dreamforce? >> the biggest artificial intelligence event in the world, kicked off today in san francisco. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. dreamforce is a showcase of services by salesforce. san francisco's biggest private employer. about 45,000 people will attend this event, but this gathering almost didn't return to san francisco last year. salesforce ceo marc benioff threatened to move dreamfor thef homelessness and drug use. this year, he's singing a different tune. >> i want to thank san francisco and california for everything that you've done for us and our police department here in san francisco have done an extraordinary job to get us going and to make sure that this is a safe and trusted environment. thank you. >> benioff also thanked the chp for providing added safety. the salesforce ceo donated a million dollars to the city to help clean up the streets. california governor gavin newsom attended

dreamforce today. he sat down with benioff for a conversation covering a wide range of topics, including ai. the governor says it's an industry where california is a leader. >> this is a space where we dominate, and i want to maintain our dominance. i want to maintain our innovation. i want to maintain our ecosystem. i want to continue to lead. at the same time, you feel a deep sense of responsibility to address some of those more extreme concerns that i think many of us have. even the biggest and strongest promoters of this technology have. >> and today, governor newsom signed several bills written by bay area lawmakers to add safeguards to the use of artificial intelligence. a bill by menlo park assembly member josh becker requires online platforms to remove deepfakes that target voters in order to protect election integrity. a bill by san jose assembly member ash kalra requires the consent of performers to use their digital likeness in any audio or visual productions. and a bill by orinda assembly member rebecca bauer-kahan extends

protections to performers who are deceased. their estates will have to give permission for any digital recreations. and there's another bill on newsom's desk written by state senator scott wiener. >> he says it's about balancing innovation with risk management. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn is in the newsroom with the story. suzanne. >> dan. ama, the talk is all about ai. state senator scott wiener is spearheading what he calls the first bill of its kind in the united states, which he says would make ai safer. he and others say they would support ai and what it could do to improve our world, but they want to make sure there are guardrails. >> this is incredible technology and code. >> salesforce ceo marc benioff unveiled the system he says is leading the third wave of ai development. it's called agent force. >> agent force has to be the biggest breakthrough that we have ever had on technology. >> benioff launched agent force during the first day of the dreamforce event in san francisco. he says it allows for

customized ai agents to do mundane, low value and repetitive tasks, freeing up people to do more valuable and creative work. >> i want ai innovation to continue here. >> and state senator scott wiener says he is all for innovation, but he's also pushing the first ever ai safety bill in the country. sb 1047 it requires large corporations to do safety testing on the most powerful models before they're released, to prevent any possibility of catastrophic harm. >> we can promote strong and robust ai innovation while doing so responsibly and trying to get ahead of the safety risks. >> doctors like robert gould with physicians for responsibility are backing senator wiener's efforts. >> doctors know that preventive care is crucial for the health of our patients. we must also advocate for policies that prevent technological crises before they occur and advocate for now, the national organization for women says if

left unchecked, ai poses health and safety risks. >> women are the first to be exploited, attacked and abused online in the most invasive ways possible. and with ai, what's possible changes every day. we call on governor newsom to sign sb 1047. >> even youth activists are concerned about the power of ai. >> i do want innovation to continue, but i want it to continue safely and as a young climate activist, i stand before you today in support of sb 1047, wiener says it's important to hear about the impact of ai and the risks of ai for other industries besides tech. >> ai has huge potential to make the world a better place and to make the world a more equitable place, but it also has risks. and so let's get ahead of those risks. >> and state senator wiener says sb. 1047 has a lot of support from tech companies as well as people in other industries. now, the bill still needs to be signed by governor newsom. he still has until september 30th.

back to you. >> okay, suzanne, thank you so much. your voice, your vote. today is national voter registration day. efforts have been underway all day throughout the bay area to get people registered to vote. and there's a focus on specific groups of people who may be less likely to vote. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes is live in the south bay bureau, with more. hi, zach. >> hey. i'm here in the south bay. a lot of emphasis today was placed on getting marginalized communities, young people encouraged to vote. and though turnout among those groups has been low in the past, there's high hopes for this election. the campus was bustling at san jose state university tuesday. much of the activity on the paseo, thanks to the sjsu votes festival. >> it's celebrating constitution day and national voter registration day. and so we have 40 campus and community partners out here talking to people about civic engagement, voting, voting rights and the constitution. >> many of those partners, students themselves, like senior malik diaz. >> young people aren't voting as

large as they need to. and, you know, we have a lot of issues on the ballot, a lot of issues in this country that i think that affect young people, and that will be continuing to affect young people throughout these years. >> according to the u.s. census, the age group that saw the lowest voter turnout historically in california is the 18 to 24 year old demographic. that was especially true in 2022. but experts say that age group has extreme potential. >> we have 8 million new gen z voters who will be eligible for the first time this year, so this really is a crucial demographic this year, the u.s. response to the israel-hamas war is proving to be a deterrent, with many young voters saying they plan to sit this election out. >> still, the push on campus includes urging those voters to use their voices. >> the best way to have their concerns registered about all of these issues is to vote. and then it's not just the president that's on the ballot. we have all these lower down races, the assembly races, congressional races that are going to affect them as well. >> in addition to young voters, a coalition of nonprofits also

came together in san jose tuesday. their goal to increase voter turnout among all marginalized communities. >> our coalition firmly believes that every voice in our communities matter, no matter our background or political beliefs. we know that for democracy to work for all of us, it must include all of us. >> the work from both of the groups you heard from doesn't stop. tuesday, the students will be canvasing in neighborhoods near csu, as will the together we vote coalition, who will also be phone banking. an important date to remember if you haven't registered yet is october 21st. that's when you have to do it by. after that, you can do a conditional voter registration, but information for all of that is at. register to vote dot ca.gov. right now, live in the south bay bureau. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right zach, thank you. and you could have your ballot in less than a month. california secretary of state says county elections offices will begin mailing ballots october 7th. as zach mentioned, the last day to register to vote is october

21st. but you can register up to and including election day early in-person voting begins october 26th. election day is november fifth. mail in ballots must be postmarked by that day and received by november 12th in order to count. >> we continue to follow the chp surge in oakland and its impact on crime. halfway through a new four month enforcement period, the california highway patrol says it's made 329 arrests, seized 35 firearms and recovered 606 stolen vehicles. that's a 218% increase in seizures since the initial enforcement period in february, as both violent crime and property crime spiked since the february surge, the chp has arrested 930 people and recovered more than 1900 stolen vehicles. installation of a camera network to identify vehicles linked to crime is now finished. and in oakland today, crews are cleaning up a homeless encampment under an overpass on

mlk way between 20th and 25th streets. the city decided to close the encampment due to what they say is a rise in crime in that area, including a double homicide at the encampment earlier this month. they say up to 30 people have been living there, and outreach workers have been on site to help find shelter for those who want it. three people have already been moved into the community cabin program. the cleanup is expected to last two weeks in san francisco. >> today, people who live in rvs and their supporters held a rally to ask city officials to stop plans to tow rvs parked on city streets. they rallied ahead of today's sfmta meeting, then talked more about their concerns during public comment. the proposed ban would prohibit rvs and oversize vehicles from parking on city managed streets from midnight to 6 a.m. it would also allow the city to tow vehicles violating the ban, but only after offering shelter. the proposal still needs approval from sfmta's board of directors. san francisco mayor london breed joined us on our 3 p.m. newscast

today, and spoke about the city's effort to clean up the streets. >> so we're putting together the resources, but what we are doing now is just not letting things happen the way they used to, because now the capacity and the laws are on our side and we're making it more difficult for people to just pitch a tent in our city anywhere, and we're making it harder for them to also be out on the streets, especially when we're offering them an alternative place to go. >> mayor breed says those resources include help getting into shelters or addiction treatment programs. >> now to a seven on your side investigation. a consumer advocacy group accuses california's insurance commissioner of betraying his oath to regulate insurance rates. consumer watchdog says ricardo lara's plan to expand fire insurance coverage areas and increase transparency in how rates are set is full of loopholes, they say the plan violates a state law that prevents insurers from arbitrarily increasing rates by allowing companies to use

catastrophe models that are not verifiable, use computer models and software and algorithms to jack up our premiums. >> they're not allowed to do that under proposition 103. >> consumer watchdog says the fine print in lara's plan also promotes transparency, removes transparency requirements and removes the deadline for implementation. >> coming up next, the battle across the bay, the latest legal challenge to the new name for oakland's airport. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. >> not exactly summer like today, and we have a chance of some damp weather ahead. >> i'll have the forecast coming

grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

for nearly an hour after several vehicles crashed into each other. traffic was shut down as emergency crews helped injured passengers. the two reopened about 4 p.m. san francisco is petitioning a judge to immediately stop oakland's airport, which is over my right shoulder here from using its new

airport name, sfo on my left. claiming that new name is confusing people. apparently some travelers can't really tell the difference between flying okay versus sfo. here's a live look at oakland now from the abc7 oakland airport camera. it's now officially named san francisco bay oakland international airport. and that's the rub. and now to a live look at sfo, san francisco international airport. abc7 news reporter luz pena has a look at the new developments. a legal motion, which comes down to trademark the battle between the san francisco airport and the oakland airport, has now reached new heights. >> san francisco's city attorney david chu, now filing a motion asking a judge to immediately stop oakland's airport from using its new name, saying it's creating confusion. sfo conducted a survey that demonstrated confusion levels over 20%. earlier this year, the port of oakland changed the

airport's name to san francisco bay oakland international airport. chu's motion breaks down multiple incidents where people reported landing in oakland, surprised they were not at san francisco international airport. san francisco has already filed a lawsuit in federal court to stop oakland's name change, but the preliminary injunction would create an immediate effect. >> we've tried to reason with oakland officials to avoid this very step to come up with alternative names that could work for all of us, and we even agreed on mediation. but unfortunately, nothing came out of that mediation. >> back in april, oakland's board of port of commissioners explained their stance. >> nobody owns the san francisco bay. the port operates and is the steward for 20 miles of land along the san francisco bay. >> the name change was approved april 11th by the port of oakland commissioners. what didn't change was a three letter code oak, which travelers tell me they pay close attention to avoid mistakes. you're glad you didn't get confused.

>> yes, yes, that would have been kind of a pity. >> in a statement, the port of oakland categorized san francisco's latest legal action as an attempt to stifle competition and travel choices by bay area residents and position sfo as the only airport that serves the san francisco bay area. it is not an oak will continue to aggressively fight for its position on the san francisco bay. this east bay resident wishes the port of oakland would rethink the name change. >> born and raised in oakland, and i think it's a real slap in the face. >> in san francisco. luz pena abc seven news. >> the el dorado county sheriff's office has arrested a man suspected of starting the crosier fire back in august. the fire burned nearly 2000 acres in el dorado county. an investigation determined the fire was set intentionally. a 48 year old man from placerville is facing felony arson charges from the beginning of the year through the end of august. cal fire has made 91 arrests related to arson. >> amazing. you saw those pictures live from sfo in

oakland. now this one. what in the world is going on? >> come on. sandhya >> i don't feel any pressure whatsoever. not at all, dan. and we're going to move all this cloud cover out of here in about a day. but right now, i want to show you a live picture from our sky star camera at fisherman's wharf. this is on the skystar wheel. and, yeah, the clouds are pretty much soaking in san francisco. it's hard to see much, but if you do get lucky tonight, you'll catch the partial eclipse. it's a partial lunar eclipse. it's a full harvest moon. it begins at 7:12 p.m. maximum eclipse when the earth's partial shadow goes through is at 744, and it ends at 815. now, the moon rises at 7:14 p.m. you'll want to get away from the bright lights. it's also going to be a supermoon, of course, with all the cloud cover it is going to be hard to see it. but if you do get lucky that partial eclipse you have that window of just over an hour to catch it. so

enjoy! if you get a chance, here's a look at live doppler seven. here is our next system off the pacific northwest coast. it is going to move parallel to the california coastline tomorrow, and bring us an opportunity for some damp weather. right now the rain is in the pacific northwest and parts of northwestern california. we will see some drizzle very spotty overnight and tomorrow morning into the afternoon. we do have a possibility of a few showers right now. pretty heavy cloud cover as you can see. and from our live picture from the golden gate bridge camera, you can see that as well. today's temperatures were well below average, anywhere from 5 to 1015 degrees 57. in the city, low 60s oakland, hayward, san jose 66. and if you're in half moon bay right now, you need that jacket. kgo roof camera a gentle breeze, 59, in petaluma, 60 napa, santa rosa, concord. livermore, right now 70, in fairfield. let's check out the san jose almanac today, 76 degrees. your average is 81. so not quite where you should be for this time of year,

but that's going to change. here's a live view from san jose camera looking at the shark tank, where it's pretty much gray tomorrow. chance of spotty showers thursday into friday. sunnier and warmer weather and fall starts this weekend. summer like heats coming on sunday. tonight, as we head into the overnight hours that drizzle shows up 8:00 in the morning. can't rule out a spotty shower or two, but notice the main band of moisture is off the coastline, so a shower or two popping up. not out of the question. at 9 a.m. noontime. and then this system heads out of the picture. the snow levels, by the way, in the sierra, are going to be much higher than the last round. we're talking about 9500 to 10,000ft. they're looking at scattered showers and thunderstorms there. so a few hundredths of an inch here locally to nothing measurable. your morning temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s. we do have that full harvest moon tonight. tomorrow afternoon highs will be remaining below average. low 60s to the upper 70s. cloudy to mostly cloudy. accuweather. seven day forecast. one more day of the kind of

grayish cloudy kind of weather. chance of spotty showers. and then we're going to go with a sunnier pattern. warmer conditions bringing on the heat. just as summer is winding down and fall begins mid to upper 90s inland. so ama and dan, it's going to be quite the turnaround. >> yeah. all right. thanks, andrea. >> all right. how do you feed a baby raccoon? and what's more, how do you do that while relocating an entire wild care wildlife care organization? coming up, meet the north bay people making that happen. one step at a but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year?

about a big job while care is moving to a temporary home, while its original location in san rafael undergoes a major renovation. >> abc seven news reporter cornell bernard shows you the move itself is nothing short of wild.

>> moving can be a very slow process. just ask mojave the tortoise. one of the ambassador animals at wild care in san rafael. now heading for a new temporary home. >> we are in the process of moving right now, so we are taking 70 years worth of stuff out of the old facility that we have been in for all of those years. >> we have to take this down for the last time. it's been up here for so long. >> there's lots of stuff to organize, clean and move out from this facility in downtown san rafael. it's nothing short of daunting. >> basically, our hospital is in these boxes. all of our surgical supplies, all of our lab supplies. >> while care began as a nature education center in the 1950s and became a wildlife hospital in 1974, treating 3 to 4000 injured or orphaned animals every year. the nonprofit's home is undergoing a two year, $24 million renovation, thanks to money raised through private

donations. here's what it will look like when the work is complete. >> it's time for us to have a facility that matches the work that we do day to day here at the wildlife hospital and through our nature education programs. >> lots of animals are carefully being transported to their transitional home, but some are just too small to make the trip. like this five week old hungry baby raccoon and baby squirrel. >> lots of squirrels, they're still coming in pretty young. >> there's also a lot happening at wild care's transitional location. can't give you the address yet because they're not ready to accept new wildlife patients. but they will on september 30th. until then, other bay area wildlife facilities stepping up to help out during the big move. >> we were so lucky to have partner organizations that are able to take our patients for us while we box everything up, pack everything up, put everything together and move over to our transition location. >> mojave. the tortoise says, wait for me in san rafael. cornell bernard. abc seven news.

>> i'm coming, i'm coming, i'm coming. >> what a fabulous. they do great work, obviously, and what a big job they are taking on. but we'll all benefit the animals going forward. yes. all right. times for the san francisco symphony. what will it take to keep the group in harmony without it

grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

and it took decades to reach that status. >> the symphony now faces one of its most challenging moments since its inception in 1911. how to keep its prestigious title while struggling financially. >> abc seven news. building a better bay area reporter leon melendez is here with a look at its future. and these are some challenging times and people are very upset right now because of all these challenges. >> now, first of all, the conductor who replaced the legendary michael tilson thomas mtt is leaving at the end of this season. he is considered among the best conductors in the world right now. there is drama,

conflict, financial uncertainty, but also a call for optimism. but will it be enough to keep the symphony's reputation intact one might say that san francisco had a fairy tale moment when, in late 2018, the symphony hired conductor esa-pekka salonen to have hired him was, you know, a public relations coup and an artistic coup beyond imagining. >> none of us here thought that could ever happen. >> salonen didn't actually begin his tenure until 2020. and we all know what that infamous year meant for the world. covid. all concerts were canceled through june 2021. by then, the two top people directly responsible for hiring salonen had left. in their place, a new leadership was assembled matthew spivey and priscilla geeslin. by march of

this year, salonen announced he was stepping down. you will perhaps be remembered as the folks who let quote a bucket list brilliant conductor go. so a simple question to both of you. what the hell happened? >> you know, i think this is a moment of change for every arts organization, certainly in san francisco. but really across the country, we're seeing as arts organizations emerge coming out of the pandemic, they're thinking differently about who they are and how they connect and relate to the world around them. >> salonen, who has been connected to the world of tech, wanted to experiment with music and robotics. >> it's not only about being the orchestra of the future, it's about being the orchestra of the now. >> ideas that some say proved costly. and that's when management and the board once again brought up the discussion of financial responsibility.

despite having a large endowment. >> you sit around a table as a family and you say, we have this much money. this is what we can spend this year. do we take a vacation? do we not take a vacation? do we go out to dinner more? do we do less? it's saying that this is the money we have to spend, and this is how we're going to utilize it to make sure that by the end of the year, we still have a reasonable amount of money to move forward. >> critics argue prestige costs money, and if you're not an organization that's ready to spend money to create art, what are you doing? are you okay? being a great symphony and great is not the same as amazing or best is one of the most extraordinary ensembles in the world, period. >> and i think what defines that is not budget size. some of the most impactful moments that we've made don't necessarily cost much at all. >> they both maintain there is no animosity between them and

salonen. salonen did not want to be interviewed for this story. he did not allow us to film any rehearsals or performances that include him. the video you are watching is in the public domai. with its financial belt tightening, the symphony is also about to begin contract negotiations with the musicians union. scott pingel is the principal bass of the symphony. >> if we lose the high quality of the musicians, we lose the high quality of the art. and so we have to ask ourselves what is important to us. and i think that any civilization has to answer that question, that beauty is incredibly important. >> we are committed to working with our musicians, and i trust them, i really do. our challenge is not an internal one. our challenge is an external one. >> that external challenge is to attract a younger audience and finding new donor money. bill luth is the president of classical kdfc, the radio station that broadcasts the

symphony's concerts. >> that's part of the challenge is how do you shore up the rest of the support and the interest? and there's a turnover going on in the folks who support the arts at a high level just because of age. >> the symphony believes one way to attract audiences is to showcase what few cities have a one of a kind performing arts scene, which also includes the ballet, the opera, the sfjazz center and the conservatory. >> this is an incredible concentration of great art institutions and west of the mississippi, you don't have a concentration like this. >> what do you want viewers to get out of this interview? >> i want them to come to the hall. i want them to come and support us. i want them to come and enjoy the music and our orchestra and celebrate the san francisco symphony >> oh, and in case you're wondering who will replace

salonen, a selection committee met last friday to begin searching for another extraordinary conductor, leaving the rest of us to read the tea leaves. and last night, members of the symphony's chorus voted to authorize a strike, not promising news as the musicians start their negotiations. now word on the street is that all these issues may stand in the way of getting a new or that new superstar conductor that they need. still, they maintain that they are more focused than ever on their education programs in the schools, their community engagement programs, and bringing people to davies hall. i think something that people don't realize is that one third of what the symphony gets in revenue in terms of revenue, comes from people attending these concerts. so tickets are

important, very important. but the rest comes from donations. so you might argue more important than that for sure. so it's going to be a challenge to get that new generation of mone. but it's so important. >> yes. that's so much enriches our community. and you cannot know or very few arts organizations can survive on ticket sales. correct. right. >> all right. thanks liane. >> sure. all right, well, we talked about the arts. uh. liane mentioned the ballet a moment ago. san francisco ballet is naming a new executive director. branislav hanselman. he comes to san francisco from vancouver, canada, where he was the executive director of ballet bc. hanselman will begin in november. the san francisco ballet is the oldest professional ballet company, by the way, in the united states. >> coming up next. caught on camera. dramatic video shows the reason why hospitals in lebanon are overwhelmed. what we're learning about coordinated attacks involving people's pagers and sean diddy combs indicted for sex trafficking, and more. >> hear from lawyers on both

sides of the case. stay with us

probably family. family, why is that? buenos dias, buenos dias. la comunidad es el corazón del barrio. pues sin ella no hay vida, no hay esperanza. everything that i'm doing is for my family. yeah. las mismas cosas que yo quiero para mi hijo las quiero para los niños de la comunidad. (♪)

some say it's impossible to fix san francisco. 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

the minister says at least nine people were killed and 2800 wounded in an attack that targeted papers held by members of the iran backed lebanese militant group hezbollah. hezbollah blames israel and has vowed to respond. iran's ambassador to lebanon was one of those injured, according to iranian state media. hospitals are overwhelmed with at least 170 of the wounded in critical condition. the u.s. state department commented today about the explosions, but wouldn't say whether the u.s. has any information that would make it doubt hezbollah's claim that israel is responsible. >> we are gathering information on this incident. i can tell you that the u.s. was not involved in it. the u.s. was not aware of this incident in advance. and at this point, we are gathering

information. the israeli military, which has engaged in tit for tat strikes with hezbollah for months, said it would not be commenting on the incidents. >> extremely gracious. those words used to describe donald trump by the deputies he met today, who arrested the man wanted in trump's attempted assassination. deputies signed the handcuffs they used and gave them to trump, while a group of republican senators sent a letter to the secret service calling on the agency to increase security around the former president to that of a sitting president. >> we have to give him more support, whether it's rangers, whether it's navy seals, whether it's more dhs, i don't care. we got 48 days. and if we have something disastrous happen this time frame between now and the election, we know what could happen. >> ryan ruth faces two charges. he's accused of pointing a gun in trump's direction while he was golfing in florida on sunday. trump says the suspect believed the rhetoric of president joe biden and kamala harris and acted on it.

>> sean diddy combs is spending another night behind bars. he's being held without bail after he was charged with sex trafficking and more. combs was in court today to face those charges for the first time after being arrested yesterday. he pleaded not guilty. tomorrow there's a hearing for his attorney to appeal the decision to hold him without bail. reporter laura aguirre has details of the case, and we do want to warn you. some viewers may find this disturbing. >> members of the newly unsealed federal indictment charges sean diddy combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution. >> combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct. >> graphic details in the indictment accused combs and his associates of allegedly forcing female victims to engage in sex acts with commercial sex workers. >> combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called freak offs, and

he often electronically recorded them. >> combs is accused of using drugs to keep his victims compliant. >> among other tactics, he was violent and he subjected victims to physical, emotional and verbal abuse so that they would participate in the freak offs. >> earlier this year, law enforcement raided homes owned by combs in miami and l.a. seizing a cache of weapons and digital recordings, along with other evidence. >> he's not guilty. he's innocent of these charges. >> combs defense attorney firm in his client's innocence. >> to his great credit, he voluntarily came to new york. not a lot of defendants do that. >> the rapper appeared in court tuesday afternoon, joined by family members seen arriving earlier. if he's convicted, prosecutors say he faces up to life in prison. >> he's going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers. >> i'm laura aguirre reporting. >> all right, let's move on. we're in the final days of

summer. you'll see sandia's seven day forecast. that includ

implosion. the coast guard is investigating last year's tragedy and released a video today that shows the titan's tail cone sitting there on the ocean floor. a former employee of oceangate, the company that built the titan, testified today. he said he felt oceangate was committed only to making money when i was fired. >> i'm obviously not just concerned for myself and my family, you know how what are we going to do now? but i didn't want anybody going in that submersible. i mean, it was dangerous. you know, as i said, the build quality was atrocious. >> the titan submersible was carrying five people to view the titanic when it imploded. everyone on board died, including the ceo of oceangate, wanting to see it at the bottom.

it really is. >> all right, let's go back and talk about the weather forecast. will it warm up? >> i mean, we have a couple more days of summer left. sandhya. what's coming? >> we do indeed. you know what? it's going to start to feel like summer in a few days. okay. so just hang in there and let's take a look at what you can expect in the short term. so we do have another system coming our way. it's going to stay right off the california coast. and as we head into tomorrow morning and early afternoon could see a pop up shower or two. right now it's not looking like much. certainly we'll see showers and thunder in the sierra and southern california will get a share of higher humidity and some showers, which will help with the fire danger down there. we certainly have a lot more cloud cover on live doppler seven tomorrow afternoon. cooler than average again. low 60s to upper 70s. but look what's coming your way. friday starts to warm up into the 80s. saturday we bring on the 90s as it's the last full day of summer. and here comes fall and the heat. mid 90s inland 60s 70s at the beaches. the accuweather seven day

forecast. we'll turn things around. it'll go sunnier and warmer for the end of the workweek through the weekend into early next week, where we'll have some warm to hot days ahead. so dan, just one more day. nice. okay. yeah. thanks, andy. >> all right. sports director larry biel is here. what you got tonight? >> we are talking 40 niners. got a game against the rams on sunday. two really banged up teams. fred warner recognized as the best linebacker in the nfl. seems like he's on a search and destroy mission on every play. and the niners they need

grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

serious challenges sunday against the rams. one player they do not have to worry about is linebacker fred warner. he is playing at an all world level. had the big forced fumble in the season opening win over the jets and then against the vikings. warner look at the stat line.

nine tackles, a sack, an interception and a forced fumble. aside from that, he didn't do much. both of the turnovers came at critical moments in the game now. warner combination of size, speed, power along with his instinctive understanding of the game like a heat seeking missile at linebacker. >> i mean, i've always put a lot of pressure on myself. you know, i have the utmost confidence in my abilities and it's not me trying to make anything up. it's about just me trying to do my job. and when the play is there, it's about just me making it. you know, i know my teammates rely on me to make those type of plays. and so it's just another day. >> he's playing at an even higher level than he has in the past, which is saying a lot. so it's fun to play with him. i just he's like my security blanket out there. just knowing he's there is huge. and he doesn't get too high when things are going good and or too low when things are going bad, which is what you want from a leader. >> you wouldn't think massive. nick bosa would need a security blanket, but miami quarterback tua tagovailoa has been placed on injured reserve, so he's

going to miss the next four games for the dolphins. he suffered another concussion last thursday night. that's his fourth in the nfl. there's some legitimate concerns now about long term health for tua. he and his family may have to make a difficult decision to walk away from football. college ball the cal bears three zero, feeling pretty good. oh, he's feeling it. after beating san diego state 3110 saturday night, quarterback fernando mendoza threw for two tds, ran for one right there and the florida native knows what the bears are walking into saturday in tallahassee, florida, in their acc opener with the seminoles at zero and three. basically a must win mode. >> do your job one play at a time because that's a that's the mentality. whenever we had that mentality, that's when we always moved the ball consistently and score. so i mean, i know jet would probably say the same things that we respect our opponent fsu a ton. i mean, the reigning acc champs, we're very grateful to be in the acc, however, we want to make it known that we're able to compete with good football teams and great football teams such as fsu, so we got to execute every single play. >> fernando's great giants have

some big decisions to make this offseason. at the top of the list, do they keep farhan zaidi as director of baseball ops? after missing the playoffs in six of the past seven years, he's going to be seven out of eight once the season's over. but word came out that buster posey is now part of the giants ownership group, closed the matt chapman extension himself, raising speculation about zaidi's job. however, agent scott boras says farhan actually negotiated almost all of the chapman deal, so who knows? giants and cubs at wrigley. kind of a drizzly night, blake snell throwing smoke six scoreless frames allows just one hit, striking out 12. giants won ten. nothing buster may want to start talking with scott boras about snell jumping into all quadrants. >> every single one in the arsenal, and there was no comfortable swings, no, their promotional schedule. >> oh, i'm back. it's like somebody hit the mute button on me. it feels like i'm at home anyway. bobblehead steph curry given to the first 10,000 fans

october 11th. that's a preseason game against the kings. there's a it's the image is really good of steph chewing on his mouthguard in honor of steph's first olympic gold medal, there will be 1500 gold painted bobbleheads included in the mix. that's cool. sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. like that. >> sounded better. i think that's what viewers really want. i think they've made it just a little bit. please silence him for a few moments. all right. thanks, larry. tonight on abc seven, it is premiere night at 8:00. the season premiere of dancing with the stars at ten. the series premiere of high potential. and then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. but that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel and larry. >> we appreciate your time. we'll see you again tonight at 11. >> i have more to say, dan. i have a lot to say.
