A warning from president obama to iran after that country agreed to limit its nuclear cape abilities. Abc 7 News Reporter Wayne Freedman has reaction on this groundbreaking agreement. To put this in perspective one could argue that after today, relations between the United States and iran have probably never been better since the takeover of the u. S. Embassy in 1969. Not that the relations are good yet, but at least now there is some reason for hope. This was not just any stroll along lake geneva. The photo op was close to a decade in the making, probably longer. We have a very serious problem of confidence mutual lack of confidence we need to address, and we hope that this process will remedy some of that. Its an agreement to agree between iran and six world powers which include the United States. Iran has agreed to restrictions and inspections that will prevent it from building a Nuclear Weapon, in return for lifting of economic sanctions. Iran cheats, the world will know it. We have stopped a cycle that was not in the interest of anybody. Interesting nonetheless to middle eastern experts and scholars including dr. Steven zunis at the university of San Francisco. Its possible to open things up a little bit. Especially as the sanctions are lifted. Sayings as a discussion of irans human rights record. A dismal one by most accounts. At unite for iran. A nonprofit in berkeley theyre hopeful the nuclear discussions may be in human rights discussions. Allow iranians to voice their opinions. Put who they want in power. All of which may qualify as looking ahead for now. This agreement in principle could take weeks or months of finetuned negotiating. In San Francisco, Wayne Freedman, abc 7 news. Did you feel it . The 3. 6 magnitude quake in the east bay that hit at 12 06 this morning. The u. S. Geological survey says the quake was centered one mile northwest of san ramon. It was 6 miles underground. No real damage and no one injured. Seismologyists have proven the heyward and callabarras faults are connected. Making a quake more destructive. They estimate a 6. 7 or greater quake on the heyward fault is more than 14 likely in the next 30 years. More than 7 likely. A simultaneous rupture would create a quake 2. 5 times greater at a 7. 3 magnitude. And now there is this. Only on abc 7 news this evening, we have learned that San Franciscos police chief has finished his investigation into the racist texts sent between members of the department. People will lose their jobs vic . There were four officers under investigation. That number expanded to 13 including a captain. She told us he will ask the Police Commission to fire at least three of those cops with more discipline to come. The officers that go for recommendation will be suspended immediately and that will be tomorrow before close of business. He confirmed to abc 7 news what we had heard from our sources. At least three officers will be suspended with a recommendation to the Police Commission that they be fired. The offensive tests were released during a bail hearing last month for former sfpd officer, he was convicted of public corruption in a federal court last december. The texts were exchanged between ferminger and four other sources. Swab has resigned the other three were reassigned to units with no public contact. I applaud him for seeing the light, however, reverend brown president of the San Francisco chapter of the naacp says there needs to be more reform.

The neighbors thought the loud noise was a garbage truck. A cloud of dust was in the air and mr. Powell was trapped under a collapsed wall, an old tv and some luck kept it from crushing him. Yesterday i got bit by a pit bull right there. Today a house fell on me. This is what the house looked like before it collapsed. A few neighbors say they noticed it was leaning precariously to one side. One of them decided to take pictures. The next door neighbors house has been red tagged.
