we have two vehicles that are traveling at high speeds and opposing directions, that impact is greater than a vehicle traveling and hitting a stationary object. try to maintain a high visual horizon as much as you can right. >> officer lee also says that they don't know yet if the driver was under the influence and influence, or even had a medical emergency, but they should be able to release more information about the victims and their families have been notified. betty, an incredibly tragic story. >> lamonica peters reporting live in san jose tonight. well san jose police have made an arrest in a homicide at a homeless encampment. 39 year old jesus casas was taken into custody. he's been booked into the santa clara county jail on suspicion of murder. his arrest comes a week after the burned body of a woman was discovered in the encampment on roberts avenue, not far from san jose's happy hollow park, and zoo. a person looking for a missing

the facts, so before you start complaining, find out what was going on. >> larry goodman is a retired alameda county judge and licensed merchant mariner who once piloted an alameda county sheriff's boat. >> there's nothing nefarious about the fact that the patrol boat is over at sam's with some civilians on it. >> goodman says there could be many innocent explanations for what happened. >> it could be a public relations trip. it could be just like a police ride along where they just take people from the public and give them a tour, show them the boat. >> the unit has also investigated break ins on boats and along oakland's embarcadero. but goodman says local police boats have jurisdiction across the entire bay and have helped out for rescues and security at fleet week. >> so they're not limited to the, you know, the i guess it would be the east side of the estuary on the oakland side of that part of the of the bay. >> reaction on both sides of the bay was just about the same. >> i think there's too much unanswered questions to really say. you know, normally i think it wouldn't be an issue, but

it's hard not knowing the full situation. >> and context. >> oakland police boats have previously been seen here in tiburon. it remains to be seen if the latest trip was a pleasure cruise of some kind, or a legitimate outing in tiburon. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. well, a new video tonight showing the moment a group of suspects ransacked the medicine shoppe pharmacy in orinda. >> as you can see, four burglars broke into the shop. the owner tells ktvu this happened four times since april. it's unclear if it's the same group of suspects each time. the owner says $40,000 in opioids and adhd medicine, as well as the business's safe, were stolen. orinda police and the contra costa sheriff's department are investigating. >> frustration in the city of san jose. coming up, two parents demanding answers after their young son walked away from his tutoring center and was then hit by a car. >> after a pretty cool weekend, temperatures around here have

it requires a lot of medication. what medicines does he need today? >> did he get his right medicine? are you in pain today? does it hurt? what hurts? let me know. thinking in the back of my mind. do i have to call the doctor? >> doctors say he could be running by the end of the year. bastian's room is filled with handwritten cards featuring pokemon hearts and get well soon. notes a reminder that he has never been in this battle alone. he's a little bit stubborn, but he's very resilient and he insists every morning i am not going to sit in my wheelchair. >> you can push it next to me, but i'll hold your hand and i will walk through the gates. >> now, we did reach out to san jose pd in order to get an update on the status. the status of their investigation. now, they say they did not have a detective, a detective available to speak with us this evening. we also reached out to kumon for a statement and they did not

have one to offer. betty. >> and we certainly wish bastian the best in his recovery ahead. tori gaines, live in san jose. thank you. well, san jose state university says a student was found dead in a dorm room over the weekend. the student just moved into spartan village, which is the building that was recently converted from the former fairmont hotel into a dormitory. san jose state said in a statement that this was an isolated incident and that the cause of death is under investigation. >> a man has been arrested on arson charges in connection with the thompson fire near oroville last month. 26 year old spencer grant anderson was arraigned today and is being held without bail in the butte county jail. prosecutors say anderson admitted to buying fireworks from a stand in oroville on july 2nd, and tested one by throwing it out his car window. anderson could face more than 21 years in prison if convicted on all charges. the thompson fire did destroy 13 homes and burn more than 3700 acres in butte county.

>> okay, temperatures the last few days have warmed up over the weekend. it was cool. we had all that rain up north. we had some scattered showers here on saturday, a little bit into saturday night and mount shasta got over a foot of snow. lake tahoe got some snow. the marine inversion was lifted and temperatures were on the cool side. that's changing up this week as high pressure builds in. it already has. it started on sunday. it's increased today in terms of the compression shallow marine layer, higher temperatures. so temperatures today warmed another 4 or 5 degrees. this pattern this high pressure building inversion shallowing event will continue into tomorrow and hang on through wednesday and thursday. so tomorrow will probably be one of the warmer days. this is the highs from today. tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week most likely. and you can add like fairfield, add four degrees to these numbers. so it's going to be a bit warmer and then we flatten out wednesday thursday kind of low 90s. and then bam the trough comes back in just like last weekend. not quite as

strong as last weekend but just like last weekend. so we're going to cool off as we go into saturday and sunday and monday and tuesday of next week, we'll have that full forecast. we'll time it out for you. we look at one of the models to. i'll see you back here. >> all right bill. thank you. new at ten. a federal judge in texas today ordered a temporary pause on a biden administration program offering legal status to spouses of u.s. citizens. this comes after 16 different states challenged the program. now, the white house said this new policy is designed to keep parents and children together, allowing undocumented spouses who meet criteria to stay in the u.s. while applying for a green card before the process could include a years long wait. outside of the u.s, the program affects half a million spouses living in the united states. the court order, which lasts for two weeks but could be extended, comes one week after the department of homeland security began accepting applications. >> today marks three years since 13 u.s. service members were killed in kabul during the u.s. exit from afghanistan.

republican presidential nominee donald trump participated in a wreath laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery. the attack outside the airport in kabul, carried out by a lone suicide bomber with ties to the terror group isis k, also killed 170 afghans and injured 18 other americans. u.s. soldiers were racing to evacuate americans and afghan allies as the taliban quickly regained control of the country. shannon chapel is the mother of lance corporal kareem bqe, who was killed in the attack. >> kareem was doing his job. he was wanting to help people get to freedom, get to safety. >> a review of the abbey gate attack, conducted this year by u.s. central command, found the bombing was, quote, not preventable at the tactical level. but lawmakers say a lack of planning from the white house

fueled the chaos. house speaker mike johnson says in september, congress will award the service members families the congressional gold medal. today president biden, who did not attend the ceremony, released a statement listing the names of the 13 troops killed. writing in part, they embodied the very best of who we are as a nation. brave committed, selfless and we owe them and their families a sacred debt. we will never be able to fully repay, but we will never cease working to fulfill the state assembly expected to vote this week on a groundbreaking artificial intelligence bill, sb 1047 was authored by san francisco state senator scott wiener. >> he says the legislation will ensure the safe development of large scale ai systems. senator wiener held a virtual news conference today ahead of the assembly vote, and he says the bill establishes clear, predictable, common sense safety standards for developers. >> ai has the potential to make the world a better place. but as with any powerful technology, there are also risks, and we

should try to get ahead of those risks instead of playing catch up, which we have done all too often around technology. >> if the bill is passed by the assembly, it will return to the senate for approval. there is no word yet if governor newsom would sign it into law. elon musk showing his support for sb. 1047 on x0. this is a tough call and will make some people upset, but all things considered, i think california should probably pass the sb 1047 ai safety bill for over 20 years i have been an advocate for ai regulation. just as we regulate any product technology that is a potential risk to the public. >> coming up, a wellness check leads to an arrest in the east bay. the illegal weapons seized from a home. >> also calls for change after a man was shot and killed at a berkeley homeless shelter. why? the victim's mother is now blaming shelter management. >> also, an east bay firefighter caught on camera making racist remarks tonight. the man is on

needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses. they say the hardest part of getting something done let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent. lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales.

a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening. against south bay assembly member evan lowe. lowe is running for congress against former san jose mayor sam liccardo. in the complaint, former fec chair anne ravel alleges lowe used the email

server and contact list of a 501 c3 nonprofit without disclosing it as an in-kind contribution. ravel told san jose spotlight that she became aware of this issue through one of liccardo's staffers. we've reached out to liccardo, but have not yet heard back. in a statement, a spokesperson for the lowe campaign said sam liccardo is once again deploying his supporters to make false accusations against our campaign and distract his own shady conduct. this is simply a case of a volunteer working in their personal capacity, using the wrong hyperlink. the email list was purchased from the county registrar and reported by the campaign. >> former democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard has endorsed donald trump's presidential bid. the move furthers her shift away from the party she sought to represent in the 2020 presidential race. >> if you love our country as i do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, i invite you to join me in doing all that we

can to save our country and elect president donald j. trump and send him back to the white house to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people. thank you. >> gabbard appeared today with trump in the city of detroit. she represented hawaii in the house of representatives and left the democratic party two years ago. the harris walz ticket received the endorsem*nt of more than 200 republicans, all of them previously worked for either former presidents george h.w. bush, george w bush, the late senator john mccain, or senator mitt romney. the 238 signatures were on an open letter obtained by usa today. in it, the republicans acknowledged some ideological disagreements with the democratic ticket but say, quote, the alternative, however, is simply untenable. >> the justice department is pushing to reinstate its classified documents case against former president donald trump, special counsel jack smith and his legal team are urging a federal appeals court to overrule last month's

decision by judge aileen cannon. cannon who is a trump appointed judge, sided with the defense's claim that smith was illegally appointed by the doj. prosecutors say that decision contradicts hundreds of rulings by other judges across the country. it's not clear how long it will take for the appeals court to make its own decision. >> the trump and harris campaigns once again at odds over next month's planned presidential debate. former president trump suggested he might back out of the scheduled abc news debate. vice president harris's campaign asked that both candidates microphones be live or hot throughout the full broadcast. that's a change from the rules. the biden campaign had agreed to. while trump did say today he doesn't care if his mic is muted or not, but he doesn't like that the harris camp is trying to change the rules that had already been agreed to. >> they want to make a change in the rules because she can't answer questions. >> that is absolutely our preference in this campaign to have live microphones. so that the american people can see both

candidates for who they are and hear everything that comes out of their mouths. >> the abc debate scheduled for september 10th, that is six days before early voting begins in pennsylvania, the first in the nation. >> meta ceo mark zuckerberg told members of congress that he will no longer be contributing to groups working to ensure access to elections. he and his wife gave nonprofits more than $400 million to help conduct elections during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. republicans criticized the donations as benefiting democratic areas. zuckerberg also said he will also push back on government pressure to censor content on meta platforms. in a letter to the house judiciary committee, zuckerberg wrote in 2021, senior officials from the biden administration, including the white house, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid 19 content. i believe the government pressure was wrong, and i regret that we were not more outspoken about it. we're ready to push back if something like this happens again.

overdose deaths, fueled by the use of fentanyl have really skyrocketed here in recent years. earlier this year, the city's department of public health launched an outreach program to help drug users on the street get access to prescriptions for addiction treatment, medication, peer educators, navigators meet with people on the street, ask them whether they are interested in receiving treatment and connecting them in that moment. >> in the evening to an addiction medicine specialist so that people can get medication and get other help. they need when they want it. >> doctor hilary coonan says since march, the program has facilitated more than 1000 telehealth visits for drug users, with many of them entering treatment. >> coming up, oakland's annual lgbtq plus festival is returning this year's theme, coming up, also a first in the nation in san francisco, the new garbage truck taking a trip into the

held in less than two weeks. this year's event, under the theme rooted in pride, will be

hydrogen. the hydrogen powers a battery that powers the truck. what that means is a quieter ride, and the only thing that comes out of the tailpipe is water vapor. recology ceo sal coniglio says the company is already pushing for a greener fleet, and this test is part of the push to get to a zero emissions fleet by 2042. >> typically today, our trucks are our diesel trucks where we're running renewable renewable diesel, which is a non-fossil fuel product, but there is some emissions. we're running compressed natural gas and lng, which those are all combustion engines. this is no combustion. >> the truck has already been rolling through the streets of san francisco's west side, collecting, recycling, compost and trash. recology says the company wants to see how it performs and how hydrogen powered trucks can be integrated into the fleet. each truck costs about $1 million, or double the cost of a standard truck. so at this time, there's no word on when recology could start buying them and having them out on the streets. pepe andrade has worked for recology for seven years and

has test driven the truck on his route. >> we've been test driving it for the last week on route, picking up garbage, picking up compost, picking up recycling. and it's outperformed some of the cng trucks that we have. the acceleration. it's quiet as you can tell it's on right now. >> drivers tell me that on a standard collection vehicle, they have to fill it up every day. they've been driving this one for three days, and it still has a quarter tank of hydrogen and a full battery. neighbors in the city's sunset district noticed something new about this truck, and when they learned that it was hydrogen powered, liked what they heard, or in this case, didn't hear. the environment is hugely important. >> it being quiet is like a nice now, but it being energy efficient is nice for the future. yeah. i mean, i haven't even heard about this project, so now i'm interested in going and reading more about it. >> well, this pilot program runs for another three and a half weeks here in the city. then this vehicle will be collecting refuse up and down the peninsula and other cities around california later this year. christien kafton, ktvu, fox two

news. >> train enthusiasts have a chance to own a piece of bay area railroad history. 20 gently used f 40 diesel locomotives are up for sale on caltrans online store. these locomotives were recently decommissioned after more than 40 years of service as the transit agency rolled out its new electric fleet. caltrans says they each weigh just about 135 tons. >> a lot of logistics to work out, you know, for anyone interested. i think the best thing to do is head over to caltrans store.com. you know, say you're interested, we'll be reaching out to you. and if we can find a way to make this work and get a locomotive on your front lawn, that's what we're going to do. >> caltrans says about 100 people have actually expressed interest so far. those locomotives officially go on sale in october. >> okay. the fog coming back in. it went away for a time this afternoon. came back, went away, came back. now it's very dense along the coast. and as you look at the sutro tower shot over san francisco, you can see the fog shallow, right? because it's

well below the camera on the tower. it's under 1000ft. so it's not going to get very far inland. and that's what the plan is this, this forecast for the next 24 to 36 hours is this compressed inversion, which is what we just showed you. that was it live. that's this is the actual dynamics of it. the high builds in and it presses down and that fog gets trapped right out at the coast, and you get temperatures inland that look like these pretty, pretty warm to hot. 94 in fairfield, 94 in antioch, 93 in vallejo, 94 in concord. those were the highs today. tomorrow is going to be a little more compression, just a touch more. and temperatures are going to go up a couple of degrees. so we'll be into the mid 90s, upper 90s, maybe a low 100 tomorrow. and then that's it. temperatures on wednesday kind of flatten out. cool a little bit thursday cool a little bit. and then friday, saturday and sunday cool a lot. so we're kind of doing a roller coaster. we get the heat which is happening now. and it's not an extreme heat event. it's not a super high fire danger. it's not record event, but it's heat.

and then we're going to dip out. you'll see in the five day forecast as we go into friday, saturday and sunday. so this low is what brought the rain and the cool weather really the last couple of weeks this high is now going to is now has been replacing itself which makes sense. the low comes in the low leaves, the high builds in the high leaves. the low builds in. and that's what's going to happen. it's progression will continue. so monday through wednesday this guy owns and then it moves out. and then another low moves in. and this low. this is on monday morning. but you can see the trough. this is the model. so i just wanted you to see what the computer model is saying for this later in the weekend and late early next week. we've got this trough that's the low. so it's just a progressive pattern. low came through over the weekend. cool high builds in now. warm low comes in later on this week and we go back to mild weather. not quite as cool or as certainly as wet as it was. there's a system up here and that's extratropical, so we're seeing

rain and even snow up in the areas up in northern canada or southern canada, pardon me. and then scattered showers in the cascades. forecast for tomorrow will be a lot like today, but warmer temperatures still pretty warm in fairfield right now. 80 degrees, seven degrees warmer than it was last night. at this time. so you might be noticing it with the air conditioners kicking on in the shallow inversion one more time. the forecast for the fog pretty light tomorrow morning, right along the coast. these are the forecast highs, which will be warmer than they were today. and then the five day forecast will creep it in here. and then watch sunday to cools off a little bit more. so temperatures trending down at the weekend. >> thank you bill. well one of the world's best known artists will no longer perform at next month's dreamforce in san francisco. elton john was slated to sing at the event's benefit concert, dream fest dreamforce. organizers announced the 77 year old will not be able to perform due to unforeseen circ*mstances. this would have been the rock and roll hall of fame artist's
