anything goes in san francisco is not the way! >> now 11:00, an intense battle over the most controversial issue , homeless encampments on city streets. plus, why a local race ende with runners breaking out in pots-filled rashes. why one group says this

could drive them out of business. >> from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i am sara donchey. the debate over homelessness came to a head with protesters against counter protesters coming face-to-face. at issue was an injunction that allows the city to sweep homeless encampments. both sides who fel incredibly passionate about thi in their own way met outside of the court of appeals. even the mayor herself got fiery today. >> let's not let one judge impact our ability to do what all san franciscans want! they want clean streets, they want homeless people to be helped, and that is exactly what we are trying to do! >> encampments sweeps take away

what homeless people need to survive! >> he is actually thinking tha where and when he does his business might need to change. kelsey is here with a look at that. >> reporter: thanks, sara. i talked with the guys at black cat jazz supper club. for anybody who has been to a jazz club, you know that it is all about the nightlife. these guys are rethinking that because the say that every single day they deal with a lot of crime and even sometimes violence. >> reporter: when you think of jazz club, most likely you imagine a dark room, leather chairs and good music. the blac cat jazz supper club has all of those things but they also have a big problem. >> you know the saying nothing good happens after midnight. >> reporter: the black cat is i the tenderloin and director

jason moore says they barely go a day without something happening. >> we had a person come in off the street demanding contraband to do drugs with and we told hi no and he assaulted me and my bartender. >> reporter: jason said the crime, rampant drug use and homelessness in the area is unbearable. last year the drug was looted and vandalized and he said that last week somebody just came in and stole their computer while they were open. >> summary came down the steps, stole a macbook pro right off the host stand. >> reporter: it is even worse, jason says, at night, which is nightmare for a business like theirs. after all, it is a nightclub. >> i don't blame people not wanting to come down, even though we tell people to wait inside while you're over is coming. >> reporter: even with all the safety precautions, jason says they can't do it anymore. that is why they have made the decision to change their

business hours. >> we are going to start openin earlier in september just because that is what guests are asking for, for earlier times t get in. >> reporter: a matinee jazz set may not have the feel of the late night sessions they have grown used to, but he says they have no use but to try it. he just wishes the city would try too. >> nobody is getting anything done, and that is the whole problem. >> we have seen a lot of business owners like him and in this area say they want to leav because of that. that is a lot to go through. what does he say >> reporter: these guys say the don't want to do that. the tenderloin is a historic jazz neighborhood so they want to keep the music alive in the neighborhood but that is not to say they are not getting political with this. they have been keeping an eye on what has been going on with this injunction and they are all for

it. >> of course homelessness advocates have their own take o this and many of them point to one big issue, and that is whether the city has enough shelter beds for people. according to city data, about 3400 people sleep in shelters every night in san francisco an about 4400 people sleep on the streets. advocates say that is why the city should not be thinking about kicking people out of encampments. >> we have to look at what the city is doing here. it is movin the problem from block to block rather than finding the shelter and housing solutions we need. >> we talked about advocacy groups with the city and businesses but residents have lived this debate in their own neighborhoods, too. over the past year are wilson walker has been reporting on the biggest issues the tenderloin has been facing and he has talked with the residents most impacted. today wilson found that there i a lot of frustration at a syste that a lot of people say is jus

not working. >> the first thing i saw was an explosion and the flames hit my window. >> the tenants could've been burned out of the building. >> the police can do nothing to clear it because they say that the injunction prevents them from clearing the encampment. >> reporter: the camp in which the fire started had been here for months and we were on this very block in march as city crews were out offering service to people in these tents. >> there is more work than we can handle out here. i just had a lady tell me to move from one corner to another. we have to explain to people that we have rules we have to work with. >> reporter: marked with emergency management talked us through how things work. under the court order it meant that

the tense state even as outreac teams came through again and again and again. there are any number of reasons why people might decline a specific offer. somewhat like hotel rooms, for which they are not eligible. >> they want you to throw away your personal property and drop everything and go with them and go to way dorm where they are just stacking people up like a mental house in there. for real >> i cannot people for not wanting to go into a shelter. i is their decision. >> reporter: others are honest that it is their addiction that keeps bringing them back to the streets. >> it is very weird because i'm not used to this. it is like, i want to be somewhere where i am comfortable. >> you split time between your place inside and outside? >> right. >> reporter: the result has bee a kind of turn as the tents tha line the sidewalks are occupied by people who have been provide some kind of shelter or housing

>> the biggest thing that we struggle with are people who have somewhere to be, whether they are permanently housed, sheltered and they come back ou here and they set up tents and don't clean up after themselves and block the sidewalk. >> reporter: the frustration with all of this was on full display at the courthouse . som of those who showed up were the residents and business owners w have heard from over the past eight months. people frustrated with the stalemate that means little to nothing can be done, even in the worst of circumstances. >> people are starting to feel like, wait a second. we cannot intervene when there are fires being started right underneath our house? >> there is another hearing about the injunction set for tomorrow but it could be months until we see a final ruling. some disturbing news coming

out of southern california righ now. a mass shooting at a popular biker bar in orange county. three people and the shooter are dead and five more rushed to the hospital. michell is in two canyon where she learned that a biker is responsible. >> reporter: they were outside at cook's corner when a series of gunshots were heard. the friend said he thought he had tripped but he found out that h was one of the four who have died. officials at nearby mission hospital confirmed that they have the six patients who were injured and survived. some of them were shot and two were listed in critical condition. four are stable. my source tell me that this began as a domesti dispute. the shooter is a forme law-enforcement officer who onc worked for ventura police department. i am michelle julie in canyon. back to you.

>> the owner of cook's corner says they have experienced majo earthquakes, floods, fires and other disasters and will come out stronger after tonight. also new tonight, fitness enthusiasts who ran a gritty race in sonoma county have woke out in mysterious rashes. now the health department is lookin into it. the tough mutter race is an endurance race known for lot of mud and dirt but about 2 hours after this race multiple people broke out in pus -filled rashes. the health department says this could be anything fro swimmers it's to a staff infection, so they are telling people with these symptoms to g to the doctor or the e.r. tough mutter said they are aware that some participants had an advers medical reaction, adding that safety is the top priority. c waters used to love the san francisco bay but now they

are gone. some people say that if they would return their livelihoods would disappear. >> it would be a huge prize but a huge risk as well. >> why the otters could be a blow to a huge industry. there were enough people with enough energy for this to be mistaken for a line to get into a concert or club, but thi was at a furniture store. temperatures today were hot especially in length, but it wa the hottest day of the year in both san jose and downtown san francisco. got up to 86 degree in the city. certainly above normal. we will take a look at when we get back to normal august weather in our first alert forecast . wanted a fedex driver have to apologize for leaving a trai of blood along with a package h delivere

sea otters used to live in the san francisco bay generations ago. as kenny choi reports, not everyone is on board and one group says that i will actually hurt their industry that is already struggling. >> reporter: crab fishermen fee like they cannot catch a break, with empty nets because of shortened seasons. now a plan t reintroduce sea otters in san francisco bay worry fishermen. sea otters have a ravenous appetite for dungeness crab. >> there could be impacts to th fishery. >> reporter: along with eating crab, the critters are also goo for the shrinking kelp forests.

william carswell is a sea otter biologist with the u.s. fish an wildlife service. >> sea otters tend to promote the growth of kelp and these habitats provide food for hundreds upon hundreds of species. >> reporter: the otters have established themselves off the san mateo coast. human assistance in the san francisco bay could potentially connect the southern and northern populations in the pacific northwest. >> san francisco would be a hug prize but a huge risk as well. >> reporter: these impacts are weighing on the fishermen, who are seeing the local marketplac being hit by restrictions. the have been helping state and federal regulators come up with solutions. the reintroduction o a subspecies in the bay is wher he draws the line. >> my concern is the moral issu regarding whether it is right t do and whether it is something that is going to benefit the

animal itself. >> reporter: it is a risk that the crabbing industry cannot take, with another potential disruption to the livelihood of crew members and more. they believe that natural expansion is the best path. >> we believe that nature has its way and if they were meant to be here, again, they would migrate this direction, and i think they will in time. >> reporter: for now, they wait for what looks like a long road ahead. >> still, sea otters coming to san francisco bay could bring a huge benefit. they may impact climate change in a very surprising way. we have more on that story tomorrow at 7:00 p.m san francisco's hottest club is a furniture store. okay it is not a club, but the ikea grand opening did kind of look like a line outside of a club. this was the big deal on

mid-market today. this club has everything. swedish meatballs, furniture with vague instructions and a lot of cheering employees at the opening. the store on fifth and market opened with a bang and some people camped out just to be the first to get inside. >> i wanted to come early just to check it out and be the firs to arrive. i just wanted an early glimpse of it. >> if it feels store opening is kind of a big deal i is when you consider all the ones that are closing in the same area. at least 22 businesses have closed or said they will be closing in downtow san francisco this year. that includes nordstrom, anthropolog and office depot. in the middle of the celebrating inside ikea which you did not see, granted, there was some drama, too. at one point the store had to be evacuated. we are not exactly sure why, but we saw the alarms going off inside and staff escorting customers out. firefighters showed up, but there was no indication of any

major emergency. this is pretty creepy. hayward police seized some kind of weird and scary stuff during what was supposed to be just a traffic stop. they tried to pul a guy over for an equipment violation on his car but he too off. they caught up to him, looked in the car and found all this. multiple weapons, burglar tools, weed, a chucky mask. the arrested the driver on multipl charges including possession of dangerous weapons while on probation. today was the hottest day of the year in san francisco an a lot of people were trying to find shade where they could, which is not a normal thing to say when you are in san francisco ! you don't need shade, usually. >> we are getting to the time o year when we start to get these sunny days more often. that is usually when we get our warmest days and so far the warmest day is 86 degrees. we are doing oka compared to the past three summers where we already had temperatures into the 90s. >> but you know, no ac, sweatin it out. >> the humidity was noticeable earlier today but it will get better. more on that in a few

minutes. >> i made sure they put this in for you because it is hot out but if you ask starbucks it is fall already! the pumpkin spic latte comes back tomorrow. you can also get holiday drinks lik apple crisp, pumpkin cream. pau is going to be there for all of it! it is perfect when you get into a sweltering car. >> people drink that garbage cold, too! >> he is just not the holiday drink out of guy. >> it is august 23rd. it is 10 weeks until halloween. we are closer to father's day than we are to halloween. >> i am sure they will come out with a father's day drink at some point. >> just pump the brakes a littl bit on it. >> i think you can get behind whatever the alcoholic -- >> the pumpkin martini with pumpkin in it? hard pass! absolutely not. >> he has a lot of dietary restrictions! >> this is just preference-base . even pumpkin beer is an absolute no. let's take a look

at what is happening on this august, not october evening. we will see patchy fog tonight but it is very patchy. earlier the onshore breeze kicked in which means that it will not be as ho but still slightly above averag for thursday afternoon and back to normal for friday before a warming trend kicks in. you see the 10 day outlook for livermor with temperatures five degrees above normal tomorrow. exactly average on friday and then they climb back up with another one-day spike next wednesday before we retreat as we head into labor day weekend, believe it or not. that is right around the corner. labor day is the next holiday, not halloween. let's take a look at the humidity tracker which focuses on the next 48 hours. the mugginess is still noticeable, especially earlier in the day. that has retreated somewhat. it is going to drop more into the okay territory and then even comfortable humidity levels as the onshore breeze gets stronge by the end of the work weekend into the work weekend. hayes o

the horizon today and some of i was the humidity. some of it wa also wildfire smoke drifting down from the fires burning along the oregon border. we wil see some haze still on the horizon for the north and central bay and along the coast as well but good air quality will take over as we get freshe air blowing in. the bulk of the wildfire smoke is around the smith river complex and is blowing to the north for the next several days, but that fir is not under control whatsoever so if the winds shift and blow down the coast some of the smok will likely blow towards us eventually. at least it will no happen in the near term. right now looking outside, no fog visible at all from salesforce tower. temperatures are in the 70s across the board. even downtown san francisco still holding onto 71 degrees. we wil see some of the fog by tomorrow morning, mainly right along the coast with some of it sneaking in around the bay but it will b sparse . plenty of sunshine throughout the rest of the day

but the onshore breeze kicks in earlier and that keeps us from warming up too much. from a war start, temperatures in the 60s across the board early thursday morning. highs tomorrow still three to six degrees but back into the 70s instead of the 80s around the bay. temperatures inland are a mix of 80s and 90s with those numbers retreating a little bit more as we finish th work week on friday and then bounce back, but a nice weekend for the last weekend in august. low 70s in san francisco this weekend and mid-70s for oakland gradually warming up next week which sends us into the low 90s for the north bay valleys by monday, tuesday and wednesday. temperatures in the santa clara valley maybe not quite as warm but mid 80s by the middle of next week and the hotspots are inland and in the east bay but compare this forecast leading u to labor day weekend with what we had a year ago , when high temperatures over labor day weekend and for the inland spot were up to around 115 degrees. doesn't look like we will see anything close to that, so some good news even though temperatures will do the usual up-and-down thing. at least we are avoiding the extreme, extreme heat like we have seen so often the past few summers.

>> obviously we are grateful fo that, still, 85 in san francisc feels like 1000! thank you, paul. we appreciate it. tomorrow is known as america's sickest day of the year. the trend that might surprise you. matt? first things first, i am getting paul a pumpkin spice latte tomorrow. there was a little bit of drama in santa clara this afternoon. i break down the latest on the

baback in the e day, snsneaker dropops meant gettining online t to waitit in line.. now wiwith xfinityty mobile.. ...we get t the fastesest mobilele service and cacan get the e freshest kicks asasap. i got ththis. get ththe best pririce for 2 s of unlimitited when yoyou switch t to xfinity y mobiler $30 0 a line perer month. nicece job, littttle sis! ththey grow upup so fast.... i'm m a fan. frfrom xfinityty.

all right, matt. there is a reason we are doing the story together. tomorrow, august 24th is the national call out sick day. i know you are planning on a flu! for whatever reason, mor and more americans call out sic tomorrow than any other time o the year, and that includes, i should note, super bowl sunday and the day before valentine's day, which is apparently a thing. >> i would think super bowl

monday should be a national holiday. at least i think so. it's funny that you say that, because coincidentally there wa a player that called out sick today for the niners. this come one day after kyle shanahan sai that the team would use both sa darnold and trey lance as backu quarterbacks, but shanahan announced on wednesday that arnold will be the backup to brock purdy after shanahan told him he would give him the day off. shanahan explained the decision. >> they were neck and neck for long time, but we felt that sam started to separate himself. we gave him a big chance to win th two spot. in the long run, sam ended up winning it. once i kne that was the case, i wanted to make sure that i told trey as fast as i could. >> naming darnold the qb to certainly puts lance's future

with the team in doubt. shanaha has said he would like to keep lance on the roster but san francisco is reportedly exploring all options with lance. he did say he expects lance to play in the final preseason game on friday. the giants got a roller coaster win, 8-6 against philadelphia after blowing a 5- lead in the ninth. the biggest question is, is camilo doval okay? he has become the first giant to blow five straight sav opportunities. he was a previou completely different picture than the one who was selected t the all-star team. thankfully paul dejong saved the day, playing in his first game as a giant. he did not work out whe the cardinals traded him to toronto at the deadline, but this is a guy capable of hittin 30 home runs in a season and ca have serious pop when he is hot the giants offense has been brutal and he could be the spar

they needed after his four-rbi day. breaking news. the angels announced tonight that may be the best player in baseball, shohei ohtani, has a torn elbow ligament and will not pitch for the rest of the season. the sam injury suffered by brock 30. ohtani can continue to hit unless he needs surgery, which the team does not know yet if h will need. ohtani is of course set to be a free agent after th season, and sara, we are talking about one of, if not definitely the largest contract in baseball history now up in the air. >> i know, we have to see what happens. we wish him the best. not a good situation. all right well matt, i know you are new t the bay area. i am a san francisco state alum. if you know anything about sf state sports, the mascot for san francisco state is an alligator which i did not even realize what the name was! the gator has been purple for 92 years,

but after visiting the dentist and going away for a spot treatment, the gator is now green and has bigger eyes and a whiter smile and i guess the teeth are more robust. so if yo cover any sports at san francisco state , you have a ne and improved -- you are right. all right, thank you, matt. this fedex driver dropped off a package like he was supposed to, but not without

hehe snores lilike an a angry rhinono. you've nevever heard an angryry rhino. baby i i hear onee every y night. every ninight. okay.. i'll w work on thahat. sasave 50% on n the sleep p n® limited d edition smsmart be. plusus, 60-monthth financing on allll smart bededs. shop n now only atat sleep p number®..

having worked in news in l.a. i can tell you there are a lot of pursuits, all day, every day. but this one was weird because it involved a very, ver expensive car. take a look at this. this was a rolls-royce phantom speeding through l.a. traffic. it costs nearly half $ million. as you can probably guess it was not the owner driving the car. someone had

stolen it. police could only chase it from the air because o so much traffic. that is anothe l.a. staple. at one point they lost sight of it but the chase eventually ended when the car pulled into a parking garage. >> it is like a video game! >> yeah, it does -- yeah. that is an l.a. thing for sure. finally tonight an fedex driver in nebraska did a little bit more than a simple package drop off. he went to a battle t the death after he saw this at the front door. exactly! he sa a rattlesnake at the front door and since nobody was home he went to the homeowner's garage and came back with a rake and a spade. he took the snake aroun the corner and finished it off. he said he did not really take joy in it. he ended up buying a snake grabber on ebay so that h can remove a snake without hurting it in case this happens

again. he also sent this text t the homeowner that said i hope you did not have a pet rattlesnake at your front door, because i killed it. matt with fedex. sorry about the blood. the homeowner, by the way, was grateful, even though this is sad and a little gory, because she was worried about what could've happened. >> it is like hey, there is a snake and people should not be there. >> i know this may be upsetting for some people. >> why is he socon? why do we keep running >> recently on an interview on infowars, kanye west spouted hateful hitler-loving anti-semitism. this following his dinner with former president trump and white supremacist nick fuentes. both trump and kanye had their twitter accounts reactivated when elon musk took over.
