in oakland. you will notice it's up 16 in san jose, 14 in santa rosa. looking at those temperatures right now, 80s and 90s for a good chunk of the bay area. a couple of 100 showing up to our north. the heat advisory that was in effect for today. parts of the bay area got upgraded to an excessive heat warning. it's the inland valleys, hills and the san francisco bay shoreline. the rest of the area shaded in orange is a heat advisory. all of this going until wednesday night at 11 p.m. the risk of heat related illnesses is moderate to major. for today, i would take it easy out there and definitely stay hydrated because you can see where the highest risk will be. these spare the air alert was also extended. it's not just for today, it is now in effect through tomorrow as we are expecting moderate to poor air quality. we are just getting started with this heat. it is going to intensify. i'll

be back with a closer look at the heat wave that is ahead. coming right up. kristen. >> all right. sandhya, thank you so much. so while the heat advisory is in effect for all of the bay area, the east bay is especially feeling some of the hottest conditions. san ramon has seen temperatures climb into the low to mid 90s? just go to that qr code on the screen to get the latest information on the heat. >> everyone trying to beat the heat the best they can today for sure. we want to check in now with abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley. she's live for us in lafayette. >> and leslie, you have more on the concerns about this heat for folks? >> absolutely. today, i can tell you it was really pretty pleasant out here in the east bay up until midday this afternoon. the winds died down. you can really feel that heat building up. it's might be in the mid 90s. it feels like it's considerably hotter than that. so we're in for a rough couple of days out here. temperatures as high as 107 degrees could take a toll on pets, plants and

people in the east bay over the next few days, fire officials are remaining vigilant, but just high temperatures without high wind or low humidity means there is not alarm at this point. over this fall heat wave, we don't have any plans right now to staff additional resources. >> we are not scheduled for a power safety shut off through p-g-and-e's. we are not anticipating this to be a high fire danger event, but there are health concerns about air quality. >> when you have low winds, there's not enough uh- energy there to push out the pollutants. >> so with the spare, the air alert in effect, the advice is to limit outdoor activity and stay ahead of the curve. when it comes to hydration, you want to drink lots of water. >> keep really hydrated because you're not even going to notice when you are getting dehydrated. >> public safety power shut offs are possible in rural areas along the southern slopes of mount diablo, according to p-g-and-e's, but most of the east bay is expected to not lose

power. people still are altering their plans. >> get up early, go out and do your stuff, and then in the afternoon, or as soon as it starts to heat up, you stay indoors. >> we have a six year old and two year old, and it's a bummer because they can't get outside. we can't can't get the wiggles out. can't go to the park. >> schools anticipate reducing outdoor recess time and pe classes on tuesday and wednesday if it's deemed to be too hot, they will probably go to the gym or a cool spot and have minimal to no activity for p.e. athletic directors will use a thermometer to measure humidity and temperature to see if it's okay to proceed with outdoor athletic practices. so for after school activities, coaches could do anything from extending water breaks to outright canceling practices on tuesday and wednesday. i also spoke today with contra costa county. they said they have no plans to open any cooling centers. at least

right now. reporting live in lafayette. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> those cooling centers certainly would be a big help, though. thank you. leslie. let's talk about some of those power shutoffs that leslie mentioned in her piece. p-g-and-e's has put hundreds of bay area customers on alert for the possibility of preemptive power shutoffs. they could start in the next few hours. in alameda county, 346 customers could be impacted. so we're not talking about a lot of people here, along with 286 customers in contra costa county in the north bay, 268 customers are now on alert in sonoma county, and 140 customers could lose power in napa county. the shutoffs could begin this evening and last through tomorrow. well, this is the map from p-g-and-e's giving you a look at the current outages. the purple that you see there shows the psp outages all rural, less densely populated areas where fire danger can pose real problems to residents there. well, the power's back on in the northeast portion of san francisco, more than 2000

p-g-and-e's customers saw their electricity knocked out for several hours. it happened this morning. businesses around fisherman's wharf and pier 39 were impacted. the lights came back on in a few hours, following those repairs. >> there are new details in a shooting that happened in bay point. the contra costa county sheriff's office says a man was shot and a seven month old baby was grazed by a bullet. this all happened yesterday when a fight between two large groups of people broke out on the street near dasani circle and harvey way. the man and the baby were taken to the hospital. right now, we don't know their conditions. police arrested two suspects. there are new details about a deadly shooting that happened during a high school reunion picnic in west oakland over the weekend. police confirmed to abc seven that 38 year old tony miller was killed saturday night at defremery park. the shooting happened at the annual mcclymonds alumni action picnic. investigators say there may have been more than one shooter, but so far no one has been arrested. the sister of

the man accused of stabbing and killing tech executive bob lee was subpoenaed to appear in court today. a judge ordered her to appear again next month as a witness for prosecutors. nima momeni is accused of killing lee in april of last year. his sister has been at the center of the case. prosecutors say the murder weapon is a knife that came from her apartment. well, defense attorneys have said he acted in self defense that night, that lee was killed. >> now to the developing news from the giants that people have been talking about all day long. >> the team is shaking up the front office. this after yet another disappointing season. abc seven sports director larry beil is here with the details. larry in with buster posey, a fan favorite. >> absolutely. a franchise icon, actually, to try to steer the ship back into the playoffs and ultimately another world series. farhan. far gone. there have been rumors about this going on for weeks. not a huge surprise. the question was if farhan zaidi was let go as director of baseball operations, who would take over? and now we know it is

giants legend buster posey. now farhan took over back in 2019. things appear to be going great. remember the giants won 107 games in 2021. that was fool's gold. giants have been mediocre since then. zaidi a big proponent of analytics to the point it seemed like the analytics people actually had a lot more influence than the baseball people. the giants missed the playoffs for the third straight year. the fan base becoming less and less interested in truly a boring product on the field on many nights. giants chairman greg johnson said this. ultimately, the results have not been what we had hoped. and while that responsibility is shared by all of us, we decided that a change is necessary. we're looking for someone who can define and direct and lead this franchise baseball philosophy, and we feel that buster is the perfect fit. now, the giants will officially introduce posey as the new director of baseball ops tomorrow. other questions loom. who does buster pick to surround himself with? are we going to see forever giants like hunter pence, who bring so much energy and brandon crawford? would they be involved? they want to be

involved. are we going to see a move away? slightly or more than slightly from analytics player development was supposed to be farhan specialty. it just has not happened and the franchise has suffered as a result. the model here was similar to what the dodgers have done. you build up your farm system, you get great young talent and then you add a shohei ohtani or a mookie betts. well, the farm system has been a disaster. and so you couldn't get part one done. so you never got to part two, right. so here we are. the big adds never happened. yeah, exactly. i mean, everybody you know, the giants kick the tires on everybody. but they couldn't get him to sign with the exception of blake snell and matt chapman. and snell is probably going to want a huge raise. so who knows if he'll be back. >> well you mentioned four other giants such as hunter pence and whether they might fit into this new picture. so we'll be talking with him in about ten minutes from now. well, yeah. we'll ask your pressing questions there. >> please, please do, please do tell him i said hi. all right. >> appreciate it. okay. well, now to the south bay, where san jose state women's volleyball.

they seem to be facing some challenges this year. yes. >> two schools have refused to play against the team this month, apparently because one of the athletes identifies as transgender. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has the details. >> in the middle of an undefeated start of the season for san jose state women's volleyball, it's the games the team has not played that are creating a cloud of controversy. boise state announced in a statement that they would not play its scheduled match against sdsu on september 28th, accepting a forfeit and a loss. southern utah also refused to play the spartans two weeks earlier. while the teams have not commented further, conservative lawmakers such as idaho governor brad little applauded boise state for fighting for fairness in women's sports and ensuring player safety by not playing san jose state because an athlete on the spartans roster identifies as transgender. gabrielle antolovic is the president of the billy defrank lgbtq plus community center in san jose. they're appalled by the spreading hatred toward transgender athletes. >> it's happening all over the country, you know, so part of me

is not surprised, but part of me is also very upset that it's continuing to happen. >> in addition to the forfeited games, the co-captain of the sdsu volleyball team, brooke slosser, has joined a lawsuit challenging the ncaa title nine protections regarding transgender athletes and women's sports. in the court documents, slosser questioned if it was safe or fair for her and her teammates or their opponents to share the court with a transgender athlete. the mountain west conference and the ncaa have participation policies for transgender athletes, outlining sports specific testosterone level testing and other guidelines. san jose state university says student athletes are in full compliance with ncaa rules and regulations, and could not comment further due to privacy protections. antolovic is worried about the safety of the sdsu athlete and calls on the community to support her and other trans athletes in a time of dangerous misinformation. >> it's not fair for one person to carry the burden that has nothing to do with them, really, because it is a movement that

has gone awry. >> the next team on sdsu schedule is colorado state. a spokesperson for the team says that match is scheduled to move forward in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> history in mexico will take you there live ahead of the inauguration of the country's first female president. >> and catching up with hunter pence on the giants front office moves announced today. >> and san francisco's new strategy to catch

female president of mexico today. >> reporter anabel munoz, from our sister station in los angeles, is live in mexico city, where the country is looking ahead to tomorrow. anabel >> hi. julian and kristen. yeah, we're in mexico city, where it's starting to rain. just a night before that inauguration. and while we're here, we're covering a number of different issues that impact mexico and the u.s, including migration. behind me, you see a historic monument that is el angel de la independencia, the angel of independence. it was built more than a century ago, and it's a common gathering place for social and political causes, for protests, for celebrations, for protests against u.s. immigration policy. and typically we cover migration on the northern end of mexico in tijuana. but before migrants,

refugees and asylum seekers make it there, many are here in mexico city for weeks, months or longer. not far from mexico's national palace, where supporters will greet the country's first female president, is one of a handful of migrant encampments in mexico city. >> bastante largo y peligroso yoandri marcano is from venezuela. >> he says he decided to embark on this quite long and perilous journey over socioeconomic reasons. >> yeah, yeah, he's waited for about a year here for a cbp one appointment to seek asylum in the u.s. for now, he's earning money and finding purpose in running this coffee and bread stand for fellow asylum seekers. >> sabe cuando llega waiting for the moment to come, he says. only god knows when it comes. nonprofits in the area explain immigration policy on both sides of the border, and mexico's role is constantly changing. >> we have all the phases of migration. we are a migration country. we are a receptor. we are a country for transit and

also for displacement. in the last six years, the us administration has changed its policy, its migration policy, so many times. >> and i think that what people don't realize is that affects our work and it affects migrants immediately on the ground. and so we're constantly having to adapt. >> the institute for women and migration hosts weekly informational sessions here. >> there are 12 shelters, established shelters in mexico city, but there are tens of thousands of people who don't have formal shelter. and so that's really right now, the biggest, the greatest need is just basic services, health care, food, clothing, shelter, because it's cold, it's starting to get cold and it will get colder. >> the bi national organization, al otro lado, has an office in tijuana and is now launching a project further south. >> what we're seeing here is that individuals who do not have status in mexico are being rounded up and sent even further

south into mexico, and this is in line with the new policy that allows individuals in tabasco and tapachula to wait there for cbp won appointments. >> mexico's national migration institute says that between january and may of this year, it identified more than 1,393,000 undocumented migrants traveling through mexico from more than 177 countries and five continents. many of us want to make it here, but it's been a while. i have a lot of will and a lot of dreams, but the journey's become longer for us, says marcano. according to government data, regular migration has tripled so far this year compared to the same period last year. many are keeping a close eye on what shane baum's immigration policy will look like, and what mexico's relationship with the u.s. will look like in terms of migration. presidential elections here in mexico are every six years for one term. so this is a somewhat unusual year

where we have presidential elections in both countries. and where it is possible that both countries could be led by women. reporting live in mexico city. anabelle munoz abc seven eyewitness news. >> well, we'll see exactly. >> certainly a history making day for mexico tomorrow, anabel. we'll see you again for the inauguration. we appreciate your reporting. thank you. so much. >> and we are counting down to the vice presidential debate. that's tomorrow night. republican vp candidate jd vance and democrat tim walz will be debating each other in new york city. you can watch the debate right here on abc seven. our live coverage begins at 5:00. >> we are not debating about this heat because it is here. it is sticking around and i'm ready for it to go. >> i know i'm like, i know who the losers are in this particular battle. it's us because we're going to be sweating under the collar. sandia oh, absolutely. and kristen and julian, you know, the tough part is a lot of the homes here in the bay area are not equipped with air conditioning. some have it, some have to rely on fans or cooling centers or just kind of getting somewhere to stay cool. so let's

talk about what's happening. a live view from our santa cruz camera. you might want to go to the beach to escape the heat, but keep in mind it is going to be warm even at the coast. so here's a look at the headlines. dangerous heat wave ahead with records likely the next two days elevated fire danger as we are expecting dry, breezy conditions in the hills. and friday the heat moderates. but i say moderates with a grain of salt. you'll see the accuweather seven day forecast in just a moment from our walnut creek camera. it is bright, sunny. view upper 70s from san francisco. by the way, san francisco made it up into the upper seconds. oakland 89 degrees 94. in san jose it is 90, in redwood city and half moon bay. in the mid 70s. from our mount tam cam, you can certainly see why the air district extended that. spare the air. we're already seeing the pollutants building up 94 in santa rosa, 93 right now in petaluma, mid 90s fairfield, concord, livermore. high pressure is starting to take control. winds are flowing in a clockwise fashion around that ridge of high pressure that

downsloping wind is bringing fire. weather concerns up to the north. it's a red flag warning until tomorrow morning. down to our south, the monterey county area of fire weather watch starts tomorrow morning, runs until thursday at 8 p.m. this area will see gusty winds than what we're going to experience. as a matter of fact, we're not expecting strong winds here in the bay area, but in the hills it is going to be a gusty wind, a downsloping wind 18 miles an hour in the oakland hills. when you combine that with low humidity and the fact that we have vegetation that's dried out, that's where the fire concerns come in. so let's go hour by hour. this evening. still going to be in the 90s for many of you inland heading into seven 2060s coast side but 80s and 90s inland. so really going to be slow to drop off in terms of the temperatures. and then tomorrow morning, starting off in the 50s to 60s, even a few 70s by lunch, it's already getting really warm to hot. and then for the afternoon, this is dangerous heat that we will be facing. be prepared for it as it

is not going to just go away after one day. temperatures first thing in the morning under clear skies, 50 to 70 tomorrow afternoon with this heat wave 107 in gilroy, 102 in san jose 98. milpitas on the peninsula 101 in redwood city. mid to upper 80s. even near the coast. downtown san francisco 92 degrees 89, in daly city. north bay. temperatures plenty of triple digits from san rafael to santa rosa. 105 degrees. bodega bay, stinson beach in the 80s 90 in sausalito 100 degrees in vallejo, heading into the east bay. berkeley oakland mid 90s 99 castro valley, fremont. inland areas. this is going to be a scorcher. 107 in livermore, 106 in concord. that heat risk that was just for the bay and inland today expands even to the coast. it's going to be moderate to major for the entire region. so take it easy. once again, stay hydrated. the accuweather seven day forecast dangerous heat wave puts us at 107 tomorrow, 108 on

wednesday. fire danger coming in as well. and then temperatures drop a little bit thursday. you don't feel it until friday when we start to notice upper

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.

home in las vegas earlier today. rose spent most of his legendary career in his hometown with the cincinnati reds and also played for the philadelphia phillies and montreal expos. rose, known as baseball's hit king, accumulated more than 4200 hits over his 24 season career. pete rose was 83 years old. >> let's get back to our coverage of one of the biggest

stories of the day today. leadership shakeup at the san francisco giants. the president of baseball operations. for the past six years, farhan zaidi, has been fired after several disappointing seasons back to back. replacing him will be one of the most beloved figures in franchise history. retired catcher buster posey, and someone who knows posey better than almost anyone who won two of posey's three world series alongside him is hunter pence. >> joining us now to talk about this huge move. hey, hunter, thanks for making time for us today. >> hello, kristin. it's great to be here. and what a wonderful day in san francisco. obviously, i'm excited, but the news of pete rose definitely is hitting me hard right now. >> oh no doubt. and i'm sorry about that. but in terms of getting back to buster, i can see your excitement. i think all of us fans who live the 2010 to 14 era are just saying yes, yes, yes. but i know you guys are close. talk about your conversations. what motivated him to say yes to this? >> you know, i think you know, buster, he didn't have to do this. and this is this is a

massive life commitment. this is a massive time commitment. and i think it just it goes to show his enthusiasm for this organization, this city, his love for the game of baseball. and, you know, he he's a passionate fan and a passionate person who wants to see, you know, he he truly believes this is the best franchise in baseball. this is an extraordinary organization. they've treated him well, he's done well for it. and he cares about it. so for me, i just i think the world of buster, i think he's amazing. i know he has a tall task in front of him, but i am excited to watch him on this journey. i'm happy to try to help, but i just love the brand of baseball, the leadership and his passion for the sport. this is just an amazing day in giants history as you mentioned, he does really have a tall task in front of him right now. >> and fans obviously really enthusiastic about this news. but as someone who knows him so well, what makes him the right person for this moment? >> you know what? i really do think he is the right person. he sees things from angles that that are very difficult to see. he is an extraordinarily i woul, i would, i would go and say just

a, just a brilliant baseball mind but just sees angles that, that you don't see. he's kind of he's got, he's got that 5-10 and you know, the catcher that outwits everyone that's able to, you know, back in the days of sign stealing, be able to hide the signs, read the batter, read the pitcher, know what he's doing, and really just be a step ahead of everyone. always. and the game is always changing, no doubt. and he has his fingers on the pulse. you know, in our conversations he's watching every game and he has a very big eye, a good idea of what it takes to for winning baseball. we've had many discussions throughout our time together, and it's constantly, always evolving. but he is the right person. he understands the game. he's walked the walk. not very often. you can see an mvp baseball player take the reins and go and be a gm. and you know, we saw what chris young was able to do with the texas rangers. you know, a world series champion pitcher pitched for a long time. and buster, there's no one better in my eyes to help turn this ship the right direction. >> yeah. i mean, he's got the smarts. he's got that buster hug

that i feel like we're all being enveloped in right now. hunter. but you just said something that caught my attention. you said if i could help him. so you've been quite the ambassador for the giants, right? but with buster at the helm, would you consider taking on a bigger, more direct role with the giants as well? >> well, yeah, i mean, i'm obviously, you know, helping everywhere i can and any which way. and buster is going to do his due diligence to get the right task. but i think he knows that, you know, that i'll be there to do anything to. we all want to see a lot of us, you know, alumni want to see this organization back in the playoffs. and creating great memories that we have had. and it takes time. it takes work and it takes the right people. and, you know, it takes making the right decisions. so he's going to pick his right people. i'll be here supporting him, whether it's doing that or broadcasting or whatever that case may be. but i once again, i will be having conversations with him if he has the time. i'm sure that that is tough, but i am excited to hear, learn and watch. as a

fan of the giants and a love for the city, as you know, kristen, i am excited to just watch it unfold and watch him go to work because really, he is, and you read a lot of the stuff, you know, is this just a pr move? this is not a pr move. this is a baseball mind. and someone who's going to shape this franchise in a beautiful direction. and there's no doubt about that. i believe that in my heart of hearts. >> well, if you get some news to share, you got to come back when kristen sze 3 p.m. show and make sure you share it with us first here on abc seven, we want to circle back to what we were talking about, obviously at the beginning of the conversation, acknowledging the loss of pete rose dead at 83, we're learning that he passed away at his home in las vegas. the hit king, you know, no one quite like him. what are some of the memories your reflections on his life, legacy and career? >> well, i was fortunate to get to be in the documentary about him, but he was one of my favorite players, and i really related to him. you know, i was known for hustle, and i was obviously made fun of that as a as a young player and, you know,

coming up and same with him. he actually was like, i think it was the story goes, mickey mantle called him, hey, look at charlie hustle over there. and he wore it like a badge of honor. and for me as a young kid, that was battling, you know, those things, i was like, you know what? you're you're right. i am captain intensity. you're right. and i started wearing my hustle as a badge of honor. so he was someone that i definitely looked up to. obviously, he was a remarkable player. he would talk to me from time to time, you know, we were in cincinnati and give me tips and pointers and just, you know, he just really was an enthusiastic, enthusiastic baseball player. he was a guy who loved the game. and obviously, i just really, am a big fan of the way he played the game. and he's the hit king. so, whenever you lose someone like that, it hits you. and this is a special day in giants history. and for me, you know, getting the privilege to play by buster, a little bit of that is, is just saddened by the loss of a great one. but he lived a great life, and he was a great man. >> it's all those emotions at once. it certainly is a big loss today. right. and hunter, we

always appreciate you generously giving us your time, your positivity and your insight. so thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, chris. >> and thank you all for having

but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details,

majority were on crosswalks. you just crossed the street and somebody didn't stop. >> yeah, it happens a lot here. >> a driver who didn't yield to this pedestrian was stopped by officers. and yes, despite the bright suit, it also happened to lieutenant oso while we were there. >> surprisingly, some people say they don't see them, a lot of people say they do see them, but they're mistaken about the rules. >> residents here are thankful, but also want a permanent solutions. >> they don't stop. they stop when the police are here. >> and yes, people do ask the question, why did the chicken cross the road? >> and in this case, do it for traffic safety and awareness. >> and by the way, lieutenant oso is doing this on his days off. the ticket can cost anywhere between $300, and they're actually ticketing between 20 to 30 people every single time they do this operation. and now they're getting calls from other san francisco neighborhoods asking for this operation. luz pena,

fantasy football set a new all time mark with more than 12 million people playing the game for the first time. arlan tepper and ellen silberstein are new to the game, but their motive was not football. their league just outside of new york city, was created so moms could stay connected to their sons who were headed off to college. >> i was very upset when he left because i was officially an empty nester, and i actually couldn't wait for the first time. i could call him and ask him about the game. that way it didn't look like i was checking in on him. i could just ask about the game. >> we would facetime every week, and there's a feature where you could share your screen, so it took a little bit for her to figure that out. but after some thorough explaining, we she finally figured it out. she would share her screen with me and i'd walk her through how to do it every single week in the league, mom and son form one team, but only mom has access, meaning only she can adjust the lineup. >> the boys can't simply take over the team, and since the
