Sky. Good evening and thank you so much for joining us. Im dion lim. That building is located right in the heart of Downtown Berkeley on university avenue. We have new details, tonight, about the challenge firefighters faced and the scramble to get those nearby to safety. Matt boone joins us live where fire crews are still hard at work. Matt. Good evening, dion. Yeah. As you can see, behind me, firefighters still blasting water onto the sevenstory Apartment Building under construction. This is at university, right in the heart of berkeley and its been burning for hours, likely causing significant damage to this building. Just after 6 00, flames erupted. Watched it literally go up. Reporter he saw from his apartment, across the street. Whats going on . Check the window and all you see it flame up. Reporter his comfort did not last long, as firefighters came door to door. He managed to take his dog, apollo, but forgot his mask. Firefighters say no other structures were burned. Though, th
Fromwould prevent it taking place on the scale. You believe the money ought to be in the budget for mailin voting. Maybe you can help us establish some clarity about the president was trying to say. Let me be clear. We have already passed the cares bill, which provides money for the post office. I have watched all the commissioners. There is plenty of money. The difference between mail ballots and absentees. This is a legitimate argument. What happens if you are changing because of covid in california, we have half the people voting absentee. You can sign up to be a permanent absentee. They have had problems because when you apply by absentee it means you are already registered. You are filling out an application. They know what they know it is going to you. L. A. County got sued when they had a million more people on the roles and they actually had. They had to clean up the records. If you change that to an all you sentot, everybody a ballot on the record. That is when you get a probl

By mail, theyoted sold handle 450 million, there is no question if everybody voted by mail, they would be fine with that. The real question isnt the Postal Service, it will go to the Elections Office or the people voting, are the ballots accurate. Of them getne third thrown out so i think the post office is getting caught up in the political debate and that is the last place the post office should be because there are no problems there. Dan i think one of the reasons that so many of our members are concerned is because just as this debate was beginning to get more visibility, the president said last week he thought additional money for the post office in the covid relief package should be withheld, because it would prevent mailin voting from taking place on the scale that many have called for. Now, you and a senator Mitch Mcconnell have made it clear that you both believe it should be in the budget, so help us some or establish clarity on what the president was trying to say. Rep. Mcca
Thank you for joining us on this friday morning. Lets get right to that breaking news, the most violent night of protests so far in minneapolis. Anger over the death of george floyd boiling over as protesters gained access to a Police Station overnight setting fire to the building just hours after prosecutors said they are not ready to announce whether charges will be filed in connection with floyds death. 500 soldiers with the Minnesota National guard have now been activated to respond to the growing violence. At least 170 businesses have been damaged so far. This is video of a liquor store on fire. The fire chief saying, quote, we will aggressively fight these fires, but well retreat if its not safe. Demands for an arrest in the case have grown since video showed floyd moments before his death handcuffed with a Police Officers knee on his neck. This morning were learning more about previous complaints against that officer as protests spread to cities far beyond minneapolis. Overnight
