And so right now again, the baby is at Lucille Packard childrens hospital. We dont know his condition. They are monitoring him. Everyone thankful he is alive. Thank you. We are following developing news out of San Francisco where a tree came down on two cars. It happened about 3 p. M. At 38th and clement in the Outer Richmond district. Fortunately no injuries. Firefighters say a man was driving by in a porsche when the tree came crashing down on his car. He was able to get out safely. The our car was parked a white audi. No word why the tree came down but there have been strong winds in the bay area over the past few days. The oakland as have their sights set on a piece of lapd near lake merritt for the teams new stadium. The land right off of interstate 880 is adjacent to laney college. The team will have to negotiate with the Peralta Community College District to bit 13 acres of land. Its just a short walk from the lake merritt bart station. Many fans are supportive. But some people who live near the site are already voicing their opposition. Oakland mayor libby schaaf had this reaction to the announcement. I dont believe in publicly financed sports facilities. But today we heard that the as are going to both stay and pay for their own facility in oakland. And this is good news. Its easy to say yes, very easy to say no, but at times you need to say, oh, we need to consider, you know, what can be, what what what it is that, um, we can do with this opportunity that may be positive what may be negative. I think we need to explore all of that. Again, the as are hoping to make a deal with the district and get that new ballpark built in time for opening date of the 2023 season. Our Sports Reporter joe fonzi with us now. Could this change the trajectory of the team in the years to come . Right now, the way the as are, every time they get a good player, they trade him or just let him go. Reporter they have been saying that havent they . They have been saying that they do that because they have to have a young bunch of guys for that new stadium when it gets there. Well, its apparently now close to getting here anyway. The as have been saying for some time that the key to success on the field is the knowledge that theres a new stadium in the works. They will now get a chance to put their money where their mouth is. The as today were true to their m. O. , trade your veteran players for prospects if youre a longtime follower you had to know this was coming. The trade deadline has passed but reporter just this summer the as have seen a parade of popular veteran players shipped off. Steven vogt, sonny gray, sean doolittle, oaklands 2017 all star representative Yonder Alonso preceded by the likes of josh donald son, Yoenis Cespedes and tim hudson, to name a few. The management philosopher has been to unload players before they get expensive in exchange for prospects who may or may not become stars of the future. So why should as fans think anything will be different with a new stadium as far as six years out . Having the ballpark and even knowing we have the Revenue Streams in the ballpark in five or six years that will help us retain talent, pay for them and make sure we keep the team together. Reporter that has to be knew sick to the ears of as fans that has to be music to the ears of as fans who have watched their favorite players be routinely traded away. Assuming they are still on the team, the current crop of as will be free agents about the time the new stadium is built. So does that mean a fan can actually go out and buy a matt chapman jersey and expect he will be around for a while . Thats the plan to have the revenue base like the giants or some of these other teams to have the players with us for the long hall. Fans love to be connected to players so this ballpark is so essential for our success. Its important to understand that the fans are really first. And the fans in many ways own the team and you steward the team through different eras. We have a ton of history. We have 116 years of history going all the way back to philadelphia. And its just my job and our groups job to make sure we take it to the next level. And if we can get a great ballpark built here in oakland to solidify those roots, put the roots down even deeper, i think that will lead to our success. Reporter the as are going in a familiar formula. Years ago baseball teams and football teams shared huge stadiums. The new park would allow businesses to spring up around them and be more international. Some hope it happens here too. Lets be honest. They just wrecked the coliseum when they brought the raiders back by building that mount davis and taking away the outfield there. I mean, it seems to me that a new stadium would certainly make the fans experience better than it is now. Reporter as you said, its been in the works for so long and people have been talking about it but its been proven to be a successful formula in other parts of the country of. The thought used to be that you could have baseball teams and football teams sharing the same stadium. And they are just such different needs. You can have football teams out by the freeway with ten dates a year and people arriving in their rvs and that time of thing. Not the same for baseball where theres 81 dates and you want to be walking distance from where things are happen. They had a beautiful stadium proposal along the water what do you think they like better about the one by lake merritt . Because its walking distance to downtown . I would say. They are both close to bar. Obviously the coliseum bart station has been handy for some time. The new proposed site is close to the lake merritt bart station but i think its that concept, again if you looks across the bay when theres a game going on in that china basin area, theres a vibe on the street. You walk from businesses, you can do lots of different things. You can park your car somewhere, walk to the stadium. There isnt that dynamic happening right now out at the coliseum as isolated as it is out there. Thats what they are hoping for anyway. Joe, thank you. Sure. Ucberkeley is once again getting ready for possible protests over an appearance by a rightwing author who is coming to speak on campus tomorrow night. This is the latest round in the debate over the free speech rights of conservative voices in liberal berkeley. Ktvus ken wayne is in the newsroom with how the campus is getting ready and what the organizers are saying. Reporter frank, uc police will be setting up a large security perimeter around seller back hall where ben shapiro is set to speak tomorrow night. The Campus College republicans invited him and during the four on 2, they hope police will crackdown on violent protestors. I hope they take a stand against these antifa thugs and stands up against these leftist criminals. I hope they protect attendees who just want to hear a different perspective and viewpoint that is never heard at ucberkeley. Berkeley police are prepared for demonstrations just like we saw back in february for a planned speech by another former breitbart editor, Milo Yiannopoulos. And they will have a new tool to use. The Berkeley City Council last night voted to lift a 20year ban on the use of pepper spray. Ben shapiro on fox and friends this morning painted universities like ucberkeley as machines for creating leftist who cant tolerate conservative ideas. I think the theme who are really disadvantaged by the leftism of universities people in the middle and on the left because they never hear a dissenting view. You never hear anybody with a different point of view and you come up with this notion by democrats that everybody on the right because you have never heard a rightwing argument, everybody on the right must be a nazi and they are worth punching. Shapiro plans to say in his speech that violence in political settings is inappropriate and he stands against racism, sexism, bigotry and homophobia. Heres the area that will be affected by the security measures tomorrow night and including sproul hall, the student union, and etchle man hall. Police plan to have the perimeter in place by 4 00 tomorrow afternoon. Berkeley Police Say Officers will arrest any protestors who carry weapons or wear masks. This is a runup to a bigger event planned by Milo Yiannopoulos that he is calling, free speech week. Thats supposed to kick off on september 24 but campus Officials Say the series of events with controversial figures including ann coulter and steve bannon does not yet have the required per police. Frank and julie . Ten wayne in our newsroom, thanks ken wayne in our newsroom, thanks, ken. A fundraiser drive to help a berkeley hot dog vendor raised more than 70,000.

We had a few sprinkles in San Francisco this afternoon but its that winding down theres that funnel cloud we talked about. Tornado warning up on lake tahoe today. That has since expired. The Tornado Warning. But boy, a spectacular sight up there. We come back, we are going to talk about what you can expect for the rest of the week. First, new at 6 00, disturbing details on an animal abuse case in the east bay. A puppy severely beaten allegedly by the dogs owner. He is absolutely remorseful that his dog got hurt.

The puppy was beaten so severely that its now undergoing facial reconstructive surgery. This as the dogs owner made his first court appearance. Ktvus Cristina Rendon live now in the newsroom with more. Reporter we understand the surgery is just wrapping up at a vet who. In dublin. We are told the publicitys injuries were more severe than thought with both sides of the jaw broken. We want to warn you, some of the pictures are disturbing. This one is criminal in nature. This was over the top. Very disturbing what was done to the dog. Reporter allie is a 9month old pit bull puppy rescued by Good Samaritans and taken in by Animal Services in alameda county. Sergeant kelly says the dog was beaten with a wooden dowell at the hands of her owner in the garage of a home in hayward. Allie hid and survived. Had she been an older dog, we probably would have had to have put her down. But she is such a resilient dog and what really stood out about her was her personality and her charm. Reporter both sides of allies top jaw are broken. She has a missing tooth and bruising on her back and on her back legs. At a vet center in dublin she went into surgery wednesday afternoon. At the same time, her owner was down the street appearing in court. All right. Let the record reflect that he is present and in custody. Reporter the man from hayward pleaded not guilty to a felony animal cruelty charge. A prosecutor argued against releasing the 23yearold on his own recognizance. The defendant gave a statement to police admitting to pretty much all of it including the fact that he used not only his fist but a 6foot wooden rod to beat the dog with. Reporter she says her client is distressed by what happened and has no criminal history. He is absolutely, um, remorseful that his dog, um, got hurt. I mean, he he didnt mean to do this. He is a good man. He just it was just a bad day. Reporter bail for the man was 10,000 and the dog will never go back to that home in hayward. Just a baby starting out her life. Obviously this was not a good start to her in regards to abuse. But someone will give her a wonderful life. Reporter trivalley is collecting donations to pay for the cost of the surgery and theres also a lot of interest in her. She will be available for adoption later after she recovers. Im wondering when the Attorney Says he didnt mean to do this [ pause ] what does she mean . What did he mean to do . Reporter she said he was having a bad day and theres a big question as to what may have sparked this beating. We understand that a possible motive could have been that the dog, um, went to the bathroom in a place it wasnt supposed to and then that possibly angered the owner . Again that could have been a factor. Its under investigation. But when we did talk to the attorney, she said he is completely remorseful. He didnt mean to do and he was just having a rough day. We hope the dog allie finds a good home. Thank you, cristina. Now to santa rosa where Police Hope Surveillance Video will lead to an arrest in their search for an armed bank robber. It happened about 11 a. M. This morning at the chase bank. The man had a black bandana, took out a gun and demanded money from the teller. No injuries.

But at the same time, supervisors are also dropping plans for a 1,000 fine for littering in dolores park. That part of the proposal was cut because opponents said the steep fine would unfairly penalize low income residents. [ music ] and about 4 00 this afternoon, this appeared up on lake tahoe. You can see it looks like a little funnel there. But if you look down, you see the water vapor trail. Thats the funnel reaching the lake itself. Thats a waterspout basically. They did issue a Tornado Warning up there at around 4 00 because if that thing moves on land, its conditioned a tornado although weak.
