housing on the farms than we did before that shooting. >> new at six. the i-team exposes deplorable housing conditions in half moon bay. >> plus new technology is giving us a fresh look at history. new images of a world war two ship that's sitting on the ocean floor right off california's coast. >> from abc seven live breaking news. >> and that breaking news. a wildfire that's burning buildings and triggering evacuations near clear lake. it started just before noon today and has burned more than 400 acres with multiple active spot fires. cal fire has many crews, resources and several aircraft responding as winds pick up into the evening. they say the fire is behaving erratically. it's in the glen haven area of lake county and spreading toward clearlake oaks, with zero containment. this map, you see, shows evacuation orders in red and evacuation warnings in yellow. cal fire crews are worried about homes near highway 22. buildings have already been

destroyed. >> crews are split a little bit between structure, defense and fire suppression efforts. so we're attacking it very aggressively, both from the air and the ground. as we transition into the evening, we expect those westerly winds to continue. and the concern with that is it could cause additional spotting to keep this fire expanding. >> about 2500 homes are currently at risk. twin pine casino in middletown is acting as an evacuation center. with that, we say, good evening. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. today's top story is the weather. so let's go right to abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel with a look at the current conditions. sandhya. hot hot hot. >> yeah, it's not going to be favorable for the firefighters, that's for sure. dan, let's take a look at the conditions right now. while it is 84 degrees near the fire lines, the humidity is still very low. 18% and the winds are up. they have come down a couple of miles an hour but gusting still to 16 miles an hour. that westerly wind has been pushing the smoke out of the region and eastward out

towards highway five. that's the visible satellite picture. looking at the winds the next couple of hours still gusty before they start to drop off and hopefully crews can get a handle on that fire. but it is going to be challenging. we have a red flag warning for the santa cruz mountains, the east bay hills, parts of lake county until 9 a.m. tomorrow as gusty winds and low humidity combined with critically dry fuels to keep the fire danger elevated. right now in the hills, it is still warm to hot. 88 atlas peak 92. in the oakland hills. here at the lower elevations, we are talking about temperatures in the 90s inland, 70 degrees in the city. most areas came down today, believe it or not. here's a look at the excessive heat warnings and heat advisories that are still going until 11 p.m. tomorrow. as the danger the heat risk is still there. we're expecting those temperatures to once again go up 104 in fairfield, 103 in livermore, 102 in santa rosa, 100 in san jose.

tomorrow, 95 oakland, 90, in san francisco. spare the air alert for saturday, as we are expecting moderate to quality right now. the air quality is good to moderate, but that's the last. i'll be back to let you know when we'll finally get a break from this heat wave coming up. >> dan. okay, sandhya, thanks a lot. fire danger in the east bay is very high today. a red flag warning is in effect. of course, it's hot. the hills are bone dry. that, combined with winds now picking up, pose a real challenge for firefighters. abc seven news reporter anser hassan is live in the east bay in bay point. with the story there. unser. >> dan. good evening. it is still hot out here. you can probably hear this wind picking up. contra costa county fire officials say they are on high alert following this week's heat wave. now, you probably may remember back in july, this hillside caught fire. winds were pushing fire towards this neighborhood. that's the same scenario that fire officials are concerned about for this weekend. it was a wet bay area

winter that fueled the hillside. this past week's heat wave means there's all this extra vegetation that can now be fuel for a wildfire. >> fortunately for us, the week has been not as active as you would think it would be in terms of vegetation fires. but we are on high alert. >> captain chris taylor is with the contra costa county fire protection district. he says they've been up staffing some of their units as this weeks past heat wave intensifies chances of a fire and intensifies how fast a potential fire may spread this late in the season. >> this is our critical time right before our critical time, where all the fuel and the vegetation is extremely dry. >> one challenge in eastern contra costa county, captain toller says, is that there's a lot of wildland urban interface, meaning dry vegetation coming right up to neighborhoods. last july, some neighborhoods in bay point along highway four were under mandatory evacuation as the fire burned more than 120 acres. months later, the conditions are similar, and

toller adds, this is the time of the year when native winds start to pick up in this part of the county. >> what's dangerous in these in these times you got dry vegetation, you get a windy conditions and you have embers that can blow 500ft, half quarter mile. >> another concern with this current heat wave is that there's been little drop in temperatures at night, which means no overnight recovery. >> the humidities remain low so that ignition potential is lasting longer through the day. >> sarah colomer is a forester with cal fire and focuses mostly on san mateo county. she says despite no major wildfires in the bay area, that doesn't mean there's been a slow start to the fire season. >> we are getting small starts, but we're just we're able to catch them. we have aircraft and personnel on duty and we were well prepared for this fire season. we knew it was going to be a challenge and we've just been catching them. luckily. >> we can all use a little bit of luck now. again, it's going to be hot this weekend. fire

officials are advising if you can limit outdoor activities such as mowing the lawn or barbecuing. they say even a small spark can quickly start a big fire. reporting live anser hassan abc seven news. >> it happened so fast, doesn't it? andrea, thanks very much. now you see on the bottom left of your screen there, we've had a qr code. this one on screen, while we've been talking about the heat. here's what you do. just scan it and you'll go directly to our website, abc7 news.com, where you'll find the weather forecast warnings, helpful information on dealing with the heat and more. >> now to a story that's new at six from the abc7 news i-team. the mass shooting at mushroom farms in half moon bay last year shed light on the deplorable housing conditions farm workers have been living in for decades. >> this tragedy prompted a san mateo county task force that has been inspecting every farm in the coast. abc seven news reporter luz pena has been covering this story for over a year now, and she is here with an exclusive look into those findings. luis. >> well, don and emma, this is the first time san mateo county

finally has clear insight into how farm workers are living through a public records request. we obtained never before seen photos, inspection reports and the findings this task force has been collecting for over a year. it's eye opening. relying on satellite imaging, community tips and property records. over the last year, the san mateo county task force inspected over 130 units of housing. in them, 355 farm workers, many homes hidden in plain sight when they were on the site had their eyes open and if there was anything they thought was a residence that had some health and safety issues, they were authorized to also inspect. we obtained the inspection reports with emails and photos of a number of code violations. we went through these findings with justin mates, the deputy county executive and key coordinator for the task force. >> about 60% of all the units we inspected were in compliance. about 40% were not. our main focus was current agricultural and ranch operations that provide housing to their

employees. >> we went down the list. inspectors found multiple units that were not previously registered with the county, and yellow tagged housing at several farms. >> if it's been yellow or red tagged, nobody should be living there. >> one of them cost wholesale florists, inc. inspectors found multiple code violations here, leading to the property owner having to demolish buildings and pay tenants relocation packages. after multiple inspections, the property has been fixed, but others are still pending. one of them is the contreras farm. no one was available to speak on camera. these satellite images captured multiple structures in the property. inspectors yellow tagged one of the units photos show a trailer with a number of violations, wooden structures and mold covering an entire bathroom. inspectors reported a total of 11 occupants in different units here, and one minor. >> i'm sure there's other sites like this. and this is not a this is not acceptable. this is

not acceptable at all. >> half moon bay mayor joaquin jimenez knows the family who lives here, yet he had never seen the inside of these units. he's been advocating for farmworker housing, saying there are at least 1000 farm workers in need of housing. >> owners are responsible. the people that live there are responsible. the county is responsible. >> looking through the records, we found the county's environmental health services also found bacteria in the water supply here. one of the residents was quoted requesting for another sample to be collected. this was a problem inspectors found in 36 units in the county. >> that was the most concerning finding of our inspections, largely the presence of bacteria in the water supply outside of safe drinking standards. >> on the phone, a member of the contreras family said they're fixing the issues. they have lived in the property for decades but don't own it. we looked through the county's records and found an email where victor anaya confirms i am the property owner. anya is the

chief of staff of the san mateo county sheriff. deputies were the first to respond to the mass shooting and witnessed a deplorable housing conditions at california terra garden in 2023. we asked victor anya if he was aware of the conditions on his property. in a statement, he said i want to clarify the inspections in question pertain strictly to land use on privately owned property. i do not own or operate a farming operation, nor do i have any employees associated with such activities. in cases like this, who does the county hold responsible? >> if the operator was different than the property owner, then the property owner may be held responsible. >> we went to another site on the list ananda valley farm. how many people live here? >> okay, there are probably close to 20 people that live here. >> inspectors flagged foundation and water issues here. the staff made changes fast. >> we wanted to be in harmony and cooperation with the county. we partly wanted to get done to help the residents that live

here, mate said. >> many property owners are complying. >> the vast majority of our operators provide housing that meets these essential health and safety standards, and those that didn't, for the most part, have been making those corrections. >> as this community continues to grieve, these inspections hope to shape policies that improve farmworker housing. >> we have a much better understanding today of the condition of our farm labor housing on the farms than we did before that shooting, and some of the policy ideas include new regulations to test the water supply at farms every year, as well as legalizing more housing units and making it easier to get permits to build farm worker housing. >> dan and emma, as you said, that report is eye opening and important. >> extremely important. yes, absolutely. >> well, louis put together an abc seven special about the challenges farmworkers face with housing in the wake of the half moon bay shootings. it's called hidden crisis. tragedy in half moon bay. it's available on demand on the abc seven bay area app or wherever you stream abc

>> that's a nice little scar right there. got about 7 to 9 stitches. i suffered heat exhaustion back in 2017 when san francisco hit an all time high of 106, and these heat illnesses can come on. you remarkably fast. you may feel fine one minute, and then all of a sudden you just feel your body sweating. >> tuma passed out while riding muni and hit his head. he believes ongoing exposure to heat led to the incident day after day. >> it can really take a toll on your body. maybe day two and three. you're okay with the heat wave, but now we're on day five, going into day six and seven, and it can really take a toll. >> if you are at some of these music events. staying in the shade rather than getting a suntan is probably a good idea at this point. >> at hardly strictly bluegrass, we saw plenty of people ready for the sun, like john bryant of livermore got the hat. we saw security guards drinking plenty of water. music goers beating the heat in more ways than one. >> try to take advantage of these beautiful trees and, you know, hit the shade. >> that's a good boy. >> with his heavy fur coat. four

year old german shepherd apollo needs to cool down any and every way he can. >> we have his water bowl attached to us. if we see any running water, any sprinklers, we'll let him run through it. but nine times out of ten, he'll lead us to the shade and then just plop there. >> the best way for all of us to beat the heat is to do what apollo does. go into the shade. >> drink lots of water. you got to stay hydrated on these hot days. >> and at many of these outdoor events, they're sure going to be water stations. it's all about hydrating as much as you can. live in san francisco, suzanne phan abc seven news. >> thanks, suzanne very much. hydrate and take it easy. yes, absolutely. >> that is the order of the day and possibly the weekend. sandhya. yeah, absolutely. ama and dan very important tips to stay hydrated and to keep cool. let's take a look at the temperatures for today. these are the highs. san jose coming in at 98 degrees. breaking the old record of 96 set back in 1987. all week long they have

i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but i'm just the flu.” (sniffs.) it's him! who? i'm just the flu. demand more from your flu shot. sanofi higher-dose flu vaccines are proven to provide better flu protection than standard dose flu shots in older adults. they've even been shown to better protect against flu-related complications. don't get fluzone® high-dose

if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your health care professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. fainting has occurred. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. all flu shots are not the same. ask for a sanofi higher-dose flu vaccine. talk to your pharmacist or doctor about fluzone® high-dose or flublok®. to the damage. it happened at sixth street and channing way. the worst of the damage is to the house's front porch area where the impact happened. obviously, berkeley firefighters and police responded to the scene and roped off the area with caution tape. >> happening tonight, a weekend long, 55 hour closure for part

and they'll be closing it again in another two weeks. >> empty offices shut down shops years after the pandemic, san francisco still isn't the same as before. what do the people hoping to be mayor want to do about it? >> downtown has a different set of needs than north beach has, or the richmond has, or bernal heights, or the mission have, and we use our pocketbook out of city hall to encourage the behavior that we want to encourage. >> we're making it easier to get to yes, in san francisco. >> give me two terms. and everyone around the world is going to be like, san francisco is back. >> okay, we have that on tape. yes. >> hear from each of the leading candidates

race is for mayor. >> abc seven mornings anchor reggie aqui, along with annie gauss from the sf standard and well-known author and podcaster kara swisher, had the opportunity this week to talk at length with the top candidates london breed, mark farrell, daniel lurie and aaron peskin came here to abc seven, where we asked them about their plans to make the quality of life better in san francisco. now, these

in-depth interviews will help you make an informed decision about your vote. >> san francisco's downtown is the economic engine, of course, that drives the city tax revenue from the high rise office buildings to the shops on union square fund vital city services. >> abc seven news reporter monica madden joins us live in studio to tell us what they had to say. monica. hi. >> well, you all know that if you walk downtown, you can really see firsthand the lingering effects of the pandemic. you'll see empty shops vacant offices, and really some quiet streets. so how do we hit the reset button and build a better san francisco? that's what we asked the leading candidates for mayor. downtown san francisco has struggled with bouncing back post-pandemic. >> that will mean a big financial hit for the mall that's faced multiple store closures during the pandemic. >> office vacancy remains a strong indicator for the city's recovery, with about 37% of downtown offices still empty. the top candidates for mayor all pushing their best plan to get the city's economy booming again. nonprofit executive daniel lurie put a timeline on

it. >> give us 18 to 24 months, and we're going to call our friends in the east bay and in the south bay and marin and say, hey, come in, come shopping with us, come out to get a meal and let's go see a show at golden gate theater. and they'll say, okay, i'm coming 18 to 24 months. >> is that what you're saying? >> 18 to 24 months, where we get our locals saying, i want to go back into san francisco, give me two terms, and everyone around the world is going to be like, san francisco is back. okay. >> we have that on tape. >> yes. be modeled after what they did in lower manhattan after nine over 11. it's going to be a quasi public private entity with business leaders, civic leaders and people from my administration to make sure that we recruit and diversify what we have downtown. >> board of supervisors president aaron peskin says city leaders need to rethink the blueprint of tourist areas like union square. >> but what we need to do to revitalize downtown is to bring the best aspects of neighborhoods. and i not only pass that legislation by reforming the building code and the fire code and the planning code. i have a plan. as a matter

of fact, i'm the only candidate in this race who has a plan to offer city financing to bring those conversions forward with lower interest rates. >> you're talking about conversions to housing? >> correct. >> but is housing really what people want to visit? i mean, you can't visit housing in order to revitalize downtown and union square. >> we need a mix of uses. we need it to be a 24 hour neighborhood. we need to have a residential component so that it's alive in the evenings as well. >> former interim mayor and supervisor mark farrell says, in a world where remote is the new norm, tax incentives will help bring businesses back downtown. >> for those of us who've been around san francisco for a long time, is a shell of its former self. it's a ghost town compared to what it used to be. and in my view, city hall needs to be focused on doing everything possible proactively to bring that back, because that is the economic engine. i think there needs to be one tax incentives for employers that will actually relocate to those areas. and then one, the one that i mentioned as well that you've

alluded to is if employers will actually bring their employees back into the office, four plus days a week to work, we can talk about enforcement if we want to. then they'll qualify for additional incentive. >> and mayor london breed says her plan is already in the work, offering tax savings and encouraging mixed use spaces. >> ultimately, downtown is not going to be what it was before the pandemic. it's going to be something better. it's going to be a 24 over seven neighborhood with housing and office space, with retail and nightlife and fun providing tax breaks, fee waivers, first year free for any new business that wants to open in san francisco, we waive all the city fees. vacant to vibrant as a partnership with property owners downtown, specifically to allow businesses to move into their properties and open up. and we're getting rid of the bureaucracy in san francisco. so usually we'll say you can only have retail here. you can only have office here. we're making it possible to do all of them in one footprint for the candidates. >> all of them recognize revitalizing downtown will be critical in improving san

francisco's economy. and all of them agree that downtown's recovery needs to happen swiftly, and it's not going to be the same as it was before the pandemic. hopefully, one day it will be better. like you heard mayor breed say, one day. >> all right. thank you, monica. thank you. >> well, watch more of our special, in-depth coverage of the san francisco mayor's race at abc7 news.com/sf mayor, or wherever you stream abc7 news, a san jose city council member maintains his innocence as he is the target of an alleged sexual misconduct probe. >> details of the case against him are next. >> plus, an underwater discovery decades in the making. we're getting our first look at a world war two ship sitting underwater right off the california coastline

can see the green areas highlighted on this map, where evacuations are no longer in effect. the yellow areas have evacuation warnings. those red parts, though, have evacuation orders. the fire has burned about 400 acres and destroyed two buildings since it sparked around noon in the south bay. >> a san jose city council member, who is the target of a police investigation says he is innocent. according to our partners at the bay area news group, the investigation involves sexually explicit material and allegations of a relationship with a minor. council member omar torres was detained and questioned by san jose police yesterday. he was asked to hand over electronic devices and passwords. torres did not appear at a news conference today announcing federal funding for a new park in his downtown district. mayor matt mehan was at the event. he was asked if he had any advance notice of these allegations. >> no, and i can't comment on it any further because it's an ongoing investigation and we have to let our detectives do their jobs. i know that our

police department is working very hard to get to the truth. >> torres says he's the victim here. he claims the accusations come from misinformation provided to law enforcement in retaliation for a police report he filed against an individual for extortion and stalking. >> get ready for more heat this weekend. sandhya helps you prepare for the temperatures where you live next and you can help affected people affected by hurricane helene. donate at redcross.org. slash abc to help the red cross respond and help people recover

ship operators were among the stocks that benefited most from the jobs report. >> new technology is giving us a fresh look at history, a fascinating, fresh look, seagoing detective work has located a famous navy vessel sunk after world war two right off our california coast. the bay area's fog shrouded coast seems tailor made for hiding ghosts from the past. but now a research team has pulled back the curtain on a mystery that's endured for nearly 80 years. the location of a u.s. navy destroyer known as the ghost ship of the pacific explorer and historian james delgado spun us the seagoing tale of the uss stewart, captured by the japanese during world war two and turned against u.s. forces. >> what had happened is that the japanese decided to repair stewart. when us pilots started reporting it. pretty soon, he said, folks said, that's got to

be the old stewart. and so in the ranks of the navy, stewart became known as the ghost ship of the pacific. >> back from the dead, he says, the navy recovered the uss stewart after the war, towed her to san francisco, and ultimately sank her miles off the golden gate, an area that's now the cordell bank national marine sanctuary. >> and after a couple of hours, stewart rolled over onto one side and sank, never to be seen again until we dropped a remotely operated vehicle on it on august 4th of this year. >> first, it helps to understand that the sinking wasn't an isolated case. delgado assisted with underwater surveys of the uss independence, a carrier also sunk off the bay area coast and was familiar with the waters. then this summer, he was notified by a company called ocean infinity that they were testing autonomous underwater vehicles in that area, and we're working them together. >> do you have anything you'd like to find? why? funny you

should ask. >> using records from navy archives and a special permit from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, the team scanned the ocean floor in early august. finally, with the help of sonar, they homed in on the wreckage. they say the images show a vessel in remarkably good condition. delgado was watching from a remote hookup. >> they dropped the rov and they drove it where we asked them to take it. and for 2.5 hours, we explored stewart, comparing exciting notes back and forth with each other, saying, did you see that? what about this? >> the stewart is still the property of the u.s. navy, and the mission was not a salvage operation. what the team did take away, though, was the satisfaction of solving an enduring mystery and uncovering the resting place of the ghost ship of the pacific. isn't that a fascinating tale? all right, the survey team says the stewart is sitting nearly upright on the ocean floor, about 3500ft below the surface. wow.

>> it's incredible. okay. our weather, i mean, it felt like maybe not quite as scorching today, but just barely. >> but just barely. still really uncomfortably hot. but at least it needs a little sandy. >> it did indeed, dan, and the temperatures did. back off today. we got out of the triple digits except for livermore. a little bit of a break, but that's going to reverse tomorrow. a live view from our pier 39 camera. a lot of sun out there. a warm one for those visiting the bay area. it is going to get hotter as we head into tomorrow. heat advisory in orange in pink as the excessive heat warnings. they're both going until 11 p.m. tomorrow as this dangerous heat wave will take those temperatures up even more. castro street fair is happening on sunday in the city. 11 a.m. warm, mostly clear upper 70s. temperatures rising up into the low to mid 80s. so it's going to be warm sunshine. and then at 5:00 number will be dropping down a little bit, but it's still mild and breezy. live doppler seven showing you a few passing clouds right now as we

take a look at your high temperatures for tomorrow up into the mid 100 seconds for the hottest spots inland along the coast in the 80s and the 90s. as we check out the accuweather seven day forecast. temperatures will remain well above average tomorrow. records are likely this weekend. triple digits still on sunday and hot inland on monday, but not quite as hot as the weekend along the coast and around the bay will start to see the cooling all areas cool on tuesday. and then really, those temperatures are going to slide down to average. and even below average. wednesday through friday is when we see that switchover as a fog rolls in. ama and dan. >> it's been a long few days. >> it has been. it's been a long stretch. thanks, andrea. >> maybe a long game for the 40 niners. >> larry, it's going to be like 98 degrees on sunday at kickoff with the cardinals and the 40 niners deciding to go with throwbacks for sunday's game with arizona featuring the white pants worn by the last niners team to win the super bowl. we're talking back in the 1994

95 season, and here they come. sports is next. to shake up city hall? in nearly ten years as supervisor, mark grew the bureaucracy by authorizing or creating a commission almost every year. he rubber stamped hundreds of millions to homeless nonprofits with zero accountability and orchestrated a pay-to-play scheme that sold out taxpayers to the highest bidder. mark farrell has all the wrong experience for the change we need.

don't mind me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but i'm just the flu.” (sniffs.) it's him! who? i'm just the flu. demand more from your flu shot. sanofi higher-dose flu vaccines

are proven to provide better flu protection than standard dose flu shots in older adults. they've even been shown to better protect against flu-related complications. don't get fluzone® high-dose if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your health care professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. fainting has occurred. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. all flu shots are not the same. ask for a sanofi higher-dose flu vaccine. talk to your pharmacist or doctor about fluzone® high-dose or flublok®.

limited in practice, but i saw fred run around. he looked fine. so expectation is that they'll be out there. here's the challenge for a team with so many injuries. after the niners host the cardinals. then they play thursday night football the following week against the nfc west. leading seahawks in seattle. so only three full days of rest. and then you got a travel day included in there as well. george kittle with advice for his younger teammates. >> when we played on sunday. you're playing three games in 12 days and that's a lot of football. so like what coach shanahan has always preached since i've been in the league, and it took me a while to understand that it was like sleep is the most important thing. so like, hey guys, try

not to stay up late playing nba two k please go to sleep at a good time, get your body maintenance in, get off your feet as much as possible, watch as much film as possible and just be ready for this, this game. because as soon as the game is over, the way that next week's going to hit you with the information and everything, it's like if you're not ready for it, you're going to fall so far behind and it's just you're not going to be ready for it. and then that's how you don't play well on thursday. so we're focused on this one, but just be ready to get going quickly next week. >> i keep telling them you got to get your body maintenance in. dan, i don't know what you're doing there. raiders receiver davante adams wants out of vegas. so what do athletes do when they're unhappy? pop quiz silence okay great social media thank you. thank you. some one person is paying attention adams went next level made a post about edgar allan poe who wrote the raven. so you think he wants to go to baltimore? but his next post was a quote from poe believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. i should probably just be quiet then you're not believing me anyway. warriors are preparing for their first preseason game in hawaii tomorrow against the la clippers. the dubs. they should

have excellent depth. they added a number of quality veteran players and the potential now for a really strong defensive unit for steve kerr, who says he is not quite ready to reveal his starting lineup. >> yeah, i'm not going to make that decision until i have to, but it's going to be hard for sure. we've got a lot of guys who are worthy of playing bp. melton, you know, other guys handling the ball behind steph. we feel like it makes a lot of sense to play fast and that we have the personnel to do it and. but the only way it works is if you take care of the ball and you get get good shots and that's what we're really working hard on. >> school spirit sky high in berkeley right now as cal gets set to host espn's college gameday for the very first time tomorrow morning, very early. the show starts at 6 a.m. cal's game with eighth ranked miami is

at 7:30 p.m, so it's, what, 13.5 hours away? canes are ten and a half point favorites. here's espn's college gameday host and my buddy reece davis with his prediction for cal's acc home opener. >> i saw him go off on the a's owner. the other day, so that was fun. but larry is a pro's pro. he's he's a great guy and i really, really enjoyed working with him when he was at espn, you know, years and years ago now, not more years than he and i would like to admit. i'm sure. but no matter how good he is at his job and he's exceptional at his job, whenever i see him, i can't think of anything except dan patrick walking through the newsroom. when we're getting ready to do a show, and dan for who knows why we got larry biel and i don't know why he did it, but, you know, dp did a lot of things that we didn't know why he did them. so. but i always think that every time i see him so that's what he was talking about. >> me, i thought he was talking

about the game, but yeah, we started ironically or not ironically on april fool's day together, same day. i'm not saying the year joke's on everyone doesn't really. >> i'm sorry, i'm sorry. >> sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. it would be nice if i could just complete the broadcast without that thing. >> babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe. that's fun. what he said reese is tremendous. >> and this is the one job that he has always wanted to host. all the. he's fantastic. and he's even a nicer person than he is a tv host. and he's fantastic on tv. >> thank you. >> that's really nice. thanks. yeah. all right. coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. high potential followed by 2020 at nine. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. the bay area is one of the most prosperous and affluent places in america, even the world. but while the spotlight

is so often on the people and industries that thrive, i want to focus for a moment on the people who live in the shadows. the largely unseen, who put food on our tables, food they often can't afford themselves, and tables in houses that might as well be on another planet for them. as our i-team reported tonight, many farm workers in our communities are living in conditions that are deplorable, inhumane, and unreleased. report we obtained from a san mateo county task force reveals disturbing findings after a year long official investigation, 40% of the units they inspected are not up to code. many unregistered, some yellow tagged, some red contaminated water supplies and unsafe structures for many in the country illegally. it's intimidating and risky to speak up so they live and work in the shadows, many for decades. as i often do. i had a salad for lunch. who picked that produce? how are they living and being treated? what really matters is none of us should feel comfortable anymore. not

knowing. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >>
