People living in Encino have been buying 30 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.120 guns and higher private security firms because of a rash 31 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.760 of armed burglaries in their neighborhoods. Residents are saying police 32 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.560 aren't doing enough to protect them from repeating burglaries. LAPD 33 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.599 investigators have said that an organized crime ring may be 34 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.120 behind the burglaries. The US women's soccer and basketball teams 35 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.080 are in action at the Olympics today. The women's soccer 36 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.360 players are taking on Brazil in the gold medal match. 37 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.439 The basketball team plays its semi final game against Australia. 38 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.199 We're going to get the latest from Paris with ABC's 39 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.840 Innez de La Katera.

Mortgage rates have 45 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.919 fallen to their lowest level in more than a year. 46 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.719 They'll tell you where they are and whether they're going 47 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.039 to keep on falling. Let's get started with some of 48 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.719 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 49 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.879 Governor Newsom has threatened to take state money away from 50 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.120 any county that does not make a better effort to 51 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.039 help the homeless. He was in Mission Hills yesterday helping 52 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.120 to clear a homeless camp. Newsom says homelessness is a 53 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.560 crisis and local government needs to step up. He again 54 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.840 criticized La County for not doing anything to clear out 55 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.039 homeless camps, even though he signed an executive order last month. 56 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.560 Newsom's office says the state has spent twenty four billion 57 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.159 dollars to clean up camps and move people off streets. 58 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.199 The wildfire burning near Chico and northern California continues to 59 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.240 challenge firefighters. The fast spreading fire started in late July. 60 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.360 It's now thirty four percent surrounded. Calfire's Jim Evans says 61 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680 the hot, dry conditions are making it hard for crews 62 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.039 to suppress the fire, which is now moving into the 63 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.360 Lassen National Forest east of Reading. 64 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.280 Thus, for most of the fire activities going on, we 65 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.680 have a crews up there that are putting in some 66 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.439 some good firefighting efforts. There were a few spot fires 67 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.280 up there that we have people up there that are 68 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:58.199 just knows as well. 69 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.719 So far, the fires burn more than four twenty seven 70 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.919 thousand acres. A third person's been arrested in Austria in 71 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.800 connection with what investigators say was a foiled plot to 72 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.080 attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna. Officials say the 73 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.080 eighteen year old taken into custody yesterday had been in 74 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.600 contact with a nineteen year old who was arrested on Tuesday. 75 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.560 They say he had also pledged oaths of allegiance to ices, 76 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.680 but is not directly connected to the attack plans. ABC's 77 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.720 Maggie Really says three sold out Swift shows were canceled 78 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.079 Wednesday because of the plot, the. 79 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.199 Swift team releasing a statement just hours before the first 80 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.680 night's concert saying we have no choice but to cancel 81 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.439 the three scheduled shows for everyone's safety. 82 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.079 Thirty say the nineteen year old confessed that he started 83 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.920 planning the attack in July and wanted to kill as 84 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.120 many people as possible. A third person has died from 85 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.680 a lasteria outbreak linked to Bor's Head Deli meat. The 86 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.120 number of people sickened has gone up to forty three. 87 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.959 The CDC says the third death was in Virginia. The 88 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.680 other two were in New Jersey and in Illinois. Bor's 89 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.480 Head recalled seven million pounds of Deli meats on July thirtieth, 90 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.480 and Snoop Dogg has been such a hit at the 91 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.160 Paris Summer Olympics that NBC is reportedly already planning to 92 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.600 try to get him to be part of the twenty 93 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.839 twenty six Winter Olympics in Milana Cortino. The president of 94 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.199 NBC said they would be thrilled to have him back 95 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.120 in any capacity. The Milano Cortino Olympics are scheduled for 96 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.079 February twenty twenty six. It's five oh seven on your 97 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.519 Friday morning wake up college, say now good morning to 98 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.959 ABC's Jordana Miller, who's in Jerusalem. Jordana, with the threat 99 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.560 of retaliation from Iran or its proxies, the Israeli security 100 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.160 Cabinet has met in Tel Aviv deep underground, tell us 101 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.399 about that. 102 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.160 That's right. Out of the abundance of caution, the head 103 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.000 of Istral Security Agency recommended that all of the ministers 104 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.800 meet and essentially the war bunker in Israel's equivalent of 105 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:04.199 the Pentagon. After several hours of meetings of that meeting, 106 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.639 we heard from the Prime Minister that he is going 107 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:13.000 to send a delegation on August fifteenth to be part 108 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.839 of another push to finalize a Gaza ceasefire. This really, 109 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.720 you know, President Biden and Texture of State Anthony's Lincoln 110 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.360 deserves a huge amount of credit for keeping their eye 111 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:33.920 on the Gaza ceasefire and really using America's ironclad support 112 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.040 for Israel, both in word diplomacy to get Ran to 113 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.399 pull back from its massive attack which is not imminent 114 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.160 any longer, and sending so many warships here in the 115 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:52.839 United States asking Israel to in exchange in a sense, 116 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.720 you know, to keep it, to go back to the 117 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.720 gods of seasefire and try to cut a deal, saying 118 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.720 this is the best way to diffuse tensions and you know, 119 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.360 keep the Iranians from a major attack and likely get 120 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:12.160 has Bolah to moderate what they're planning. You know, it 121 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.839 is diplomacy at its finest, and you know, we're going 122 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.600 to see, you know, how much flexibility Nataniell gives his team. 123 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.519 But for those of us that have been you know, 124 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.480 following the ins and outs of the ceasefire negotiations for 125 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.959 months and months and months, it's now at a critical 126 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.120 moment where everybody except Na'taielle, everybody in the defense establishment, 127 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.839 everybody in the intelligence community believes this is the moment 128 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.480 for Israel to get to finalize the seasefire, pull out 129 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.879 of the Godden Strip entirely, and get all the hostages out, 130 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.639 and really time to end the war. So we're going 131 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.560 to have to see if that happens, If there's progress 132 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.959 that leaves on that front, very good news. And in 133 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.839 the meantime, Isel says it's still bracing for a possible 134 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.240 strike from Husballah. So that strike is you know, going 135 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.439 to be likely limited to the North of Israel and 136 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:15.800 no longer deep into Israeli territory, not in Tel Aviv. 137 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.759 The Israeli Dan the Americans have made enough messages to 138 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.560 say that, you know, if they strike Tel Aviv, even 139 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.560 if the targeted the military base, there's so many civilians 140 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.000 around the bases that Israel will not tolerate, you know, 141 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.919 death and civilians, so that that would cause a major reprisal. 142 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.399 So I can say a little more than a week 143 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.559 out of after the twin assassinations we saw last week 144 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.399 in Tehran and n Beirut, weren't a much better place 145 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.360 here where diplomacy seems to have worked. And you know, 146 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.879 Israel's bracing for something, but not a massive, massive. 147 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:56.960 Attack, and we will hope that diplomacy prevails. And we 148 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.519 will check in with you again as willing next week 149 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.200 and see if they've made any more progress.

The kids, 235 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.559 who do not have any ties to that school, were 236 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.480 arrested and released to their parents.

It's handle on 251 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.039 the news. It's mid August, but Halloween's already everywhere. How 252 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.399 retailers are tricking customers into getting their Halloween treats earlier 253 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.840 than ever. Now, lit's say good morning to our favorite 254 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:19.120 ABC Olympics correspondent in this Dila Ca Terra in Paris. 255 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.960 But your. 256 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:24.279 Okay? 257 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.960 And as we only have like two days of competition left, 258 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.360 are you a little sad or are you ready to 259 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.559 be done? 260 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:33.440 I am sad. 261 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:34.879 The Olympics. 262 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.799 The Olympics blues there called it's starting. 263 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.200 It's a real thing. So let's look back a little bit. 264 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.480 Yesterday the fastest man in the world came up a 265 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.360 little short but has a good excuse. 266 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:50.519 That's right. 267 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.919 Yeah, so huge upset on the track. Noah Lyles, who 268 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.600 was favored to win gold in the two hundred meter 269 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.320 final on the men's side. He ended up having to 270 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:05.360 stead for bronze after he was sunned by Botswana's Lidzilad Tobago. 271 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.519 So he won the gold and then it was fellow 272 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.559 American Kenny Badark who won the silver. Noah won the bronze. 273 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.320 After the race, Noah Isles didn't look too well, so 274 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.159 he was lying down on the track. He appeared to 275 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.039 be having issue breathing. He was wheeled off the track 276 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.759 in a wheelchair and we later found out he had 277 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.480 been diagnosed with COVID two days ago, which is interesting 278 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.279 considering we found out from the WHO a few days 279 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.159 ago that at least forty athletes had been diagnosed to 280 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.799 with COVID. I will say Paris organizers are they've taken 281 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.879 a new approach here. They've said they want this to 282 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.279 be a return to normalcy, and so they're letting athletes 283 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.080 diagnosed to with COVID decide for themselves that they want 284 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.799 to continue with the competitions or withdraw. In Noah's case, 285 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.720 he did decide to compete, but it does explain, you know, 286 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.720 why he was struggling on the track after the race, 287 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.960 probably explains why he didn't get the gold because he 288 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.759 was favored to win the gold medal. 289 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.639 Well, and he still got the bronze running with COVID. 290 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.679 So I think that's exactly that's gold medal worthy in 291 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.240 my book. 292 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.919 Totally totally amazing that he was able to do that 293 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.000 with COVID. We've all, I mean, at this point, I 294 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.480 think we've all had COVID and it's I couldn't do 295 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.799 what they do normally, but to do it with COVID 296 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.120 is all the more impressive. 297 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.120 Yeah, here's something else that was pretty impressive. I was 298 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.000 watching the women's four hundred meter hurdles. Did you catch 299 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:22.399 that one? 300 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.399 I did not, But we did very well in that 301 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.039 did very well in that. 302 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.399 Another stunning runner. 303 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.679 I'm just I still am just amazed at how gorgeous 304 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.960 the runners are, and you know, you'd think that they're 305 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:37.600 out on the track and they're all sweaty and stuff, 306 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.960 but they've got their makeup done, they've got their hair done, 307 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.360 and I'm like, they just like look like a million bucks. 308 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.799 Is they're running for gold. I think it's very impressive. 309 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.039 But yeah, she gosh, I can't even think of her 310 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.600 name right now. 311 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.360 I should probably Yeah, Sidney MacLaughlin loves ron or Loro. 312 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.240 I'm not sure how you pronounced it, but yeah, So 313 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.320 she took the gold and she broke her own world record, 314 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.480 which was a big deal. And you know about how 315 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.960 good they looked. She was wearing a crown post race. 316 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.480 I know that was funny. I think she was a 317 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:05.200 little embarrassed. 318 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.720 Her friends or her boyfriend or husband kept putting it 319 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.279 on her and she'd take it off and then they'd 320 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:09.640 put it on. 321 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.200 Yeah. 322 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:11.880 So it was very sweet though. 323 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.240 And then Team USA basketball actually got a run for 324 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.279 their money yesterday. 325 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.559 Yes, that was an incredible one. I mean, yeah, it 326 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.119 was just Appolis. So they were up against Serbia. We've 327 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.200 talked a lot about how Team USA is amazing and 328 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.759 they've got Lebron James and Stiff Curry and Kevin Durant 329 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.920 and how they are basically unbeatable, but we got scared 330 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.039 there for a second yesterday. So Serbia of course has 331 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.119 Nikola Jokic three times MVP, so it was down to 332 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.480 be an interesting game, but I don't think anyone expected 333 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.400 it to be this close. We were actually down to 334 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.720 Serbia by seventeen points in the first half of the game, 335 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.400 and then Team USA staged an incredible comeback in the 336 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.119 fourth quarter. We scored six points in two seconds and. 337 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.559 Way we scored six twenty one. We've we scored six 338 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:00.680 points in what you cut out for. 339 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.400 A second in two seconds, in two seconds, and we 340 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.279 did end up winning a lot of it thanks to 341 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.880 Steph Curry. But yes, we beat Survey in ninety five 342 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.960 ninety one. And I think what made it, you know, 343 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.640 all the more fun was that for once you can 344 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.680 kind of cheer on all these big names working together 345 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.200 as opposed to you know, typically they're on different teams, 346 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.039 they're opposite each other, and it was cool to have 347 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.759 them all working together for once, and they're not going 348 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.440 to be playing France in the final on Saturday. 349 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:28.440 Fabulous. 350 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.240 And you had an assignment yesterday were you were you 351 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.039 able to check out break dancing or breaking. 352 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.400 I know, I feel like I misled you because it's 353 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.559 I am going. It's today, but it it is happening 354 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.319 in the next few hours, so I can't report breaking 355 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.119 just yet. It hasn't actually started. It starts this afternoon 356 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.759 Paris time. But but yes, I'll be going. I did 357 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.640 find out some more about judging, So judges are going 358 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.119 to be using it's called the Trivium judging system, and 359 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.240 they're going to it's gonna be nine judges and they're 360 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.079 going to be looking at things like technique, execution, mutality, originality, 361 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.359 range of moves, maintaining control, landing smoothly, and improvisation and 362 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.839 creativity also encouraged. 363 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.200 Okay, so it sounds like it's very, very, very subjective. 364 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.640 That's right. 365 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.559 Yeah, I think it will be. Yeah, we'll see that. Yeah, 366 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.720 women competing today, men tomorrow, and it is the first 367 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.599 time we've ever had this at the Olympics. 368 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.000 It'll be fun to watch. 369 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.400 And then what other things do we have left because 370 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.680 we only have two days left, but I'm imagining they're 371 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.599 going to cram everything in. 372 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.519 At the last minute too. 373 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:35.359 Yeah. 374 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.359 So today, the big one is a sixteen year old 375 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.240 Quincy Wilson, who will be competing in the four by 376 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.200 four hundred meter relay. He is the youngest male US 377 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.200 track Olympian ever. We've got Shikarrie Richardson also back on 378 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.359 the track. She's going to be participating in the four 379 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.480 by one hundred meter relay. We're hoping for a gold 380 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.759 medal there. The US women's basketball team has been on 381 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.240 a fifty nine Olympic game winning streak. They're going to 382 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:05.599 be playing Australia today in the semifinal match. And and yeah, 383 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.920 and then we had marathon swimming for on the men's side. 384 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:13.759 I went to see that this morning medals, but they did. 385 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.279 I mean, it is really beautiful to see. I was 386 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:17.880 standing on one of the bridges and you could see 387 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.400 them simming under the bridges over to the Eiffel Tower 388 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:23.160 and then back. It's really beautiful. It's impressive. So I 389 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.279 understand what Prairius organizing we were trying to do with that, 390 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.160 but just a little worried for their well being, so 391 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:32.279 we didn't meddle in that. T USA did not meddle 392 00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.519 in the in the marathon swimming. And then we've got 393 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.519 things like table tennis, yeah, and more track and field. Basically, 394 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.200 I think track and field continues to be the star 395 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.559 of the show Today, Action. 396 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:43.880 Packed and then closing ceremony on Sunday. 397 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:46.720 That's right, just a few days away. 398 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.519 A lot of questions as to what you know we're 399 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.200 going to be looking at. They haven't released many details, 400 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.200 but they've been very secretive about the actual lineup. We 401 00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.599
