tower cameras here, it's super hot in many parts of the bay area, and spencer christian is here with a first look at the forecast. hi, spencer. >> okay, larry, it is quite hot. you're right. here's a look at our heat advisory, which whoops, let me back it up. i got ahead of myself here, which i often do. we have the heat advisory still in effect until 8:00 this evening for the east bay hills and the inland east bay. high temperatures in that area. this afternoon are ranging from mid 90s to around 100 degrees, so the heat has not left us yet, but it will soon because on the satellite radar composite image, you see the marine layer is back at the coast. it's expanding, it's deepening. it's bringing us cooling. onshore breezes up to nearly 20mph in some spots. and check out the 24 hour temperature change. those inland areas are still hot, but most other locations right now are anywhere from 6 to 10 to about 14 degrees cooler than at this time yesterday. and that is significant. here's a look at the marine layer pushing out their low clouds. pushing out over the bay. so tomorrow morning fog. much cooler day. thursday through sunday, some

sunny days and minor warming. but the extended outlook calls for a much more fall-like pattern and i'll give you all the details on that in my accuweather seven day forecast in a few minutes. kristen. >> all right. spencer, thanks. now to huge regional transportation issue. multiple bay area transit agencies are facing fiscal cliffs that they say, if not addressed, could lead to catastrophic cuts in services by 2027, bart is expected to have a $385 million deficit. >> caltrain $58 million deficit. sfmta from to $322 million. >> today, the san francisco county transportation authority hosted several agencies at a special meeting to discuss possible solutions. >> and abc seven news reporter tim johns sat in on that meeting. joining us live now from the newsroom with more details. tim. >> yeah, larry. kristen. the various transit agencies have been warning about their budgetary issues for years now. after ridership cratered at the start of the pandemic, it still hasn't recovered as work from

home has become a permanent part of our lives. but with covid money from both the federal government and the state drying up, the agencies need a new way to pay their bills. the san francisco county transportation authority, hosting a first of its kind meeting tuesday mornin. the gathering bringing together bart, sfmta and caltrain officials to discuss the so-called fiscal cliffs that several bay area transit agencies are facing. >> it's a regional problem, so i don't think it's going to be solved in just one meeting. although i did hear a lot of openness towards solving the problem, which is great. and it's going to require a lot of coordination throughout the region, which means we need to be working with people who are not in this room. >> since the start of the pandemic, the three agencies have faced plummeting ridership numbers that haven't yet recovered to their 2019 levels, with governmental funding coming to an end, the agencies could face a collective budget deficit as high as $700 million by 2027. a nightmare scenario, they say, that could lead to massive service cuts that would have severe impacts across the bay area. the arguments are are financial. >> they are everything to do

with sustainability. so environment congestion and so transportation works in order to keep basically the engine running to address the problem, the agencies and some lawmakers have proposed placing a taxpayer funding measure on the november 2026 ballot. we can't afford right now to take any options off the table. we really need to follow any kind of path that might lead to some relief. >> but with bay area voters actually pass such a measure on the streets of san francisco, some told us they would support it and cited public transit's importance in our car centric regionreally see the impact that a greater integrated public transit system would have on the community as a whole. >> others, though, were more skeptical. >> i don't know one person that has taken bart that says, this is fantastic, daniel mauk says while he thinks public transportation is important, he'd be hesitant to vote yes unless some of the money also went to improving the services provided. it's hard to justify

spending more money for a transit system that is not really that great. >> and that sentiment is something both policymakers and the transit agencies themselves are really well aware of. now, during today's meeting, several people acknowledged that even if a funding measure made it onto the ballot, it would not be an easy thing to get passed. i'm live in the newsroom, tim johns, abc seven news. all right, tim, thank you. >> those huge deficits we're talking about. now to the south bay and to financial crimes that cost victims hundreds of thousands of dollars. one suspect is still on the loose. abc seven news, south bay reporter dustin dorsey has details and what you can do to avoid losing money. >> with a simple click of a mouse or answer of the phone. residents are getting deceived by criminals who end up stealing tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars from them. a victim in san jose thought they were paying an invoice for a business they are a client of, but that was not the case. >> the victim was reached out by what they thought was an employee of the business. they were given another bank account information to send a wire transfer of roughly $500,000.

>> it's a scam known as a business email compromise. when a suspect hacks into a business email account and uses it to reroute payments into their personal accounts. in january, san jose police say their investigation found pennsylvania resident alita torres was the primary suspect for the scam. almost all of the money was recovered by police and returned, but an arrest warrant has still been issued for torres. as police search for other victims of this growing scam, this isn't just happening locally, but it's also happening nationally. >> and a lot of perpetrators are involved. so suspect torres is one of many who are behind this scam, and so a lot of them are also international. >> but it's hit home twice this year in san jose. just this month, one fan was arrested and booked into the santa clara county main jail after he allegedly defrauded an elderly victim to send $1,000 to an address in san jose to fix a computer virus. police are urging caution to be on the lookout for scams. >> we want to remind businesses to be wary, to be aware when conducting business and implement very strong

cybersecurity protocols, procedures and practices. >> sapd says the best ways to avoid a scam are block unsolicited communications, don't give up personal or financial information, resist pressure to act immediately. no scam payment methods such as gift cards, wire transfers or cash by mail and stop and talk to a trusted person like law enforcement. if there is a concern. if you have been a victim of a financial crime or have more information about torres, you are asked to reach out to san jose police in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news crews in the east bay are responding to a residential fire. >> three houses got caught up in flames, but they appear to have a handle on it now. it started just before 2 p.m. at warren way in pittsburg. two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. an investigation is also underway in redwood city into what may have sparked a massive house fire this afternoon. it started around noon on poplar avenue near addison street. this is video from sky seven. as all that smoke billowed into the air. the

seriously. john, we've been trying to interview you for years. fortunately, i have calmed down a little bit. abc seven news reporter anser hassan caught up with some rather furious fans today. >> at the end of this week, the oakland coliseum will still be standing, but with no baseball team for the first time in 57 years. brian johansen will be at the last a's game on thursday. >> if i start talking about it, i'll start crying. i got my wife, i got my son, and then i have the oakland a's, and that's the way my life has always been. >> johansen is co-owner of baseball's last dive bar, which sells a's merch that reflects the fan experience. he's an a's diehard, but he's angered by the letter a's embattled owner, john fisher, released to a's fans on monday. a letter that johansen refers to as one slap in the face after another. >> he just issued a statement in a letter, he tried everything he could. he didn't. they tried multiple times to relocate outside of oakland. >> fisher writes in part, 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'm genuinely sorry. johansen isn't buying it. >> they didn't try to make it work in oakland. you know, they never offered $850 million in private equity in oakland. they never offered just a stadium, only with with no development around it like they did in las vegas, in oakland. they never offered up debt financing. >> in a statement to abc seven news, a spokesperson for oakland mayor xiang tao says, quote, fisher never meaningfully invested in his roster or his stadium plan while his franchise valuation shot up a billion dollars. that's why he fell short of his stated goals, both on and off the field. >> he doesn't have to say anything. all he can do. he already said that he's moving, right? like that's that's all you are forever tainted in the bay area as the worst owner in sports. >> jorge leon is president of the oakland 68 volunteers who support oakland sports teams. he calls fisher's letter insulting and unnecessary. he says there's no need to say goodbye to fans

when leon believes the goal is simply to chase money, he should just not say anything, just kind of leave. >> be quiet. we all know the truth, which is to keep his revenue sharing check coming in. >> leon plans to be at the final game on thursday in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> a lot of people were asking me today, are you going to rant again today? what are you going to say about john fisher today? now, now sadness has overtaken the madness from yesterday. so it's, you know, a little calmer. >> but i saw the comments. people were like, you said it for all of us. well, that was truly the sentiment. there's so many diehard fans having their team ripped away because of one person. >> it's just it doesn't seem right. but you know, nobody said life was fair. fans attending the final three games will be sent home with a few souvenirs. >> abc seven's amanda delcastillo has more on what's sure to be a bittersweet, more bitter than sweet sendoff. fans at the final three games at the oakland coliseum will not just have memories of the end of an

era, they'll have a little bit of stuff, too. >> for every game this week tuesday night, wednesday night and thursday afternoon, oakland a's fans will get a special final series commemorative ticket. then thursday, the last game at the coliseum, the first 25,000 fans will get a replica of the oakland coliseum. it is a sold out game, so this means a little more than half of the ticketed fans will get one of those replicas. this whole thing has been a little controversial. the fans won't actually receive the giveaway item until they leave, so some people were speculating there was a ploy to get people to leave early. but it turns out that first 25,000 fans, they'll actually get a voucher when they go in to trade in for the swag when they leave. still, the hashtag stay in your seat is trending among fan groups. they just don't trust team officials anymore. the groups are encouraging diehard oakland a's fans to stay at the coliseum as long as possible for

that final game. i'm amanda delcastillo. let's play ball. >> giving away bobbleheads after the game is so a's on brand. i have to tell you. coming up on abc seven news at 4:00. cracking down on sideshows. first the state and now san francisco. changing face of shopping centers. could tech be taking over the mall? and no more cell phones in schools. we will check in and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪

high schools also did. superintendent clark says this has really cut down on distractions for students in those schools. and he says the number of disciplinary incidents has also dropped. plus, they're finding other benefits. >> what we're finding at the schools that have implemented this during lunch time and passing period, kids are talking to one another. they're getting to know people. they're like, they got to sit down and talk when they have their cell phones, you'll see them. they'll be at a table and everyone will just have their face in the phones. no one is talking to each other, no one is doing things. and this just kind of takes that away. >> superintendent clark is applauding governor gavin newsom's move, signing a new law monday that california will have to create rules restricting student smartphone use to try to minimize distractions in the classroom and address the mental health impacts of social media on children. >> bills like these are necessary to really bring the conversation home and give schools and districts the backing to start to make some of these tough decisions around the

the day tomorrow with some lingering low clouds and they'll be slow to burn off. unlike the pattern we've had, the last 2 or 3 days. overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s, except down in places like fremont and san jose, which will see low temperatures not dropping below 60 degrees, of course. over in antioch, which is often, excuse me, often one of our warmest overnight locations, we'll see a low of about 63 and highs tomorrow 62 at half moon bay, 69, in oakland, san francisco 64 up in the north bay, where we had 90s today. 70s tomorrow. inland east bay, which had upper 90s to about 100 today. only low 80s tomorrow. here's the accuweather seven day forecast now. it will warm up again a little bit on thursday with even further warming on friday. nothing like the heat we've had the last two days, but there will be some toasty areas inland with highs in the mid 90s, but then further cooling or another cooling trend begins on saturday and that will take us into a nice comfortable weekend and a cozy more autumn like week next week. >> yeah, looking forward to

this, i will just say kids don't chase prestige. find the university that best fits you, has the program you love and doesn't put you in a hole, right, in terms of financial debt. but yeah, universities pay to be able to use the marketing. and sometimes you got to question why. why do they do that. yeah. and it's also it's subjective to those lists change every year. >> i should point out i mean your ama mater cal ranked number two for public universities, which is quite an honor. i was trying to avoid that. >> dan, dan, dan, you should have been down here about an hour ago, and kristen was really upset about the fact that cal should clearly be number one. >> and that's why she was citing off all these. >> i feel the same. my ama mater, ama mater, university of north carolina, is number five on the list. so it did very well. but i thought, what do you mean? it's clearly should be number one. well, there you go. >> clearly the best, right? yeah you're not even going to dignify. >> the big point is we have some wonderful universities in california, which is something to be happy about.

>> and my ama mater, the university of hawaii, it was not mentioned. >> why or why? yeah. >> well, look at what it produces. >> and look at the graduation. >> exactly. now to a very special doordash delivery. a hungry phoenix resident was surprised when three police officers dropped off his order. police arrested the delivery driver after a traffic stop, and they saw the delivery and they said, yeah, let's go. let's go complete this thing. not something that they had to do, but the officer's boss said that they did it out of the goodness, or the officer did it out of the goodness of his heart. that's that's awesome. i mean, i, i don't know what the reaction is when you see the a very large police officer suddenly outside, you're thinking, oh, he brought his lunch. what have i done? >> it was a legal sandwich. i don't know what the officer what did you pull me over for? >> i have no idea. >> yeah, but what a nice gesture, though, right? >> yeah. >> yeah, really sweet. >> that's. yeah. i mean, we need more of those kinds of feel good stories on a daily basis.

>> that goes a long way to protect and to serve. >> yeah. literally. >> literally to serve. yeah. >> all right. coke's most recent permanent flavor is fizzling out. the bubble has burst on coca-cola spiced just six months after it hit shelves. it blended coke with raspberry notes and quote warm, spiced flavors such as vanilla and nutmeg. the sales were not exactly spicy. coke says it plans to introduce new flavors in 2025. new flavors have not learned. >> just stop. stop with the new flavors, right? >> yeah. you know, there's a saying dance with the one that brung you. yeah, that's it. yeah, it just works. i didn't even know they had had tried this, actually. >> so it was new news to me as well. you know. >> you know, there's so many brands if you look at like at cookies, there's like 18 different flavors of oreos. like what? what what have we got, neapolitan oreos or i mean, it's just i don't know why brands maybe maybe they just they've sold as much regular coca-cola that they can sell. so it's like, well, let's try a little

of this and try to maybe get new people into the tent by trying something you know, that's, that's new that they wouldn't have tried before. >> who knows? but it sounds almost the description may sound like they're trying to come up with the soft drink version of wine with overtones of nutmeg. oh, yeah. >> yeah, it didn't work. our producer mentioned gen z apparently likes this, but apparently not enough to keep it afloat, right? >> yeah. guess not. >> even the gen zers don't want any more spice. coca-cola. that's it for the four at four. let's talk more about ucla at some point in your skin is ever-changing, take care of it with gold bond's healing formulations of 7 moisturizers and 3 vitamins. for all your skins, gold bond.

company has made $50 billion from the drugs, the company saying 80% of people with private insurance who take these medications pay $25 or less, that they have programs for people who don't have insurance and don't have the money to pay for their diabetes medication. >> we are very committed to make sure that americans have access at an affordable price point for our medicines. >> the company also says the high costs go toward developing and manufacturing the drug. >> we launched ozempic in 2018 and we have had it on the market for some years. during those years, our price has declined by 40%. >> ultimately, lars jorgensen blamed the u.s. health care system, saying middlemen are driving up the prices. >> it is a very complex market and very complex health care system that creates a lot of misunderstandings. >> the novo nordisk ceo blaming pharmacy benefit managers and industry. he says, can hike the cost of drugs even when the
