4:01 pm
a more than 50% decrease in street homelessness in the past two years, but he's concerned that a city in the central valley is threatening to impede their progress. >> we don't need under the cover of darkness and stealthy and tricky maneuvers for some city to move their problem to us. >> that's not the right way to do it. >> in june, mayor keeley says hanford police drove a homeless woman with an undisclosed disability nearly 200 miles to the city of santa cruz, where she was left outside of a local shelter. keeley says the woman is from las vegas and had no ties to his city, but hanford. officers in plain clothes in a police car took her anyways without previous arrangement. now the city council has made the unsanctioned government agency transport of homeless people into the city illegal. >> we would have cited those police officers. it would have been a crime, a misdemeanor. now, let me tell you what i think is going to actually happen. i think this is going to have the deterrent effect we're
4:02 pm
looking for. >> we reached out to the city of hanford. a spokesperson told us the woman, who previously rejected local homeless resources, requested transport somewhere else after suggesting cities which police deemed unfeasible for transport. she landed on santa cruz, a place they say she researched on her own and found shelter options. a statement from city officials says at no point in time did hanford police department officers suggest, encourage or coerce the individual to go to the city of santa cruz. any claims of this nature are flat out false. mayor keeley says he has been unable to get in contact with anyone from the city of hanford. >> we wouldn't do that to another community. we don't want another community doing that to us. >> keeley hopes his council's actions will allow the city to focus on santa cruz residents experiencing homelessness in santa cruz. dustin dorsey abc seven news. >> in the east bay, the berkeley city council voted last night to enforce stricter rules when it comes to sweeping homeless encampments. >> that move is a radical departure for the famously liberal city. abc seven news reporter tim johns has our
4:03 pm
details. >> reporter new rules regarding how to clean up homeless encampments got approved tuesday night by the city council in berkeley. the policy is a more aggressive approach than the city has taken in the past, but one that is needed, says mayor jesse arreguin. >> we have these large, sprawling encampments where there have been major safety issues fires, rats, you know crime, things that pose a risk to the homeless people that are sheltering there and to the broader community. >> during our interview, the mayor stressed that the city would still prioritize a compassionate and housing first approach to dealing with homelessness. he says the new policy is specifically geared to clear encampments the city deems hazardous. even if berkeley is unable to offer shelter, i don't think it's compassionate, honestly, to let people die in the streets. the city says it wants to focus on encampments like this one here along harrison street. but the residents who actually live here believe that the city is going
4:04 pm
about this. the wrong way. that includes aaron spencer, who thinks the new policy is dehumanizing. >> where our rights. where are our rights going? you know, we have a right to property. we have a right to seek privacy. we have a right to be in the public spaces of the city. where else can we go? >> others, like brandy bowman, tell us the city doesn't have enough shelter beds for all of the people living on the streets. bowman says even when shelter is available, it often comes with restrictions that many homeless people find untenable. >> had them come out here and say, see how it feels, see what it's like with nothing. >> tuesday's policy vote was supported by every member of the city council, minus council member cecilia luna parra. luna parra believes until the city has housing available for everyone, the new rules are the wrong way to solve the homelessness crisis. >> it is not effective to take people from the only places and communities that they have found home in outside, and force them 2 to 3 blocks away. >> the idea of sweeping people with nowhere to go from one place to another is a point.
4:05 pm
mayor aragon says he recognizes that's why he plans on working with other bay area leaders to try and address that as well. >> i intend to bring the mayors of alameda county together next month to have a regional conversation about what are we doing since the grants pass decision, and can we better coordinate our response to street encampments and street homelessness? >> the mayor says the sweeps will begin as soon as possible. in berkeley, tim johns abc seven news. >> and now to on those wildfires that are burning in southern california right now. three major fires are burning within 70 miles of each other. multiple structures destroyed, nearly 100,000 acres burned. so far. here's abc news reporter melissa dorn with the latest. >> there is a massive response from firefighters. you can see them out here in the distance. working in these tough terrains in this mountain community to protect nearby homes. thousands of southern california residents forced to evacuate their homes as fast spreading wildfires burn across four different counties.

4:08 pm
look at conditions in the area. spencer. >> okay, kristen and larry, we've got fire concerns across the entire state right now. as you know. here's a look at the bigger picture to show you what the wind pattern is like for much of the state of california, we've got strong gusty winds pounding the coastline because of a tight pressure gradient between low pressure to our northwest and high pressure to our northeast. now, here in the bay area right now, we don't have any fire alerts or advisories in effect in the immediate bay area, but we have wind gusts that have reached 45mph already near the coastline. this afternoon. and not far from the bay area is this red flag warning for parts of the sierra because of the davis fire, which is burning just south of reno for the reno area and the south lake tahoe area, this red flag warning is in effect until 8:00 tonight. the winds have been gusting up to 45mph. generally in that region, with winds up to 75mph over the ridges. so once again, we're looking at these conditions, this red flag warning likely to be lifted by
4:09 pm
8:00 this evening. but it could be extended as that fire in davis is still burning. i'll have a look, a closer look at our local weather here in the bay area in just a few minutes. kristen spencer, thank you. >> and crews are still working to clear a big rig crash that happened overnight in san leandro. yeah. sky seven shows the mess. just a mess when a big rig flipped on its side and caught fire shortly before 230 this morning, blocking lanes on northbound 238 to the northbound 880 connector. the chp says crews are now focusing on loading the trailer that's on the southbound connector. they are asking drivers to take alternate routes. in oakland, all lanes were blocked on westbound highway 24 west of the caldecott tunnel when a big rig overturned around 5 a.m. it was carrying between 30 and 40,000 pounds of lawn sod, which then spilled all over the highway. the driver was taken to the hospital for possible injuries. the backup lasted about five hours. in the south bay, a dramatic accident between a vta train and a car in san jose. the
4:10 pm
car ended up wedged, just crunched between the light rail train and a light pole. first responders say the driver will survive. a second person was injured, but declined treatment. >> a report of a sexual assault on the san francisco state campus this afternoon led to at least one person being taken into custody. we saw a huge police presence at lake merced boulevard and state drive, which is the northern edge of that campus. our crews said one person was in handcuffs being put into a police vehicle. >> remembering september 11th the tributes honoring the victims 23 years later. homeless sweeps in san francisco. abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez looks at the city's new approach and the taylor swift effect. what it could 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.

fall in southern louisiana as a category two hurricane. check out this video on i-10 in louisiana. you can see just how strong some of those winds are. >> and let's take a live look. these are live pictures. this is morgan city. all right. we're going to change out that shot change. it's now biloxi, mississippi. and you can just see from the bouncing of the camera how strong the winds are up there. certainly don't be near the water. it's certainly a point of danger whenever you have these hurricane conditions
4:14 pm
right now. and definitely folks in those big buildings probably hunker down away from the windows in this situation as well. >> and thankfully, nobody on the beach where they would be in peril. possibly. check out the reporter in the middle of the hurricane in louisiana. >> now we are expecting hurricane francine to lose strength as it continues pushing into louisiana. it seems hard to believe that right now that is cnn reporter ivan rodriguez in morgan city, louisiana. >> this was just a few minutes ago. the body of water behind him is a lake that's usually pretty calm. >> it's well, the waves really rough behind him. >> he says more than 70,000 customers without power right now in southern louisiana are dealing with that. and power outages are one of the major concerns with this storm. >> don't know how many hours they'll be pounded for, but let's turn to spencer and find out what it's looking like. >> we are looking at the hurricane right now here. let me give you a view of the or.
4:15 pm
here's the graphic right here. so, as you know, the storm made landfall as a category two, as larry just reported. it's weakening now to a category one, but still a very powerful and potentially dangerous storm, likely to take a pretty much a due northward path over the next day or two. as it weakens into a tropical storm. but this will be a major rain producer and likely to produce widespread flooding. as well. now back to a look at our weather. here's the satellite radar composite image. we've got a tight pressure gradient between low pressure to our northwest and high pressure to our southwest, and that's producing a really powerful onshore flow right now with gusts. current gusts up to 44mph at sfo and strong gusts all over the region, basically 25 to 35 mile per hour winds right now. so let's move along and take a look at 24 hour temperature change. i should mention these winds, these gusts we're experiencing right now will weaken considerably as we get into the late night hours. but for much of the early evening it will remain gusty. 24 hour temperature change shows most locations two to about 7 or 8
4:16 pm
degrees warmer right now than at this time yesterday. so let's check out current temperatures 65 here in san francisco, low to mid 70s in oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city 66 at half moon bay. beautiful blue sky at the golden gate and breezy conditions there as well. 81 degrees in santa rosa, 82 in napa, petaluma only 75. we have low to mid 80s at concord and fairfield and 79 at livermore. and as we look down into the bay from mount tam, these are the forecast headlines. this is still a windy wednesday with gusts are likely to remain up to about 40 35mph at the strongest going into the evening hours. next two days will bring us a minor temperature, bounce back a little bit of a warm up by a few degrees, but over the weekend the outlook calls for fall-like weather with temperatures below average once again. for tonight, we'll see a bit of an increase in clouds low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 50s and then highs tomorrow under mainly sunny skies. 64 half moon bay 71 in san francisco, upper 70s around the bay shoreline warming up to mid to upper 80s inland tomorrow, but nothing very extreme. here's the
4:17 pm
accuweather seven day forecast friday. we gain a couple more degrees with inland highs up to about 90. the winds will relax. then going into saturday we start to cool down again. breezy and cooler conditions there and look at the cool down on sunday and monday only upper 70s inlan, up to about 70 around the bay shoreline. so it will start to feel much more like fall, even though fall is still 11 days away. and larry and kristen. >> all right. thank you spencer. >> just one day after the debate, the candidates for president put aside their differences to pay tribute to the victims of the nine over 11 terror attacks. >> reporter julia benbrook has a look at the remembrances today. >> hours after meeting on the debate stage, former president donald trump and vice president kamala harris meet again this time for a somber moment. the anniversary of the nine over 11 terror attacks. surrounded by other leaders, including president joe biden and trump's running mate, ohio senator jd vance. the two candidates shook hands before the ceremony at ground zero in new york, putting
4:18 pm
political hostilities aside for a moment as the nation remembers the tragedy. >> i know a lot of us are feeling very strong emotions and it's a political time. this is not about politics. thank you for having this service, for our beloved family members. >> nearly 3000 people were killed when terrorists four commercial airliners on september 11th, 2001. two planes crashed into the twin towers of the world trade center in lower manhattan. another plane was crashed into the pentagon, and the fourth crashed into a field in rural pennsylvania after passengers tried to thwart the hijacking. thank you to the first responders. the united states military, and those who continue to fight the war on terror every day. please pray for those still suffering from the effects of nine over 11 and the families left with a void. god bless america. united we stand. after their rare joint appearance in the morning, harris and trump each made other visits to mark the 23rd
4:19 pm
anniversary of the attacks. reporting in washington. i'm julia benbrook. >> there were also tributes here in the bay area. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne vaughn has a look at how the day was remembered here. >> it's hard to believe it's been 23 years since 9/11 is a day that harold hallman will never forget. >> the former menlo park fire chief was part of a california search and rescue team sent to help in new york city. >> first assignment at the trade center. i remember as we're driving across the bridge and, you know, coming in at nighttime, you could see the lights and the smoke and this day, just as in years past, chapple-hyam pauses to remember those lost in the tragedy. >> on this september 11th, 23 years after that fateful day, san francisco's fire department held a ceremony to remember the emergency responders and civilians killed. mayor london breed was among those who turned out in oakland. mayor sheng tao joined the city's fire department and command staff for
4:20 pm
a short ceremony at brooklyn basin along the oakland estuary. >> i don't think that anybody who was alive during that time will forget exactly where they were when they heard that the twin towers had fallen, that airplane would have come in contra costa county. >> families gathered for a somber remembrance with so many stars and stripes, we mourn the nearly 3000 who died that day, who are represented by these flags that are planted. >> we remember the 343 members of the fdny, and the ultimate sacrifice they made when they entered the twin towers. and in union city, flowers at the memorial for the passengers who lost their lives on board united airlines flight 93. >> it was headed to sfo when it was by terrorists after leaving new jersey. three bay area residents lost their lives in the nine over 11 attacks todd beamer and mark bingham of los gatos. they were passengers on flight 93 and flight attendant betty ong of san francisco, who
4:21 pm
was on board american airlines flight 11. loved ones say they were all heroes fighting back or relaying vital information about the hijackers before their planes crashed. >> it's a hard day for everybody. >> a difficult day for so many, but also a day to remember and honor the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who gave everything to help others. 23 years ago in san francisco, suzanne phan. abc seven news. >> alameda county firefighters conducted training in remembrance of the hundreds of firefighters who lost their lives in new york city. but there was a twist to this event. 30 elected officials were invited to watch and get an up close look as they went through various rescue scenarios. there was a clear message. >> and so we've really planned this whole day kind of around that solemn event to say, this is the job that we do. >> and when our policymakers are making decisions on our behalf that affect our livelihoods, hopefully they'll have a little bit of perspective and maybe a remembrance of this day as they go in to make those really
4:22 pm
critical decisions. >> this was one of several events held today by bay area first responders to remember 911. a look back at the transamerica pyramid and a time capsule discovered during a recent renovation. >> hi, i'm chris albers here in santa clara. niners getting ready for their week two matchup against the vikings. the latest on christian mccaffrey's injury status and why george kittle had a unique wardrobe choic

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.
4:24 pm
4:25 pm
practice field today as they prep for their first road game of the season that is sunday in minnesota. abc seven's chris alvarez joins us live in santa clara with the latest on running back christian mccaffrey, who is dealing with a calf slash achilles injury. chris >> yeah, larry. not what you want to be dealing with this early in the season. officially listed as limited in practice, but the stanford man told reporters today his mentality is to go out there and play sunday afternoon in minnesota. we'll have some video of christian day. now, our cameras are only allowed to film one period of practice. so really hard to know how cmc is doing, but that looks pretty good. i'm impressed with the high kicks, larry, but if he fully isn't ready to go, you know what? time to rest him up. it's a long season. you're looking towards the postseason and hopefully another super bowl run. you know what? it makes it a little bit easier when jordan
4:26 pm
mason had a career day like he did 147 yards, 28 carries with the score. now we also had a little bit of fun today in the locker room. now over the weekend brock purdy iowa state cyclones beat george kittle's iowa hawkeyes on a last second game winning field goal. today, dues were paid for the people's tight end. >> it's a small helmet, good size, pretty quickly. yeah, he texted me the score. instantly. i said, thank you, brock. you ruined my whole weekend. it's very funny. >> what would brock had to do today? >> the exact same thing as me right now. is that his old helmet? yeah. he smells like it. thanks, brock. but yeah. no, i had my iowa helmet out here, to. i tried to put a dark visor on this, but brock didn't want me to do that. but it's. i get it. it makes sense. >> gotta love george kittle coming up at five and six. we're gonna hear more from the niners. christian mccaffrey. what he had to say to reporters today. and now circling back to brock and george last year, if you remember brock had to wear an iowa mascot. head to his
4:27 pm
availability. so now this time brother george that is wore the helmet. now larry, what are we going to do for fresno state? hawaii. that's the big question. what is our wager? maybe give you time to think about it. >> okay. all right. you know, i hadn't i mean, we're going to win, so i don't i feel bad taking your money or your food or whatever it is. you got a new baby and all that. i mean, i don't i don't want to be that guy. >> you're going to take my baby. oh my gosh, no, that's way too high. >> you're not taking your baby. i want to i want to be able to sleep at night, chris. anyway, we'll catch. yeah, me too. we'll catch you too. good luck. we'll catch you later on five, six. >> oh my goodness. >> can't believe you're that kind of guy. you take someone's baby like that. >> okay, so see, now here's the here's the narrative that's going to go out there. >> all right, all right. we're going to move on here. coming up cleaning up the tenderloin. >> so it's been more than two months. have you seen any improvements. no >> abc seven news reporter
4:30 pm
months now. building a better bay area means safer and cleaner streets in san francisco. there were high expectations among residents and business owners who have seen their neighborhoods in disarray. >> abc seven news reporter leanne lund is here right now in studio with us to give us a snapshot of the current situation. what is going on in the tenderloin, improvement or no. >> i would say the progress is slow, right? okay, so it was the us supreme court that allowed san francisco to resume these sweeps in one month. more than
4:31 pm
1300 people have been approached offering to help them. now we know people don't jump at the opportunity to go to a shelter, and that's why this effort may take longer than anticipated. on august 1st, the city began taking a more aggressive approach towards people who camp outdoors on san francisco streets, particularly in the tenderloin neighborhood where many of the unhoused congregate. it's now september, so how's it going? we came down here to find out for ourselves without anybody from any city department leading us. we'll find what we find just by walking around the neighborhood. we noticed that conditions here have not changed that dramatically. it appears that there are just as many unhoused people today as before, but fewer tents and structures. here are the numbers from the department of emergency management. 735 tents and structures have been removed in
4:32 pm
the month of august. meanwhile crews from the department of public works, with the help of police, continue to remove trash and ask people to pick up and leave in order to clean the street. >> railway and power wash. i don't want you to get wet. >> all right. >> on average, it takes this kind of manpower between 45 minutes to an hour to sweep and clean just one side of the street. that's if people are willing to cooperate and clean up. it's 1050 in the morning, and city workers, seven of them, are waiting for that one single tent to move. they've been waiting for 20 minutes. the clock is still ticking. while crews worked around the tent, the person inside slowly emerged. it took an hour since the sweeps began. san francisco has taken a more service first approach, offering people
4:33 pm
shelter. the woman who owns the tent, gretchen, told us she has yet to be cited for camping on the street. have you been offered shelter? >> as far as what shelter? a place to stay. like for a homeless person. yeah, yeah they do. they offer me. but you know, i'm not applicable for, you know you're not what i'm not applicable for a homeless shelter. why not. you take advantage of those when you need it. >> but if a business owner said nothing has really changed, they want to be always in the street. >> so i don't know what the benefit of that. maybe in the residing shelter they don't. they are not allowed to do what they are doing outside. and i think this is the main problem. >> do you see them offering them any help. >> always. >> according to city data in august only 202 people accepted
4:34 pm
shelter while 1127 refused any help. as far as we can tell, the work is frustrating for the crews and physically and emotionally hard on the unhoused. gretchen told us she's forced to move 3 to 4 times a week. the process seems exhausting. what what are you going to do from here once you get out of this location? probably sit across the street. that's exactly what she did. she walked up the block, crossed over, and settled on the other side of the street. el ghaly says the same cycle repeats itself. >> the city, they clean it from, they start from 5:00 cleaning. but go in the same side that they have. clean it at 6:00. at 10:00 you will find the same thing. >> in fact, it took less time. while we were there, an hour after that corner was swept and cleaned, people had already
4:35 pm
claimed a spot and the city continues to encourage homeless people to leave by offering a free bus ticket to another location. so how is that going? since august 2022, 857 homeless people have taken advantage of the homeward bound program. that's an average of 35 people a month. now, how did the city do in the month of august? we were told the city helped support 33 people with travel outside of san francisco. so no big news to report there either. >> no dramatic increase? >> no, i think a lot of people just who are not wanting to go to the shelters, have other issues like mental health issues, drug addiction. so that makes it so much harder to convince them. >> so that was what i was going to ask you. most people that would sleep on the street, you would think would want to have a roof over their head, but they
4:36 pm
don't want to follow the rules or because they're impaired in some other way. >> i've heard many times that they have their set of rules and a set of rules that don't apply or are not allowed in these shelters, and therefore they can't stay there or they refuse to stay there. not that the shelters are the best or prettiest, but still, it's something, right? >> still looking for solutions? >> yeah. it's like almost impossible problem to solve. thank you. liane. sure lost today in the music world. legendary soul singer frankie beverly has died. beverly best known as the founder and frontman of the band maze, their mix of soul, funk and r&b captured the attention of marvin gaye, and he gave mase their big break, touring with him as the opening act. maze song before i let go was a staple in the black community, so much so that beyonce covered it in 2019 for her concert film homecoming. beverly's family did not release a cause of death, but he was 77 years old. >> the taylor swift effect and an iconic brand is making some
4:37 pm
4:39 pm
4:40 pm
choice. your research is all yours to do and the choice is yours to make. and since her post, there have been over 306,000 visitors to vote.gov. so it's interesting, you know, if they bring the swifties and i you know, i don't know that they all just walk in step. dan but that would be a powerful voting group. it's part of the reason that the nfl is so excited about taylor swift coming to football games, because it opens up the fan base significantly, and this could be the voters base as well. it's true. and i like what she did. >> she didn't tell. she told you how she's voting, but she didn't tell you how to vote or her fans how to vote. she just encouraged them to do some research and make up their own minds. you know, it's she is a very powerful force in pop culture, and there's no reason she can't speak out just like anyone else, i suppose. harrison trump should be glad she decided not to run for president because she might win. >> yeah, that's a good point.
4:41 pm
it's a good point, spencer. what do you think? >> yeah, i think it's hard to measure the impact of a celebrity endorsement in terms of voter turnout, but it may influence people's opinions. people who are swifties and how they think. but, you know, people under 30, eligible voters under 30 are notorious for not turning out to vote in significant numbers. but certainly it has a positive influence overall, and it may get more to register to register. >> there you go. >> yeah, yeah, i had an idea just to throw out there if she were to say you're if you're a kamala supporter, come to my free concert. imagine if she did that around the country. the impact of that would have show proof of registration to vote, because that's what, you know, trying to get the engagement and you get them involved and think research. >> that's a win. all right. make your own choice. all right. this generation of women is the most stressed about aging. a survey of 2000 american women found almost half say aging causes them stress. gen z and millennials are more stressed, apparently, about getting older than gen x, and baby boomers. more than three quarters of
4:42 pm
