For 50 years the Environmental Protection agency has granted waivers to california, allowing us to set emission standards that exceed national limits. Those standards were adopted by so many state, automakers began building cars to the california standard rather than the national standard. Today Governor Newsom says the president s rollback is about one thing and its not jobs. Its about the oil industry, period, full stop. Its not about the car manufactures. Its not about consumers, not about the health. Its not about our economy. Its about oil companies. And there is more. The epa administrator and department of transportation secretary say theyll make the formal policy announcement tomorrow at 5 00 a. M. Our time. California attorney general Xavier Becerra says as soon as that happens, his office will be fil ....
Freeways. Basically this is very close to the macarthur maze close to the oaklandemeryville border. The address is on 40th and san pablo but there are other road closures in the area, as well. Theres smoke pouring off the building blowing northeast right now towards berkeley and oakland. We have heard of evacuations but thats unconfirmed. No injuries reported yet. They will have to figure out the cause of the fire. This is one of those things a building under construction and the frame is up but theres a lot of open space in the middle of the building or the nonexisting building at that point so that turns things into a matchbox so thats what we saw here with this very fierce fire that continues to burn at this hour. Well keep you post the throughout the broadcast. Live in emeryville, anne makevoc, kpix 5. That video is amazing of that fire. I know that you saw it when you were driving on the highway and so did i when i calm out of the caldecott tunnel. You could see a huge fireball. C ....
Its very close to the macarthur maze. You can see it coming from several bay area freeways. Flames were towering into the air. Even the construction cranes were on fire. There are other condos and apartments in the area. Some of them have been evacuated this morning. Firefighters are really fighting this fire in defense mode. They are trying to prevent the fire from spreading. So far, they have been able to do that. But neighbors are without power and water. As soon as i realized it was this i knew it was probably going to be bad because this was like a massive wood scaffolding kind of thing, the way they are constructing it. Reporter yeah. That certainly makes the firefighting effort very difficult. Its like a tinderbox. Check out the cars parked on the street outside burned by falling embers melted by the heat. We havent heard of any injuries yet. But we heard a paramedics pulled into the scene. I think they are trying to figure out what they are dealing with. By all accounts there w ....
Bush in the persian gulf dropped at least one 500pound laserguided bomb on an isis artillery piece that was shelling kurdish positions near the city of irbil. Thats a city where scores of americans are operating out of the u. S. Consulate there and president obama said last night that he had authorized strikes in the event that isis columns started advancing on irbil. We do not know yet for sure whether the artillery piece has been destroyed, but we do know for sure that the two f18s are safely off the target. David, you mentioned the pair of f18s and this first strike. Do you expect there to be more . Reporter i do because in addition to defending irbil, the president has also authorized air strikes to break the siege around that mountain where isis has stranded these thousands and thousands of iraqi refugees. So in addition to those air drops, which are intended to keep them alive, that is only a shortterm solution, and sooner or later, if isis doesnt pull out of there, the u. S. Wil ....
