The city decided on the shutdown in july after numerous Public Meetings made it official in october and reality today. One of the reasons we bought our house is because, we just felt safe with them nearby. Reporter union city now has three fire stations, not four. We have to rely on resources that come from the center of town. Were talking six, eight, 15minute response times to get to this neighborhood.

Reporter the city manager called it simple math. Union city has a budget deficit of about 3. 5 million. The closure saves 3. 2 million a year. Plus she says according to an independent study the station averaged less than two calls per day. No one lost their job. The firefighters and staff will be relocated. While we anticipated keeping all firefighters opened. No plan. Times change, things change. Facts change. Im not happy about it. But i do understand and its just very unfortunate.

Im tom steyer and i approve this message. Right now at 6 30, President Trump going on trial. We have a full breakdown of what to expect in the Senate Impeachment trial. Changing of the guard on capitol hill today, the house handed the impeachment process against President Trump to the senate. House democrats passing on a new cache of every day, though, its not clear whether the Senate Republicans will allow it into trial. Alice barr has the latest from washington. Reporter in a ceremony carried out only twice before in history, articles of impeachment hand delivered to the senate today to put an american president on trial. This president will be held accountable. The senate will formally receive the articles tomorrow. Im confident this body can rise above shorttermism and factional fever and serve the longterm best interests of our nation. Reporter the house voting almost enterally along party lines to send the articles and approve seven managers who will make the case at trial that President Trump obstructed congress and abused his power by urging ukraine to investigate his political rivals. He invited foreign interference into our elections again. Reporter republicans defending the president and rejikting the allegations. This was always an exercise in raw partisan politics. Reporter the house also sending over new every day, democrats say bolsters their case that President Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Guiliani were at the heart of the campaign to dig up dirt on joe biden and his son hunter. The senate can choose to ignore that evidence but it increases pressure on moderate republicans, if just four vote with democrats, they could bring new could you estimates and witnesses into the trial. The day of developments coming at the same time President Trump signed phase 1 of a china trade deal while speaking directly to republicans who will sit in judgment of him. They have a hoax going on over there, lets take care of it. Reporter branding President Trumps legacy with impeachment. Chief Justice John Roberts will be sworn in tomorrow afternoon to preside over the trial and will then, in turn, swear in all senators toing a as jurors. In washington, alice barr, nbc news. Okay. Thank you, alice. Lets bring our political analyst larry gerstin in. We saw that very proper walk with the papers over you know, it seems so Old Fashioned when you see it like that. And very serious. Very serious. So lets talk about these managers. Who exactly is an impeachment manager . Sure. The manager when this case seven of them, theyre the people that make the case for the house. They were chosen by the speaker. Very strategically, all of them have some sort of legal background, lawyers, law enforcement, what not. So is it akin to a prosecutor . Yes, imagine seven heads of prosecutors. They were chosen strategically. The problem is led by adam schiff because of the great work a lot of people think he did a couple weeks ago. Zoe lofgren has a big part in this, too. We dont want to minimize that, she has such history with this because she was involved with the nixon effort, which then of course she was during checkpoint in the house. So these people are very critical to making the case. Theyre the ones who are in charge of sticking the senate with the awkward decision of whether to convict or whether to let him go. Lets talk process now. We just talked about that very ceremonial handover. There is a process while there is some debate about how to go forward, there is some structure. What happens now . Well, the managers are going to divide and conquer, so to speak, or attempt to each will assume, have some responsibility for moving the case forward. Some will talk about this aspect. Some will talk about that aspect. Okay. Then the senate will go ahead and have its people go ahead and counter it. The president s people really. The senate is supposed to sit as jurors. Right . So the president s people will then go ahead and his lure and a few others will be involved. They will dispute it. Now the big question, of course, we are asking is, whether there will be witnesses. When do we find that out exactly . Interesting question. The way its worked out as far as mcconnell is concerned, after the presentation goes by the house. Then the rebuttal by the president. At that time someone is likely to move to allow these witnesses and they only need 51 votes. You got 47 democratic votes already. Assuming they stay whole, no one defects, all you need is four republicans. Then the question is, which witnesses do they hear . Will they only be the witnesses the house wants, the president wants . Thats why Mitch Mcconnell doesnt want it to go down that road. Lets talk about the numbers when it stacks up here in terms of the democratic, the democrats, you have some that are on the road getting ready for the iowa caucuses. Have you warren, sanders, clo eb ch klobuchar, what happens to them, is it mandated they must come back and participate in this . Itsf probably the most Important Role they have other than to go to war. Yes, it may not be mandated officially. Anybody not there in his or her seat is going to be under great criticism. Yes, they will be serial. Theyre not supposed to talk to each other during this thing. They will be sitting there every single day, only in the evening will they have the opportunity perhaps to do something with the phone or telephone . So the campaign gets suspended for this amount of time . Their campaigns are severely lessened. Lets put it that way. They might get out there in the evening quickly, through new hampshire, Something Like that. The question is what does this do for people like joe biden . Pete buttigieg . Things like that we dont know. This is all so unusual. Certainly, there will be a difference in terms of who has how much time to campaign and who doesnt. Thank you very much. The worlds two largest economies have reached an agreement, they signed phrase 1 of the agreement today. Its a step towards lowering two years in the tension of the long simmering trade war between the u. S. And china. Most people thought this could never happen. It should have happened 25 years ago by the way, but thats okay. But American Families are unlikely to see cheaper prierss soon on many chinesemade products, like tv, shoes and clothing. That is because most u. S. Tariffs will remain in effect until phase 2 of the trade deal is completed. However, china has agreed to buy 200 billion worth of American Products and services. Too close for comfort, thats how some people are feeling about a cannabis dispensary, theyre saying its too close to a school. They are ready for a showdown in 30 minutes.

If the cannabis dispensary is placed at the proposed location, the School District has grave concerns about ever utilizing that property again for overflow parking for High School Students or opening up a pre school there again. The owner, hes the son of a former u. S. Representative, issued a statement and said he will work closely to shape how they will do their business and conduct it.

I dont write checks anymore. I type it out. Im guilty, i was writing 19 as of a couple hours ago. Many of us are used to abbreviating the date with two digits. 1 15 20, that works, no . Doing that this year might pose a security risk. Some cyber experts say siebers can say make that say 2019. No big deal, right . Wrong. That can become something else, the dates when they are messed with can open the door to issues, frustrating clever crooks, for example, could take it to fabricate an unpaid debt or manipulate when the check clears.

I dont think we will see much in the way of wind after midnight tonight. First the wind will pick up. The rain will arrive right around sunrise tomorrow, so the first half of the day, morning commute, its going to be amess. Plan extra time. Maybe you dont have to go anywhere.

M. To 11 00 a. M. Tomorrow, anywhere from a half inch to an inchandahalf in the bay area. In terms of the timing, it will be the north bay to 5 00 a. M. To 7 00 or 8 00. For the south bay, you might have to wait a little longer from 8 00 a. M. To lunchtime, 11 00 a. M. To noon. You see the heavy rain band push on through, that is the wind and rain events. During the day, 1 00 and 2 00 in the afternoon, you could see isolated thunderstorms with some hail and previous gusty wind, so more isolated downpours as we approach the evening commute. Eventually we see it decrease in intensity and coverage. It will be cold outside, atop snow, Mount Hamilton snow. We have a winter storm warning. Look at the snow levels. 3500 feet to 4,000 feet.
