female succumbed to her injuries and was declared deceased at the hospital. traffic control officers who work at that intersection say drivers are usually interested in getting out of town. so they're usually watching the traffic light, not looking at the crosswalks. officials are not releasing information about the driver, including whether any charges will be filed. former san jose state head, athletic trainer and sports medicine director scott shaw has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of athletes. shaw admitted to violating the civil rights of four students by touching them without their consent during physical therapy. appointments from 2017 to 2020. athletes who were victims of sexual misconduct say they feel vindicated after others called them liars for years. the plea deal comes less than two weeks after a mistrial was declared in the case. shaw faces two years in prison. at a sentencing hearing in november. residents in san francisco continue to be skeptical of self-driving cars after one got stuck in wet concrete. crews has recovered the vehicle and a company spokesperson spokesperson

sign of things to come. today, though, you can see caught there in between. so everything looks good today, sunny. it could be a few high clouds, but i think overall, today's sunny, that's a pretty good activity. yesterday it favored more south shore and also towards interstate 80. more so than 50 north. but it could easily change today. so if you're going up there, keep that in mind. upper 90s to near 100 for a few inland today. after today, though, i think we'll start to ease up on on some of these warmer temps coast and bay should drop a couple of degrees today just by the mere fact that we had a little bit more of a breeze, a little bit more fog today. but so today's nice today tomorrow should be pretty good by friday though i think we'll cloud it up. a weekend will be kind of coming of some fog and sunny and cooler temps. what is now tropical storm hillary. this will be where all the focus, all the attention and all the projections between now and monday are going to be here as it moves up the coast up of baja and moves in somewhere around san diego. most projections taken in the southern california, the high desert, then in between tahoe and las vegas, somewhere around there,

it could easily come over us as well. but these projections are all changing rapidly depending on what forecast projections you look at. if we do, if we do get the moisture, we could have some serious august rain for us or in tahoe. i mean, that would be a lot of rain for us in august. as you know, i've seen some areas in tahoe with over two and one half inches forecast. so it's just a matter of sorting out the details. it's just too far away to be to give a forecast. it's more of just an outlook or a hey, look at this is really what it is. sunny today, breezy, warm to hot inland. one more day. temps cool down upper 90s for a few 60s 70s closer to the coast. and tomorrow we'll cool it off. clouded up on friday. your weekend looks good. monday, tuesday could be dealing with a lot of tropical clouds. thank you, steve. coming up here on mornings on to the nine, the president and first lady say they will travel to maui following devastating wildfires there. who the president will meet with and what else he's expected to do. we'll also update the search of burned areas and why the process of identifying victims should move faster than what we've seen in

children's first day of school. i know san francisco. some other districts are heading back today. make it a great school year. let's talk about what's happening overseas here. bad behavior by tourists. a woman was caught on camera climbing across italy's historic trevi fountain to fill her water bottle. visitor is seen climbing across some rocks to reach the center of that 18th century landmark in rome. she then captures water coming from one of the spouts to fill the bottle . fountain is surrounded by signs that tell people not to touch it, not to climb it, and do not use the water as a source. a guard shows up, blows the whistle, confronts her. we don't know yet if she was fined or detained, but you have to assume everybody there has a phone. i don't know if she thought she was going to get away with it or no big deal. i've been thinking about it. i'm like like, what was your what were you thinking? i'm just going through my mind. do you just not care? right? do you just like breaking the rules? what are you going to do with the water? what do you do with the water? maybe she thought it

was special and she was going to keep it as a souvenir, which pam pointed out earlier. you can't even bring it on the plane. right, right, right. so, i mean, you know, people are so entitled. and now that everyone has a phone, we're beginning to see that. right? right. before we didn't know. but now you see there's a lot of people doing weird things is in the video. that's right. all right. let's move on to this story now. happening now, work is underway to clean up trash and even abandoned cars in the watershed next to an important reservoir. ktvu rasmus joins us live from morocco hills where east bay mud representatives say they need people to help with this problem. ali yeah, it's a big problem when it comes to people dumping illegal trash and even abandoned vehicles. we are on pinehurst road. this is in the moraga hills. you see a lot of activity next to us. this is one of three tow trucks that is out here on the side of the road. and if you follow this rappelle line about 300ft down this hillside, this embankment is an old abandoned car, is a white car, very hard to see, kind of buried between a lot of the grass and shrubbery there. but this is part of the watershed for the upper san leandro

reservoir. and that provides drinking water and the water for east bay mud customers. so when you have stuff like abandoned cars and trash and hazardous material in the watershed, you got to get that stuff out. and that's what the cleanup is about here this morning. east bay mud representatives say illegal dumping near their reservoirs has become a big problem since the pandemic last month, they did a similar cleanup around the upper san leandro reservoir and removed eight abandoned cars from the area and they ended up cleaning up more than eight tons of trash. this land and this water supply is two valuable. don't bring your trash here. this is what we drink. what we live off of. and it's a complicated process to do these types of cleanups and to remove these abandoned cars. they have to coordinate east bay mud. does with the county and other government agencies to partially close down the streets. so it's complicated and again, expensive. in the past three years, the water utility has had to spend more than $200,000 just to clean up this trash. and that

work is underway right now. if we take you back out here live again, you see, i don't know if we can see from up here, but there is a tow truck operator, contractor hired that is about 200ft down on the side of the road here. he has to hook a hook onto this abandoned car and then they have to hoist this thing up all the way up here to the road. and i was talking to some of the tow truck operators here and they said not only is this physically challenging work going downhill here and then climbing back up, but there's a lot of hazards like poison oak in this area. one of the tow truck operators told us the last time he did this back in july, he got poison oak. and so it's not fun work. he says it's not something people are chomping at the bit to do. exactly when it comes to this type of assignment. but this work is expected to last for much of the morning. they're planning on removing a three abandoned cars. this is one of them. and cleaning up at least a dozen illegal trash sites near this

reservoir. live in the mariah hills, ali rasmus, ktvu fox two news. well, one person is in the hospital after being hit by a vehicle in alameda this is happening just a short time ago on clemente avenue, not far from the alameda marina. these are live pictures from the scene of the incident. you can see the one police cruiser there on the scene right now. alameda police has the intersection closed for the investigation. as you can see right here, it's expected to open within the hour. we are told. and we're waiting on an update on the victim's condition , along with more information about the driver involved in this incident. but we'll keep you updated on air online. we'll have an update for you at noon as well. all right. now to this story. us consumers seem to be shrugging off higher prices. retail sales were up 0.7% in july. department stores showed a nearly 1% increase. restaurant sales rose 1.4% and online sales were up nearly 2. in milwaukee, president biden touted his bid nomics, saying inflation is decreasing as wages are rising, pay for low wage workers has

community to get involved with our making strides against breast cancer walks. we have two walks coming up in october, on october 22nd and october 28th, one in san francisco, one in silicon valley. you gave me the fundraising goals for each and they're pretty big. yes, absolutely. so in san francisco, we're hoping to raise $250,000. in silicon valley, we're hoping to raise $400,000. and this will go to fund critical breast cancer research, as well as patient programs for people who are any aware along their cancer journey. so people can mark their calendar. now saying this is what i'm doing that day. i'm going to put on my tennis shoes, put on my pink, and i'm going to walk. what can we do starting now? absolutely. well, we're kicking off our fundraising season right now, but you don't want to miss our walks in october, we'll be at crissy field on october 22nd. and california is great america. and october 28th, people could go to making strides, walk dot org slash bay area ca or slash silicon valley to sign up volunteer and fundraise. i have

been a part of these walks over the years as a participant, as an emcee and there is a powerful something that happens. you arrive essentially a stranger as you might have a little friends group, but then once you start walking and talking, you leave with this empowerment of so many people who are working for the same mission. absolutely there's nothing like gathering with your friends, your family caregivers and loved ones to support you along your cancer journey. and that's what we do with making strides against breast cancer. i know during the pandemic we talked a lot about women were putting off necessary screenings and many doctors said they are now seeing women for the first time in 2 or 3 years and they're finding cancer later. if you can say a word to women in particular who need to focus on their own health, amid everything else we do every day. absolutely i mean, screening and early detection is so critical to moving the needle when it comes to diagnosis. and, you know, in california, it's estimated that this year, 30,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. the

numbers are unacceptably high, and we have to do what we can to keep moving that needle and doing what we can to prevent and detect cancer, breast cancer used to be something that people were shocked that a loved one had. now, i hear from people who say, oh, my aunt is going through it. my sister just went through it. how does that change the way we see breast cancer? yeah it's like i said, it's just increasing prevalent. and i think that due to the pandemic, many people miss their appointments and their treatment . and that's why we have making strides against breast cancer. it's about getting connected to the community, raising awareness and of course, raising critical funds for the mission. so yeah, i'm assuming that working for an organization like making strides, perhaps you and i have something in similar in that we have good jobs, we have health insurance, we have sick days. even with all that dealing with the breast cancer diagnosis can be burdensome. and then i think about what about the women who don't have all these benefits? absolutely see, the health
