Nancy pelosi, condemning the actions of President Trump as she announces a formal impeachment inquiry. President trump has tweeted in response calling the inquiry a total witchhunt. Welcome everyone to the four, all of this stems from a whistleblower complaint that the director of National Intelligence has so far refused to turn over to congress. He reportedly details efforts by President Trump to pressure the president of ukraine to investigate democratic residential candidate joe biden and his son. Lauren blanchard with the historical developments today on capitol hill. Reporter the formal impeachment inquiry moves forward here in washington, as new details emerge in the ukraine whistleblower controversy. The president must be held accountable, no one is above the law. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing a formal impeachment inquiry after meeting with fellow democrats this afternoon. The actions taken today by the president have seriously violated the constitution, especially when the president says article to says i can do what ever i want. Calls for impeachment have been growing in recent days, following a government whistleblower complaint detailing a questionable phone call between President Trump and the ukrainian president. I think its ridiculous, its a witchhunt. To make democrats hoping to hear from the whistleblower, potentially by the end of this week. As President Trump says hes authorized the complete unredacted transcript of his conversation to be released. Tweeting you will see it was a very friendly and it totally appropriate call. No pressure, and unlike joe biden and his son, no quid pro quo. President trump left us no choice but to initiate impeachment. That would be a tragedy. But a tragedy of his own making. All eyes will be on the United NationsGeneral Assembly tomorrow, when President Trump will be meeting with the ukrainian president , the same day the public will get to see the transcript of their summer phone call. In washington, lauren blanchard, fox news. For more of the impeachment inquiry, we are joined by our political reporter, thanks, nice to have you here. Good to be here in such a busy day. Is really big day. Tell us, why do you think it is this point, this time, of all of this, that nancy pelosi decides to go ahead and move forward . Be met throughout everything, the racial remarks, the mullah report, nancy pelosi has said that she was against impeachment because she feared that voters wouldnt support it, they would be skeptical of it. But to this point, when two thirds of your caucus inside of the house says yes, we are for impeachment, and when you think you can explain it to the voters in a way that makes sense to them, i think that is what pushed beekeeper looser Speaker Pelosi over the edge. Six are already investigating President Trump on a number of different friends, so what happens with those committees, now they operate under the umbrella of impeachment . You heard Speaker Pelosi say that, they will continue because the House Judiciary Committee was already looking into the possibility of impeachment. Its important for people to understand, the way this works, is that that committee will continue to investigate. If they submit articles of impeachment to the full house, and the houseboats that the majority of any of those articles i had, and a through, then technically the president is impeached. That means he is still in office, but then it would go to the senate, and what would really look like a trial in which the president would have lawyers to defend himself, and if two thirds of the senate then voted him guilty, then he would be out. With the current makeup of the senate, thats not likely to happen. It absolutely, the gop is in it, everyone looks at this, especially with the election coming in 2020, you wonder is this a political move or what the drive is. But i will tell you today, two thirds of the gop lettuce and voted on a resolution to make the Trump Administration released the whistleblower complaint in its entirety, which is a big deal, espeally from the gop. Before we let you go, tomorrow we are going to hear and be able to see this phone call that is at the center of this latest andal. Lets say, that this transcript is benign, then what . President trump has tweeted that multiple times today. He has said they havent even seen the transcript yet, which is significant. He wanted the transcript released and hes made it very clear. The other pete think people want to see, is the entirety of that whistleblower complaint which could potentially happen on thursday. We will have to see how it all shakes out, greg lee, our political reporter, thank you and welcome to the team. We have more on house Speaker Pelosis announcement today, its on our homepage on ktvu. Com. Stomach not to the very latest on the dangerously hot and dry weather out there in the bay area and across all of Northern California. Pg e says it is monitoring the conditions in case it needs to issue another Public Safety power shut off. Electricity is now being restored to some of the 22,000 customers who had their power turned off in the sierra foothills, just about 24 hours ago. Pg e says line inspection should be complete soon and that power in those areas should be restored to all customers by about 6 00 tonight. Tom vacar joining us live ed pg es Emergency Operation center for the north bay, and tom, when are we going to know if and when power will be cut off in that area . Reporter the Company Expects to be able to make that decision public sometime within this hour. Theyve made similar promises yesterday, thats because theyve got a lot of weather people, engineers, emergency people, power supply people, all the people that have to be involved in this, looking at the weather and trying to make the decision. That decision, as we said, should, this hour. We dont want to shut off the power, so we really want to get the forecast right. We really want to monitor for that heightened fire risk. F, big word, if, power is to be cut, here is how it will go. We like to contact the cities and counties, then we start contacting our customers either via automated text or automated phone call. If that message comes, heres what happens next. Some areas can be shut off remotely, with digital equipment on the lines, other areas have to be shut off manually, depends on where they are located. And what about restoration . We cant return the power until the weather has passed, and then we can start patrolling and inspecting the lines, making the repairs. That can be between 24 and 48 hours. In most cases, we restore power within 24 hours. But we ask everyone to be prepared for an outage lasting 48 hours or longer, a multiple day outage. Again, pg e says it expects to make this decision within this hour, it could come later, because there are very complicated formulas above and beyond just heat and humidity and wind speed. There has to be an officially declared red flag alert, that has already been done, the winds are picking up a bit, but i wouldnt call this the kinds of winds that a firefighter would really fear compared to some of the ones weve covered when the major fires to place in the last three years. But, the weather is a fickle thing, and they have a lot of information, and the winds will get alleged hunger, and if they get strong enough, we are off to the races. We will be later back later this hour once of the decision made, if it is made. Still a developing situation, we will check back in with you. And of course we are talking about the warm and windy conditions, obviously nothing compared to the conditions we are expecting later on today. In terms of the winds, it can pick up a bit, but theres always a bit of doubt with the forecast, we are not talking about extreme winds, over 60 or 70 miles an hour, but whenever you are caught up in the danger zone, rent 20 to 30 miles an hour, that is a cause for concern. Thats why everybody is keeping a close eye on the forecast. Take a look at the highs from this afternoon. The preliminary highs, santa rosa, 102 degrees, walnut creek, 99, san jose 95, San Francisco 87, even the coast, in the lower 80s. 80 to 81 degrees, the heat advisory will continue into your wednesday forecast. Thats in place for today, and then all the areas in yellow, essentially for most of the barry bay area. In terms of the fire danger, the main concern gusty winds out of the north and northeast. The red flag fire warning in place until 11 00 wednesday. We could have gusts approaching 30 to 35 miles an hour, maybe a few isolated spots approaching 40 miles an hour. Still, very dry him as a in place for the north bay hills, the delta region also out toward the east bay hills as well. I did notice a wind gust earlier today up to 51 miles an hour, at mount st. Helena. These are isolated, stronger wind events across the bay area, you can see what the forecast model does later on today, the colors indicate stronger winds pushing into portions of yolo county and napa county, not extreme, but of course this is what pg e is watching with the potential for stronger winds. Those winds could stick around into tomorrow morning, before backing off into tomorrow afternoon. The winds, right now, around 12 to 17, 21 miles an hour, out toward mount diablo, thats a gust of 18 miles an hour. Here is the satellite showing you clear skies up and down the coastline, the northerly wind in full effect, as a result, temperatures, big warmup today, the current readings, 101 in fairfield, San Francisco 85, san jose in the mid90s, so very hot today, another hot forecast for tomorrow. Then bigger changes headed our way by thursday into friday, we will talk more about those changes in the full forecast in a few minutes. And Sonoma County authorities are opening cooling centers for people who need to escape this heat. The Finley Community center on College Avenue in santa rosa is open until 7 pm today and tomorrow. The petaluma Community Center on mcdowell boulevard is also open today and tomorrow until 8 pm and the Windsor Senior Center on foxwood drive is open until 6 pm.

Several times over the past week intruders have come face toface with residents in their own homes. Ktvu Crime Reporter henry lee joining is now live after speaking with victims today, and henry, you have more on whats going on here. Reporter with all the hot weather weve had lately, a lot of these victims kept their doors open. Thats how the bad guys got in. I was sitting right about here. Deirdre freeman was painting in her alameda home when she was surprised by a stranger. When he came in, i noticed him, he was right at the edge of this rug. Not wanting to provoke him, she began talking to him, even as he sat down on her couch, her 12yearold daughter was sleeping in the next room. He then started asking me questions about my art, and thats when he got very perverse. With no signs of him leaving, freeman ran out the front door which she had left open. I dashed here around that couch and dashed outside down the steps and yelled help help help a neighbors surveillance camera caught these images of the suspect, he has distinctive tattoos near his eyes that read lost, love and lone wolf. In a separate case burglar slipped in as i door in this apartment complex and snuck past the sleeping residence, made himself a sandwich and smoked a joint. He had also taken some food items and smoked some marijuana. By then the residence roommate came home, found everything in disarray, and heard the shower running. I knock on the bathroom door, i hear a voice that is not his, so i knock again and open it. He jumps back into the shower. He backhanded the suspect and held him until police arrived. Officers arrested this man, 23 yearold dennis kruse, hes been charged with burglary and in a third incident, richardson scheider was outside gardening when someone snuck in a side door. He had already got into my purse which was sitting on the washing machine, and he took 100 out of it. But fortunately, he didnt take any of my credit cards. The Common Thread on this one, either the doors were left unlocked, and the residents were home. Police say this warm weather, people need to stay alert. They tend to leave doors and windows unlocked, and its understandable when it gets hot, but you also have to be aware that these things will happen. To make the Important Message is seal every entry point from the window to adore, even if you are home. Live in alameda, henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Its tough to get all those windows close, especially with how hot it is right now. Thank you henry. The San FranciscoFire DepartmentTraining Facility on Treasure Island is set to shut down, still to come, the importance of this center and at the push to find a new place to train. Plus, cal fire is increasing resources around the bay area because of dangerous fire conditions. Up next we will talk live with an official from cal fire about this round of warm weather and fire season moving forward. And the ones that mother gives you dont do anything at all remember what the dormouse said welcome aboard. Feed your head with the hot and windy conditions, cal fire is on high alert, bringing in reinforcements to help knockdown the threat out there. They will be here for a while, historically october, november and december are the peak fire months here in the state. For more on all this we are joined by the Cal Fire Division chief, jonathan cox, the good of you to come in today. We know about the dangerous conditions we have in the bay area and across Northern California, what is cal fire do to strategically position crews to be ready in the event that a fire breaks out . So we look statewide, where the threat is going to be, specifically right now Northern California is where the real wind event is happening. We bring in strike teams from Southern California, we up aircraft so they are in the air earlier in the morning, and then specific areas where there is additional specific needs, we staff additional equipment. We have five strike teams in Northern California right now of engines, additional hand crews, and then on top of that even more local Government Resources prepositioned for when an event occurs. We know this is the time of year we have seen the most devastating fires, including those recently. When cal fire sort of looks at this time of year, obviously its gotta be really concerning, but how do you in fact mapped out all of the resources, all of the reinforcements that you are going to need . Thats a great question, theres a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to logistics of moving resources. We have two operation centers, one in Northern California, one in Southern California and they are the hubs for resources in both parts of the state. When a big event happens, all resource ordering goes to these two centers, and we can move resources all over the state. Thousands of people that need to be used, and this is the time of year that we get the damaging fires. Of the top 10 fires in californias history, the majority happen late in the summer early fall and offshore conditions. The thing that is different heading into this fire season, is the fact that we now have pg e instituting these planned safety power shutoffs in areas of concern. What role does cal fire play in figuring out how, when, and where to shut off the power . Obviously it follows very closely with the offshore wind event, and where its going to hit. They have their own process for determining when the shutoffs will occur. There is coordination at a regional level, as far as when and where they will occur, that fire officials locally know that will happen. And thats important both for being ready for the community and the calls, and also that fire stations are prepared with generations and backup systems so they can be in place. Its coordinated at a higher level, but obviously it something we are very interested in understanding. Because they are impacted just as the entire community is. As we continue on the next few days, talk with us a little bit about what cal fire will be focusing on, we talked about the reinforcements being brought in, but it seems as though we are all just kind of waiting and hoping that something doesnt in fact spark and lead to one of these catastrophic fires. Theres a few things, firstly we will get a lot of resources that can start very quickly, we put more resources on these events in the earlier phase because of the danger that is out there. We will also look statewide and see when this wind event will come down to to Southern California, we have to move resources to deploy what we need. The good news, weve had a relatively mild season so far, knock on wood, that continues. Right now we are preparing for the worst and trying to get on these small fires when they do start. With all the crews in place, just hope you dont need them. Cal Fire Division chief, we appreciate you
