be with the states and with the vote of the people. >> the former president, not mentioning his party's nominee for governor of north carolina, mark robinson. robinson has denied he made a series of racist and inflammatory posts, which were detailed in a recent cnn report, cnn saying he made the comments between 2008 and 2012 on a website, including one where he reportedly called himself a quote, black nazi. abc news has not independently confirmed the reporting. amid controversy, robinson hosted a meet and greet event in fayetteville. >> we're going to focus on the on the issues that you are concerned with while everybody else wants to focus on the garbage and the trash and trying to besmirch people. >> vice president harris's running mate, governor tim walz in pennsylvania, another critical battleground state insinuating donald trump is no different than robinson. >> let's not pretend that there's a gradual difference between the folks that are running here, that they're running together.

>> trump's running mate, senator jd vance, visiting a farm in leesport, pennsylvania, where he took aim at harris. >> we are not going to let kamala harris forget that she opened the border, that she went to war with the police, that she tried to ban fracking, and she is fired. on november the fifth. >> the vice president posting on x saturday that she has accepted an offer from cnn for a second presidential debate against donald trump on october 23rd. less than two weeks before election day. trump, responding she's done one debate. >> i've done two. it's too late to do another. i'd love to in many ways, but it's too late. >> the former president saying it's too late because voting has already started. chuck sivertsen abc news, new york. >> the democrats are ahead of the pack when it comes to fundraising. according to the latest federal election commission filings, the harris campaign and the dnc raised $257 million last month. that's more than triple the $85 million

raised by the trump campaign and the rnc in the same period. harris's campaign also outspent her opponent. the bulk on campaign ads. a new study places the united states last in health care compared to other high income nations around the world. according to the commonwealth fund research group, americans are sicker, have lower life expectancies and struggle to pay for health care. the study also noted that people living in the u.s. face more avoidable deaths than the nine other countries in the study. the highest ranked countries were australia, the netherlands and the united kingdom. president biden is taking his cancer moonshot global. today, he unveiled a new partnership as part of the president's quad summit with leaders from australia, india and japan. the goal is to target cervical cancer in the indo-pacific. poor and remote island nations in the region have high rates of cancer. biden's overall goal is to

don't have to worry about rain for a while. >> yeah, you're right about that. even though fall starts tomorrow. but i think rain is pretty far away. lauren, here's a look at what's going on with our weather on the satellite radar composite image. you see high pressure building in offshore. and that's going to be the controlling feature in our weather for the next several days, actually bringing us mainly sunny skies and quite a warm up as fall gets underway. right now we're looking at wind speeds at the surface, generally under 15mph. so we've got breezy conditions out there, but gentle breezes and it is warmer right now in most locations than at this time last night. four degrees warmer in novato and fairfield. only a degree or two warmer near the bay and on the coast. so moving along, taking a look from our exploratorium camera looking back at a portion of the san francisco skyline, it's 57 degrees here in the city right now, 60 at both oakland and hayward, 61 at san jose and redwood city, 57 at half moon bay. here's the view at the golden gate, where often this time of the night, this time of the year, we'll see fog. but it

hasn't quite developed yet. right now we have mid 50s up at santa rosa and petaluma, 58 in napa, low 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. and as we look across the embarcadero from our rooftop camera, let's check out our forecast headlines. fall begins tomorrow. as if we haven't said that enough alread. 5:43 a.m. we'll have sunny skies and a warming trend beginning on the first day of fall early next week, we get a taste of summer like heat with high temperatures rising up to triple digits in some of our hottest inland areas. but midweek will bring some changes. a cooler pattern will develop. it will feel a lot more like fall as we get into the middle of the week. now overnight, look for low clouds to develop at the coastline and push locally across the bay. there'll be lots of spots of patchy drizzle offshore, some of it may move move onshore, so early tomorrow morning there may be some residual damp spots, or you might even encounter a light shower if you're out in the early morning hours. but by midday, we'll see the fog burning back to the coastline, as it often does, giving way to mainly sunny skies in the afternoon. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in

the mid to upper 50s. a little milder in places like antioch and san jose, where lows will not drop below 60 degrees. and then tomorrow look for high temperatures on the rise 66 at half moon bay. in fact, many coastal locations will see highs in the upper 60s to near 70, right around the bay shoreline. we'll see some low 80s in the warmest spot, the warmest spots up in the north bay. 86 napa 91 will be the high at santa rosa. the inland east bay will have mainly mid 90s. around 9495 degrees and down in the south bay 87 will be the high in san jose, 91 at morgan hill. and as we look ahead to monday, the triple digits start to appear in the hottest inland spots. upper 90s still on tuesday, so the heat will be slow to retreat. but then on wednesday it starts to cool down significantly. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast that midweek. cool down will be a welcome change after a couple of degrees of pretty hot weather, especially for the beginning of fall, and that will take us that cool down into the end of the week, and we'll have a more comfortable and more seasonal range of temperatures. >> yeah, i'm glad we're kind of easing into to fall a little

bit. >> absolutely. because we don't want a sudden change right then we miss summer kind of. well, we may not miss it too much with 100 degree temperatures, but yeah, but easing into fall is a good idea. >> i'm pulling out my sweaters and all my jackets, so, you know, transition to that too. >> yes, sir. thank you. >> well, nasa's hubble space telescope captured a new multi-wavelength spiral galaxy about 35 million light years from earth. astronomers captured ten different images from six different observing programs to complete this photo. the first image was taken in 2009, so it's truly a look through time and space. a combination of chemical reactions of hydrogen gas causes it to glow. still ahead on abc seven news at 11. an unusual rescue in the east bay. the deer, wedged between two buildings and how she finally got free

haven't grown up yet. >> no. well anyhow, fall is on the way. >> yes, it arrives tomorrow and i won't be going to a scary movie. but i will be telling you about our weather. sunny skies tomorrow and a warming trend. interestingly enough, as fall begins, it will feel like summe. early next week, we'll have a taste of summer like heat, with the first couple of days of the week bringing us temperatures around 100 degrees in the warmest spots, and then midweek changes will bring us a cooler pattern. now for tonight, look for fog at the coast and some coastal drizzle that might actually move onshore in the early morning hours, but it will dry out and sunny up by afternoon. overnight lows will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s. highs tomorrow 60s at the coast, 70 to 80 around the bay and mid seconds inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast monday. look for temperatures at or above 100 degrees in the warmest inland spots. upper 90s on tuesday and then the middle of the week will bring us some more fall like cool down. good weather for going to a scary movie. yes. >> see, that's that's what i'm waiting for. >> maybe my tastes are changing. >> yes. all right. >> spencer, thank you. now to

chris with a preview of sports. >> hi, lauren. coming up in sports, injuries have hit the forty-niners hard here in the early part of the season. no cmc, no deebo, and now no george kittle who needs to step up against the rams. it's a

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. (♪)

to those who will not be playing tomorrow against the rams in la. kittle officially ruled us out as he deals with a hamstring injury. it further depletes san francisco on the offensive side, who will also be without running back christian mccaffrey and wide receiver deebo samuel. so who's going to step up? how about the new $120 million man wide receiver brandon aiyuk off to a slow start after missing all of training camp holding in looking for that new contract extension, which he ultimately got. there were those drop passes, including a would be touchdown in the season opener

against the jets, and then in week two, being held to just four catches and 43 yards in the loss to the vikings. >> they feel they're desperate. we feel like we are as well too. so it's going to be a great game. it's going to be a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. so we'll see what happens when the game kicks off. >> i mean, we saw the same amount of plays, just somewhat different styles of plays, different people in different spots, you eliminate some special things that you would only do for those guys. but the number doesn't change. just there's things those guys do very well, nothing that other guys can't do, but there's kind of different percentages on how much you call them and things like that. >> with the 40 niners missing so many weapons on the offensive side, defense is likely going to have to pick up the slack. no problem. for linebacker fred warner, who's already playing at an all pro level through two games causing turnovers left and right. the punchout and he also had that interception against the vikings. >> i just have the utmost confidence in my abilities and i make the plays when they're there. you know, i'm not trying

to do anything out of sorts, anything different from what i usually do. it's just about trying to play as hard as i can and making the plays for my teammates whenever they are there. >> he's definitely elevated his game. i wouldn't say his preparation is any different than it has been, because he's always been on top of that, but he's playing at an elite level in everything he does. >> a familiar face will be on the opposing sideline. number 11, you see here in blue and gold, was number ten for the niners just a few years ago. that's jimmy garoppolo in his first season with the rams. he's matthew stafford's backup quarterback. >> it's going to be weird not going to lie uh. i think just initially seeing seeing the different jerseys it'll throw me off a little bit. but you know once the ball starts going we start playing just football at the end of the day. so i'm excited to see a bunch of those guys. but, yeah, it'll be fun. >> all right. colorado hosting baylor in the big 12 opener. buffs down seven near midfield. final play of the game chad sanders buying time. fires to the end zone. lehonti webster. oh that's a touchdown. they reviewed it. and the call stood.

there it is. head coach deion sanders. he knew it all the way. prime knows the extra point is good. we go to overtime as the crowd going wild in ot. more chaos colorado scored first. baylor trying to tie it up. the ball. carrier loses the ball short of the goal line. bounces through the end zone and out. so on the field colorado ball. but they reviewed it. colorado students didn't care. they rushed the field during the replay review. just chaos. there the call was confirmed. they're partying deep into the night. colorado wins 3831, in overtime. how about the wildest punt return? maybe in a long time. or i've ever seen battle of unbeatens between byu and kansas state. byu parker kingston muffs the punt. bounces away. he goes chasing after it on the other side of the field. and when he picks it up, he's got a full head of steam. and there he goes all the way down the sideline 93 yards to the house. it's only september, but that could end up being one of the plays of the year. all right let's kick it. quakes hosting saint louis city

sc 40th minute san jose down two nil. and this is perfect. passing from san jose leads to a jeremy ebobisse goal. cuts the deficit in half two one. that's as close as they get. they fall two one san jose is going to travel to canada to face cf montreal next week. abc seven sports sponsored by river rock casino. lauren. >> chris. thank you. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. download the app now and start streaming. that's it for us tonight. i'm lauren martinez. abc seven news continues tomorrow morning at five for spencer and chris. thank you so much for joining us
