So one of our big stories today as fact that President Trump abruptly ended Coronavirus Relief talks yesterday that would have put money into the hands of Small Businesses the desperately needed to House Speaker nancy pelosi is pledging a deal could still be made without the president s approval, washington correspondent anna werner key has the latest. President donald trump is calling on congress to pass a covid19 relief bill hours after calling off negotiations until after the election we will have the sooners down and he wont win the election House Speaker nancy pelosi said tuesday in a conversation with the nonprofit 92nd street and why that shes been working with treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin to come up with a deal since july. The president said on twitter late tuesday that hes ready to sign a standalone bill for 1200 direct payment checks. But pelosi says thats just a fraction of the 2 trillion dollar package and democrats are asking for vote on the pact. Workers need to do for americas working families, the democrats in the house just simply didnt want to negotiate on just the covid issues but Missouri Republican senator roy blunt says democrats are to blame for the inaction they have added so much to the package. Were so intent on getting to a number rather than solving a problem democratic president ial nominee, joe biden said in a Campaign Speech in gettysburg that congress should pass a second stimulus bill immediately 210,000 americans. Could lose their lives by the end of the year. Enough President Trump has been sidelined from the campaign trail while he remains under quarantine isolated in the white house residence in washington, im anna warren, a key. Well happening tonight of course we have the Vice President ial debate the one and only one that will be held between senator Kamala Harris and Vice President mike pence but tonights debate will look a little different of course in the wake of President Trumps confirmed covid19 illness, some of the changes include putting a plexiglas between pence and harris. We have chip yost with more on what else we can expect tonight. Hello there due to recent events and the respective ages of donald trump and joe biden some are calling this the most important Vice President ial debate in history, the university of utah has been planning for this debate for nearly a year in now the days here, heres what the debate stage will look like. President first with standins acting as the candidates, the finishing touches were being put on the debate stage where senator Kamala Harris and Vice President mike pence will square off wednesday night the debate will be held at the university of utahs Kingsbury Hall unlike the fiery president ial debate last week the Vice President ial candidates will be seated. Theyll be space just more than 12 feet apart due to covid related Safety Missions many expected viewership topbe huge especially given the questions raised following President Trumps recent hospitalization with covid19 this is probably the most important Vice President ial debate that happened in our lifetimes. I mean because up be good a job to president ial candidates. So i think youre going to have a lot of voters tuning in under this sort of muck all question in up what might we get no matter which one of these guys for harris part of that could mean pushing back against the most liberal senator in washington label she was once given in 4 pence it could mean defending his work on the president s Coronavirus Task force. One of the specific topics will be chosen by the moderator usa, todays Washington Bureau chief susan page and in another sign of the times will the candidates will not be wearing masks. There will be plexiglass barriers set up between them in Salt Lake City on chip yost reporting. Well again, the Vice President ial debate begins at 6 oclock tonight you can watch it right here on kron 4 will have it live for you and then immediately following it were going to have live reaction in an indepth analysis with kron fours Catherine Heenan shes the host of inside bay area politics. Well have a roundtable of analysts and will be picking apart. What we see play out tonight. Now lets talk wildfires the glass fire burning in the north bay has scored 67,000 plus acres. We have numbers on containment this morning at 58 so has gone up a little bit. 600 homes and other structures have been burned down and theyre still more than 20,000 in harms way. Napa valley wineries some of the hardest hit by the fire 17 have burned out yeah in fact weve got more on the story now from kron fours will tran hes up in napa county with a look. At some of the destruction this morning well. Look right behind me james and area this is brehmer a family winery and as you can see the fire raced through this area and has scorched some of the vineyards good news though it looks like predominantly this location has been saved including the buildings, its still smoldering even though it went through here more than a week ago. They say that the vineyards a very resilient, but unfortunately, not just at this location, but throughout all the wineries in napa county they all took on some form of smoke some worse than others but the grapes a lot of times might not be able to be salvaged unfortunately for that and thats why theyre thinking about maybe turning wine into brandi let me show you some video of another winery just right down the road in calistoga now when this fire ripped through the area people were told evacuate, they didnt care if you are winery and yet millions of dollars get our lives are on the line so they all raced out at that havent winery in calistoga fortunately for them or unfortunately how nerve wracking is it to go to another location and watch the fired dick closer and closer through Surveillance Video to your winery. They did. A guy gets some sort of damage but it looks like they will be okay. By some incredible miracle. They save our winery. Theres really no words from a still are winery is a 100 year old redwood barn. Its tinderbox and he. The fact saved it is is is beyond my heart is just my heart is beating fast now telling you this story they saved it. They saved her winery they saved this winery and often times what happened was the workers they put down their equipment they picked up the hoses and they started fighting as best as they possibly could until the firefighters arrived, you can see what it did to this land youre down the road the burgess winery unfortunately that winery went up in flames, the restaurant at meadowood that also went up in flames and that is famous. Among celebrities. We dont know the full extent just yet newest face its in the millions of dollars we dont know the full extent of the damage or destruction until that people are allowed to return.

Hey not all that bad we are in for a cooler day in part due to that gray thats pushing across the bay area timber on right here not the brightest just yet cold front to our north and some tropical moisture to our south now these 2 factors have been combining over the past couple of weeks to make it look like we could see some rainfall in the future and it will happen for areas of the pacific northwest, but that chance of rainfall back here at home really starting to diminish especially on friday. Rainfall looking less and less likely as models come through showing a good chance of rain for the pacific northwest, but bay area stepping back off the gas pedal little bit for rain chances to start the weekend. Now saturday. We do see our better chance of rainfall for the weekend ahead, especially Mendocino County northward on up into the pacific northwest, north bay areas like Sonoma County in the vicinity, the glass fire could see some light showers and thats actually ideal got a fresh burn scar up there still some fire activity in crews still need access to some of those burned areas so the last thing you need is a washout just a little sprinkle some light rainfall to help at least to alleviate some of that fire threat of north temperatures today, cooler as i mentioned part of that is due to the deep in marine layer which is going to stay put little bit longer today going to take a while for this great a burn off today and that means once we do see sunshine temperatures will be moderated enough that will be welcomed by some pretty cool temperatures. 60s and 70s for bayside areas while at our warmest only the 80s livermore at 80 degrees dublin. Pleasanton in the upper 70s. Well, oakland at 67. Concord up through Vacaville Fairfield antioch in pittsburgh, all either low to mid 80s today. Temperatures towards the coast as you would expect on a foggy day like today. A little bit cooler with 50s in point rays. Tomorrows temperatures will be even cooler yet as cooler air from the pacific northwest. I showed you just a second ago begins to push on into the region temperatures stay in the 70s that are warm us through the upcoming weekend. Fridays chances of rainfall i mentioned diminishing saturday, were Still Holding on to that chance of showers especially in the north bay. Robin all right, thank you john were heading back to the san mateo bridge because we need to check in on 92, its been tough this morning after a couple of crashes and a stall. And looking at this live shot, its still quite slow on the hayward side this is just west of the toll plaza. You see how just comes to a crawl on the flat section its going to stay like that up and over the high rise as we enter foster city and right after the high rise is when traffic starts to pick up so youre averaging about 34 minutes, its low enough to get out there early for that trip to the peninsula because you dont want to be late here at the bay bridge recovering from a crash was on the eastern span before Treasure Island. And it just actually never recovered so its backed up all the way through the bottom of so heading into San Francisco this morning get out there early because it is packed but it does clear up west of Treasure Island, so its not this bad all the way across here at the richmond sandra fell this is nice. We got some early clearing to the north bay 8 minutes and trouble free off to one oh one and traffic tracker just showing some freeways and drive times not bad at all check out 2 8011 minutes from san jose to cupertino back to you. And the buzz its happening covid is spreading in the nfl gruden better keep that mask up because its finally reached the raiders defensive tackle Maurice Hurst is the first man down you may think thats not a big deal but he played 35 snaps against the bill so now they have to watch it. And who else on the raiders has been around him meantime the raiders are continuing to watch derek carr and 9 other players who got too close for covid at that fundraiser and the patriots have another case cornerback Stephon Gilmore somehow caught it even after the great lakes. The team went to to keep anybody who bit around cam newton separate flying 2 planes to mondays game in kansas city and now the probably freaking out because look at how close gilmore got to Patrick Mahomes gilmore played every defensive snap. In mondays game. Just as the titans once covid gets role and they just had 2 more players. Test positive that makes 22 people with that club in just a week. Yes, theres a chance but going to be easy for the as since they dug themselves to haul in the American LeagueDivision Series and the astros did even cheat at least i did hear anything in trash cans game 2 started out just like game one promising. With a chris davis home run but then George Stringer got the in the astros wind up on top 5 to 2. After the game bob melvin audition for the musical annie puts the astros on top.

There is a time right now and i take a peek outside we do john good morning what are you saying well not a whole lot guys look at this view from berkeley, it is very foggy out there for some areas and very cloudy if youre right along the bay looking up at that fog. Now part of the reason we are going to be so much cooler today is because of this dense or marine layer which is going to take its time in burning off watch out for lower visibility areas this morning keep the jacket on hand this morning and then look for to brighter skies and comfortable conditions later on today. We still do have moderate air quality and still under the spare the air alert for just another day. So we make our way into the afternoon these temperatures which will remain cool through the morning will gradually rise taking us back into the 60s 70s and our warmest just the low 80s. Those 90s nowhere to be found at least for the next 7 days. Temperatures today in san jose mid 70s for you while oakland and San Francisco in the 60s. Robin. Thank you john were checking in on our bridges which are slowly getting back to normal after a number of minor incidents, but those minor incidents left a lot of heavy traffic behind so lets head over to 92 were checking in on the san mateo bridge where we have 2 crashes and a stall at one point it was almost 40 minutes to the peninsula now were down to 20 thats better but still crowded here on the flat section over to the bay bridge traffic has not recovered from our earlier crashes. Everythings out of the way, but its just really heavy behind the toll plaza so coming from oakland, its from the bottom of the maze up the incline toward the tunnel but west of Treasure Island youre going to see traffic then out and were finally delay free and looking good here at the richmond sandra fell wide open 8 minutes into the north bay back to you. Thanks a lot. Lets get back to our big story which is President Trump abruptly ending Coronavirus Relief talks that would have put money in the hands of americans and Small Businesses from with bigger nancy pelosi wasnt negotiating in good faith. So he pushed the talks until after the election, but then several hours later he up ended after a pending the negotiations and sending the stock market really into a spiral at the end of the day he backpedaled and tweeted quote the house and senate should immediately approved 25 billion dollars for Airline Payroll support and 135 billion dollars per paycheck. Protection programs for Small Businesses and then a few hours after that sent out another tweet saying that he would also consider a bill that would give americans 1200 dollars stimulus checks. So theres a lot of confusion on the part of lawmakers as to what exactly the president wants after he said negotiations are over but then he says he does want something to sign after all. Well see. The president s decision to end the talks abruptly and the back and forth with congress has a doctorate ucsf questioning if the president is impaired from the drugs that he is taking for coronavirus a group of Infectious Disease specialist in San Francisco are reacting now to the president s diagnosis and treatment and kron fours dan kerman sat down and talk with them. President trumps covid diagnosis brought several ucsf Infectious Disease specialist together during the noon hour tuesday for an online discussion topic one how this super spreader event could have taken place in the white house rose garden, if you that were in fact the super spreading in fact that that there was somebody in there theres someone in there who has who either had symptomatic or now symptomatic. Disease. He was in very close contact with a number people and i dont think anybodys put that together yet. They also discussed how members of the public can reduce their risk during similar events. I think if you have a mask on and even even eyeglasses on and i realize we do. Safety glasses clinically even eyeglasses and i think that gives you a big leg up on protection. I learned so much about coronavirus. And one thing thats for certain dont. Let it dominate you. Dont be afraid of it. Since becoming infected. The president has chosen to downplay the seriousness of the virus. Well these experts agree there are positive outcomes theyve seen plenty that are not in all ages. Just because some people do well which im really glad the i wish everybody would do well but we know work for particularly they have risk factors. I dont like down my my cart and think we all need to have them live our lives. I have a lot of respect for him. From this even do everything we can to try to forward action. The president also tweeted hes looking forward to next weeks debate with joe biden but medical experts say its too early to say if the president s covid19 issues are behind him this shots folks at home. The magic day 7. They sunny require a lot of box and theyve come back into the hospital so ive seen few times medical experts here also not sure were getting the full story about the president s illness. They continue to pay close attention to the information that comes out of the white house as the rest of us are. A ucsf Dan Kerman Kron 4 news.

You know easy in gray up there around safari west right now, but sunshine reappears this afternoon for inland areas it will be a range of 70s to low 80s really nice day ahead. I got your forecast ahead. And if San Francisco is your destination get out there early if youre using the bay bridge traffic its not recovered from earlier problems as you can see its still stacked up here and its billed back to the bottom of fortyfives the time and more than 16,000 firefighters continue to battle 22 big fires that are happening right now in the state yeah and here in the bay area fire crews of course gearing up for what theyre worried maybe a longer fire fight ahead kron fours Haaziq Madyun explains. A battle against extreme wildfire behavior. That is how they area firefighters described this years fire season. This video from the glass fire shows exactly what firefighters are up against. Yeah, the past few weeks are far fires have seen some extreme fire behavior due to the triple digits in the red flag warning you know the temperatures have been very high the humiditys than very and has been extreme fire weather. You know weve seen some high winds and winds gets into the communities its all here is another video recorded by a bay area firefighting strike Team Including firefighters from Oakland Fremont hayward in Alameda County they say their Fire Departments are preparing for the possibility of these conditions to continue for the remainder of the fire season this season has wrapped up early this year and were just getting into october. Were just getting into november and you know theres people understand that this fire season may go through you know november, maybe even into december yeah, youre looking right here at the map showing all the different fires in the state this weekend. There is rain in the forecast but will that help firefighters on the frontlines yes and no. Its good that its going ap or activity of the fire itself on the north end of this particular part of the glass fire. You have very steep terrain very Hazardous Conditions are dozers are cutting roads and trails in the dirt which turns into much instantaneously in these cases which makes it very hausers for all equipment and putting as well has made you kron 4 so lets talk about doesnt feel bad this week the home, you know fire season, yeah, feel like its a little bit of rain to which is kind of helpful john yeah, definitely at least taking a bit of a breather from some of the worst of fire weather that we have been in the midst of guys its going to be some light sprinkles this weekend which will be very helpful and some cooler temperatures too so at least we can breathe easy for a few days as conditions will be favorable. Clouds overhead grey start to the morning. We do have some moisture to our south remnants of a tropical system and then to our west some cooler air which is going to continue to plummet into the region. Unfortunately, the latest model runs are showing that a whole lot of this is going to develop into measurable rainfall for the vast majority of the bay area in fact friday just downright fizzling out. Pacific northwest will get a good helping of that rainfall and all the way south to Mendocino County you had south of there and your chances really start to fizzle into saturday too. Now for the north bay we are expecting some light brief showers as we work our way into saturday which will be helpful just enough to get the ground wet. But also not enough to interrupt the firefight going up around the glass fire as well because the last thing you need is a washout up there in kerr cruz not to be able to access those fire lines as for todays daytime highs Still Holding on to some 80s but a lot cooler than we have been 60s at the coastline for a few spots mixed in with those 50s while 60s and 70s for bayside areas today burlingame at 71 foster city 69 while palo alto at 70 degrees, south bay temperatures in the mid 70s, mostly san jose youll be in i 75 today with 60s and 70s from hey were down to Fremont Livermore 80 degrees today conquered also 80 while oakland at 67, north bay temperatures anywhere from the 70s to 80s vacaville down through antioch in the 80s while santa rosa and center fell and areas in between all in the mid 70s. Tomorrows temperatures really taken tumble from the whole 80s today to the sec these that are warmest for thursday. We stay that way through the weekend see our really taking a step back from those peak of fire weather conditions. Friday, the slightest of chance of maybe a couple of sprinkles and saturday, your best chance of showers will be for the north bay so as chances really are fizzling but it is looking like it will be at least mild into early next week. So this forecast is overall cooler and just a little bit more comfortable. Robin. Well the morning commute is looking much better and traffic has been down on all of our bridges except for the bay bridge. Thats the slowest one right now. We are trouble free into San Francisco but weve had several minor incidents, nothing working right now.
