shut down a plane's engine en route to sfo. and well they had almost everything for warriors fans. >> what do you think was missing tonight? >> a lot of open shots. san francisco's famous winding and steep streets have been a unique testing ground for driverless cruise cars. no shortage of video showing why they can be kind of controversial. the cars have been known to glitch out in challenging situations, cause backups, one even crashed into a fire truck with a passenger inside had. just a week after they were allowed to operate 24/7 across the city. opponents have been putting cones on the car's hoods to disable them to prove a point about their decision making skills. today though the robo taxis returned
11:02 pm
to the mothership, headquarters at least, after the dmv pulled the plugs on the fully robo taxi permits. it's because the dmv said the company obscured the full story about this crash that left a pedestrian pretty badly hurt. as our jocelyn moran reports, some people who come to rely on the robo taxis are worried about what happens next. >> there is no question there has been a lot of skepticism around driverless cars since the beginning. >> reporter: one woman has come to depend on them especially at night for her own peace of mind. >> honestly i'm really sad. i kind of like, you know, that was our thing. like we're going to do cruise tonight. >> reporter: she spends a lot of time in san francisco because many of her friends live here. she's been in driverless cars operated by cruise about nine different times, including nights with her friends and other nights where she would be in the car by herself. >> as a woman you feel
11:03 pm
completely safe. and you don't have to worry about where is this car going to take me? will i be followed after? and is someone going to call me after? or any kind of information that a possible driver could have. >> reporter: she says the rates are a bit higher than uber or lyft, but she hunt did mind it because she doesn't have to tip. an operator usually check hads in with her while she's in the car. on tuesday the company's car presents an unreasonable risk to public safety and cruise misrepresented safety information. one of the latest incidents happened downtown near market and fifth earlier this month. a person driving a regular car hit a woman walking, sending her into the path of the robo taxi. cruise in a statement said in part, "the av broke immediately before impact. when had they tried to pull it over, it continued to come to a fully
11:04 pm
stop, pulling the pedestrian forward. the dmv and order of suspension said it traveled approximately 20 feet to reach a speed of 7 miles per hour before coming to a subsequent and final stop. the pedestrian remained under the car. they say representatives met with chp and cruise representatives adding footage of the subsequent movement of the av to perform a pullover maneuver was not shown to the department and cruise did not disclose that any additional movement of the vehicle had occur f at the initial stop of the vehicle. the department requested cruise provide the additional footage, which they received october 13. we asked fabiola if she ever experienced unsafe while riding in a cruise car without a driver. >> there was not a time when i felt like i was going to crash into someone. maybe one time that it just stopped really hard, but we were wearing seat belts, and immediately the operator called in, so i was like okay, this is cool. this is great. >> reporter: the dmv said it gave cruise steps to apply for
11:05 pm
reinstatements, but no timeline for that suspension. >> so cruise is still allowed to test its robo taxis as long as there is a driver inside. and waymo still has the green light to test their driverless cars and in los angeles. a packed house at richmond city council meeting tonight as the city waited deep into the debate over the israel-hamas war. dozens showed up to speak for and against a city resolution, expressing solidarity with the palestinians if gaza, accusing israel of ethnic cleansing and war crimes. >> but the people of the united states whose government and tax dollars directly support israel's military have an immediate moral obligation to condemn israel's acts or collective punishment in a par tide state. >> and so that message from the mayor drew a mix of cheers and boos, followed by a screaming match in the crowd. after a brief recess, the council read off some amendments to the resolution including the call
11:06 pm
for the immediate release of israeli hostages taken by hamas, opposition to all existing future military aid to israel, and a mention of death tolls on both sides of the conflict, which been previously missing. >> i do feel for the palestinian people both in gaza and the west bank. i wish they weren't suffering. but i'm very distressed by the one sidedness of this original resolution. i think it's shameful that you had to have public feedback until you finally included the 1,200 people in israel who were butchered. >> i'm old enough to see in the history of israel more atrocities. but this is the first time that us, as americans, are asked to shut up and say nothing unless we're going to support israelis for killing countless of palestinian children. so thank you for being the voice of -- voiceless and powerful children
11:07 pm
of palestine. >> the council started taking public comment just before 8:00. at this hour, people are still lined up to speak before the council can actually take a vote. today israel rejected calls from the u.n. chief for a ceasefire. in fact israel's military says it launched more than 400 air strikes on targets in gaza over the past day. in response to increasing hamas rocket attacks on israel. today an 85-year-old israeli woman released by hamas described going through hell for more than two weeks as a hostage in gaza. her husband is believed to be among the more than 200 people still being held. >> my mom is saying that she was taken on the back of the motorbike. she was hit by sticks until they reached the tunnels. >> he also said the captors treated her well at many points. the defense forces dropped leaflets in gaza, offering cash rewards to
11:08 pm
palestinians who have any information about the hostages many of whom they have not heard from at all. at the same time the parents of the berkeley native who was hurt and kidnapped from a music festival in israel have finally seen some new video of what happened to him that day. two weeks ago, during an interview with hirsch goldberg's parents, anderson cooper realized that he had video of hirsch being led into a truck by hamas after his arm was blown off. >> who in the world could have imagined 16 days ago any parents saying thank god our child was captured by hamas with an arm blown off, taken into gaza, and that is good news. but we've taken some solace that that's good news. everywhere we have been looking for optimism. >> his parents do not know if 23-year-old hirsch is still alive. now to capitol hill where the fight to elect a new speaker of the house looks like it will go many, many rounds.
11:09 pm
house republicans selected not one, but two nominees back to back today. first it was minnesota congressman tom emmer this morning, but just four hours after being named after the nominee, his candidacy was dead. emmer dropped out of the running after former president donald trump posted on social media slamming emmer as a rhino or a republican in name only. >> i think the country is frustrated by it, the conference is frustrated by it. >> we are not functioning as a majority. when you lose that usability to govern. >> republicans wasted no time picking johnson as their fourth nominee, louisiana lawmaker survived a key follow-up vote tonight. >> democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system. this conference that you see, this house republican majority is united. >> the house has not had a speaker for three weeks now. congress can't act on much of anything until they do. the next vote is set for noon tomorrow. we will see what
11:10 pm
happens. a mushroom trip days without sleep, and thinking you are in a bad dream. the wild circumstances surrounding an attempted cockpit takeover. >> we've got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit. >> the crew that was operating this flight did an excellent job. >> court documents reveal more about a bay area pilot whose off-duty meltdown ended with dozens of attempted murder charges against him. later on the world series dance card is filled. later on in this show, the world series dance car is set. well back here at chase center, what to make of this edition of the golden state warriors. some bay area teams did win big. courtside seats were just the start. seeing some fog hanging out at the coast this tuesday morning. it made a break
11:11 pm
11:13 pm
11:14 pm
word tonight on whether anyone in that car or the restaurant was hurt as we asked exactly what happened here, but no word back. trying to bring down a san francisco plane got even stranger. he was apparently high on mushrooms when he tried to shut down the jet's engine. what might have been going through his mind. and behind glass. joseph emerson appeared in court today in oregon, facing 83 counts of attempted murder. investigators say he was trying to shut down engines. >> we got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit. he had not slept
11:15 pm
in 40 hours, battling depression, and had taken psychedelic mushrooms two days earlier. about half an hour into the flight, the pilots told investigators he threw off his headset and pulled red fire handles like these to cut off fuel to the engines. one of the pilots wrestled emerson away from the controls and told them to get out of the cockpit, but he did it because he thought he was dreaming. >> and fear went through our bodies. >> reporter: paul stevens was one of the 84 passengers on board. >> i have flown a lot in my life. i've been scared once before and yesterday was the second time. >> reporter: while in the back of the plane, emerson asked to be handcuffed, but then tried to it open an emergency exit door. some aviation experts credit the crew for acting quickly. >> the crew that was operating this flight did an excellent job being able to challenge him, get him away from the controls and to be able to get him to the back of the
11:16 pm
aircraft. >> he plead not guilty to all charges, but will stay behind bars for now. he showed no signs of visible impairment before boarding the flight on sunday. he had also passed all the faa medical tests during his 20-year career as a pilot including regular mental health screenings. okay, we are going to send things over to paul here to talk about our weather and the taste of fall here on the way. and i saw something tonight on the radar that you pointed out to me that looked pretty menacing. a major hurricane? >> yeah, there is a hurricane in the process of slamming into the coast of mexico. we will start the forecast with the weather that's happening hundreds of miles away from us with the track of hurricane otis. this is a well organized, dangerous category 5 hurricane with 165 miles an hour winds,
11:17 pm
slamming right into the coast of mexico and right into acapulco. this is going to bring catastrophic storm surge and coastal flooding and as it tracks inland and loses hurricane strength. this is going to be a very dangerous situation that is unfolding right now and continues over the next 24 plus hours. we're in for some changes as it is diving into the pacific northwest. also kicked in stronger onshore winds and will be reinforced by another cold air that will stick around into october. they are going to squeeze that atmosphere to some extent it. our rain chances tomorrow, 20% if you stretch the numbers. and not much to get excited about there. the extent of what we're looking at
11:18 pm
tomorrow will be a few sprinkles in the north bay. and it is going to kick in a stronger breeze especially midday into the afternoon where we are likely to see the 20, 25 miles an hour gusts, and that breeze will make cooler temperatures feel that much cooler and we'll be off to a cool start as well. these numbers are close to normal, but will end up below normal for tomorrow's highs. take a look at the forecast highs. good 5 degrees below average in san jose, topping out around 70 degrees in the santa clara valley, just short of 70 at los gatos. temperatures should reach the upper 60s to around 70 inland in the east bay. and think back it was just five days ago that those temperatures were well into the 90s. mid-60s for fremont, redwood city, only topping out
11:19 pm
in the upper 60s. low 60s for half moon bay. mid to upper 60s san francisco. that's just a few degrees below normal. coolest inlet spots in the north bay where the clouds will get there a little earlier. a better chance of those clouds using a couple of showers and your highs are only going to hit the upper half of the 60s as well. the cooler air will stick around. let's take a look at the seven-day forecast with the temperatures remaining below average. we won't bottom out until friday and saturday when temperatures inland, they are only going to be in the mid to upper 60s on the widespread basis. a slow return to near normal temperatures throughout much of next week including for halloween on tuesday. and yes, the trick or treat forecast, it does look dry. no, everybody is looking ahead to that weather and just to hand out candy or taking the munchins around as well. and it will be a cool several days ahead of us in the coastal temperatures. only reaching the upper 50s on friday. then back to the mid-60s on sunday, monday, tuesday with more of a mix of clouds and sunshine. we'll keep an eye on those minimal rain
11:20 pm
chances because they are not technically zero as we head through the next few days. >> did you say the yearly sugar run? i hate to break it to you, paul. more like days that ended in why. >> the yearly sanctioned sugar rush. how is that? >> that is more accurate. thank you. the warriors game did not quite end like the fans hoped. but a group of students did walk away from chase center tonight with a big win. and hey ahead, a national west team and the world series, oh yeah. it's a thing. and a look back at a furious second half rabit warriors on opening night.

we had to push the boundaries to not just create a car but a movement. every fisker ocean is produced with over 50 kilograms of ethically sourced, recycled materials. it's about accomplishing something bigger than itself. a clean future for all. and that is it, the suns come in to san francisco and knock off the warriors on opening night. >> the warriors will not be
11:24 pm
starting this season with an unbeaten streak. but a few missing points ahead, opening night had a little bit of everything. that included something really cool where it was a nail biter until the very end, but still they have high hopes for this season. it was a night of firsts. chris paul made his regular season debut in a dubs uniform. and kevin durant played for the first time before dub nation in the bay area since he left the franchise in 2019. the fans showed up in high spirits and high expectations. >> and i tried what this ride was like. >> it was a warrior ride, of course. you know, but we will come out on top.
11:25 pm
>> reporter: do you think it was entertaining even though they didn't win tonight? >> very entertaining and kept the crowd in it. >> reporter: kelvin alexander and his friend, ernest east have been going to games for four decades. how much were the games? >> $10. and like $23. $20. >> reporter: what year are we talking about? >> early 80s. >> before the game, the warriors, nike, and shoe palace teamed up with the boys and girls club of oakland to surprise lucky students with cp3, air jordan, and lowe's, which he debuted during the game. >> and it is super cool. i like the shoes, and i'm happy to be here. >> is this your first warriors game? >> yes, it is, i'm super excited. the kids were treated to the game. the limited edition
11:26 pm
shoes are called give them flowers. >> and how we started is from back in the day when my parents were back there. and that is who we were growing up. the students made bouquets of flowers to give to their mentors. >> i'm excited about being here. >> reporter: and e40 is among those ready for a championship run. the warriors ultimately fell to the suns 108-104. >> and just one out of many games. >> reporter: what are your hopes this season with new blood in the warriors mix? >> i see the potential. they are playing like young veterans. >> reporter: the chemistry they witnessed between the rookies and the vets on the court was promising. >> what do you think was
11:27 pm
missing tonight? >> a lot of open shots. and it's the beginning of the year. as the year goes on, those shots will start falling. hey, you know what, missing draymond is probably a good answer. and that is what the warriors needed tonight. but i see they kept that place open late for you, lee? >> reporter: when that happens, it is really going to be the struggle. you're the daughter of a basketball coach with a nice right-handed jumper, so you know about that. they've got to be streaky to get better. they need to get some rhythm. they will have to get it going before the sacramento kings friday up in sac town because they are laying away. but you know what, give the warriors credit for a little toughness, down 15 at half time. after being outscored 25-10. charles barkley on national tv said the warriors were cooked. but look at steph curry bringing them back. jonathan dominguez set up the
11:28 pm
clutch three ball. curry with 27, but the suns, they iced it with a bucket, a ball in the hands of devin booker. and the pick and roll for the dagger with 32 points for booker. 17 offensive rebounds that were heard back as they won it. now everyone went to see chris paul in his 34-minute regular season debut against his former team. in a third quarter to take the lead by six. back-to-back buckets gave them their first lead of the night. and paul came as averaged. >> and the way he controls that game to hit those shots when he needs them. he controlled the
11:29 pm
game for much of the action. and we were last in the league last year and chris will help in that regards. hey, before the game, a nice moment as kevin durant is a part of the warriors titles received a standing ovation since he left in 2019. now 10:30 tomorrow morning it will be special as bob melvin will be introduced as the next manager of the san francisco giants. melvin a bay area native will become the second to manage the a's and the giants. alvin dark was the first. and we will stick with baseball for this one because arizona diamondbacks at the phillies, nlcs game seven. here is the last of the phillies as j.k.'s pop fly fell into the bailiff of corbin carroll. the 27th and final out will break
11:30 pm
out the bubbly. the diamondbacks grab the nl and punched their tickets for the first time since 2001. and evan longoria will be on that team. they will be there for game one set for friday. for all the shouting of the power teams of the east, it's the american league west and two teams still standing to battle it out for the world series titles. >> we appreciate it and make sure they don't lock the doors on you as you need to get home. and an attorney who found herself on the winning side of the lawsuit was happy for her client until the settlement money showed up. why she views it as a legal fu coming up.

we know vern is held up somewhere in the chase center. >> he is inside one of those lounges, hoping they don't notice he's still there, so we need to close the show out with an attorney in colorado who is probably really happy to hear her client will be getting $23,000 settlement until the money showed up in the back of a truck. daniel beam says her client is a welder who did some work for the defendant who didn't pay him, so she sued. they agreed on the settlement, but never settled on how the defendant would pay, so they showed up with a flat bed truck, a forklift and 6,500 coins. >> at first i thought you got to be kidding me. and then we had to go through the logistics. i think it is just very petty. and in our pleadings we call it the defigurative middle finger. >> the payment was made in the current coin of the realm and is legal tender. the attorney did not accept the delivery and is trying to get a judge to order the company to pay with
