electronic arts is dropping rice from its recently released madden video game. the ravens have announced they are planning to offer an exchange for ray rice jerseys and also, rice's wife standing by her husband. she calls this a horrible nightmare and released a statement to defend him and attacking those who are going after him. >> here is part of janay rice's statement. to make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. to take something away from the man i love that he had worked for all his life to just gain ratings is horrific. this is our life. if your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you have succeeded on so many levels. >> nfl commissioner roger goodell did an interview with cbs this afternoon and said the nfl asked for the video and anything else that was pertinent to the rice incident, but was never granted that opportunity. now, let me point out a couple of things here. when nfl teams go to and from stadiums in their buses, they have police escorts. on game days, the stadiums are staffed with police who handle everything from traffic to security. when we were at the super bowl in new orleans two years ago, state troopers and the fbi locked down the entire perimeter of that stadium. the nfl works hand in hand with local, state and federal law enforcement all the time, 24/7, 365. now, where was the super bowl held last year? new jersey, the same state ray rice hit his fiancee. nfl security had to be in lockstep with new jersey officials on a myriad of issues regarding the super bowl so the notion that the nfl could somehow be stonewalled by local new jersey law enforcement and denied access to a video that tmz obtained really stretches the imagination. maybe roger goodell didn't want to see the video, we don't know, but his explanations so far simply do not add up. let's move on to the 49ers and the ceo who today addressed ray rice's case, saying he agrees with the way the nfl is handling the situation. >> they did their due diligence. they waited for the evidence. it would have been nice if they may have maybe acted sooner, but from what i have been able to read and tell, it didn't seem like they had access to it and i don't know any of the answers to some of those questions. >> york also says rice's case should have no bearing on a domestic violence case against niners defensive tackle ray mcdonald. mcdonald is still playing with the team while facing possible criminal charges. york says he will not punish mcdonald until that investigation is complete. he also told knbr radio that the players collective barri bargai agreement makes it difficult for teams to take action against players. today, san francisco supervisor introduced a resolution denouncing the niners for allowing mcdonald to continue to play. coming up, new on abc 7 news at 5:00, we talk to a local domestic violence clinic about the two cases and how social media is helping to push their agenda. right now, crews are searching for a missing hayward teenager who got into an argument with his dad saturday afternoon before walking off into the woods near clover road. sky 7 hd shows that searchers are looking for signs of the 16-year-old. this was taken this afternoon. his family said he's never run away before. he is a good student, good kid and they are particularly concerned that he's been missing for three full days now. a canine unit has joined in the search effort but so far, has been unable to pick up a scent. the crowd was in full rapture this morning when apple's ceo tim cook unveiled the apple watch, the new wearable device. the apple watch will be available early next year with a starting price of $349. apple also introduced two new larger iphones with bigger screens and new horizontal viewing mode but the new smart watch seemed to steal the show. >> the watch took very deep thinking and out of this came some truly remarkable innovations. >> apple also unveiled a system for using your phone to make credit card payments called apple pay. apple says several retailers including macy's and whole foods have already agreed to accept payments using apple pay. >> apple's big announcement did have a few hickups for fans trying to watch the large screen online. >> tiffney wilson joins us live with that part of the story. tiffany? >> reporter: well, ama and larry, thousands of people took to twitter with complaints about that livestream. my favorite was you know apple, there's a really solid way to deliver video content to a whole lot of folks at once. it's called television. inside tech hot spots, apple devices are as common as the coffee. >> i'm one of the original mac fans. >> reporter: like thousands of other fans around the world, steve phillips tried to watch it live, failed. the stream started late, then he heard a foreign translator dubbed over tim cook. consider him lucky. others saw the black screen of doom. >> it was a little ironic that this technological giant was having technological issues with their livestream. >> reporter: on twitter, the reaction wasn't as kind. we live in a world where taylor swift can deliver a more reliable livestream than apple. and quite possibly the worst stream i have ever seen apple produce. this is an absolute train wreck. and well, in 1969, nasa managed to livestream the moon landing. maybe apple live should have prerecorded. actually, nasa used a satellite and apple eventually got its stream working. >> i think people forget it pretty quickly. it's kind of a minor blip on the radar. >> reporter: brian jager turned to the liveblog for more information on the iphone 6. he's planning to upgrade. >> i just need the next version. >> reporter: he won't have to wait long. the new phone will be released at stores september 19th. danny is more excited about the latest entry into wearable technology, the apple watch. >> it's apple, right? they do everything better. >> reporter: just consider him an unpaid company spokesperson. his friend will be right next to him in line. >> i always buy the latest and greatest and apple always seems to deliver beyond your expectations. >> reporter: part of that delivery, the new apple pay. expect the digital wallet to go live next month. tiffany wilson, abc 7 news. >> join us for abc's world news tonight. david muir will be in cupertino for an apple exclusive. the family of a half moon bay teenager killed by a san mateo sheriff's deputy filed a civil lawsuit against the county. the 18-year-old seen in this family video was struck last june when officers responded to a disturbance. the family says they called 911 because she hadn't taken her medicine for schizophrenia. she was found outside her home holding a knife. she was shot and killed. the family says she had already calmed down. >> there was nobody in the immediate vicinity. there was nobody he was protecting. he created the threat, he created the emergency, he created the danger. >> the deputy says he feared for his life. the san mateo county district attorney chose not to file any charges. the mexican consulate in san francisco will also file a federal civil rights complaint against the county. service on san francisco's popular f line was suspended temporarily today after a streetcar crashed into a tour bus. this happened right where the tracks curve from stewart street on to market. apparently the tour bus stopped too close to those tracks. the driver of the streetcar tried to get through but as it hit the curb, the rear scraped against the tour bus, jamming those two vehicles together. nobody was hurt from the impact. a napa man is paying it forward, traveling to another state to rebuild homes for those who lost everything to a natural disaster. >> but for gary pierce, this is an even more extraordinary effort given the damage his own home suffered in last month's 6.0 earthquake. >> abc 7 news reporter laura anthony is live in napa. laura? >> reporter: this is one of about 150 homes or buildings actually that were red-tagged after last month's quake and each has its own story. in this case, it involves a man who clearly lost so much but is still honoring his commitment to go to another state to help others. >> it's how far the house fell down. >> reporter: it's been a little more than two weeks. since gary pierce's napa home was knocked off its foundation by an earthquake. unfortunately, not much has changed since. the house is still in shambles, a red tag ablaze near the front door. while engineers say the late 19th century structure can be saved, it may be too expensive for pierce and his father. >> we are still investigating the possibility of getting it razed and put back on its foundation or building a new foundation under it. we have had people here today that told us anything is possible depending how much money you want to spend. >> reporter: if they can't save the house, it will have to be demolished. >> you see where the floods slid apart. >> reporter: the 60-year-old plans to keep a commitment he made before the quake. to go to colorado this weekend, where he will spend two weeks rebuilding homes for those who lost theirs to last year's devastating floods. any thought of canceling and staying here? >> no. no. i made a commitment. i made a commitment to my church and the my people and to god and i will follow through. this happened, why, i don't know, but god has a reason for that, too. >> reporter: besides, pierce told us, there isn't a whole lot he can do here until he and his brother, brian, decide the fate of their old house. laura anthony, abc 7 news. still ahead on abc 7 news at 4:00, a woman screams and shoves a man off his scooter and then runs over him twice. why the man says the video doesn't tell the whole story. also remembering the bay area stunt pilot killed at the reno air races. he was an undersea adventurer as

given says cox suffers from mental illness but stopped taking her medication and then started drinking. he did not want her arrested. >> i wasn't hit and it was a thing of just trying to stop someone from drinking and driving. >> the woman who recorded this incident called the police. they arrested cox on charges of driving while intoxicated. reports say she was high on meth. a san jose stunt pilot is being remembered today as more than a daredevil but rather, a true explorer. >> lee biel was killed when his plane crashed at the reno air races yesterday. as abc 7 news reporter nick smith found out, he embraced living on the edge beneath the sea as well. >> he's the kind of character they make movies about. but he's the real thing. >> reporter: the real thing and a good friend. graham is struggling with the loss of his friend and colleague, 64-year-old retired air force fighter pilot, lee biel. lee was killed when his plane, this osprey gp-5 sweet dreams crashed during a qualifying event for the national championship air races in reno. >> i can tell you he loved that stuff. he was built for that. he was made for it. he was doing what he wanted to do for sure. >> reporter: they had a friendship rooted in a shared love of flight and exploration. it was graham that introduced the veteran pilot to the adventures of taking his sky high flying skills below the surface. >> he signed up to learn to fly under water. >> reporter: this is lee at the controls of the deep flight personal submarine designed and built by graham. lee was one of three people trained as pilot and command. graham recalled the moment when student became teacher. >> i didn't know he could fly that well. just perfect. and i remember thinking what the heck do i do, i can't teach this guy anything. >> reporter: the plane piloted by lee biel went down in an area of the reno race course called high g ridge. the cause of the accident is being investigated by the federal aviation administration and the national transportation safety board. lee was a former aerial champion who founded the sport class division. >> i mean, he was a big part of our lives. it's a huge loss. it's a huge loss to so many people. he was a great guy. >> reporter: lee owned stevens creek porsche audi which he sold two years ago. he was the 19th pilot to die in the 51-year history of the races. >> aviation is dangerous and all of us doing any flight testing, somebody has to go to the edge. >> reporter: life on the edge by a man friends say enjoyed charting his own course. nick smith, abc 7 news. there has been a new mountain lion sighting in the bay area today, in woodside. the san mateo county sheriff's office says the adult mountain lion and three cubs were seen in popular wunderlich county park this morning. the big cats are often the most dangerous when when their young. the sheriff and park rangers say avoid hiking or jogging at dusk and dawn. despite a sighting less than 20 miles from where another mountain lion attacked a 6-year-old boy on sunday. >> game wardens stepped up their search for that aggressive animal today. abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield has more. >> reporter: a new trap was brought in this morning to try to capture the mountain lion. they now have four traps set. they also moved one to another hopefully better location but say it's hard to guess where he will be or if he is even still in the area. they also added four more dogs to the hunt this morning. so with seven dogs and four traps, they are trying to close in on the mountain lion. >> there are certainly tracks, scents that the dogs are following, but lions don't move in a linear fashion. they crisscross and the path goes back and forth over itself. sometimes the dogs are going in circles following the path and we just don't know at this point if it's still in the area or not. all we can do is keep looking. >> reporter: the mountain lion attacked a 6-year-old boy sunday afternoon as he hiked with family and friends. the boy suffered from bite wounds and scratches but has been released from the hospital. his family is seclusion and do not want to speak publicly. experts say this kind of attack is unusual and they are determined to find the animal. they involved the california department of fish and wildlife lab in sacramento to help. >> saliva and hair samples from the animal so they can extract the dna and if we do catch the cat down here, they can match it and make sure it is the right one. it's highly unlikely we would get the wrong one because these dogs are tracking a particular scent and the dogs will be able to let us know if it's the right cat. but still, we want to double-check and make sure. >> reporter: no word yet on when they will call off the search. the last mountain lion attack in california was two years ago and that time, they looked for six days but never found the animal. amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. let's get a check of the forecast. >> spencer christian is outside with the forecast. hey, spencer. >> lovely day in the bay area. as we have had for the last couple days. it is going to get really hot towards the end of the week. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd. sunny skies from coast to inland, a few clouds in some locations along the coastline but it's mainly sunny. i'm going to go take a look at the golden gate bridge right now. a few clouds overhead there but it's bright and mainly clear at the golden gate. we don't have the usual push of low clouds and fog. these are the forecast pictures. warming trend begins tomorrow, continues thursday and into the weekend. actually, we will have a string of hot days inland and a light sea breeze will be present near the coastline. up in northernmost part of the state, wildfires continue to burn and along with that smoke, it's being carried down through the sacramento valley into parts of the bay area, particularly into the east bay, where smoke advisory is in effect for wednesday and thursday. if you smell smoke in the air, it might be a good idea to limit your outdoor activity as there will be an increase in particulate matter in the air. although at the moment, we don't expect it to be at dangerous levels. the satellite image shows a large area of high pressure that is just going to dominate our weather picture. it's settling in right now. it is assisting the flow of that smoke from the northern california fires down in our direction, and on we go to overnight conditions. look for some areas of fog near the coast but it won't be very foggy. we don't expect much of it to travel inland overnight. low temperatures will be pleasantly cool, mainly mid 50s, some upper 50s closer to the bay. then tomorrow, lots of sunshine, a nice warm to hot day in the south bay where we will see high temperatures ranging from mid 80s at santa clara and san jose, cupertino, up to low to mid 90s at morgan hill and gilroy. on the peninsula, you will be warm to hot as well with mostly mid 80s, 84 in redwood city, 83, mountain view. mid to upper 60s on the coast to near 70 at half moon bay tomorrow. downtown san francisco will have a high of 71. look for 67 in the sunset district. up in the north bay, sunny, warm, mid to upper 80s in the north bay valleys of santa rosa sonoma. 81 at union city, 82 at fremont and inland east bay will be quite warm to hot with highs in the mid 90s generally, 94 and livermore, antioch and fairfield. check out thursday, friday and saturday. inland highs in the mid to upper 90s, mid 80s around the bay and low 70s on the coast. friday, saturday and sunday, temperatures will begin to moderate early next week. so it's not one of those triple digit heat waves coming our way but when it's 96, 97, 98 degrees, what's another couple degrees. might as well be 100. >> thank you, spencer. ♪ up next, u2 rocked at today's apple event. there is always an element of risk but i suppose it was worth the risk. >> whoa. are you kidding? a bay area man's

in san jose today, city council members voted to let police officers tap into residents' home surveillance cameras to keep an eye out on what's happening in the city. abc 7 news reporter vic lee joins us at city hall with the story. vic? >> reporter: well, the vote was a given. no real opposition here at city hall. some privacy groups, of course, concerned about the big brother issue. but the most significant questions raised about this registry came not from them, but from the police union. the program seemed simple enough. property and business owners voluntarily register their security cameras on a new san jose police data base. >> when a burglary or robbery occurs in the neighborhood, the police will know by simply looking at a google map who they can call in the neighborhood to ask for permission to look at videotape. >> reporter: supporters look to the string of arson attacks that terrorized downtown san jose in january. this video identified and led to the arrest of the suspected arsonist. jeff levine is the resident who owns that security system. >> there were many video systems in use. this investigation could have been sped up had the location of these systems been known ahead of time. >> reporter: city councilman sasam lacardo says it's worked in other cities that have the program. >> we have seen in philadelphia in a period of less than two years over 200 arrests resulted from the use of a video camera registry like this one. >> reporter: but the police officers association asks with 400 fewer cops and an exodus of officers, where are the resources to make the arrests quickly once the camera has identified the criminals. >> this policy does nothing to address response times that have doubled, arrests that have gone in half, solve rate for crimes that's much less than the national average. >> reporter: it's hard finding opponents among merchants we spoke with in the willow glen business district. michelle has eight cameras mounted in her

prime time speech to the nation tomorrow night. the white house says the president has the authority he needs to take action against the islamic state fighters. abc news reporter karen travers has the latest on the situation in iraq. >> reporter: in a rare prime time address on wednesday, president obama will make his case for a stepped-up u.s. campaign to fight the threat from isis. >> this is an important opportunity for the president to communicate a very important message about our priorities and our national security to the american public. >> reporter: a large majority of americans support u.s. air strikes in syria, driving that support the fact that 91% of americans said they see isis posing a vital threat to u.s. interests. but the public sees president obama as being too cautious in his response to isis. tomorrow night's address may not change their minds. mr. obama's not expected to make any major announcements. today at the white house, president obama met with bipartisan congressional leaders, republicans are demanding more specifics. >> it's time for president obama to exercise some leadership in launching a response. >> reporter: what the president will do wednesday night is outline the broader u.s. strategy against isis, including expanded air strikes in iraq. there have been more than 150 over the last month. also, targeting isis safe havens in syria but how is unclear. >> the notion that the united states should be putting boots on the ground i think would be a profound mistake. >> reporter: a u.s. air campaign into syria doesn't appear imminent and white house officials are suggesting that completely rooting out isis there could be a job that falls to the next president. the u.s. will also look to step up its efforts to train and equip iraqi forces to fight isis there. president obama will say the newly formed iraqi government is a critical first step to more stability. karen travers, abc news, washington. abc 7 news will

twitter employees in san francisco and across europe as revenge for shutting down isis accounts. isis has attempted to use twitter to spread its propaganda and news of the killings of two american journalists spread quickly on the site. a twitter spokesperson released a statement saying the company's security team is working with law enforcement to investigate those threats. convicted terrorism plotter jose padilla received a new prison sentence today. a u.s. district court judge sentenced padilla to 21 years after an appeals court ruled his original term of 17 years was too lenient. padilla
