today, the country is marking 23 years since the nine over 11 terror attacks. events are being held across the country today, including right here in the bay

area. thank you for joining us. i'm kristen tsay. it was an emotional morning as people remembered those who lost their lives in the nine over 11 terrorist attacks. >> every year, the san francisco fire department holds a remembrance ceremony in honor od civilians who were killed. >> the department does this across all of their facilities. mayor london breed was also in attendance. and in oakland, at brooklyn basin along the oakland estuary, the city's fire department chief command staff, members of the fire department, and mayor chantele gathered for a short ceremony this morning. >> just think about the sacrifices that we make to protect our own community. the courage it takes, the valor, the integrity, all of the things that that represent the fire service but really represent the city of oakland, oakland fire department. >> there are three heroes from the bay area who died during the nine over 11 attacks.

>> todd beamer and mark bingham of los gatos. they were passengers on united airlines flight 93, which was scheduled to fly to san francisco that morning. they are said to have fought back, forcing the terrorists to crash the plane into a field in shanksville, pennsylvania, and the third flight attendant, betty ong of san francisco, was on board american airlines flight 11. her brother, harry says betty was able to relay vital information about the hijackers before her plane hit the world trade cente. this morning, vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump shook hands again as they arrived at the nine over 11 anniversary ceremony in downtown manhattan. trump described the exchange as very polite when he was asked about it later in the day during his visit to shanksville. he did not reveal what the two candidates said to one another. the meeting came less than 12 hours after harris and trump squared off during last night's contentious presidential debate. abc news reporter nguyen has the latest. >> today in a rare public appearance together, president biden, alongside both

presidential candidates vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump all gathering in new york to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the nine over 11 terrorist attacks. the two nominees meeting for the first time just one day before walking onto the debate stage in a power move. harris initiating a handshake. >> kamala harris, let's have a good debate. you see, you have fun. thank you. thank you. >> harris set out to hold trump accountable for his record, blaming him for the new abortion restrictions across the country, saying what he is putting women through is unconscionable. >> donald trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. >> the former president refusing to commit to veto a national abortion ban. >> but if i could just get a yes or no because your running mate jd vance has said that you would veto it if it did come to your desk. >> well, i didn't discuss it with jd. in all fairness, jd and i don't mind if he has a certain view, but i think he was

speaking for me. but i really didn't. >> trump hitting harris on immigration. >> they're destroying the fabric of our country by what they've done. >> what we have in the former president is someone who would prefer to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. >> trump kept going back to immigration and the southern border. it is one of the strongest issues he has. on the other side, you saw harris with some of her stronger moments talking about abortion rights and very emotional and visceral terms on the economy. >> harris touted a plan for tax breaks for small businesses and a first time homebuyer credit for down payments. trump had won the coin toss and chose to give the closing statement. >> they've had three and a half years to create jobs and all the things we talked about. why hasn't she done it? >> both presidential candidates will be right back out on the campaign trail this week. tomorrow, harris heads to north carolina. trump to arizona. and when abc news, washington. >> so with the first and possibly likely only debate done and early voting soon to begin,

we're now in the final stretch of the presidential race. in a few minutes, we'll break down the post-debate polls and discuss how much it may have moved the needle, if at all, in the tight race. keep up to date on abc seven news.com/election. three days after his detainment by miami dade police, dolphins wide receiver tyreek hill says he could have been better in terms of how he handled the situation. on sunday, hill was pulled over for speeding roughly three hours before the dolphins season opener against the jacksonville jaguars. body camera footage released monday night shows hill was slow to roll his window down when asked by the officer who pulled him over. now, when he didn't pull over or comply right away, he was dragged from the car and pinned on the ground. as you can see, until he was handcuffed. >> you know, i'm human. i gotta i gotta follow rules, i gotta you know, do what you know, everyone else would do, you know? so now, does that give them the right to literally beat

the dog out of me? absolutely not. but at the end of the day, i wish i could go back and, you know, do things a bit differently. >> the officer involved was placed on administrative leave. hill says the officer needs to be fired. he also says the officer's legal representation reached out to him in an effort to apologize, but the offer was declined. we're hearing from a street vendor and san francisco police after an attempt to stop the vendor from selling on the embarcadero turned into a violent scuffle. there is video of the incident. the video shows hot dog vendor ana luisa casimir hookah on the ground as police try to detain her. her five year old daughter is also seen in the video crying. the port of san francisco says they and the city workers conduct regular enforcement of unpermitted vending on port property. sfpd says they were providing security at the time. officers say they got involved over the

weekend when the vendor allegedly attacked a port employee. the vendor was detained and released at the scene, according to sfpd. hookah tells abc seven right now, she can't make a living selling food because of her injuries and her cart being confiscated. >> la cabeza todo todo todo esto es. >> my whole head. everything bruised. how is it possible they did this to me? >> an sfpd spokesperson says food and safety vending laws were broken in addition to the alleged assault on the port employee. the san francisco police are also claiming that a bystander told the vendor's daughter to try to cry and manipulate the situation. frankie beverly, the lead singer of the collective frankie beverly and maze, has died at the age of 77. beverly founded the group maze in 1970. their mix of soul, funk and r&b captured the attention of legendary singer marvin gaye. he invited them to tour with him as

an opening act after their big break. they relocated from the east coast to san francisco. their song before i let go will forever be an unofficial anthem to summer. beyonce even covered it for her 2019 concert film homecoming. beverly said that was one of the high points of his life. beverly's death was announced on social media by his family. the cause of his death is unclear. much more still ahead on the presidential debate last night. how did the debate affect the polls for both kamala harris and donald trump? we'll talk with the vice president of california

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. offered up sharply contrasting

styles and views of america. what was the actual impact? have voters views of them changed? have polls moved? joining us live now to share some insights. the vice president of california based political data inc, paul mitchell. hey paul. >> hey. how are you doing? >> good. good, good, good. i'm sure you know, it was like your super bowl last night. so let me just ask you what was your overall take on the debate after all the popcorn you consumed? >> well, it's definitely a lively debate. and it's oftentimes when you're watching this, it seems very exciting to a lot of us who have been online all the time or watching this election for a long time. and really intensely focused on it, it did kind of feel like a super bowl. but the real question is how voters, particularly those swing voters or voters that are going to decide this election in the rust belt or the upper midwest or in the sun belt, like arizona, nevada, georgia, north carolina. what did those voters think? and going into the debate, there was some really interesting polling that showed that almost 30% of voters felt they needed to learn more about

kamala harris, compared to around 9% of voters saying the same about trump and the goal, really, for the harris campaign should have been to come in here and to tell voters something about her. and it seems as though looking at the poll or looking at the debate and some real kind of snap polls, that she did a pretty good job, i'm not surprised she asked for a second debate, because i think she probably still has work to do in that area. >> i was just going to say, right, if it were to be more about telling her story and what she would do for the american people, does she succeed? there because if you hear all the pundits and everybody, all the analysis, they say she did a great job in looking presidential, looking calm and all that. but in terms of, you know, what's important and what you refer to about what voters need to know about her. do you think that was a home run? >> well, so that's the she's in an election unlike any other election we've seen in our lifetimes where she's essentially several weeks into an election where donald trump is several years into an

election. and so we are in this environment where voters kind of know who kamala harris is, but also don't know it's the kind of most famous person in the world that nobody really knows. and as such, she wanted to try to let people know about her policies. what issues were important to her. the polling that we've done here in california did show that 55% of voters said they learned more about the policies of kamala harris, versus 31% of voters who said the same for trump. so it does seem as though she's done some of the work. but 45% of voters said they didn't learn more about her policies. and again, i think that's where she probably could use a couple more runs of this. either another debate or more events that draw voters to really pay attention to her policies. >> right. well, 30 something percent for trump may not be too bad, considering he talked about the concept of a plan. but let's talk about in terms of other things that we're watching, which is favorability, right. and just the who won. i mean, those things may not necessarily

determine, hey, this is the person i'm voting for on the ballot or but nonetheless, they do influence how you feel about the candidates. so what do they say? yeah. >> so to point out that it really doesn't matter. so much about who won last night. mitt romney won the first debate against obama and then went to on lose the election. but i think we see all the analysis right now pointing to the fact that kamala harris won this debate. she was able to poke and prod trump enough to get him off message. in fact, in a question about immigration, which is probably his most important issue, she was able to goad him into talking about crowd sizes and going off on tangents about viktor orban. so the ability that she had to kind of lead that debate and to drive it where she wanted, she really got the debate that she wanted out of this. so i think it's pretty clear that she won it. but what we really have to see is in the days to come, say thursday, friday into the weekend, we start to get some polling. does she get any kind of a bump out

of this? does she actually have an impact on the race? because it's fine to say that she won a debate, but the real proof is in the pudding. and that is how she looks going towards election day. whether or not this is a race that is still dead, even kind of 5050, or if this is a race where she can actually start to create a substantial lead. >> i mean, i saw some polls that said, yes, she won, but it didn't really change how i'm going to vote and i'm still not voting for her. i think the number of undecideds was already pretty low, right? the influence polls, if you will. and then, as you said, it's really only in certain pockets in certain states with certain segments of the population. so dive a little deeper into that, like do we know whether she made inroads with the people? she was weakest with, if you will? >> yeah. so let's think about undecideds as two different buckets. there's the undecided meaning i don't know if i want to vote for trump or harris, but there's also the people who are undecided as to whether they're going to vote or not. and so we look at her ability to drive messages to both of those. so when we talk about the undecided voters, maybe, who are looking

for a kind of moderate or middle candidate, you know, her talking about fracking, her talking about being a gun owner, her actually, you know, name checking weapons that are used in ukraine. those kind of things were likely things that we've never seen. a democrat in a debate talk about. and, and something that was done to try to appeal to those voters who might be deciding between trump and kamala harris. and then on the other element, the turnout, enthusiasm. we do see a uh- in polling a bump in people being enthusiastic about voting for her. the people who want to vote for her 68% in the most recent polling i've seen said that they were extremely excited about voting for her compared to mid 50% for donald trump. if that does go forward, you could see those unlikely voters turning out, which is another part of the formula, right? >> because that is a driver to the polls. more so than just i really don't like the other guy uh- policy. i've learned a few things from you. all these conversations we've had. thank you so much. it was great

talking with you. >> always great talking with you. take care. >> all right. take care. don't go away. because coming up more political coverage. breaking down the facts versus the fiction from last

as vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump sparred over the issues. how many true and false things were said. to help us sort out fact from fiction, we talked on midday live with the executive director of politifact, aaron sharockman. >> 90 minutes of craziness, right? it's a kind of a super bowl for fact checkers. and what i could tell you is that uh- over 90 minutes, there were a lot of things that were said that were not entirely true. some were much more false than others, but really, i have to say that i have to first commend lindsey, lindsey davis and david muir for the job they did, trying to fact check the candidates live and in real

time. this is not an easy job, i thought they did great pushing back on a couple of the talking points that we saw that were inaccurate or misleading. >> so let's talk about one of those talking points, one of those issues that's certainly making headlines this morning from last night. and it involves claims that immigrants coming to the u.s. are eating people's pets. we want to play that clip and then get your reaction. >> in springfield, they're eating the dogs. the people that came in, they're eating the cats. they're eating. they're eating the pets of the people that live there. >> and of course, david muir pushing back on those claims and saying the city manager says that that's not true. aaron, your take on this. >> yeah. so politifact agrees with david muir in this case, we rated that claim pants on fire. that's the lowest rating that we offer at politifact. this is an unfounded rumor. it's spread on social media and somehow it landed in the mouth of the republican candidate for president, the reality here is,

is the city, the mayor, the city police, all of all of them say this is not happening, we actually after hearing this claim, we put a fact checker on an airplane. they'll be in springfield later today to report more on this story. donald trump has gone to his truth social account and tried to post some evidence to suggest he's correct, but the evidence he's posted since then is wrong, this attack against haitian immigrants is not really met with any factual evidence, really, to support it. again, an internet rumor that spread all the way to the debate stage last night. but there's no truth to it. >> all right. now let's listen to a clip of kamala harris, her claim about unemployment in the trump era. >> donald trump left us the worst unemployment since the great depression. >> all right. so was that one pants on fire as well, or was that completely accurate or true, or was it perhaps half

true in that the intent and the direction are right, but that there is something a little bit off about the way she said it? >> yeah, it's a good question in this case, we ended up saying this claim was false, and really the key here is the words left us, the unemployment rate spiked to a post great depression record of about 14.8% in april 2020, right as the pandemic began to rage. obviously, trump was still in office then, but trump didn't leave biden or harris with a record or a near record unemployment rate when he left office in december of 2020, the rate had fallen to 6.4%. today, it's 4.2% that is high for recent history, but it's not anywhere near numerous spikes of the unemployment rate during previous recessions. >> sticking with the economy here, we have another clip from the former president. let's listen in. >> it was a fraud. just like there are a number of 818,000 jobs that they said they created, turned out to be a

fraud. >> so where does this would land on the politifact scale? >> yeah. so this is a back and forth about the number of jobs that joe biden and kamala harris have been saying they created. this is a claim that we rate pants on fire, saying that this was a fraud is just defies logic. so basically, what happened was the federal government reduced the projection, a projection of the number of people employed by 818,000 right before the dnc started. so it actually kind of rained on kamala harris's parade. and why this makes no sense logically, is if this was truly a fraud, something that the government was covering up or or faking, they wouldn't have released the report. they would have left the numbers stay inflated and high, or they would have lied about what the numbers were are. further, we talked to economists, republicans and democrats, and they said the same thing that no matter who the president is, this is the way we do it. it may not be

perfect, but this is how we count jobs in this country. >> we're just we're totally out of time. but in five seconds, how many pants on fire did each candidate have? >> oh, gosh, you're going to test me. go to politifact.com to see. but there's plenty there for you to look at. we have more than 25 fact checks overall on the website right now. >> all right, a really good tease, as we say here in the biz, aaron sharockman from politifact. we really appreciate your time. thanks for being here. >> thanks, guys. >> still ahead, checking the bay area temperatures for you. a live look here from this is the coit tower photo shot that we have. it is lovely and spencer christian will have your full

breezy actually in some at some points it's been very gusty around the bay area. here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. you can see why we have these strong gusty winds, low pressure up in the pacific northwest there with this counterclockwise circulation, high pressure down to our southwest with this clockwise circulation and the combination here is producing a well, we have a tight pressure gradient producing a really strong onshore flow. you might expect a sharp cool down under conditions like this. but that hasn't occurred yet. but look at the wind gusts right now 44mph at sfo, 35mph at oakland. all around the bay area, it is quite windy right now. give you a look at the wind gusts animation going into the evening hours. it will remain pretty gusty until late tonight. as we approach midnight, we'll see the winds taper off rather sharply, giving us a breezy conditions overnight but not strong. gusty wind as we have this afternoon and the 24

hour temperature change is quite impressive as well. most inland areas are. excuse me, inland areas are about 5 to 8 degrees warmer right now than at this time yesterday. closer to the bay. more like two, 3 or 4 degrees warmer. here's the view from our rooftop camera looking across the embarcadero under breezy, gusty conditions and blue skies. 64 degrees here in san francisco. right now we have low 70s at oakland and hayward, mid to upper 70s from redwood city to san jose at 64 degrees at half moon bay, blue sky and breezy conditions over the golden gate, 84 degrees right now at santa rosa, petaluma. only 7783. napa 87, fairfield, concord 83 and 77 at livermore and here's a clear view from mount tam looking down onto the bay and onto parts of san francisco. this is windy wednesday. gusts up to 35mph, plus our likely still likely going into the early evening hours next two days, thursday and friday. a minor bounce back in the temperature range at two degrees here, two degrees there.

but not a major warm up. and then over the weekend, a fall like outlook with temperatures below average and in fact, they're going to drop pretty sharply as we head into the weekend. so for tonight, there'll be some clouds advancing onshore as we get into the overnight hours. and in the wee hours of the morning, and it will be comfortably cool overnight with low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 50s. and then tomorrow look for mainly sunny skies. breezy again, but not gusty like today. highs will range from mid 60s at the coast to mid and upper 70s around the bay shoreline to mid 80s mainly in our inland areas. now let's look ahead at friday. we'll see a little bit of a warming trend here. not a warming trend, but a little bit of a warm up with high temperatures in an approaching 90 degrees on friday. but then on saturday, temperatures drop off pretty sharply. and even more of a drop off will occur on sunday. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast. inland highs up to about 88 in the warmest spots tomorrow, up to about 90 on friday. but on

saturday we'll have breezy and cooler weather inland. highs only in the mid 80s mid 70s around the bay shoreline. there will be further cooling on sunday and monday with inland highs only in the upper 70s, up to about 70 around the bay shoreline, and the temperatures bounce back a couple of degrees on tuesday and wednesday. generally, this is a fall like pattern with temperatures a little bit below average for this time of the year. kristen >> it is, and i think it feels just fine. spencer thank you so much. of course we'll see you at four. and thank you for joining us. world news tonight with david muir starts right now. and i'll see you back here at four as well. bye bye tonight, breaking news as we come on the air. a category 2 hurricane slams into the u.s. the wildfires burning outside los angeles. and just in tonight, more than 70 million people watched the abc news presidential debate last night.
