine layer just starting to expand and the winds are gusting onshore to 33 miles an hour in oakland, 24 out towards the delta and indio, one of the cooler weather to come from our walnut creek camera. we are just seeing lots of sunshine right now. air quality will be good the next three days as we look at a live picture one more time,

we'll take a look at your temperatures. 63 in san francisco, oakland, 65 degrees, low to mid 70s from mountain view to san jose, 61 degrees in half moon bay. but as we look towards 80, you can see the overcast skies up above. and here's a look at that fog and low cloudiness from our mount tam cam. what a pretty picture. 67 in santa rosa. it is 70 in napa, 80 degrees in fairfield. upper 70s, concord. livermore socked in on the golden gate bridge. visibility will be poor for the morning commute. so keep that in mind. marine layer expands tonight patchy morning drizzle. we are looking at sunny conditions bay and inland tomorrow afternoon and cooler than average and breezy. this upcoming weekend. hour by hour we go. you notice the low clouds are pretty widespread and the fog along the region around 5 a.m, there will be some patchy drizzle creating the damp roadways and then the marine layer will pull to the coast and then back in across the bay and into some of our inland areas as well. tomorrow night, your morning temperatures in the 50s and 60s. tomorrow afternoon,

it's going to be a range from the low 60s at the coast to the upper 80s inland. so the warmth will be confined to the inland areas, far inland areas. as we take a look at what is predicted over the next two weeks, it's going to be cooler than average out west. so we're not expecting any heat waves any time soon. accuweather seven day forecast for rosh hashanah tomorrow evening. it will be nice at sunset but breezy and cooler so a good idea to make sure you have those extra layers that cooling trend will continue through the weekend and into monday. temperatures bottoming out below average for this time of year and then we'll slow to warm it up. and julian, a middle of next week, but it's not going to be anything hot as of right now. >> hard to believe summer is over. i know. >> can you believe that? but we do get fall warmth here in the bay area. >> we'll take it all right. yeah. appreciate it. >> things are looking up on wall street. the dow had its best day in more than a month. investors are optimistic after a series of

call it the wave. people who were invited to check it out at an event today seemed impressed . >> this can open so many opportunities. basically like to have more accessible alternatives to move around. hopefully like better prices because normally like accessible

transport is much more expensive. this is very exciting to the disability community. >> cruise provided this video of the wave which was designed over three years in cooperation with general motors. the autonomous car company hopes to launch it next year, starting with a pilot for a small group of users. >> gas prices are shooting up once again. san francisco now averaging 551 per gallon, up $0.10 in a week in oakland, triple a says it's 546. and san jose drivers are paying up. 542. triple a says a rise in oil prices once again driving up gas prices even though demand is down. we were just hours away from a possible strike by the united auto workers. the union's president is promising walkouts if there is no deal by midnight . it will be a strike against all three of the big three automakers at the same time. and that has never happened before. abc news reporter reena roy takes a look at what's at stake. >> the clock is ticking down to a potential strike by the almost

150,000 member united auto workers union. that could have a major impact on the us economy. >> for the first time in our history, we may strike all three of the big three at once. >> the union's president announcing plans to strike with no deal in sight, despite weeks of negotiations with the big three us carmakers, us, ford, gm and chrysler owner stellantis from cost of living allowance to wage increases. >> we do not yet have offers on the table that reflect a sacrifice and contribution, as our members have made to these companies. >> uaw members are calling for a 40% wage increase over the next four years, a figure they say matches with the ceos for the companies earned a return to pension plans. retiree health care and a four day workweek. >> it looks on paper like we're asking for a lot, but a lot of people have been left behind. >> union members pointing to a decade of record profits for the automakers and huge ceo salaries in their fight for a better contract.

>> i don't mind them making that money, but i think we need to take care of the employees. >> but the companies saying the union demands are unrealistic, especially as the industry struggles to transition to electric vehicles. >> we're literally fighting for the future of automotive manufacturing in our country. but we're optimistic we'll find a way forward. >> the deadline is at midnight. the union plans to strike at targeted auto plants across the country. reena roy, abc news, new york. >> coming up next, a look at the crackdown on illegal vending in san francisco's mission district leaders say it's a success. we talk to people on the street to find out if it's making a difference. also ahead. >> i didn't really know what

the increase in algal bloom is caused by what we dump into the ocean runoff fertilizer and climate change. so we're getting increased ocean temperatures, changes in ocean circulation. but also due to human influences. we're getting a lot more nutrients being dumped into the water. so all of this just creates a perfect storm, if you will, for these massive blooms. this has happened for decades in the warm waters off the florida coast, but we're seeing it more and more now in california. so within california, yes, we are getting some along the coast. it's a different species. and also within the freshwater bodies like salt and sea, pinto lake up north clear lake, we're seeing more and more species. >> some of these species have a very potent neurotoxin that can also cause health issues in humans, including breathing and gastrointestinal problems. unfortunately, it's working its way through the food chain. >> if you're having a harmful algal bloom that's developing clearly, as you said, other things are eating that, therefore then it trickles up the system to us. so that clearly shows that maybe you have an unhealthy ecosystem overall for the future.

>> scientists would love more satellites and tools to monitor what's happening here on earth. they say. unfortunately we don't know enough about what's happening in our own backyard. i'm carlos granda, abc7 news. >> coming up on abc7 news at six. we are looking ahead to the weekend and see sandia's seven day forecast

tropical storm warning from parts of massachusetts to maine for the next couple of days. the accuweather seven day forecast, we're talking about upper 80s inland tomorrow. how about mid and then low? you see where we're going here? it's all downhill. all right. but don't worry. >> wow. >> no, the weather is going to be mild inland, cool along the coastline. >> and then next week we will recover. not like our lives. come on. >> really selling it here, sandy . really selling it for us. >> just trying to make you picture where we're going. >> all right. all right. thanks, sandy. >> and speaking of all, downhill right there just writes itself. it doesn't it? it's a lot. it's boom. >> here we go. >> yeah. for. did you ever lose a bet? 40 niners quarterback brock purdy sport a new look today an iowa hawkeye big head oh that's nice yeah he lost a bet actually his first loss of

alex!

mateo, hey how's business? great. you know that loan has really worked wonders. that's what u.s. bank is for. and you're growing in california? -yup, socal, norcal... -monterey? -all day. -a branch in ventura? that's for sure-ah. atms in fresno? fres-yes. encinitas? yes, indeed-us. anaheim? big time. more guacamole? i'm on a roll-ay. how about you? i'm just visiting. u.s. bank. ranked #1 in customer satisfaction with retail banking in california by j.d. power.

brock purdy isn't big, doesn't have a huge arm, but he sees the field he processes. so quickly. that's a big factor in his efficiency. threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns in the rout of the steelers in the season opener. and one thing kyle shanahan has emphasized is that it's okay to throw the ball away if you have to live to fight on the next down. >> you know, it comes down to obviously decision making, being able to make decisions quick, make the right decision, and then obviously just being smart with the ball. you know, i feel like if you can just do those things and do it, you know, the play caller is asking of you and not doing too much, then i think you can help put the team in a successful position. and so not trying to be a superhero and do

everything but make the right decision every single play and do it consistently. and so to be able to just surrender for a play, it's sort of tough. like, man, i've got to throw the ball away and lose second down to play, third down now. so it's about playing smart with the ball. and if we have to punt and give it back to our defense like i'm all for it, you know, we got a great defense. so, you know, picking and choosing your battles with that, you see the swag there first down 40 niners at the rams on sunday giants game in denver tonight postponed because of rain and thunderstorms they'll make that up as part of a double header on saturday despite not playing the giants move into a tie for the final wild card spot in the nl because the reds lost and so did the diamondbacks. >> arizona visiting the new york mets bottom three bases loaded for brandon nimmo, a shot down the line. that's a double that scores a pair. and that actually was all the mets needed because in the fifth here it comes and there it goes. jeff mcneil, a two run home run to right mets help the giants out with an 11 one victory. all right. nba news. the league is just tired

of this dreaded load management. so they've implemented new rules for the upcoming season to ensure that star players actually play. among the changes, teams can't rest more than one all star player for a game unless there's a documented legitimate injury. they're also allowances for players like steph and lebron and chris paul , who are over the age of 35 and may need actual rest if teams violate the rules, the fines could reach $1 million per infraction. so the league is pretty serious about this. all right. this is fantastic. marshawn lynch, he's got a video series on amazon called in your city. this week. the former cal star visits an amish town in pennsylvania. i'm going to guess the people there never heard of beastmode before, but they all bonded during an interesting buggy ride. >> are you ready to ride amish style? >> you say amish style? yeah i see you got your little 30 twos on there, y'all. >> ooh, we have disc brakes. there's air shocks. it's full.
