live from the cbs bay area studios this is kpix5 news. it's imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay. >> tonight hillary clinton is in a face-off with the fbi over a new e-mail investigation. good evening. i'm elizabeth cook. >> i'm ken bastida. just days before the election the feds drop a bombshell. the fbi has reopened the criminal investigation into clinton's e-mail scandal. veronica de la cruz tells us the feds uncovered new e-mails during a sexting investigation. veronica? >> the fbi won't say what's in those e-mails. director james comey admits he doesn't know himself, but the presidential nominee insists that she has nothing to hide. it was nearly four months ago that fbi director james comey cleared hillary clinton of any criminal wrongdoing for using a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state, but today comey sent a three paragraph letter to congress writing, "agents on an unrelated case had learned of the existence of e-mails that appear to be pertinent to the clinton investigation." >> we are calling on the fbi to release all the information that it has, even director comey noted that this new information may not be significant. so let's get it out. >> cbs news has learned the investigation involved former new york congressman anthony weiner, estranged husband of long time clinton aide huma abedin. the fbi confiscated a laptop the two shared. separately wean -- weiner is under investigation for allegedly sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year- old girl in north carolina. >> so what he's saying is i may have seen something that may be pertinent. i can't tell you. >> the investigation is the biggest political scandal since watergate and it's everybody's hope that justice at last can be delivered. >> comey did not put a timetable when the updated investigation would be completed. all the fbi will say about these e-mails is they were not from clinton herself. veronica de la cruz, kpix5. >> so why would the fbi drop a bombshell like this so close to the election? kpix5 political reporter melissa caen said they didn't really have a choice. >> the timing is clearly very unfortunate. we saw hillary clinton extremely upset of this -- upset this is happening 11 days before the election, but director comey said if i was accused of holding this information until after the election, then it would be a real scandal and indefensible. >> comey said he also felt obligated to let congress know about the new e-mail since he previously testified that the case was closed. breaking news, there's been another freeway shooting on 580, this time in richmond near marina bay parkway. it happened after 8:00. westbound lanes were briefly shut down. we

erosion. >> the problem is we don't have good measurements of that. >> reporter: jonathan rogge is a research geologist studying the effects of erosion on the 100-foot cliff around ft. funston, but getting good measurements is tricky. >> it's always difficult trying to measure a cliff. you wouldn't do that with a survey rod. it's too dangerous. >> reporter: that's why the california coastal records projects comes in. kenneth and gabriel adelman have been taking aerial photos of the coastline for years. >> these photos were taken with lots of overhappen one after another after another. >> reporter: like -- overlap one after another after another. >> reporter: like these taken in 2004 which show this landslide and combined with the granite the usgs can combine them and get more information then otherwise wouldn't. there's plenty of anecdotal evidence at ft. funston. how much erosion is there? see the structures in the sand? they used to be on clifftops, but now the usgs has

trees are everywhere. they're victims of a tiny killer clearing a path across california and wilson walker explains only on 5 all the rain we're getting could make it worse. >> it's not just like the fall colors on the east coast. these are trees that are dying, trees that were dead. this is pretty early on, still have needles on the tree. >> reporter: deep in the stanislas national forest entomologist sherry smith is following a killer no larger than a grain of rice. >> for native bark beetles in california drought is the trigger. you can see the tunneling. >> reporter: the beetles are clear cutting their way through pine forest all the way down through southern california. >> there were so many bugs you'd see a tree, it looked like it had been shot with a shotgun. >> reporter: the state's tree problems don't end with bark beetles. >> in 2008 when i was in this exact location, you couldn't see any sky. >> reporter: she's watched sudden oak death spread from monterey county up the coast. >> it looks rather innocuous. this is what the disease looks like. >> reporter: the tips of the leaves the oaks turn brown before falling gray to the forest floor. >> the denseness is a chronic issue. >> reporter: bark beetles, disease, too much density on the forest floor. any single one of these things can cause trouble for a tree or forest, but when you add them together insultly with the fuel of a -- simultaneously with the fuel of a four year drought, you're talking about something that's nothing but a tree disaster and it now covers a large swath of california. >> we've estimated about 66 million statewide. >> reporter: 66 million dead trees, the worst in the bark beetle explosion in the foothills where thousands of acres every single pine tree has died. >> pretty much in here it's almost 100% mortality of the ponderosa pine. >> reporter: back in kern county forresters are trying to keep the dead trees from causing another disaster in the form of an explosive fire and that means homeowners are responsible for bringing the trees down as their property values fall right along with them. >> it's a real problem getting rid of the trees without going broke doing it. >> reporter: then there's an even larger price for all of us as utility crews with caltrans race to keep dead trees off the power lines and roadways. as for the future, even some drought relief might make some problems worse. >> it's coursing through the water and landscape. >> reporter: while a healthy rain season would slow the beetles, sudden oak death thrives in moisture. >> it's waiting for the ripe conditions and it will have explosive growth again. >> reporter: it's a statewide catastrophe that has only intensified the debate over how california's forest strategy should evolve, but for tens of millions of trees, the damage is done and recovery will take decades. for some areas the worst may still lie ahead as california tries town tangle a crisis now unfolding across 32 million acres of forest land. >> we keep passing the buck really and it gets harder to have enough resources to solve the problem. >> reporter: wilson walker, kpix5. >> dry out there for how many years and that causes the forest to do what it's doing now try to rejuvenate itself. one year it's bad, four years in a row is a significant problem. bark beetle loves drought. let's hope we can put an end to that part of the issue. one storm moving out, another storm poised to move in up toward eureka. tomorrow night and sunday morning there it is, heading towards eureka, heavy rainfall falling
