officer brett schwab says purchasing saf with united airlines is an important step for the team towards reducing their carbon footprint and committing to more sustainable practices. saf is an alternative to conventional jet fuel made up of renewable materials such as agricultural waste, rather than traditional fossil fuels. csu east bay lecturer elena givental says it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% from the time it's produced until the time it's used. that's enough to reduce approximately 150,000 metric tons of emissions, or enough to fly passengers close to 1 billion miles. >> that is a step forward so that sustainable aviation fuel is the first step. towards that future where we can use liquid fuels, which are not polluting the environment. >> abc news aviation analyst john nance says there's a lot of debate regarding the changeover from traditional fuels to saf, but he says it makes a big difference in other airlines should follow suit going forward. >> in the future, there are going to be many more flights

so today is officially the first day of fall. it's going to be sunny and warmer, though temperatures will be coming up a few degrees compared to yesterday. but then monday and tuesday we're actually going to feel some summer like heat, some temperatures near triple digits for inland areas. even the beaches will warm up. then midweek get ready for the cooler pattern to develop and the temperatures that came up will go right back down. so here's a look at the futurecast animation and you'll see 7:00 this morning. still quite a bit of extensive cloud cover. it does clear back by lunchtime, except right along the coast where the low clouds will linger, and then it won't move in until later tonight and tomorrow morning. we could even see a little bit of mist and drizzle, especially if you're closer to the beaches. highs today are just going to come up a little bit. so in san francisco it's going to be really nice and sunny later on with a high of 73 this afternoon, oakland will be 78, san jose 87. and here we go.

we'll see some mid 90s like concord, antioch, livermore near 94 degrees. but notice half moon bay always near the mid 60s, including today san rafael 88, santa rosa 91 degrees. temperatures will generally drop into the mid 50s around the bay. and then we'll see some low 50s in parts of the north bay, like santa rosa, even a few low 60s out there like san jose and antioch. now, tomorrow, notice temperatures will come up by anywhere from five to maybe even ten degrees for some areas, even at the beaches, as high pressure builds. so we could see even 75. in half moon bay, san francisco 82, oakland 88, san jose 93. so get ready for the heat tomorrow. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so fall starts in about 20 minutes. the official first day of fall. sunny with warm to hot temperatures tomorrow. we're hanging on to that heat on tuesday before much cooler weather arrives on

i >> welcome back to this sunday morning, a live view here from our mount tam camera. today will mark the official start of fall, but it certainly won't feel like it. are you ready for the heat? >> yeah, well, in san francisco i love it because that means warmer temperatures for us. but it will get a little too hot inland for me. so here's a live look outside where we have some low clouds over san jose. but that will clear pretty quickly today. and that's going to allow temperatures to warm up. right now, most temperatures are generally in the 50s. we're seeing some cooler numbers in the north bay, like santa rosa is only 50 degrees, san francisco 55, san jose though 59 degrees. so as the day moves along, we'll notice that the clouds will pull back to the coast by lunchtime. everyone with sunny conditions except at the beaches, partly cloudy skies there, and notice around the bay it will be in the upper 60s to low 70s. we'll see some low 80s

already inland by lunchtime and mid 70s in the north bay. like santa rosa. this afternoon, temperatures will warm into the low 90s for the first day of fall in inland areas and around the bay. look for 70s and even some low 80s. and then tonight it will be pretty comfortable still. but notice the beaches with the clouds still stay in the 60s and 50s. and then i'll talk about the big warm up on our way. >> francis. thank you. alabama police are still searching for possible suspects after four people were killed in a mass shooting. at least 18 others were injured. it happened around 11 p.m. saturday in the popular five points area, just south of birmingham. three of the victims died on the scene. the fourth victim died at the hospital. police believe there may have been multiple shooters. so far, there have been no arrests and the motive is not known. the u.s. is urging its citizens to leave lebanon as soon as they can, as the fighting there

intensifies. this morning, hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets across northern israel, sending thousands of people into shelters. it comes one day after israel launched a strike in beirut, killing one of hezbollah's top commanders. abc news reporter marcus moore is there. >> the idf launching a wave of airstrikes into southern lebanon saturday as tensions in the region continue to escalate. these airstrikes come one day after israel struck a beirut suburb that, according to the lebanese health ministry, killed at least 37 people, including three children also killed in friday's airstrike. ibrahim akil, one of hezbollah's top commanders. akil was wanted by the u.s. for his role in the 1983 bombing of the american embassy and marine corps barracks in beirut that killed more than 300 americans. the idf saying the strike not only killed akil, but other top hezbollah operatives who they say were hiding underground. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said in a statement regarding the strike, quote, our goals are clear and our actions

speak for themselves. this strike, coming at a time of heightened tensions, there were two straight days of simultaneous explosions of pagers and handheld radios of suspected hezbollah members, as well as intense fighting along the southern border with lebanon and israel. in response, hezbollah launching its own attacks. more than 100 rockets fired from lebanon into northern israel. israel and hezbollah have been exchanging fire since the hamas october 7th terror attacks on southern israel, which sparked a military offensive against hamas. on saturday, israel striking the al-falah school in gaza. according to the gaza health ministry, at least 22 people were killed, many of them women and children. the idf says the strike was aimed at hamas terrorists operating inside the school. world leaders continue to call for de-escalation of tensions. fighting continues to increase, adding to concerns of a wider conflict. marcus moore

abc news, beirut. >> israeli troops raided the offices of news network al jazeera in the west bank. the troops ordered the bureau to shut down early sunday amid a widening campaign by israel targeting the qatar funded broadcaster. meantime, george stephanopoulos will talk with white house national security communications adviser john kirby about these tensions growing in the middle east. you can watch the full interview on this week at eight this morning right here on abc seven. actress catherine crosby, known for movies such as the seventh voyage of sinbad and anatomy of a murder, has died. the 90 year old died of natural causes at her home in hillsborough. crosby acted under the stage name catherine grant until 1957, when she married 54 year old bing crosby. in the 70s, crosby hosted a morning talk show on a san francisco tv station, and she's survived by her three children with bing crosby. now

to seven, on your side investigates. we're dedicated to bringing you transparency and holding elected officials accountable. one of the most pressing issues facing californians today is the insurance crisis. at least a dozen of the state's property insurers, like state farm and allstate, have either dropped out of california or are only providing limited fire coverage. now, two bills that aim to reduce insurance costs for consumers just failed in the state legislature. >> this is where the palm tree was. >> tom grossman lives in the oakland hills. he's transformed his palm tree property from this to this. >> it went right up and the leaves were into the window. we have the five foot noncombustible zone adjacent to the house. very few oily plants keep these cut back really tight. >> $15,000 worth of fire mitigation. >> we don't want our house to burn down. >> when he first moved here in 2017, our old insurance company in danville refused to touch any houses in this area. now, seven

years later, we're getting insurance up here. >> is difficult to impossible. >> he says six of his neighbors have already been dropped by their insurance provider. this year, despite investing tens of thousands of dollars into their property eyes. two bills that aim to prevent that failed in the state legislature this summer. no assembly bill 2416 would have rewarded homeowners with insurance discounts if certain mitigation efforts are met. >> senator becker and senate bill 1060 would have required insurers using risk models for underwriting to not only account for mitigation efforts, but require the insurance department to make the reports and evaluations public to enhance transparency. >> but the critics of these bills argue they're too complicated and confusing. >> like your feelings? >> state senator josh becker, the author of sb 1060, told seven on your side. he did not bring it up for a final hearing because it didn't have the votes. we found becker received more than $417,000 from finance,

insurance and real estate industries since assuming office. that's according to nonprofit and watchdog group follow the money, an organization that tracks campaign contributions funneled to candidates from individuals and political action committees. >> i think the companies didn't want it to pass. they don't want any more burdens on them. >> it's very unfortunate. >> seven on your side. investigates. found eight state senators voted no on becker's bill, with three others absent for the vote. that group of 11 lawmakers received a combined total of more than $4 million from finance, insurance and real estate industries since assuming political office. that's according to an i-team analysis of a report compiled by follow the money. >> a $4 million, an awful lot of money in a state legislature to give to a less than a dozen legislators, because the contribution limits are so low, it means that they really,

really mobilized. >> seven on your side found all of the legislators who voted against senator becker's bill represent districts with high fire risk areas where insurance companies have dropped or restricted issuing policies. >> it's shocking if you're not taking into consideration those type of wildfire prevention tactics, then what are you modeling? what are you doing? it doesn't make any sense. >> the politician who received the most money, more than $866,000 from those industries, is state senator janet nguyen, who represents district 36, encompassing parts of orange county, including laguna niguel, where at least 20 homes were destroyed last year during the coastal fire. we reached out for comment as to why she voted against the bill, but have yet to hear back. another lawmaker who voted no, state senator brian dooley, whose district encompasses areas of the 2015 butte fire. the 2020 bear fire. the 2021 dixie fire, and the

deadliest fire in the state's history. the 2018 camp fire. senator, you know firsthand the struggle your constituents are facing when it comes to getting home insurance. why did you vote no on sb 1060? >> well, 1060 is a very complicated bill that didn't really make sense. and it was basically the author pulled the bill because he he didn't have the votes because it wasn't something that was going to help californians. well, the bill would have required insurance companies to factor in mitigation efforts for homeowners. >> how is that not helping californians? >> there was a lot of things in that bill that, a lot of moving pieces. it was very complicated and somewhat not workable with what the governor was trying to do through his executive orders and that's why the bill died, and that's why i voted against it. >> senator dolly has helped secure millions of dollars for wildfire prevention projects, and has introduced legislation to support fuel mitigation in his district. but he says he doesn't believe mandating private companies to do more is

the solution. >> at the end of the day, putting more onerous restrictions on companies and the legislature is not the answer. >> according to follow the money. senator dolly received more than $570,000 from finance, insurance and real estate industries since assuming office in the state assembly in 2012. that's 56% of all the money he's received while in office at any point in those discussions with insurance industry representatives. have you ever felt they've influenced your decision on any vote? >> not at all. i want to drive down the cost. you can only drive down the cost. and when you take the risk away. >> so you're talking about driving down costs. do you agree that mandating insurance companies to factor in mitigation efforts would help with that? >> you can require them to do anything you want, and that happens here every day. but they just stop writing policies. they just move out of the state. that's not an option either. >> you know, senator, i don't feel like i got an answer to that question. do you support the idea?

>> look, i've been supporting the ability to do preventive maintenance. i think that's a great idea. >> that idea is currently underway in oakland with the fire safe council. a volunteer group that works to reduce wildfire risks in the neighborhood. tom's neighbor, marty kaplan, is doing things like removing all the highly flammable juniper around his property. >> substantial cost at least $100,000 to do that work, and it makes us wonder, what about people who can't afford these mitigation efforts and the people who can't even get insurance? >> if you have an issue you'd like seven on your side. to investigate, you can go to our website, abc7 news.com/7 on your side. that's also where you'll find this story. still ahead on abc seven mornings, the chinatown lion dance festival is back. how you can experience this tradition said to bring good luck and fortune. and we'll take you outside for a live look atop our roof camera of the bay
