starts right now. >> taking money and making sense can what works best for businesses also work well for san francisco? so good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm dionne lim and i'm j.r stone. >> today in san francisco there was a small business week pop up shop at the salesforce transit center. more than 40 makers and artisans took part, joined by some food trucks, live jazz music and a dance performance. sf small business week runs through friday as a way for entrepreneurs to network and get a boost from the community. changing how businesses are taxed in san francisco could soon be up to the voters. >> a new proposal aims to place the measure on the november ballot. abc seven news reporter tim johns has been following this story and joins us live now with a look at how exactly this would work. hi, tim. >> hey jr dion. now these potential changes are really aimed at boosting small businesses here in the city. it's no secret that many of those places are still having a hard time recovering from the pandemic. and proponents of this

tax plan say it's a common sense way to give them the help they need. tax relief could soon be coming to thousands of businesses around san francisco. on monday, two business leaders submitted a proposed measure that would overhaul the city's tax system. lori thomas, the executive director of the golden gate restaurant association, was one of those people we know that any relief we can give, even if it's a couple thousand dollars a year to our small businesses, is a nod in the right direction. if passed by voters in november, the proposal would simplify the city's notoriously complex tax system. it would also allow small businesses with revenue under $5 million to be exempt from business taxes, up from the current level of 2 million. it's a move that proponents say would allow for more business expansion and hiring. >> almost 90% of our restaurants, 60% of our retail businesses would be completely exempt from our gross receipts tax at the palette tea house in ghirardelli square, owner dennis long says he supports the proposal. >> anything that can help small

businesses will definitely be welcomed, dennis says. >> after rising in 2021 and 2022, the palettes business actually started to decline again last year, a contrast to the other restaurant he owns in san mateo, where dennis says doing business is simpler. >> there's a lot of extra fees, and here and there, here and there in san francisco, that makes running a business more difficult or more challenging than in other cities in order to offset the costs of the proposed tax rates, thomas says rates would rise again in 2027, but she hopes a three year window would allow more small businesses to recover back to their pre-pandemic levels before absorbing the additional costs. >> if you didn't make some of these changes, you were going to lose that money anyway. employers might pull out, they might not bring people back to work. >> now, in order to get this proposal on the november ballot, supporters will need to get about 10,000 signatures on their petition in the studio. tim johns, abc seven news.

>> tim, thank you so much. boy. it was warm. it almost felt hot outside, but a bit windy as well. yeah we've got a twofer going on outside. >> sandhya patel is watching this situation for us and talking about how warm it will get, how windy it'll get. >> yeah, absolutely. so dion first let's talk about how warm it got today i mean everybody felt it j.r. you will notice temperatures in the 70s and 80s. it was 83 in santa rosa 81 in san jose 80 in oakland. that temperature in oakland is the warmest. they've seen since last october. 76 degrees in san francisco. still holding on to some of that warmth. many areas are still in the 70s. 79 in brentwood, in the north bay, we have some 80s showing up in places like sonoma 81, in mill valley. those gusty northeasterly winds still going right now, napa, 30 miles an hour. 31 in oakland, that downsloping wind is exactly why it warmed up. so we do have a wind advisory for the north bay mountains and for solano county until tomorrow morning at 8:00. gusts up to 45 miles an hour

will continue. and you can see as we go. hour by hour. the winds remain elevated as we head into the overnight hours. they drop off only to pick back up again early tomorrow morning. i'll show you exactly how much warmer it's going to get tomorrow. who who will hit their peak tomorrow and when we will see some 90 showing up. dion coming right back. >> sounds good. all right, sandhya, thank you. in the south bay, ten people are recovering after being exposed to carbon dioxide, a gas that can cause drowsiness or breathing problems. the exposure happened at sunrise middle school in san jose, where eight students and two teachers reported sudden breathing problems, along with coughing scratchy throats and itchy eyes. two students were taken to the hospital. the san jose fire department says its hazmat team found elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the air in a science lab, finding solutions to end homelessness is not easy, and it's not cheap, but san jose is committed with more than $100 million of the city's proposed budget to be spent on getting people housed.

>> abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how mayor matt mehan and the city want to use that money. >> no one in san jose, not the residents nor city leaders, wants anyone to be forced to live on the streets. and once again, the city council and mayor matt mehan are backing up that commitment. with more money to fight homelessness faster, cheaper solutions that are safe and managed. >> alternatives to encampments. we have to do that both because of budget constraints, daetz and to be responsive to the humanity and environmental crisis on our streets. >> $27 million of the proposed budget will go directly toward getting in compliance with the clean water act by relocating more than 1000 people living along city rivers and creeks, mehan says san jose can do this in order to avoid state fines by connecting unhoused residents with families in other cities and states through a homeward bound pilot program, expanding no return zones to permanently clean up certain encampments, and giving those people a place

to go with more tiny homes, safe parking and even safe sleeping sites. fast and cost friendly solutions to get people in managed environments, meaning there are some rules. >> there's some security, basic sanitation, access to case management. ideally and get people stabilized to pay for these solutions. >> the city is proposing to reallocate measure e funds earmarked for affordable housing. mehan suggested this last year as well, and it faced a lot of backlash because advocates like pastor scott wagers have learned people are more likely to stay off the streets if they have that sense of permanence in their lives. >> the emphasis has to be on long term housing, right? i know a lot of people on the streets that try to go into these tiny homes, and they end up back on the street for whatever reason. for some reason, when you get people a house of their own, not a house, but an apartment in a room, and that gives them autonomy and they feel freed up. >> mehan says the city is still building affordable housing, but faster solutions have to be the priority to be in compliance with the clean water act. but the ultimate long term goal for

mehan, as well as the advocates remain the same. getting the unhoused housed once again in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> moving to developing news. community groups are now calling for a federal investigation into alleged racism and islamophobia in berkeley unified schools. the civil rights complaint claims there is a hostile environment of anti-palestinian, anti-arab and islamic discrimination within the district. it all comes as a day after the u.s. education department announced an investigation into allegations of severe and persistent anti-semitism in the district. today on capitol hill, superintendent anika ford morthal acknowledged nine anti-semitic incidents but says the issue is not pervasive. >> when investigations show that an anti-semitic event has occurred, we take action to teach, correct and redirect our students. we do not publicly share our actions because student information is private and legally protected under federal and state law. as a result, some believe we do

nothing. this is not true. >> republican lawmakers pushed back, questioning her about district curriculum and if phrases deemed by jews and others as anti-semitic are acceptable. >> one of the slides in this curriculum said for some palestinians from the river to the sea is a call for freedom and peace. do you think that's an appropriate thing to have on a slide for students? >> we definitely believe that it's important to expose our students to a diversity of ideas and perspectives. and if it was presented as a perspective, i do think it's appropriate. >> the complaint filed by jewish groups also claims that phrases like kill jews were scrawled at berkeley high, and many students hid their judaism out of fear. >> two men charged in a deadly drive by shooting in antioch were sentenced today and avoided life in prison. the case has ties to the texting scandal that sent shockwaves through the antioch police department, and is one of the reasons why the defendants received lesser sentences. as abc seven news reporter anser hassan explains,

sentences were handed down in the landmark case linked to the antioch police texting scandal. >> i think in this case, this is a strong outcome, all four defendants will be facing, a lengthy prison sentence. >> this case dates back to 2021. four suspects were facing murder charges for a drive by shooting in antioch. gun and gang enhancements would have meant life in prison. instead, all four men pled no contest to manslaughter and lesser sentences. >> the resolution that has been struck in this matter, brings, accountability, to this case. >> the decision is a result of an fbi investigation that uncovered racist texts being sent between antioch police, including the arresting officers in the murder. the judge ruling that anti-black bias played a role in the charges, dropped all enhancements and special circumstances. >> nobody's going to be completely happy. >> defense attorney kamala caamano represents terrion pugh, who was featured in the text chains. he was sentenced to 20

years in prison. caamano wouldn't comment on the plea deal, but she says california's racial justice act actually led to two landmark decisions in this case. >> the first dealt with the district attorney's office in terms of disparate treatment of african americans in their charging decisions. and it was very important that that be brought to light. >> the second, she says, deals with racial animus in policing. >> the integrity of the investigation is completely compromised. and that's what happened in this case. >> so it really wasn't any justice. the time that they'll get is not that much time. >> brandi griffin is the mother of the shooting victim, arnold hawkins. she says she read the text messages and acknowledges problems within the department, but she says her family is paying the price. >> this was about arnold hawkins. this murder is about arnold hawkins. and they, they pretty much did them a favor, you know, that's how our family feel. like we pay for what the antioch police department did in martinez anser hassan abc seven news. >> coming up next are the

games? >> we went around the coliseum and found fans are here because they want to relive memories before the team leaves. >> we just sit here and talk and sometimes we throw the baseball and it's kind of a low key, easy thing to do. >> tailgating in the parking lot is what eric scriven has done for years, and i've been a fan for 40 plus years now for the a's. are you going to miss this, this parking lot, this tailgate? oh yeah. yeah, on the concourse. bob bales tells me he still remembers his first game, may the 11th, 1968 a's and the white sox can't be lost. >> a pop up in the sun. the a's lost one. >> nothing but reliving memories is not enough to crowd this stadium. let's go back >> i feel like the a's are missing out on a lot of revenue and a lot of, like, things that could happen if they just kept players and they just kept putting money into the stadium. it's a father and son field trip

for jesse feldman and his son ethan. >> this is sad because i've loved the a's all my life, and he's brought me here since i was just a baby. and it's like my whole childhood is just right here in this stadium. >> for them, wednesday's game was about spending time together. so what does it mean for you? this is the last season to be here with your son, to enjoy a day like this. >> we are getting it all in. of course i said yes when they said field trip at the a's game. >> it's a small crowd, but for them it's about creating memories at a ballpark one last time. no way in oakland. ryan curry, abc seven news the story and the weather makes me want to go out to a baseball game. >> let's all go. sandhya patel is here to tell us when we can all go to the baseball game. >> hey, let's just go tomorrow. why not deal? j.r. and dionne, let's talk about what it looks like right now. good evening everyone. it is absolutely beautiful. if you haven't had a chance to go outside, this is

the view from san jose where the sun is out. it is a little gusty, especially over some of our hilltops. mount diablo, northeastern wind 3831 at atlas peak. this is the very same wind that brought our temperatures up compared to 24 hours ago. we are running 13 degrees warmer in oakland. you will notice up ten in san jose, 11 degrees warmer in san francisco. so if you are going to step out this evening, inland areas in the mid 70s and then dropping off to the 60s around the bay, still pretty warm at 7 p.m. i mean, a little breezy, but 75 degrees and eventually coming down to the mid 60s around the coastal areas, 65 degrees and then down to the 50s, the warmth is courtesy of this area of high pressure. clearly building in the wind flowing from the high to the low, which is well inland. but that's why we've been experiencing those gusty winds as a result of the downsloping wind. look at the fog. it just completely got pushed away. now today those

wind gusts over some of our higher terrain have reached as high as 45 to even 6061 miles an hour on mount diablo, a view from our emeryville camera. looking at downtown oakland. it's a shaky one right now. 74 in san francisco, 79 in oakland, san jose, redwood city, currently 61 and half moon bay. just clear skies from our sutro tower camera looking at san francisco 80, in santa rosa. everyone else from petaluma to napa to concord, all in the 70s. and this is a gorgeous view from mount tam tonight, gusty winds continue. tomorrow we're talking about summer-like heat. and late tomorrow into friday the fog is going to return along the coastline. first, let's talk about the winds remaining gusty at 7:00, especially for parts of the north bay where that wind advisory is up through tomorrow morning, 9:00. still 29 to 31 mile an hour. winds and then they back off a bit, only to pick up again tomorrow morning. and then the wind will switch. direction coming onshore, blowing from the cooler ocean water towards the land. that's

what's going to help to bring that fog back into the picture along the coastline late tomorrow. going into friday, which means the coast cools on friday, not inland though you'll see those temperatures in a moment. 50s and 60s, clear and breezy tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon in the south bay, 87 in san jose, 80 degrees in santa cruz. good day to be on the beach on the peninsula. 87 redwood city, 70s along the coast from half moon bay to pacifica, downtown san francisco, 81 degrees. that would be the warmest in seven months for the city. 88 in santa rosa, 86 in san rafael in the east bay. oakland 84, berkeley 82. head inland and you're going to feel that heat. 88 in concord, 86 in livermore. good day to be in shorts and t shirts and the accuweather seven day forecast. you will need plenty of water. look at those 90 by friday and saturday. inland notice the coast cools and so does the bay. it's going to be lovely for moms. temperatures backing off everywhere but still pleasant. and then next week,

i'm franklin graham. the world seems to be engulfed with hate. we see it on our college campuses, and we see it across the borders. jesus christ understands hate. the world, at that time, hated him, and they still hate him today, but, you see, he came on a rescue mission to save us from our sin. he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins. he was buried, but god raised him to life. and if we're willing to put our faith and trust in jesus christ, god will forgive us of our sins, and he will heal our hearts. and the problem we have today is a heart problem. only god can change the human heart, and take that hate and fill it with his love. if you've never invited christ into your heart, pray this prayer with me right now. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry, forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him right now as my savior. and i pray this in jesus' name. if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now that's on the screen.

increasingly frightening. rocha just returned from an expedition to australia and the great barrier reef, a habitat now caught in a global event called coral bleaching. >> coral bleaching happens when temperatures water temperatures go up and corals get very stressed and they expel the algae that lives within their tissues. >> the result is the bone colored bleaching that indicates the coral could soon die off if conditions don't change. this is now the fourth and possibly worst global bleaching on record, matched by historic ocean warming. and during the dive, rocha and his team made another unsettling discovery scientists hadn't expected. examining the coral at lower depths, where the water is typically cooler, they found the same warming trend and the same pattern of damage from rising water temperatures in the deeper reefs. >> it was supposed to be 76 to 78. it was 80 to 82, so it was causing the deep corals to bleach. so even though the deeper water was colder then the shallow water, it was still warmer than normal and causing

the deeper corals to bleach and the damage is widespread. >> recently, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration estimated that more than half the world's coral reefs are now experiencing heat stress severe enough to cause bleaching, and those same rising ocean temperatures are affecting ecosystems well beyond the coral reefs, including the west coast of north america and our own bay area shoreline. teams from the academy have been documenting the loss of a predator known as the sunflower sea star that's unleashed an environmental chain reaction damaging vital kelp forests that provide habitat to other native species. researchers rebecca johnson studies the fallout and believes it's a collective result of our changing climate the bleaching, the loss of the sunflower stars on our coast, the changes that we've seen here at this reef. >> i mean, these are all kind of like symptoms of global change. >> the academy already has two cutting edge programs geared to the future breeding the sea stars in captivity to preserve their genetic diversity, while

at the same time spawning coral that could someday be transplanted to help regenerate damaged reefs. >> you can kind of see that there's different types of coral. >> luis rocha believes coral reintroduction may ultimately be necessary to keep the reefs healthy, pointing out that ecosystems they provide are a lifeline to roughly a third of the ocean's creatures. >> so if the corals die, those species associated with them die. so it's not just the corals that are going to go. there's a lot of species that depend on coral. >> still, he's hopeful enough of the world's reefs will survive and flourish to form a kind of coral bridge to the future, giving researchers time to develop strategies to help the stressed reefs regenerate all as the world works to combat the causes of climate change in san francisco, spencer christian, abc seven news. >> the night and day difference in the tenderloin. we wait until dark to meet a team that's helping drug addicts. >> we're out here at night because we know that's when people are more. they're ready, right? it's cold and they're hungry.

not here. >> we were told at the time gutierrez was out getting his new meds for his treatment. >> a person has to want help to get help. >> according to the san francisco health department, 27% of the adante clients move on to a residential treatment program, while 24% continue with their medication at their shelter. andrew pittman, the caseworker, says forcing anyone into treatment is not the end game for you. success is what keeping people alive, keeping people alive. >> that's your success. that's a success. >> you know, we love coming to see you and we love this. like drive and this like strength that you have another client, wesley, has continued with his treatment for the past two months after leaving the adante hotel, before moving to san francisco from virginia. >> he had been drug free for 14 years. then he discovered fentanyl. >> it's a never ending fight, you know, it's every day, i

mean, so many days i want to give up and just, you know, being on the streets is easy. this is the hard part, you know, getting clean and doing, doing the things i'm supposed to do. that's the hard, hard part. >> now, we told you that the number of accidental death overdoses reported by the medical examiner. so far this year is 199. so keep that number in mind. 199 last year, 2023, it was 204 for the same period. so a difference of five people. so our lives is being saved. that's the question in this program just started. and there is some hope that the dynamic that we see out on our streets will begin to slowly change, you know, and for many what i discovered, many of the people out there, this was in the first time that they started treatment. but you know, a lot

of them started treatment and they, you know, go back to fentanyl. it's such a strong drug. >> no quick solution here because it looks like it takes some time to talk them into right? >> right. i mean, you really have to want it. and then, you know, there's so many things and temptations out there that and you get back and then you try again. i mean, what what was told to me was they don't want to be in this situation. right? period. >> you can't force them. they have to want to go to. >> yeah. exactly. >> yeah. >> and a number of these navigation teams too, right. >> yeah. i mean, so they're out there seven days a week. thank you so much. >> a new developments now the alameda county da has filed murder charges against the suspect in a deadly shooting in oakland last weekend. 61 year-old michael seymour was shot in his minivan on sunday while stopped at a light he crashed outside the americas best value inn by lake merritt on first avenue by 12th street. the next day, police arrested 43 year old justin jenkins. now he is charged with murder and a gun

sergeant, take the hill. yes, i had to say follow me because you could only get one guy on the hill. >> but later, as vietnam unfolded, mccloskey turned against the war. it's in san mateo county that the candidates will meet to fight out an election for an empty congress seat. elected to congress as a republican in 1967, he eventually ran for president, trying to unseat richard nixon and participated in antiwar demonstrations. >> there are two ways to end this war. one is to persuade the president of the united states to stop the bombing forthwith, and to withdraw our troops from vietnam immediately. the other is to persuade 218 members of the house of representatives, or 51 senators, to vote to cut the money off for this war. >> when mccloskey came out against the war in vietnam as a marine war hero, it was it was a big deal activist and filmmaker robert coughlin was a lifelong friend in his film leading from

the front, coughlin documents mccloskey sometimes controversial stance from criticism of israel as a lecturer at stanford to support for free speech. >> the pair also teamed up on environmental battles, including access to a popular beach along the san mateo county coast. he believes mccloskey, who helped create the annual earth day celebration, may be best remembered for his courage and maverick personality. >> i think that he was a hero for the environment, a hero for peace, and a hero in war. he led a truly heroic life. >> dan ashley, abc seven news. >> former bay area congressman jackie speier says pete mccloskey was a mentor and she visited him about a month ago. >> yeah, she has so many great memories and she has a treasured gift from him, a purple heart that mccloskey received for serving in the korean war. >> this is one of my prized possessions, having served in congress. i don't know if you can see this, but, he presented

this to me, midway through my career, and he said he wanted me to have one of his purple hearts because he said there was no equivalent medal for, civilians who have served and been wounded. and, he thought this was one way of rectifying it. so it's a treasure. >> a treasure indeed. speer also shared with us a picture taken last week of mccloskey and his wife, helen. speer calls it a wife, helen. speer calls it a beautiful depiction of true love a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine.

i'm franklin graham. the world seems to be engulfed with hate. we see it on our college campuses, and we see it across the borders. jesus christ understands hate. the world, at that time, hated him, and they still hate him today, but, you see, he came on a rescue mission to save us from our sin. he died and shed his blood on a cross for our sins. he was buried, but god raised him to life. and if we're willing to put our faith and trust in jesus christ, god will forgive us of our sins, and he will heal our hearts. and the problem we have today is a heart problem. only god can change the human heart, and take that hate and fill it with his love.

if you've never invited christ into your heart, pray this prayer with me right now. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry, forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him right now as my savior. and i pray this in jesus' name. if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now that's on the screen. we have someone who'd like to speak with you, and pray with you. god bless you!

international offshoot was last year in sydney, australia. >> the beatles 1970 documentary let it be debuts on disney+ today. it's the first time the movie has been released since 1980. let it be shows the band working on their last album together, and reporter george pennacchio from our sister station in los angeles, takes a look back. let it be, let it be,

let it be, let it be. >> filmmaker michael lindsay-hogg started shooting let it be as a concert film back in 1969, but after about a week he realized this was really more of a documentary. >> i have a fond memory of making let it be in 1970, when it was released, was a kind of bumpy time because, as you know, the beatles had broken up one month before the movie came out and so therefore the movie was seen with an incorrect lens on it, which is people regarded it as the breakup movie, and so they were looking in the movie for all the clues, as to why the beatles might have broken up on our way back home. >> and with that, lindsay-hogg says the film got the reputation of being a dark and downer of a movie. he hopes this remastered

version can be a bit of a corrective. nothing's gonna change my world. >> the movie is exactly the same as it was in 1970. cut for cut, and the songs are the same. >> okay, let's do it again then. 1234. la bus riding nowhere. >> it's a very surprisingly joyful picture. and it also as well has the story of, of what it's like for these four men who changed the world in their early 20s. what happens to them now is their getting older as they're pushing 30 and their lives are taking them in different directions. so it's a dramatic picture as well as a joyful picture as well as an historical picture. >> in los angeles, george pennacchio, abc7 news. >> disney is the parent company of abc seven. >> well, just ahead warm and windy right now. but what's in
