violent offenders who are remaining in custody for longer periods of time. >> defense attorneys for scott peterson laid the groundwork today in their effort to get him a new trial. peterson appeared virtually during this morning's hearing in redwood city, a legal analyst says the hearing was one step, and the defense efforts to get evidence in the case. >> this is a big deal that materials weren't given to the defense. that probably should have been given to the defense before that trial. that's a bad thing for paula, carney says. >> the next step will be a motion by peterson's attorneys for retesting evidence for dna. the los angeles innocence project says they have evidence that proves peterson was wrongly convicted of killing his pregnant wife, laci, and their unborn son in the east bay. >> people who want to recall alameda county district attorney pamela price want a special election soon, alameda county's registrar of voters says recall supporters surpassed the signature threshold by about

actually kicking in bed and kicked my wife. >> oh no, i wonder what that means. >> what was going on in your life at that time? right. like that story from denise just talked about? >> yeah. >> i don't remember what was going on. i it may not have been anything i can think of that triggered it because i was so rarely have those kinds of dreams, but i don't want to have them again. >> julian and kristen, do you guys have anchor dreams? sometimes i have a nightmare that the teleprompter goes down and that there's no producer telling us what to talk about. >> that's a real nightmare. no, never. >> not those. >> no. thankfully not. got to get a good book, watch some mindless tv house hunters or something. exactly right. and just zone out. >> that's it. all right. now to the world's first dodgy airline. >> world class dining. critically acclaimed in-flight entertainment. >> if you think this is a joke, you're not a dog person. >> okay, that's a little judgy of her, but barkbox is teaming

up with a jet charter service to launch bark air, a ticket for one dog and its human will cost at least $6,000 one way. the first flights take off next month. i think they have, like, new york to la and new york to london, i think. yeah, yeah, across the pine. so who's excited to sign up for this? >> i mean, maybe not personally, but i know there are a lot of people who would do this for their pet. $6,000. >> wow. >> the smell has to be insane in there, though. i mean, i just got to say, right, you know, i love dogs too. but $6,000, that's a lot. >> i think i could probably hire a driver like an uber driver that could personally escort my dog that far at that price. right. >> and then are the humans and the pets, the pooches, the vips in the same, you know, rose same section or it looked that way at one of the one piece of the video there, right?

>> yeah. good question. >> yeah. >> okay. i guess none of us is signing up for this. >> okay. >> someone's going to do it, though. we'll be covering the stories, i'm sure. >> apparently not one of us know. >> lots to chew on. >> we're voting for the four day workweek. >> there we go. all right,

45,000 students are not reading

or doing math at grade level, but there are some schools that are excelling. >> so what are they doing right? >> abc seven news reporter anser hassan visited one school to find out. >> eighth grader yaritza fernandez enjoys the way english is taught at oakland unity middle school. so much it's inspired her beyond the classroom because of him, i don't want to be an english teacher, so that's one of my dreams. that's a strong sentiment, considering that many of oakland's black and brown students are failing when it comes to english and math proficiency. a new report titled raise the bar says if oakland's 45,000 students, only 2 in 10 black and brown students are reading at grade level, 14 percentage points below the state average, and just 1 in 10 are doing math at grade level, 10% below the state average, but not at oakland unity middle school. >> we actually had the highest gains in math proficiency in all of oakland last year. >> damon grant is co-principal at a school located deep in east oakland. 85% of the majority of black and brown students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

despite all that, grant says they have high expectations. >> our students are coming in sometimes with some gaps that we need to fill, but we're not going to only focus on filling the gaps. we're also going to make sure that they're being exposed to what eighth graders need to be exposed to. >> what's helped are it's learning labs, 70 minutes a day, four days a week, devoted just to math and english. >> there's part of the english period that's been in in a grammar and vocabulary building space. and then there's part that's spent in book clubs and literature circles and, you know, more of like a conceptual and creative space teacher nicholas ward explains how a recent eighth grade math project involved pitching to members of the community who played the role of investors. >> the kids had to come up with a right equation and basically pitch their idea to these investors in a room, and i thought that was something i never saw in middle school, ever. >> it's a charter school, which often means smaller class size and more autonomy over its curriculum. >> some teachers are willing to slow down and look at data and see like, hey, this is something i might need to reteach with

this group or particular student, principal grant says. >> retaining quality teachers. another key to its success. >> just really proud of our kids and our community, and it's been a lot of hard work to get to this point. but i think we've created something really special in oakland, anser hassan. >> abc seven news. >> clearly, doing something right there. >> yes, yes, the kids like it there. and so the teachers enjoy teaching there because the kids like it. exactly. >> and they want to stay. >> yes. and we want this weather to stay for a while as long as we can stretch it out here. >> spencer. >> well, i'll give you a quick look at what we have right now. just so we can savor that temperature readings right now in the mid 70s and most of our inland areas, low 70s around the bay. and look at the forecast headlines. you can see it's going to remain mild overnight even as clouds increase tomorrow partly cloudy, even warmer than today. and for the remainder of the week, dry above average temperatures. so who can complain overnight? look for low temperatures mainly in the low 50s. so as i said, generally mild even though clouds will increase overnight. then tomorrow uh- lots of sunshine, but a few lingering high clouds. high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s around the bay

shoreline and up to 80 on the in the warmest inland areas. so we've got some lovely weather ahead. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. not much change in the temperature range from day to day, up a couple of degrees, down a couple of degrees, but generally in that mild to warm range all the way through the week until next tuesday when we get a little bit of a sharper cooldown. no rain in sight for a while either, so enjoy this while it's here, because you know that bay area the weather changes. julian >> we'll take it. thank you so much, spencer. well, a dream come true for young boy who loves sea life. his father bought him an octopus, but that gift was much more than anyone thought it would be. >> details next. >> this is abc 724 seven. >> in san francisco, live at levi's stadium in san jose. >> live in oakland? yeah you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. >> here we are, we are, we are, we are we are, we are where you

the rookie at ten. the good doctor. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. now to a story we just had to share with you. it's about a father son, a

pet octopus, and a big surprise. abc news reporter becky worley has their story. >> nine year old cal clifford of edmond, oklahoma, has ■a fascination with all things octopus. >> i've just loved him since i was two because they're the closest things to aliens. >> this obsession got legs when dad cameron bought a tank and promised they could actually get one. >> we're going to build an octopus tank. >> thank you so much. >> and the arrival of a mail order california two spot octopus in a plastic bag was cal's dream come true. they named him terence. but then terence outgrew his tank. and then the clifford's learned keeping an octopus tank was really hard. >> the electrical issue was a little bit scary, and that was kind of a wake up call of the reverse osmosis filter, although properly installed, had a leak. and so finding out that our

kitchen island and floors needed to be ripped out, that was a little bit inconvenient. >> and then terence the octopus became an octo mom. >> we kind of estimated that there were about between 40 and 70 eggs, but every one that hatched that i saw, i was able to catch and contain. and it was exactly 50. >> terence was renamed terry, and the family assumed the eggs were unfertilized, but nope. one by one they hatched. each baby got a name. >> science was like this. like hippie octopus. and then slim shady. he was just like tentacles in the air. >> my wife named that one jc, and i think bill nye the octopi is the most recent. hi buddy. when the baby started hatching faster than i could kind of catch them, i had to move a lot of them into the bathroom in these small containers because they would eat each other if they were put in the same container. the makeshift incubators took over bathrooms and countertops that the clifford's dubbed clamp stardom.

>> realizing this was untenable for the long terme, a local reptile buff stepped in to help house the babies temporarily. the moral of the story? >> no, don't scientists don't recommend it. >> but would they have done anything different? >> nothing really. i think he nailed it. >> i'm becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. >> it's very educational. i'm sure that's going to do it for abc seven news at four. abc seven news at five is coming up next

a recall. this is a wake up call both for the elected and also for the voters. >> there it is
