exxonmobil is one of the world's largest producers of polymers. the building blocks of plastic products. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn explains that the company is blamed for playing a role in a plastic pollution crisis. bottles, containers, plastic utensils. state attorney general rob bonta says exxonmobil plays a big role in creating plastic pollution and misleading the public about how much can actually be recycled. >> while many of us here exxonmobil and think of the gas pump, the company is the world's largest producer of polymers, basically the building blocks of plastic. >> ag bonta filed a landmark lawsuit against exxonmobil, saying the company has been deceiving the public for decades and telling people buy as much as you want, no problem, it'll be recycled. >> they say. lies. >> several environmental nonprofit groups have also filed a lawsuit against exxon, saying that exxon made misleading claims about recycling and that has damaged california

waterways. >> san francisco bay has been incredibly inundated with plastic pollution over the decades, and 7 trillion tiny pieces of microplastics enter san francisco bay every single year. >> san francisco baykeeper says exxon is a major polluter and that it needs to stop lying to the public about how much recycling actually happens. >> exxon really is trying to promote recycling and so-called advanced recycling as a solution to the plastics problem, but we all know that actually plastic cannot be recycled. less than 5% of the world's plastic is actually legitimately recycled. >> litigation from ag bonta and a group of nonprofits aims to hold exxon accountable for the pollution problem. in california. exxon has responded by issuing this statement saying, quote, to date, we've processed more than 60 million pounds of plastic waste into usable raw materials, keeping it out of landfills. we're bringing

real solutions recycling plastic waste that couldn't be recycled by traditional methods. the two lawsuits come as governor gavin newsom just passed a law that would ban multi use plastic bags in california starting in 2026. critics say it's time to address the pollution problem at the source by holding exxon accountable and preventing more polymers from single use plastics from ending up in our waterways. in san francisco, suzanne fawn, abc seven news. to the accuweather forecast now temperatures are soaring and it could get dangerously hot. abc seven weather anchor spencer christian has details now on a heat advisory. spencer, it is steamy out there right now. >> it really is. even san francisco almost hit 90 degrees today. here's a look at that heat advisory. so right now the east bay hills and east bay valleys and the santa cruz mountains, santa clara valley and eastern santa clara hills are all under this heat advisory that expires at 8:00 this evening. now, tomorrow, it will also be in effect from 11 a.m.

to 8 p.m. for the east bay hills and the east bay valleys. so we have temperatures, high temperatures ranging from mid 90s to about 100 degrees. and of course, under these conditions, there's an increased risk of heat related illness. let's take a look at our moderate to major heat risk today. the areas colored there in the orange are under moderate heat risk. under the red mainly east bay and south bay are under major heat risk for today. and our current temperature readings reflect what we've been talking about. it is 98 degrees right now at fairfield, 97 at livermore, saint helena, 103 degrees. we've got mainly mid to upper 80s and some low 90s around the bay shoreline. san francisco has cooled down to a mere 76 after having reached 89 degrees earlier. i'll give you a look at the forecast that does indicate a cooldown coming. our way in just a few minutes. kristen. >> all right. thank you. spencer. with the a's down to just three games left to play in oakland, team owner john fisher is finally addressing and apologizing for the team's departure from oakland. abc

seven news sports director larry beil joins us now with more on fishers open letter to fans. the letter right there. >> this is the letter. this is a great work of fiction, by the way. oh, yeah, that's what it i. so many a's fans would say this explanation is both weak and long overdue. but we're finally hearing from fisher about exactly how we got to this point in time. fisher says he knows the a's are part of the fabric of oakland, and then goes on to explain his version of reality. fisher says when he and his business partner lew wolff, bought the team back in 2005, quote, our dream was to win world championships and build a new ballpark in oakland over the next 18 years. we did our very best to make that happen. we proposed and pursued five different locations in the bay area and despite mutual and ongoing efforts to get a deal done for the howard terminal project, we came up short. now he goes on to say, i know there is great disappointment, even bitterness. though i wish i could speak to each one of you individually. i can tell you this from the heart we tried.

staying in oakland was our goal. it was our mission and we failed to achieve it. and for that, i am genuinely sorry. now, over the weekend, the a's hosted the yankees for the final time at the coliseum and it was emotional. they got swept in three games. the a's did, but the series brought out some of the biggest crowds of the season to the coliseum. the final series ever in oakland starts tomorrow. the a's hosting the texas rangers the very last game at the coliseum is set for thursday afternoon, starting at 1245. that game is sold out, by the way, cheapest resale tickets are going for around $65. in typical a's fashion, they raised the price for the last game all right, so you heard fisher's statement. let me tell you what reality is. okay, john, you tried five different extremely flawed stadium proposals. you never got even close to a shovel in the ground. yes, oakland is often a mess. i will give you that. but, john, you surround yourself with incompetent yes men. and because you were born into a billionaire family,

apparently never learned, you have to spend money to make money. see joe lacob and the golden state warriors. your buddy who still wants to buy the team, john, you're a serial penny pincher. you've destroyed your family's great name and legacy because of your cheapness. as for the statement about loyal a's fans, quote, i wish i could speak to each and every one of you individually. end quote. seriously, john, we've been trying to interview you for years, but you always choose to remain invisible unless you're begging politicians for public funding and then you're out in front in las vegas. okay, okay. okay. so let me just deal with this for all a's fans. i can't i can't do this enough. but here's the thing. there's one glimmer of hope they're going to supposedly play three years in sacramento. if other owners and the players association had any spine at all, they would say, no, no, no, we're not doing that. we have

yet to see a real financing plan for the a's stadium in las vegas. we're still waiting. vegas is still waiting. they don't have one. yes, 18 years they've tried and they've screwed it up every time. i don't know that that's going to change. i would love to see another massive failure by this ownership group. and then maybe major league baseball would force a sale to somebody locally. and there's a bunch of groups. don't listen to anybody that says there's no fan base or there's no money in oakland. that's total nonsense. i can go call three billionaires right now that would buy the team. okay so yeah, that's who i hang. >> i wish i had a microphone for you so you could drop it right here. >> i was going to say you can take the rest of the show. we only have about 53 minutes. >> oh, i can i can continue. all right. yes. you can. >> no. anyway, i mean, i guess like most a's fans, i'm balancing between sadness and anger. yeah. and right now i

think anger is winning. >> and i've never seen you like this. >> that statement does nothing for anybody. any a's fans out there? >> no, no, it's i mean, you sort of have to release a statement. i mean, what would be nice is a news conference where you take questions, but but we haven't seen we've never seen that. >> start now. >> why start now exactly. it's only been 18 years anyway. >> speaking on behalf of a's fans everywhere. their frustration. thank you. >> i'm going to go. >> calm down. yeah. >> do some yoga. >> take deep breaths. >> okay, larry, we are following the story of the struggles facing the san francisco unified school district. and today we learned about how the city is stepping in with millions of dollars and a new team to support the district. abc seven news reporter louis pena has been following the district's attempts to deal with possible school closures and significant financial challenges. louis tell us about this latest effort. >> yes, karina, the san francisco school district is on the verge of going bankrupt. and recently, the california department of education

announced it was sending a fiscal advisor to sfusd to check on the budget. that's one of the first steps for a state takeover. today, the mayor is intervening. san francisco's unified school district is in crisis with a $400 million budget deficit over a three year period. the state is threatening to take over. now, san francisco's mayor is stepping in. >> the school district is facing some serious financial challenges, and our plan is to go in and to make sure that by the end of this year that we help them with a balanced budget, that we help them make the right decisions based on facts. >> despite the mayor not having control over the school district on sunday, her office announced the creation of a team of top city leaders to help advise the school district on ways to tackle this crisis. she's calling it the schools stabilization team, and they will be taking a lot of guidance from our stabilization team, and

we will be making a number of recommendations that we expect them to implement. >> the seven member team includes the city's executive director of the department of children, youth and their families. >> we are walking into a very critical situation at the school district, and we want to bring our experts in the city to provide support to our school district. >> this announcement follows an emergency sunday meeting where the sfusd board of education spoke about terminating superintendent matt wayne. instead, they reached out to the mayor's office for help. >> we are committed to working with superintendent doctor wayne as a governance team to really tackle the significant challenges facing the district. >> last week, superintendent wayne was set to announce a list of sfusd school closures, but that announcement was postponed until october. adding to the uncertainty, many feel, including sfusd teacher and parent heidi sheridan. >> no one's school is safe. and

with the lack of transparency, it's nerve wracking. >> the creation of this team is giving her hope. >> we can use any of the help we can get. i feel confident that there's representation from the department of rec and park and department of children, youth and family services. so i think anything and any expertise we will take to avoid a state takeover. >> and the city is also deploying an additional fiscal support of $8.4 million. the school district has to provide a clear plan and a balanced budget to the state by the end of the year. that is what the city's team will be focused on. i also asked the mayor about a list of schools she said. they're still evaluating this in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news. >> well, breaking news governor newsom has signed a bill aimed at limiting or flat out banning student cell phone use. the new law requires school districts, charter schools and county education offices to come up with a plan by july 2026 to limit or ban cell phone use by

today, investigators gave details about the second deadly incident of gun violence at vta in just more than three years. >> steps away from where the tragic vta mass shooting took place three years ago, investigators gave us more information about the latest workplace shooting, this one taking the life of ten year veteran vta bus driver, 45 year old regulus regis teotico, shown here in his linkedin profile picture. >> he was a kind, hardworking driver who was well known amongst his colleagues. regis was father to two teenage children and everyone at vta extends their deepest condolences to his family and friends. >> the suspect in the shooting is 33 year old duc bui. another vta bus driver and a man. investigators say teotico knew

bui and teotico were assigned to the vta yard, the site of the shooting, friday evening just before 10:00. santa clara county sheriff's office captain sue hay says bui and teotico participated in many of the same activities outside of work. and most importantly, although this investigation is still ongoing, we believe the motive had to do with money owed between the two from their betting activities, which had nothing to do with their employment. sadly, teotico is not the only vta employee killed on vta property in recent years. in 2021, a disgruntled vta mechanic shot and killed nine coworkers before he died by suicide. >> and so for many people, this is reliving one of the worst experiences they've ever had in their life. >> in that shooting, many criticized the transit agency for missing red flags that could have prevented the loss of life. investigators say bui did not exhibit similar red flags and had no involvement with law enforcement. based on their early investigation. the sheriff's office will increase security across vta for the foreseeable future. bui will appear in court for the first

time on september 25th. >> this was a senseless crime without question, and while it was an isolated, targeted event, we recognize the profound impact it has had on all of us. >> vta is offering grief counselors for employees after they are once again forced to face a tragedy at their place of work. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> new developments now, oakland mayor xiang tao says she has issued an executive order to clear the city's homeless encampments. mayor tao says she has directed the city administrator to enforce oakland's municipal code governing illegal campsites. she says the city will move to shut down encampments that pose the most danger or pose the most pressing public safety hazards. this is a video announcement she posted on social media this morning announcing the order. >> departments are directed to ticket, tow or remove to preserve access. if an encampment is creating fire hazards like blocking hydrants, burning fires within 30ft of

structures, or illegally tapping into electrical wires. we must clear it, tao says. >> the city will shut down sites with compassion, offering alternative housing to people who need a safe space to stay. the coast guard was able to keep some spilled diesel fuel out of the bay at coast guard island in alameda this morning, the alameda fire department showed up as a precaution while crew members cleaned up diesel fuel that leaked inside a coast guard cutter as it was being prepared for deployment, some crew members were exposed to the fuel and sent to the hospital to be evaluated. they are all going to be okay. well, the big weather story, of course, is the heat. but thankfully it's not going to last for too long. kristen know just hang in there a little longer. right? spencer. >> right. that's right. the heat is going to hang in there one more day, and then after that things will settle down to a more comfortable range of temperatures. here's a look at what's happening on the satellite radar composite image. you can see during the afternoon hours earlier today, i should say even into the morning hours,

we had a little bit of an offshore flow which contributed some to the warm up. the rapid warm up right now, the wind flow is shifting a bit to more of an onshore flow, so it's beginning to cool down a little bit near the coast and you can see the wind speeds aren't very strong, but don't expect much of a development of a marine layer tonight. if it does develop, it will be slow to develop and that will be mainly during the overnight hours. check out the 24 hour temperature change is rather dramatic. 21 degrees cooler. warmer rather warmer in san francisco right now than at this time yesterday, and most other locations are anywhere from ten to about 15 degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. so let's take a closer look. it is 76 degrees in san francisco right now, but we hit almost 90 degrees earlier this afternoon, 85 in oakland we have low to mid 90s at hayward, san jose, redwood city and 70 degrees at half moon bay and other temperature readings right now looking northward, 99 at santa rosa, mid 90s at napa and petaluma, upper 90s at fairfield, concord and livermore. blue sky over the golden gate. you can see that there's no hint of a marine

layer developing yet. these are the forecast headlines. the heat lingers through tomorrow. nearly as hot as today. middle of the week will bring us cooler weather, more fall like pattern and into the weekend we'll see temperatures rebound just a little bit. heat advisory remains in effect until eight. excuse me. 8:00. this evening for the east bay hills and valleys. santa cruz mountains, santa clara valley, and the eastern santa clara hills tomorrow. the east bay hills and east bay valleys will be under this heat advisory again until 8 p.m. so tonight we'll see a little bit of a flow of wind down along the coastline. not much in the way of clouds except offshore. there'll be lots of drizzle offshore as well. some of it may work its way up to the coastline, but not likely to see any wet spots tomorrow morning. overnight lows will be generally in the low to mid 60s, so that's pretty mild, about ten degrees milder than our overnight lows often are this time of year. tomorrow's highs 70 at half moon bay 78 san francisco. mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline. upper 90s to nearly 100 in the warmest spots tomorrow. and here's the

accuweather seven day forecast notice a sharp cooldown on wednesday by about 10 to 15 degrees. generally on thursday, it. temperatures bounce back a couple of degrees, so it will be mild to warm on thursday and friday, but not hot and then as we go into early next week, we'll see temperatures settle into a more stable range. but the extreme heat will be gone. >> i don't know. i'm looking at that next monday still kind of warm. no. >> 90. >> 92. that's nothing like 99 or 100. >> that's true. i think you said a sharp drop. was that it? >> yes. i will take that. >> yeah. >> one day that will be on wednesday. >> okay. yeah. >> thanks, spencer. all right. >> workers are striking as some of the most popular hotels in san francisco right now. we'll hear from the impact from the hotel guests. >> and do you ever find it hard to navigate across public transit platforms in the bay area, like taking vta to bart? well, there's a new effort to get

striking. these employees are picketing outside the westin saint francis and union square for 24 hours a day. we also saw a group outside grand hyatt nearby, and employees from hilton san francisco union square are also striking. nicholas javier has been working as a server at the westin saint francis for the past ten years. >> we are striking until we win and that's it. yeah no other option at this point. >> so you're prepared to strike for days or weeks? >> that's right. we are. yeah. until until we win, we won't go back in until we win. >> the union unite here. local two says employees are asking for higher wages, fair workloads and affordable health care from three major hotel chains hilton, hyatt and marriott. we are hoping for a fair and just contract that reflects the realities that we are all living under and the realities that we've had to the burden that we've had to shoulder as hospitality workers in this city. this follows months of

contract negotiations and is a continuation of a three day strike over labor day weekend, when thousands of hotel workers walked off the job in several u.s. cities, including san francisco and san jose. abc seven talked to people staying at the affected hotels. >> when you're in the building, you don't hear any sound. so i think they've been peaceful. it appears that they're very well organized. they're making their points without hassling anyone who's walking back and forth. >> so workers decided not to strike last week during salesforce's dreamforce 20-24 conference, especially as the city recovers to bring back business after the covid 19 pandemic. >> we want people to come back to san francisco. we want people to come back to the bay area. we believe in san francisco. we are all in for san francisco. >> hyatt saying in a statement, we are disappointed that unite here local two has chosen to strike once again. while hyatt remains willing to continue bargaining in good faith, we have contingency plans in place to minimize impact on hotel

operations related to strike activity. westin, owned by marriott, saying the westin saint francis remains open. we remain available to meet with the local union negotiating committee to reach an agreement that is fair to all parties, and a strike has been authorized in oakland and sacramento. but it is unclear if the employees there will go on strike in san francisco. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> with the hodgepodge of systems across nine counties navigating the bay area on mass transit can certainly be confusing. well, today, the mtc unveiled new signage aiming to streamline the look of maps, bus stops and visual messaging across all nine counties. these signs will debut first at the el cerrito del norte bart station and at the santa rosa transit mall. there are places served by multiple transit agencies, each with different looking literature. not all transit agencies are convinced, though, that this will work for riders. >> i do have a an overarching concern that we're not thinking

from the person getting out of bed in the morning to going to work to go into extracurricular activity and getting home, how they do that trip planning, and they do it for a resident, most often on 1 or 2 systems, and for a tourist. >> seven other bay area transit hubs will see the new signage installed in the next two years. a rodeo turned into a rodeo. yeah. >> take a look at this. oh, gosh. the last thing you want to happen. but a bunch of bulls got loose on sunday in this stampede. saga isn't over yet. >> and another historic moment for women in sports. a national women's soccer league champion is honored

he also visited mar-a-lago and the golf course multiple times. was he just scoping out? was he potentially with that rifle? had he failed actually previously in carrying out an assassination attempt on donald trump? >> ruth was taken into custody last sunday after a secret service agent spotted the barrel of a gun poking through the bushes on the course where trump was golfing. trump now has increased security. he's on the trail today back in battleground pennsylvania over the weekend, trump in critical north carolina and notably absent the republican gubernatorial candidate he endorsed. cnn was first to report mark robinson made racist and inflammatory comments over a decade ago on a site, including calling himself a black nazi and expressing support for reinstating slavery. abc news has not independently confirmed the report, which robinson denies as he defends his candidacy today. >> we are not going to let cnn throw us off of our mission. our mission is to win thi >> also over the weekend, vice

downside to this. what if you stop liking the person your roommate? and secondly, or even worse, what if she gets a boyfriend, right? and he wants to move in? you need to write up a contract. >> i mean, you need to consider those things. >> yeah. you're pretty much going into a business with a friend. yeah. got to be careful. >> you're swimming into shaky, maybe sharky territory. >> yeah, yeah, but i do think there's something to this. you know, instead of buying into an area, hoping that you'll find people you like, you bring the people you like, you know? yeah >> especially if it makes it more affordable. i mean, so many people just can't afford these houses anymore. so it's like, hey, let's split it up. >> like for girlfriends, buy a four bedroom home together. why should you live in four studios or four one bedroom apartments? right. >> sounds like a party to me. >> there's a new plastic ban that is in california. the governor yesterday signed a law to ban all plastic shopping bags. california already has a ban on thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other

the counter. it happens. it is so annoying. i keep bags in the car now, but sometimes you use those bags and then you forget to. it's like an umbrella. so that's the worst. when you forget the bags. and then you have to buy the bag. yes. yeah. >> i mean, i do carry a big purse, so i stuff a lot of things in there, like bread. >> i put stuff in my pockets. i don't need a bag. >> but leanne, the governor watched your piece that you did, so thank you. that's how that got done. yeah. okay. pack your bags. traveling could be the key to you living a longer life. according to a new study out of australia. the study suggests people who travel and go for new life experiences may age more slowly than everyone else. researchers at edith cowan university say traveling can improve physical and mental health by exposing people to new environments, promoting social interaction, and encouraging physical activity. tsay spencer, you subscribe to this? this is why you're 250 and look like you're 50, right? >> i love that. well, i have traveled quite a bit. a lot of it for work, but it's been

like though. that is, there is the shovel because it gets a little deep sometimes. yeah. >> hang out with certain people. >> leanne, what do you think? >> well, i really like the one that's exhausted and i think working moms will realize that. yeah, that's the one for me, because we're always exhausted. but i also, you know, the tree one makes me sad because i think of california. yeah. sometimes the drought, the fires. yeah. but i like the root vegetable too, because that's a big staple in puerto rican diets. >> so i think i want the matcha latte emoji. you know how there's a boba one but that's brown. but that's my favorite drink is the matcha latte. can you put in a request? >> where do we put in a, you know, the request for a new emoji? yeah. who approves them i don't know. >> yeah, one day, your joints hurt. next, it's on your skin. i got cosentyx.
