Takeaways. T time, democrats and repu case about whether the president committed an Impeachable Offense, or not. The facts that have come to light are very much what the founders had in mind, i think when they provided a remedy. This is an abject failure for the democrats and adam schiff. Reporter acting u. S. Ambassador to the ukraine, william taylor, and george kent testified before the house intelligence committee. Taylor revealed new information about the president s focus on comes from overheard call between u. S. Ambassador to the eu and the president after trumps call with ukrainian president , volodymyr zelensky. The democrats believed the president used his office to extort ukraine to dig up dirt on the bidens, including holding up 400 million in military aid. It was not just the white house meeting that was dependent on the investigations. He said it was now everything. It included the security assistance. Ambassador, you werent on the call were you . You didnt listen on the call. You never talked with chief of staff mulvaney. You never met the president. Thats correct. Reporter president did noth because investigations, and the money was released. They also question Hunter Bidens work in the ukraine. Uc hastens constitutional law professor david levine says both sidemade some traction. He also believes the severity of the president s purported actions are far worse than president s nixon and clinton. We know far more about what the founders thought impeachment was for, fear of entanglement. I think its a joke. This is a sham. Reporter President Trump and republicans pushed again today to have the whistle blower testify. One issue that ambassador bolten brought up is the regular clash versus the irregular clash, led by giuliani. Im sure there will be a lot of questions. Especially following up on that new revelation, greg. Obviously, there were some fiery moments. Republicans and democrats have their clear positions here. Looking at this a little more broadly, the significance for the American People. From i think this is the first time right, that the American People are having a chance to look at this from their perspective, and decide did the president commit a high crime or misdemeanor, which is what the democrats want them to believe, because that is a bar for impeachment. What the republicans want them to determine, wading through all of these facts for five hours, is the republicans want them to believe this is a political move. The republican strategy was two fold. On the one hand, they pushed the notion that what you were hearing from these diplomats was second, third hand information. They also said the military aid eventual went to ukraine, and no investigation was ever opened into the bidens. No harm, no foul. How do you think their strategy played today . Youre looking at career diplomats. Two guys that have been in the government for a long time, who have worked for president s on both sides of the aisle. Ambassador taylor said today, im not hear to take sides. Im here to answer questions. To answer your question, alex, at the end of the day, joaquin castro, as he was questioning these witnesses, is attempted murder a crime . Is attempted robbery a crime . To his point, he said the fact this even was moved into motion, even though things got cleaned up, and that money was released, that still indicates there was still some kind of quid pro quo. Well have to see if thats how the American People interpret what theyre doing. We did get this new information about a call with the president and gordon sondland, likely to hear from the aid coming up on friday. That seems to be a big focus of where things will be now. Absolutely. No one expected that today. That aid is going to testify in private deposition on friday. Well see if they bring him public. The real question is what these guys set forth today. They talked about second hand, third hand information. They set the foundation for what the rest of these public hearings are going to look like. Yet, we have not heard from someone who had firsthand knowledge. And sondland, on wednesday is a real opportunity. He will be asked did you make that phone call, did you hear the things that the president said, and those who are closest to the president have still said they wont testify, despite being subpoenaed. Ambassador sondland is going to be a key witness, and he comes up next week. We have the full hearing, as well as reaction on our home page, just head over to ktvu. Com. Authorities are hoping new surveillance video, and a larger reward will help to identify the suspects who are accused of kidnapping, and killing a tech executive.

Orindas only patrol officers were in oakland at the time. The shooting happened just before 11 00 halloween night at a party at an airbnb rental home. Previously neighbors called police to complain about the noise from the party, but there was no one available to respond. Police have the ability to call in help from other agencies, if a high priority call comes in, but the orinda city manager says a noise complaho officers. If there was something more significant. Lets say there was a physical fight, or a burglary in progress, those are going to get higher attention than a call about a noisy party. According to the logs, police got to the scene ten minutes after the shooting. Some residents are now calling on orinda officials to add more officers, but the city manager says right now, counsel and staff are more focused on changing the rules about short term rentals.

Gabe kapler has some big shoes to fill with the team, replacing bruce bochy, who of course, retired when the season ended. Kaplers arrival comes with some controversy and questions. Some of the questions got answered today during the introduction News Conference. Yeah, a lengthy press conference. Theres a lot to unpack here. Its been an eventful week for the giants. Hiring Scott Harrison on monday. Today they announced gabe kapler. Here he is, donning the number 19 giants jersey at his introductory press conference, which lasted more than an hour. Probably 2 3 of that was spent on a sequence of events, as a dodgers player developer, a Minor League Player was accused of sexual assault. Today he spoke at length about lessons learned. Im sorry that i didnt make all the rate moves. Everything that i did, i acted on from a place of goodness, and from my heart, and wanting to do the right thing, but i was naive. I was in over my skis, and trying to do things on my own, when it was very clear that i needed council, and i needed counsel from people like ive met in this community over the course of the last two weeks. And going forward, i would be seeking out that council. Gabe never tried to hide anything. The incidents that happened, he reported up the chain of command, within baseball operations. The baseball Operations Group referred him to Legal Counsel in l. A. Everything we did from that point forward was done collectively as an organization. As for the baseball side of the story, kapler was fired with his two years with the phillies. Those teams lost 163. Not exactly a stellar track record there. But remember, bruce bochy was not a hall of fame manager with the padres. He hit it big in his second job with the giants. The next step will be to fill out a coaching staff. The one thing we do know, ron wodas will return as Third Base Coach for his 23rd year in the organization. So a smidge of continuity. Kapler has to address these past issues. Do you think he was able to put that behind him . And he is going to be able to focus on what he wants to focus on in the field . I think so. They addressed every possible concern. Were the answers somewhat scripted and rehearsed . Yeah, but i do get the feeling hes sincere, i do get the feeling he believes in learning from his mistakes, both on the field, and off. Theres a lot of Big Decisions to be made. Between the gm, and now the new manager, theyve got a lot going on. Yeah, they certainly do. All right scott, thanks very much. Appreciate it. Thousands of workers with the uc system on a one day strike. Still to come, more on the unfair labor practices that they say is costing hard working people their jobs. And pg and e is broken. Thats the message from one lawmaker. Well talk with state senator scott wiener about that plan, next here on the 4. In response to the thousands of wildfires sparked by pg and e equipment, and those widespread power outages, across california, one local lawmaker is planning to introduce a bill that would require pg and e to become a government owned utility. Joining us to talk more about this plan is state senator scott wiener from san frwiener we always appreciate your time. Why do you feel its necessary . Pg and e is broken. It doesnt work in its current form, where the company is so focused on its profits, and shareholders, and wall street that it clearly hasnt done the job, in terms of investing in its infrastructure, so its Distribution System is in terrible shape. We need a different structure, and we have a number of publicly owned utilities in the state of california, delivering reliable state power, and reneed to explore that with pg and e. San francisco is trying to purchase assets, a form of public utility, and i think we need to look more broadly at this broken company. You mentioned that a number of mayors across california, they have been pushing a plan for pg an e to become a customer owned cooperative. What do you think about that particular idea, and how does that differ from the plan that you are going to put forward. Mayors are advocating to turn pg and e into a customer coop. These are all potentially the right solution, and i think it makes sense to have a number of different ideas on the table. So i dont view these as competitor ideas. They are both new approaches, that need to be explored. I happen to support the Public Ownership option and i want to make sure that Public Ownership is at the table as were having this discussion. But im glad there are a number of different ideas out there. How do you think that all of these plans get d in the end . You have a lot of differing views as you pointed out. Its a complicated issue, and i know the governor has been working very hard in terms of coming up with ideas, i know hes keeping an open mind. The governor, and the legislature are going to have to work together. There are many stakeholders involved. I cant predict what the end result is going to be, but i do know that Public Ownership has a lot of merit and we need to strongly consider it, and its something that i support. As you know, pg and e is pushing back strongly on plans such as yours, specifically saying that a takeover of its p cities would lead to higher costs for People Living in rural areas, where fire is of course of great concern. What is your response to that issue . Thats a scare tactic by pg and e. I think anytime pg and e makes a statement, the public should take it with a grain of salt. Of course, pg and e is going to participate in scare tactics. While im flattered that pg and e thinks San Francisco is so important that the system will collapse without it, this is a huge system, and San Francisco is just one piece of it. We have to leave the conversation there. We always appreciate it. State senator scott wiener. Youre planning to introduce this legislation to turn pg and e into a public facility next year. An investigation into the recent pg and e power shutoff. This morning, the cpuc voted unanimously to look into whether pg and followed regulations. More than a million californians were impacted by those power shutoffs during the utilities efforts to try to keep its lines from starting fires. Roughly 26,000 university of California Workers all across the state held a one day strike today. Other protesting what they call is a pattern of unfair labor practices, specifically involving the outsourcing of jobs at hospitals, and uc campuses. More now from the picket lines. Its been two and a half years since these employees have had a contract. They say theyre fighting against up fair labor practices, while the university of california says its unfortunate things have gotten to this point, and they say theyre ready to get back to the bargaining table. 25,000 uc workers across 10 uc campus are on strike. Tha it isnt fair to us as employees who have been here for a long period of time. The American Federation of state, county, and municipal employees local 3299 filed unfair labor charges, accusing the university of california of secretly expanding its outsourcing to low wage contractors, and avoiding negotiations with its own employees. They argue, outsourcing eliminates middle class career pathways, and imposes lower wages, more inequality, and more risk of employer abuse. Because i have five children. Im a single mother, i need my job. A statement from the university of California Office of the president says despite union concerns about contracting, quote, the number of represented employees has actually grown by doubledigits in the past five years. Ucs contracts protect employees from displacement due to contracting, and no employee can be term new years terminated as a result. She hopes both sides can come to an agreement. For our staff, who do all of this through the two unions are tremendous. We feel the true impact for them as well. We want them to get back to work as fast as possible. Reporter uc is offering a guaranteed 3 to 3. 5 raise each year, and the same Health Insurance rates, and pensions. Picketers say its not about the money, or benefits, and they wont stop until changes are made to protect them. In San Francisco, ktvu fox 2 news. Federal reserve chairman, Jerome Powell testified before Congress Today about the nations economic future. Powell told the senate committee, that the economy is in a strong position, and showing signs of growth. Powell also indicated that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to adjust Interest Rates anytime soon, so long as the economy stays on its current path. Our economy is in a strong position. We have growth, we have a strong consumer sector. The very, very low and even negative rates that we see around the world would not be appropriate for our economy. While the economy looks steady, powell also cautioned that challenges remain, such as slow growth overseas, trade tensions, and low inflation. An eye opening admission from facebook. The Company Acknowledges a bug in its app would open a users camera without their permission. Up next, the actions taken by facebook, and the lingering concerns for users. And in bay area weather, lots of clouds today, even cooler temperatures. That cooling trend will continue in your thursday forecast, and maybe we could be adding some drizzle to the forecast as well. Well have that coming up. T coming up. Blow a kiss, into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss, into the sun all we need is somebody to lean on c1 c1 facebook rushed to fix a bug that allowed its app access to the camera on a users phone, without their knowledge. An updated app is available. There are still some concerns here. For more, im joined by Ryan Eldredge of nurse oncall. So ryan, people were scrolling through their news feed on facebook, and somehow the camera was accessed. Yeah, this was first reported by a twitter user, joshua maddux. He did a screen capture of his iphone. As he within the through his news feed. As he moved from one screen to another, he noticed the background was translucent. His camera was on. Other people had the same issue. At first, maybe its just a bug, facebook has bugs just like any other app. But theres an inherent distrust of facebook right now, where, is it really a bug, or are you doing Something Weird . Theres been fears for years about facebook activating the microphone without a users knowledge. A coworker talking about buying a cat, and all of a sudden she started getting cat food stories on her news feed, and shes like wait a second. While this is a bug that facebook is reporting, it does make us all very suspicious, every time we see Something Like this. His camera was pointed there at the carpet, but this idea that facebook, i didnt even know they had the ability to access the camera. Do we know if any photos or videos were uploaded due to this . Reporter Facebook Says no photos or videos were uploaded. But again, weve got to take facebooks word on that. Just two years ago, if you uploaded a photo to facebook, but chose not to share it on your timeline, facebook still held that photo, but then they had a data breach, and all of those photos were accessed by bad guys. Facebook is saying nothing was uploaded, but weve got to again, take that with a grain of salt. Is it there a way on this facebook app for me it to make sure that they dont have access to the camera . Reporter normally, when you open up an app for the first time, and it needs access to Different Things on your phone. If youve already allowed the access, you dont give it access again. Theres no way to really like, i get you can go into settings, go into facebook, settings, and turn off the camera, and access things like that, but ultimately it doesnt mean they cant turn it back on. They were trying to use it for their stories app, so you could add things to your story. It was a mess. Now i understand, when you mention the story aspect. When i open up the app, and i want facebook to have access to my pictures, those are things that ive already taken i understand when i want to do a post on something, but this idea it can access information in realtime, thats concerning. Reporter weve seen overall Cyber Security for years about things like spyware that will access a camera on a computer or a phone, and report back to a hacker. Every time we see stories like this, we get a little concerned, especially when its facebook. Were concerned about their ability to protect users privacy. What was i doing, when i was looking at facebook. Often, im looking at facebook, just before i go to bed at night. And i dont want facebook to see inside whats happening in my bedroom. That makes me nervous. It gets exposed. As they say, they have updated the app, you just need to go to the app store, and update this information. Ryan eldredge, thanks so much, appreciate it. Reporter youre welcome. You probably noticed it today. A little bit of a dip in those temperatures compared to yesterday. Much cooler. Heres a live look. Pretty gray there. A lot of clouds it looks like. Yeah, its kind of a dark, foggy look in the south bay. The entire bay area, we have cooled off a bit, and that trend will continue. Heres another camera for you, looking out toward mount diablo. Temperatures, we started out the week on the cold side. That trend will continue into thursday. By the weekend, sunday will be the warmest day of the upcoming weekend. That could lead to possibly, a few low 80s for places like santa rosa. Maybe gilroy as well. Heres the satellite out here in the pacific. You can see a big batch of high clouds offshore. We have kind of a layered cloud cover. The dense fog, at the surface. You go up above 15, 20,000 feet. You have the higher clouds moving in. It all leads to that cloudy pattern we have right now. Most areas, reporting mostly cloudy skies from ukiah, down toward monterey bay this afternoon. Santa rosa, already cooling off to 57. San francisco, 54. Still a few 70s toward concord and the livermore area. Heres our live camera toward the bay. You can still see the dense fog, but then high clouds working their way back into the picture. We will have the cloud cover in your forecast for tomorrow. Look at this. Maybe a little bit of some drizzle. Especially coast side, right around San Francisco. That will be tomorrow morning. Then into the afternoon hours, look for more cloud cover throughout the afternoon. This is 12 00. Then this is 4 00 as well. Temperatures approaching 60, 61 degrees. This is a cooler system we are tracking offshore, and this will set the stage for some drizzle tomorrow morning, especially coast side, and right around the bay. No more 70s for tomorrow. Friday, we begin to clear out by the afternoon hours. That will set the stage for a sunny, and a warmer weekend. Stormtrack is way up here, up toward portland and seattle. For us, our dry weather stretch will continue. 60s, 70s, and a few spots sunday could be right around 80 degrees. Heres the forecast model. This is 8 00 tomorrow morning, showing some clouds, and maybe some drizzle. Or some sprinkles near the coast. Maybe. 02, if were lucky. Into the afternoon hours, some cloud cover. Thats for thursday into friday. Well start out the day with some clouds, and maybe some valley fog here. This is friday morning, and then into the afternoon hours, we scale back on the clouds. This will set the stage for that sunny, and warm weekend. Highs for tomorrow. Look at this. No 80s, no 70s. Were just thinking some 60s for your thursday afternoon p. If youre tired of the fog, this system might mention out that dense fog layer a bit. A look ahead. Your fiveday forecast, cooler tomorrow. Dont get too excited about that. Were excited for any sort of precipitation. Drizzle maybe tomorrow morning. Trace amounts. Into the weekend, we are sunny and warm. Were looking long range now. Maybe 24th, 25th. Drizzle.
