frightening series of hate crimes in san francisco. >> a wayward whale. why? authorities are asking you to stay away. >> it's a long season. it's a marathon. but we know what it takes. and you know, monday night, for us, it's the start of a whole new journey. >> getting ready for the 40 niners versus the jets monday night football here on abc seven. and with that we say good afternoon. thanks for joining us i'm larry beil and i'm kristen tsay. >> abc seven is committed to building a better bay area. and that's not just on the land. >> yeah we're also highlighting efforts to clean up the ocean and a big one is all the trash, all the plastics that are going into the water. >> i mean, there's so much that there are five large garbage patches. the one in the pacific is 617,000mi■!s, roughly three times the size of california. >> and those plastics don't really break down. they get smaller and smaller and smaller, but eventually get ingested by sea life and then by us. >> a group focused on cleaning up the great pacific garbage

patch has been working on cleaning up all that garbage. the ocean cleanup says they could completely clean up the garbage patch in five years, at a cost of $4 billion. >> abc seven news reporter tim johns live on the ship that is making a difference. tim >> yeah, larry. kristen i am live on the deck of this ship, and i want to show you guys these giant bags here beside me. now, just for some context, i'm six feet tall and you can see just how big and how large these bags are now inside all of them is trash, debris, other waste that's been collected from the so-called great pacific garbage patch. and despite all this progress that's been made, guys, i'm told there's still a long way to go floating in the middle of the ocean is a giant collection of trash and debris that's come to be known as the great pacific garbage patch. the accumulation of plastics, cans, and other waste has become one of the most prominent examples of the environmental crisis engulfing the planet, threatening not just marine life, but also humans. it's a

plastic. >> pollution is one of the largest threats our ocean faces today. it's ravaging ecosystems. there are more than 100 species threatened with extinction because of plastic. >> boyan slat is the ceo of a company called the ocean cleanup. six years ago, they sent two ships out to the garbage patch in an effort to develop technology to clean it up for good. on friday, those same two ships made their way back into san francisco bay, this time having developed the technology needed for the massive undertaking. slat says the only thing preventing that from becoming a reality now is money. >> once that's secured, we can ramp this up in about 2 or 3 years, and then the clock starts running and we can clear up the patch in potentially just five years. >> slat estimates the total cost would be somewhere between 4 and $7.5 billion, a small price to pay, says matthias edgar. edgar was one of the scientists on the expeditions who helped develop the technology needed for the cleanup. a system of netting, cameras and computers powered by artificial intelligence. >> you have big waves and you

have a harsh environment. and to build something that actually surviving out there while at the same time only make sure you catch plastic and not marine life. that was quite a challenge. >> once the trash is pulled from the sea, it's then sorted on the ships and ultimately recycled. edgar taking time to point out to us the sunglasses he was wearing, being one of the recycled products that's been made, the stuff out there has has value. >> you know, it's not only trash, it's actually a resource that we can use. >> despite the steps that still need to be taken, slat says he's optimistic about getting the patch cleaned up one step he hopes that would inspire others to tackle even more of the environmental issues of our time. >> for humanity to thrive, we need to be able to be optimistic about the future. and i think if we can clean up the great pacific garbage patch, this seemingly insurmountable thing, i think it's just going to be an inspiration for many people. >> and guys, that message is something we have heard repeatedly this afternoon. this company, these folks want to get this cleaned up, not just for the environmental impacts that

it would bring in and of itself, but to inspire other people younger generations, to go ahead and tackle some of the very real environmental challenges we all face as humanity. >> well, let me ask you this, because 4 to $7.5 billion, that is a significant amount of money, but it's not impossible to raise. we've got a lot of billionaires here in the bay area alone. where will the ocean cleanup try to get this money? >> yeah, larry, that's absolutely right. and the answer is they're open, right? they're open to working with governments. they're open to working with other companies, private investors, donors. again, the main thing is just to get the money, get this project going and actually clean up some of the ocean here for us. but for now, i'm live in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you so much. the driver arrested for a wrong-way crash that killed a mother and son in the south bay has been arraigned on murder charges. duncan mccrary could barely be seen behind his attorney. he appeared to be in a wheelchair. during today's hearing in san jose, he's

charged with two counts of murder. investigators say mccrary was driving more than 100mph in the wrong direction on highway 85, when his truck smashed into an oncoming car back on august 26th. 47 year old rebecca olson and her 14 year old son charlie, both died in the collision. >> at one point, the defendant stopped his car and got out and walked around in the middle of the traffic. he then got back into his vehicle and continued to drive the wrong way. >> mccrary was also injured in the crash. he was released from the hospital last night and is being held in the santa clara county jail without bail. he's expected back in court on november 7th. >> an update now in the murder case of a prominent tech executive, prosecutors say nima momeni was stabbed and killed. the cash app founder in april of last year. >> the defense now says the victim, bob lee, was the aggressor. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow has covered this case from the beginning and has the latest.

nima, his defense attorney, revealing his defense strategy ahead of the bob lee murder trial. >> when everything is put together, it's going to be a clear sign for the jury to understand unequivocally that this case was a case of self-defense. >> some, zanganeh says it's likely momenti will testify. >> i think that it would be a good bet to consider that mr. mulvaney will kind of educate the jury as to exactly what transpired. >> momeni is accused of stabbing lee in san francisco's soma neighborhood during the early morning hours of april 4th. prosecutors have suggested his sister was at the center of a confrontation between momeni and lee, who were seen together leaving armani's apartment building prior to the stabbing. charging documents included a text to momeni sent lee stating in part, i know nima came way down hard on you and thanking lee for handling it with class. as for whether she will take the stand. >> i think that she's an important witness to educate people on certain aspects, but it's a game time decision. >> prosecutors have said the knife used to stab lee came from hussar's apartment. >> i don't think there's any

evidence to suggest that nima took it, and i think that there's substantial evidence that we have to suggest that bob lee bought it with it. >> zanganeh also argues if momeni were guilty, he wouldn't have thrown the knife so close to the scene. legal analyst steven clark says the drugs found in bob lee's system are likely to play an active role in the defense's strategy. >> mr. momeni will likely say that mr. lee was acting irrationally and erratically and aggressively, and that's why he took the actions that he did by text, bob lee's ex-wife told abc seven news, quote, i find it absurd that the defense is trying to redirect and accuse bob of acting violent or erratic. if this case is reduced to voluntary manslaughter, that will greatly reduce the sentence he's exposed to, zanganeh says the defense is not asking for a reduced charge. >> there's only one verdict that a reasonable jury could come up with, and that's a that's a verdict of not guilty. in san francisco, for the iteam melanie woodrow, abc seven news. >> new developments in a case

we've been following since april, when racist material was left at a black man's home in san francisco. police are searching for this woman, 67 year old april martin chartrand. they say she's a suspect in the case in which a racist doll with a noose and other messages were left outside the alamo square. dog walker's home. chartrand was reported missing by her family two weeks ago. if you see her police ask that you call 9-1-1. dublin police have arrested two people they say were involved in an assault on a teen at dublin high school last month. an 18 year old former student and a 17 year old, related to a mother and daughter, also involved in the incident. police say the mother and daughter confronted the victim regarding some recent conflicts, but they were not involved in the actual attack. police are still searching for more suspects. >> the judge and former president donald trump's criminal hush money case has delayed mr. trump's sentencing until november 26th. the justice says he made the move to avoid the appearance, however unwarranted, that the proceeding

has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election. mr. trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. all right. back here in the bay to the east bay. budget cuts have. alameda county court workers now on furlough. so starting today, almost every employee will take one unpaid day off every month. the court system says it lost $4.3 million in funding from the state. furloughs will happen two fridays each month, and the court says all courtrooms will remain open. >> okay, let's turn now to the weather. some changes are already here and more will be coming. >> you've been waiting for a cooldown, and here it is. sandhya patel, tell us all about it. >> yeah, this weekend it's going to start to drop off in terms of the temperatures. larry and kristin. so get ready. we're going to say goodbye to the triple digits that you're seeing right now in fairfield, saint helena, ukiah. you'll notice upper 90s around danville. livermore. it's a lot more

comfortable near the coast. heat advisory remains up for all areas shaded in orange until 8 p.m. tonight. still a risk of getting sick from this hot weather, so definitely take it easy and stay hydrated. as we go, hour by hour, the other concern is near critical fire weather conditions. we remain in the moderate to high category inland for the fire danger. fortunately, the winds are not that strong, but this trend is going to carry over and linger into part of saturday, even though it is not going to be quite as hot as today. so we go hour by hour. notice the temperatures are still up there in the 80s and 90s at 7.15 inland. so if you're stepping out for friday night plans, the fog will advance by 1110 in across the bay. and tomorrow morning we're going to start off cooler. tomorrow afternoon is cooler as well. i'll be back with the weekend forecast coming right up. kristen. larry. >> all right, sandy, we'll see you in a few minutes. in the north bay, the hot weather is keeping grape growers in wine country on their toes. >> harvest is in full swing and the heat is adding an extra

layer of concern. >> abc seven news reporter cornell bernard joining us live now in sonoma with the details. cornell >> hey, larry. christine. it is plenty hot once again here in the sonoma valley. my phone says about 94 degrees. and, you know, it's harvest time for many grapes up here and for grape growers, for grape growers, there's no time to waste. getting them off the vine, really, it's a very challenging time and you got to stay on it, you know, every day, all day. steve leadsom's family has been growing grapes in the sonoma valley since 1860. the job is never predictable. >> this week we've been focusing on our chardonnay and our sauvignon blanc. >> grapes are going into this giant press. the juice collected below overnight. letts and vineyard workers picked about seven tons of grapes this week. timing is everything. extreme heat spikes are fast tracking the ■harvest. steve says grape vines are a lot like the human

body. >> when it gets hot, the grapevine shuts down. so if you get over probably 92 degrees that wants to go to sleep. >> associate winemaker justin schuchart says the concern is dehydration and over ripening, and the heat poses a challenge because, we really want to get that fruit off the vine before the heat can start to damage the fruit. staying ahead of the weather and knowing when to irrigate is key. >> so it's sitting there with water in the vines. so when the heat comes on, it can take it out of the vineyard. >> steve is checking on his old vines and grapes. well you know, it's supposed to get cool. >> now cool down a little bit, which is really good. that slower ripening process. >> the sonoma valley vintners alliance says growing season always has curveballs. mother nature is quite the force to contend with. >> so what the vintners and growers really try to do is work with mother nature, and she really designates when things are happening, you know, back at

the crush facility, steve letson is sampling the harvest grape flavor rush river chardonnay. >> this is going to be a good year. i think it's going to be a great year and we'll come out of this. everything's going to be great. so enjoy the wine. >> enjoy the wine for sure. steve says his zinfandel grapes and petite syrah could be harvested here in about ten days to two weeks. you know, it's been 200 years since the first vines were planted here in the sonoma valley. that's a lot of years of weather challenges. and guess what? all these vines are still here. we're live in sonoma. cornell. bernard abc seven news. >> 200 years is incredible. thank you. cornell. coming up on abc seven news at four. a whale where you're not used to seeing one. we'll tell you what experts are telling us about this. the push for a bill that will let you cancel all of those annoying online subscriptions with just one click and leaving levi's stadium, or trying to. the tips and tricks you need to know ahead of monday night football.

or you can just stay home and watch it righ

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. today crowds of people caught a rare glimpse of a humpback whale near half moon bay. it was swimming around pillar point

harbor off the san mateo county coast. sky seven was overhead and had a clearer view of the humpback. the marine mammal center says the whale is healthy. experts say it most likely took a wrong turn with an abundance of food in the area. whale watchers, though, are enjoying the spectacle. >> i've been here 20 years. i haven't seen a whale inside the harbor, so it is quite a surprise. i know there are a lot of anchovies out here, and there's been a lot of whales over pacifica, but not here because of the way the bay is. >> experts hope the whale finds its way back into the ocean today or possibly tomorrow morning. >> from whales to sharks. and if you think you've heard more about shark encounters recently, you're absolutely right. climate change is having an impact on the ocean as well as its residents. abc's ginger zee explains how climate change is changing shark behavior. >> look at that. it's a shark. >> more people in the ocean means more human shark interaction. oh my gosh. fortunately, shark encounters are still rare. but because of conservation efforts, shark

populations are going up. we realized how important those animals are, and we've worked hard to bring them back. >> and now that they're coming back, we're going to have to learn to share. it's their home and we're guests in their home. so we're going to have to change our behavior a little bit if we really want to share that habitat with those animals. >> warmer ocean temperatures, particularly a result of human amplified climate change, also increased shark's metabolism. that means that they have to travel further to find enough food, including getting closer to populated coastal areas. lowe's research shows there's specifically an increase in juvenile white sharks looking for food closer to beaches. >> well, what we think climate change is definitely doing is changing the distribution of many species of sharks. >> it's either pushing them further north or pushing them further south, depending on what hemisphere you're in. >> if you're concerned about sharks, lowe says that it helps to stay in groups in the water, be more careful at dawn and dusk when sharks are more active. experts say you should also be particularly aware of animals like sea lions trying to jump on surfboards or fish gathering in

groups. sharks feed on them and they could be nearby. with this climate minute, i'm ginger zee and on the peninsula about a third of samtrans operators called out sick today. >> it's the second day in a row if forced samtrans to reduce service to thousands of riders. the sick out is part of a prolonged labor dispute between operators and samtrans. last month, the union, representing 400 operators, rejected the san mateo county transit district's latest proposal. >> it is now easier than ever to visit one of san francisco's gems, the presidio. >> muni riders can now take the bus to a brand new stop, getting them farther inside the park, right near crissy field. >> abc seven news reporter lena howland shows us the route san franciscans and visitors now have a new, affordable way to get closer to those prized golden gate bridge views farther west into the presidio. >> we're thrilled that muni is coming further into the park, so we can get more people into the park and enjoying this magnificent space. >> that's gene frazier, ceo of

the presidio trust, overlooking crissy field right next to sports basement. she says sfmta has extended their muni 30 line to now end off of mason street. >> muni 30, which goes all the way to caltrain and bart and chinatown, is coming way into the presidio. >> the extension project not only includes a new bus shelter, but much needed bathrooms, new sidewalks, and a new turnaround for muni busses. as this is their new end of the line. >> being able to have a bus line that goes to some of the most underserved portions of the city come to this place. it's part of a dream for me. we want everyone to be here. we're a park that's for everyone. and the more we can get people out here, the better for all of us. we know also that the golden gate bridge, crissy field, of course, the tunnel tops are huge tourist attractions. the muni 30 goes right by fisherman's wharf. it goes downtown, so tourists from all over the world are now going to be able to get here and

experience this magnificent place. >> this is just one part of a much bigger project happening in the presidio, surrounding the expansion of the iconic presidio tunnel tops, the expansion includes the future outpost meadow picnic area, set to open up next to this bus stop. next summer in san francisco. lena howland abc seven news. >> coming up. finally heading home. well, sort of. boeing's starliner heading back to earth, but without its passengers. details next. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. say goodbye to the triple digit heat. i'll show you what's in store for the weekend. it's certainly changing. so the forecast is coming up. when abc seven news at 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 hearat 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.

i came to bayview hunter's point, 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 capsule undocked from the international space station about an hour ago. expected to touch down in the new mexico desert tonight. test pilots suni williams and butch wilmore stayed behind. nasa ultimately deciding it was just too risky for them to return on the starliner. space x will bring that duo back, but not until february. they're going to be up there much longer than anticipated originally. >> gosh, i mean, they are pros, but i feel for their families. oh my goodness. >> yeah, absolutely. >> all right. it's been feeling a little hot under the collar

for most people. but that has changed. >> yes. >> sandhya patel is here with the weekend forecast, and it's about to cool down a little bit. >> yes. and i think a lot of people will be happy with that idea. larry and kristen, i do want to show you the temperatures right now across the state. we're not alone. misery loves company. i know there's triple digit heat up and down. 112 palm springs needles, 104, in redding. this is a western heat wave. 104, in fresno. clearly, for the inland areas, because monterey, you're at 67 degrees. it is 97. in los angeles. now we have the heat to deal with today, but we are going to notice those temperatures going downhill. walnut creek camera blue skies right now 90 degrees in santa rosa. it's in the 80s petaluma, napa, fairfield. you're in the triple digits and concord in livermore mid to upper 90s from our golden gate bridge camera. the fog that we had earlier today, it's gone 68 in the city, 79 in oakland, san jose you're at 91, hayward 82. and it is 84, in redwood city. the onshore wind.

miles an hour in san francisco. this amazing view, this is our newest camera at fisherman's wharf. it's called skystar cam. and just look at the view. i mean, you see a lot of sun as we look out towards the bay there. that is going to look a little bit different come tonight as the marine layer redevelops and starts to push in. it is off the coast right now, but it will come back into the picture. in the sierra we are seeing thunderstorms firing up. fortunately there is some rain accompanying those storms. here's a look at what is going to happen and why we're expecting cooler weather starting tomorrow. high pressure that's been controlling our weather. moving off to the east. this area of low pressure as it approaches it will enhance that marine influence. and that's why we're going down. here's a look at the headlines. weekend weather cooling begins tomorrow. overnight fog expands. we're looking at patchy drizzle and early to middle part of next week. it's going to be breezy and even cooler. so tonight you will notice that the fog starts

to branch out. tomorrow morning we will see some spotty drizzle. and then tomorrow afternoon clouds are going to linger along the coastline, so not everyone is going to see the sun, but it is going to be much better than it has been 5060 on your temperatures tomorrow afternoon. south bay numbers coming down 86 degrees in san jose, 96. in morgan hill on the peninsula, you're looking at 82 in redwood city, mid 60s, right near the coastline, downtown san francisco, 70 degrees north bay, numbers 87. in santa rosa, 85 san rafael, heading into the east bay. pretty nice day. mid 70s oakland, berkeley, castro valley, 83 inland areas. you're still going to be on the warm side, but not quite as hot as it's been. 93 in concord, 94 in livermore. here's your accuweather seven day forecast from the 60s to the 90s tomorrow. a nice wide range, but the bottom line is relief arrives. we'll have a little bit more of a break going into next week, and you will notice those temperatures really bottoming out early to middle part of next week in the mid 80s, even a little bit below average for our

inland communities. don't worry though, kristen and larry, i know some people like the warm weather. it's going to warm back up. >> yeah, it will be nice for monday night football too. oh perfect. >> oh, right. you don't want it too hot. especially at levi's stadium. >> yeah, absolutely. don't worry about it. all right, all right. >> still ahead. speaking of the 40 niners getting ready for some monday night football, but are you ready? what you need to know about the game getting to and from levi's stadium on monday, a new millionaire and when we could be seeing bay area trillionaires see who is heading that way. and the new rule that could help get you out of those automatically renewing subscriptions, those nuisances. and you can do it

right here on abc seven. the niners ramped up practice this afternoon with quarterback brock purdy out there. happy to get reacquainted with his offensive tackle, trent williams and wide receiver brandon aiyuk after the resolution of their contract disputes. running back christian mccaffrey is back following a calf strain that also listed him with an achilles strain of some sorts. he says he's fine, but you know that that injury kept him off the practice field for several weeks and the preseason. >> you know, trent was gone for a little bit. obviously but when he's come back in, it feels good. it feels natural again. back in the huddle. and when i'm dropping back with him there. and same with ba and his routes throwing to him for the last week or so. it all just feels pretty normal. but i mean, i could say all that now when the bullets are flying, like we're going to find out, you know? so, and then obviously the same with christian too, and, and his reps and stuff. so it goes for everybody. but, you know, we're all going to have to adjust and

adapt on the fly. >> mccaffrey was limited at practice again today, but he said in interviews just a few minutes ago that he will be ready to go on monday night. >> all right. so if you're going to monday's game you might want to consider taking public transportation. >> absolutely. it could make the trip a lot easier. marina chakmakian with valley transportation authority is here now with some tips. marina first, thanks for joining us. i feel like i've spent several years of my life getting in and out of levi's stadium after games. so what service does vta provide for levi's stadium events? >> yeah, vta service for light rail covers all over south san jose and campbell to milpitas, east san jose and to mountain view. trains are usually crowded, especially for events like these going to the game and packed leaving the game, but you can also connect to other services like bart for those coming from the east bay that can transfer at the milpitas

transit station onto the orange line, or for those coming from the city or the peninsula, they can transfer at the mountain view station onto the orange line as well. vta is simple. it's only $2.50 each way to ride, and we encourage our riders to download the clipper app to tap on and ride just to get to the game safely. >> marina, do you have crowd estimates and based on what you're expecting, did you add the trains like perhaps extra cars or things like that or extra runnings? and are you lengthening the hours of servic? >> yes, we are adding extra trains. we are having enhanced services starting three hours prior to the game, meaning our trains will run every 15 minutes and up to an hour after the game, making sure that nobody is left stranded. and as far as our expectancies for the crowd, we can anticipate up to 15,000

riders to and from the game that can be about 7500 going to the game and 7500 coming back. trains are crowded, but you will have a lot of fun meeting some other fans on the train. >> yeah, the trains will be packed. i'm sure. so if you had to just pick one thing, what's the most important thing that any fan would want to know about? okay, this is my first time taking vta to the game. what do i do? what's the one one piece of advice you would have? >> the biggest piece of advice is to get there early and plan ahead through the transit app. if all the riders, especially those that have never ridden transit before, download the transit app. they can plan their way accordingly. going and coming, and make sure that they don't miss a train as well as get there early enough. since there will be monday commuters at this monday night football game. >> all right, marina chakmakjian from vta. thank you so much. >> all right.

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.
