live. donald trump was fired by 81 million people. so let's be clear about that. and clearly,

he is having a very difficult time processing that. >> i had nothing to do with that other than they asked me to make a speech. i showed up for a speech. i said, i think it's going to be big. >> now at six, the first debate between vice president harris and former president trump gets personal. candidates also sparring over abortion, immigration and january 6th. >> then call for new evidence. the attorney representing the teen accused of shooting 40 niners, receiver ricky pearsall, says a different angle of the video will exonerate his client. >> and a star studded lineup announced for one of san francisco's upcoming free music festivals. >> good morning. welcome to wednesday, september 11th. >> yes, we have two sig alerts to tell you about. so we're starting with amanda. >> yeah. and they both involved overturned big rigs from crashes way earlier this morning. we're going to start first in oakland. that's the video you're looking at now this is west of the caldecott tunnel. we know that all lanes are blocked and traffic is being diverted from westbound 24 to northbound 13. drivers will notice long sword

across all lanes because of this crash, which happened at around 455. this morning. the backup is now to camino pablo avenue. traffic is diverting to northbound 13 uplands road. hop on the on ramp off miles avenue to get back onto highway 24. then we do want to take you to some video taken earlier this morning. this is in san leandro. the northbound 238 to northbound 880 connector is also closed due to this big rig crash. we know that it flipped onto its side and then caught fire. that was at 221 this morning, and here we are at 6:00, still causing some major issues. traffic is being diverted there from northbound 238 to southbound 880. another alternate route to consider. take castro valley boulevard to hop on to 580. so either leave very early to make it to anywhere you need to go on time or stay later and hope that these issues clear. with enough time for you to travel at a

different time this morning. let's get back to the desk. >> i'll take it. amanda, that was great information. we know a lot of people don't work from home on wednesday, so you may have a little bit of a longer commute. winds will be the big story in the accuweather forecast today. it is breezy out there already. you can see places like the city, oakland, concord, even fairfield winds between 10 and 15mph. they will pick up later on this afternoon, gusting well over 30mph. so outside this morning we have temperatures mainly in the 50s as we get you going on this wednesday. so looking at the forecast inland, it's a nice looking day a lot of sunshine. but look at the icon this afternoon. that's the windy forecast that we're expecting today. by 4:00 pm. those winds likely 30 35mph. temperatures will be in the low and mid 80s. looking at our bay shoreline forecast, it's a nice looking day, a little warmer than yesterday, but those winds will be an issue. strongest winds will be along the coast. we could see winds 40 45mph here. a mix of sun and clouds. today temperatures along the coast will stay in the mid 60s. we'll

go hour by hour and future weather. take a closer look at these winds. reggie coming up in about seven minutes. >> thank you. drew. the first ever presidential debate between vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump got personal. also, both candidates jabbed back and forth, criticizing each other's policies. >> reporter maggie kent, from our sister station in philadelphia, shows us how both candidates went on the attack. >> reggie aqui and kumasi. it was electric here at the national constitution center last night, both parties hoping to electrify their base with what was said here on the debate stage. both of them declaring victory in this debate where no topic was off limits. >> what's up? good to see you. have fun. >> thank you. starting with a handshake, a first meeting between the candidates, the presidential debate soon became heated. >> donald trump has no plan for you. >> vice president kamala harris with the first word looking to assert control and connect former president donald trump to project 2025, attacking his track record. >> donald trump left us the worst unemployment since the great depression. donald trump

left us the worst public health epidemic in a century. it was trump's goal to link harris to the biden administration's perceived shortcomings. >> the economy and inflation. >> they had the highest inflation, perhaps in the history of our country, because i've never seen a worse period of time. people can't go out and buy cereal or bacon or eggs. >> trump, repeatedly returning to the border issue when asked about january 6th fair elections and the economy. >> what they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country and look at what's happening to the towns, all over the united states. >> i'm the only person on this stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. >> the two also sparred on federal protections of abortion rights. post-debate, harris joined a watch party in philadelphia. >> i think that we think today was a good day, and it kind of was. but we have 56 days to go.

>> trump addressed the media at the spin room. >> a very important debate. now she wants to do another one because she got beaten tonight. but i don't know if we're going to. >> harris says she's up for a second debate. trump has not committed to that just yet, but with less than two months until election day, we know there is a lot of work to be done to win over that very small margin of still undecided voters in philadelphia. maggie kent, abc seven news. >> thank you. maggie. vice president kamala harris dropped by a watch party after the debate. she told the crowd it was a good day, but that they still have a lot of work to do. a man, her campaign also celebrating a big endorsement this morning. >> kumasi minutes after last night's debate, taylor swift gave the endorsement that people have been wondering about for weeks now. in an instagram post, swift said, quote, i will be casting my vote for kamala harris and tim walz in the 2024 presidential election. she called the vp a steady handed, gifted leader, adding, quote, we can accomplish so much more in

this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. supporters of vp harris at the debate were a mix of surrogates and party line crossovers. that includes anthony scaramucci, who served as former president trump's communications director, and governor newsom, now the trump campaign invited robert f kennedy jr along with north dakota governor doug burgum. analysts from both sides had plenty to criticize from the debate. >> she had no answers on immigration. she had no answers. when she was asked about defunding the police, she laid traps and he chased every rabbit down, every hole. >> this is the difference between someone who's well prepared and someone who's unprepared. whoever did debate prep for donald trump should be fired. >> less than an hour after the debate ended, the harris campaign called for another matchup against trump. trump claims vp harris only wants another debate because he says she lost. back to you, reggie. >> thanks, amanda. one debate watch party in the bay area was notable for its very personal

connection to one of the candidates. supporters of vice president harris gathered in her former condo in san francisco. they say she lived there for 17 years before it became a rental on airbnb. >> on the one hand, you have a prosecutor who is well prepared, a policy wonk, a smart human being, and a good debater. and on the other hand, you have a chaos agent who is desperately trying to stay out of prison. this debate is fascinating. >> we also talked with supporters of donald trump at a gop watch party in the city. >> there has to be a change because this illegitimate regime has run us into the ground. prices of beers, prices of food, prices of gas up through the roof. >> the chair of the san francisco republican party said he thought trump did quote very well with the first, and possibly only debate done and early voting soon to begin. we are now in the final stretch of the presidential race. keep up to date at abc seven

news.com/election. >> new developments in the shooting of niners rookie ricky pearsall. the accused gunman's attorney says new video evidence supports his theory that the 17 year old should not be charged with attempted murder. instead, he says the video proves what happened was an attempted robbery. the teenager seen in this different surveillance video just after the shooting last month, was back in court yesterday. he waived his right to a speedy trial. his attorney also pushed back against headlines that his client brought a gun to his high school days before the pearsall incident. >> it's false. it's false news. it's a false narrative. he did not have a gun at school, so never brandished a weapon. if he had that gun at school, three things would have happened. he would have been arrested. they would have filed a petition against him, and he would have been, you know, ejected from the school. none of those things happened. >> the attorney confirmed his client still has an outstanding legal issue in san joaquin county, but didn't give any more

details on that. suspect is expected back in court on the 26th. the da's office has not decided whether it will try to have this case moved to adult court. >> now to a somber remembrance in our nation's history. today marks 23 years since the terrorist attacks on the world trade center. the pentagon and in shanksville, pennsylvania. here in the bay area, many are pausing to remember the lives lost on nine over 11. the san francisco fire department will hold its annual ceremony in honor of the emergency responders and civilians who died september 11th, 2001. that includes three people from the bay area. todd beamer and mark bingham of los gatos. they were passengers on united airlines flight 93 who fought back against the hijackers, preventing the plane from being used as a weapon and flight attendant betty ong of san francisco. she was working on board american airlines flight 11. her brother harry says she was able to relay information about the hijackers before the plane struck the world trade center. san francisco firefighters will hold their ceremony at fire station five at 659. we'll hear the bell.

charming. marking the time the south tower collapsed. there will also be a moment of silence at 702. they'll read the names of each of the new york firefighters and ems providers who died, and flags will be at half staff for the remainder of the day. >> 610 this morning in the accuweather forecast, it will be a sunny day. a little bit warmer than yesterday, but the winds will be pretty active this afternoon. you can see most of us into the 70s and mid 80s today, but those winds will likely gust over 30mph later on this afternoon. so if you have any outdoor furniture, anything that's not secure or tied down, you may want to bring it inside because these winds will be pretty gusty. deeper into the day. the reason why this low pressure is headed towards us. the proximity to this high is creating a wind tunnel effect. and as that low gets closer through the next couple of hours, those winds will begin to pick up that onshore flow, peaking later on this afternoon. looking at our winds as we head throughout the day, you could see this peak happening likely

between about one and 5 p.m. later on today. those winds over 30mph. but some of our favorite spots through our gaps on our ridge tops could see winds closer to 40 45mph. so windy wednesday. that's what we're calling it today. it's a nice looking day. you do expect a lot of sunshine. we don't have a lot of cloud cover. this morning. temperatures mild in the 70s and 80s. but this afternoon you'll certainly feel those winds in excess of 30mph as we head through the rest of the week. it's a nice looking forecast. those winds will finally relax here on friday, but heading into the weekend it feels a bit more fall-like. we'll show you those numbers coming up in a few minutes. >> drew. thank you. coming up, a drug to fight childhood obesity has promising results. what doctors have discovered. then one city's local pride festival is off. this year. the conflict that might be to blame. and a new way to travel through san francisco. a muni route closed for fi

rally in protest of the office of the jewish community relations council in san francisco yesterday. protesters are demanding the institution join the call for the u.s. to enact an arms embargo on israel. >> our jewish values have taught us that every life is a universe, and that no life is more valuable than another. and we are asking jsi rc to live up to these jewish values. >> the jcc has stated its support for israel's right to defend its citizens since the war with hamas began. more than a year ago in the north bay, organizers have decided to cancel the petaluma pride festival. they say they need time to deal with some organizational changes, but the group's former president is citing the israel-hamas war as the primary reason. started in 2022, the festival was scheduled to take place over three days in october. on its official website, it says the event will return in 2025. a woman who describes herself as a queer

palestinian put out this statement. it reads in part, quote, i have resigned as president of petaluma pride and severed all ties with the organization due to due to systemic issues within the board. the breaking point came when a board member who i once considered a friend, made dismissive comments about the genocide affecting my people, unquote. the full lineup for this year's hardly strictly bluegrass festival is now out. rock and roll. rock and roll hall of fame musician patti smith leads the lineup. smith previously performed at hardly strictly in 2012 and most recently was in san francisco at stern grove last summer. more than 60 artists are set to take over the stages in golden gate park next month. the festival runs october fourth to the sixth, and this is the one that is totally free to attend. >> jell-o is getting into the home decor game with a new line of inflatable chairs. they come in four colors. i'm sure you can guess red, yellow, green, and orange. representing jell-o's best selling flavors strawberry, lemon, lime, and orange. the

company says the chairs are inspired by the iconic jell-o molds. there's even a built in cup holder so you can put what else your jell-o. the chairs are $30. you can get them on amazon for a limited time. they're part of the jelly collection. >> >> and now you're gonna tell me what the thing that we always tell people at the end of a whole story. >> i can't do it. not usually. >> it's either. it's available in europe. it's available on the third monday when the moon is full or it's already sold out. and in this case, it's already sold out. more plastic for the garbage dump. >> this very much reminds me of the late 90s. we were obsessed with inflatable furniture for some reason. do you remember that? >> yeah. and i left it in the past. yeah. >> i did not want that. why were we so obsessed with sitting on things we could blow up? thank you. >> if you walk into someone's apartment and they have anything that is inflatable, run. >> that is your sign. >> that's a sign to run out. >> also live. love. >> laugh. make an immediate exi.

>> what if you have, like, an inflatable. live love. laugh sign. that's just like automatic. >> you need to protect yourself first. you need to. >> you need to do it when there's a fire. you need to. >> you need to drop rock and roll right out the door. >> so i will have you over after i redecorate. yeah, yeah, yeah. no, i'm just kidding. >> famously, you do have a bounce house. i do. so you actually have an inflatable in your home? yes. >> but see, then that means it's not safe. put it away. i'm not. that's true. >> that's true. it's in a box. >> yes. what about you? live. laugh. love. sign. live for the bounce house. you know, for the entrance. >> live. laugh. jump >> oh my gosh! let's jump to the forecast, shall we? as we look at the accuweather headlines, it is going to be a windy day today. this is the tam cam. see the sun is getting up here. the camera is shaking. the big headline your big takeaway for your wednesday is the wind. it's going to gust over 30mph at times. some of our favorite spots, like our hilltops. our gaps could see winds closer to

40 45mph. so if you have outdoor furniture, anything that's not secure, make sure it's tied down. bring it inside because this afternoon will feature those pretty strong winds. temperatures are on their way up the next three days we'll find warmer weather, but by the weekend it's the reverse. we'll find more fall like conditions saturday and sunday with temperatures going below average. winds will be the story today. let's talk about them by 4 p.m. this afternoon. here's that onshore flow. it is strengthening a lot of us seeing those winds in excess of 30mph i think through the delta across the city, along the coast will likely see those winds closer to 40, 45mph. so today's forecast we're highlighting that wind. it picks up later throughout the day. your inland forecast. we'll actually get into the mid 80s a lot of sunshine. but that wind is going to be in the forecast today around the bay shoreline. it's a similar story that westerly wind 20 30mph. and those winds will be strongest along the coast with temperatures mainly in the mid 60s. so highs today it's a little bit warmer than yesterday. we'll get into the

70s and 80s. so temperature wise feels very nice out there. we'll have a lot of sunshine. not nearly as cloudy as we were yesterday morning, so we'll see a pretty sunny start to the day. but those winds again gusting about 30 35mph in most spots overnight. tonight the winds will begin to back off. overnight lows will mainly dip into the 50s as we head into thursday. the accuweather seven day forecast showing you a windy wednesday here tomorrow. we'll keep that breeze with us before the winds finally back off here on friday. friday is also the warmest day we have on the seven-day forecast, heading into the weekend. we'll bring back the marine layer will also start to cool off those temperatures dipping below average, feeling fall-like and that does continue into early next week guys. >> thank you drew. now we're checking in with ginger zee who is live with what's coming up on gma. >> and don't worry we will get to this haircut. hi ginger. >> hi, reggie. hi, kumasi. it's great to be with you. so coming up here on gma, we do have a lot to get to. it starts with the

reaction to the debate between vice president harris and donald trump. the two nominees faced off last night. and our political team was right there breaking it all down now. and how it could impact the race with less than two months to go. also, i'm covering hurricane francene. you can see it there. should make landfall later this afternoon through tonight in louisiana. but it's mississippi, alabama, even the florida panhandle that could have some impacts. and then all the way up to tennessee with a flash flood threat. and in your state, we've got our team mola there bringing us the latest on evacuations and firefighter injuries from all of the fires. and wow, does that dense smoke make its real appearance all the way to the arizona state line. so i'll get into that. also, amazon's new move to take on rivals, including walmart and target in the grocery aisles. you'll see that. and so much more on gma. >> i'll ask you is this bob. >> we love it. >> we love it. >> and thank you is bob. >> yeah i'm liking it. and i've got a i am loving the beautiful response. people are very kind. but i got a real test with my youngest son because if you recall, he told me not to do it ahead of time and he got off the

bus yesterday, barely made any eye contact. flip flips his eyes to me and he goes, i hate it. kept walking. and i was like, no, i mean, i expected that. and then i had a talk with him. i said, well, you can have your opinion, but hate is too strong of a word for a haircut. it's just hair. and then later in the night i'm putting him to bed and i was like this with him. and he he goes, why'd you do it? oh, wow. >> oh no opinions. strong >> so coming from inside the house, opinions. >> and you know what? thankfully i've dealt with social media my whole life, so i was like, that is very nice to hear your opinion. i really appreciate you, miles, but mommy is going to do what she's going to do and i like it. >> no, come on. what about adrian? >> adrian loved it. he walked up. he's like, oh, cool. mom looks really different. i like it, he's the easy one. yeah. >> you know what? it's because he. he really. no he really knows mommy a certain way. and i think that that's what it is. it's an attachment to that mommy

change is hard. and change can be hard for kids. that's right. right. >> and he's my husband. and they love to have an opinion on something. and the way he delivered those lines so succinctly, he knew he was going to get a laugh, like, come on, that's what he's searching for. a little emotional provocation. you know what, as i say, as so many others say, but i especially say commit to the bit and miles really does. >> so i do appreciate that. but really, we really love it. this is it's beautiful. it looks so. >> thank you. >> okay i just want to reiterate so much, ginger. we will see you and the when your child has moderate-to-severe eczema, it's okay to for them to show off. show off their clearer skin and noticeably less itch with dupixent. because children 6 months and older with eczema have plenty of reasons to show off their skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists and allergists, they can stay ahead of their eczema.

it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your child's skin from within. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your child's eczema specialist about dupixent.

traffic alert here at 626. we're continuing to follow two sig alerts impacting the drive through the east bay. we're going to start in oakland. this is west of the caldecott tunnel. all lanes are blocked because of an overturned big rig. we've been tracking this since about 455. this morning. there is also a hard closure between highway 13 and broadway. so because of this, it's causing a 60 minute delay. drivers will notice lawn sod across all lanes as they try to make their way through here. although we know that there is no movement right now with the

backup to saint stephen's drive, an alternate route to take since traffic is being diverted to northbound 13 is uplands road. hop on the onramp off miles avenue to get back onto highway 24, and then in san leandro. we'll try to get you through this as well. this is northbound 238 to northbound 880. that connector remains closed because of a big rig crash that flipped onto its side and then caught fire. this actually happened just before 230 this morning. still causing some major issues. traffic is being diverted from northbound 238 to southbound 880, with that back up to redwood road. on westbound 580, an alternate route to take here would be castro valley boulevard and then hop on 580. you can see speeds down to five miles per hour as people try to navigate this kumasi. back to you. >> wow, a lot going on. thank you. amanda. new at six, the l taraval light rail service in san francisco is reopening this month following half a decade of construction in the sunset

neighborhood. sfmta announced saturday, september 28th, is when riders will be able to ride the light rail between embarcadero station and the san francisco zoo. this reopening will eliminate the need for a bus transfer at west portal station. the trains will run every ten minutes and every 12 minutes on the weekends. the l bus service will be discontinue. next, at 630, governor newsom on hand for the presidential debate. how he reacted to vice president harris's performance. then a viral video raising questions about the health and safety of the food carts in san francisco. after this hot dog vendor is handcuffed

they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org

also see some sun. drew is back with her full forecast and face to face vice president harris and former president trump getting personal at their first debate. >> we are live in philadelphia with the reaction and two delta planes collide while taxiing at the atlanta airport. >> at least one tail section got knocked off. >> good morning everybody. it is wednesday, september 11th. and drew. we're so happy you're

back. i'll be back with you. >> i miss you too. >> we are first going to go to amanda, though, because she has a lot to talk about. >> yeah, we are tracking two major sig alerts. major separate issues over in the east bay. but first, i want to start with drive times. you will see 30 minutes from walnut creek to 580. when you're taking 24 and then seven minutes, 70 minutes, i should say tracy to dublin on that typical slowdown along the altamont pass. but i do want to start in san leandro with a crash that has been causing issues since about 221. this morning. the connector ramp from 238 to 880 is closed due to a big rig that crashed and then flipped onto its side and then caught fire. we know traffic is being diverted from northbound 238 to southbound 880. traffic there backed up to redwood road on westbound 580. another alternate route to consider. take castro valley boulevard and then hop onto 580 there and then. i do want to take you to oakland, west of the caldecott tunnel. all lanes continue to be blocked on westbound 24. this is

because of an overturned big rig, and traffic is being diverted from 24 to northbound 13 because of a hard closure between 13 and broadway. so just a headache trying to navigate that area. this is causing a 60 minute delay. drivers will notice landslide across all lanes there with the backup to saint stephen's drive. if you can today, either leave very early or stay much later. although we don't know about an estimated time of reopening for either issue. let's go to gloria rodriguez now, who is live on scene in west town. maria yeah, right now we're on eastbound 24. >> we're near the wilder road exit, right near orinda. and behind me. you could see the backup. you can see the big rig where we are. but we did drive by it and you could see the big rig on its side. we also saw long sword across the freeway. it is just a big mess over there and here on the roads. as you can see as well, all lanes of

westbound highway 24 near northbound state route 13 are closed west of the caldecott tunnel in oakland because of that overturned big rig. traffic is being diverted from westbound 24 to northbound state route 13, and right now this is causing a 30 minute delay. there's a backup to camino pablo avenue and an alternate route. if you take this route, usually you can go on uplands road. just hop on the on ramp off miles avenue to get back on highway 24 and back here live again. a big backup in this area. i just talked to chp. they do think that this is a solo vehicle accident, but they are still investigating. they don't know right now what time they're going to reopen. all those lanes. they also don't know at this moment if there are any injuries. so i'm hoping to get another update from chp soon so we can give you the very latest information. back to you in the studio. >> thanks, laura. you can see in that live shot that it is breezy there in the east bay. winds

will be the big story as we head throughout the afternoon today. breezy right now through oakland, the city, the delta between about ten and 20mph. these numbers will pick up dramatically later on this afternoon. we'll likely see winds 30 to 45mph by the end of the day. temperatures right now as we get you going. we're mainly in the 50s and in the 60s with some of our sheltered valleys in the north bay, parts of sonoma and napa county. look at napa right now. chilly, a current temperature of 49 degrees. it's a nice looking day. not a lot of cloud cover out there to start. certainly sunny, but there you can see inland that windy icon. it's going to be gusty this afternoon. daytime highs will be in the low and mid 80s inland around the bay shoreline. we'll have the same problem. it will be windy today. those winds frequently gusting over 30mph. if you have outdoor furniture, anything that's not secured or tied down, you do want to bring it inside or make sure it is secure. as those winds pick up throughout the day along the coast, we could see winds gusting over 40mph. mix of sun and clouds. today we'll get

those daytime highs in the mid 60s. reggie drew, thank you. >> your voice, your vote. the nation watches vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump met for the first time ever on a debate stage. >> abc news hosted and moderated their pitch to voters, which included some of this election's most critical moments. abc news reporter christiane cordero live in philadelphia with the highlights from the debate. good morning, christiane. >> kumasi reggie, good morning to you both. yeah. this debate had a little bit of everything, right. personal attacks. partizan divide, a pledge for unity and a bizarre perpetuation of false claims about haitian migrants eating pets. fact checked on the spot. the setting, of course. the national constitution center, as both of these candidates battle for their spot in history. it started with a handshake. >> kamala harris. what's up? good to see you. have fun. >> a brief moment of diplomacy between vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump before the gloves came off tonight, you're going

to hear from the same old tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances and name calling. >> she's a marxist. >> everybody knows she's a marxist. >> the economic pitch to voters led the debates, harris leaning into her middle class roots. >> my plan is to give a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses, knowing they are part of the backbone of america's economy. >> trump, doubling down on his tariff plan, which economists say would be a tax on americans and pinning inflation on harris. >> when i had it, i had tariffs and yet i had no inflation. we have inflation like very few people have ever seen before. >> on abortion, trump wouldn't commit to vetoing a national abortion ban, instead repeating this false claim. >> but her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. harris, then going on the attack trump abortion bans that make no exception ev and incest. >> a survivor of a crime of violation to their body does not have the right to make a

and as we get close to each other, it creates that wind tunnel effect that we'll have later on this afternoon. looking at our winds as we go, hour by hour, they do pick up over the next several hours. they're likely going to peak between about one and 5 p.m. later on today. if those winds over 30mph, we'll likely find some gusts along the coast and through our hilltops closer to 40 45mph. so just be aware of that. it's a nice looking day. we have a lot of sunshine on the way. 70s and 80s. a little bit warmer than yesterday, but those winds will be an issue heading into the weekend. feels a b
