capture. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> investigators are still trying to find a clear motive for the apparent assassination attempt. brian ruth voted for trump in 2016, but later disparaged the former president for criticizing military aid to ukraine. now, this is video of ruth from two years ago in poland, around the time he traveled to ukraine. ruth raised money for the cause despite a previous weapons conviction. his neighbors in hawaii say there was no indication he would act violently. >> kind of like a shock that all of this is happening. >> i've never heard anything directly from him that expressed any kind of hatred. >> ruth is expected to go back to court next week. well, we are starting to learn a lot more about this in the coming days. our coverage of the second attempted assassination of former president trump is being constantly updated on our apps, and at abc seven news.com. new technology is being added to san francisco police's toolbox to

try to cut down on crime and build a better bay area. >> this area is being monitored for the safety and security of the citizens of san francisco in front of it. >> city leaders today announced a mobile security unit program that includes three cameras on trailers that will be used for round the clock security monitoring. the system includes floodlights, strobes, and a speaker. these cameras will be placed in the south of market and mission districts, as well as a third location to be determined. they will be used along with automated license plate reader cameras, fixed security cameras, and drones. mayor london breed, who is running for reelection, said the city's anti-crime efforts are working with car break ins down 70% from last june. she says crime overall is at its lowest level in ten years. happening now, shifting weather is giving firefighters an edge as they battle a number of large wildfires scorching southern california. this intense firefight is heading into its second week, but crews are making progress. the airport

fire has burned 160 structures, so far. officials fear those numbers could rise after assessing more of the damage. 14 people have been hurt, including 12 firefighters. the fire has spread to more than 36mi■!s in orange and riverside counties. it's now 31% contained. a similar situation with the bridge fire in los angeles. in san bernardino counties, more than 85mi■!s have burned, with just 11% containment. three firefighters have been hurt battling that fire, and another three were hurt in the line fire in the san bernardino county area that's burned across 60mi■. it's been the least destructive of the three fires, though, with only one structure destroyed. still, it's a threat to more than 20,000 structures, setting off evacuations. the next big one. it's not if, but when an earthquake will hit the bay area. bart has been preparing for decades, asking the question, how safe is the

transbay tube? abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez shows us bart just announced an update to a major earthquake retrofit >> bart is sharing new video from inside the transbay tube announcing monday morning that it's now retrofitted for an earthquake. the transbay tube is an underwater rail tunnel about four miles long, connecting san francisco and oakland, and transit leaders say it's reinforced before the next big disaster strikes. >> the transbay tube now has a stronger steel lining. it has a more powerful and robust pumping system that will protect itself against even stronger earthquakes. the type of earthquake that is projected to occur only once in a thousand years. >> the transbay tube and bart system withstood the shaking of the 1989 loma prieta earthquake, and the system served the public on a 24 hour emergency schedule.

less than 12 hours after the quake hit, one of the, predictions is that if there were some sort of earthquake that was very, very powerful, there could be small cracks that could create some minor flooding. >> and so this pumping is designed to remove that flooding. >> this closes out bart's earthquake safety program, which retrofitted more than 74 miles of the original track. 34 original stations and other infrastructure. it cost nearly $1.5 billion, and part of it was paid by a $980 million bond measure that passed in 2004. in the studio, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> classrooms are getting a little or a lot of tech support. an ai giant right here in san francisco is pledging millions of dollars to help children here prepare for careers of the future. we'll hear from salesforce about the grant next

for salesforce's annual conference, dreamforce. the event officially kicks off tomorrow. preparations have been going on around moscone center for a week now. you might have seen the signs warning about street closures this week or the freshly washed sidewalks. the economic impact of the conference is expected to be about $93 million. now, alongside this conference today, salesforce also announced that it's committing $23 million to ai education, including 10 million just to san francisco and oakland unified school districts. so joining us live now to talk about this huge philanthropic endeavor is ron smith, who is salesforce's vice president of education and workforce development. ron,

thanks for coming in to the studio. thank you for having me. i know you got something going on this week. >> just just a little thing called dreamforce, the biggest ai conference on the planet, but a little something, only that. >> but along with that, you guys are making a $23 million commitment in grants to schools. tell us about the goal and the scope of this. >> sure. so the $23 million represents our district partnerships across the united states and our nonprofits around the world. really, we're preparing the next generation for the future of tomorrow with our career college readiness, with our computer science, our mathematics, looking at how we're preparing the next generation. ai has changed the world, and we have to think about what skills are needed and partner with our districts and partner with the nonprofits to help those young people on their journey. >> i changing the world is actually one of the major focuses this year of the convention, right? yes it is. yes, it is. >> ai and agents. and really, how are we helping the customers? how are we helping them in their mission to support the people? and for young people, it's even more important. >> yeah. explain that. why? i mean, for young people, they think, okay, well, if i knew how

to use chatgpt, for example, you know, it could help me in my work, my research. but really, what is it when you talk about being ready for the ai economy and starting young, what does that mean? >> so think about like this. young people actually have already been using ai and social media and all the different aspects adults have to change. so what we're thinking about is what's the evolution? what are the skills that we don't know today that we can help for tomorrow. so preparation and partnership that's the key. and what it means is asking young people what do you think are your jobs that you're looking for cybersecurity, different type of industries, getting them exposure. and as we partner with the different school districts and partner with the nonprofits, it allows us to help them on their goal and really just get the unknown future. we're actually helping them on their journey in that direction. okay. >> and i know of that 23 million, 10 million is staying local, right? oakland and san francisco. what does that mean? like what is that? how is that going to translate into the classrooms? >> it's super important that we sit down and ask our district partners, what do you need? we start with that question. it's

so important that we're a part of them to help the young people, middle schoolers and high schools, college pathways, career access support in math intervention. there's no other time that companies and industries should give back then. right now, education is at a critical point. we have to support the young people. so what it means asking that young person, that 13, that 17, that 18 year old, how can we at salesforce help you, help your teachers, help the district, help you get prepared for your future? and that's what we do with our funds and resources. >> okay, i know these resources are going all over the country, but also very importantly to hawaii, right? yes tell me about hawaii. why? >> why so mark and mark and his wife, lynn have always been dedicated to hawaii. and so they decided that they wanted to give back to a group called donorschoose. that does amazing work. and they allow teachers to come in and select some of the supports that are needed. so it's definitely something that's at their heart, and it's part of our partnership with the different districts, and it's part of the work that mark loves to do in hawaii. >> all right. so how does education fit into salesforce's

overall strategy in terms of philanthropy and being a community partner? >> at the heart of everything, education is where we all started. and i think sometimes we forget that you get older, you forget, you had an amazing teacher, you had an amazing school, or you struggled. so what we say is since the beginning, we want to be part of making sure that you have the things that you need on your journey from middle school going to high school, going into college, going into different ways and different workforce. so education is the centerpiece. it's at the heart of what salesforce has always done. that's how the partnership in san francisco started. former mayor ed lee and mark saying, what can we help with middle schools is where we started and what we're still supporting. >> okay, well, okay, that's the kids. but as you said, they pick things up quick. it's us adults who have to get used to this new world. right. so what advice do you have for adults who also want to be well prepared for this ai driven economy, right in future? >> the best thing i've heard in student interviews and adult interviews, the students are saying we're ready. please have the adults open up and get read. the number one thing adults should do is try the tools. use the ai agents. think about the

social media. it's actually your friend. and the more that you're using it and the more that you understand it, the more you can help the young people. and we should be in partnership with not the young people. it shouldn't be a fight. it shouldn't be negative. it should be. let's work together. because guess what? we're all trying to figure out what the future looks like. so i would tell adults, try it and be open to change. you do that, we'll be okay. >> all right. i know we adults can be so scared to try new things, right? okay. well, hey, how do you feel about this year's dreamforce? i know, you know, there was the pandemic, but last year was pretty good. and, you know, there's some issues that mark had pointed to, like how do you feel in terms of this year and the energy and the people and the city's readiness and all that? >> so excited. it's you know, i remember being part in 2019 and it was just packed and the city was vibrant today as we were going through the salesforce tower, as we were going down to pick up our badges, you could feel that same energy. people coming in, the excitement, the really the joy. and you'll see tomorrow when the campus opens up, you're going to see 40 to 50,000 people descend on san

francisco. and that's going to really help make this city and show people what we can do with the biggest ai conference on the planet. >> i see you got jensen huang, founder of nvidia there, speaking. he knows something about ai. i would say, all right. it's a great lineup. thank you very much. really a pleasure talking with you about this $23 million commitment to ai education by salesforce. ron, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> okay. if i can just figure out how to get my badge, maybe i'll see. >> we see if we can work on that for you. >> thanks. thank you. all right. coming up, a lesson in history, tradition and symbolism. a look at the begin

these lunar calendar. it will be the mid-autumn festival, also known as the moon festival. the tradition involves lighting lanterns, eating moon cakes, and gathering with family to admire the full moon. to tell us more about this holiday and how you can share in this cultural

tradition that's celebrated by many in the bay area. kitty loo from hungry panda, an asian food delivery platform. hey kitty. happy mid-autumn festival! >> you too. happy moon festival. >> all right. so, for the folks who are unfamiliar with this terrific holiday. tell us what it's all about. i think a lot of people have bits and pieces. they think, oh, lanterns. oh something about a full moon. but what is it about? >> yeah. so the mid-autumn festival is also known as the moon festival. it falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month in the chinese calendar, when the moon is supposed to be the fullest and brightest throughout the whole year. so for chinese, it's a time for family and friends to gather together and admire the moon, which symbolizes, unity and completeness, traditionally, you know, on that particular day, we will admire the moon, and share, make and share mooncakes with the loved ones, as a gesture of

to emphasize togetherness. children, normally, you know, we will participate in parading with colorful lanterns normally shaped as a little rabbit bunny, because we believe there is a chinese goddess, chang'e, who lived on the moon with her little rabbit, and that adding some vibrancy and, you know, to the particular particular, moon festival eve. >> yeah, i know, i think i remember a little bit more about that story. it was like she got separated from her lover, and then she was kind of banished to the moon. i gotta freshen up, but i do know about eating moon cakes, that is a big part of the tradition. so talk about the significance of them. like, what are they made of? and, you know, and what does it symbolize? i'm going to open this up. wish me luck. so, yeah. >> so the round shape of the mooncake symbolizes the unity and wholeness, you know, because the round shape looks like a full moon itself. and moon cakes can vary from different regions. you know, in china, in the nort,

people enjoy, sweet feelings like red bean paste. and in south, people prefer a mixture of sweet and savory flavors, you know, the sweetness, you know, symbolize they are longing for a sweet life. and the savory flavor, you know, sounds, you know, emphasize, you know, we want richness and diversity, you know, in our life, nowadays, there are some so many contemporary choices. for example, the moon cake that we delivered to the, to the studio. it's from lady lady and mooncakes. and then, you know, they have a lot of fusion flavors nowadays, like black sesame, passion fruit. and i actually have one with me here. it's from a, an australian brand called top tea. and they offer, the more traditional but, you know, contemporary, very trendy cut egg, egg yolk custard, you know, flavor nowadays, you know,

you can just enjoy the mooncake as a very modern dessert, you know, with a bit of chinese flavor touch. >> yeah, i know, i'm looking at this passion fruit custard mooncake, this black one is not the most telegenic. it's black sesame. but can i just tell you, black sesame is the most delicious. okay. yeah. >> very good for your hair, too. >> i know the hungry panda. panda delivers all of them. oh, by the way, i'm just going to hold this up because i think this is one of lady m's famous thousand layer cakes. right? like the crepe cakes. what is the flavor? you can usually. >> yeah, you can actually get that from the hungry panda app. and we can get it. get them delivered to you. >> wow. okay, so i, despite being asian american, i've never heard of this platform, but it is just it's like uber. i mean, not uber like grubhub. right. food delivery. but just asian. is that right, >> yeah. so we mastering asian food and delivery. so because our merchants are majority, you

know, the asian restaurants that you probably won't be able to get on other platforms and, you know, we serve the majority of the asian, you know, background customers because, you know, our our company started with our ceo being an international student in the uk. and then they discovered there is a laser focused market that haven't been served properly. and that's how the, how the whole hungry panda platform got started, you know, so we are here to serve the most authentic asian food to asian people, but also to everyone who loves asian food. >> and in this this week, it means mooncakes and all things related to the mid-autumn festival. thank you so much, kitty lu. really appreciate you coming on. >> thank you. thank you for having us. and happy moon festival for everyone. yes, you too. >> now we want you to join us for another celebration of chinese culture as well. abc seven is now the proud sponsor of san francisco's chinese new year parade. we'll be bringing

menlo park held a mexican independence day festival. the event featured live mariachi music and food. mexican independence day commemorates the day mexicans first rose up against the colonial government

of spain. on september 16th, 1810, mexico gained full independence from spain. in 1821. all right, now to the accuweather forecast. cooler than average temperatures today. so let's check in with abc seven weather anchor spencer christian to let us know. you know, when are we going to i don't know, go back to summer, so to speak, because it feels downright fall like, oh, we're going back to summer soon enough, kristen. >> probably by the end of the week. but this morning we had light rain around parts of the bay area. in addition to being cooler than average by about 10 or 12 degrees. here's a look at some of the rainfall totals. now, not much of this fell in populated areas, mostly in the higher elevations of napa airport and livermore received only a trace. but mount diablo had two hundredths of an inch and eight hundredths in mount hamilton, 15 hundredths at la honda and ben lomond at 1700. so you can see that some locations down in the santa cruz mountains got pretty wet, and my clicker isn't working, so i'll go and move this along manually. so just bear with me. i'll give you a look at the satellite radar composite image. and here it

comes okay, there we go. i think things are going to move along now. so you see this low pressure system this counterclockwise swirl there pretty much directly over the bay area, brought us waves of clouds and showers in the early morning hours. and even the manual operation of this computer system is not doing a very good job. right now. but these things happen. so i'm just going to keep moving it along for you. you can see that right now. we've got calm wind compared with yesterday when we had lots of gusty winds, gusts up to nearly 50mph yesterday, and the 24 hour temperature change shows it's about two degrees or more warmer in most locations than at this time yesterday. currently under partly sunny skies. 64 san francisco 69. oakland low 70s in hayward and san jose 66. in redwood city 61. half moon bay a few clouds over the golden gate right now. we had some blue sky there earlier in the afternoon. other temperature readings around the bay area 74. santa rosa 68 petaluma. low 70s in napa and fairfield, 70 at

concord and 68 at 70 at livermore. rather 68 at concord. and these are the forecast headlines overnight. we'll see a morning clouds, coastal drizzle. and wednesday will be our next chance of light rain. and that warm up that kristen was asking about will come at the end of the week and take us right on into the weekend. so the forecast animation shows tomorrow, just a few clouds around, partly sunny. but notice on wednesday that next wave of showers will swing through. it won't amount to much, though probably not much more than we got out of this morning's rainfall. so tonight look for low temperatures, mainly in the mid to upper 50s, and then tomorrow we'll have a partly sunny day with highs ranging from the low 60s at the coast to about low to mid 70s inland, which is pretty mild. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. and as you can see, we don't get much of a warm up or start to get a warm up until around thursday. but then friday mid 80s inland upper 80s inland on saturday. and look at this mid 90s inland on sunday, which is the first day of fall that

continues. that pattern continues into monday. so there's more summer like weather coming our way, but it won't arrive until fall. >> until fall. yeah, right. sure. that makes sense. hey, can you put a bunny on tomorrow's panel by any chance, for mid-autumn festival? >> i'll do my best. >> thank you. spencer, remember, abc7 news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc7 bay area app and join us whenever you want. wherever you are. and thanks so much for joining us. world news tonight with david muir starts right now. and i'll see you back here at four. >> david: breaking news and the second attempt on donald trump's life. what authorities just revealed moments ago. also, the major explosion, a natural golden state pias pipel. families running from the flames. the powerful storms running up the east coast. and
