saturday and have since been growing in number. >> a lot of unhoused people out here in downtown berkeley came by. they were looking for a place that was safe to sleep. we told them that they would be safe if they were with us. >> well, i'm glad that there's a place like this where people feel safe. >> gordon gilmore is unhoused. he's also the co-founder of the berkeley homeless union. >> not have to fear or have the constant fear of having their possessions thrown away and their home and needing to relocate. >> hanging over their head, things like bread and baked goods, providing everything from food to connecting services. >> i'm going to put a table here. >> the idea is to create a space where she can meet with people because there's so many people all night long. >> what we found here throughout the night, so many people have come that have been hungry. so we're giving them tents, we're giving them food, we're giving them sleeping bags, and then they feel safe here with us. >> and they say they're ready to weather the heat. >> the community has really been reaching out, been really good to us, and bringing water and food, ice and any attempts by

law enforcement to remove them if they come and sweep. this will set up another one. there's no there's nowhere for people to go. they can sweep. this will be across the street. they can sweep across the street. we'll be back here. >> we did reach out to the mayor of berkeley for comment on the protest and on the sweeps, and are waiting to hear back. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> developing news this morning in the south bay, san jose police say a city council member is the target of a child sexual misconduct investigation. and gloria police have not revealed any details about the case or identified the council member. but we know one has released a statement to our media partners at the bay area news group. >> amanda san jose police would only confirm to abc seven news that an investigation is underway involving a member of the council. they would not release any other details. however, multiple sources tell our media partners at the bay area news group that police served a search warrant on a council member, omar torres, and detained him yesterday. the investigation is related to alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor. torres issued

a statement through his attorney to the bay area news group late last night. he said the investigation is based on misinformation and was an act of, quote, retaliation from someone that he asked police to investigate for extorting and stalking him. and the statement went on to say, quote, i want to be clear that i am the victim in this matter. it's heartbreaking that my family, my partner, my team and myself have to respond to such unfounded and defamatory allegations. torres was elected to the council in 2022. he represents district three, which includes much of the downtown area. abc seven news has reached out to him directly, but we have not yet received a statement and we also asked san jose mayor matt mehan about the investigation, but he declined to comment on this case. reggie. >> gloria. thank you. happening today, santa clara county leaders and parents will protest the termination of board of education superintendent mary ann dewan. dewan was fired without cause and a 4 to 2 vote

show were forced to wait while that investigation unfolded. the gates were reopened around 9:00 and the concert did finally go on after that. hans zimmer has another show at the oakland arena on wednesday. happening tomorrow, cal fans will be getting up really early for the first time ever. espn's college game day is coming to berkeley. the popular pregame show starts at 6 a.m. tomorrow, and a lot of people are going to be showing up if you're planning on going. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes is here with what you need to know. hi, zach. hey, reggie. >> good morning. you know, cal was one of only six power conference teams that had never hosted an espn college game day. so it's overdue. and the excitement on and off campus is already being felt, both for the game itself and the espn college gameday pre-show. we got to be there. as crews constructed the stage for saturday morning's live show at memorial glade in front of doe library, and students and fans get to surround that set and be part of the show. it airs tomorrow morning from 6 to 9 a.m. the pit is opening at 330 tomorrow morning, and fans are encouraged

to arrive early and bart is helping them do just that. the trains are going to be starting at 4:00 tomorrow morning and are arriving at the downtown berkeley station at five. >> we're going to have five early trains that will stop at a dozen stations to get people to downtown berkeley, which is our closest station to cal, in time for the big pregame show. one of the things we really want to emphasize, though, is that we're only opening 12 stations in addition to downtown berkeley, so you can't just show up at any of our 50 stations and expect to see a train there early. >> yeah. remember, to bart, parking is free on saturdays at stations that do have parking, so the first 400 fans to get there will get to stand directly behind the stage. you can line up no earlier than 12 a.m. saturday morning, arriving before that does not mean you're going to be first in line or guaranteed access to the pit. so sleep in if you can. the first 1000 fans are going to get free donuts and coffee. there's also chances to get free breakfast burritos, t shirts, hurricanes and golden bears. play saturday

night at 730 on our sister network espn. >> thank you zach. i've been to college game day at penn state and it is a wild time, so i hope a lot of you are going there. it is going to be hot tomorrow in berkeley. the morning temperatures by 9 a.m. we're already into the 70s. look at this by five. it's hot sunshine. we're closing in on 90 degrees tomorrow. and even later on in the evening. it is warm with clear skies. so our heat wave does continue through the upcoming weekend. that's the headline. another hot day today. a hot weekend is on the way and then heat relief is coming tuesday. but we still have several days of these heat advisories and excessive heat warnings today. if you're keeping score for this terrible game we're playing, it's day five of our heat wave. so the forecast today we're mainly in the 80s and 90s. today we'll have a couple of locations hit about 100 degrees. but underneath this heat wave, this is certainly not the most extreme day we've had. but again these temperatures are above average. and we've had several days of hot weather that it just compounds itself when it comes to the effects of heat on your

pay raise over the next six years, and a total ban on certain forms of automation. the maritime alliance has offered a 62% raise, tripled contributions to benefits and pledged to limit automation. ila members current base salary is $81,000 annually, but some can earn 200,000 with overtime. this raise will increase top dock workers hourly pay from $39 to 63. the ceo of the national retail federation, celebrating the suspension, writing the sooner they reach a deal, the better for all american families. consumers were already on edge after the strike was announced. >> i came in at 930. i was waiting online because i know people panic every time they hear something. >> panic buying, clearing toilet paper from shelves at big box stores. despite the fact that the disruption would not have affected domestically produced tissue paper. andrew dymburt, abc news, new york. >> california health care workers are getting some good news this month. a long awaited minimum wage increase will take effect. the san francisco chronicle reports that it was

delayed because of budget concerns. the law promised health care workers wages would go up to $25 an hour over the course of several years. some employees may see that full increase sooner than others, depending on where they work. the law is expected to cost the state $1.4 billion in the first six months. >> the california department of public health says at least two people in california are sick with bird flu. both of them are people in the central valley who had contact with infected cattle. there is no known connection between the two cases and no human to human spread has been recorded. both patients have reported mild symptoms and neither was hospitalized. the state health department says the risk to the general public is low. >> safeway, albertsons and vons have agreed to pay nearly $4 million to settle allegations over overcharging. across california, seven counties, including several from the bay area, accused the brands of charging people more than the lowest advertised price. so as a part of the settlement, the

mainly between 98 and about 100 today, even along the coast. ye, relatively cooler, but still warm for this time of year in the 70s and 80s from half moon bay to santa cruz. overnight tonight we'll get a little bit of cool down near the coast where we're in the 50s, but away from the coast, or mainly in the 60s and 70s. and then again in our hills. we are staying in the 80s overnight tonight. so here's a look at saturday future tracker. it just gets hot around here once again. mid 90s for oakland. back into the triple digits for san jose 101 102. in the north bay 102 104 in the inland east bay in the 80s along the coast. it's a similar story here. even into sunday. monday is hot and then tuesday will finally cool these temperatures off. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast, keeping count at home. we have four more days of this heat wave. it will likely end by monday evening, but the weekend is very hot. please continue to find ways to stay cool. stay hydrated. but relief finally arrives tuesday. widespread fog is back and the cooling continues wednesday and thursday. guys.

decades after the menendez brothers were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for killing their parents, there is a chance the pair could be freed. the la county district attorney's office has announced a review of the case. attorney mark geragos filed a petition in may of last year, submitting new evidence on the case. the evidence involves a letter purportedly written by erik menendez months before the killings, that detail alleged sexual abuse committed by their father, jose menendez. also, a separate alleged victim of jose. la county da george gascon, who used to be the san francisco da, says there has also been a shift in the public perception of sexual abuse from a moral and an ethical obligation to review what is being presented to us. for the menendez brothers and their supporters, specifically, the best case scenario here would be that they get released. the review could also determine no need for resentencing, and

the two would remain in prison. erik menendez, his wife, tweeted about the case last night, saying we truly value the support we've received following the district attorney's statement. we hold on to hope that this november will bring the resolution we have all been wishing for. we would deeply appreciate your ongoing prayers as we await their official response. that's the end of her quote. >> we're hearing for the first time from the family of a daly city man killed in a shooting last weekend. relatives of rolando yanga shared this photo of the 60 year old father and husband on sunday night. yanga was followed home, reportedly after a dispute at the gym where he worked and then was shot. a 21 year old man and his mother are charged in the case. the yanga family said in a statement he was taken from us through a senseless act of violence, leaving our hearts shattered and our lives forever changed. a gofundme campaign has been set up to help the family, with yanga's final expenses. it has more than doubled its $10,000 goal in less than one day. you can find a link to this on abc
