news reporter lauren martinez asked a legal expert to evaluate the case. >> the owners of a san jose home daycare where two toddlers drowned are facing felony child endangerment charges. the santa clara county district attorney's office says criminal negligence led to the fatal drownings of two one year old girls in the backyard pool. >> many times, prosecutors don't want to compound a tragedy like this by filing criminal charges. but this is very different than the backyard accident that happens with a drowning. what you have here is the highest duty of care to these children because they were at a daycare. the da's office says a mother and her adult daughter owned happy, happy daycare. >> detectives outlined a timeline of events on sunday, october 1st. an employee called out of work on monday. the daughter was the only caretaker since her mother was at another daycare. according to the investigator, when the mother's husband normally waters plants

by the pool, it stated, quote, while doing so, he propped open the pool gate with a clothes hanging rack. he failed to close the gate after watering the plants. the allegation say while the daughter was making breakfast that she let the girls and a two year old boy into the rear patio play area. unsuper revised and out of her side and with access to the open gate, at least five minutes later is when she discovered the boy unconscious in the pool and then called for help for the girls. >> so it's not just one violation, but a number of problems at the daycare that compounded this tragedy. and i think that will be key. it's possible the da's office could look at filing homicide charges. >> pool safety advocates say better state regulations are needed. >> the like science requirements for daycare or home daycare operations with pools or open water are nominal at best. parents should take a really

good, hard, long look at what happened here because, again, this is not just about the daycare operators. this is about a system that enables these daycare operators to exist in the first place. >> the two women are due in court in december in san jose. lauren martinez, abc seven news. in pinole some residents did not have water service friday after a water main break caused this large sinkhole. >> officials blocked off the area near buxton road which also saw some flooding. the fire department in east bay mud crews responded. and now an update for you this morning. the sinkhole is now fixed and water service was restored around 430 this morning. and in oakland, the city is one step closer to getting a new police chief. the time frame for applicants to submit their application is now over. that's according to the east bay times. the police commission hired an outside firm to lead the search for a new chief after the firing of former chief leronne armstrong, a

publicized list of candidates included armstrong, whose name along with six other candidates, is new developments. a woman accused of killing an elite cycling from san francisco tried to escape this week. caitlin armstrong is accused of shooting and killing mariah wilson in her austin home. then leaving to costa rica in 2022. and this week, authorities say armstrong ran from corrections officers when leaving a doctor's appointment on wednesday. she was caught shortly after. armstrong's trial is scheduled for later this month. and right now, a stretch of highway 101 is shut down for the entire weekend. this affects only the northbound lanes of 101 between the whipple avenue and britton avenue, exits between redwood city and san carlos. that closure is going to last until monday at 5:00 in the morning, the weekend closure will allow caltrans to finish replacing the cordilleras creek bridge. and three weeks, that's how long repairs of the richmond-san rafael bridge toll plazas, canopy and safety components will take the repairs, follow a big rig crash and fire monday night. that crash killed a truck

driver. right now, the three far right westbound lanes at the toll plaza will remain closed to traffic through october. all right. a lot more coming up. let's check in with lisa. >> all right. our beginning phase of the eclipse. happening now. you'll notice the light getting a little funny in the next less than an hour, especially around santa cruz and the south bay where you have some sunshine. so kind of exciting despite the cloud cover . and we'll talk about a near average day to day with some better sunshine, unfortunately, towards the afternoon and that with a warm up for the week ahead next. >> it sounds good. lisa, thank you. also ahead on abc7 mornings , one more reason to slow down on the road. how a new law is holding speeding drivers accountable if they go over the speed limit. plus costumes, pies and a whole lot of pumpkins. we are getting ready for the annual half moon bay pumpkin fest. what to expect for that beloved event on the peninsula this morning

area qualcomm in san francisco based flexport plan to lay off hundreds of workers, according to the sf chronicle. qualcomm will cut about two and one half percent of its more than 50,000 employees. about 194 workers based in santa clara will be affected. a notice sent to the state says the cuts will begin in december. this is the company's second round of cuts. this year. in may, they laid off more than 80 people in the south bay and software startup flexport announced it would also lay off about 20% of its workforce. that's nearly 700 of their reported 3500 employees. it's unclear how many local positions would be affected by the layoffs as employees have reached a tentative agreement with kaiser permanente. after seven months of negotiation and a three day strike. the deal includes higher wages with a 21% pay increase over the next four years. the minimum wage is set at $25 in california, with $23 in other states. there's a

commitment to on the job training so employees can advance their careers. people under this tentative agreement can rightfully expect to make real economic progress in real terms, which is really important right now. >> this new contract will actually help us continue to have some of the best employees in health care acting us secretary of labor julie su is at the bargaining table. >> the unions represent 85,000 workers. they're going to vote on whether to ratify the contract contract next week. and new this morning, an incentive to slow down speeding drivers. governor gavin newsom signed a bill into law which will allow the use of speed cameras. so this means drivers going at least 11mph over the speed limit will be issued. automated speeding tickets, bay area cities, including san francisco, oakland and san jose will be part of the pilot programs. oakland mayor shengtao released a statement supporting the move. she says in part quote, i am grateful the state legislature and the governor recognize the value of this tool in our

celebrating responsibly and having a good time. >> the festival starts at 9 a.m. and lasts until 5 p.m. officials suggest people get there early to avoid heavy traffic delays. so the weather not necessarily serving us for the eclipse today here in the bay area, but hopefully, lisa, maybe for the people going to the pumpkin festival on the coast, it will. >> yeah, that's true. you know, the light is going to get a little funny about an hour from now when we get into peak darkness. yes. even with the cloud cover, some of you may notice that. but certainly the cold front messing things up for us. timing is everything, right? and looking at a good deal of cloud cover and even a few sprinkles up in the north bay. so here's live doppler seven and you notice much of northern california obscured there, the san joaquin valley, parts of the central coast. much better viewing. and as we get in closer , a couple of raindrops far to the north. mount saint helena is where our sweep is. and this is a look from our east bay hills camera, where you can see how gray it is out there. so with all the cloud cover overnight, certainly mild, 60 degrees

downtown, 63 in oakland with 59 in mountain view, 61. san jose, palo alto 57, 60 one half moon bay and the raindrops at about 2300ft. mount tam temperatures just in the low 50s here, 59. santa rosa, 61in novato 63 napa and fairfield. and so when we do get a little sun this afternoon, temperatures are going to come up, but it'll be mainly in the east bay and south bay north bay. a few peeks here and there, 57 in livermore and kind of a neat view isn't this of san jose with some cloud cover and you can see some clear spots there so the lights getting kind of funky the way it's lit out there in the next hour or so due to that eclipse, make sure you have those goggles or those special glasses if you're checking it out. sprinkles in the north bay, clouds thinning out in the afternoon, particularly east and south, and then warmer days arriving tuesday through friday. we're talking well above average. again, here's what's going to happen. happening now now is obscuring the sun. the

moon here at 920, 77, maximum eclipse and it ends at 1042. so unfortunately, not seeing a whole lot of it. but some of you may certainly notice a change out there as we go through the morning hours, getting into partly cloudy conditions throughout the later afternoon, the clouds come back for your sunday morning, sunday afternoon . soon we are warmer and we're going to see some sunshine as well. temperatures will be on the other side of 80 degrees for sunday, then back to a few degrees cooler as a cold front gets close here by mid day on monday, 3:00. but really missing us, perhaps parts of sonoma and santa rosa picking up a few raindrop pops. but after that, we're going to warm up considerably. this is sunday day, a warmer day, low 80s inland, mid 70s over in oakland and then we drop off a few degrees for monday with more cloud cover and then by tuesday we're going to begin that warming trend with with high pressure building in for the rest of the week. 72 in oakland, 70 in napa, 75. in fremont, san

jose, 78. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at that warmer sunday but still some sun out there today monday a few sprinkles north bay and then here comes more october warmth tuesday particularly wednesday and thursday upper 80s maybe some 90s 70s at our beaches still not quite as hot as that week before. no no but open the windows should be nice out there. >> okay we will do that. lisa, thank you so much. hey, a reminder that you can get our live newscast, breaking news, weather and more with our new abc7 bay area streaming tv app on apple tv. google tv, fire tv and roku. just be sure to search abc7 bay area and download it and stick with us ♪ jardiance ♪ ♪ it's a little pill with a big story to tell. ♪ ♪ i take once-daily jardiance, ♪

an espn college gameday anchors rece davis and kirk herbstreit preview week seven matchups from the gameday set in seattle, washington. >> picturesque senior red square

on the campus of the university of washington, rece davis and kirk herbstreit great tripleheader on abc. starting with syracuse and florida state. florida state gets big leads, lets teams back in it, and then finds ways to finish games. >> that's a great point and it's fair. i think if florida state is trying to go into this territory of being a legitimate playoff contender, these are the weeks. there's not a lot of fanfare, not a lot of excitement. you've got to be careful. you've got to show maturity and being able to handle becoming that hunted team. to me, i'm i'm in on florida state, but i really learn as much about them in a week like this where they're expected to win big. we're going to learn a lot about oregon and washington, both prolific offenses, a game you'll call on abc. >> yeah, fired up for this one. >> it's 330 on abc. and again, two of the better quarterbacks right now. the way they're executing in the country, this is a very different game as far as what's at stake and the defense is, with all due respect to their opponents, they have neither offense has seen what they'll see this saturday. and then in prime time miami and north carolina, canes coming off one of the most embarrassing

losses in school history. >> and the heels still unbeaten. >> yeah, we could go. everybody is talking about, wow, we got some new faces in the in the acc with florida state and miami and north carolina. well miami all of a sudden is now out for now. and they got a chance to step away from a bad taste in their mouth after the way last week ended and they're playing drake maye and this carolina team just seems to get better each week. >> just a great at tripleheader on abc highlight by the game that will be here in seattle between oregon and washington. you will not want to miss that one had it to be a big day. >> all right. well, there are more online sites to book hotel rooms than ever before. so we're asking the question, why does it seem like all the prices are the same? seven on your side's michael finney has been looking into that and tells you the few ways left to get a deal. >> searching online for a great hotel room rate has become an obsession for many travelers. so bay area consumers checkbook decided to look at those deal sites and see what they would find after doing 2000 searches. >> we found basically we were,

for the most part, wasting our time that most of the prices we saw over and over again, no matter which website we went to, whether we called the hotel desk directly, whether we visited the hotel's website, did a quick check this morning looking to book a room at the fairmont in san francisco for two days later this month at the hotel's website. >> the price. was $371.50 a night. a travel ocity $0.50 more at $372 and a kayak which promises to check hundreds of sites. the price was the same $372. >> most of those websites are owned by one of two companies. one is expedia, the other is booking holdings. and they, together with hotels, have come up with agreements that essentially say they're all going to charge the same prices for the same stays across all the different booking platforms as yesterday i was talking with tourists visiting san francisco. >> so when i ran into a dallas man in the hotel business, he

confirms those arrangements. they said there was no difference in prices anymore, which is absolutely correct. why is that? because as the brands dictate that to us, we can't have different price points to different websites. now there are a handful of ways to get a discount. one is to book a nonrefundable hotel room a bit risky, but there are discounts of around 10. you can sign up for a loyalty program at a hotel, which sometimes can get you a 10% discount. costco travel has discounted rooms, but it is fairly limited checkbooks. brasler says the best prices are the mystery deals found on priceline and hotwire, where you don't know the exact hotel until after you have booked and paid. >> the reason i think these these deals are worth looking at is that it was the only way we significantly cut our costs on average, we found that booking one of these mystery deals saved us about 25 to 30% off. most our

stays. >> i'm michael finney. seven on your side. >> still to come on abc seven mornings, we're following the news in the middle east. we hear from an israeli military spokesperson who says hamas is preventing evacuations in northern gaza. then, controversy over a drag queen mural. how a local artist is responding after someone painted over his mural in san francisco there it is. that feeling you get... when you can du more with less asthma.

it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. can you picture it? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. who knows what you can do when you du more with less asthma. ask your asthma specialist about dupixent.

news. good morning to you. >> i'm zach fuentes. we're starting this half hour with a look at the weather. here's meteorologist lisa argen. good morning to you. good morning, zach. >> we are pretty cloudy out there. a few raindrops on top of mount tam. but what a dramatic view from our oakland airport. look at the cloud cover here. and the lighting there. so interesting, isn't it? peak darkness at 920 with the eclipse. it is 61 degrees in san francisco, 63 in oakland with low 60s in san jose and half

moon bay. and here's a look at some sunshine not only in san jose, the tri valley. you could see a little bit of that as well as we're partly cloudy there, 59, santa rosa, 61 in nevada, 63 by the delta, very mild due to all the cloud cover. as much as 17 degrees warmer where we have a few raindrops in santa rosa, nine degrees warmer. san carlos. so there is the mostly cloudy sky. 9:00 it is gray. but then by 12 1:00, we're breaking out into sun east bay, south bay. even the north bay may get a few peeks of sun. upper 70s inland low 70s around the bay shore and even the pumpkin festival will brighten up throughout the afternoon. we'll have some clouds visit us again tonight. a warmer sunday, another cold front on monday and a big warm up for the week ahead. zach, lisa, thank you. >> developing news, israel's military gave people in northern gaza a six hour window to safely evacuate to the southern part of gaza. that window closed. that ended at 4 p.m. local time,

which was about two hours ago. and right now, thousands of people are rushing to safely get out of northern gaza. but the israeli military says hamas is trying to stop people from evacuating. you know, we'll have to assess the situation on the ground, see how many civilians are left in the area, understand how many of them have been blocked by hamas from actually evacuating. >> and we've seen active efforts by hamas to block these people from leaving, which i think is appalling at a whole a whole new level. and once we'll see that the situation will be permissible for significant combat operations, then they will commence. >> the advisory to evacuate comes amid signs israel is set to ramp up its offensive against hamas. the total number of deaths since fighting erupted last weekend is now more than 3500. israel says it has also killed around 1500 hamas militants. as of this morning, 27 americans have been killed and 14 are missing. and as our nation watches the situation escalate abroad, leaders across

the us are ramping up security in their cities. cnn news reporter emily schmidt tells us how other major cities are staying prepared. >> in new york city friday, those at pro-israel rallies speaking their message. you support terror. >> pro palestinian rally goers doing the same. >> israel you can hide across the city, there were signs of worry. other expressions could prove more violent. >> while there is no credible threat and everybody is urging new yorkers to go about their business, we are very prepared and very much deployed. >> new york city visibly upped its security presence in its transit systems and outside of places of worship. >> nobody should have to worry about going to school or work or recreation for their own safety because of anti semitic violence in washington, extra security surrounds the us capital. >> a jewish day school in nearby rockville, maryland, canceled classes friday after the israeli

embassy warned of potential violence, even though there were no direct threats to the school. the more we learned about the attack, the more horrifying it becomes. president joe biden speaking in philadelphia about the economy, began by talking about his friday call with us families who have loved ones still unaccounted for after attacks by hamas in israel. >> we're not going to stop until we bring them home. the us state department said friday. >> more than 20,000 us citizens have reached out about the israel-hamas war since saturday, though not all have looked for direct help leaving israel. it's a reminder how many americans are impacted by the violence away and at home. i'm emily schmidt reporting. >> and there may be tough conversations for parents and kids as it relates to this war. and we want to make sure you have helpful ways to approach the topic. so on our website, we uploaded a full page of ideas and videos and workshops to get that conversation going. you can get there by going to abc7 news.com/take action and

house floor. 55 members said they would not. >> house republicans have chosen to triple down on the chaos, triple down on the dysfunction and triple down on the extremism in the wake of the attack on israel, lawmakers are growing more frustrated over the chaos in the house. >> without a speaker, no legislative business can move forward, meaning no aid to israel or ukraine. this as congress stares down another spending deadline mid november that could lead to a government shutdown. >> it's 4% of the conference with all the democrats that want this chaos. >> that was abc's em nguyen reporting. well, california's newest senator, laphonza butler, made her first official appearance in los angeles. she's finishing out the term of the late dianne feinstein. butler was at the royal school of film and television production magnet, which teaches students from underserved communities

they're struggling to understand why a study by the american cancer society found women between 35 to 54 were diagnosed at a higher rate of men the same age over a 20 year period. experts say there's a common perception that lung cancer happens only in older men who have smoked for decades. a lack of understanding about the gender trend is helping fuel a push for more funding to launch more studies. and in the north bay, a nonprofit is finding success renting shared homes to people who were once unhoused and highlighting solutions to

parts of the bay area. you'll be able to see it. if you look up at the sky around 930 this morning, you'll see about 70% of the sun covered by the moon. this is also known as the ring of fire. and experts, they recommend you look through special eclipse glasses or by using the shade from trees. the eclipse started at the top of the hour when the moon blocked the sun during its orbit. it's expected to last three hours. and we want to take you now to a live feed of that ring of fire eclipse. many places around the nation are posting what they can see from their cameras. i believe this shot is from roswell, new mexico, right now. so we're going to continue to follow this view because there's not too much for us to see here in the bay area. as lisa's been telling us, this morning. but we'll have our live stream up, our 24 hour, 24 over seven live stream show will be streaming a live feed of the eclipse. kind of like what you're seeing right now. and lisa, i think it's really neat seeing this in whatever capacity we can see it in because weather's not really showing up for us here in the bay area to be able to experience it the way others are getting to. it's so true.

>> south san jose, inland valley, san joaquin valley, the best viewing in lubbock, texas. and then another 1 in 2023 were dallas, texas will get the best view of a total lunar eclipse. so right now it is underway. 920 maximum eclipse. so some areas might be a little bit darker out there. you will be able to notice that. and then it ends at 1042. such a bummer with all the cloud cover here, but we are all looking at the raindrops. that's what we're somewhat interested in, even though it's a very, very weak system. it is kind of washing out overhead and live doppler seven, picking up on just a few rain showers there. mt. tam, that's where we're watching instead. and since we can't see the eclipse, you can see how drippy it is where temperatures have been quite mild overnight with 61 san francisco and san jose, half moon bay, 61, 63 in oakland. temperatures in palo alto, upper 50s and some sunshine here in san jose. pretty view where numbers in the north bay upper 50s santa rosa had a few raindrops a few showers. there

63 novato and fairfield with livermore coming in at 58 concord at 6056 here. santa cruz a high of about 70 and variable amounts of cloud cover throughout the day today but a better chance of seeing some sun to the south of us. to the east of us. so that's what we have this afternoon. and then looking at our warmer days arriving tuesday through friday, we're talking well above average as high pressure builds in quickly behind a second front coming in on monday. so there is the cloud cover as it thins out. not too bad. this afternoon, right? partly cloudy and then the clouds move back in overnight. sunday is going to be a bit warmer once again, a mix of clouds and sun out there. and then as we get into monday, tracking a front that is still well to the north of us throughout the middle of the day, maybe a few raindrops. sonoma, again, partly cloudy for inland valleys and tracking the warmth all week long throughout, i should say tuesday through the end of the week, you can notice

the beginning of the week cooler than average tomorrow, though, a bump up in readings. and when you see san francisco in the 80s, you know it's going to be warm. we've got that for wednesday and thursday. looks to be peak heat. we are around average today with temperatures right around 70 degrees. downtown and in our inland valleys, upper 70s, 78 for you today in san jose, looking at about 70 with more clouds hanging on longer. and in santa rosa and napa pumpkin festival mid 60s there with partly cloudy skies. the accuweather seven day forecast so our chance of sprinkles not too great out there ending throughout this morning and then by tomorrow a little warmer mid 80s a little cooler monday another weak front and then tuesday we'll warm up slightly. but it's wednesday and thursday where we get all that warmth really all around the bay watching for some breezy winds, elevated fire danger and then looks cooler for next weekend. >> okay. we always look ahead to the weekend, right? >> yeah, even on the weekend. >> even on the weekend. we got a
