Thank you very much rob and happening today after a monthlong delay. Speaker nancy pelosi says that today theyre going to vote on impeachment resolutions that will move things forward into the next phase and send those articles of impeachment to the senate that just moments ago. Speaker pelosi announced the impeachment managers which include barry representative zoe lofgren will be heading up their prosecution of the case in the trial and the senate trial offers Christina Tate<\/a> wrote joining us live from the studio with more christina. So if the house actually does pass the articles of impeachment on to the senate today, its a big step forward in the process and could mean the trial actually begins this week. In addition to voting on moving the articles of impeachment forward. Pelosi is also expected to name her impeachment managers. Those would be the House Democrats<\/a> that will make the case against President Trump<\/a> in the trial. Its expected to include Intelligent Committee<\/a> chairman adam schiff in judiciary Committee Chairman<\/a> jerry nadler and maybe even east bay, congressman Eric Swalwell<\/a> both of whom had prominent roles in the house impeachment proceedings. Meanwhile republicans continue to scrutinize pelosis decision to withhold the articles from the senate for more than a month. The house is likely to finally senate the articles overdose will be able to believe that happened. In all likelihood go through some preliminary steps. And this week. But some Senate Democrats<\/a> believe the delay has given actually more time to make their case for additional witnesses, especially to moderate Senate Republicans<\/a> darya james back to you. All right, thank you very much so Senate Democrats<\/a> believe that they have the votes to pass powers resolution fact it would limit the president s power to start military action against iran without a green light from congress. We believe well get 51 votes that is needed to pass and so we work out the timing. We have to figure out how it intersects with impeachment. But we believe that this resolution is the right way to go. It has the support of all 47 democrats and his vote is crucial player. To pass the resolution democrats say they won over 4 republican senators including rand paul of kentucky mike lee of utah. The resolution is in response to when President Trump<\/a> ordered the killing of irans top general which then ratchet tensions between the us and iran.

We take on the biggest challenge in history, we save the world and do it together. Americas getting sicker. Sick of donald trump, there are one million more uninsured americans every year under trump. And hes repeatedly tried to repeal obamacare. Mike bloomberg will make sure everyone without Health Coverage<\/a> can get it, and everyone who likes theirs, keep it. While capping fees to lower costs.

Thank you john some early clearing here at the richmond sandra fell bridge toll plaza it looks great. On 5. 80 west leading up to the pay gates we started off with a lot of heavy traffic way back from return parkway thats gone so look at that nice trip through the tolls 8 minutes for you to make it to the north bay with no big trouble spots that you need to worry about earlier we had a little bit of trouble spot right before return parkway and then that one cleared so if you want to leave now traffic is definitely thinned out and it looks a whole lot better for west bound 5. 80 leading up to the tolls even when you make it through the pay gates, its going to be a great trip heading across the span over to the bay bridge for checking 80 west into San Francisco<\/a>. Your backup continues to spill into the maze. Weve had no major issues but still lots of crowding here some 13 minutes to make it in an accident one on south san antonio still working 2 lanes blocked southbound youre backed up into menlo park northbound at backup is growing because they can see the crash 70 minutes from san jose to menlo park back to you all right, thank you very much rob and all eyes on des moines last night as 6 of the Democratic Candidates<\/a> took the stage just lisa has not so there was this contentious point of the debate both Bernie Sanders<\/a> and Elizabeth Warren<\/a> county went back and forth on whether or not. Bernie sanders in a meeting 2 years ago actually told her that he didnt think a woman could win the presidency. He says he never said that she says she definitely remembers. And disagreed with him vehemently and then of course after the debate. She approached him he extended his hand and she refused to shake it so thats kind of the buzz people are talking about this morning. Well they are fighting to be nominee so dry thats the way it goes covers christina teacher joins us now with more. So that was definitely you know the main center appoint something causing all of the headlines but that wasnt the only Tense Exchange<\/a> between the candidates last night it was clear the candidates knew this was the last chance for them to appeal to voters. Ahead of the iowa caucuses. Senator sanders and warren clashed on policy and electability in week of reports of sanders saying a woman could not be President Trump<\/a>. A claim sanders denies ever saying. How could anybody in a million years, not believe that a woman could become president of the united states. What did you think when senator Sanders Sanders<\/a> told you a woman could not win the election. I disagreed. Meanwhile mayor people to judge and senator Amy Klobuchar<\/a> are denied their efforts to try and appeal to more moderate voters both seeing the path to the nomination. Theyre focusing on center us voters while San Francisco<\/a> billionaire tom stier continue to position his appeal as an outsider. Its going to take a view to the future as well as the readiness to learn from the lessons of the past when it comes to iraq right now i would leave our troops there as time from someone from the outside of a strategic view about what were trying to do and how to do it. But the candidates did push their policies and try to appeal to voters on the key issues across the board of course of course though the health care the economy and foreign policy. Predictable from the day he was pulled out of the agreement trump. What exactly what happened where now isolated every other major country on earth is guaranteeing health care for all the time is long overdue what you want in a president is someone who has dealt with these life and death issues and who has made decision this new trade deal is a modest improvement senator sanders himself has said so. New poll numbers since debate have not yet been released, but according to the latest polls of iowa released monday senator sanders is still leading with 18 followed by mera peak at 17 and senator warren with 15 . But we will have to wait and see how last nights debate swayed voters the why the iowa caucus is monday february 3rd guy james. All right. Thank you will see how the votes come down, thanks very much. Christine and heres a live look outside of the Golden Gate Bridge<\/a> where the skies are nice and blue little bit of cloud cover off in the distance but all in welcome back 8. 55 on this wednesday morning you can see outside right here that we do have some low lying cloud cover sitting above the golden gate, but weve actually had some pretty good driving conditions.
