now at 11:00, vice president harris answering questions from a reporter for the first time as her party's presidential nominee. >> i believe that the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. >> and mixed reactions from bay area voters. >> i think harris did a great job. >> i thought they did fine. i think they can improve. then trying to fix problems in our own backyard, a look at san francisco's latest

strategies to combat the city's overdose crisis. and he's staying in the bay, after weeks of nail biting, the red and gold secured the signature of their star wide man, brandon aiyuk. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> good evening. i'm juliette goodrich in for sara tonight. just 67 days out from the election and exactly one week after officially accepting the democratic nomination for president vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz sat down tonight for their first interview on cnn. harris firing back when questioned about whether her stance on key issues have shifted. >> i have always believed -- and i have worked on it -- that the climate crisis is real. that value has not changed. my value on what we need to do to secure our border, that value

has not changed. >> one thing that was surprising is harris said she has never met former president trump face to face or ever really interacted with him and when asked about the attacks trump and his allies have used against her, including saying she only recently started identifying as a black woman, harris was quick to brush they away. >> same old tired playbook. next question, please. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> harris also gave us new details about the fateful moment that president biden told her he was dropping out. >> the phone rang. i asked him are you sure? and he said yes. he was very clear that he was going to support me. >> being from oakland, many bay area voters are very familiar with the vice president as she stands now and what she stands for. tonight a group gathered at manny's in the mission eager to listen not only to her agenda for the next four years, but also to see if she comes across as a credible leader. andrea nakano was there.

>> the environment >> reporter: a sitdown with presidential nominee kamala harris and her running mate tim walz in the first interview of this kind since the democratic ticket shake-up. they answered questions ranging from the economy to border security. their performance got some mixed reviews. >> i think harris did a great job. i think she was intelligent, highly informed, and she had command of the process. this was her first moment to do this. i think she really stepped forward in a presidential way. >> i perceived that it was a little bit of a new environment for the both of them, to be on national tv under the kind of spotlight and i perceived that they got looser and easier as the interview went on. >> reporter: most agree both harris and walz seemed to stick tightly to a script and their main goal was to send a simple message to the voters.

>> i think she framed this as a choice, you know. do we want her opponent, who is dragging us down and denigrating people, or do we want someone who is really trying to push forward and lift people up? >> reporter: at the end of the day, those in this room already know who they're voting for and have a fairly good idea how bidenomicss would transfer into a harris administration. with that said, ian foraker was more interested in performance over policy. >> i didn't look to this as an opportunity to learn something. i just wanted to see how they reacted in that high pressure kind of environment and i thought they did fine. i think they can improve. >> reporter: with just a little over two months to go until election day, they will have a lot of work to do to truly sway the undecided voters, but kamala harris with her bay area roots has many supporters here hoping to see her in the oval office. >> i think what she and particularly her running mate,

walz, are about is way beyond the san francisco bay area or california. i think they are fighting for the heart and soul of our country. >> her opponent, former president donald trump, held a rally in michigan tonight as he and his campaign try to rebound from a rough week after video taken of him at arlington national cemetery was posted online by members of his campaign team despite the cemetery's clear ban on any political activity on the grounds. so tonight he tried shifting the focus to policy, specifically women's health, as the gop continues to struggle with their support since the overturning of roe versus wade. >> i'm announcing today in a major statement that under the trump administration your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with ivf treatment,

fertilization for women. >> trump also appeared tonight in the battleground state of wisconsin at a town hall moderated by former democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard. he's scheduled to be back on the campaign trail tomorrow in another key battleground state, pennsylvania. cbs news bay area is your election headquarters. stay up to date with everything happening on the campaign, on our website, kpix.com, and streaming on the cbs news app. other news tonight, as we continue our series on the drug and overdose crisis in san francisco and what we can possibly learn from vancouver, british columbia, that city has been battling their own opioid epidemic longer than san francisco. they focused on things like opening safe consumption sites and providing a regulated supply of drugs for some users rather than the stuff they'd get on the streets that could have anything in it. as opposed to san francisco's hard-nosed law enforcement-based approach to the problem, but vancouver's

more holistic and treatment-based strategies have caused a lot of division and disagreement like what we saw here in san francisco during the brief period the linkage center was allowed to open in the tenderloin. it was originally announced as a connection point to services. critics say it ultimately became a de facto safe consumption site for users before mayor london breed decided to close it down. so we wanted to find out if they should be given another chance to help in the city's fight and what other resources the city is trying to get people linked up with to help. wilson walker reports. >> i didn't see no way out until they showed up. i didn't think i could do it by myself. i didn't care if i did it by myself. >> reporter: michael is talking about the help he has received from his psychiatric clinical pharmacist that's damian peterson who is making a house

call to deliver this medically-assisted drug treatment. michael says this has been a key part of his journey off the street into stability and working towards recovery. >> they help me taper that off and then kind of balance me out with the suboxone and whatnot and it's played a major, major benefit to my life. >> it's no way to do it on my own, but also the support like with it is very important. >> reporter: tiki is another patient and like many fentanyl users, she says she can't imagine escaping that drug without something like methadone to reduce the withdrawal symptoms and san francisco has been increasing efforts to take this kind of help directly to people instead of expecting them to visit a clinic whenever it is time for their medication. >> somebody has so many other things going on in life that's making it chaotic and unpredictable, it's really hard to focus on this goal of

making it to an appointment. >> reporter: after years of climbing overdose numbers in a city desperate for some good news, some is finally emerging. >> comparatively, we have 72 more people alive compared to last year. so i think it's real important to put the human face on that. >> reporter: city health officials say they aren't sure, why but overdose numbers are falling. deaths so far this year are down 15% from the same period last year. >> yeah. i think we can't point to any one specific thing, frankly, within the department or in the broader sense that we can say pinpoint this. this is the reason. >> because i want to make it easier, just as easy to get treatment as it is to go out there and buy dope. >> reporter: so what is san francisco's plan going forward? mayor london breed declined to be interviewed for this report. she has in the past supported some of what has been tried in vancouver,

namely, safe use sites. however -- >> we do have some concerns with state law that could lead to not only the arrest of people who are implementing safe consumption sites, but potentially the disbarment of lawyers in the city attorney's office. >> harm reduction which safe injection sites fall under can be a small part of the equation, but right now it's the central part of what we do, almost the only thing that we do as a city government, and the answer is it's failing. >> reporter: the drug crisis in its intersection with homelessness is, of course, a prominent topic in the race for mayor and there is one theme among the challengers. former mayor mark farrell is suggesting one giant emergency center. >> massive shelter capacity, one place where people can come, but have services connected with that. >> for me, a safe injection site, a safe consumption site around fentanyl, does not make sense at this point. >> reporter: daniel lurie has stressed building out more capacity, also.

>> what is on the table is making sure that we get people off the streets that are using and into care on demand or mandating treatment, which we are able to do now with s.b. 43, but we need to build the beds. >> look, there is no one right answer. harm reduction is part of the answer. abstinence is part of the answer. treatment is part of the answer. >> reporter: supervisor aaron peskin has suggested a regional approach with santa clara and alameda counties. >> and work jointly to stand up a facility to repurpose underutilized and unutilized state facilities that have been sitting around for years and stand those up as massive drug treatment centers. >> if we want to stop the overdose crisis, we got to get people off the streets and into places where they can have a medically trained professional. >> reporter: supervisor safii, an early advocate for social

housing, also points to the general need for more. >> we need sober living. we need to expand the number of mental health and drug treatment beds. >> reporter: so it's a universal call for more treatment capacity that will require resources and then there are the questions about how to best connect people to help and should more people be compelled into it? >> i wish i could sit down with him and say look man, go here, go here, go here. >> reporter: michael said his treatment has changed his life and as for how to get more people connected to that help, he says a lot of users just do not know where to start. >> i just wish they were educated more, you know, and there's some very intelligence people out there, but they don't know what to do. >> if you know anyone who is struggling with addiction, including yourself, you can call the national help line at 1-800-662-help. it is free. it is confidential and available 24/7. this is the volkswagen red

and gold report. >> it is the news the 49er fans and vern and myself have been waiting for. star receiver brandon aiyuk will remain in the red and gold. vern is here with all the details. >> it's over! it is over! say hello to a $30 million per year wide receiver, brandon aiyuk becoming that guy, agreeing to a deal that had been on the table since august 12th , a four-year contract extension worth $120 million with 76 million in guaranteed money. same deal, similar deal, as detroit's amon-ra st. brown, but he wanted above that $29 million number and he got it and that kept the team's best x receiver deep threat running routes in santa clara for five more years. the 26-year-old's first practice will be next tuesday, a day after labor day. so now got to get big number 71

on that team, trent williams, left tackle. he's missing. >> okay. >> the last domino that needs to fall. >> then we'll have the 53 intact. >> and later on i'll show you where brandon aiyuk was celebrating that news later on tonight, called a tease. protesters return to the uc berkeley campus calling out new restrictions put in place. >> that's violating rights of the students. >> what they are doing to try and avoid a similar situation to last year on other campuses around the country. another spectacular view of the sunset from our camera on top of mount diablo as the sun went down this evening and the fog bubbling across the bay in the distance, a beautiful glow to the sky, some haze on the horizon. we'll talk about starting a business is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant, that's a different story. with the chase ink card, we got up and running in no time. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the

at uc berkeley as the new school year gets going, the university is putting new protest policies into place to try to stop encampments like we saw all over the country last year which brought this group of protesters out today, most of them wearing masks in an act of defiance over another new restriction, banning students wearing masks during demonstrations. university leaders say students masking for medical reasons are free to wear them during any demonstrations, but anyone they think is trying to hide their identity can be punished by the school. >> they want to try to expose us to not only disciplinary actions by the university, but also to outside organizations who make it their m.o. to try to tank our careers. >> you're protesting to share your beliefs, not hide your face, hide your values. that's what i believe. >> university officials told us today that if students are

found violating the restrictions, they'll first receive a warning. if they continue, they'll be written up and have to go through a campus review process. across the bay in san francisco, after a summer of negotiating with pro palestinian student activists, san francisco state university agreed to divest from companies tied to weapons manufacturing for israel's military operations. >> we had some wins, but we like to say there's no victory in an ongoing genocide. there's a lot of work to do. i think it's been over ten months since the genocide began and the invasion of the west bank has begun, the worst since 2002. there's a lot of work to do here as students to create a larger movement. >> the student activists are planning a bay area convention for palestine on september 16th involving more community organizations and labor unions. let's get to our first alert weather, time for paul heggen to tell us what's in store for our weekend ahead. >> kind of more of what we had

today, pleasant weather in general. >> it was pleasant. >> noticeable breeze, more fog, but that's normal. bay area in late summer. our temperatures return to almost exactly normal today as the heat dome has been nudged farther away from us. that reduces the weight of the atmosphere and allows the marine layer to grow deeper, a stronger marine shore breeze to kick in. that little ripple in the atmosphere off the coast will remain in place and keep those factors working in our favor through the three-day holiday weekend. unfortunately, the flow of air around that is sending southeasterly winds in the midlevels of the atmosphere towards the bay area and that is picking up a little wildfire smoke from a fire burning in the southern sierra and sending that up in our direction. it's something called the coffeepot fire burning southeast of fresno. that plume of smoke produced the haze today on the horizon. the good news is we're seeing most of that smoke

remaining elevated in the atmosphere, not at ground level where we have to breathe it. another piece of good news, the winds will shift enough to keep the main plumes of smoke directed away from the bay area through the first day of the weekend at least. i don't think you'll see as much haze on the horizon over the next several days. let's look at what things look like outside now. salesforce tower looking pretty good seeing some haze and a little fog on the horizon. the fog will be more widespread later tonight. temperatures mostly dropping to the low to mid-60s, santa rosa down into the mid-50s, cooling off rapidly. your temperature topped out short of 80 degrees. let's look at where the fog is going to go later on tonight, bring our map up on the floor and track the fog as it spreads across the bay into the inland valleys, a good push across the bay through the rest of tonight and the presence of the fog for the first few hours of daylight slows down the rate at which we warm up. eventually the fog backs up towards the coast towards late morning and early

afternoon. temperatures tomorrow end up within 3 degrees on either side of what's normal for this time of year, which in the santa clara valley means 80s and some low 90s, about 3 degrees above normal in san jose with a high of 85. temperatures on the hot end of the spectrum, in the low 90s, around antioch and brentwood, fairfield, concord and livermore in the upper 80s, lower 80s for fremont, 85 degrees in redwood city, north bay mostly low to mid-80s with a few communities once again in the upper 70s. the near normal temperatures stick around through the three-day holiday weekend, but keep in mind september is a summertime month in the bay area. we are going to see temperatures spiking as we head into the abbreviated post labor day workweek, temperatures getting into the mid- to upper 70s in san francisco. some of the forecast model data says even the city gets close to 80 degrees. around san jose it will be back into the low to mid-90s tuesday through friday and then we slowly back down as we hit the first full weekend of september. the hottest spots

east of the oakland hills, back up to triple digit territory again. september may be meteorological autumn, but it's not going to feel like it really until we get deeper into september. enjoy the near normal temperatures for the bay area over the weekend, 80s inland and then getting up to triple digits or near triple digit temperatures tuesday, wednesday, thursday. around the bay from the 70s this weekend to the low to mid-80s tuesday, wednesday, thursday and for the coast temperatures will get into the 70s, which will feel kind of warm after a foggy, misty, drizzly kind of weekend along the coast. >> warming up a little bit. the. >> just enough. >> thank you. the oakland ballers want their fans to get involved at saturday's game and we mean really involved, how the crowd will get to take part in all the action. straight ahead in sports, steph curry got paid more than the entire oakland a's roster. and we're going to tell

parents of young children know the anxiety of taking them someplace where they aren't allowed to touch something or go somewhere and you know once you get there that's all they'll want to do, right? >> oh, yeah. >> that fear became a reality for a family visiting a museum in israel recently. take a look as a child, oops, accidentally knocked over this 3,500-year-old jar smashing it into pieces. the crockery dates back to somewhere between the 2200 and 1500 b.c.e. luckily, for the family the museum took the incident in stride. you think? >> wow. >> even inviting them back to see the jar after it had been restored. it's now even more of an artwork treasure. >> whoever the museum representative was probably had kids of their own like it's cool. we've been there. >> don't worry. that's all right. >> how many hours did it take to put it back? >> i think they're leaving it

there now as a famous piece of art now. >> that's old, 3,500 years. >> you'd think it would be kind of sectioned off maybe a little bit. >> maybe. >> or maybe don't take your kids to the museum. >> maybe the kid just ran right past the rope and had to touch it. >> that's what happened. oh, my goodness. good thing it wasn't the mona lisa. >> you can't get near that thing. >> no, you can't. i kept my kids back. i'm like stay away. bye. thanks for watching. is she smiling or frowning? >> smirking. >> that's it. >> former president barack obama's summer playlist is out, so he shared the songs he's been jamming to all summer long on instagram yesterday, like country singer shaboozey landing on the list with a bar song, "tipsy." that is the jam, though, right?
