Reporter but the president of the Berkeley College republicans, who is hosting tonights event says students deserve to hear all viewpoints. When they dont hear that right wing perspective. I hope that a lot of students that dont agree with ann come and ask the questions. Ive been here since 2017 when stuff really hit the fan. Reporter he is talking about the fiery protests that erupted in when far right commentator milo was supposed to speak on campus. Masked protesters threw firework, rocks and even molotov cocktails. The university was forced the clean up the damage, which cost cal 100,000. Absolutely. I think weve learned a lot from 2017, particularly how we police the events. You may have seen over time a transition toward direct engagement in event in these events where officers are separating crowds. And back out here live, you are looking at wheeler hall that is where ann coulter will take the stage starting at 9 00 p. M. You can see just around the building, police have set up barriers to make sure things do not get out of hand. But i can tell you right now, students are gathering around and it doesnt seem like there are a lot of protesters out here demonstrating just yet. But i want to emphasize those two words just yet, because we know the antifascist groups, they have spread the message on social media as well as posting pliers all around campus that they are calling on people. They are calling on students to demonstrate ann coulters event tonight. We know that Campus Police and berkeley police, they are working, teaming up together to make sure we dont see a repeat of what happened back in 2017. Thats the latest here from berkeley. Im melissa colorado, nbc bay area news. And of course well be watching closely as well. Thank you, melissa. We invite you to stay with us for continuing coverage of coulters visit to cal. Well bring you an update throughout the night and have a full wrapup in our 11 00 newscast. Well, tonight its cold. Its windy. And for thousands of us, it is dark. No power or heat as the pg e shutoffs are impacng a lot communities, specifically in the north bay. Just a few minutes ago, pg e telling us you need to be careful if you live in an area thats under a red flag warning. If you live within one of those red flag areas, please remain vigilant. What we are doing in our preemptive deenergization is eliminating one potential source of initiation of catastrophic wildfires. The concern is high winds could knock or damage pg e power lines which could then start a fire. By the way, that red flag warning expires tomorrow morning. For many people, specifically in the north bay this is their fifth pg e shutoff in two months. Theyre learning how to cope, but theyre not very happy about it. Nbc bay areas Jodi Hernandez joins us in santa rosa in the dark. Jodi . Reporter raj, this area east santa rosa is no working streetlights, no working traffic lights. The traffic lights at this intersection of highway 12 and Mountain Hawk road stopped working at about 7 00 this morning. And people who live in this area say they are getting tired of being plunged in the dark. This is like our fourth or fifth round in the last month or six weeks. Maureen johnson has become a pro at getting through power outages. Blocks of ice. Reporter she packed her refrigerator with ice. And then reporter stocked up on lanterns. And she has her batteryoperated radio on hand to keep up with the daily news. Its crazy. I dont know if this is our new normal, but i dont like it. Reporter as the wind kicked in, pg e began shutting off power to thousands once again this morning. For some in santa rosa, its the fifth time since the beginning of october. I dont think any of us would have imagined wed be here in november dealing with another power shutoff and a red flag warning. Reporter tarosas Emergency Operation center is once again fully staffed, and theyre gearing up for another possible wind event and power shutdown next week. Yes, were giving up power, but hopefully its going to stop the fires. Reporter with five shutdowns now under her belt, kathy tapi decided to upgrade her generator. We got a larger generator for this outage. And this is supposed to power our whole house. So well see. Reporter people here say roughing it is getting really old. You lose all your groceries in the refrigerator and cant sometimes take a shower because no hot water, oro, cd water. Its nuts. Reporter were back here live at one of the many dark intersections in the santa rosa area. The city of santa rosa has placed stop signs out at these dark intersections to help drivers navigate through the fourway stops. The good news is this power outage isnt expected to last as long as previous ones. The city tells me they hope the lights will turn back on some time tomorrow. Reporting live in santa rosa, im Jodi Hernandez, nbc bay area news. All right, jodi, thank you. The strong winds are a concern. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri with the updated timeline for this microclimate weather alert. And we really see those winds starting to slowly drop as we head throughout the next several hours. We did have some top wind gusts earlier today, up to 59 Miles Per Hour at mt. Saint helena. 53 mount diablo. Santa cruz 20 to 40. So the fire warning expires 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Again, thats in effect for the Higher Elevations of the north bay, east bay and the south bay. So here is my wind forecast. Again, dropping over the next 12 hours in the mountains, 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour. Valley gusts of 10 to 20. And that is all really northbay focused at this point. Anyone using a generator, i want you to know without any kind of heat, we have cold temperatures, 30s and 40s on the way. Speaking of the cold, we are going to have a look at some really chilly temperatures, and some bigtime sierra snow that could be on the way. Thats in about ten minutes. Okay, thank you, jeff. Blockbuster and explosive among the words being used to describe todays testimony in the house impeachment hearing. In his opening statement, Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared the Ukraine Pressure Campaign was quid pro quo, but it was his understanding that ukraines president would get the white house meeting he wanted if he publicly promised to investigate a discredited theory about 2016 election interference and a company tied to joe bidens son. Sondland claimed everyone was in the loop and that secretary of state, Vice President , and others knew. East bay congressman Eric Swalwell pressed about his involvement of the president s lawyer, rudy giuliani. The president told you to talk to rudy. You talked to him a couple of times. You told us in september talk to the president a couple of times. Did the president ever say to you stop talking to rudy . No. Did he ever say dont any longer talk to rudy . No. More surprising testimony came later from Deputy Assistant secretary of defense laura cooper. She testified Ukrainian Embassy was asking questions of her staff about the freezing of military aid as far back as july. Now well have full coverage of todays hearings and analysis coming up at 6 30. No school today at san joses oak grove high school. The principal cancelling classes after yesterdays bomb threat. Tonight an Fbi Crime Lab is analyzing the homemade bomb found in the student parking lot. Police confirm it was a functioning device until the bomb squad took care of it. Because of the threat, more than 1800 students were on lockdown for several hours yesterday before eventually evacuating the campus. Some students showed up to get their cars left behind when they were forced to evacuate. Its scary because they obviously dont know who made that. Or how it got there or when exactly it got there or why it was there. So it is a little scary. The districts superintendent says no direct threats were made to the school or staff members. Now when oak grove reopens tomorrow, students can expect to see extra Police Patrols and counselors. Well, facebook coming to fremont. And while its not a secret, you may not know just how big a footprint it plans to put down in the east bay. Nbc bay areas robert handa joins us from the site really, krowi. Well, thats right. Facebook is coming here to the north section of fremont where city officials have long wanted more tech businesses. Now many people we talked to here say facebook will be a very good addition, but still worry it might be too much of a good thing. Facebook is already busy with numerous Construction Projects all over the citys north section known as the ardenwood district. City officials confirm facebook is not only involved in new construction but also bought two nearby buildings. All told, its reportedly taking over more than 720,000 square fee. Samir sarkabi lives in the neighborhood. He says facebook will be good for the city, but huge headache. Just the cost of living here. So i see there are some pros and cons to it. I talk about the cons. The process obviously better jobs, more job opportunities, you know, with something as big as facebook. Reporter city Officials Say facebook fits right into their plans for the 2. 7 million square feet of space and emphasizes facebook has said it will work frent to address impacts such as traffic and housing. Plus vice mayer raj sawn says many residents already work for facebook. We have all this brain talent. Every day they have to spend two hours going to palo alto, menlo park. So its very frustrate fargo lot of folks. Im hoping. Wishful thinking that something positive will come out more than something negative. You dont mind having this many new neighbors . Well see. Thats a hard question to answer. Reporter well, it is hard to predict the impact of possibly up to 20,000 new workers here. Still, the mayor vice mayor points out that it will still take a couple of years to complete the projects, but remember, facebook will not be the last company here for as big as their footprint will be, there is still plenty of room t. Live in fremont, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Okay, thank you, robert. He stepped into the middle of a robbery on bart and ended up dead. The details were learning about a Good Samaritan stabbed to death on a train. Also, bad news just a week before thanksgiving. What weve just learned about the crab season here in the bay area. My parents never taught me anything about managing money. The amount of Student Loan Debt i have, im embarrassed to even say. We just decided we didnt want debt any longer. I didnt realize how easy investing could be. Im Picking Companies that i believe in. I think sofi money is amazing. Thank you sofi. Sofi thank you, we love you. There is a lothe millions p use bart. This comes after yesterdays deadly stabbing. A Good Samaritan was caught in the middle. Tonight were learning more about that victim and the suspected killer. Nbc bay areas Anoushah Rasta joins us with the very latest. Reporter raj, police tell us that suspect walked out of san leandro hospital before getting on to a bart train yesterday. Meanwhile, barts general manager says he has been beefing up security. Reporter weve hi weve hired 54 Police Officers this calendar year, 54. That is a record. Thats more than any two years combined. Reporter tonight the general manager of bart is insisting that the Transit Agency is safe, one day after police say this rider stabbed and killed another passenger on one of the trains during an argument. Investigators are naming 39yearold Jermaine Jeremiah brim as the attacker and they booked him into the santa rita jail. It was a fight that began. And anything short of having an officer on that train car, it would have been something that would have been tough to prevent. Reporter bart Police Walked out of the hayward station yesterday with bags of evidence after the stabbing. The Alameda CountySheriffs Office tells us brim stabbed and killed 49yearold oakland man oliver williams. Brim was allegedly trying to steal someones shoes on the bart train when williams tried to stop him, and brim used a pocket knife the victim was carrying to stab and kill him. The confrontation according to police lasted about ten minutes. Investigators are now reviewing Surveillance Video and looking into when the suspect and the victim first got on the train. Obviously as a commuter, you dont know what youre going to confront every day. Every day is something different. So i mean, i dont feel safe, personally, but obviously i always stay aware of my surroundings. Reporter the suspect is facing a firstdegree murder charge and a carjacking charge because police say he tried to steal a car from a dealership after that attack. Now police are also looking for the man whos shoes were stolen on the train. They want to talk to him. Reporting live in hayward, Anoushah Rasta, nbc bay area news. A sad story, anoushah, thank you.

The state announced today its delaying the already delayed opening of the crab season. Opening day is now december 15th. Thats because of numerous whales spotted in fishing grounds. This comes with new regulations aimed at protecting the whales from being entangled in crab greer. Bay area seafood business also miss out on thanksgiving, which isnt of the crab season. Thanksgiving is next week. This is a special time of year for us, and we need your help. As affluent as the bay area is, there are thousands of families that need a helping hand.

You head out there to help us do this holiday food drive. Lets bring into that microclimate forecast. And of course it has been all about the wind. Our red flag fire warning and those gusty conditions weve had up in the mountains is the focus of the winds. Its starting to at least beginning to diminish. Well still have gusts right here about 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour. But generally, as you can see, as we move through tomorrow morning, that wind starts to relax. Now as this wind calms by 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning, the temperatures also drop. Look at this. Jacket weather, maybe even sweater weather for you. Moving on across the bay area. 43 in almaden valley. 41 morgan hill. 39 in livermore. 42 in fairfield. 42 in napa. 41 in santa rosa. If you know anyone with the power off here in the north bay, maybe open up your doors. If you do have your power, with the heat on. I know a lot of folks might be uncomfortable without any kind of heat to power their house. As we move through the afternoon tomorrow, temperatures will be in the 60s. It will feel like a nice cool fall day. But beyond this, we are looking at some major changes next week just before thanksgiving. While this is cool, its going to get downright cold next week. Some of the early indications. I want to show you a sneak peek at the sierra snow. Next tuesday starts to get going. By next wednesday, just before thanksgiving, we could have snow down to be 2,000 feet, at least 4 to 9 inches possible. This is an early look at this. Well have details on what this means for bay area rain. Ill have that brandnew rain outlook coming up in about 25 minutes. I know youre going to like it. We like it already. Thanks, jeff. Up next, the new deal between sfo and uber. It kicked off today. We have an update. Im chris from nbc bay area responds. Im here with ray. We helped him get 13,800. The victory celebration. Lets take a selfie. Chris definitely had my back. Its nice that we have a voice, somebody that will fight for us. Gracias. We won big. Its a wonderful feeling. I felt that someone cared. And you were the only one who responded. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It takes a village to raise a child. To build a bridge. To throw a baseball. To throw yourself into the unknown. To lose fear, to create hope. We believe that it takes a village of over 200thousand dedicated, passionate, driven medical and nonmedical professionals to deliver on our belief in total health for all. We are kaiser permanente. Thrive. A holiday treat, but you got to pay for it. Sfo is now allowing Curbside Pickup for some uber rides. That Pilot Program weve been talking about began today. It allows uber comfort, uber select, and uberx l, those are the more premium rides to pick up passengers along the curb. This is a big deal because if you remember, uber and lyft pickups were moved to a parking lot away from the terminals. Weve got some room to restore some portion of uber and lyft activity curbside. We think this is a good way to begin. So were really going to study this pour the next two months. And if we see that its something that our traffic can handle, we may continue it into the future. We shall see. Lyft is not part of the program, but could be added later on if this Pilot Program becomes permanent. Well, facebook is rolling out tools to calm advertiser fears. Among the tools the social media giant will give companies the power to list what their content appears on. Facebook is hoping this will give advertisers more retail in the social media platform. Theyre being criticized for their decision to not fact check political ads. Up next at 6 30, some are calling him the star witness for the democrats. A u. S. Ambassador with some major revelations in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump. Was there a quid pro quo . As i testified previously, with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting, the answer is yes. So what does it mean for the president . Our political analyst Larry Gerston breaks it all down for us. So that early retirement we planned. Its going ok . Great. Now im spending more time with the kids. Im introducing them to crab. Crab . They love it. So, you mentioned that that money we set aside. Yeah. The kids and i want to build our own crab shack. Ahhh, youre finally building that outdoor kitchen. Yup with room for the whole gang. See how investing with a j. P. Morgan advisor can help you. Visit your local chase branch. Of the new floor decor dont miin milpitas. Opening if you have never been to a floor decor, you have to go to the grand opening. Hardwoods, laminates, tile or stone. Holy smokes, this place is huge im on a budget and i was able to go to floor decor, and save a lot of money. You will be blown away by this experience. The pros come here. I come here. You have to go. Floor decor. Now open in milpitas, off the 880 freeway on north mccarthy blvd. Right now at 6 30, contradicting President Trump. Blunt testimony from a u. S. Ambassador about his conversations with the president. The much anticipated testimony from Gordon Sondland did not disappoint today. The major republican donor says he followed orders he believed were from the president. President trump responded quickly to reporters. Janelle wang is following the testimony from capitol hill. Janelle . Reporter raj and jessica, ambassador sondland says this was not rogue diplomacy. This quid pro quo was planned and everyone was in on it. Today it was his turn in the public impeachment inquiry. Gordon sondland, the u. S. Ambassador to the European Union delivering bombshell testimony directly tying President Trump to a Pressure Campaign in ukraine. Was there a quid pro quo . As i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting, the answer is yes. Reporter ambassador sondland said the quid pro quo was this. Ukraines president would get a white house meeting he wanted and military aid if he publicly announced an investigation into 2016 election interference and the biden family. Who would benefit from an investigation of the bidens . I assume President Trump would benefit. There we have it. See . Reporter asinne circle, sayi secretary of state and Vice President all knew what was happening. Everyone was in the e came te ukraine wouldnt get the military aid it needed until it announced the investigation. Two plus two equalled four in my mind at this point. Reporter republicans emphasizing he never heard that directly from the president. It was a presumption. Reporter it actually game dpraim the president s attorney, rudolph giuliani. And ukraine never announced an investigation into the bidens and it still got its military aid. You got all three of them wrong. They get the call. They get the meeting. They get the money. Its not two plus two. Its 0 for 3. Reporter ambassador sondland also acknowledged President Trump in a previous conversation told him directly he wanted nothing from ukraine. The president recalling that conversation today. I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Reporter but the ambassadors testimony raises the question did the president s words match his actions. The white house officials implic tesident all saying they llecause there was none. Raj, jessica . Janelle, thank you. Our political analyst Larry Gerston is with us. Larry, nice to have you again. It is so polarizing here. If you listen to the president , if you listen to republican outlets, they will tell you everything went well for them today. So whats the truth here . So much of the American Public follows. You watch msnbc or fox or you follow those people. Were a long way from understanding this thing. It has to be put together somehow, and i suspect it will be once we get to the judiciary committee. But the reason why everybody hears Different Things is because of the snippets. I heard this sentence. I didnt know the other three in the paragraph. This is going on by both sides for effectiveness. And unfortunately, its kind of hard on the viewer. But there will be a point in time where the democrats will make their case. And if its good enough, fine. And if its not, fine too. Following up on what raj saodayid, keep insisting that ukraine got the 400 million so there is nothing to see here. But today the testimony really pinpointed that july date asing. Yeah, jessica, they did get the money. And they didnt do the investigation, the ukrainians. So you say whats the big deal . Well, they got the money after that politico article came out in late august, august 28th in which case it became known that the money was being withheld. And as for the president saying there is no quid pro quo, i never did anything like this. You say this september 9th just as the money is being released. These are the Little Things that are hard to keep straight. And he said no quid pro quo. But it was after the whistleblower. So he is going back, backtracking a bit it could be said. Sure. You could say at that point the money is going out. But the money only went out because of that political article. These interest things that are so hard for people to piece together day after day. But they will come together for the democrats to make their case. And then well get to work in the senate. Now there is a mounting connection after sondlands testimony today about Rudy Giulianis connection to the president. How does that play out for the president now . And did he do himself any favors when he comes out repeatedly making these statements to the press like he did today, reading from the statement . Is he harming himself . Some people think the president should lie low, not say anything, much like his Vice President has been doing. But the president is very involved in these things. He takes it personally. And he believes that he is being in some way vanquished, he needs to vanquish back, so to speak. And thats who he is. He give hip credit. So many times he manages to beat back all kinds of situations. There. A good chance this will pass. Hell be impeached in the house of representatives. Now based on what weve seen today and this week, is there any fluidity here, any moving forward in the senate if they would actually impeach the president . Well, there is no doubt about it, that the house will impeach. Theyve got the votes. And i suspect when all is said and done, theyll probably get a half a dozen or so republican votes. Maybe lose one or two democrats, get a half a dozen, maybe eight republican votes. So the house will have the majority to take it on. Theyll finish up the hearings this week. Theyll go ahead and wait for thanksgiving. Theyll come back. The judiciary is the committee that actually draws up the articles. Theyre probably going to be two or three, after which time the house votes. Now that gets us to late december perhaps. I dont think were going to start anything then. Well wait until january. At which time people forget. This the senate, run by republicans will draw up the rules for how the trial will be carried out. Just like the democrats have the advantage in the house, now the republicans get the advantage in the senate, which is one more reason why it will be very, very difficult to see conviction coming. Absent any other big bombs that may yet explode. So this is stretching all the way into the beginning of 2020 . Oh, yeah. We can see this going january and perhaps part of february. It allto because the longer it goes, democrats say maybe we get more information in. But the longer it goes, there are six democrats in the Senate Running for president. Primaries in california isnt march. Thank you, larry. Well, we invite you to stay with nbc bay area for the latest on the impeachment hearings and nbc news too. Lester holt anchors our coverage starting again at 6 00 in the morning our time that starts tomorrow morning. Well, major phone, cable and Internet Companies face tough questions today about why so many customers in the bay area lost service when pg e cut power last month. Theyre supposed to have backup power. At a packed hearing, California PublicUtilities Commission commissioners asked the executives how theyre managing todays outage in the north bay. The Companies Say theyre dealing with an unprecedented situation. Utility reform advocates stress its critical that people are able to use their phones and internet during a crisis. But were hoping is the commission doesnt just take this awe think theyre going to much deeper into these issues. The fact that they jumped on this problem right away was a very good sign. One Company Executive says its difficult to get backup generators in place at cell towers when the information they received about where power may be cut keeps changing. Our Parent Company comcast was among the companies at todays hearing. Well, pg e outages are impacting napa, sonoma and solano counties this round. There is also concern in the east bay.

We did it all. You have to rate the box on the bottom and the lighter stuff on top. Eggs on top, perishables on top. Ill be at alamo. Ill bag up your groceries. Yeah. Okay. We do have an improving forecast moving our way as we head throughout the next week. That is going to bring us the way it looks now some pretty good rain chances as we start off right now. The big story, of course, all week long has been the fire weather. Were still under this red flag fire warning. 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow. I can tell you, were on the downward side of this wind event. Tby strongest 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour. But watch as i advance this. Youre going to see that wind field really shrink down. And its just not that gusty at 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Winds on average about 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour. Wind creates friction in the air, okay . Its kind of rubbing those air molecules back and forth against each other. When you get friction, you get heat. So with the wind lately, the mornings have been at least a little milder for parts of the bay area. With less wind tomorrow, there is less friction, and those temperatures, theyre going to be able to cool on down. Look at this, the trivalley at 39 degrees. So jacket weather with us. As i said before, maybe even some sweater weather for you as well. Get to pull that off the shelf and 45 in the peninsula. South bay at 44. Down to 43 for the average in the north bay. 40 for the east bay. As we progress through the day, we have our sunshine with us. Temperatures will feel fl day o. Right here through the south bay, 65 in gilroy. 64 in cupertino. 62346 san jose. Its another day wherever you go across the,tsyer similar. 568 in danville. For the peninsula, 65 in palo alto. Lets bring you up to San Francisco. 60 in the marina. 62 for the embarcadero. And for the north bay, 66 in napa. 67 in santa rosa. So the suns nice for tomorrow. But we want to get the rainfall in here. Its movement weve barely seen anything. Only trace amounts. 05 since the rain started. It is time. Lets show you something i know youre going to like. I told you to get close to the tv. Take a seat, and were going to be able to take a look at the rain model. Here we go. Well bring you out to next week. So were fast forwarding things into next tuesday. What im seeing is a system off to the north. Its tapping into some deep pacific moisture next tuesday. I think as we head through tuesday afternoon and evening, we could get some showers in here. Watch this. Possibly some spotty showers into wednesday, and maybe an additional push of moisture right around thanksgiving. So still too early to tell on the totals, but at least increasing shower chances next week. So extended forecast as 50s coming our way next tuesday and wednesday. For San Francisco the numbers dropping. Inland valleys, i do see some wind next monday, about 15 to 30 Miles Per Hour. But by next wednesday, down to 56. Some cold air just before thanksgiving. Heading up to the sierra for thanksgiving, look at this forecast. Snow levels 2,000 to 3,000 feet on the early estimates. Maybe close to a foot of snow. Well know more particulars as we get closer, but could be a white thanksgiving for us. Thats nice. Yeah. Maybe some rain for us here in the bay area. A little bit chilly. Excellent. Thanks, jeff.

So nfl Football Players are rough and theyre tough, but that doesnt mean that they have big heart, especially for their hometown. The 49ers Richard Sherman heard about a Youth Football Team not having enough money to travel to their National Championship game, he swooped in to help. Here is nbc bay areas anthony flores. Reporter Richard Sherman and the 49ers are preparing for sunday nights showdown against the packers. But earlier this week, another team caught shermans attention. These kids are players on hub city, a Youth Football Team from shermans hometown of compton in southern california. The team qualified for the National Championship game next month in florida, but the travel costs were too much for the families to afford. Sherman saw the story on social media, then donated 5,000 to the teams gofundme page. Give them the opportunity of a hivetime to go to florida and get on a plane for the first time and have a new experience is something i was excited to be a part of. Reporter the team is undefeated on the field. But what really got shermans attention was their commitment to hitting the books. Players must have at least a 3. 1 gpa to suit up. The academics im always big on, adamant about. And to see a coach and a team and an organization so early in their careers is something i can applaud. Reporter sherman is not the only nfl bay area star to donate. Oakland raiders rookie quarterback Keyshawn Nixon also donated. Hub city not only reached their goal, they surpassed it by more than 10,000. Outside of this game, were all humans. We all have an opportunity to make the world a little better place than what we found it. Try to do my part. Thank you for helping us. Sherman says the coaches and parents have thanked him, but he was really surprised when the kids reached out to him through social media. It was really cool. Theyre excited and im happy for them.
