>> it was fascinating. outside the courthouse, hundreds of people on the day the verdict was read, maybe thousands gathered outside the courthouse. we were also there when there was a bomb threat. they had to evacuate the media. we did not evacuate my photographer. i hid and stayed in the media compound and reported what was going on. but the moment the verdict was read, there was a lot of speculation. there was going to be a hung jury, that we would go around again and when they said not guilty, the reporters all paused for a moment to make sure that we had heard correctly, and the crowd just went crazy with excitement. outside the courthouse. it was a surreal period of time. it was a circus. the eyes of the world were on that la courthouse. remarkable experience. >> yeah, it certainly is. i mean, you think about it, the tvs were all that was all that was on tv and there wasn't social media, there wasn't the internet. it was all oj. that's true. >> and it dominated what was on the air. all right, ryan, thanks very much. well, telling us more about oj's legacy, we had timothy allen simon on our 3 p.m. program called getting answers. he's a san francisco attorney and friend of the

simpson family. >> oj is not a tragic story that oj. yes he may have had trouble. i don't know anybody that didn't. i know very few african american young men who do not have contact with law enforcement. that's the reality of our history, that someone as great as willie mays, san francisco's greatest athlete, greater than steph, greater than barry, took this young man under his wing and said, let me show you how to be a great athlete and a great man like me. that's a great story. this great childhood that this man had in this neighborhood that we call potrero hill. >> okay. and simon says that whether someone believes oj killed anyone is irrelevant to his legacy, saying that we operate in a society of law, not public opinion. for more on oj simpson's life and death, check out all of our coverage on abc seven news.com. >> for more san francisco businesses have filed a legal claim against the city over the controversial center running valencia street bike lane. those

neighborhood where the county says it's so far found all of the 80s aegypti mosquitoes are concerned with. so they're now coming in here with specialized traps. >> they prefer humans over other animals, so we can use human lures, which smell like sweaty socks. and that is more likely to attract the aedes aegypti to our trap, the county said. >> mosquitoes look for specific places to create a habitat. >> we're talking dog bowls, old tires, tarps, any containers that can hold any amount of water are are containers that can possibly help 8-80 aegypti reproduce and get established. >> that's why they say it's important to eliminate any of those potential habitats on your property. the county said staff is carrying out an eradication plan in the surrounding area that includes inspecting the outside of properties, but they're also urging everyone to do their part. so far, many residents in the area say that they're now on top of it. >> i always collect rainwater over the winter, so yeah, so now i've got all my buckets capped, the ones that are still have any water in them at all. >> if you encounter any 8-80 mosquitoes where you live, you're asked to contact vector

accounts are unhealthy. mental health is even more unhealthy right now, and i do fear that we are going to start losing members of our fleet. we're going to start losing some of our capacity as a port to deliver seafood to california. >> still, many fishermen tell me this is a double gut punch. after dungeness crab season has already been cut short, salmon and crab is kind of our iconic san francisco fishery, they've closed it down again, mainly because of water policy issues. most water is going down south into the desert to grow almonds, they're taking that out of the river system. >> the california department of fish and wildlife says low fish populations are just one of the reasons for the closure. >> ultimately, it's not enough water for all interests, especially in years of drought. we chose to be extra conservative, close those fisheries so that they have the best chance of returning and spawning and sort of building our stock status back up to healthy levels as quickly as

possible. >> governor gavin newsom has requested for a federal fishery disaster declaration. in a statement, he said we'll continue working with the biden administration and congress to ensure california's fisheries and impacted communities are supported during this critical time. as for the $20.6 million that was allocated for last year's closure, that spend plan hasn't been approved by congress yet. >> we're still waiting. but what we're asking for is actually something much, much greater than $20.6 million. what we need is a comprehensive and funded plan to bring back our salmon population so that we can go back to work in san francisco. >> lena howland abc seven news next at four caltrans opposition to a settlement between tesla and a local family over a deadly fire. >> also, the feature a local city is activating to get abandoned and possibly stolen cars off the street. >> and later, the new national security warning today from the head of the f

fire weather perspective, and it helps to keep us out of drought. how's that? good okay, good. now let's talk about the weather changes that are ahead as we look from our walnut creek camera. absolutely beautiful, full with just lots of sunshine out there. and it is a warm one from fairfield to concord to livermore in the low 80s. santa rosa, you're at 78 degrees 74, in napa. as we take a look at a live picture from santa cruz, you can certainly see people are just soaking up the sun right now. 62 in the city, it is 67. in oakland, 70 from hayward to san jose, a cool 57 right now in half moon bay. so as we look at live doppler seven, this is all quiet. but that's all going to change. high pressure in command of our weather for one more day to day, which is why we got the warm weather. but look what's developing out here. we do have a storm that's on the way, and it is going to bring us colder weather and you will notice it. so live view from our mount tam cam few buildups there tomorrow. a sharp drop in those temperatures and the cloud cover

through for the rest of the day going into your sunday as well. so definitely be prepared for that. there's a chance of thunder on sunday now. rainfall projections taking you through sunday night. most of you will be in that half an inch to about an inch and a half area. but ben loman picking up over two inches, you could see some ponding on the roadways, so be prepared for that. if you do have outdoor activities, i think it will be a better one on sunday. accuweather seven day forecast clouds up friday chance late night saturday is a one mix precip, chilly and then a one on sunday. thunderstorm chance and then monday through thursday. we're really expecting just a minor warm up and pleasant spring weather headed your way. so dan and jr i think it looks nice. a little variety for everyone. >> well they always say live in the moment. so live in the moment and then live for tomorrow right? >> sounds good to me. that's good. >> all right. thanks, andy. when we come back using sound to save whales, it's a program along our coastline that's proven to be so

the state and federal wildlife officials are trying to figure out the best way to search for gray whales that are entangled in a gill net. yeah.

>> the whale was last seen off the daly city coast, dragging a gill net tied around its tail. fog in the upcoming storm is making it difficult to find the whale and cut away the netting. gill nets are just one of the many perils that whales encounter, but a system to protect whales along our coastline is expanding, and as abc7 news weather anchor spencer christian explains, it's paying additional dividends as well in what's becoming a whale of a success story. >> when you have a great idea, word spreads pretty fast, and now an ocean going system that's protecting whales here in the bay area is expanding to the east coast and canada. doug mccauley directs the benioff ocean science laboratory at uc santa barbara. two years ago, the benioff group teamed with the marine mammal center to install a system of acoustic buoys off our coast. the system can detect migrating whales, warning ships in the area to slow down to avoid deadly collisions on the west coast. >> what we do is we couple that

vessel analytics, surveying and tracking how vessels are paying attention to the slow speed zones that the government puts out for whale safety, as well as also tracking the whales, he says. >> the whale safe system also relies on satellites and massive databases to track the movement of ships as well, and on the east coast, the information could be critical for an endangered species known as the north atlantic right whale, whose population has now dwindled to the hundreds. >> and they're already sitting on the edge. this precipice of extinction. and to that gets scary. and that's where tools like this them come through and we hope will help make a difference for their survival. >> similar data also drives a voluntary vessel speed reduction program that's benefiting the bay area environment in several ways. jeff morton is with noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. she says over the last year, their effort, known as protecting blue whales and blue skies, not only

cut the risk of ship collisions, but also the amount of dangerous air pollution, and we end up seeing tens of thousands of metric tons of regional greenhouse gas reductions when they slow down to these target speeds of ten knots or less, nearly three dozen major shipping companies now participate in the voluntary program, and researchers are hoping that similar cooperation will ultimately help protect threatened whale populations worldwide. >> and nobody wants to run over whales. and none of these companies do so. they genuinely also are looking for that information so they can help become part of the solution. >> in san francisco. spencer christian, abc seven news. and one more note on this when the blue whales and blue skies program started, it offered financial incentives to shipping companies. >> but noaa says the shippers are now reducing speed voluntarily in sensitive areas without being compensated. just ahead this afternoon, the threats from overseas that have the director of the fbi worried about a terror attack here in the u.s. plus, you can't have your head in the sand and think,

oh, i'm not at risk. >> i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. >> how artificial intelligence can help some women detect breast cancer early and with vitiligo, the pursuit for your pigment is no exception. it's time you had a proven choice to help restore what's yours. opzelura is the first and only fda-approved prescription treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo proven to help repigment skin over time.

a national security warning from the head of the fbi today. >> director christopher wray went before congress to say he's worried about attacks by individuals or groups inspired by recent events in the middle east and russia. abc's morgan norwood has details on what he's asking of lawmakers. >> with critical funding on the line, the fbi director going before lawmakers laying out concerns about the possibility of an organized attack against

the u.s. christopher wray telling congress that his immediate concern is that a lone wolf actor or small group will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east and russia. >> there was already a heightened risk of violence in the united states before october 7th. since then, we've seen a rogues gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against americans and our allies. >> it comes just days after a warning earlier this week about an 18 year old idaho man who was arrested and charged with allegedly planning an isis inspired attack on the homeland. in his testimony, wray encouraging congress to reauthorize section 702 of fisa, the foreign intelligence surveillance act, which allows the government to collect information on foreign nationals without a warrant. it sometimes collects data on americans who interact with persons of interest. it is critical for our ability to identify foreign terrorist organizations communicating with, inspiring, or working with people here in

the us. >> and that's how we identify and stop attacks. >> hard line house republicans opposed to reauthorizing fisa without an amendment that would require the intelligence community to get an additional warrant to access americans data, as the fbi faces a $500 million budget cut. wray laying out the stakes, saying our national security is at risk. >> americans are applying in droves to devote their lives to a career with us, protecting others. but we need more positions to be able to bring all the good people we can to the fight. certainly not fewer in house republicans say that they've made cuts to the fbi and other federal law enforcement agencies budgets. >> now, the fbi director is asking congress to fund the agency through 2025. i'm morgan norwood, abc news, new york. >> a new rule regarding gun sales will soon go into effect. the justice department is calling it the most significant increase in american gun regulation in decades. the biden

administration said today. it's closing the so-called gun show loophole. it will now require those selling guns at gun shows, flea markets or online to have a federal license and conduct background checks on buyers. previously the law did not require that those who sell guns to earn a profit must also be licensed. >> this regulation is a historic step in the justice department's fight against gun violence. it will save lives as the rule is expected to take effect in 30 days. >> it is likely to face challenges in the courts and in congress. >> on north bay highway, prone to flooding is getting a major boost from the federal government. the biden administration is allocating $20 million to help fortify a section of highway 37 between sears point and mare island in vallejo. if you drive along this stretch, you'll know it's prone to flooding during storms and high tides. the federal funding will help install sheet pile

walls, reinforce the siding, and raise the roadway at two segments to better protect it and already effective ultrasound technology is getting a true boost. it's now using fda approved artificial intelligence to help detect types of breast cancer faster. and for some patients, more efficiently. >> abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra shows us the experience being offered at san francisco's eve wellness. >> what stage were you in stage three at age 38, jenna williams was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. >> she was in disbelief. >> there's just no way i'm too young. this can't be possible. i didn't know where to go. i didn't know who to talk to. >> after noticing the lump, she couldn't get an appointment with her doctor, so she tried eve wellness, an ultrasound imaging center in san francisco that's using fda approved artificial intelligence. >> and within what period of time were you in the clinic? >> 12 hours. within 12 hours, she got screened. eight days

later, she had her diagnosis. >> i was overwhelmed. >> breast cancer will impact about 1 in 8 women in the united states. uh- 1 in 4. if you have a family history. >> eve wellness co-founder brendan foley says his clinic uses what's called an automated breast ultrasound machine. it's one of only three in san francisco that scans several images on each side of the breast. >> you can see we're taking a square image. this is a reproducible image we're taking with the ge bus. and with that, the scan will go across the breast. >> the ai scan uses a software that compares the images taken against roughly 200 million other breast scans. i tried it myself. >> okay. i just want to verify that kiersten taylor, the clinical imaging specialist, performed a risk assessment. this will assess your risk of breast cancer in your lifetime. they're going to be doing a total of six images. >> the screening began lying down. it's going to be adding quite a bit of gel just on this

first one here. the scan costs about $350, takes about 20 minutes, with results back in 48 hours. >> typically speaking, cancers do appear white on mammograms, so in all of these white areas, it's going to be a lot more difficult to identify if there's a cancer. we capture images right up in that armpit area. >> the clinic's physician says the ai software hasn't misdiagnosed any breast cancer since using it three years ago. the typical breast screening age is 40. some women prefer ultrasound screening because it's free of radiation and there's no age restriction or doctor referral needed, and for others, it may be more effective than traditional mammograms. a study by the national cancer institute found. mammography is more likely to miss cancer among women with dense breast tissue. >> we've actually looked at this very carefully, and this has been going on for a long time. so if you have dense breast tissue, it it does you it's hard

to get sound waves or x rays through the tissue. >> doctor laura esserman is a surgeon and breast cancer oncologist at ucsf, where she is the director of the breast cancer center. she says ultrasounds typically have high false positive rates, adding other options for women with dense breast tissue, especially if you're a mutation carrier. our contrast based exams, like iv contrast mammography or an mri because that allows you to look at how well vascularized what the blood flow is to a tumor and those that's a much more sensitive exam. esserman leads the wisdom study that compares annual mammograms versus personalized approaches to breast screening. that's based on individual risk. >> the rates of breast cancer have been increasing. thing, in the united states as well. >> a recent study published in the journal of the american medical association found rates of early onset breast cancer has

increased by nearly 4% among u.s. women from 2016 through 2019. and while women over 50 are at higher risk, this study found a rising trend of breast cancer among women under 40. >> again, in young women, it isn't as common, but it's still common enough that you have to be aware and you can't have your head in the sand and think, oh, i'm not at risk. i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. >> look at patients like williams, know family history and diagnosed in her 30s. coming here expedited my entire experience. >> it wound up to be like a very rare, very aggressive cancer. if i waited months for appointments in the hospital systems, it could have been even worse. >> after six months of chemo, we're happy to report she's now cancer free. stephanie sierra abc seven news. >> just amazing that she found it. as stephanie mentioned, the screenings cost $350. you can learn more at my eve

straws to protect a lab grown coral. when placed on the in the ocean, the corals have a survival rate of less than 40, but biodegradable straws can be used as a protective barrier, shielding corals from predators. the straws decompose in less than two months, but have raised coral survival rates to over 90, which is actually fantastic news because our coral reefs are in such trouble. but chris, i would say i've never had a biodegradable straw last anywhere close to two minutes, let alone two months when i'm using them. >> yeah, so you're right. what's the difference we got to find? yeah that's a great point, dan, i was thinking i like the new story about the idea, but i hate using them at restaurants. i just they do they evaporate so quickly. >> so i love the idea that they're better for our environment. we all get that. sandia that's important. crucial. but i often think surely we can come up with a better invention that works better. >> absolutely. i mean, maybe over time they will come up with

that. it is better for the environment, but i don't really use straws that often. so i kind of feel like i just put that one aside because when i do, i've noticed it just like chris and you mentioned, it just kind of crumbles pretty quick. >> if you're not a straw person. >> yeah. second half of my drink today. i slurped down as fast as i could so that straw would make it. and it was one of those so. >> but this is reassuring. >> they just need some more improvements. yeah it's always important to do the right thing. even a century later. right. well, that's what happened this week when a woman returned to copy of the sir walter scott book ivanhoe to a fort collins, colorado, library 105 years overdue. let me repeat that. 105 years overdue. the woman's brother had found it in their mom's belongings. the book was never returned after it was checked out for the third time on february 13th, 1919. back then, the library charged $2 a day for late fees. it doesn't charge them anymore. if they did, they'd be collecting $14,000. the bottom line dan, do you have any books that are 100 years old at your house?

>> you know, i think i have one that i don't know if it's 100, but it's close, maybe 80, 75, 80. but what surprises me, a it's nice to get it back where it belongs, but back then it was $2 a day. that's a lot of money. $0.02 a day, $0.02 a day, a day. >> i think that was off in the script. >> yeah, it was a $0.02 a days where we should have said, well, good. i'm glad she returned it. that's kind of fun. >> sandhya, your thoughts absolutely. >> i mean, it's always nice to give it back, especially if it's not yours, why hang on to it? even if it was 105 years later? j.r. >> yeah, i mean chris, i would think though chris they would have to follow the rules like some money should be spent or paid back, right? >> i don't think so. nope nope. i might actually thought about keeping it because it's kind of a cool keepsake. but i mean, yeah, i don't have any books, so i don't have this problem. no problem for me. >> you're an electronics guy. yes, yes. the sign you see, in every castaway movie finally pays off. three micronesian fishermen made a help sign from

palm fronds on a tiny, remote islet in the pacific ocean on tuesday. they'd been stranded for more than a week after their boat broke down. the men lived off coconut and fresh water from a small island well, a u.s. navy jet spotted their sign and alerted the coast guard, which rescued these men. with that homemade help sign. it never worked for gilligan and the crew , but at least it worked here. >> i know, dan, it always seemed like gilligan couldn't figure it out, but that was pretty creative. i mean, and it stood out, so it wasn't like you're just writing in the sand. help! uh. they got help, which is good. >> yeah. and chris, you know, if you've ever been to i have not been to that part of the world, but, you know, the ocean is so vast. yeah, it's remarkable. it's easy to see how it could take someone a long, long time to be spotted. >> i was going to say what a nightmare just being out there. and then lei lucky they got to the land and then it all worked out. but man, i don't know. that's that's a tough way to survive for sure. i'm glad they

got saved. >> i got to be honest. i mean, i feel pretty reassured knowing that they were safe. so the idea that they were saved, if my plane goes down, it's nice to know that i can just make a sign because they made it. maybe i can make it worked once might work. >> yeah, although people have been trying it for thousands of years. i want to bum you out, but it's working these days, so i am. >> i'm pretty positive about it. well, no horsing around on this one. commuters got quite a surprise recently while waiting for the subway in sydney, australia. take a look. and escaped racehorse managed to make its way onto the station platform last friday. security video shows the startled reaction from people at the station. a subway train then rolls into the station with the horse running alongside it. the horse was eventually taken away on a truck and returned to its owner. chris is this a racehorse? you're in the sports world there. have you seen this racehorse on the track? >> no, but obviously it's got some, good escape ability. like how did this happen? it's so scary. like, can you imagine seeing anything like that if

you're on bart or in a big city? like, i got spooked the other day when i was on the on the highway around here, and i saw some deer. i'm like, oh my gosh, so to see a horse, a racehorse on the subway, i mean, that's wild. >> i don't know, you see things far more scary than a racehorse. yeah, in some parts, you know, but at least maybe it had to had to erase it, had to get to in a hurry and was running behind. >> possible. >> yeah, that's pretty cool. >> interesting image. yeah. like by cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. novartis may help you save on your prescription.
