A republican congressman from North Carolina announced he will not run for reelection. His name is mark meadows. He has been a top ally of President Trump. He said he will not object the ballot in 2020. He was elected in 2012 and played a big role in shaping the house gop. As for his future, it is uncertain, but he did say in his statement that his work with President Trump and his administration is only just begun. Back to you. Thank you. 5 03 this morning, taking a live look at capitol hill where history was made last night. President trump is now the third president in American History to be impeached. After weeks of impeachment hearings, more than 200 lawmakers used yesterdays day long debate as one more opportunity to layout their arguments. The final vote came mostly as expected. A small number of democrats, however, voting no, and republican, turned independent, justin amash voting yes. President trump was campaigning in michigan and he chastized democrats over the impeachment. It is a disgrace. Democrat lawmakers do not believe you have a right to select your own president. Our foremothers an forefathers shed their blood to build and defend this democracy. I refuse to have it undermined. The next step is a trial in the u. S. Senate, but House Speaker nancy pelosi suggests she may temporarily hold off sending the impeachment articles to the senate, which could delay the trial. Todays democratic president ial debate in Southern California is back on. It was put on hold after a labor dispute at loyola university, the site of the event. Ed okeefe is joining us there live. What can we expect from the candidates tonight now that the house has voted to impeach President Trump . Reporter kenny and michelle, there will probably be questions about the peept and how exactly a senate trial should proceed given a handful of those are set to sit as jurors in the impeachment trial. Otherwise, expect it to focus on issues like healthcare, climate change, gun control, the economy, those are the issues that dominate when we asked voters what they care about and what they want to hear the president ial candidates talk about. Ed, can you give us a short run down of what to watch for from the seven democratic candidate hopes facing off tonight . Reporter sure, youll have, you said, 7 on stage. The only californian at this point is tom steyer. We can expect if there is any sparring to be done between the candidates, it is likely to focus on pete buttigieg, who has risen in the polls in the early states of iowa and New Hampshire especially and is likely to get incoming from senator Elizabeth Warren who is either stagnated or slipped as mayor pete has risen. Expect them potentially to sort of focus on, here in california, Bernie Sanders especially, Elizabeth Warren and joe biden doing relatively well depending on poll and are going to try to keep the momentum going. There is a push among some California Democrats and activists to get the debate talking about issues of concern in the golden state like homelessness or climate change, again, issues that have far more impact on the large, super tuesday state. Ed, this is going to be the sixth and final debate of the year. What do you expect in terms of some of the candidates who are toward the bottom, including andrew yang. What do you expect from him tonight . Yeah, so yang and steyer, essentially the sixth and seventh guys on stage, likely just have to continue, you know, looking for moments, either some kind of zinger that they can level against one of the top tiered candidates or some point that they can make that sort of draws more attention to them. Yang has been especially good at this on debate stages. Doesnt talk as much as the others. When he is called on or does get a chance on speak, definitely makes some interesting points that lead to, you know, more interest in the campaign. The other one to watch is senator Amy Klobuchar of minnesota. The last two debates, after them, she has been able to raise millions of dollars and draw more attention to her campaign as she draws contrast, especially with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, arguing that she is another moderate alternate on stage, if theyre looking for someone other than joe biden or mayor buttigieg. Well see exactly how it plays out tonight but as you said, the sixth and final debate and one that is actually happening, this debate was actually scheduled to be held at ucla but there was a labor dispute going on there so they moved to to loyola. They settled that labor dispute on monday, allowing the debate to proceed. Thank you for the insight this morning. Time is 5 07. Still ahead on kpix 5 and streaming on cbsn bay area. Their take on how taxpayer money is being spent to house the homeless. Coming up, well see if we can dispense with the rain for just a bit. There is more coming up around christmas time.

Clients of Bay Area CommunityServices Says berkeleys Navigation Center is unsafe and the permanent Housing Options are not sustainable. The nonprofit ceo sat down with susie stiemle. I come down here and, oh, god it was scary. Reporter that is how james wood describes his first night a the stair center in berkeley run by Bay Area Community services or bacs. It is supposed to help people move from encampments into permanent housing. It seemed to be nothing but a glorified homeless encampment. So many drugs being used. Doors slamming every two minutes. You cant sleep. Theyre up all night, in and out of the buildings. Reporter james moved into the stair center in september. The building has gone a full week without hot water, had sinks that didnt work, flooded bathrooms, broken washers and dryers and fire extinguishers more than six months overdue for inspection. Does it feel safe . No. It clean in there . No. That is why it was so deplorable. The only permanent housing was not sustainable. He would have a roommate, someone he would never meet. This was rented to me as a single room. Reporter the next place was in oakland. This time he knew it would be a shared room. Most solutions bacs offers are, but he was caught off guard again. They added a third bed to the room. A price reduction, now were paying 2,100 for a small master bedroom. Three people. And i dont even know who they are. Reporter in our previous reporting on bacs, we found they regularly place multiple adults in shared bedrooms with people they have never met, often tenants cant access the kitchen to cook. We found one woman was placed in this garage that had a rat infestation. When we asked the city of berkeley to respond to the multitude of complaints that we have heard from bacs clients, in an email, the spokesperson accused of willfully running inaccuracies about bacs and refused an on camera interview. If he found were not the only people elevating the concerns to city officials. I personally called the Mayors Office many times. Reporter berkeleyly. Activist mash sha pool marsha has been corresponding with james since she met him. The place was dirty. The place was just dirty. Reporter talking to other residents, she says she soon heard even worse complaints like that there wasnt enough food. Brought in by meals on wheels in the morning, but by the time anyone got to it, it was gone, pretty much, so they were hungry there. Reporter she worries it is also a potentially dangerous place. Here are all of these people sleeping together in a big, vast room. This was a man who was afraid that he was going to go to sleep and not wake up. We follow the parameters. Reporter Jamie Almanza is bacs executive director she finally agreed to sit down with us. We pointed out that Police Records show 79 calls in the year and a half that the stair center was open. One was for an assault on james. He slept on the street that night out of fear for his life. Clients dont feel safe there. A lot of those calls were for assaults between clients who were staying there. Is this a safe place . Absolutely. Reporter jamie stands by their numbers and 82 success rate of finding housing for release clients at the stair center. So how many of the 82 over the past year and a half are still housed . I can most certainly get you data if youre interested on year to date or program to date for the stair center. I do not have that on my person. So you have the statistics of how many people it stuck for . I would reference you to the county statistics. Reporter the county refers us to bacs saying we are not able to segment by jurisdiction or provider in any way that provides an accurate picture. You dont know what the longterm success rate looks like . In this email to investors that we obtained written shortly after the first report on bacs, she encouraged investors to be selective in the viewing of kpix saying we put Vulnerable People on camera without considering the mental state. My social worker. James says it is the opposite. Bacs tried to exploit him in his interview with us. The day of our scheduled interview, james started getting calls and visits from people within bacs. And so this morning my coordinator comes to me and says we need to talk. Lets go to breakfast. He is concerned about what i might say in this interview. They wanted someone to sit here with me during the interview that was working for bacs and without you knowing, and i felt like, well, if you found out that, there goes my credibility. Reporter james says bacs chief Strategy Officer asked if he could sit in on the interview with kpix without telling kpix who he was. He wanted to ensure he talked positively about the program to us. In a text message, ben says i would like to be with you to support you when you do the interview if that would be acceptable to you. After the interview, he checks in again. No interview . James responds, no, i was interviewed. It went well. Ben, did you talk positively about bacs . Can i ask about james wood then and why Benjamin Blake asked if he could sit in on james woods interview with us . He is a staff at bacs and we offer support to every client in every scenario possible. I actually think it is a wonderful thing that a senior level staff would offer support to any individual. James says he feels stuck. He says he is coming forward with this story because he believes bacs hasnt helped him find adequate housing and is losing hope that they ever will. Im comfortable with doing this because i have already accepted the fact that i will probably die on the street. If this doesnt change, they wont be able to get me a place. Reporter bacs asked us to clarify that 82 rate. That means 82 of their clients from the stair center were placed into permanent housing but not that they were able to stay there. That is a different measurement of returns to releaseness and they say only 16 of their clients returned to homelessness. We asked for study that backs up the data and they didnt provide it. There is good news, james says there were improvements made to the stair center after he complained to the city. Susie, stiemle, kpix 5. Portions of the interview will be available on our website.

Clouds hanging around much of the day and then eventually High Pressure nudges in, moves all to the north. That will be good for fog formation as well. A greater chance of lingering showers north of the golden gate this morning, south bay will be the first to clear up. Here is how we start out. The numbers will be mostly near 50 degrees. A few sprinkles around the bay area, favoring the north bay and patchy fog. Generally well dry it out, begin to clear it up, and temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s. Let us summarize this. Partly foggy start. A break from the rain, tomorrow looks great. Friday has sunshine and we stay dry through saturday morning.
