other and hopefully this. this makes everyone step back and pause. >> 40 niners general manager john lynch on ricky pearsall only days after the 40 niners receiver was shot at san francisco's union square. >> to be real, i felt more compelled to come back after that than than anything because, you know, i've never experienced that, like in my playing career, to have a teammate, you know, shot. this world is a hard place. it's a very, very, very harsh place. and i think sometimes we are shielded from reality. so just staying in the moment and realizing that, you know, your life is more important than anything that you can wake up and put on. >> sobering words from offensive tackle trent williams, only minutes after it was announced that he's resigned with the 40 niners. so his holdout is over. he's good to go, and with that, we say good afternoon and thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil

and i'm kristen tsay. >> we are hearing from the team today as we wait to hear the official charges the suspect will be facing from the san francisco district attorney. all this just days after rookie wide receiver ricky pearsall was shot during a robbery attempt in san francisco's union square. we have team coverage today, abc seven news reporter zach fuentes is live outside levi's stadium. >> but let's start with tim johns on the investigation. tim >> yeah. larry. kristen i'm here outside san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins office. and earlier today, i spoke with the da, and she told me she is expected to file charges against the person accused of shooting pearsall. either later today or early tomorrow morning. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins being tight lipped tuesday morning over the charges she plans to file against the 17 year old accused of shooting forty-niners player ricky pearsall during an attempted robbery saturday. >> my office has to take a close look at the facts, the you know, the history of the minor and move from there. but right now,

i don't want to presuppose anything. we just have to review this case very, very closely. >> since the botched robbery, questions have emerged over whether or not the juvenile suspect would be charged as a minor or as an adult while jenkins has indicated she would like to try the suspect in adult court, the ultimate decision isn't hers to make. legal analyst stephen clark says according to california law, jenkins will have to petition to have the case moved into adult court and that a judge will then make the final call. >> a lot will depend on the juvenile's prior history. have they been involved in the juvenile justice system before and what happened during those proceedings? and also a deep dive into the juvenile social history will also be important. >> clark says the severity of any potential penalties faced by the suspect would be affected to a large degree by where he is ultimately tried. the suspect would face much harsher sentencing if he were to be tried in adult court, as opposed to in juvenile. >> the juvenile system is designed for rehabilitation. there will be a custody

component, but not nearly the extent that you would see in adult court. >> since the shooting occurred, mayor london breed has been open about her desire to see the suspect face consequences. speaking to abc seven news over the weekend, reid told us she had many questions surrounding the entire incident. >> all of the situation around this is suspicious from my perspective, like, how did all of this happen? >> on tuesday, we asked her to clarify her weekend remarks. reid told me she found it odd that someone would attempt a robbery in the middle of the day in an area like union square, which has a massive law enforcement presence. the mayor says she's looking forward to getting answers from the ongoing investigation. >> the investigators are going to get down to it. they'll be looking at phone records. they'll be looking at everything to decide whether or not there was a reason behind what happened at this particular event. and then to target someone so high profile, given the national and international attention, this case has received, breed believes it's more important than ever to hold the person responsible to

account. it sends a strong message that if you do come to san francisco and you do commit these crimes, you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted. >> now, as for that timeline of when we might know whether or not the case is moved from juvenile to adult court, i'm told that entire process could take anywhere from one month to several months. for now, i'm live in san francisco. tim jonze, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. the whole situation is almost surreal to consider. let's get to abc seven news reporter zach fuentes, who's live at levi's stadium. zach >> yeah, the 40 niners were here practicing very hard ahead of their upcoming game on monday. and they're in a good head space now, especially after having seen ricky pearsall in person, general manager john lynch says given what happened, he is doing incredibly well. swease an immense feeling of relief and excitement among the 40 niners tuesday, both on the practice field and in the locker room. >> bunch of energy in the

building. >> it all comes after they got to see their teammate ricky pearsall, for the first time since he was shot, and just hugged him and just hugged him and just just let him know, man. >> just take it at his own pace. >> and right now, that's what 40 niners general manager john lynch said they're allowing him to do for now, putting pearsall on the non-football injury list. >> we had to we had to act quickly with that decision. i wish, i wish we had some more time to make it, but ultimately we felt the number one thing we had to be concerned with was ricky's well-being. >> but according to lynch's update, pearsall may not be on that list for too long. >> it's nothing short of miraculous that he came out of this as good as he did. >> lynch, who visited pearsall at the hospital, confirmed that pearsall did not suffer any nerve or organ damage during tuesday's press conference, lynch also sent a big shout out to the sfpd sergeant, joel harrell, who was on hand to help pearsall until paramedics arrived. >> she was there for him in a real rough time, and i know how appreciative ricky is of that. we're appreciative to the entire police department.

>> pearsall first got to talk with his teammate saturday via facetime at a training camp party. >> we had a team party that was scheduled when i got to the hospital and visited with ricky. it was one of the first things he said, mr. lynch, what's going on? you know, i would really like everyone to go to that party. and i'd also like to talk to some of my teammates. i said, ricky, you take care of yourself. but, you know, kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group. >> still, the team tells us nothing beats seeing him in person as soon as i saw him, i smiled like i just. >> i smiled, went and wrapped him up, hugged him. >> the shooting that injured pearsall comes just as the team is overcoming some turbulent times. late last week, it was reported that wide receiver brandon aiyuk finally reached a deal with the team after high stakes contract negotiations. now, tuesday, it was announced that star left tackle trent williams is finalizing a new deal after prolonged holdout, with aiyuk and williams on board and pearsall recovery, the team says they're ready for their first game of the season monday

against the new york jets. >> this is a great way to open the season, against a great defense, against a great offense as well. i think it will be a good showdown. >> now, again, pearsall is doing well considering what happened, but the team is of course, giving him at least four weeks to recover physically, mentally, emotionally. but general manager john lynch said that he is confident that pearsall will make a contribution and get on the field again at some point this season. right now live at levi's stadium. zach fuentes abc seven news. >> yes, zach. one other note from john lynch. he was talking today about how pearsall wanted to reassure him that i'm not injury prone. i'm not. and lynch, of course, said this is not your conventional football injury. so just calm down. you know, you'll be fine and then we'll get you back on the field. but what was the mood like overall with the players in the locker room? >> yeah. lynch used the word eager when describing pearsall considering what he just went through. look the mood in the locker room was extremely jubilant, joyful. they were

having a great time in there, but of course, is sobering. you heard trent williams talking at the top of the show about this being a wake up call. you know, because they are sometimes shielded from reality, he said. so they are aware of the potential dangers out there and that, you know, nothing can be taken for granted. but they were having a great time there. they're glad that their friend, that their teammate is doing well and they're putting in that work for monday's game. >> now onto the season. zach fuentes. thanks so much. levi's stadium monday night football is back with trent williams at offensive tackle and brandon aiyuk, who was at the practice field today working out. the 40 niners kick off a new season against the jets and aaron rodgers monday night at levi's stadium. our coverage begins at five again monday night, september 9th. right here on abc seven. >> you know what else is back? the heat expect triple digits across much of california. parts of southern california could see temperatures up to 115 degrees. yep. and the deserts could get closer to 120. >> yeah, that's that's cooking here in the bay area.

temperatures climbing as well. san francisco got into the 80s today actually, which is not all that common in the city, is under a heat advisory until 7:00 tonight, along with the warmer temperatures comes smog. there's a spare, the air alert. so far, it's in effect through wednesday. air alerts are issued when ozone pollution is forecast to reach levels that are unhealthy. >> and let's give you another live look. several looks in fact outside right now you can probably just tell from the haze that we have that kind of, you know, really hot and kind of smoggy. it's definitely warmer across the bay area than really normal times. this is like the summer. second summer. yeah, it is the second summer. yeah, the late summer. and we got triple digits. >> yeah. and abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel here with the first look at the at the ever heating forecast. >> yeah. and we're just getting started that's for sure. larry and kristen take a look at this live picture from santa cruz. doesn't this look inviting? especially when it starts to get way too hot in some of our inland valleys right now 100

degrees in fairfield, 99. in concord, you're at 94 san jose, 88 in oakland, 75 in the city, 98, in santa rosa. the city has already made it up to 85 so far. so the heat advisory has been extended until 7 p.m. tomorrow for san francisco. risk of heat related illnesses, especially when your average high is only 70 degrees, so you're well above average. the rest of our inland valleys and hills are going under that heat advisory tomorrow at 11 a.m, and it runs until 11 p.m. thursday. we're looking at moderate to major heat risk inland, and we also have a spare the air alert in effect, not just for today, but tomorrow as well. you will notice poor air quality for the inland east bay and the santa clara valley. moderate elsewhere. i'll be back with a full look at the forecast to let you know how long the inland heat wave is going to last. kristen >> sandhya. thank you. the mayor of antioch has proposed a new idea as the city looks to tackle the homelessness crisis. mayor lamar hernandez thorpe wants to update antioch's no camping ordinance that was passed in

1996. it mandates that no one can camp in a tent or car, but currently applies only to city parks and recreational facilities. the mayor wants to expand that to include public waterways, trails and plazas that will give city service providers more clearance to offer help to people living in dangerous encampments. >> antioch is not going to be a dump site for the bay area's problems, so i would encourage other cities to do take the same actions that we have taken with the hotel and other services that we have. >> antioch has requested more funding from the state to increase motel capacity for its transitional housing programs in the south bay. more than 100,000 unhoused people near san jose. mineta international airport were told to leave this morning. the encampment is located at columbus park, two blocks south of the airport. the city moved out belongings and trash with bulldozers. residents have been notified that they will be displaced from the encampment at the end of august. it's unclear where they will go. mayor matt

mehan says the faa requires the city to keep the area around columbus park clear because it's in the airport's flight path. >> coming up on abc seven news at four. sliding home's power turned off and now a state of emergency in southern california. the high cost of rental car theft and the effort to crack down on criminals. plus from speeding to red

technology sooner to find stolen rental cars faster. >> san francisco leaders say this would also prevent the cars from being used for theft and trafficking. abc seven news reporter lena howland explains when a rental car isn't returned on time, as california state law stands today, companies are required to wait 72 hours to use gps to find it. >> it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. >> that's state assemblymember matt haney of san francisco. he authored a bill that would shorten the window down to 24 hours instead. and now he's urging governor newsom to sign the bill. >> many of these rental cars, when they're stolen, are actually used in other crimes. someone doesn't want to use their own car in in a crime because it can be traced. so they uh- take a rental car, they steal it, and they go commit other crimes. >> he claims over the past three years, rental car companies have reported a 266% increase in

rental car thefts. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins says those stolen rental cars are frequently used to commit other crimes, like organized retail theft. >> oftentimes, when they are driving vehicles through the front doors of our business stores, they're not driving their own vehicles through those doors. they're driving stolen rental cars because they don't mind damaging those cars. >> he claims cutting the time down will make it easier for police to do their jobs. >> once that car is entered into the system as stolen, we will have another technological way to make sure that sfpd can do what it needs to pull over that car and make an arrest in that situation if necessary. >> this information officers will be used to immediately apprehend suspects. >> san francisco deputy police chief derrick jackson says if the change is made, it would also make the city's 400 newly installed license plate readers more effective. >> with the ability to better track stolen rental vehicles, we

can be more effective in identifying criminal suspects and to continue to keep driving down crime. >> governor newsom has until the end of september to sign or veto the bill. in san francisco, lena howland, abc seven news. >> contra costa county officials are increasing their efforts to crack down on copper wire theft. businesses in the county have seen an increase in those crimes in recent months, and law enforcement officials say richmond has become a hotspot. >> i urge everyone to pay attention to their surroundings and if you see something, say something. if you see someone working on a utility pole and something just doesn't seem right, call us. we'll send an officer out to investigate. >> illegal removal of copper cable from communications infrastructure disrupts network operations. it can also impact service in that area. richmond police have made ten copper wire theft arrests so far just this year. they're also urging members of the public to report businesses that may be purchasing stolen copper wire.

>> mayor london breed has sworn in san francisco's new fire chief, sandi tong, was introduced as the department's interim chief at a ceremony this morning. tong has served on the department's command staff for the last five years, and has 35 years of public service experience. she is the first ever chinese american chief of the san francisco fire department. >> mayor breed, thank you so much for this incredible honor. i am humbled by this opportunity and will serve you to the best of my abilities. i also want to thank you for your continued support of this department by approving the resources necessary to create the community paramedicine division and the street teams. our street crisis and overdose teams are making an impact on how we meet the needs of the most vulnerable communities here in san francisco. >> the chief actually gave her first tv interview to us on abc seven news at three today, so you can check that out. tong will take over for departing chief jeanine nicholson, who was a part of today's ceremony. the swearing in. nicholson officially announced her

retirement at the end of august. >> all right. turn to the forecast now. it's about to get hot. >> what do you mean? about hello, samuel. it is upon us. yes it is. >> and you know what? we're going to have to deal with it for several days. kristen and larry. let me show you a live picture of the from our east bay hills camera. as we look across the bay, you can see some haze in the air already. as you take a look at those temperatures right now. yeah. it's hot. santa rosa, 98 degrees. it is 100. in fairfield, 99 in concord, 97 in livermore. you're in the mid 90s from petaluma to napa. a beautiful view from our san rafael camera, where the sun is shining here in the city. it has dropped down to the 70s as the sea breeze has come in. but it did get up into the 80s earlier. oakland, you're at 88. san jose 94, well above average 90. in redwood city. look at the temperature change. i mean, we're talking double digit gains in places like oakland 13 degrees warmer, 20 degrees warmer there in novato, up 16, concord and san jose. as we look

at live doppler seven, the marine layer has pushed away clear indication that high pressure is building in. and we are starting to see the offshore flow developing. a lovely view from our pier 39 camera as you take a look here. visitors are enjoying the sun triple digit heat inland. the next three days. coastal areas will be warmer than average as well and our fire danger will be elevated the next few days, particularly in the hills where we are seeing some lower humidity values and a little bit of a breeze. so moderate to major heat risk inland for tomorrow. and you can see the area shaded in orange and red. if you're particularly sensitive to the heat, you will definitely want to take precaution. but regardless of this, you'll want to take precaution and stay hydrated and keep cool because this is obviously going to be intense. so we start off tonight at five 1590 inland. still, it is really going to remain warm to hot inland at 720. we head into tomorrow morning and there will be some patches of fog. but quickly you will notice those temperatures rising by the lunch

hour into the 90s and triple digits by the afternoon. by evening, it's going to be a slow going. cool down your temperatures anywhere from the 50s to the 70s. clear inland fog along the coast tomorrow afternoon. it's a warm to hot day no matter where you are in the south bay 97 in san jose, los gatos, 99 degrees 84, in santa cruz on the peninsula, 90. in san mateo, 91 in los altos, mid 70s at the coast. downtown san francisco 85 degrees. you'll be in the north bay in the seconds and 100 for many of you, with the exception of sausalito and the coast. 100in san rafael, santa rosa 94 napa. heading into the east bay, upper 80s, berkeley. oakland 94 fremont. inland areas will be sizzling. 102 in concord, 103 in livermore, 104 degrees in fairfield. so be prepared because this heat isn't going anywhere for three days. we're going to see those triple digits inland along the coastline. tomorrow is your warmest day. after that, you start to notice the temperatures backing off, certainly moderating by friday,

and relief arrives for all areas over the weekend, temperatures dropping off even more early next week. so larry and kristen, it's summer for the bay area around this time. you know that. >> yeah, i know the second summer is often more intense. >> yeah, especially for the city. thanks sandhya. >> all right. in the north bay today, an event. a special event to celebrate one of california's unique but endangered animals. sonoma county held its annual sea otter awareness day at dawn beach, part educational with the public learning about the effort to restore the population, but also part fun. there was a sand sculpture contest with all the creations depicting sea otters, and others were driven to extinction in the early 1900s, but now are gradually recovering after days of slides moving homes in a southern california community. >> a state of emergency is declared, but people still aren't leaving. >> and an apology after this unusual display at the us open. why this tennis star said she

where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses.

he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

the los angeles county. this, following an ongoing slide there that has homes moving and even prompted the power to get shut off. still, people are not ready to leave their homes. reporter josh haskell, from our sister station in los angeles has the details.

>> this intersection in the sea view neighborhood in rancho palos verdes is sinking, making it a challenge for utility companies to serve their customers. most of these homes still have gas and water, but the electricity is out. and although southern california edison was only supposed to keep the power off to 20 homes in sea view indefinitely, that number is already growing to include greg montgomery's home, which he's lived in since 1988. montgomery had to drain his pool because water was leaking into the ground below. >> unbelievable. in the last four months, it's constant. i mean, it's just what do you do? we're sitting here on a keg of dynamite and we can't go repair anything because the ground continues to move. >> montgomery says he was told he could sell his house for $2.5 million before the accelerated land movement caused by all the rain the past two years. now, he's not sure anyone would want to buy his home, especially with all the new cracks that have

popped up on his property the last month. >> we've lost our ability to live normal lives. i mean, we have plans to go places and we can't go. we have to stay here and so it's very disruptive and it's very frustrating not getting answers. somebody could come along and tell me this is what we're going to do, and it will fix the problem. but nobody can say that. >> montgomery lives above palos verdes drive south, which is constantly being paved because all the land movement has turned it into a very bumpy, uneven road. on tuesday, governor gavin newsom declared a state of emergency for rancho palos verdes. >> we're very happy that the governor has declared a state of emergency today. it is a bigger problem than just the city of rancho palos verdes. and so having the state declare this, that opens up resources, federal resources to us and also the possibility that our residents get some financial relief as they move their homes from gas and overhead wire service to off

grid utilities. >> really difficult situation in southern california. state health officials are learning more about how drought conditions affect valley fever. valley fever cases peak from september to november. a new study shows drought temporarily dampens the peaks, but then leads to bigger surges once rains return. the study also found that cases of the flu like disease have risen dramatically over the past two decades, more than tripling from 2014 to 2022. >> the push to speed up a new law. >> no one is really driving the speed limit that's up right now. >> the least we can do is make sure that people are aware immediately if they are driving more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit. >> why? you might see more no turn on red signs around and in the south bay, th

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: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com after careful review of medical guidance and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪

measure that would overturn florida's near-total abortion ban. days ago, trump, unveiling a new proposal for in vitro fertilization. >> we are the government is going to pay for it, or we're going to get or mandate your insurance company to pay for it. >> recent polling from abc news and ipsos shows voters trust harris more than trump on the issue of abortion rights. there is a voter divide between men and women. our polling shows harris is up 13 percentage points with women, and it's driven primarily by white women, who now say they're more likely to support harris, according to our polling. the abc news debate is one week away. harris leaning on former hillary clinton adviser philippe reines to play the role of trump. the trump campaign bringing in tulsi gabbard, who debated harris during the 2020 presidential campaign. gabbard on cnn this weekend. >> what i pointed out in that debate stage in the 2020 campaign was her hypocrisy. it was how she was saying one thing and doing another. >> both campaigns have a lighter schedule. heading into the debate next tuesday, the first

debate between harris and trump. it's also the first time harris and trump will meet each other. perry russom abc news, washington. >> and the next presidential debate is just one week away. it is scheduled for tuesday, september 10th, right here on abc seven. our coverage begins at 5:00. >> a state lawmaker wants to build a better bay area by putting the brakes on speeding. the idea of a speed solution is now sitting on governor newsom's desk, waiting to be signed into law. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez with a look at this proposal. >> speeding related traffic deaths are on the rise in california. state senator scott wiener hopes his bill will change that. >> when we have the level of death on our roads, more than 4000 people a year in california and escalating, it's gone up in the last five years. that's a policy choice. >> senate bill 9.61 is heading to governor newsom's desk. it would mandate speed warning technology in cars. >> it requires that for new cars

starting in 2030, have to be equipped with existing technology. it exists now that alerts people just one alert if they are going more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit. >> if this bill is signed by the governor, california will be the first state in the country to enact this kind of safety equipment. opponents say there are a lot of problems with it. >> speed limits are often ten miles an hour or more lower than what the way the roadway is built. so this is a system that would be constantly beeping for people all, all day long as they're driving. >> members of the national motorists association feel imposing safety requirements for cars should be left to the federal government. >> that's where it should be debated. that's where it should be decided on. >> we spoke with drivers to get their thoughts. would an alert system encourage them to slow down? >> i would think it would be something that's kind of annoying if you're in the highway, because we just drove from la and no one is really

driving the speed limit that's up right now. i mean, everyone's going probably about 80 to 85. i think it would work like in residential areas maybe, or by schools. >> sb 961 is supported by the ntsb and faa. >> we're not physically stopping them. if people choose to speed, that's their choice and it creates risk. and they might get a ticket for it. but the least we can do is make sure that people are aware immediately if they are driving more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit. >> the governor has until the end of the month to sign or veto the bill. in the south bay, lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> meantime, the push continues for san francisco to expand the ban on right turns on red. advocates have planned to bring up the issue once again at today's sfmta meeting, but it never came up. the board dove into finances and muni services during a lengthy discussion. this afternoon. it's expected to hold a vote this month. right. turns are already prohibited at roughly one third of the city's intersections, supporters say it will reduce the number of accidents, particularly those

involving pedestrians and bicyclists. >> all right. coming up, the new rush hour and the woman with an idea on how to meet guys. and this is something nobody

let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening. are you going to have so much fun, i can tell. okay, you guys,

is 10 to 4. the new 9 to 5. the traditional workday is changing, at least according to traffic patterns. according to the global traffic scoreboard. the scorecard with the uptick in more flexible hours on the job since the pandemic. there's really less of a rush to, you know, jump in your car, get to work, you know, rush hour. they also found that there's almost as many trips to and from the office at noon as is. you know, the typical nine o'clock or the five o'clock hours. so it's kind of just like people are getting in whenever they want to get in. now excuse me, i'm choked up just thinking about it. discuss amongst yourselves while i drink some water. >> i don't know. it doesn't feel like there are fewer cars on the road when i'm out there. i don't know the stats are what they are, but it doesn't seem like it's just open roads all the time and no rushing. >> you know what it is, larry? at 230 ish or whenever you're driving, that's when people are going home. now, that's why there are just as many cars on the road. >> i think the pandemic also gave people more flexibility

right? so maybe they have worked out a way to work the hours that they want to work, and that's great, especially if it benefits everybody else by not having them on the road at the same time. >> but again, traffic does. look, i did hear somebody recently say, why did dolly parton have to cement 9 to 5? why did she have to sing 9 to 5? because it's such a thing now. yeah, 10 to 4 is great. >> 10 to 4. yes. it's perfect. >> can we make it happen? yes >> let's do it. yeah, yeah. >> and then maybe work from home also while we're at it. my favorite subject now to the us open and the backlash over how one player treated the ball girl. you're not going to believe the video. abc news reporter alison kosik with the details. >> a women's tennis star is apologizing for her behavior towards a ball girl at the us open. kazakhstan's yulia putintseva posting, i want to apologize to the ball girl for the way i was when she was giving me balls. honestly speaking, it was not about her, adding she was frustrated during saturday's match. this is the

moment a visibly angry putintseva stood motionless as the ball girl tossed her two tennis balls. putintseva letting each one bounce into her before finally making an attempt to catch the third, drawing fierce boos from the crowd and igniting a backlash on social media. former tennis champ boris becker posting who does putintseva think she is? terrible behavior towards the ball girl. another observer writing bravo for the attitude of the young tournament worker who maintained her professionalism. putintseva, now blaming her poor behavior on her performance, saying she got empty with my emotions and deep in my thoughts that i was not even focusing on what's going on and who gives me the ball. >> that's a really bad look and any tennis player will tell you. i mean, the kids are there. they're volunteers in most cases, and they're just trying to help. and to stare down a

teenager because you can't hit a tennis ball properly. it's really weak. >> i mean, that would be like the kid who wipes up, you know, the folks on the basketball courts. and if they fall their sweat, they wipe it up. it's like you made a bad play or you missed your shots, or you're just going to be mean to that person. like, that makes no sense. >> it doesn't make any sense at all. it's just a really poor, poor judgment, poor moment in time. and i mean, you never as as crazy as john mcenroe used to get. and there's a bunch of other players we can go down the list. he he would yell at the umpire if he if he was mad at a call, but never take out his wrath on some kid who's trying to help the match. it's just, i mean, it doesn't look good. >> i'm sure we've all had some displaced anger where we take something out on someone, on somebody else, but at least she apologized and hopefully it's, you know, it was a sincere. >> all right. that's a good point. okay. a woman in greece is in trouble with the law after stooping to a new low to meet a

man. girl. yeah. officials say she intentionally set wildfires because she enjoyed watching firefighters and flirting with them. this video shows cal fire crews, and we can be sure that they don't endorse this. the woman is facing a three year prison sentence and a hefty fine. >> what? something really wrong with her head? yeah. seriously? i mean, seriously, when i read the story, i was just shaking my head in disbelief. >> like this could even be a thing. like, yeah, what are we doing? what? what is happening to the planet? i don't know. there's no real logical explanation for that. >> you got a better suggestion for how to flirt? you know how she can get her love life started without resorting to these means, >> okay. well, so i have a friend who had something happen to her, and she passed out and she woke up on her bed, surrounded by firefighters. are we all joke that that's the dream? but i guarantee she would

not have. what happened to her happen again? just to have all those firefighters around her? >> i'm sure, i'm sure. yes. >> i'm curious as to how that worked out after whatever her situation was. but anyway, solo dining may be the hottest new restaurant trend, according to the san francisco based restaurant reservation company open table solo dining reservations are up 29% in the us over the past two years. fine dining establishments like spruce are embracing the tables, for one. experts think the increase is a result of the pandemic and remote work, and me not having friends and something else. >> well, the truth comes out. >> yeah, it took a few minutes, but we got there. >> we got. would you dine alone? >> you know, i don't have any problems with it, kristen, but i tend to be more of a social person. i like to go out with friends and family, and, you know, you don't say that you're a social person. >> no, no, no, no, i mean, i

have eaten alone if necessary. >> i don't think there's anything wrong with that. no, no. yeah. >> not having to cook, not having to do the dishes, not having to get up 100 times to get something for somebody else. sounds amazing. >> sounds like someone's making a reservation. >> no, not not not have to listen to that guy across the table. >> yeah, right. >> get away from that. >> so i also think it would be cool if a lot of restaurants could do those reservations for, like, a communal farm table where you you reserve one seat, but it's like a table for eight, and then you just meet new people. >> you mean like a teppanyaki kind of situation, right? >> where everybody gets to sit and they make the food in our heart attack was... scary! never want to go through that again. but we could. with heart disease, you never know. so we made changes. green juice. yeah, not a fan. diet, exercise... statins helped. but our ldl-c (bad cholesterol)-it was stuck! stuck!

just couldn't lower it enough. and high ldl-c meant a real risk of another attack. so i said, "let's ask our doctor about repatha." what can i say? listen to your heart. repatha plus a statin dramatically lowers ldl-c by 63%, and significantly drops the risk of having a heart attack. do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions. signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. we won't let another heart attack set us back. and neither should you. listen to your heart. lower your ldl-c and your risk with repatha. talk to your doctor. ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack.

mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them. so, you don't like gnomes huh? what about that one? that one i like. a lot. ♪ bmo ♪
