team in the south bay. a san jose city council member says he's innocent despite being the target of a police investigation. according to our media partners at the bay area news group, the investigation involves sexually explicit material and allegations of a relationship with a minor. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has the story. >> members of neighborhood associations in downtown san jose say they are shocked to learn about serious allegations within city hall. council member omar torres was pulled over on his way to a vta meeting. he was

scheduled to attend thursday, and he was detained and questioned by san jose police. torres's lawyer says police asked him to hand over electronic devices and passwords, but gave no information about the reason for the investigation. however, our media partners at the bay area news group report that this is a criminal investigation into alleged sexually explicit material in a relationship with a minor. allegations. torres said in a statement, are unfounded. torres said, quote, i want to be absolutely clear these accusations are entirely false. i fully cooperated with the san jose police department, including providing my passwords without hesitation, as i have nothing to hide. it is disheartening that my family, partner, team and i have to confront such defamatory and baseless claims. torres did not appear at a press conference friday announcing federal funding for a new park in the downtown district that he represents. his chief of staff left without comment, and mayor matt mehan was asked if he had any advance notice of the 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. >> truth that legal analyst steven clark says may take time to find in a complex investigation. torres's statement said he's the victim here, as the accusations come from misinformation provided to law enforcement in retaliation for a police report he filed against an individual for extortion and stalking. clark says what's found on torres's devices will indicate who is right and who is wrong. >> was there child sexual abuse material? were there inappropriate pictures exchanged or inappropriate conversations? what was said between the parties? what was the intent of those comments? that will be very key here. >> torres says his office remains fully operational as the investigation continues in san jose. dustin dorsey abc seven news. >> a scam has been discovered at one of san francisco's most popular tourist destinations. the san francisco municipal transportation agency is warning

>> right now, 1 in 5 californians does not have broadband internet. in san francisco, big crowds are turning out for hardly strictly bluegrass this weekend. the free three day music festival is back at golden gate park, and there are 17 performances across six stages today. yesterday, people were ready for the heat, many wearing hats and drinking water with this heavy fur coat. four year old german shepherd apollo needs to cool down any 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 like apollo. >> the best way for all of us to beat the heat is to head for the shade and drink lots of water. you have to stay hydrated to survive these hot days. speaking of, there's another one ahead of us. let's check in with lisa on what to expect. >> all right. stephanie. good

morning to you. you know, we had a bit of a break with a breeze yesterday for the time being. and then that kind of lightened up. but we are back to excessive heat. we have been. but we're also going to see the temperatures spike today. tomorrow, before we see things really begin to change by later on tomorrow, with some fog and certainly into next week. it is 68, in san rafael. look at these mild numbers. 67 in concord, upper 50s palo alto and 58 in santa rosa. another gorgeous view outside the sun coming up after 7:00. the weekend records are likely as the dangerous heat wave continues. it picks up again today and sunday. the high fire danger with hot, breezy and dry conditions in the hills almost as dry as we get. but we will be looking for that fog to return. a cooldown will be in place and we'll be looking at that cooler weather really getting into play by tuesday for our inland valleys, but sooner than that for those of you closer to the coast so hardly strictly this afternoon in san

francisco. wow, it's a warm one. upper 80s for today and you can see just a couple degrees cooler for sunday at 86. and those light north winds. so college game day we've been talking all about it over in berkeley and it has been hot. so we'll continue that trend with the mild morning 9:00 just a few clouds out there, 73 degrees upper 80s by 1:00. and we don't stop there by the later afternoon looking at 94 degrees. and then by 9:00 partying continues. and it's about 80 degrees tomorrow in santa clara as we get a little bit of cooler weather closer to the coast. no deal there for santa clara. it is going to be hot with temperatures in the mid 90s by 1:00, and then by the fourth quarter upper 90s, it will feel even hotter than that with all those people in the stands of course. so santa cruz today, nice afternoon. we're talking low 90s right at the beach there and then elsewhere into the 80s today. so that's why we have the excessive heat warning today. for those of you

in san francisco, it will expire tonight. and will continue to see those warnings and watches expire into sunday night. so that's the good news. highs today 103 in concord. so we were 101 yesterday at the livermore airport. so notice we're coming up a few degrees 103 in livermore today, 102 in santa rosa. not today. this 100 degree temperature in san jose will break a record of five of more consecutive calendar days of 100 degrees up in santa rosa. it's been 1200 degree days for the calendar year, and san rafael has seen ten 100 degree days. so, you know, it's been excessively hot all summer. 95 in oakland today, san francisco, 90 degrees. so it was 82 yesterday. you get the idea of how much hotter it will be today. that ocean temperature 59 degrees. i can verify that. i was at stinson last week. lucky me. the accuweather seven day forecast. so the heat and fire danger continues today. still hot, sunny tomorrow, but we get

a little bit of relief at the coast that continues into monday, and more fog spreads inland for tuesday. and then as you look at the rest of the week that would be average for this time of year. so hard to believe we'll get there. >> yeah. no, i think people are ready for a break. yeah. thank you lisa. well, still ahead an underwater discovery decades in the making. we're getting our first look at a world war two ship sitting underwater off the california 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, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com i will never forget the picture that i have, ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga i'm the only one that's not smiling. even though i'm with my close friends, i felt alone. i didn't feel pretty, i didn't feel confident. when i got invisalign, i built my confidence. it was the best investment that i could do.

world war two. abc seven news anchor dan ashley has the story. >> 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 in san francisco. dan ashley, abc seven news. >> a well-loved east bay nurser, annie's annuals and perennials has suddenly closed. they closed their doors in richmond on thursday and announced it the same day. in a heartfelt letter to the community, the owner says she is facing significant health issues, making it impossible to continue operations. talks with potential buyers make her hopeful. the brand legacy and its offerings can live on. up north, salmon have been spotted in the klamath river for the first time in decades, according to the chronicle. scientists with the nonprofit california trout spotted chinook salmon using a sonar camera. the salmon were migrating upstream, past where the iron gate dam used to

how when i said, what about the u. >> they said, what about the u. you could hear some of the chants out here. >> they are excited. >> even though this game doesn't happen until 730 tonight. these students said it doesn't matter. they came out, they were going to be here and they were going to cheer hard. and you can hear some of that cheering right now. now back to you in the studio. >> pretty incredible. you can certainly hear that loud and clear. the countdown is on. we are so close to espn's college game day at cal. and again, it's the very first time berkeley has been chosen to host the program on our midday show. julian glover and kristen sze were joined by the cal athletic director, jim knowlton. >> it's great to be here. lots of excitement on campus and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow morning at 330 for the lineup for game day. >> oh, plenty of people will be out there. i know, like alumni from 30 years ago who are going to forgo sleep. you know, with

their old sorority sisters and their signs. i know it's a whole thing, but jim, what does it mean for cal to have this right, to have this national spotlight both for cal sports and also the cal community? >> well, i think it's amazing. it's our first home acc football game. so our fans, our football team, our alums, everybody is absolutely excited. and i think for us it's a great opportunity to tell our story, not only about our football team, but our athletic department, our olympians. and then it's really bringing together the campus, the faculty, the staff, and we'll tell a lot of stories. just about what what is the essence of cal. and, you know, we've had some stories with espn about the only people on campus that get parking are the nobel laureates. and, you know, obviously, the play back in 1982 and there's so many great stories and now we have marshawn lynch as the guest picker. so, so we have seen this energy that has just permeated the entire

campus, which is exciting. yeah. >> you all are bringing out some big guns with folks like marshawn lynch showing up to be the guest picker during college game day. lots of excitement. you mentioned that this is the home opener for acc play for cal. since you all joined the atlantic coast conference. i know a lot of us were kind of scratching our head like cal atlantic coast. that doesn't make sense. there were some reservations, but there was also a lot of excitement about the opportunity and what it could mean. how has it been playing out so far from your perspective? >> it's been fabulous. it's really continued to help us expand on the national and international stage. uh- like schools like cal, where you know, the acc schools very much value academics and athletics. and i think our student athletes are really enjoying the competition and, and certainly the athletic directors like dan, who have been just fabulous in welcoming us. it's really been a smooth transition and exciting for our entire university.

>> i know i'm kind of getting used to it. at first. it was a weird thought, right? it's like we faced ucla, usc, washington, and it's so weird to have different opponents, but it is definitely exciting as well and pulls in a national audience. okay, jim, we heard you guys pulled out all the stops for this game. like during the show before the show, after the show, lots of crowd pleasers. >> yeah, we have a lot going on. i was just talking to our swim team that's going to be there in force with their speedos and goggles on, and our entire rugby team is going, and, you know, the chancellor and i, at 4:00, will be handing out donuts. and then at 6:00 we'll be handing out, you know, breakfast burritos, talking to the crowd, getting everyone fired up. and i just think this is a great example of how the university can come together. and certainly it's great to have our football program at the center of it. >> well, we know you have a lot of preparing to do for the big game in college game day on cal's campus tomorrow. we're not

going to let you go just yet, though, so stick with us, jim, because after the short break, miami's athletic director dan radakovich will be joining us, and we're to get to some game day spirit here. maybe even a little trash talk here on the anchor desk. very frie when you have moderate to severe eczema, it's okay to show off. with dupixent, show off your clearer skin and less itch. because you have plenty of reasons to show off your skin. with dupixent, the #1 prescribed biologic

by dermatologists and allergists, you can stay ahead of your eczema. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema to help heal your skin from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin, some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after first dose. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. show off to the world. ask your eczema specialist about dupixent.

memorial stadium tonight. that game kicks off on our sister network, espn at 730. meanwhile, the niners are gearing up for a tough three game stretch, and it all starts with the cardinals tomorrow in santa clara. here's abc seven sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. the 40 niners dealing with a rash of injuries. the schedule is definitely not kind here. the niners play the cardinals, then seattle. so if you squeeze in the previous patriots game, that's going to be three games in 12 days. fred warner had the pick six last week. and george kittle are questionable limited

in practice. but we'll probably give it a go. and fred looked pretty good running around yesterday after arizona on sunday. just three days of rest and you have to include a travel day to get to seattle for thursday night football. george kittle with advice for some of his younger niner mates. >> 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 was like, sleep's 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 uh- 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. >> the warriors, preparing for their first preseason game. they're in hawaii. dubs brought in some veterans to bolster the bench and in keeping with tradition, steve kerr will not tell us his starting five. >> yeah, i'm not going to make that decision until i have to, but it's going to be hard for sure. we got a lot of guys who are worthy of playing. we feel like it makes a lot of sense to play fast, and that we have the personnel to do it, 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. >> a huge saturday for cal hosting espn's college gameday, starting bright and early 6 a.m. is when they started the show. fans can go home and sleep because the game against miami is not until 7:30 p.m, marshawn lynch will be on game day as the guest picker, the celebrity picker, and he told pat mcafee about the expected weather conditions. >> but what should i be expecting from that place? marshawn? >> you should. you should be expecting a lot of dope smoke. okay, i like that. a lot of dope smoke. >> okay. so it's going to be

cloudy in berkeley. it's going to be cloudy in berkeley. >> very cloudy. you understand what the forecast in berkeley say. cloudy. i think it's just like that in the bay area. period. >> traffic and weather with marshawn. funniest picture of the week. spurs training camp chris paul warrior last year. he's about six feet tall. victor wembanyama is seven four and that would be the long and short of it. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody i'm larry beil. >> all right let's talk about this heat. it is here again today. and lisa is tracking what you need to know with some relief in sight. right, lisa? >> that's right. and by later on tonight, we'll see a return to some patchy fog. today is going to be hotter than tomorrow for some of you. relief comes for everyone. really? by monday. but more dramatic on tuesday. so we not only see the spike this weekend, but we're beginning to see the end. where did i go of the heat wave? so as we look at live doppler seven right now, you'll notice that temperatures

are so mild. 66 san francisco. we are seven degrees warmer at the coast this morning than we were yesterday, but we have cooled down into the 50s and maybe a little patchy fog south of santa cruz. otherwise, records are likely today. now we have hit five days of 100 degree heat in san jose for the calendar year, 12 days of 100 degree heat in santa rosa, and six days of 100 or 10 days of 100 degree heat in san rafael. so that's how hot it's been with records dropping all summer long into the fall. right now, as dry as it gets with breezy conditions, temperatures still 20 degrees above average. and then as we get into next week, cooler weather arrives. even by late tonight at the coast, so hardly strictly in san francisc. a scorcher today for city standards as we have an excessive heat warning for the county of san francisco. bernal heights extremely warm today. temperatures in the upper 80s there, so south and east of the city the heat is on right at the

coast. some relief and a little bit of relief on sunday with highs in the mid 80s. game day in berkeley, sunny skies, low 70s today by 9:00. so look how quickly we warm up. 1:00 upper 80s that light north wind not doing us any favors. 94 by later on in the afternoon. that sun setting before seven. but check it out 8:00 9:00. we are still at 80 degrees, so very warm day today over in berkeley. and then tomorrow it's going to be a hot one in santa clara. temperatures in the mid 90s kick off 105 for the cardinals and 98 degrees. fourth quarter. it's going to feel like 100 degrees there 100 degrees today in san jose. so your fifth day here setting a record 98 in santa clara, 95 in sunnyvale, temperatures today about seven degrees warmer for you on the peninsula. redwood city coming in at 98. you were 91 yesterday, 94, in san mateo. look at all those 80s along the coast, mid 80s pacifica. how

about 87? in daly city, downtow? 90. that's a good 7 or 8 degrees warmer than yesterday. hazy air, spare the air alert today with 102 in santa rosa. really try to stay indoors by a fan. air conditioning 100 degrees in san rafael. and as you head over to the east bay, check it out. hayward, 96 degrees 95. in union city 102, in san ramon yesterday. we are 101 at the livermore airport, 103 today. so a few degrees warmer and the accuweather seven day forecast. we're looking at excessive heat today. we'll get some clouds at the coast tomorrow. and then looking at that fog expanding into monday. we are much cooler into tuesday. and then by the middle of next week it is back to normal. so a few more days of this. so stay pati
