practice today. he missed all of monday night. as i mentioned with the calf and achilles injury. now, if he can't go, it's going to be more of jordan mason, who came off a career game filling in for cmc. and here's what christian said on what he expects of himself sunday. come kick off. >> my mentality is i'm playing this week. that's that's where i'm at. that's how i am every week. you know, i'm not lying. i think as soon as a player says, you know, maybe i'll play, maybe i won't. that's not a good mentality to go into a week with, you know, when you're kind of on the, on the fence. so for me, i'm ready to go. it's artificial turf. any issue. no. yeah. if you can't run on turf you can't run on the field. can't run on grass, can't run on turf. i think if you can go, you can go. >> is it way premature to suggest that he could maybe go on ir just to make sure he's good for the rest of the year or something you've never even considered at this point? >> no, i've never considered that. i was considering him to play last week, so definitely not thinking about four weeks off. >> so that's a little bit of a good sign from head coach kyle

shanahan. of course, if mccaffrey went on ir, he'd missed the first four games. now there was some fun today in the locker room. brock purdy went to iowa state george kittle went to iowa. now brock purdy is iowa state. cyclones beat kittle's iowa hawkeyes saturday on a last second game winning field goal. there was a little wager and today kittle had to pay up on that bet. >> oh, this is 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, it smells like it. >> thanks, brock. >> but. yeah no, i had my iowa helmet out here, too. 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. last year, iowa beat iowa state. so brock purdy actually showed up to his media availability with a big hawkeye mascot head on. what are they going to do next year? i'm actually super

intrigued now with this iowa state iowa rivalry, because those two guys, they send it back to you and they're making a lot of fun. >> it smells like it. that was good. thanks, chris. all right. let's get a check on our weather. that wind was gusting today. >> it is. and it's spreading some fires. we've been talking about meteorologist sandhya patel is here. sandhya. yeah, and we're not out of danger yet. >> dan and ama, take a look at this live picture from our santa cruz camera. a very shaky view as you will notice. so choppy waters. we have gale warnings going up for parts of the san francisco bay through tomorrow night. small craft advisories outside the bay. gusts right now. 43 at oakland, 44 sfo, 33, in novato. even places like san jose 28 napa 31 miles an hour. those winds are fierce. going hour by hour. 6:00 tonight. still gusty across the region. winds start to back off just a little bit at 8 p.m, but they will die down even more later on tonight. and by tomorrow morning it will be a different day. not quite as windy. it will be a

breezy afternoon as we head into thursday 3:00. you will notice 24 point reyes, 23 san francisco, oakland. but like i said, not nearly as strong. let me show you the setup here and why we are seeing the windy conditions. high pressure is over the eastern pacific. there's a trough moving to the north. we are pretty much squeezed in between. so the winds are just funneling through california. and that's why we are facing the gusty winds right now on live doppler seven. the atmosphere is well mixed, only a few patches of clouds lingering near the coast. temperatures are responding to the well mixed atmosphere. you will notice it is a milder day. up by six degrees. oakland livermore nine degrees warmer in santa rosa and up to in san jose. san rafael cameras showing you the trees blowing around 66 in the city right now 70 oakland, hayward, san jose, redwood city. a live view from our kgo roof camera. and you can certainly see the flag just blowing around in the wind. 70s from santa rosa to napa. our warmest spots getting up into the 80s today.

quickly weakening to a depression as it continues its northward track. the accuweather seven day forecast. it is going to get interesting mild to warm the next few days. that warmth bringing us back to average friday. but look at the temperatures over the weekend sliding more fall like again below average. and we're introducing a chance of showers on monday or drizzle a slight chance on wednesday, which is the premiere of the golden bachelorette right here on abc seven news. good weather for love, dan and ama. yeah, we'll see. >> one of those days if it rain. all right. thanks, andrea. >> we will see. san francisco police are setting the record straight as we move on here on a viral video showing the arrest of a hot dog vendor on the embarcadero. >> tonight, the police department is telling its side of the story on the controversial arrest. >> hours after we first told you about it, the sfpd posted a startling claim on social media saying the viral video was,

quote, orchestrated by the vendors and doesn't show the complete picture. >> abc7 news anchor dion lim is following the story and dion. according to police, why would the vendors do this? >> we should explain dan and ama, sfpd claims this was an attempt to undermine the city's efforts to enforce vending laws, but we went back to talk to the vendor in the video to ask her about the claims. she says that's not true. and her account, along with some new exclusive video of the incident, shows this story is complicated. we're back. guys are moving to a new cell phone video coming to light shows the moment a port employee tells a crying five year old girl to get back, while her mother struggles to hold on to her hot dog cart manifest. it's a new look at a situation that unfolded sunday morning at pier 33 along the embarcadero. this original clip went viral, showing single mother ana luisa casimir on the ground being detained by police as her daughter wails nearby. sfpd posted on x tuesday night that

the viral clip did not match reality, adding it was orchestrated by illegal vendors and cited a witness who claims someone in the group told the girl to start crying near officers to manipulate the situation. casimir was taken into custody only after police say she attacked a port employee. it's hard to tell in this new clip, but sfpd says she hip and arm checked this port worker, assaulting him. >> you're under arrest. you're under arrest. >> back up. >> no no no no no no no, i did not hit the cops, nor the port or anyone. >> the only thing i was trying to avoid them taking my cart. >> so how did all of this unfold to begin with? sfpd tells me they're vending. enforcement task force went out to pier 33 ahead of time to warn vendors they needed to vacate. when officers returned one hour later. those vendors were still there. sfpd provided me the statement, saying in part. officers multiple times tried to avoid putting handcuffs on. they

worked to de-escalate the situation and officers had no choice. in the meantime, casimir says, cart is still confiscated and as a new immigrant from peru worries about her ability to provide for her daughter luciana. >> los latinos todos latinos. >> i think we come here to work hard for the american dream. i work monday through sunday for my daughter. >> the department of public health holds hearings where vendors can seek to recover their confiscated items. what do you hope will come out of all of this? >> yo quisiera qué? qué bueno? to bring some awareness, to let there be anticipation that they're coming. >> lost in translation. that's the term we use to describe the story yesterday. and whether or not the vendor knew she was breaking the law. that is not clear. but the mission street vendors association tells me that they want to work with city officials to make sure something like this does not happen again. dan, back to you. >> all right, dion, thank you.

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
