area moving forward. >> finding solutions. this is abc seven news is now underway into a san francisco public works employee who you see there caught on video knocking over a street. >> vendors cart, sending its contents everywhere. good evening to you. i'm karina nova. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. you see these vendors on the streets of san francisco selling hot dogs and fruit, but you don't often see an interaction like this. a city employee knocking a cart to the ground. and when people saw this video, they wanted answers. >> abc seven news reporter lou pena went to the area where the incident happened to speak to vendors who say they want the city to intervene. and she joins us live from the newsroom now. lose >> that's right, chris. that's right. the san francisco public works department confirmed this was a food vending operation that took place on on sunday. they said the health department

directed them to impound carts, something that has been happening for over a month. street vendors said they feel mistreated. now gone viral. a san francisco public works employee can be seen pushing a street vendors cart condiments, onions, hot dogs and bell peppers end up on the ground while the worker can be seen picking up some of his cooking tools. >> vendors we purchase everything that we're selling. >> i have receipts of what i'm buying. we went to fisherman's wharf area where the incident took place and didn't find any street vendors up the street on pier 33. we met six of them selling hot dogs and fruit. they confirmed knowing that street vendor in the video and said public works employees have been confiscating many of their carts . >> pasado. >> so last month the city took six carts. in a statement, the city's public works department said their workers are trained on the escalating techniques and regarding the videos said in

part, we're still looking into what led up to that moment and the events that preceded. we strive to treat members of the public with respect act during permit enforcement operation. in this circumstance, we did not meet that threshold and we apologize. milka casimir said. they feel harassed and mistreated. she said this has happened before and showed us a video from another incident that happened a month ago, several times. it hasn't been the first time supervisor bonin's office denounced the act and confirmed that the city's street vending ordinance is there to check that people have receipts of items they're selling. but it doesn't include food at this point, we're still waiting on public works to issue their orders on how they're going to issue permits for food vending. >> so at this moment, there are no permanent food vendors in san francisco, so no one has permits not for selling food, no. there are food trucks that do have different permits, but like what you saw out there, like hot dog vendors, people selling fruit on the street out there, currently,

none of them are permitted by san francisco's department of public health said they do require a permit for street vendors to sell food in san francisco and added in part, the environmental health branch also issues permits to mobile food vendors to lower the risk of foodborne illness and protect public health, all permitted vendors display a current year decal premio de la ciudad. >> you would want a permit from the city. >> quiero un permiso. yes, i would. >> now, many of the vendors we spoke to said they want to get permits. they said that every time their carts get confiscated, they said they have to pay a $300 fine, something that's hard for them to make. they want the city to intervene. in the newsroom, luis pena, abc seven news. >> it's not an easy way to make a buck. luce is the public works employee going to continue working on food vending operations? have you heard? >> well, don, it's still unclear . the san francisco public works department said they are reviewing the video and investigating what led up to it and to the worker. and as to the

worker, they said that action will be taken once that investigation is finalized. so we will see. >> yeah, we'll follow up on that. luis, thank you very much. >> developing news now. negotiate oceans continue to prevent 75,000. kaiser permanente workers from going on strike. they could walk off the job tomorrow morning if their demands are not met. they want the hospital to address staffing shortages as well as what they call unfair labor practices. as kaiser says, the work of doctors and registered nurses should not be affected. but disruptions could include a wide variety of other hospital services. patients will feel an immediate impact, especially when they need lab work. >> diagnose astic imaging pharmacy vision care and so on. because most of the employees who are the bulk of those workers in those facility cities would be on strike. >> the union representing those kaiser employees says a walkout would take place from 6 a.m. tomorrow to 6 a.m. saturday, due

details about the tragic drownings that happened at a san jose daycare to children died at happy, happy daycare yesterday. >> a third was hospitalized and police spoke for the first time today about the investigation that's underway. now to abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes. it's a tragedy that has shocked the community. >> three children fell into this pool at a san jose home daycare. one was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. two drowned. we now know from the santa clara county coroner that there were two one year old girls, payton cobb from hollister and lillian hannon from san jose. >> this is the type of call that's the worst that a parent can receive as a department. we're going to investigate this. >> police were called to the scene after nine monday morning for a welfare check. it's not clear yet who made that initial call and how the children got into the pool. police say homicide detectives are investigate, waiting along with the department of family and children's services, the santa clara county district attorney's office confirmed with abc7 that they are reviewing the case to see if charges will be filed.

according to the department of social services, the home daycare center was licensed in january of 2021 to 2 women. the pool was noted as an off limits area in their license. christina andrews of morgan hill founded a nonprofit to teach kids survival skills in the water. it's named courtney's course after her young daughter, courtney, died in a friend's pool. >> i feel for those parents so deeply because i know firsthand what it feels like to lose a child to this, though, details are still not clear as to how the kids at the daycare got into the pool. >> andrews says it's critical that children learn survival skills in the water and pools are secure. there's a total difference between a fence around a pool and a pool fence. >> this is actually designed to keep children out it so cannot be climbed. >> but beyond just the fence, andrews says that homes need layers of protection. >> we open this door right now. it is going to be an obnoxiously loud noise that goes off immediately. >> other measures include a keypad on the gate leading into the backyard. also an automatic pool cover that covers the pool entirely. >> survival swim lessons is the last layer of protection aside

from cpr. but the last layer of protection that the child has, and that is not reliant on any human but the child themself. >> as for the investigation into that san jose daycare, police say it will take several months in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> police are searching for the driver who hit a pedestrian at fifth and market streets in san francisco last night, then took off. the pedestrian was then hit by a second car, an autonomous vehicle with no driver. she suffered serious injuries. abc7 news reporter suzanne fawn has more on this from the newsroom. suzanne cory rina cruz showed media dash cam video of the dramatic collision, but the company would not let us share the video with viewers so as not to compromise the police investigation. now, this incident was so serious, emergency crews had to use the jaws of life to save the person who was trapped under a driverless car that would not move. rescue crews work to secure the vehicle in place and extricate the victim quickly within three minutes, crews had

to use the jaws of life to free a pedestrian trapped underneath the cruz vehicle. on monday night. it's a first for police and fire departments involving a driverless car. >> the victim was found to be under the left rear wheel of the vehicle, according to police, a black sedan struck a woman crossing the street at fifth and market on monday night. >> immediately after that collision, an empty cruz car in the lane beside the sedan hit the same person this morning. cruz allowed abc seven news staff to review the video, but not record it nor share it. reporter gloria rodriguez describes what she saw in the dash cam. >> the black sedan hits the pedestrian very hard. it was just very graphic. the pedestrian then goes flying into the other lane, and that's when the av then hits a pedestrian. the video stops soon after that. so we can't tell how long the pedestrian is there on the ground with the av over on top of the pedestrian, we reached out to cruz asking for further clarify location. >> today, cruz says it's working with police in their

investigation. in a statement, it also said, quote, the av then braked aggressively to minimize the impact and at the request of the police, the av was kept in place. sam abuelsamid is an automotive technology analyst with guidehouse insights. he says that automated driving systems are constantly adding data. >> sometimes, though, things happen so quickly that there is simply nothing you can do. no matter how well you are tracking all of the other road users around you, abdul-samad says. >> a driverless car most likely could not have avoided the collision on monday night. >> the basic physics, i mean, when you have a 4,000 pound vehicle, it is inherently going to take a certain amount of time to stop and according to san francisco police, the woman who was struck is in serious condition at san francisco general hospital with multiple traumatic injuries. >> again, police are still looking for the driver of the black sedan involved in that initial collision. that driver left the scene after hitting the woman. live in the newsroom, suzanne fan abc seven news. suzanne, as you mentioned, we

know police are looking for the hit and run driver. but what could happen with cruz in the wake of this incident? well, the dmv is the agency in california that regulates the testing and permits for avs. now, all av companies are required to report crashes to the dmv for investigation. if the dmv finds that the av was at fault, they could modify or revoke a company's permit. but again, that does not sound like the situation for cruz in this incident. back to you. all right , suzanne. good to know. thank you so much. and earlier today on our 3 p.m. show, getting answers, we asked an expert to evaluate rate the collision and he said people are too quick to blame. autonomous vehicles and the need and they need to look at the bigger picture. you know, these pedestrians walking through intersection are so-called vulnerable road users and although there's a focus here on automated vehicle companies, what we really need is automated intersections that consider vulnerable road users

that can come into conflicts with vehicles, be they human driven or automated vehicles. >> whether or not the vehicle did what it needed to do. there's clearly a need to have smart intersections to protect vulnerable road users. live interviews like the one that you just heard happen every weekday at 3 p.m. you can watch getting answers live on abc7 on tv or wherever you stream. >> jury selection started today in the trial for ftx founder and former crypto billionaire sam bankman-fried. prosecutors say the bay area native cheated thousands of people who deposited cryptocurrency on the ftx exchange by illegally diverting massive sums of their money for his personal use. bankman-fried has pleaded not guilty to all he could face up to 110 years in prison. in a former federal prosecutor tells us what to expect. >> at the end of the day, i think what's important about this case is this is about bail

base level, garden variety fraud . it's about abuse of investor funds. it's really less about crypto, which has gone up and down just as investors payments generally have gone up and down . and it's more about the abuse of the money. the trial is taking place in new york city and is expected to last up to six weeks. >> a federal appeals court has ruled california can be held responsible for a 2020 covid outbreak at san quentin that sickened thousands of inmates and killed 29 people, including one corrections officer. a ninth circuit panel panel upheld a lower court's finding today. judges dismissed the state's argument seeking qualified immunity. 2000 people were infected within weeks after 122 inmates at high risk of complication were transferred from chico to san quentin. the suit was brought by the spouse of one inmate who died. >> happening tomorrow, be on the lookout for a nationwide test of the emergency alert system. at

their home, though, is on the streets pre-pandemic, contra costa county counted fewer than 2300 homeless residents. well, the last count last year topped 3000. that's a 34% increase. so what's being done about it? abc seven news reporter anzar hassan has some answers. >> housing advocates say people are suffering in silence in east contra costa county. >> i did not receive any support or any resources during the time me and my children were homeless. i had to pay for a hotel stays weekly on my own, agrees clayton shared her struggles on a panel discussion on homelessness and housing. >> she was joined by activists and city leaders from pittsburgh , antioch and brentwood. every city can do better. >> we do have to think about things on a regional and a state level. brentwood vice-mayor susanna meyer says her city raised the inclusionary rate for the number of affordable units that must be built in new developments to 13% and remove

in-lieu fees, which developers could pay. >> instead of building low income housing. >> the developments that are being currently built will actually have to stand to that. and so we will, as we get more build out coming in, we will be getting more affordable housing coming in as well. >> pittsburgh mayor chanel scales preston spoke of several new projects underway, such as this one for low income veterans. she says there is no shortage of construction around the city. the challenge is funding to build affordable housing. >> i think the hardest part is getting the funding. you know, it comes from all these sources from the federal government. the state, you know, the county, you know, your city, and then the nonprofit. and we're trying to figure out how to put all that funding together to build that housing. >> antioch mayor lamar thorpe says aside from the red tape, until there's better coordinated efforts, housing, the homeless will remain a big problem in antioch. >> we you know, we've invested in and bridge housing stabilized people getting them the wraparound services and then them getting them into housing. but i'm not sure we're all doing that. and so that's concerning

because we're going to continue to see an explosion of homeless people in our streets. >> housing advocates like the group a's, which is working in east contra costa county, says they're encouraged, but that more still must be done. >> we want to keep these conversations going because it does help in the long run. >> in pittsburgh, san hassan, abc7 news. >> all right, let's talk about the weather now. what did spencer say? heat week, fleet week. fleet week side. >> they kind of merge which actually spencer's great news, right? yeah, right, exactly. >> but aren't they the same right. they they rarely are. i should mention that often we look for blue skies for the blue angels. we have only fog. but not this time around. here's a look at what's the controlling factor in our weather. this huge , large area of high pressure centered just off shore. it'll be the dominant feature in our weather through most of this week. and of course, it's clockwise circulation there is going to bring us offshore winds which will contribute to the warming and the drying of the air as the winds flow downslope. right now, we're seeing low clouds being pushed away from the coastline. so it's going to

be a clear night and it's much warmer right now than at this time last night in most bay area locations, 5 to 9 degrees warmer. so you see the warming, the heat. i was talking about is already with us. here's a view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco under clear skies, 64 degrees here in the city right now excuse me, 70 in oakland, 72 in mountain view, 77. san jose, palo alto, 72. half moon bay, 57 at the golden gate. we have blue skies as well. of the temperature readings at this hour, 79 degrees in santa rosa. novato 81 napa 77 mid 80s at fairfield and concord and 81 at livermore and emeryville gives us a view of downtown oakland right now. also under blue skies and these are the forecast headlines. clear skies overnight. no cooling coastal clouds tonight it'll be warm along the coast the next few days. and hot along the bay shoreline. and in our inland areas. that'll be saturday, wednesday through saturday. and of course, that means heightened fire concerns. it also may mean near record high temperatures in

some locations tonight. no clouds, no coastal cooling, clear skies going into the early morning hours. so it'll be a sunny start to the day tomorrow. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the low 60s, which is pretty mild and maybe even uncomfortably mild if you're living in one of the warmer zones in the bay area. and if you don't have air conditioning, then tomorrow look for a sunny skies and mild to warm to almost hot conditions. highs of 77 and half moon bay, 82in san francisco, which is quite warm for san francisco around the bay shoreline, we'll see mid to upper 80s tomorrow, close to 90 in some spots and only low 90s inland. i say only low 90s because inland areas will be much, much warmer as we get later into the next seven days. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast thursday, friday and saturday. we'll see mid or even mid to upper 90s in our inland communities around the bay shoreline. upper 80s to about 90 and it's certainly likely 1 or 2 bay side locations

will top out above 90 degrees during that period of time, upper 70s to around 80 degrees on the coast, which i think is the region most likely to set. record highs coming up because it's rarely that warm. yeah, that's right. and as you can see , skies will be sunny here in san francisco right on through saturday. so great viewing conditions for the blue angels. perfect. it'll start to cool down on sunday into monday, but that's fine. we will have seen the blue angels by then. >> well, i'm just glad the blue angels can join us for heat week. yes >> yeah, exactly. i remember who said it first. stole your line. that was good. that was good, spencer. >> thank you. thank you. well, tomorrow, did you know is national taco day to celebrate taco bell will bring back its taco lovers pass for two days only people can buy the pass for $10 and get one free taco every day for 30 days. and chipotle may soon use robots to help workers make salads and bowls. the chain sent out this video showing how the automated system can be used to put together

line. general motors and ford have recently laid off 500 workers, blaming the expansion of the strike. >> and more labor news. the sag-aftra union will resume negotiations tomorrow with movie studio ceos. the two sides met yesterday. that was the first official meeting since actors went on strike back in july. actors are demanding a deal similar to the one with the studios that the wga writers recently negotiated. they want wage increases and artificial intelligence protections, and they also want to include video game performers under the same contract that the wall street journal says netflix is planning to raise the price of its ad free service once the actors strike ends. it's still unclear how much it will cost. netflix was the only streaming company not to raise prices in the past year, but the company did boost revenue by cracking down on password sharing. >> coming up next, history made in america. the speaker of the house, california republican kevin mccarthy, is out. plus

holidays. i would fully expect those to be on sale in october. john scout says 47% of holiday shoppers are looking for deals. >> sellers know that and will offer them up. so consider shopping early so you can get in on some of the pre-holiday holiday sales. i like to holidays are like i already feel the stress. >> yeah i mean it's not even halloween, right? just a little too early but kristen sze and i were talking about this. we like to go after the holidays and get the crazy clearance. yeah for next year. >> there you go. >> that's smart, because that's. they really. that is. all right. thanks, michael. >> yeah, well, warmer weather is in the forecast for this week. see what to expect,

i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications, like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but, i'm just the flu.” it's him! who? i'm just the flu! fight the flu with sanofi flu vaccines, which help prevent flu in older adults. they've even been shown to provide better protection from flu-related complications compared to standard dose flu shots. don't get fluzone high-dose quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your healthcare professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response.

this flu season, you do have a choice. choose the protection of a sanofi flu vaccine. ask your pharmacist or doctor which sanofi flu vaccine is right for you. we made it! bmo has arrived. hello? you said it. hello to more ways to save money, grow your wealth, grow your business. just what we needed, another big bank. not so fast. how many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month? he's got a good point. did i mention bmo has more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined? uh, b-m-o? just "bee-mo", actually. quick question, will all this stuff fit in your car? ( ♪ ) should i get rid of the mug? ♪ bmo ♪

other risk that homeowners may not fully appreciate. >> abc7 news weather anchor spencer christian is back with the details. >> okay, karina and dan, as you might have guessed, the threat is climate related specifically damaging floods that most people are not insured for. you could say leanne mcginley has san francisco bay for a next door neighbor, a newly completed section of seawall sits just a

few hundred feet away from her front door in foster city and the multi-million dollar upgrade means leanne and her neighbors will not be required to purchase flood insurance, which can run hundreds of dollars or more. >> i am retired and of course that's a fixed income right now. i would probably be all right tapping into savings, but no one wants to do that. >> but balancing the cost of flood protection and flood insurance can be an increasingly expensive challenge for communities around the bay area. climate change is predicted to drive increasing sea level rise and ultra wet storm cycles known as atmospheric rivers, leaving thousands of families woefully unprepared. an abc7 news data team analysis found more than 300,000 homes and businesses around the rim of san francisco bay have an 80% chance of flooding over the next 30 years and still nearly 90% of homeowners may not have flood insurance. >> more people are going to need it. more people need it now. we know that, you know, last winter

when california saw those deluges and a lot of people had losses and damage, there was a lot of eye opening. wow. i didn't realize that i could flood. >> amy bach directs the consumer nonprofit united policyholders. she says the numbers reflect a growing strain on the state's insurance system from natural disasters, including floods, wildfires and earthquakes. with the current patchwork of public and private coverage struggling to spread the risk. >> the way things are going, we are going to have to have some kind of a federal disaster insurance program, just like we created the affordable care act and we said these are the essential benefits that an insurer must provide and insure cannot reject somebody who has a preexisting condition. i think we're going to have to get there with property. >> last month, governor gavin newsom signed an executive order designed to stabilize the state's property insurance market, potentially allowing insurers to factor the future risk from climate change into their rates while the

complicated market continues to shake itself out, leanne mcginley is grateful for a bit of breathing room from the new seawall, at least where flood insurance is concerned. >> i was originally for the project and even more so now i think the future is very important not only for me and my family but for other generations. and this is important for that protection. >> now you can also go to abc7 news.com to check your neighborhoods. flood risk in the decades moving forward. we'll also have links to interactive maps showing other climate change threats as well, including wildfires. right now we're going to look at our current weather which is warming up. we've got clear night coming our way in the absence of a marine layer overnight lows won't drop very low with temperatures. low temperatures mainly around 60 to 62 degrees. and tomorrow's highs under mainly sunny skies will be quite high. upper 70s, close to 80 along the shore, the coastline around the bay shoreline and mid to upper 80s inland areas will

warm up to only low 90s, but i say only because later this week it will be much warmer than that. inland areas thursday, friday and saturday, as you can see on the accuweather seven day forecast will be in the mid 90s, perhaps even a few upper 90s right around the bay shoreline. look for upper 80s to about 90 degrees and on the coast upper 70s to around 80. it'll start to cool off a little bit on sunday . then monday, columbus day the cooling will continue. and by the way, if you're interested in the blue angels air show, definitely interested. oh yeah, sunny skies, clear skies, no fog, nothing to obscure the. your view. >> perfect. yes. yes >> great. thanks, spencer. >> okay. on to sports director larry beil. >> yeah, we'll try to figure out what the giants are up to now that they're looking for a new manager. i'm going to try to help the giants because clearly they need it. plus, the warriors. they've started training camp and we'll see chris, paul and steph curry on the court together from the jump on saturday - i'm sherry - and i'm john. i'm a pharmacist. as we were starting to age,

it's like, well how can we help our cognitive abilities? we saw prevagen. i did read the clinical study and went ahead and gave it a try. i feel that prevagen is helping me with overall clarity and as a pharmacist, i've recommended it to, not only just customers, but also to friends and family as a safe product to try. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd.

i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you've been diagnosed with amd and notice vision changes, don't wait. ga is irreversible. it's important to catch it early. talk to your eye doctor about ga and learn more at gawontwait.com how do we decide what hotel to book? fear not, i got you. choice hotels has a hotel for every type of stay. like a comfort with the kiddos. spacious! that's what they all say.

with friday. and today, the president of baseball operations, farhan zaidi, met the media discussing the path forward. they'll look at candidates inside and outside the organization, look, they can make it really easy. just hire longtime giants coach ron wotus widely respected in the organization. does right? well, all right. what exactly is farhan looking for? >> we want somebody who can be an effective recruiter and add,

you know, as we go into free agency and, you know, again, i think we like every organization we want to sort of build a brand of players wanting to come here and play here. and i think the manager is a big part of that. so you know, there are guys who don't have managerial experience , but maybe they just ended long playing careers and they have relationships and they can be effective recruiters and be sort of attractive leaders for players. but that's definitely going to factor into it. >> coincidentally, bruce bochy would still look nice in orange and black, don't you think? now guiding texas game one of the wild card round. farhan might want to sign. randy arozarena's mom, sandy. she threw a perfect strike. raises tyler glasnow look out got hit in the leg by a comebacker in the fifth. did stay in the game, but just moments after that uncorks the very wild pitch with the bases loaded, allowing corey seager to score. so it's two nothing rangers at that point in the sixth seager lines to center

jose siri siri, can you make this play? siri says no. so high bounce and then siri says, i'm throwing it away. so two more score. the rangers take home field advantage from tampa bay with a four nothing win in what is a best of three series. how about the jays and twins? former giant kevin gausman on the mound for toronto royce lewis at the plate. hi deep aloha means goodbye two run homer to left twins take a two nothing lead in the first third inning same matchup, same result. but this time lewis goes oppo taco to right the twins take game 131 snapping an 18 game postseason losing streak. all right. we're going to get our first look at new warrior chris paul in the starting lineup. when the dubs open the preseason against the lakers saturday at chase center and an easy decision to put cp3 in there with draymond green nursing a sprained ankle, he figures to be out for several weeks missing training camp. i tell you what, when i saw this video this afternoon, i got really pumped up just thinking

about the possibilities with steph curry and cp3 working together a little two man game right here. you've got two future hall of famers who can both initiate the offense. they can both create their own shots. coach steve kerr on his pre-season plans to experiment with his lineups. we want our starters. >> okay. >> yeah. >> those five guys will will start the first game. you know, so it can tweet that out. it'll be a great talking point around the water coolers, i guess. but but as i said in camp, we're going to try a lot of different lineups. and throughout the exhibition season. so you know, they'll start the first game and we'll see after that. >> so steph klay, cp3, kevon looney, andrew wiggins with figure to start and we'll see you know it's nice to have a lot of talented players to choose from. sure and they signed last

week rudy gay, who's a veteran that come off the bench and score. so it's going to be fascinating just to see how steve kerr blends all of these talents together and not everybody's going to be able to play as many minutes as they're accustomed to, but it's a good problem to have. >> yeah, when you have that many good players. yeah, yeah. we'll take it. yes. >> what if what if steph curry manages the giants? now? there's an idea. he does everything he's great at everything else. >> i think he's kind of busy. >> i don't know. larry. >> larry. still on notice? okay, coming up tonight on abc seven at eight, catch dancing with the stars. then at 10:00, watch the golden bachelor and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. and remember for abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. you can get the abc seven bay area app and that's it for this edition of abc seven news. i'm karina nova and i'm dan ashley for spencer christian review. >> all of us here, we appreciate your time. have a great evening and we'll see you again at 11
