the peace corp. in north africa. degrees from uc berkeley and uc hastings law school. chris' parents and his stepfather met privately with the president when chris' body was returned to american soil. they told me their son was not a fearful person, he knew the dangers of the job. >> he was cremated and i brought him back with me. >> reporter: to continue to build bridges between the united states and the mideast. >> then chris' death will have had additional meaning. >> reporter: today they said they want everyone to remember their son, a great american that died trying to make america a better place.

now chris steven's brother and two sisters have just speaking inside the rotunda here and will be back in a few moments to let you hear what he had to say. rita williams, ktvu news. we are monitoring that memorial service and will hear from george schultz and we'll bring you his report in the next half hour. we're following news from san francisco bay. that's where crews are scrambling to save an oracle vessel that capsized in the last hour. >> no time is a good time for a boat crash. let's look outside of golden gate. sailors know this area as a potato patch. i spoke to an oracle team member who told me that all 12 crew members appear to have

gotten off safely. no one reported hurt. the 72-footer is seriously damaged. it's only been sailing about eight days it's 131-foot wing is shattered. now the boat capsized just inside the golden gate but was swept out on winds 15 to 25 miles per hour and for almost 90 minutes crews frantically trying to save the carbon fiber racing yacht. this is one of two identical boats for team oracle. the crash could not have come at the worse time. the ebtide going out at three knots, peaked at five knots this afternoon. there won't be a flood tide coming back in the gate until after sun down. the oracle spokesperson declined to estimate the damage but as you see there it looks pretty serious. we just spoke to a spokesperson and they said the boat is not causing any danger at this moment but they do have a boat on scene. take a look at this picture, we

just got this full screen photo from the rescue crews. oracle tell us they plan to provide us with video taken during the crash. there's a snip with that. we'll check in now with bill martin who will let us know what the conditions were like when this happened. >> reporter: john we were talking about it in the newsroom just a few moments ago. they are in a nasty spot. the tide is flying out of the gate. it went from a 6-foot tide it's going down to a minus .8. see that brown water around the boat, that's sediment being pulled out of the bay as the outgoing tide very strong right now. they're also in a situation where there's some pretty good sized swells. we have a little bit of south swell and knot swell. some of those swells are a good

10-foot. the beaches are showing up a little bigger than that but it's a large swell. you have winds coming at 29 miles per hour. you have an outgoing current flying out the gate. those two meet right in the potato patch right where they are. right in this area. and you've got some very choppy water. right where the boat is we watched it flow half hour had moved another mile. it's really going outside the gate. it's getting dark soon. that's something they worried about. winds are gusting to 30 miles per hour. a very spectacular scene going on outside the bridge. they're basically in the potato patch if you're a sailor or fishermen you know that's the worse places to be in a boat this time of day and with a swell like this and this kind of wind. but when you have a capsized boat it's a whole other thing. we're all over this story. westerly be watching it for you. we also have crews headed to half-moon bay where the coast guard has located a plane involved in a fatal crash.

rescue crews have been searching for that wreckage since last night. they found the wreckage this afternoon. the san mateo sheriff says the pilot was killed in the crash. the search began when haden's wife failed to check in monday night on his way to florida. again crews have found the plane at this point we're still working to bring you more details from the scene. oakland mayor jean quan responded today to a negative report on police reforms. the department has fallen behind in the implementation of a monitoring system. it's a result of a 12-year-old civil rights lawsuit involving four officer s who were known as the rioters. mayor quan said i am confident that by the end of the year we will be in compliance with the majority of the outstanding tasks. the morgan hill mother accused of leaving her mother

international airport headed for st. louis. aboard that plane was giant's second baseman marco scutero who was involved in the play that everybody is still talking about today. here's the play bochy said was an illegal play that left scutero with an injured hip. >> i really think they got away with an ill lead slide there. that rule was changed a while back and he really didn't hit dirt until he was past the bag. marco was behind the bag and got smoked. >> reporter: despite going down. scutero stayed in for four more innings and got a key play in the eighth. scutero will be available for tomorrow. today the play dominated the talk on sports radio. >> he just did something that was reckless, it should have been runners interference. the only man who made a mistake was the umpire. >> reporter: bruce says he

doesn't think the giants will retaliate in any way for the slide. chalking it up to october november. >> i don't think anybody walked away saying, that guy needs one in the rib cage. >> reporter: this long time giant's fan agrees. >> i think it was late but probably legal. i didn't like it but that's hard baseball. >> game three is scheduled for tomorrow in st. louis. note the start time, first pitch the slated for 1:00 p.m. we will bring you that game live here on ktvu with ktvu news following immediately after the game. super bowl 50 could be held right here in the bay area at the 49ers new stadium that's being built in santa clara. today the nfl announced that san francisco and miami are the finalists competing to host the coveted super bowl. and whichever city doesn't win the bid will go up against houston to host super bowl li

ll need to d1 plus the area code plus the phone number for all calls. o.k., but what if i have an 408 number and i'm calling a 408 number? you'll still need to dial 1 plus the area code plus the phone number. so when in doubt, dial it out!

ñçbñ (car horn) paying with your smartphone instead of cash... (phone rings) that's a step forward. with chase quickpay, you can send money directly to anyone's checking account. i guess he's a kicker... again, again! oh, no you don't! take a step forward and chase what matters.

he's being called evil elmo. it's a guy dressed up as elmo walking around cursing. it started in new york but it now appears he's made his way into the bay area. >> it seems pretty likely the so called evil elmo might be one in the same. evil elmo is a character spewing obscenities. sunday he hit the richmond district. >> kids are just lured in and tricked and the parents follow the children and then there's the onslaught of obscenities which i think is terrible. >> the thought that somebody could be using something so innocent and also having such kind of a devious idea to do that. i mean it's gross. >> there's no place for it any where but certainly not in a park with children. >> reporter: when do evil elmo's free speech rights begin to cross into other people's rights including the folks who

own the right to tickle me elmo. >> this is something companies will tell you they need to deal with in some way or the other. >> reporter: intellectual property attorney, says evil elmo could be courting a lawsuit. - - >> when you use it to boot strap your own idea, that's when you can get into some trouble. >> reporter: some parents showed us this rental car that evil elmo has been sleeping in. we found an elmo posing for pictures for a buck, he denied being the elmo and he told us this. >> i think that people are harassing him because they don't like the trademarks. >> i don't know what the free speech rights are. i don't know what they can do. >> the guy is not in the right mind to be doing that. >> i think the guy is sick, i

hope they catch him. >> reporter: both evil elmos were wearing the same straps on their chests. it's a forum to help people with their resumes and interviewing skills and to get them face to face with prospective employers. some say it's especially good for college grads. one of the recruiters say the very same job fair helped jump start her career. >> when i came here first i was a little bit nervous. i didn't know what to expect. i had targeted a couple of companies to talk to. but everyone here was very welcoming and i actually ended up getting a position from a company i wasn't even planning on speaking to. >> congresswoman spiers says the job fair went well and

joblessness climbed this month. although the gain is only one point in the national association of home builders sentiment index it is the sixth straight monthly increase. on wall street today the stock market finished strong closing with its biggest game in a month. the dow added 128 points t nasdaq was up 37. and the s & p500 gained nearly 15. california's aggressive attempt to regulate greenhouse gas emissions faces a smoggy future. the ninth circuit court of appeals may be siding with the school district. california's rules go too far discriminating against midwestern fuel producers and violating the commerce clause. let's talk about our weather. almost starting to feel like summer again. >> really flipped around the

last couple of days. temperatures increased the last few day and they're going to continue to increase. the winds will come up a little bit as well but not today. not too bad on the winds. wind on shore and keeping things kind of moist in the area. the fog along the coast kept things moist as well. take a peak here and you can see this was about a couple of hours ago you see the fog at the beach. let me move it forward in time and you will see i will just kick it forward here and you will see that the fog goes away. that's where we are right now. we have fog away, winds gusting to 25 miles per hour. it's windy out there. the current temperatures 85 in santa rosa, 87 in fairfield. tomorrow is going to be warmer than this. as we go into the next couple of days further warming so that sort of increases the fire danger. air quality is going to be okay but it's going to be in there. overnight lows tonight. they're going to be in the 40s and 50s. mid-50s. 53 in napa. you get outside of santa rosa

by forestville, you will get you upper 40s. forecast highs tomorrow like i said are going to be warmer than they were today because of this high pressure center. it's building in which it does a lot this time of year. this is not unusual weather at all. actually kind of classic weather. they'll get funneling through the hills we're not expecting real strong gusty winds but when the air gets pushed down it warms. when air rises the air expands and it cools, expansion against cooling: when things compress and the air compresses down like it does here temperatures actually increase 5 degrees per thousand feet. so it actually warms up significantly. sea level locations like san francisco and oakland the next couple of days are going to be seeing temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. so areas in the peninsula maybe warmer in the inland valleys. i'll have the details back here at 5:45. we'll go to all the cities in the bay area.

as many as over 50 of them. we will lay down the temperature for you in the five day view. today in yosemite, hundreds of car employees undergo testing for hanta virus. we'll tell you what scientists hope to find out hire about this potentially deadly disease. >> and we are monitoring a memorial service for chris stevens this is a live look inside that service at city hall. we will have more on what's taking place coming up in just 13 minutes. restores what we've lost... music and science labs. and your school. can get a world-class education. and sacramento can't touch it. me?

the sky's my limit. with over 200 varieties, keurig makes brewing a delicious cup of coffee simple. how does it brew such great coffee?

well... inside the brewer are these green fields of coffee, and if you travel up this mountain, there's this huge coffee grinder. and then the coffee lands in this cup and water rushes through. actually, i just press this button. brew what you love, simply. keurig.

starting today hundreds of workers in yosemite national park were tested for the potentially deadly hanta virus. david stevenson says they hope this will help them answer other questions about the disease as well -- robert handa says they hope this will help them answer other questions about the disease as well. >> reporter: they hope it will answer questions about the outbreak but also clear up mysteries of the disease itself. while yosemite national park still has spectacular views, right now not so many visitors. so the drop off provides a window to test employees for hanta virus. spread by exposure to droppings from rodents in this case deer mice. five confirmed cases including two deaths were traced to yosemite tents this summer.

>> i think it has potentially a lot to do with how little we know about the disease. it's a fairly new disease to science. >> reporter: starting today hundredsover yosemite's workers are voluntarily undergoing blood tests to help the department of health to learn how many had been infected throughout the years without knowing them since symptoms are often mild. from a questionnaire try to find out how they were exposed to determine prevention methods. it is a rare opportunity to study a cluster of cases. >> this is also an unusual outbreak. the largest one that's happened to date and these employees live and work in the valley all season. >> reporter: officials point out the incubation period for the latest outbreak passed about a week ago with no new cases or deaths reported. that made some workers who volunteered today more at ease. >> we're not really testing for any current cases, so i think that it's mostly in the past nothing really to be alarmed about and it would just be a source of satisfying my curiosity more than anything.

testing will wrap up tomorrow. the analysis will take several months. live in yosemite, robert handa, ktvu channel 2 news. a federal appears court is considering whether marijuana should be reclassified. today a lawyer for medical marijuana backers asked a three judge panel to order the drug enforcement administration to reconsider its decision to keep marijuana a scheduled one narcotic. the lawyer argued the d.a. ignored research showing marijuana has legitimate limited uses. last year the da re re -- rejected the classification. >> we're in san mateo in a debate watching party. many hope to hear from the president tonight. we're also live at a gop party here in the bay area, what his supporters say is --

what mitt romney supporters say will be his biggest challenge.

how you doing? alright, alright. now this is a party. what is that? go, go, go. mmm. give me some of that sauce. i don't know, i think i might bail. yeah, it's pretty dead.

debate. and several people we talked to said they hope the president will dish it out this evening. demetria rogers will take a break from the phone campaigning to watch president obama in the debate. >> i watched the president kind of come back to life a little bit after a couple of weeks ago and really just talk more about some of the things that have been cede that maybe aren't exactly close to the truth. >> reporter: but that next shot to make an impression will not come again. and tonight's debate is a town hall forum. >> i don't think it necessarily lends itself to quote unquote attacking but i don't think that's necessarily what he needs to do any way. >> reporter: everybody here wants the president to

highlight his accomplishments. they think this town hall format will serve him well. >> i think talking with the audience, i think he'll be more successful. >> reporter: this format could be very different. the campaigns will not know which questions from those audience members will be selected so we certainly could see some surprises. we'll see some reaction from folks down here at the democratic headquarters right after the debate. in belmont, ken pritchett. >> as we are just minutes away from the presidential debate. many republicans are hoping for a repeat of the first debate. cara lui is live where a watch party is just getting started. >> reporter: about 60 to 70 people expected to watch the

debate here. volunteers and candidates brought signs for today's debate watching party. fliers and cardboard cut outs of the candidate were plentiful. >> i think the expectation gain might be the biggest challenge because romney did do well and obama seemed disinterested. we will see a more interested obama. >> as for questions over how well romney connects with the struggles of average americans. >> what he needs to do tonight to reenforce that is tell more real life stories of people he's met along the way. if he weaves his stories into those responses he'll be just fine with voters. >> reporter: he expects the biggest issues to be jobs and the economy. >> the winner of the presidency is a person that convinces them to have a plan going forward. >> reporter: the town hall style format does differ from the first debate.

the state chair says he does not think that gives either side a clear advantage. of course we will be here at the contra costa the debate watch. >> you can watch tonight's debate live right here on k tvu.com. members of the armed forces are donating more money to president obama than governor romney. that is despite polls that show romney has more support from service members. the u.s. supreme court ruled today that everyone will be included in ohio's early voting. the state of ohio wanted to restrict early voting the weekend before the november 6th presidential election to only

military members and their families. the obama campaign fought against that restriction saying it could unfairly affect low income and minority voters. more now on the memorial service that's underway for ambassador chris stevens the bay area man who was killed at the u.s. consulate in benghazi. he is being remembered for much more than his work as adiplomat. >> reporter: chris steven's parents told me they wanted today to be a celebration of his life not how he died. and that's what we've been hearing now inside san francisco's city hall rotunda for the past hour. the well known and powerful those who only admired him from afar and those who knew him the longest and best. about 1,000 people have crowded

to san francisco's city hall to honor his memory. we heard from classmates at uc berkeley and uc hastings law school and from his brother who's a district u.s. attorney and his sister who's a doctor in seattle and a half sister who's in medical school and what they said brought laughter and tears. >> it's not important who your mother is only. i'm not just important who your father is but it's very important who your big brother is. and we had the very best. >> reporter: what would the world be like if only a fraction of its people had the mind set and acted in the way that he did? stay positive, be humble, do it right. and he definitely did it right. >> as our father said best, at 5:00 a.m. on september 12, he made it to the top, he tried his best. he was a great brother.

mountain view next hour. the city council will appeal to allow the company to build the restaurant. the atlanta based food chain is a source of controversy because of the owner's support of anti gay groups and his outspoken opposition to same-sex marriage and some mountain view residents are opposed to traffic, air pollution and noise that they say would come with the restaurant's drive through service. an east bay elected official convicted of embezzlement. so why are residents saying he's finally done the right thing. the fog has cleared from the coast but the winds are turning around and it's going to get pretty hot around here. i will let you know how hot it will get and when we'll see 90s in the bay area.
