celebration in california's first entertainment zone, we're hearing from business owners following oktoberfest here in san francisco. good morning everybody. it's saturday, september 1st. frances and i are bringing the sunrise with our colors this morning. yes, and yes. >> and the heat that we're trying to brighten up your day. temperatures will be warmer this afternoon. here is today's forecast. so 9:00. it's already going to be sunny and clear inland in the mid 60s. and they'll warm up into the low 90s this afternoon around the bay though with the clouds lingering a little bit longer until about lunchtime where we'll hit the mid 70s. and then it will stay in the mid 70s throughout the afternoon. and at the coast, with the low clouds and fog this morning it will become partly cloudy. partly sunny this afternoon. only in the mid 60s. temperatures will warm up a few degrees today and the gradual warming will continue tomorrow before a heat up really on monday. and i'll show you that with the accuweather seven day

forecast. >> frances. thank you. we're following breaking news this morning. one person is dead after an overnight shooting at the vta shibuya division yard in san jose. according to the santa clara county sheriff's office, there was one victim involved. no word yet if anyone has been arrested yet. this is a developing story and we will keep you updated once new information comes in. well, this morning a cal fire engineer is suspected of starting a string of fires in the north bay. he's a 38 year old man from healdsburg. and it's believed these fires were started over the last six weeks in the area surrounding geyserville, healdsburg and windsor. abc seven news reporter tara campbell has the story. >> i'm 100% in shock. i don't think anyone will have any idea that this had been happening. >> asking to remain anonymous. the estranged wife of a 38 year old cal fire apparatus engineer speaking with abc seven news about her husband's arrest for felony arson. >> i'm still processing this. he doesn't live here, nor has he.

>> we are not identifying the firefighter until he's been officially charged. but you can see in this photo from his facebook page showing him wearing cal fire gear very hard pill to swallow and very hard for us cal fire officers arrested the suspect friday morning at the howard forest fire station in willits. the department suspects him is starting five fires in sonoma county this summer. while he was off duty. the arrest, both shocking and saddening to the firefighting community. >> when you read that press release and you know, understand that that's someone that's supposed to be out in the community protecting us, and they're actually putting us all in harm's way. it's hard, hard to read. >> and that's exactly why legal experts say this could be a tough case to try. >> jurors are not going to want to believe that a firefighter would actually start a fire. >> and while a jury may not want to believe it. legal analyst steven clark says it's not uncommon. >> this is an unusual case, but it's not unheard of to have a firefighter actually charged with starting a fire, adding

that arson cases are among the most difficult to prove. you really have to reverse engineer a fire to see how it was starte, whether there was accelerants used and who was present at the scene. >> he says psychology will also play a key role in building the prosecution's case. >> and you're going to look into this individual's past and see if there's any red flags that were going on. >> the suspect will be booked into sonoma county jail on suspicion of arson to forest land, and is scheduled to be arraigned next week. tara campbell, abc seven news and san mateo county an assistant sheriff has been fired this, as the county's board of supervisors, is in the middle of an investigation into the sheriff's office. >> assistant sheriff ryan monahan was terminated after he was interviewed for the probe into the sheriff's office. supervisor ray mueller says the timing of the firing suggests possible retaliation against monahan. in response, sheriff

christina corpus said he should have had the facts before weighing in on a subject as important as this. it appears he is just trying to get publicity and that behavior is inappropriate, unprofessional and needs to stop. a judge is delaying his decision on whether to dismiss charges against three alameda police officers in the death of mario gonzalez. the judge says he will issue a written ruling next month on whether to dismiss those manslaughter charges against the officers. 26 year old mario gonzalez died in 2021 while being taken into custody. the officer's attorneys argued yesterday. the da's office did not file all the necessary paperwork in time to meet the three year statute of limitations. prosecutors say they did meet the necessary requirements outside of court. gonzalez's family and other community members gathered to protest bogus a sham investigation cleared these cops. >> it's only because the people demanded that a new da be elected, that we even have a

shot at justice. >> reviews by the previous da. the sheriff's office and the city of alameda all found the officers were not criminally liable. the alameda county coroner's office later ruled gonzalez's death a homicide caused in part by the stress of the altercation. we continue to follow the city of oakland's effort to clear out a long standing homeless encampment. you're seeing video of it here. the city announced it has completed the first phase of the closure in the area of mlk junior way, between 20th and 25th streets in west oakland. more than 40 tons of debris have been removed from this area. city officials say more than 25 encampment residents who were living in this area have accepted shelter and services on the other side of the bay. it's the end of an era, or at least the beginning of the end, for the oakland a's and their fans. the a's have this three game series with the new york yankees this weekend. then they play three more games against the

texas rangers. and that's it. next thursday will mark the final game in oakland a's history at the coliseum. this weekend will be filled with nostalgia and emotions. rickey henderson, who played for both the a's and yankees, caught the first ceremonial pitch yesterday thrown by his daughter adriana. long time a's broadcaster vince cotroneo was also honored. >> i've been coming here a long time. i've. i've come as a son of a player, as a player, as a manager, as a broadcaster. so i've. i've been here for a lot of cool times and cool moments and, know what a historical place this has been over the years. and it's housed a lot of outstanding players and outstanding teams. so, yeah, it's meaningful to me. >> the athletics started playing in oakland in 1968. there's now only five home games left at the coliseum. new this morning, the

state is taking another step toward protecting kids from the potential harmful effects of social media. governor gavin newsom signed a bill targeting social media addiction. it would make it illegal for platforms to knowingly provide addictive feeds to children without parental consent. it would also keep apps from sending notifications to minors during school hours or late at night. the governor released a statement saying in part, quote, every parent knows the harm. social media addiction can inflict on their children. with this bill, california is helping protect children and teenagers from purposely designed features that feed these destructive habits. well, last night marked the start of a new era in entertainment on the streets of san francisco, one that could help pull the city out of a financial downtrend. the oktoberfest celebration took place along front street in downtown san francisco. it's the event city leaders are using to unveil the newly dedicated entertainment zone, the first of

its kind here in california. senate bill 76, which made entertainment zones possible, allows for bars and restaurants to sell alcohol to be consumed on the street. if a city designates the area for entertainment. it's expected to be a monumental change for bars and restaurants. >> there's all this permitting and things that you had to do before, and the businesses were kind of allowed to only do certain things on the street and not others. now we're allowed to really benefit from outside. >> city officials say there are other parts of the city they want to turn into these entertainment zones, including areas that already host street festivals. all right. let's check in with francis. how's it looking out there? >> okay. right now it is looking gray, but you can tell the winds are calm because the water is very calm. and that means with lighter winds and more sunshine, temperatures are going to be a few degrees warmer than what we experienced yesterday. will be warming up this weekend before things get hot. starting on monday. >> francis. thank you. also nex, caltrain goes from diesel to

electric. how its new fleet is helping some riders get to where they need to be faster. and some bittersweet news for some drivers how much money the new parking meters around lake merritt

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.

just to prove the first flu vaccine that does not have be given by a health care provider. here's what it looks like. it's flumist, a nasal spray from astrazeneca. it was first approved in 2003, but starting next year, you'll be able to administer it yourself. you'll still need a prescription, though, to get this vaccine. now this week on our 3 p.m. show getting answers, we talked to ucsf infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin-hong about this new vaccine. >> it's great for people who don't like needles, 1 in 4 americans, are somewhat needle phobic, and the big difference that's revolutionary a little

bit is that you can just go online and get a pharmacist to, review you, and then you can get it mailed to home, the caveat is that it's killed or weakened virus. so people who are immune compromised, or if you're pregnant, we it wouldn't be a great idea. and it's not approved for those over the age of 50. >> doctor chin-hong says the nasal vaccine is available now at clinicians offices. your health is important to us here at abc seven, and september is prostate cancer awareness month. screening, of course, is a great tool to monitor prostate health. but one group in particular, black men, are not getting screened as much as other groups. it's an issue because black men have a higher chance of mortality from prostate cancer. here's abc seven news anchor ama daetz. >> on average, black men are about 10 to 30% less likely to get screened for prostate cancer compared to non african-american men. and it's even worse for

younger black men between the ages of 45 to 50. >> i spoke with doctor j. balwani, a urologist at kaiser permanente san rafael. he says screening should start at age 50 for men in the u.s, but for black men, the recommendation is to start at age 45, because there's about a two and a half times increase in mortality for black men due to prostate cancer, compared to caucasian men in the u.s. is it because they aren't getting screened as soon as they should be? >> well, it's a combination of factors. the first thing is, is there may be an association with ethnicity, for black men that have west african descent, but it also is due to socioeconomic issues as well. >> so what does screening involve? doctor balwani says it's a simple blood test that should be done even if you don't have symptoms. >> the problem with prostate cancer is most people are asymptomatic. they don't have any symptoms. if you start to develop symptoms like more difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, weight loss, you kno, poor appetite, then you worry

you may have more of a progression of the prostate cancer. and that's why we strongly encourage men to come in to get the screening tests done, because then you catch it early. you catch it at a time when it is quite readily treatable, and it has and it has less of an impact, i should say, on your quality of life. >> ama daetz abc seven news. >> so the bottom line here. talk to your doctor. all men 50 and older should get the blood test. and men who are between the ages of 45 and 50, who are at higher risk for developing prostate cancer, should get the test done. that's black men and those with a family member who's had prostate cancer and doctor j. balwani says if you're 40 and you have more than one relative who's had it, you might consider getting tested. all right. caltrain is on track to build a better bay area this weekend. the train fleet goes electric. abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez says the excitement is in the air. bay area commuters are saying

goodbye to diesel trains starting this weekend. >> the entire caltrain fleet will be electric on friday evening. we saw train enthusiasts capturing the last diesel locomotive take off from san jose's diridon station. noah williams traveled from seattle for this moment. >> so this is the end of an era. this is the most reliable diesel locomotive and passenger service in american history. going electric modernizes caltrans 160 year old rail corridor. >> dan lieberman started working for caltrain the year this project broke ground. in 2017. >> we had people building a the overhead contact system. the wires above us on a live rail line like that is an incredible achievement of engineering and effort and being able being being able to see all of it has been really a privilege. and it's so wonderful to see the end result right here. >> caltrain is now launching an entirely new schedule with their all electric train capabilities.

>> these trains are faster to accelerate, so we're going to be able to provide more frequency. weekend service is going to bump up to half hourly over hourly, which is a big improvement. >> riders can now make a trip from san francisco to san jose in under an hour. >> if we want to combat climate change, this is how we do it. we don't have to get it to completely zero emissions tomorrow, but we do need to give people a viable alternative to driving. and these new trains are awesome. >> if bay area residents decide to utilize caltrans all electric service, that would be the equivalent of taking 55,000 gas powered cars off the road. we spoke with one woman who plans to attend all the community celebrations. caltrans has planned saturday and sunday with her 15 year old grandson. >> people have different hobbie, different things they want to get into, and i think if you're into trains, what a nice one. very expensive one. >> caltrain will offer free rides throughout the weekend for the rest of us. >> us old folks. the quietness might be nice in san jose. >> lauren martinez abc seven news.

>> well, we have a traffic alert for you. part of i-680 southbound is closed for construction work. the stretch from acosta boulevard in san ramon to i-580 in pleasanton won't reopen until 4 a.m. on monday, so all i-580 and 680 connectors will be open along the right lane. northbound 680 will remain open throughout the weekend. also in the east bay, a new report shows how much money oakland made in the first year of having parking meters around lake merritt from july 2023 through the end of june this year. the city brought in nearly $900,000. the meters replaced free time limited parking spaces around the lake. the decision was controversial at the time. opponents said parking fees and fines can be cost prohibitive for some, meaning the park would not be accessible for all. okay, here's something fun the mai tai will soon be named oakland's official city cocktail.

>> the drink is said to have originated in oakland at the original hinky dinks on san pablo at 65th street, and that bar became trader vic's, which is a tiki style restaurant on the emeryville waterfront. >> today, victor bergeron opens locations around the world. the mai tai was brought to hotel bars in hawaii and beyond. >> he was just whipping up some random cocktails because he was very creative guy and, you know, he just whipped up something, handed it to his friends, and she said, mai tai royale, which means out of this world, the best in tahitian. >> the restaurant group recently celebrated its 90th anniversary. the city council is set to declare the mai tai its official cocktail on october 1st, so, frances, are you a mai tai fan? >> i am, in fact. i was really surprised that it originated in oakland. i know, how neat is that? yeah, i just visualize it with like, hawaii being at the

beach. so maybe i'll make one later and pretend i'm in hawaii. >> i know. never too early, right? no. >> yeah. and i remember going to trader vic's in the 80s when i was a kid. so it's been around for a while, and today's weather is going to be warmer. it's going to be gorgeous for the last day of summer. here's a look at live doppler seven. we have some clouds off the coast and that have spilled into the bay, and you can see it here with the live view of the golden gate bridge and the top there. the towers just covered in the low clouds. san francisco is currently 56, oakland 60, hayward 61, san jose and redwood city at 58, and half moon bay with earlier fog limiting some visibility is still at 55 degrees, but check out where we are already seeing some sunshine. this is a live camera shot in walnut creek, santa rosa. also on the cooler side of 53 degrees with some fog. petaluma 56 and fairfield. concord and livermore right now are all a little bit warmer at 57 degrees. here's a live shot in santa cruz. it's going to be great to head there. i'll tell you when it's going to be coming

up real soon. so today is the last full day of summer. we have a gradual warming trend that starts today and continues through the weekend, when fall arrives and with more sunshine will actually be even warmer. and then early next week is when it will be great to head to the beaches. it will be sizzling inland even warm at the coast and at the beaches. we could see temperatures in the 70s and 80s on monday and tuesday. so for the last full day of summer, look for a comfortable temperature of 85. in san jose, 80 degrees in sunnyvale on the lower part of the peninsula. also really mild and nice. palo alto, los altos at 77. but notice at the beaches with the low clouds, temperatures still in the mid 60s, downtown san francisco with 65 yesterday. this afternoon it will be 70. and then in the north bay we're seeing a lot of 80s, even calistoga hitting 90. but sonoma 88 degrees, novato 85 degrees east bay numbers also look good, ranging from mid 70s to low 80s.

berkeley 75 degrees, fremont 81. and then our inland areas is where it will be warmest. lots of low 90s through concord, pittsburg, livermore, 91, fairfield, even 92 degrees tonight the clouds roll in. temperatures will drop into the mid 50s and even some low 50s to near 50 up in santa rosa. so things will warm up gradually. tomorrow will be even a little bit warmer, but look for temperatures to really spike on monday, especially for inland areas where we could be near triple digits. even san francisco getting up to 80 on monday. we do hang on to that heat on tuesday, and then things significantly drop on wednesday. and you'll see that here with the livermore trend. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so we have summer warmth today. fall begins tomorrow. but check out the heat on monday. the heat continues tuesday. foggy and much cooler starting on wednesday before a slight mild

warm up for the end of the week. for the

offer a formal offer that is for intel. the reported negotiations come as intel is facing its own challenges, with a $1.6 billion loss earlier this year. intel recently announced its plans to lay off over 15% of its employees, and will pause several projects. all right, get the popcorn ready and apparently, your pickleball paddles, some of the biggest theater chains in the u.s. are modernizing in some unique ways to bring people back to the movies. theater owners are recognizing the need for a significant upgrade, but these makeovers are going beyond the screen. >> concession stands will be

modernized and upgraded, and then on into the auditorium, where you'll have the best projection. the best sound, comfortable seats of all different types. >> some theaters are even adding pickleball courts, zip lines, and rope courses as a new way to bring families in. so far, eight major theater chains have announced a plan to modernize and upgrade over 21,000 screens over the next three years. pretty neat. well, coming up in our next half hour on abc seven mornings, a new report from the secret service, what the agency is admitting about the assassination attempt against former president donald trump. plus, x no longer marks the spot. the company moved its headquarters out of san francisco's mid-market. what it could take to build a better bay area in this part of the city. >> now delighted to be joined by steve coughlin. glad to have a real pro up here. stanford, steve, as we look forward to the tripleheader on abc starts noon

fascinating matchup with josh heupel. and that offense coming in against oklahoma and that defense which should be a great, great atmosphere. >> and the storylines return for josh heupel, who led the sooners as a quarterback to their last national championship in 2000. now he is the head coach of the big orange. what a game in prime time saturday night on abc

now at 830, we are slowly warming up around the bay area. this morning, here's a live look from our east bay hills. camera as fall officially arrives tomorrow when francis and i are soaking up the last official day of summer with our colors here. >> that's right. we wanted to bring the bright sunshine to you today, which we will get. but right now, lots of us are under cloud cover and temperatures are in the 50s and 60s. san francisco 56, oakland 60, san jose 58. here is today's forecast. so by lunchtime, it's

already going to be clear and bright and sunny for inland neighborhoods in the mid 70s. and then low 90s this afternoon. it will be comfortable this evening. still hanging on to the mid 70s under clear skies around the bay. we'll see the brightest sunshine at lunchtime and the bayside areas will warm up into the mid 70s. but grab a jacket if you're heading out because it will cool down quickly to the 60s by 8:00. along the coast again, the brightest time when they'll get some sunshine is lunchtime, but temperatures hover in the low to mid 60s throughout the day. stephanie. >> all right. francis. thank you. now to your voice. your vote. we are 45 days away from the 2024 presidential election. and right now, former president donald trump and vice president kamala harris are spending time in critical swing states. abc news reporter johny fernandez has more as some of those states start early voting. >> the race for the white house is in full swing, with vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump

ramping up their campaigns. on friday, vice president harris visiting georgia and wisconsin in atlanta, the vice president focusing on reproductive rights. >> one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. the government should not be telling her what to do. >> hours later, harris, holding a rally in madison, wisconsin. >> this is going to be a tight race until the very end, so let's not pay too much attention to the polls. >> former president trump will be in north carolina today as scandal swirls around the republican candidate for north carolina governor, mark robinson. cnn reports robinson made a series of races and inflammatory comments online years ago. abc news has not independently confirmed the reporting. in georgia, the state election board voted to require hand-counting of all ballots. the measure, pushed through by allies of former president trump. that measure, already being challenged in court. this

comes as the first ballots have already been cast in the 2024 presidential election, with early in-person voting now underway in minnesota, south dakota and virginia. johnny fernandez, abc news, new york. >> new this morning, harris appears to have a financial advantage as the race enters its final weeks. that's according to the federal election commission. harris raised over triple the amount of funds trump did last month. her campaign and the democratic national committee entered the last two months of the election cycle with $286 million in the bank, filings show. the trump campaign and the republican national committee had 214 million. we're learning more about the security issues before the july 13th assassination attempt on former president donald trump. abc news reporter pierre thomas tells us about the new assessment from the secret service. >> this morning, a disturbing new internal report from the secret service about the butler

assassination attempt against former president trump, revealing, quote, multiple operation and communication failures. the assessment also concluded, quote, a lack of diligence by agency personnel. a stunning admission there was complacency on the part of others that led to a breach of security protocols. among the most glaring failures, the secret service did not have proper coordination with local police. they never came up with a plan to secure that roof, which had a direct line of sight to where former president trump was speaking. >> so there was a lack of clarity that that roof should be secure, period. full stop. >> there was a discussion about how the roof was going to be secured. and i think what it came back to is we should have challenged what that how that mechanism was, was being implemented, meaning we should have been more direct. >> another utter breakdown. key secret service personnel could not hear radio traffic revealing the local police search for a man acting suspiciously, and the

secret service never heard in real time. when the suspect was identified with a gun on that roof, that vital piece of information was not relayed over the secret service radio network. the secret service director is vowing employees involved in the butler rally who failed to meet standards will be held accountable, noting that the agency has, quote, a robust table of penalties. pierre thomas abc news, washington. >> overseas now we're following developing news amidst the rising tensions along the israel-lebanon border, a key hezbollah commander and his chain of command were killed in an israeli strike in beirut, the capital of lebanon. 31 people died after that strike on friday. it came hours after hezbollah launched bombardments targeting israeli military sites. the hezbollah commander killed has been accused of being involved in the bombing of the u.s. embassy in beirut in 1983. back here in the u.s, the securities and exchange commission is trying to impose sanctions against elon musk if

he does not appear at a new court date. musk did not appear for testimony last week in an investigation related to his takeover of x, formerly known as twitter. the sec is now looking into whether he followed the law when disclosing his purchase of twitter stock. lawyers for musk say court intervention is not necessary because a new testimony date has already been agreed upon and set here in the bay area. it's been a week since x, formerly known as twitter, officially vacated its headquarters here in san francisco. it's no longer at market and 10th streets. the exit leaves many to question the future of the mid market area, which has been struggling, as we all know for decades now. here's abc seven's building a better bay area reporter, lyanne melendez. >> the lobby, which was once bustling with twitter employees, is now filled with a quiet desolation. now known as x, the company was once the second largest tenant in the mid market area, with more than 450,000ft■s

of space. nobody misses their business more than friday. earlier owner of market street gyro. >> of course, when they left, they hurt us as this street is always get worse. >> x's move adds to a neighborhood in crisis. many small businesses here have been forced to close because of rampant drug use and ongoing criminal activity. >> the last two months, they broke my window three times. they stolen my stuff inside. it's the sandwiches go bad everyday. go bad. >> you know, there is a lack of foot traffic in the area. offices that used to be full of workers are now empty as remote work continues. this is hitting this particular neighborhood hard solution. >> we need more people coming to work. office. this empty office filled up, you know it's all empty. >> the mid market area has struggled for decades. when tech companies started filling the neighborhood, things improved. but when work from home became a

new norm, many companies seemed hesitant to bring employees back in person. full time for fear of losing them. salesforce recently announced that as of october 1st, its employees must be working on site 4 to 5 times a week. the hope is that other companies will follow their lead. >> i hope that it does. we know this new generation loves the work life balance. after pandemic. so what we want to do is make sure that companies are doing their part for whatever days a week. we're hoping it's at least four. >> when it moved here in 2012, twitter was seen by many in the city as the fortress that would economically strengthen the are. for six years, the city gave them a tax break. $70 million in tax revenue were lost, and the revitalization plans never really took off as intended. last year, ikea opened in the area and this year saleh hall, a

large food court, followed. still, the vacant spaces are proof that the neighborhood has yet to turn a corner. some mayoral candidates have proposed reopening market street to cars in order to help businesses. in early 2020, the downtown area became a car free corridor only public transportation and bicycles are currently allowed, but the san francisco municipal transportation agency reports that the number of bicycles in the city has dropped. in 2021, 4.7 million bicycles were counted throughout the city, from a high of 10.8 million in 2019. by using sensors embedded in the pavement, the agency can track bicycles. for example, there is one in front of the building that once housed x by 2:45 p.m, only 1005 bicycles and electric scooters on that day had gone through the mid market area. another plan that may help to revitalize the area is a

recent law to convert empty office spaces into housing. the idea is to attract developers by offering tax incentives. >> that law was just signed and will have, we think, an impact at least adjacent to mid market in the downtown core in san francisco. >> but for many of the businesses who are trying to survive here, help can't come soon enough. is there a point where you just say, i can't do this anymore? >> i can't, of course i can't do anymore. that's why i say it's hard to survive. >> really hard. lyanne melendez, abc seven news now the idea of bringing back cars on market street is a hotly contested issue, but we have to point out that businesses on major streets and avenues in other cities, like fifth avenue in new york and michigan avenue in chicago, are still thriving. >> what they have in common is bicycles, busses and cars. well, still ahead this morning, the state reporting progress in its effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. we'll have more on that. but first, take you

outside for a live look atop our roof camera of the bay bridge this morning. it's 8.40. francis will h 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. "the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see all that you are? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

of oakland gave us a look at the future of green transportation. the port hosted a ride and drive event yesterday. it was a chance for truck drivers to test out the latest zero emissions vehicle technology and learn more about the funding incentives for green trucks. the port of oakland says this is all part of improving air quality at the port, and surrounding areas. >> we are going to zero emissions operations at the port of oakland. this is another significant step in getting to that goal. so when we put cleaner trucks on the road that means we've got cleaner air. >> the port of oakland partnered with several organizations for this event, including the harbor

trucking association and the california air resources board. now, this comes as california continues to cut greenhouse gas emissions. that's according to a new california air resources board report. it shows a 2.4% drop in emissions from 2021 to 2022, and that's equivalent to 2.2 million gasoline powered cars. according to the report, california's economy is now 55% less carbon intense than it was 20 years ago. emissions did rise, though, in residential and commercial sector areas due to increased commercial activity. all right. how's it looking out there, francis? >> well, it is looking very gray right now as we have this live shot of alcatraz. but we will get sunshine in san francisco and warmer temperatures today. i'll let you know your
