officially coming to an agreement to sell their portion of the coliseum. the african american sports and entertainment group is paying the a's $125 million. >> abc7 news reporter ryan curry spoke with a group that will soon have full control of the land. >> the african american sports and entertainment group is one step closer to turning the oakland coliseum into a housing and entertainment hub. >> this really gives us a chance to get down into the details of exactly how this development will work. >> the group's founder and manager, ray bobbitt, announced a tentative deal with the a's to buy the team's interest of the coliseum for $125 million. bobbitt's group recently purchased the city's half just last week for $105 million. >> this unlocks the opportunity to actually move development forward sooner. you know, obviously, you know, this site has had an undivided interest for so long and hasn't been owned by one entity since its existence. >> the a's are leaving to west sacramento next year. this is their last season at the

coliseum, and with ray and his group now gaining full control of this site, the question is, how soon will we see changes? >> when you look at it in phases, you might start with the arena and say the arena could be a centerpiece to what they call sports and entertainment tourism, like you have in la life, where the staples center is the center point, you have the restaurants around it. however, not everyone is thrilled with this sale. >> the oakland police officers association is concerned over how the a's got more money than the city. >> i don't recall seeing the city ever come out and saying, what's the value of the property? is and that's another concern to me, that the a was able to sell it for $125 million in the city of oakland and sell it for $105 million. >> bobbitt says the a's half was always going to cost more, because the a's invested more into the site. >> the reason why it was different is not because it was a fundamental difference between each side negotiating better than the other. it was just having to take into consideration what the a's had already put in as the focus shifts towards redevelopment, both sides say whatever happens

should be about the improvement of oakland. it's very hard to be anything but excited about it from a regional perspective and from a cultural and historic perspective. >> the sale still needs approval by the county board of supervisors, but bobbitt expects them to sign off on the deal in oakland. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> a federal court found that google has an illegal monopoly in internet search, a decision that could change the way we navigate the internet. the judge ruled. google is in violation of antitrust laws by requiring its search engine to be the default on android smartphones. a separate proceeding will determine what remedies should be applied to increase competition. the justice department also has antitrust lawsuits against apple, amazon and meta. >> well, really rough day on wall street and in markets all around the world as stock prices went plummeting downward today, the dow closed down more than 1000 points. that's the worst single day of trading in two years. and that, along with friday's job report fueling fears that the u.s. could

possibly fall into a recession. here's abc news reporter melissa oden. >> right from the opening bell. stocks plunging the dow down 1000 at the start. the s&p 500 also falling sharply and signs of a slowing u.s. economy is sending a signal across the globe. the selloff starting in asia, japan's nikkei plunged 12%, its worst day since the black monday crash in 1987. investors reacting to friday's stock declines here and the news. the u.s. employment rate hit 4.3%. >> that is historically low joblessness. but it does show that joblessness has increased increased more than half a percent since january, when unemployment was 3.7%, something that doesn't usually happen when the economy is healthy. a rise like that is historically a sign that a recession is imminent. >> many tech stocks leading the downturn today mainly companies relying on artificial intelligence trade like alphabe,

amazon, meta, microsoft and tesla. >> there's a broad array of companies that are eventually going to make money in artificial intelligence, but for right now, it's very narrow. >> economic experts say all this signals an interest rate cut coming from the federal reserve to fend off a recession, a cut in interest rates would also help those looking to get a mortgage or car loan. the fed is set to meet again next month. melissa don, abc news, los angeles. >> a driver died this afternoon near the bay bridge toll plaza when their vehicle slammed into the rear of a big rig. video of the crash on eastbound 8-80 shows a honda sedan wedged into the back of the big rig. the front windshield was completely shattered. the deceased driver was the only person in the car. the driver of the big rig was not injured. in the south bay, san jose police are remembering one of their own killed trying to keep others safe. today, police identified the community service officer killed by a

suspected drunk driver and share new details about the suspect's criminal history. police identified the fallen officer as long pham, who graduated from the academy less than two years ago. the crash happened late saturday night on monterey road near palm avenue. pham and his partner was standing behind their patrol car, managing traffic around an unrelated crash. police say the suspected drunk driver smashed into their patrol car, which then hit the officers. pham died at a hospital the other officer is still in the hospital dealing with a dislocated shoulder, a broken jaw, fractured ribs and a brain bleed. police say the 44 year old driver, who has prior arrests for dui, was arrested at the scene for dui and manslaughter. >> the decision by this individual to get behind the wheel while intoxicated is disgraceful. his decision and actions put the public and the people protecting the public in grave danger. his careless disregard for human life was both blatant and callous.

>> this is the first time a san jose community service officer has died in the line of duty. >> well, it's happened again. a group of dirt bike riders taking over the streets in san francisco, running stop signs and witnesses say putting people at risk. the big question here is, is anything being done to stop this? abc seven news reporter suzanne vaughn joining us live in the newsroom with what she found out. suzanne. >> larry, many of us have seen them. many of us have heard them here in san francisco, circling around people we talked to say it's dangerous, but the riders keep getting away with it. >> it's just a block up there. up lombard tree at the bottom of the curvy street. >> sonny iqbal couldn't believe what he saw sunday night at lombard and leavenworth streets in san francisco. >> it was probably 15 plus of actual, bikers. >> iqbal captured video of the bikers coming down lombard street just before 6 p.m. >> the bikers are coming down the hill and they're just honking and then this happened.

that's when i seen the one, two, three bikers starting to circle, and doing wheelies and kind of just burning rubber around the officer there, a handful of bikers circles, an officer who's there to help direct traffic. i just found it interesting that it would happen with a officer. there are definitely antagonizing. >> iqbal said no police ever showed up. no one was arrested. tourists who saw the video of the bikers find it hard to believe they're a little crazy. >> i don't know what to say, but they were doing it just up there. it was the same guys i saw yesterday on fisherman's wharf. >> we showed bernard guettel's the video of the bikers at lombard street. he and his family are visiting from belgium and were shocked by what they saw at fisherman's wharf. he even got pictures of it. >> motocross cycles, who were masked, didn't wear helmets, but you couldn't recognize their faces and they were doing all wheelies, on the footpath and bringing the tourists and danger. >> iqbal and other san francisco

residents say they've seen and heard the rowdy bikers before along the embarcadero, on the bay bridge and by the palace of fine arts. >> people can just kind of get away with stuff. >> all the activity raises questions and concerns. >> i was actually thinking, why on earth are they not being stopped by the police? >> this afternoon, the san francisco police officers association released this statement saying, quote, san francisco police officers would like nothing more than to arrest each and every individual shown wreaking havoc on our streets in those videos. if we had the number of officers we should have, you would have seen a lot more of those bullies in cuffs. and a chp spokesperson told me they have seen motorcyclists doing wheelies and doing donuts on the golden gate bridge, and they have arrested some of those riders for reckless driving, impeding traffic, unlawful assembly and exhibition of speed. live in the newsroom suzanne phan abc seven news. >> suzanne. thank you. homeless encampment sweeps are now happening every day at several locations. it's an effort to

move unhoused people off the street. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena joining us live now with details that she has learned about this operation. hi, luz. yes, larry. >> almost a week ago, mayor reed announced the city would begin to adjust its practices for encampment resolutions and offer services to people on the streets. but as we continue to cover this, we have learned there are actually two types of operations happening at the same time, and one of them doesn't include social services. on site. july 31st, 2024. our crews captured the moment public works employees cleared out several items from homeless individuals across from pier 39 on the side, one sfpd officer overseeing the operation. people here told us they have felt harassed by police officers for weeks. >> nobody called you. nobody called you. you just. you just know what our stuff looks like. so you come over here and you harass us. just. it's sad. >> turns out that aside from the city's emergency management encampment, resolutions that

include giving people a 72 hour notice. sfpd has been doing their own operations and public works. is following orders, working with them in tandem on those smaller encampments in some of the neighborhoods. this all goes in line with what the mayor announced last week, announcing police officers will be going out to address smaller encampments, saying in part, the goal of the engagements is to prevent encampments for areas recently cleared and adding sfpd will be able to offer connections and information about shelters or services, and public works staff will follow all bag and tag policies going to the afternoons. >> now early evenings places where there are smaller encampments and where there have been encampments before. >> this man who did not want to be identified, said public works took his belongings several weeks ago and did not bag and tag accurately. >> when i went to dpw to retrieve all my property, they only said i had five items and then on the police report, it shows that i had way more than

five items. so clearly the dude was lying. >> public works confirmed they can store everything a lot of times we come across items that are really contaminated with human waste of some sort, or with needles or with fetid food. the big difference between the city's emergency management team and sfpd's operations is one uses social service workers, the other doesn't. the vice chair of the city's homelessness oversight commission wants police to also use social service workers. >> so it's a very concerning to not have leading with a social service response. this is a public health crisis. a lot of people that are experiencing homelessness also suffer from substance use disorder. >> and we contacted sfpd. they responded with a list of their policies. the mayor did say that the sfpd strategy will be evaluated and modified for effectiveness based on outcomes. luz pena, abc seven news, san francisco supervisor aaron peskin is putting pressure on developers and the city to build more affordable housing, peskin pointed at the site near

downtown that sits empty. >> it's been approved for 120 units of market rate housing, but the developer has delayed the project because of a lack of financing. peskin wants the city to acquire the site using tax exempt bonds to build middle income housing. >> it is a source of financing for us to be able to convert vacant offices downtown to affordable housing. that's thousands of potential units rent on units financed with the tax exempt bonds would be capped at 15% below market rate, coming up on abc seven news at four. >> scammers have a new target voters what you need to look out for. a major san francisco corporation wants you out of the way. it's not as bad as it sounds, but it does seem like something out of a spy movie and how you just might hold the secret to

when we're young, we're told anything is possible... ...but only a few of us go out and prove it. witness the greatness of anna hall

(vo) want to see everything fargo can do? you can, with wells fargo. of this fire is still pretty small. we're only talking about five acres here, but it is advancing into a populated area with a lot of hillside homes, and numerous houses have already been burned to the ground. as you can see right here, cars going up in flames. residents are being ordered to evacuate as the flames are threatening more homes. the temperature today, 109 degrees with winds up to 13

miles an hour. we'll keep you posted. >> san francisco no longer marks the spot for x. the new york times is reporting that elon musk plans to close the company's san francisco office in the coming weeks, with workers moving to existing offices in san jose. the times is basing its reporting on an internal email. chief executive linda yaccarino sent employees today. last month, musk announced that he planned to move the company to austin, texas. we reached out to x for a comment, but we have not yet heard back. >> well, nearly a year ago we told you about federal workers near san francisco's federal building, and they were working from home because of safety concerns. >> well, it turns out they may not be the only ones. a major san francisco based corporation appears to be taking it a step further, asking that you move out of their way so they can go to work. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez found out about this company's security policy and what's going on behind it. >> well, this corporation tells us that this is a nationwide policy, but hold that thought, because we're talking about

wells fargo bank, a bank that has called san francisco home since 1852. now they claim these extreme security measures are designed to keep employees safe. but we are asking safe from exactly what? now, statistics show that despite its reputation as a dangerous place, san francisco is actually one of the safest major cities in the united states. now, when you see where it is being applied, you may wonder, too, if this is a policy rooted in fact or just more fear. the time is 8:40 a.m, 20 minutes before this wells fargo branch in the financial district is set to open to the public, the way employees enter the branch resembles something out of a spy movie. each worker is positioned a distance away from the entrance. they constantly check their surroundings and wait until they are given some kind of

permission to enter. otherwise they are not allowed to proceed. this wells fargo employee starts walking towards the bank, but then retreats and waits behind this column. a few seconds later, she makes her move. this other employee circles the entire building before he enters from the right side of the building several minutes later. bizarre? somewhat. but what happened next took us by surprise. customers are not allowed to stand or wait within a few feet of the door while employees are entering. even though this is a public space, the man sitting near the entrance and abc seven staffer was asked to move away because the employee you see on the right of your screen is about to enter the bank. good morning sir. >> how are you, we're letting some members in, and we were just for a brief period of time, and we said we have to wait just for a brief point of time so we

can get all our team in. >> why do i have to move? it's like a public plaza. >> we then approached the wells fargo employee to ask why the unusual policy? >> excuse me. >> excuse me. i'm with abc seven news. my name is lyanne melendez. we'd like to know why you have this security policy. is. is this wells fargo in general? throughout the country at a different san francisco wells fargo branch, a young man standing next to the entrance was asked to move away and to also stand clear of the atm. but this time, the wells fargo employee explained the company's security policy as employees enter. are you with the bank? >> yeah. wells fargo correct. is it a policy that people have to step away from the door? yeah. and who instituted that policy? >> our security for our safety, for the safety of our team members. we can't have anybody standing by the door or by the atm in case there's an ambush and try to get in. we can't have

anybody in this area. so due to the safety of our team. >> okay. is this a national policy or is it applied just to san francisco? why, just because we're curious. >> she then told us to call corporate headquarters. wells fargo said the policy applies nationwide, but would not answer our specific questions about this unusual procedure of moving people from public places for their employees, but sent this statement, quote, the safety of our employees and customers is our top priority to keep our employees and customers safe, the branches surrounding areas must be clear before employees can enter the branch. we apologize for the inconvenience. this may cause our valued customers. according to san francisco police incident data, there have been only eight bank robberies this year in the city in random places. police told us most robbers don't carry a weapon and end up giving tellers a note. we asked other banks if

they followed the same procedure. only bank of america responded to what wells fargo was doing by stating, quote, this sounds like an industry security procedure and advised us to contact the california bankers association. they wrote, quote, specific opening procedures can vary depending on the branch location. we send someone to monitor a wells fargo bank in new york city. this is the branch on east 14th street near union square. it's 843 in the morning, and the bank has not opened to the public. and employees are arriving. >> i will be seeing if the same policies exist in san francisco as they do in new york. at wells fargo, i will be standing outside near the door and see if they kick me out before opening. >> the person stands next to the door and engages with another customer, who is also waiting in front of the entrance. meanwhile, wells fargo employees wait for the branch manager to

open the door. the customers standing outside in the path of the employees are never asked to move. when the bank opens to the public at 9:00, they are greete. morning. >> they can't actually usher people off of our sidewalks in front of their business anyway, the president of the board of supervisors told us he is concerned with wells fargo's security policy and the negative image it might portray. >> they do it in san francisco. they're headquartered here. yeah. what does that say about wells fargo? what does it say about the city? >> it says it's time for me to pick up the phone and call the head of wells fargo, because the reality is, the streets of san francisco are safe. they're as safe as any city in this country. they're safer than our conditions are safer than most of the cities in this country, supervisor peskin said. >> if wells fargo employees feel frightened or concerned about their safety, he wants to know why. now, you heard the word ambush in that report. wells

fargo would not say if any of their employees has been attacked or ambushed. now, police told us, to their knowledge, they do not have any reports of a wells fargo employee being ambushed. what's interesting is that this happens before 9 a.m, right when the bank is closed. but once that bank opens at 9:00 from 9 to 5, it's anybody anybody can go rushing and ambush. yes >> so it's theater. is it something else? it's i don't know. >> it's in contrast very interesting. in new york city you see that they don't do that. >> something must have happened to somebody. yeah. that prompted. and wells fargo is not telling us. yeah, yeah. >> in which case not about the numbers but about that person and that group's feelings. yeah. >> all right leanne, thank you. sure >> could we be close to creating a superhuman? why? she's sitting right here. >> oh, i thought i thought you were talking about me, larry. >> the experimental technology, that's life changing. >> i love the dismissive larry. >> not sure about the superhuma,

category one hurricane along the florida bend. record flooding is

expected as debby now moves up the east coast as a tropical storm, and we are in hurricane season. very dangerous. >> we are. we are, of course, lots of flights already canceled today because of this. spencer, take a look at it for us. yeah. here's a look at the storm. >> it's just a massive storm. even though it's down to tropical storm strength. but that's not necessarily good news because this dumping, flooding, dangerous flooding, rains, all over the southeastern u.s. there right now, florida and up into southern georgia. and this is the expected path of the storm over the next few days up along the coastal carolinas by midweek, then up through turning inland a little bit over north carolina, up through virginia, up towards washington, d.c. this storm has the potential to dump over ten inches of rainfall still in areas because of its slow movement, so we'll keep watching that for you. meanwhile, back here in the bay area, we started the day with gray skies as we have the last several days, that lazy, lingering marine layer was there until about midday. finally gave way to some sunny skies. and right now we're looking at breezy conditions across most of the region, with gusts ranging from 20 to about 30mph in the

windiest spots. uh- temperatures are a few degrees lower than they were at this time yesterday. 2 to 5 degrees cooler in most bay area locations. here's a nice view of bright skies looking across the embarcadero from our rooftop camera. 62 degrees in san francisco, right now. oakland, 6667, in hayward, upper 70s at san jose and redwood city, and 61 at half moon bay. we had gray conditions over the golden gate for much of the day right now, mainly blue sky. but of course the marine layer will redevelop overnight. it's 83 right now in santa rosa, low 70s at petaluma and napa, upper 80s at fairfield, concord and 83 at livermore. and on we go to our forecast headlines as we look westward from emeryville. heat spike tomorrow. triple digit high temperatures are likely in a few inland areas. the heat will ease a little bit on wednesday. not a lot, though. it's still going to be warm to hot, maybe 2 or 3 degrees less hot than tomorrow. but by the end of the week we'll have cooling developing with a lot of relief from the heat going into the weekend. but while we have that heat tomorrow, a heat advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the santa

clara valley. and of course, under these conditions, there is an increased risk of heat related illness overnight. we'll see some high clouds going over and the development of some low clouds near the coast and the bay. so we'll start the day under these conditions. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid or mid to upper 50s. so a little cooler than last night. highs tomorrow low 60s at the coast. upper 70s to low 80s around the bay shoreline and upper 90s to about 100 inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. and notice not much change in the temperature range on wednesday. instead of 100 101, we'll see 98 99in those same spots on wednesday, up to about 80 around the bay shoreline. then we get some cooling beginning on thursday mid 90s inland. thursday and friday and into the weekend. it's looking really nice, down to about 90 in the hottest in the warmest spots on sunday and only mid 80s by monday, so that's going to be a significant cooldown from what we're expecting tomorrow. all right. >> that'll be nice. it will. thanks, spencer. >> all right a warning for voters. how scammers could be targeting you. plus

expected to come before tomorrow night when she and her vp pick will hold a rally in philadelphia. sources telling abc news harris met one on one this weekend with top contenders including arizona senator mark kelly, minnesota governor tim walz and pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, but hasn't yet made a final decision. >> anything on the veepstakes yet? >> i got nothing for you, man. meantime, trump's vp pick, ohio senator jd vance, still facing scrutiny over controversial comments like this one from 2021. >> we're effectively run in this country via the democrats, be it via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies. >> this morning, vance's wife usha, responding in an interview with fox news calling her husband's remarks a quip. >> what he was really saying is that it can be really hard to be a parent in this country, and sometimes our policies are designed in a way that make it even harder. >> recent battleground state polls showing harris running better against trump than biden. on gma this morning, former house speaker nancy pelosi,

instrumental in the democratic effort to push biden not to run, downplaying reports she was working the phones to pressure the president. >> the only person that i spoke to about this was the president. other people called me about what their views were about it, and but i rarely even returned a call, much less initiated one. >> back to that impending vp pick after that rally in pennsylvania. harris will then blitz six more battleground states in five days with her new running mate introducing them to the nation. jay o'brien, abc news, washington. >> reports suggest harris has narrowed her choices down now to pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and minnesota governor tim walz. this afternoon, i asked california senator laphonza butler her opinion on those two men. >> both have been governors who led in their states in ways that have made them their communities, proud. uh- and both, i think, are prepared to

center the needs of the american people. uh- in partnership with the vice president, i got no inside track in terms of who she's going to choose. but i do, know for sure that the vice president thinks about the people of this country first and foremost. and so she's looking for governing partner who's going to share that priority? who she can deploy around the world to help to achieve global peace, and someone who is going to be there in the situation room at tough times and help her to make tough decisions in the best interest of our nation. >> butler says she's excited to see how the next three months of the campaign will play out. >> as you work to make sure your vote counts this november, we have a new warning about scams. you may be getting a bunch of texts with people trying to get your information under the guise of voter registration. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley has some help on what to avoid and how you can make sure that

you're actually registered to vote. >> county registrar's offices do not text voters to tell them they're not registered, or they need to update their voter information. >> people are getting unsolicited text messages that say you're not registered to vote or you're inactive. and that, to me, tells that that possibly could be a scam. it's unsolicited contact. it is a sense of urgency. and there's potentially a link that is not a gov link. so we want people to be aware and be cautious of what they click on. >> the contra costa county registrar's office says they've been getting phone calls from worried voters who have gotten text messages and called the office to make sure they're registered. staff can look them up and reassure them it's happening across the bay area and across the state. >> i would say it's kind of alarming if there are scams out there trying to get people to, reregister under false pretenses to second guess everything. >> and it's a shame registrars are scrambling to get ahead of

the curve to combat potential misinformation online and the a text an email here in contra costa. >> they're expecting record turnout in november, anticipating that over 85% of voters will cast a ballot. this time, people can check their voter status if they're uncertain. >> go to the trusted election source. either your local elections office or the secretary of state for up to date and accurate information, you can log on to voter status sos for secretary of state dot ca.gov and input your name and driver's license number for confirmation. >> i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news rfk jr's bare confession. >> have you heard about that one? and the scent of a dog? the four at

it's so bizarre. the admission from independent presidential candidate robert f kennedy jr. in a new video, kennedy tells comedian roseanne barr about picking up a dead bear cub carcass. yes, a bear carcass from a roadside back in 2014. so he claims he intended to skin it and store the meat, but instead, because he was running short on time trying to get to his dinner reservation, he dumped it in new york city's central park. at the
