Accused of murdering the father of her two children. Opening statements were scheduled for today but that did not go according to plan. Abc 7 News Reporter chris reyes is live outside the hall of justice to explain exactly what happened today, chris. Reporter good afternoon. Thats exactly the right way to put it. It has felt like a series of false starts. Tiffany li and kevin bayat were inside the court house. This morning we were expecting Opening Statements but instead the judge briefed the jury for 20 minutes and sent them home. Opening statements have been delayed without any explanation. In a stunning development, the Prosecution Team just moments ago asking the judge to remand one of the key witnesses to custo custody. Olivier adella has pled guilty to dumping the body of keith green. The prosecution argued today that he broke the conditions of his plea deal, which included not using social media and contacting witnesses. Judge robert foils agreed just moments ago to remand adella into custody without bail. He is due back in court monday. Tiffany li walked in monday. Her coaccused kevin bayat has been in Police Custody and was escorted inside. Li has been under arrest at his hil hillsborough home. Any time she gets out, shes become a little agro phobic so shes more comfortable indoors. Reporter prosecutors say li and green were embroiled in a custody battle over their two children. Li and bayat have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Green disappeared in april 2016. A month later his body was sound in sonoma with a single bullet to the neck. Olivier adella pled guilty to dumping the body. He served three years in jail and is now free. He is considered a star witness in the trial. While lawyers were in and out of the courthouse today, they said very little. Mr. Wagstaff and i and the other defendants attorneys reached a gentlemans agreement a couple of weeks ago. We didnt want to try this extensively in the press. Reporter now, this trial has been about three years in the making. One of the reasons for the delay is that tiffany li last year was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Her lawyer telling us today that shes even lucky to be here. The trial is expected to last two to three months with 60 witnesses set to take the stand. Kris reyes for abc 7 news. We have breaking news out of concord. Sky 7 was overhead as police investigated after a man was found on fire. Police tell us they believe the man actually set himself on fire, but by accident. Paramedics driving in the area spotted the man and helped put out the flames. A helicopter then took him to uc davis medical center. His condition is unknown. New details now on a deadly boat fire off the Ventura County coast. As the National Transportation safety board releases its preliminary report, it came out just before salvage crews raised the boat, the conception, out of the water. The cause of that labor day fire that killed 34 people is still under investigation, but the preliminary report found that all six crew members were asleep when the fire broke out in the middle of the night. Part of the certificate for this vessel required that there be constantly a roving watchperson to keep an eye on the safety of the vessel. In the interviews to this point have indicated that that did not transpire. The coast guard says the conception passed its two most recent inspections without any safety violations. In the east bay, a man was injured when a roof collapsed at a home under construction. Sky 7 was over the scene on mccall street in oakland. The Fire Department says it had to rescue a man with its ladder truck. He was taken to the hospital. His condition hasnt been released. A City Engineer is inspecting that structure. One person was treated for minor injuries after a balcony collapsed at a condo in mountain view. It happened last night on the second story of a building on east middlefield road near highway 85. The Fire Department says several people were on the balcony but safely got back inside before it fully collapsed. The cause is under investigation. A huge Monterey Cypress is set to come down in San Franciscos Washington Square park tomorrow. A Neighborhood Group called friends of Washington Square claims this tree may be the parks first and its oldest, but an arborist says that tree is just diseased. You might recall this is the same park where a limb fell from a pine tree and seriously injure ad woman in 2016. She received 14 million from the city. Washington square park is currently closed for renovations. It appears the Rolling Stones cant get no satisfaction from the city of santa clara. The band rocked out at levis stadium last month and now were learning of some of the issues they say they encountered. Chris nguyen is live outside lea levis stadium with more. Reporter on one side youve got the city who says they want to protect their residents. On the other side is the Stadium Management team who is trying to make levis stadium a cantmiss destination here on the west coast. Either way you look at it, theres a lot of dysfunction here. This summer fans of the Rolling Stones were treated to a rescheduled show at levis stadium but they didnt know about the battle that was brewing behind the scenes between the tourist promoter and the city of santa clara. The bands Management Team blasting the city for micromanagement and imposing what they say were lastminute changes, including the socalled cancellation of a pyrotechnics show, additional inspections and restrictions to catering. In a letter to Stadium Management after the concert, promoter John Morrison do you not want touring shows anymore . The impression i and many others in the industry have is your facility is getting so restrictive and dysfunctional, its no longer worth the effort to play there due to the myriad and random rule changes. The 49ers, who manage daytoday operations at levis stadium released this statement saying by politicizing her administrative authority, the city manager jeopardized future events and guaranteed a decline in stadium revenue. Such stunts may appease mayor gillmor, but they continue to harm every santa clara resident. The rocky relationship between the city and the 49ers has been well documented over the years. Much has been said about the stadiums usual 10 00 p. M. Weekday curfew, which the team says has pushed multiple acts away. That wasnt an issue in this case, even though the concert was on a sunday. As for the fireworks, this document obtained by abc 7 news shows that the promoter did not include them on the application. Santa clara city manager Deanna Santana says the city has a responsibility to ensure that events comply with building and fire codes, which it did, and these requirements are well known. Is unfortunate that the 49ers regulatory function as excessive. The san jose state professor matt cabot who specializes in Public Relations said the two sides need to figure out how to fix this relationship. They need to get their act together, because at some point if it becomes untenable to be here, acts will decide to go somewhere else. Reporter the 49ers continue to point to some of these issues as reasons as to why they havent been able to draw bigger acts to the stadium. Were live in santa clara, im chris nguyen, abc 7 news. Chris, now youve got Chase Center Opening in San Francisco, a smaller venue. Youre not going to have the noise issues from neighbors, but that does mean that levis is facing more competition. Reporter absolutely, larry. Youve got chase center in San Francisco, coliseum across the bay, golden one to the north in sacramento plus newer venues in both los angeles and las vegas. So more competition for the levis, again, as they try to book these bigger acts. Its no longer just about competing against the bay area properties, its about making it known that they want more acts to come, competing against the west coast, other venues on the west coast. All right, chris nguyen reporting live for us tonight. Thank you, chris. A new Ferry Terminal is coming to alameda. Community leaders broke ground at the site today.

We have yet to see the likes of Elizabeth Warren and joe biden go headtohead onstage at the same time. That will change tonight.

Later an airplane could be seen circling the tsu campus trailing a banner that says socialism will kill houstons economy. Vote trump 2020. Its always going to be back to trump. I know this much. Trump will be watching. Reporter california senator Kamala Harris has already promised to go directly after the president in tonights debate as she tries to get her sagging numbers closer to the top three. And we learn the senator will be bringing a pair of Daca Recipients from Southern California with her as guests, so look for immigration as a topic of focus. And californians can also look for what will be running during the commercial breaks. California Billionaire Tom Steyer missed out on tonights debate by a single poll but may still be heard from after all. He has a lot of money, hes going to be heard. Well see what ads will be rolling during this debate. And it is fascinating to see that he was able to break through for the next debate. Reporter yes, steyer has already qualified for the next round of debates, which pushes the number of candidates on the stage in october to 11. That will break it back up into two separate nights. The top candidates will be on different stages which puts more import on tonights stage. We should see the fireworks begin to break out here in less than an hour. Reporting live from Texas Southern university in houston, jory rand, abc 7 news. Larry and ama back to you. Good job, jory. Tell us a little bit more about the mood there. The fireworks tonight and starting to feel amped up . Reporter yeah, well, we are in the spin room right now. You can see behind us there are about 500 seats for working members of the press. The spin room is unusually small for this one. They usually call it a spin room because its a room. This is just a pennedin area about a quarter the size of a basketball court. This is the Practice Court for Texas Southern university. Youre going to have ten Candidates Plus their surrogates plus hundreds of media members in this rather small area. Well see some fireworks in here as well, all of them trying to spin the night as if they won the event. It should be a lot of fun. Were looking forward to it getting going in a few minutes, guys. Thank you so much, we appreciate it. It sounds like the nba allstar game festivities where everybody is squished together to try to do the interviews. Tonights debate starts at 5 00 right after were done with abc 7 news at 4 00. Then a special news of abc 7 news immediately following the debate right around 8 00 p. M. The Trump Administration is rolling back one of the obama eras most sweeping environmental rules. The regulations being repealed by the epas new boss provide federal protection to many u. S. Wetlands and streams. President trump has promised to repeal the 2015 obama rule. Farmers, Home Builders and other business interests say the rule has harmed Economic Development and violates property rights. The move would leave millions of americans with less Safe Drinking Water and damage wetlands that prevent flooding. Lets get to the forecast. Spencer christian here and it is going to get hot for at least a day or so. Thats true. Its hot right now in most inland areas, going to be hotter tomorrow. Just a day or so and then a big cooldown is coming our way. Heres a live look at doppler 7. Sunny skies all across the bay area. Look at the 24hour temperature change. Its 15 degrees warmner in hayward than it was this time yesterday. Thats pretty much the picture all around the pay abay area. Looking out over alcatraz and the bay, its currently 82 here in San Francisco, 90 in oakland, redwood city, san jose 91. The view from emeryville looking at the golden gate looking at blue skies. Its 94 in santa rosa, 90 napa, 89 petaluma, 95 at fairfield and concord and 93 at nifr morliver. The view at santa cruz beach, it must be too hot because not many people are there. Well see tripledigit heat in many inland communities. Coastal cooling begins on saturday but it will remain hot inland. Then start on sunday going through tuesday it will be much cooler in all areas. Once again, spare the air alert is in effect for tomorrow. The poorest air quality is in the inland east bay and the santa clara valley. On we go to overnight conditions. Mainly clear skies, maybe a patch or two of coastal fog. Overnight lows will range from low and mid60s right around the bay to most inland areas. Up in the north bay lows will drop to the mid to upper 50s. The forecast animation shows fog, a little bit of it sliding down the coastline giving way to clear skies everywhere. Certainly sunny skies throughout the day tomorrow. And of course its going to be a hot one. Look for highs of 100 in cloverdale, 98 santa rosa, 95 napa, 100 fairfield, 102 at concord and antioch and livermore. 96 the high in san jose tomorrow, 96 fremont, 92 oakland and 87 here in San Francisco. Now, its going to be still quite warm inland on saturday with many inland areas in the upper 90s to about 100, but there will be significant cooling on saturday near the coast and bay. Further cooling in all areas on sunday as even inland locations will reach only into the low and mid80s and cooler still on monday. Maybe even a shower or two on monday. Heres the accuweather sevenday forecast. Once again, two days of very hot Coastal Cooling begins on st saturday. Cooler on sunday and a slight chan showers on monday. Temperatures remain in a steady pattern, no significant increases until the ending of the week by thursday of next week well see high temperatures inland, getting back up to 90 degrees. What a dropoff friday to monday, 22 degrees inland. Huge dropoff. A 10 to 15degree dropoff in a 24hour period and a 20degree drop off over a twoday period. Thats incredible.

You were at the first announcement years ago and now come to see the whole thing as it came together. Well, let me tell you, i remember meeting mark benioff during that big event in 2013 and thinking, number one, this guy loves engaging with the media and not all tech ceos do. And number two, hes also really passionate about investing in the future of our kids, and its not fake. Its real. Salesforce ceo mark benioff has always referred to the money he donates to schools in San Francisco and oakland as an investment in the future of those two cities. Our journey with them is only started. We are still at the beginning of what we can do. Its a promise benioff started in 2013 when he surprised everyone after donating ipads and money to all 12 middle schools in San Francisco. He assured everyone today that that investment over the past seven years is improving outcomes. More fulltime teachers for math and technology, a surge of kids who are enrolled in s. T. E. M. And computer science, more young women and more students of color, higher attendance rates, higher math scores. Reporter San Francisco mayor london breed says the money helps level the Playing Field among all students. Whether they want to take er when marc retires in a couple years sounds good. Were going to need the next generation to not only take over the world in all these amazing positions, but were going to also need you to save our planet. Reporter in 2016, that wealth was then shared with oakland schools. This year both districts combined will receive more than 17 million. 8. 5 million for San Francisco and 8. 7 million for oakland. Thats some serious cash. Reporter oakland mayor libby schaaf encouraged other companies to follow benioffs lead. I challenge other companies to do what salesforce has done, and that is put your money where your mouth is and put your love where your money is. I like that. So when you add it all up, salesforce has donated nearly 70 million, not to mention hours and hours of volunteer work by his employees. In the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news.

R. T. After 15 years of leasing space at the kaiser center, near lake merritt, the board voted to purchase a building thats nearby and spend millions of dollars renovating it. Its an expensive project that not everyone agrees is a good move for a Transit System plagued with other challenges, like homelessness, crime and problems with infrastructure like old rundown trains. Laura anthony is live. Laura. Reporter hi, ama. The new headquarters is slated to go into this building behind me. This morning the b. A. R. T. Board overwhelmingly approved this plan to buy instead of continue leasing, but not everyone is onboard. Staying here is really not an option because it will become much more expensive. Reporter to the b. A. R. T. Board president , it just makes good economic sense. In an 81 vote b. A. R. T. Directors approved the purchase and renovation of a building in downtown oakland, a 227 million project that would become the districts new headquarters in 2021. We have the ability to purchase this building and have an asset, were going to pay not just towards burning money on rent, well have an excellent building at 2150 webster which will be a better place for the public to go and very accessible. Reporter he says the purchase would save b. A. R. T. 210 million over the next two and a half decades as the cost of leasing the Current Location is set to go up 60 . The webster project will be financed by a 25year sales tax bond. In the future that sales tax revenue will have already been borrowed out. Reporter b. A. R. T. Director debra allen voted against the project. I think we could reduce that cost substantially moving a little further out of the oakland area. We do not need to be in class a office space for b. A. R. T. Id rather they invested in security. Reporter some riders believe b. A. R. T. Directors should focus their attention on fixing whats wrong with the from it systtran not on the purchase of a new headquarters. There are too many people that are not able to pay their fare and hop and cheat the system. Then theres security issues. Then theres the people they hire and pay too many salaries too much salary to. Its just crazy. I dont know that the building is the best answer, but reporter now, b. A. R. T. Claims the issuing of the bonds will not result in any higher fares or higher taxes and that it does not need voter approval. In oakland, laura anthony, abc 7 news. Laura, thank you so much. We do want to hear your ideas about building a betterbay area. Share them by joining our better bay area facebook group. New details on yet another delay in San Franciscos central subway construction project. Service is now not expected to begin until 2021. When the project broke ground in 2010, the subway was expected to be open by the end of 2018, but delays have plagued this project which will extend the t third muni line from the caltrain station at fourth and king through union square and into chinatown. Mistakes were made in this project. New people were hired to lead this project. Sadly, that has resulted in a significant delay. The Municipal Transportation Agency says next week its board will be asked to approve a new contract date. Construction is anticipated to finish next year, but then a year of testing is needed beyond that. The runway reconstruction project at San Francisco international airport, they have reached the Halfway Point and theyre 48 hours ahead of schedule. Live picture here at sfo where runway 28l has been closed since saturday to allow crews to repair fatigue cracking in the pavement. 28l serves 68 of airport traffic so the project along with high winds have caused thousands of flight delays and many cancellations.

All right, thank you, spencer. We are now about 20 minutes away from abc news live coverage of the democratic president ial debate in houston. A live picture inside the auditorium at Texas Southern university. This is the third debate of this Campaign Season among the democrats. This one is different from the others. Abc News Reporter mona joins us from houston. Well, she was there and now shes gone but ill ask the question anyway there you are how is this debate different from the other debates weve seen previously . Reporter well, first, larry, this debate is only one night where the other two were two separate nights and its the first that features only ten candidates. That is because in order to qualify for this debate, there was a polling and donor threshold. Candidates needed at least 2 in four qualifying polls and also 130,000 unique donors. These are the ten candidates that made that cut. Its also unique because its the first time were seeing the top democrat candidates share one stage. Weve also seen in the previous debates that candidates gang up on the frontrunner, and right now thats joe biden. Do you expect that to be the case tonight where biden will be targeted by some of the others . Reporter well, ahead of the debate we heard from a lot of candidates say they are not looking to attack the other democratic candidates. Theyre looking to take on donald trump and show how theyre the best candidate to do that. But ahead of the debate, we saw former Vice President joe biden take an indirect jab at Elizabeth Warren. Lets not forget Kamala Harris standout moment in the last debate when she went after joe biden. But it seems that more and more democratic voters are turned off when the candidates do go against each other and want the candidates instead to go after donald trump. So it might be not to their favor to go after biden. I want to ask you a followup on that, because Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, they have appeared at other debates together and havent really gone after each other. Do you think that will change . Or picking up on your last point, will the target really be more about going after the president . Reporter right. Whats interesting is that both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, they are essentially their biggest competition, not biden. Theyre going after the same voter group. For them, the best thing to do tonight is show voters how they differentiate from each other, particularly in when it comes to health care and how their plans are different and that would be their best bet for them instead of going after each other to just show voters how they differ. Mona, is there a sense of one particular candidate or maybe one or two that may be polling below some of the rest that really has to have a big night tonight . Reporter well, it does seem that the lower polling candidates need that breakthrough moment, that moment that will give them a boost, for example, when Kamala Harris went after joe biden, she saw a boost in the polls and that was her standout moment. Really the stakes are high for everyone. One way to look at it is that its opening day and this is the first time that we are seeing from the top or hearing from the top ten candidates. A lot of voters now want to see, especially as we inch closer to 2020 how they differentiate and who is the best candidate to go after donald trump. So it seems that the stakes are really high for everyone. Okay, thanks so much. Tonights debate starts at 5 right after abc 7 news at 4 00 so were about 17 minutes away.

Its a 15acre outdoor art exhibit, but the uk artist, bruce monroe, the largest of its kind in the world. Approximately four years ago. Ken and bobbi hunter went to the australian outback and suddenly at dusk these beautiful lights came on at the base of it. Then there were pathways we could walk through the lights and we came back and thought what a bag of any sent thing to have in our field here. We met bruce monroe. He said i could light this field for you. We said do it. Its 60,000 optic fibered lights with glass balls on the top. It is entirely powered by solar. But as the sun starts to set, which as you can see is starting to happen right now, the lights will turn a very pale pink. By the time it gets dark, theyre jewel tone.
