Well after he cast his vote the president got back on the campaign trail attending rallies in North Carolina, ohio and wisconsin. As he spoke in wisconsin. The president claimed the u. S. Coronavirus reporting system was quote a little bit backwards and that hospitals were over classifying deaths from the virus. Some countries report differently if somebody sick with a heart problem and they die of covid they say they died of a heart problem if somebodys terminally ill with cancer. And they have covid. We and you know doctors get more money and hospitals get more money to get this incentive. So some countries do it differently.

While at the same time promising not to let private companies exploit federal resources. I would do not i will not ban fracking i said no fracking on federal land the coal and knew she knew Natural Gas Industry and oil is not going to be fundamentally changed. Theyre already in transition, what im saying is that we will not continue to subsidize give tax breaks to the Oil Companies which are amount to 40 billion dollars.

We just want to see really answers like we. We dont really know when were going to get to play again and thats really scary. I was a teenager. Scary frustrating and isolating is how these marine county soccer players described the last few months of the pandemic theyre acting having interaction is really. Really helpful to your personal health and without that its kind of like harden especially with online learning. Now they are at home and on your screen all day. Its just even tougher as california moves forward with reopening, theyre still no word on when youth sports can resume its very frustrating knowing that people can go to amusement parks and movie theaters and we cant play. Sports which is a huge part of our lives, the golden state is one of just 2 in the country that are allowing competition and these High School Juniors worry it could impact their chances of playing in college. Its really stressful. Its really hard seeing teams are on the rest of the country who are playing games. And it makes us feel like were falling really far behind because when we do get to play actual games in College Coaches get to be there. The teams have been playing together for months will be so much farther further ahead of us mom holly casey says she and other parents have tried to reach county and state leaders with little success. She says it seems like you sports have been put on the backburner. And its gone on for far too long not just sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. So its really frustrating and the fact that it just hasnt been addressed since august and were now getting to the end of october. Its a failure. I feel like on everybodys part. Well i was callum mills reporting for us this morning now the Governors Office said it would have an update on new sports policy coming up in the next couple of days.

Election Officials Say it was a clerical error to blame. Michelle wolf explains. When i went up to get my information the woman said youre trouble so most of us said. I cant imagine why. And she said let me find out and then we that she told me we both looked each other she said. Its a shoot dead have leonard and his wife, marianne have voted in every election since they moved to high point almost 4 decades ago. Every 2 years they vote early at the deep river rec center. But this year mary ann was not listed as a registered voter she was just flabbergasted by the fact that she was off the roll urias confused and worried. Oh my goodness, this is a year when so much is going on and so much has happened. And so many people have died the thought of possible voter fraud. Popped into my mind after several polls to the county and state board of elections. The leonards found out a clerical error caused marions mixup the state sent a list of people who passed away to Guilford County and there happens to be a woman with a similar name and birth marianne it is just a warning to people to be cautious if youre mailing in your vote you would never know this pat tells fox 8 he and his wife will be sure to look up the registration next time and encourage others to do the same so you dont want to go on election day and find out that youre not eligible for election. Well thats a good warning for all of us isnt it. That was Michelle Wolf reporting. Now luckily, this in this case. Mary ann was voting early and she had time to re register and then vote again if the couple and waited until election day or if they voted absentee they say her vote likely would not have been counted.

Good morning, welcome back 8. 13 this morning and weve been talking about the red flag warning for the bay area that takes effect later on today and dave i understand its going to be in phases that right right thats how theyre going to install it its going to start off first in those Higher Elevations, its going to kick in late this morning and then by this afternoon like Santa Cruz Mountains and then the lower elevations kick in for tonight for everybody. And then start to become lifted as we get into the late Morning Hours on monday but still will be around for some of those Higher Elevations, a little later than that want to give you the macro view the whole wide view you can see the clouds starting to move in precipitation. This direction is kind of ahead of our frontal boundary behind that spilling in thats on the western side thats where that cooler but drier air is moving in getting some compression ul heating and thats that blow when were very familiar with live shot coming in from walnut creek, everybodys kind of dealing with cloudy skies to start but again this dry air is going to clear out that elevated fog. Heres another shot of a 2 and future cast for Going Forward with this we can see the fog being suppressed down by the dry air spilling in basically having its origins in central canada. Temperatures for us when the upper 50s for right now santa rosa 53 east bay shoreline hayward 5953 for freeman and 56, san jose. So lets get to the winds now its going to like a spring breeze to start over good chunk of the region, however, up say about noon hour. So it starts to get a little heavy there in coming from the wrong direction offshore. Look at all the arrows pointing north easterly and northerly all the way until monday evening at about 6. Now from that point the winds start to left and we see a little weak event happening of winds kind of variable or coming from a good direction from the south or even on shore in some areas. But its going to do little effect for the humidity levels thats the major factor the kind of carries the ball beyond this its not just the one hit and then were done its that were left with this dry air place basically in place so here comes in no mistaking that by this afternoon and evening. This is over night to monday morning as you can see this is when we get quote recovery and typically we color in green and there, but its far too dry for that so lets go forward here. This takes us out to tuesday overnight. No recovery, no green as you can see. Wednesday we go out to thursday, no recovery still were still backing off of a dry atmosphere humidity levels in the teens luckily for that point we will have winds but well still have that dry air forecast today, were taking care of the Morning Clouds turning mostly sunny at 68 San Francisco, 71 for oakland and san jose your check in at about 69 for a high dont forget those winds are kind of mixing up in interrupting heating plus the origins of the air mass is a little bit cool mid 70s off to the far east bay, rosa. And a quick check in your 70 forecast we see a little warmup happen by the end of the week also for the bay side mid 70s and at the coast were talking lower 70s marty. All right dave thanks a lot. We have some Big National News this morning to tell you about the chief of staff for Vice President mike pence. Has tested caught positive for covid19 4 other of the v ps close advisers have also tested positive earlier in the week. Both of them often travel with the Vice President , but both of the Vice President and his wife tested negative for covid on saturday. The Vice President s president s office says he will continue to campaign. Mike pence of course the head of the White House Coronavirus task force and these positive tests of once again raising new questions about covid safety protocols at the white house. Election headquarters this election season were now just down to 9 days from the november, 3rd election and as many as 52 million khalaf people around the country have a cast her ballot either by mail or through early voting and that includes President Trump who voted in person he was is in palm beach florida saturday morning. Im looking for a guy named trump. And no big surprise there after he cast a vote. The president got back on the campaign trail attending rallies in North Carolina, ohio and wisconsin. When he was in wisconsin. The president claimed the u. S. Coronavirus reporting system was quote a little bit backwards and that hospitals were over classifying deaths from the virus. Some countries report differently if somebody sick with a heart problem and they die of covid they say they died of a heart problem if somebodys terminally ill with cancer. And they have covid. We and you know doctors get more money and hospitals get more money to give this incentive show some countries do it differently if somebody is very sick with a bad heart they die of covid they dont get reported this covid so then you wonder, gee i wonder why the case is a solo. Discuss tree and the reporting systems are really not doing a drive. Well the president also said he would make the drug that he said he took to fight the virus available to anyone who needs it. President is referring to regeneron which he was given when infected with the virus earlier this month. Meantime democratic president ial candidate joe biden was campaigning in the battleground state of pennsylvania. He had some star power on hand including jon bon jovi who put on a small concert at the rally. Pennsylvania is seen as a key state for both campaigns and biden tried to appeal to the natural gas and Oil Companies that contribute thousands of jobs in the keystone state while the same time promising not to let private companies exploit federal resources. I would do not i will not ban fracking i said no fracking on federal land the coal and issue new Natural Gas Industry and oil is not going to be fundamentally changed. Theyre already in transition, what im saying is that we will not continue to subsidize give tax breaks to the Oil Companies which are amount to 40 billion dollars. Well next the Biden Campaign will head to georgia to try and flip that state blue is well its something that hasnt happened since 1992. And the senate will be holding a procedural vote later today and a final vote tomorrow on the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett won crucial backing this weekend from one of the last republican holdouts against filling the seats so close to the election. Thats alaska senator Lisa Murkowski who says she will now vote to confirm barrett because she doesnt want the to hold that i mean against a nominee who so qualified. Democrats are still trying to stop the vote, but they simply dont have the numbers to do so baratz confirmation will give the Supreme Court a 63 conservative majority. And still ahead this morning, a woman is begging for answers after her mother was hit by a car and then left on the side of the road. Well have the latest on the investigation coming up thats after the break. A fairfield woman is baking the person responsible for her mothers death in a hit and run to come forward Rowena Shaddox has now the latest on the investigation. She was just left there, you know you wouldnt do that to an animal. And it just makes me sad chorus stewart continues to grapple with the thought of someone hitting her mother with a car then leaving her on the side of the roadway. A neighbor noticed her mother namie stewart lying in the street and contacted police no one has taken responsibility just come forward i theres no illwill no bad intentions at you know. Thats not where were at it and its understandable if it was an accident it happened torres says her mom died after doctors tried desperately to save her. Im so used to hearing her voice and not hearing it for the last couple of days. Has bothered me her parents made fairfield are home in 1963 after her dad got out of the military and continued working at Travis Air Force base she says it wasnt unusual for her mother to be Walking Around even at night because she was a night owl. But when she hadnt returned to the house after several hours cora went to her mothers own home about a mile away she wasnt there so she called police but they had nothing to report and then about 45 minutes later get you know that really loud pop because i called police got or you know and theyre bringing her. It was the corner. Yesterday morning. So we just said that she was involved in hit and run accident. And that she passed away. At the hospital cora says not only is namie missed by her family including her 2 sons of people loved her she was friendly she talked to everybody she was extremely personable and she loved well as Rowena Shaddox reporting for us this Morning Police have not yet released any information about either the car that was involved or may who may have been behind the wheel at the time of the accident but they say that theyre still investigating. Well coming up straight ahead, were going to get an update on that red flag warning and the potential power shot office that are facing the bay area later today days are keeping an eye on that and i didnt choose this job because it was easy. But i cant say i expected this. To fight these fires, we need funding plain and simple. For this crisis, and for the next one.

And all to be responsible and talking about reservations which is what you mentioned is the smart way to go. How big a party or a lot of the winerys accepting now. Its honestly its very from property to property and a lot of it has to do with how big of an outdoor space in many instances, the winery winery can offer so thats something you really want to check as well i would say if you have to average it probably not any bigger than cents or is probably more the norm, ok sounds good right, lets move on to lena.

Youll see that just about everywhere even in downtown San Franciscos very much possibility to course that 10th these any time you get up to about. 40 Miles Per Hour lot of folks will see gusts like that easily this is what were talking about though there is a spurt of winds coming late this afternoon evening overnight. Through tomorrow morning and after that the bulk of the when program is over, but again those Higher Elevations, yeah you might get him up to the upper 60s as a potential there. This is the live shot coming in from timber on we store dealing with the warning cloud cover the morning fog that aloft. Heres the up close and personal shot of the golden gate to the flag is kind of limp there so we dont have much the way of winds yet. They will be pointing in offshore direction later on this afternoon temperatures pretty much in the 50s and 60s as a sidebar know too you folks up north way up north lake county for example, youre looking at potentially some from frost and freeze warnings going on in windshield in areas from all of this too we can actually get an idea this dry air moving through on future cast for this is the cloud cover in the lower moisture gets pushed out by midafternoon that will be the dry air that will settle in stay with us the wakeup planner well well start things off mostly cloudy as youve been seeing most temperatures are in the 50s by high noon were getting through the 60s should see the sun up of the wind building through this afternoon sunny with temperatures into the 70s now coming up. Well take a look the 4 zone forecast but also kind of plot for you this so when arriving and also that extended forecast as well marty in the well. All right, thanks a lot and with that red flag warning comes of course the threat of a Public Safety shut off you know we are joined live on the phone now by melissa sub oaten from pg and east and give us a little bit more detail about what areas theyre paying attention to the most melissa. Thank you so much for joining us. Usually were only focused on either the north and east bays or the east bay in the south bay, but this high fire danger really is impacting all of us here. In the bay which areas are you guys closely keeping an eye on right now. Good morning, thanks for having me get this is that. Pretty significant pretty widespread and were making it to impact. At close to 4. 40 county. Right now were looking specifically at around 36 to 38 county. Number here in the bay area. And the highest probability for areas that yeah, yeah and i include terrain of the northern and western sacramento valley, the northern and central here well as higher terrain of the bay area including in a creek mountain Central Coast region and portions of tarrant county. Wege been hearing in berkeley where theyre advising people to to evacuate ahead of the possibility. Of a what about the Berkeley Hills area and power shut offs. Berkeley Oakland Hills area. Yeah, im not able to be cannot i dont have information the recommendation but i can tell you that the county attorney for currently monitoring here in the bay area alameda. Hunter call them are in napa santa clara, a law now and now and work by thing that the public a few power shut off boat county would begin. Some time this afternoon and extend through the evening. This afternoon early this afternoon or around 04 05pm. Yet though. No go one way and so we do have some Public Safety power shot at getting the morning. For northern part of our service area only baghlan humble shop to county that area. But for bay area were looking at this afternoon that could begin early in the afternoon industry, the key thing. The customer should should check on our piet yeah website the great tool you can put in your address look at your think think find out when the anticipated time or the energy station and booked her for you and potential recreation time that got on flash he of 8. If one of the greatest tools we have for our customers to go in. Up to date on the latest information. I understand a lot of the customers receive notification on which would be quite early it seems like pg and e has gotten this part of the down in terms of just notifying people. Thats right, you know were really aiming to give our customers as much notification as possible. Beginning in some instances when possible 72 hour 48 hour and you know in in some instances covered may be notified in it. Well in advance and then it turns out there at yeah, yeah event may not necessarily be called to area but its really our goal communicate is the minute we get it is kind whether sit down. Materializing and looking like theres a really high probability in they could be impacted and we do our best to communication of them get high email. In some instances even go door to door. You guys have also been pretty good at making them shorter this year i know last year a lot of folks were pretty frustrated with how with the length of how long their power was shut off how long are we expecting this round of psps is to be for people. Its our effort this year to make our event moller inside shorter in length and murder for our customers. A week and a lot of time reviewing. You know how we communicated and duration and scope and events from last year and have committed que to really evaluate and you are back to be at the fifa possibly can. And again make the event smaller in size shorter in length and murder of them are. Melissa without getting too technical how are you able to do that. Weve taken several different approaches weve upgraded our electric that them to prevent major wildfires and reduce the number of properties affected were working to reduce the amount of time the customers will be without power for the yeah yeah event we understand how different the evidence for our community be without power year were working to make that yes yes, but then. Easier on customers by providing better information and resources for them and the community before during and after the event. Are there more crews out to help restore the power or because that we do know there was a report that came out just about a week or so ago saying that now 90 of your staff is trained on the psps process whereas last year that was not the case so it is is it more crew out there is that what allows it to be shorter. Yeah, absolutely we have taken several that hugh deploy more a cruise for inspection and recreation effort. We have nearly doubled our exclusive news helicopter fleet from 35 to 6 65 the year and were you think you airplanes that infrared cameras that are capable one of the trolling and acting the transmission lines that night so it really ramp up those resources and the minute that were given the allclear when have subsided we have crew mobileye in position to begin patrolling that we can restore power it enough that it could you tell. Roughly how long does it take to restore power once its been shut off. Again it varies because we ate we conduct our psps event. In some instances like this one in in different ways depending on how the model but you realize where the wing. Are coming in over urban area. But were expecting for this event that we should be. Thing the winds subside on monday with in some instances they could linger through tuesday. But were looking for a weather all clear how the early as monday. With power being restored and ages monday night through tuesday night. Okay. Melissa that website again for people who might not have themselves signed up for the alerts. He came in the dot com. Get it, yes, short for Public Safety power shutoff of media dot com slash. Yeah, and just to go back to your last question how the power the board. When we have that weather all clear we begin patrolling, we isolate and repair any damage that we well begin restoring power. In a possibly can and will be getting that notification doctor happened i go. Were encourage customers to take the lead i look for those notifications and hopefully those winds are going to die down. Tomorrow we can begin that process if we can. Yeah above all lets hope that theres not a whole lot of damage that pg e crews have to repair so electricity gets on much more quickly. Melissa thank you so much for joining us and sharing this its going to be a very very busy next 24 hours or so. Thats right thanks for having me. As Melissa Bodden from you need. And well have more information on our including the link to a pg and es website as well, definitely well Officials Say that the wind could be as strong or stronger than those during the devastating 2017 while one country fire sets right kron fours reyna harvey is live in berkeley shes talking with some people who could be dealing psps reyna. Martina well, im so glad youre able to talk to pg any and kind of get a time frame on how long the powers going to be out thats a major concern for a lot of people most of people here in the bay area know that their power could potentially be shut off. Now theyre just trying to figure out how long is there food going to go bad a lot of other things now out here the wind is starting to kind of pick up there was no when maybe about 30 minutes ago or so but now its really starting to get a little gusty out here as you can already see some of that wind starting to taper into the bay area, especially here in the berkeley area the major concern for a lot of officials not only is the fire risk, but its also. The lands in the trees that potentially fall down the loo scaffolding as well as the tents in the area a lot of residents going to the store trying to grab things and get prepared. Officials are telling people to make sure they have their id. Their water. Definitely have a change of clothes if they can in that to go back if they are asked to leave ive been talking to people who may have their lights off in just a few hours take a listen. Well see what these fires have been doing to really people all around california and even across the u. S. You know the west so if the house decided to avoid potential damages. Whats the property. I think its walk grounds people up green song so that they can saw up there with i really needed here Health Conditions that can be without power. They had to you know we could have a backup plans to make sure that you know really affect its definitely worth it in my opinion. Nearly a 100,000 people could be affected by this so if its not happening directly to you i assure you you probably know someone who may happen to were going to bring you full coverage throughout the day so make sure you stick with kron 4 for now reporting here in Berkeley Reyna harvey kron 4 it is all right thanks for that report. Good morning dave ok, lets talk about nice now for a couple days so and heres a look at high temperatures we have projected across the region not particularly very lofty but its coming with winds and dry air mass as well, your 4 zone forecast and then extended along the right to the kron 4 morning news tips. Im jerome gage. Im a fulltime lyft driver. When this pandemic first started, i bought my own ppe because uber and lyft didnt provide it. These companies have been exploiting drivers like me for years. Now prop 22 denies us basic rights like Unemployment Benefits and sick time. Uber and lyft are billiondollar companies, and they still wont let drivers get access to Unemployment Benefits. Thats just wrong. Tell uber and lyft to stop exploiting their drivers. Vote no on prop 22. Good morning. Welcome at 9. 44 this sunday morning weve been talking all about the red flag warning for the bay area its going to get windy later today, it starts at 11 00am dave spahr standing by in the Weather Center with all his fun new tools to try and get us as prepared as possible for this safe. Well good morning guys, good morning, everybody and dry air will be plowing across the bay area this afternoon. You know were getting a live shot of whats going on right now from the shot from timber on as we see the golden gate off to the distance. It will be just like a regular type of sunday going on here as we start with the Morning Cloud cover it breaks up. And then kind of a springlike breeze starting to build but its going to get a little nasty by the Late Afternoon is starts to get just downright windy because of the change of the guard. So weve had a system that moved through from yesterday give us a little bit on shore flow and thats what were looking at in the southwest, but behind it. Yeah, its that offshore flow and this is actually cool but dry air coming in from canada and when it comes across the rockies like this it gets compressed a little bit and it gets heated artificially by the time it comes across the diablo range for us the diablo winds. 50s we have in the inland valleys for right now some lower 60s as you can see in the east bay shoreline for now, lets get to those winds though in some timing ideas here. Yeah, its pretty much of the afternoon monday morning as you can see all the arrows pointing from the north in the northeast. Frozen here about 1 oclock and were still dealing with winds even at that late time period by the afternoon that should start to subside in as far as a factor of winds are concerned we dont really see them too much more upstream is kind of variable wind event that rise to happen here as we get to the middle of the week, were still stuck with the dry atmosphere in its wake all the way to the end of the week it looks like. Lets watch what does happen towards the end of the week air as we go through the whole week its pretty dry. This is interesting little front comes down from the northwest thats very familiar its winking at us a chance to be picking up a little shower or 2, but it will usher in onshore wind so that recovery in terms of the marine layer that were very familiar with. Well well be getting some of that by the time we get to the end of the week as far as getting any rain or so maybe be nice well see what happens with all of that in the success of system behind it. 4 zone forecast cover your sunday here 68 San Francisco remember the winds are going to interrupt some of this heating today too got 60s along the coast for the bay side its lower 70s to the north heading down only into the lower 70s and all of that. Meanwhile the santa clara valley, upper 60s looks like 74. Morgan hill 69 Milpitas Santa Clara at 68. Down the east bay shoreline to the southern end 71 for example for hayward upper 60s lower 70s and tri valley, lot of uniformity across our topography like this dont always see that very often but winds are kind of circulating things mixing up very nicely 74 walnut creek and concord 74 richmond up the Solano County. Same kind of deal lower 70s just about everywhere you see somebody going on for napa and for santa rose at 75 mid 70s, heading down south. So your 70 forecast does have a little warm remember this is going to be with dry air tuesday wednesday thursday getting close to 80 or so, but it does kind of fall off towards the end as you can see when that front gets here meanwhile the bay side mid 70s by midweek and for the coast scratching into some lower 70s back to you. I was in that beautiful, youre listening to a virtual concert from the santa rosa symphony. Its all part of their santa rosa symphony at home series i love that the First Virtual concert was actually so successful theyve now set up a second date where they will be highlighting german composer and pianist beethoven will join us with more on this santa rosa symphonys music director and conductor francesco ledges chong maestro. Good morning, thanks so much for joining us. Good morning, thanks for having me here i have to ask you about what its been like for the symphony and for you as the conductor to be operating in a vacuum with no immediate audience response. Well, you know 100 normalcy and second stanzas it would of course be very awkward on not have our audience to be having the musicians you know 6 feet apart from each other and the masks and all the various a logistical challenges we face, but it feels so good to perform again after 7 months away that really all that just fall by the wayside and its just amazing to make music once again. Well because you know when youre in any sort of performance and youre watching it you theres a feeling of the atmosphere around you write that you really want to make sure that the audience feels so. But you you guys being that you guys being that excited to to come back does that just help bring out that atmosphere again. Absolutely i didnt even really occurred to me afterwards on it just felt like a performance because we were doing what weve been waiting so long to do and just the energy within that stage was fantastic and knowing that our audience was going to get to see brand new way with all these moving cameras in these different angles. I think it kind that experience knowing that eventually we would reach people write in their homes in a very intimate way. Tell us a little bit about the performance itself because you have a variety of music youre going from a ragtime with scott joplin youre going to the andes for some music from peru. You also beethoven and we want to hear a little bit of that before we get your response. Well its so nice to hear and its interesting to see the musicians all safely distance but also all wearing masks. Yes indeed, mean it was definitely needed pretty much every day of the 5 months of planning that it took. Yeah make sure that we were going to able to get on stage together and a whole community after from our musicians to our staff and crew on board and sponsors everyone really believing that this was the right thing to do that then trina into the unknown like this would would eventually be able to bring music to our community again. Talk to us a little bit about yourself youve been conducting since you were 16 years old that is so impressive. Thats absolutely i mean its been really fortunate to work with a lot of great conductors and do i work lot of great orchestras first of the milwaukee symphony pittsburgh symphony where i was assistant conductor and now with my first music in eugene oregon and down here in santa rosa just been very fortunate to work with great people all along the way. And one of the pieces that youll be highlighting will focus on the string section specifically your cellist. Yeah, you know part putting these is this program together as you want to put the feature on our musicians obviously we cant really fly or so the was from around the world in like we normally would for concert opportunity showcase the talent that we have an orchestra the future in a couple violinist on the work by di cheney and our principal cellist on the piece by max so overall youre constantly cleaner musicians forward and will continue to do that throughout this series this season. Whats your favorite piece. All this so hard you know whats been great about putting this program together is i just get to have fun with it it feels so good to make music and all these unique ways rather than having a very kind of set style what the subscription concert would be and thats why you know we have to the greatest living or poses right now Gabriela Lena frank and cheney on the program, the king of ragtime scott joplin and then were doing this and many beethoven cycle of the first 3 beethoven symphonies so actually the middle of that cycle here with the second symphony and i think these this many cycle because in these 3 symphonies we see beethoven venturing into the unknown and we think you what the symphony could be and quite frankly thats what were doing is the santa rosa symphony is combining a new way to bring music to people and i thought it was very cool to have connection between these 2 ideas these concerts. Well there is a certain symmetry there we want to let folks when and where they enjoy this concert. Its going to be a virtual concert on youtube and you can enjoy it on sunday november 15th at 3 oclock in the afternoon. It is free, but they will except some donations because of this goes to help the symphony and all the programs that it sponsors in santa rosa. And more information you can go to youtube or make the phone call on your screen.
