All right gail and now turning to the glass fire tonight that blaze has burned more than 67,000 acres in napa and sonoma counties. Containment is at 70 and we are learning the crews expect to fully contain the fire. In about 2 weeks how that fire has destroyed more than 600 homes and it still threatens more than 3,000 structures by weather time now as we take a live look above San Francisco tonight. This is the embarcadero out there and you can see a bit of a breeze certainly much cooler today than what weve been experiencing. Joining us now chief meteorologist Lawrence Karnow who is tracking the winds as glass fire continues to burn out. Yeah thinking that such a huge component with these fires and how theyre going to burn where theyre going to go within fortune over the last few days, firefighters really catching a break weve had that nice on shore wind that means the winds coming from the west from the ocean and moving further on shore and pushing east and that has really brought up the humidity and slow the fires down and at the same time youre seeing what that westerly wind continuing tonight a little pretty good breeze in the afternoon some those winds blowing as high as 15 Miles Per Hour certainly a break from what they had before words of that dry normally when you that nice moist when that slow those fires down right now weve got 10 mile an hour winds out of the west and sailing 14 and the pope valley 3 at soda springs and 9 Miles Per Hour. Glen ellyn but were going to see those winds begin to pick up this weekend and were going to a switch directions which is a huge part of the danger that may be coming our way over the weekend that certainly thats why firefighters really want to act on the fires quickly as they can to get full containment. See those westerly winds out there right now watch as we take you through time one of our computer models all of a sudden we get the weekend those winds go from south all the sudden a northerly direction by saturday night that is as High Pressure builds in behind a weak cold front will get pretty gusty, especially over the mountain top start look is orange were talking about some winds gusting over 30 Miles Per Hour as we get to sunday. I think a little bit stronger probably some 30 miles an hour down in the urban areas we may see some 40 mile an hour gusts over some of the mountain tops and you see that dry northerly component to the wind that will be the driver of that fire certainly get winds like that that can quickly spread those embers a Long Distance and spread the fire. Next couple days, the firefighters got another chance here were going to see that nice on shore pushes you all the green out there that is relative humidity running very high over the 90 percentile much of the bay area in the north bay and that will probably thinking up overnight tonight, well see plan that moisture moving well on short again as we head in toward the following morning, a surge of that on shore push moisture over 90 . So the atmosphere very saturated making it very hard for those fires to move but things are going to change as we get in toward the weekend as we head towards saturday night and sunday all of a sudden we start to see a northerly component win everything dries out that means of fires at least fire danger going to be running much higher saturday and into sunday. Thank you lawrence. So this doctor says that he fully expects trump to make a safe return to public engagements in just a matter of days that coming as the fate of the next president ial debate is still not quite clear. Joined now live by doctor dean winslow whos an Infectious Disease physician at stanford doctor winslow thanks sir being with us the president says he hopes to do a rally on saturday night. But its unclear if he has tested negative for covid since being infected. How can he planned to do a rally if he you know doesnt even know fee is covid positive. Now so theres a couple of things so theres actually 2 ways that have been pretty well validated that you know people can safely return to work for example, even if their Health Care Workers and one of them is that you have to be at least 10 days out from onset of symptoms of covid preferably at least 10 days out from you know when youre major symptom strictly seaver and cough there have resolved. We do know that the amount of infectious virus cent decreases pretty dramatically. About to 7 to 10 days after onset of illness in most people. So thats why its probably not although i would argue that that might be pushing it a little bit. To to do rally this coming weekend. We heard from the Vice President who says that time he is im not sick. Maybe this is a crisis in confidence right now its hard to know. You know what is real and what isnt is the is there source that it that the public can go to to have more of an insurance in the information. Yes, i i think again the centers for Disease Control web site has really been pretty nicely allstate Johns Hopkins university has a very website as well, which is a good place to go for a useful information about this disease and about whats going on in the United States you know how to keep yourself safe. Are you worried about Vice President pence he had events scheduled in indiana tomorrow they cancel it is going. Back to dc instead he had that read i who knows those pink eye or what have you you think theres any reason for concern there. You know again i uniteds use doctor so you know i couldnt really calm and for that but again you know hes been out i think at this point you know farther beyond that the 3 to 5 days or so that it normally if you test positive after youve been exposed and so you know this may just be coincidental. Im glad the Vice President s taking care of himself and as i said you know, hes had lots of opportunities to be exposed. So you know my anticipation is to probably get tested again. Doctor winslow i know that youre a medical expert and not a political one, there is a Speaker Pelosi is talking about. Creating a i a task force of of swords to deal with a possible 25th amendment and trying to do about line president ial transfer of power which would be related the president s. But fitness, what would you think what is the criteria and how would that work. Well its really interesting and again, im not a historian there have been several instances said in very recent history where the president has officially transferred power for short periods of to to the vice including i think even as recently as george w when he had a routine diagnostic colonoscopy but course was going to undergo sedation during that time and then of course you know weve had other instances in history going back out to woodrow wilson. Who was very very sick toward the end of his presidency and i dont believe in official transfer of power was but i do believe that you know we do degree of robustness stand. I think that was sort the line succession is and the Vice President would be the first for him to assume. Control and if the president were incapacitated and i think actually speaker of the house is pretty up near the top of list that remember correctly. So im not too concerned you know that that situation myself. The president is touting the antibody cocktail he got made by the company regeneron saying that he believes it cured is it possible that this is a breakthrough and that the president s illness may have sort of kick started the speed at which this could be produced in possibly could this help folks sooner than a vaccine. Well i think i think the answer you know its its it is possible, but i would like to remind the viewers the a cocktail of twoman called the advice is still in Clinical Trials and im not aware of any interim analysis being done i certainly think it was since compound has been tested and is it safe enough for the president to it received it off label. But again we really wont know how educations it is until we actually examined the data from the ongoing phase, 3 trials and again and she stanford has been studying this truck along with a number of other institutions in the u. S. Thank you doctor and yes, theyll fashion saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I suppose we just dont want to let our selves become exposed to covid if we if we can help it. Thats right. I really urge everyone to be still very very careful and or so you know where your face coverings wash your hands frequently. You know do do whats right. Great thank you so very much for joining a doctor from stanford dean winslow thank you doctor winslow vicki alluded to this a warning from House Speaker nancy pelosi coming today signaling that the democrats could once again be talking about possibly removing the president from office or at least trying to yes. Speaker pelosi says tomorrow she will be talking about the 25th amendment which outlines the president ial transfer of power procedures are Catherine Heenan host of inside bay area politics explains. Pelosi is introducing a bill to set up a commission on president ial capacity. But first as she was talking to reporters about the coronavirus today. She suddenly said this. What are we talking about here. Tomorrow by the way. Tomorrow. Come here tomorrow, were going to be talking about the 25th amendment but not to take attention away from the subject we have now. You think its time to invoke the 25th amendment. Talked about that tomorrow. Attachment to monitoring data today except to tell you. If you want to bet that well see you tomorrow but you take me back to my point. Mister president. When was the last time you had a negative test. Before you tested positive. Why is the white house not telling. The country. Pelosi later said the president might be and what she called an altered state of mind because of the drugs hes taken to treat covid19 of course to actually remove the president from office through a constitutional amendment pelosi would have to convince Senate Republicans to agree and the Vice President would have to sign off on that at this point anyway that seems highly unlikely but we will hear more about that new bill tomorrow in detail. It would create a commission to determine whether a president is fit for office. Vicki and grant. Thank you catherine, so what sort of power does the 25th amendment authorize should the president become incapacitated well Political Science professor william, howell explains. Section 4 of the 25th amendment dictates is that the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet can. Come forward to say no were going to. The president has to relinquish his powers and they will instead be given to the to the Vice President gore to the next in line of succession. Again it will be highly unlikely for the president s cabinet members to. Remove him from Office Highly likely we are now just 26 days from the november election by the way crown for of course your local election headquarters this election season. It does not look like next weeks president ial debate is going to happen no doesnt that President Trump has said that he refuses to participate in a virtual debate. And tonight the Debate Commission is saying that it will not let the candidates face off in person next week due to the president. Covid diagnosis and it doesnt sound like joe biden plans on participating either biden announced today, he will instead participate in a town hall on october 15th. The date originally slated for the debate Vice President mike pence is canceling Campaign Events in traveling back to washington d c. The Vice President s spokesperson said that.

Delta is gaining strength as it. New years the u. S. Plus San Francisco leaders are taking a stand tonight against the growing number of Violent Crimes against the elderly asian and prop 22 on the November Ballot was introduced by Rideshare Companies to get drivers back to contractor status jackie, im looking at your mri. Your shoulder seems to be healing nicely. Well, dr. Farrell, it feels really good. Thats good. And. Im sorry. Baby, dont touch that. I dont want you to play with that. singing twinkle, twinkle little star. How i wonder what you are. still singing up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Im so glad that your shoulder is feeling better. But, how are you doing . Im hanging in there. Schedule a video visit with your doctor. And get quality care with no copay. Kaiser permanente. Thrive. In the tubbs fire. The flames, the ash, it was terrifying. Thousands of family homes are destroyed in wildfires. Families are forced to move and higher property taxes are a huge problem. Prop 19 limits taxes on wildfire victims so families can move without a tax penalty. Nineteen will help rebuild lives. Vote yes on 19. The unfair money bail system. He, accused of rape. While he, accused of stealing 5. The stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. The Senior Citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. Voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. Because the size of your wallet shouldnt determine whether or not youre in jail. Vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail. Your companies are behind prop 22 which is on the ballot. They want to reverse a law that went into effect this year that classifies their drivers as employees, instead of contractors. This is a direct response to the highly contested ab 5 which group to all kinds of gig workers into that law. So the monae and reports other prop 22 leaves the rest of them behind focusing only on rideshare delivery drivers, some say its a step in the right direction she joins us now live from the newsroom with activates al became grant prop, 22 looks like part of a piecemeal approach that weve seen all your longest different attempts to take down e b 5. Have taken jobs throughout the year. The difference is that this initiative zeros in specifically on the industry for which v 5 backers claimed it was intended to help. Prop 22 takes aim at the highly contested ab 5 but giving Companies Like uber lyft and doordash which are behind the initiative a chance to reverse course. Drivers now considered employees would return to being contracted workers. But hector gusty and those who drives for uber and lyft says hes opposing prop 22 because he wants Employee Benefits to remain which werent available when he needed them most i dont have any Workers Compensation i was a small label for war on children i was super but for me at that time because of course all around if they dont help me. Well thats one of reasons why im fighting for these might that have to drop off the School Started working. So i it was a it was a very very bad storm and that the Bay Area Council is one of Many Organizations backing prop 22. Saying that it brings back the freedom of the flexibility that was a big draw in the first place, prop 22 proposes reclassifying drivers as contractors while meeting them halfway but promising an earnings of at least 120 minimum wage for the hours put in partially paying for health care through subsidies and covering costs of up to 1 Million Dollars in the event of an accident. A lot of these really support proposition 22 they want the flexibility so you know think youre you know a number of surveys of many of these workers and show that of 75 or more like to have the this independent model. Saw prop 22 doesnt address everyone affected by ab 5. Supporters say that the nearly 200 Million Dollars behind the proposition at least chips away at it giving the rest hope to free themselves to but i think these companies wanted to have to invest the time and money and energy that it takes to pass an is an Initiative Like this california, but they felt like they had no choice they were given no and so you know that it was they were left with no fan of the draconian measures under 85 and the followup legislation and you know they they were really given no choice move forward so this is the better, you know i think you know for an attempt to to try and provide some stability security for independent contractors address many of the issues that they have about tells of hours and those types of and this is not the end of the conversation. So well just have to see what Voters Decide on prop 22 and november in the meantime i spoke with the business owner, who are still reeling from ab 5 a small Dance Company actually just cant afford to pay their artist says employees so that owner hopes a prop 22 will bring attention to the shortcomings of 85 by using big money from these app based company said hustling contractors just dont have preventing many more of them from effectively mobilizing against ab 5 live in the newsroom.

For all of us. Yeas face their playoff demons last round when they took down the white sox for their first playoff series win since 2006. This round more like a big brother little brother series with the astros being the big brothers. Oakland had another chance to get a couple licks in on big bro and extend that season. Bob melvin probably doesnt appreciate me referring to his team as the little brother, but lets face the facts, houston has dominated the a l for years so its typically that division but bottom of second Ramon Laureano gets things going for oakland thats a threerun home run off zack greinke he is a 3 nothing game. As things looking good top of the 4th though carlos continues his hot play at the plate and bless the Frankie Montas fastball back over the bay bridge 3 shot home run 5, 3, astros next any. Michael brantley makes history this solo shot sets a Division Series record 23rd home run combined for the 2 teams in this series. Afterthe extend that lead to 6 for houston which were 3 more to make it 94 then in the 7th. Jose puts the finishing touches on this one a 2 run blast 11 for astros the as scored a couple of times in the 9th, but it wasnt enough. Once again oakland comes up short in the playoffs, the astros get the last laugh, theres a lot of chatter leading up to this series. Lets hear from bob melvin after the game. Ramones homerun felt like a 1000 run homer the time we felt really good about where were going frankie was pitching really well i had good stuff, good below good breaking ball. And then all of a sudden a beginning kind of derailed a little bit and then we just couldnt hold him down after that unfortunately. Were just 3 days ahead of kickoff and niners fans everywhere are still eagerly awaiting the status of Jimmy Garoppolo you practice again today in a limited capacity. We probably wont know until saturday if he is going to play this week. If jimmy cant go it will be nick mullens or cj beathard under center for the red and gold both leave a lot to be desired but hey thats life in nfl injuries, happen. Tight end George Kittle who has also missed some time with a minor knee injury this season was asked today, how jimmy g was looking on the practice field. Looks very handsome. Out in the field still got a rocket arm. Hes still throwing the ball which is a good thing so im excited about those 3 things.
