Reporter in Northern California, hundreds. Thousands of pg e customers are once again without power to prevent wildfires. With our power goes out, were losing school, were losing work. A new video shows the moment a Fresno Police officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager. This was clearly wrong. And all that matters has written a book.

Were back in our regular breaking news from Northern California where a dangerous wildfire forced hundreds to flee their homes overnight. Video shows the fire burning out of control in Sonoma County. Thats north of San Francisco. And thats the heart of californias worldfamous wine country. Heavy winds are driving the fastmoving fire. California. How are the conditions there now . Reporter good morning to you. We are here on the front line of what has become an increasingly desperate effort by firefighters to push back on this blaze. The wind gusts here picking up at times to 76 Miles Per Hour. We have watched over the past few hours as this hillside has become engulfed in flames. In fact, we were in an area higher up on the hill where the flames ripped around the corner so fast, we had to evacuate. The smoke so thick, we couldnt escape it in our car. Were being told helicopters which were used initially to douse water on these flames were grounded because of turbulence. This is being fought the oldfashioned way, on the ground with bulldozers scraping over some of the dry vegetation and water hoses aimed at the flames. 0 containment at this point. This is a rural area, but still hundreds of homes we are told are in harms way. Overnight, people were evacuated as a precaution. And the fire chief saying that were here in wine valley, this is a dangerous area for in fire to happen. Right now some of those vineyards are in harms way. Were told that the precautions here taken to cut the power happened yesterday by pg e. Its unclear at this point if the power was cut in this area when this fire started. Southern california also in harms way. Wind gusts expected to pick up there with the santa ana winds. Were told hundreds of thousands of people could be in the dark as a precaution. All right. Thank you. Cbs news climate and weather contributor Jeff Berardelli is here. How did the fire grow so fast . The winds are very strong especially on the ridge tops and the foothills. Thats where the wind tends to be the strongest. You see the wind is coming from the intermountain west. Its already very dry wind. And its blowing across the tops of these mountains. As it does so, it comes down the mountains and Action Assembly rates downward. That causes the winds to be strong. It also heats it up because it compresses that air, and it dries it out. We have kind of a onetwo punch. Strong winds, dry conditions across california. Red flag warnings in effect north and south. And look at that a high wind barng in effect for warning in effect for los angeles. Wind gusts up to 55, 65 miles congress seem to be listening. Dozens of members delayed a hearing yesterday storming into a highsecurity room where another official was due to answer questions about the white house lobbying effort in ukraine. Democrats called it a stunt to deflect attention from earlier damaging testimony by a top u. S. Diplomat. The president lashed out again at republican critics calling socalled never trumpers, quote, human scum, end quote. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the drama was unfolding yesterday. Good morning. What were those republicans looking for . Reporter tony, they want the transcripts of these depositions to be made public so they can read them. They want future depositions to be held out in the open. Democrats say thats not how investigations work here on from the American People that they wont allow voting members of congress to hear whats going on in that room . Reporter cooper was the ninth person to be interviewed behind closed doors as part of the impeachment inquiry. I cannot access witnesses. I cannot even read their testimony. If a government can do this to the president of the United States, they can do it to you it, as well. Reporter democrats scoffed. Im not really sure. I guess when youre desperate, you go back to complaining about the process. Reporter about a quarter of all House Republicans sit on the three committees currently involved in the impeachment inquiry. Several of them joined in the protest. Members have had it. Reporter even though theyre already allowed to attend the depositions and ask questions. Its a pathetic stunt. Reporter democrats acuse the gop rebels of a blatant breach of security for taking their phones into a secure room. Our republican colleagues evidently have freaked out because they have nothing sbarve to say about that. We believe there needs to be transparent and open. Reporter when she finally was able to testify, cooper backed up what others have said about the unusual nature of the holdup in aid to ukraine. Democrats contend that closed door hearings are necessary for investigations and cited both the clinton and nixon impeachment proceedings which included closed door interviews. Investigations are not public. When an investigation is done, there will be public hearings. Thats how its always been done. Reporter if the house does vote to impeach, this will all head to a trial in the senate. After ambassador bill taylors testimony, the numbertwo republican there had this to say the picture coming out of it based on the reporting that weve seen is, yeah, i would say its not a good one. Reporter a very candid assessment from a top republican, john thune, though he, too, complained about the process and said that without full transparency, its very difficult for anyone to get the full picture. Tony . And nancy, were now learning that ukraines president held a meeting with advisers before he was sworn in. And this was apparently to discuss how to deal with requests from the president s personal attorney rudy giuliani. Why might this important, and what else do we know . Reporter its important because this meeting took place two months before that nowinfamous phone call between President Trump and president zelensky where President Trump asked him pointblank in july to inestigate Vice President joe biden and his son. Zelensky met with his top advisers to discuss how to deal with the pressure that they were getting from giuliani and others to dig up political dirt. The ukrainians wanted to avoid getting caught up in a u. S. Election. This meeting reportedly lasted almost three hours. And according to the a. P. , zelensky cited a congratulate tori phone call with President Trump ads the source of his unease. The contents still have not been released. Nancy cordes capitol hill. Thank you. A Russian News Agency says that Kurdish Forces have started leaving Northern Syria with Russian Troops moving to enforce a ceasefire along the turkish border. President trump has lifted sanctions against turkey as a reward for making a deal to help russia. Ul story. Paula, good morning to you. Does this mean the u. S. Is getting all the way out . Reporter well, good morning, gayle. The president confirmed that a small number of troops will remain in syria to protect Key Oil Fields from isis. A u. S. Official tells cbs news that plan will involve at least 200 troops. But with a small presence, the u. S. Is effectively relinquishing influence in the region, and it appears russia will now be calling the shots. This was an outcome created by us, the United States, and nobody else. Reporter the u. S. Was not at the negotiating table when russia and turkey struck a deal to end fighting in Northern Syria. Let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sand. Reporter and while the president framed his announcement as a triumph in his effort to press other nations o take responsibility for foreign conflicts, he failed to mention that russia and turkey will jointly police a border zone in Northern Syria and push out Kurdish Forces who had been working alongside the u. S. In the fight against isis. Other countries have stepped forward. They want to help. And we think thats great. Reporter the president appears willing to cede influence in the region to florida saying that the fight against isis now falls on others. You cannot rely on syria, russia, or turkey to protect the United States against isis. Reporter the white house is trying to downplay how many of the 10,000 isis prisoners may have escaped. There were a few that got out. A small number, relatively speaking. Theyve been largely recaptured. Reporter but thats not what the president s special envoy for syria, james jeffrey, said on wednesday. We would say the number is now over 100. We do not know where they r. Reporter for now the fighting has stopped, but the turkish offensive which was unleashed after the u. S. Withdrew this month cost hundreds of lives and forced hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee the fighting. Anthony . Thank you. Facebook is dealing with a growing threat from some members of congress who say they want to break up the company. Ceo Mark Zuckerberg testified at a House Committee hearing in washington yesterday. Democrats hit him with a barrage of criticism on Election Security and other topics. Ed okeefe is on capitol hill. What brought zuckerberg to congress this time . Reporter good morning. He was officially here to talk about his new ideas for cryptocurrency. Lawmakers spent more time asking about other subjects including civil rights and political advertising on facebook ahead of the 2020 elections. We faced a lot of issues over the past few years. Reporter officially called to testify about his ideas for a w cryptocurrency, lawmakers pressed Mark Zuckerberg on a variety of topics like concerns about diversity at facebook you have ruined the lives of many people, discriminated against them. Reporter and whether the company is doing enough to root out sex traffickers. Were working with Law Enforcement in building technical systems to identify harm youre not working hard enough, sir. Reporter it was facebooks plan to continue running ads from political candidates even if theyre misleading that earned special interest. It seems that a policy that allows politicians to lie, mislead, and deceive would also allow facebook to sell more ads to those politicians, thus making your company more money. The very small percent of our business that is made up of political ads does not come anywhere close to justifying the controversy that this incurs. Reporter new york congressman alexandria ocasiocortez asked zuckerberg whether shed be allowed to buy ads about false information about her liberal environmental plan. Do you see a problem with a complete lack of Fact Checking on political advertisements . Congresswoman, i think lying is bad, and i think if you were to run an ad that had a lie, that would be bad. So you wont take down lies, or you will take down lies . A simple yes or no. In a democracy i believe people should be able to see for themselves so you wont take them down . Reporter some republicans lawmakers refrained from attacks and praised his ideas, comparing zuckerberg to the president. Youre both very successful businessmen. Youre both capitalists. Youre both billionaires. You both challenge the status quo. He calls it draining the swamp. You see it as innovation. Reporter as if a rough day with lawmakers and talk about possibly breaking up facebook wasnt enough, now 47 state attorneys general say theyre working together on a new antitrust investigation of facebook that comes as some federal agencies are also conducting antitrust investigations. Gayle . All right. Ed okeefe, very interesting day on capitol hill. Thank you so much. Disturbing new video is shedding light on a deadly 2017 Police Shooting of a teenage murder suspect as he tried to run away. Their Surveillance Video shows clearly the 16yearold climbing a fence and then falling to the grounds after being shot. Now the teenagers parents are suing over his death. Our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, is here with more. What are police saying . Because the video does not look good. Look, its going to come down to the civil lawsuit. The jurys going to have to decide was the shooting justified. There were three different, separate agencies who investigated the case and ruled the shooting was justified. They said at the time the teenager who was unarmed was suspected of murder. The familys lawyer says just look at this tape. April 15th, 2017. 16yearold isiah murriettagolding leaves a fence and runs from the police after a traffic stop. He makes it eight steps before an officer on the other side of the fence pulls the trigger and shoots him in the back of the head. He crumples to the ground. Police say there is more to the story than just how it ended. Hands up, hands up reporter body cam footage from one of the officers shows that it started about a minute earlier when a car that was driven by isiahs brother was stopped at a snapping center. Backward reporter both had been suspected of a deadly shooting that happened the day before. Down on your knees. Reporter isiah takes off running. Police start chasing him, across a road, then over the fence, and thats when you can hear the fatal shot. Sergeant ray villalvazo, the officer identified in the lawsuit as the one who pulled the trigger, said that during the chase, isiah reached for his waistband multiteletimes. And thats why the sergeant said he feared for his life. Police say isiah murriettagolding was known to carry a gun, and he was on the grounds of a preschool when he was shot. The lawsuit which was filed by isiahs mother claims that during the foot chase isiah never threatened an officer or made any threatening gestures, and that nothing isiah might have done justified the use of deadly force. Stewart chandler is the family attorney you cant say that every time an officer fires a gun its automatically okay. There has to be a line where you say this is not acceptable, and this is one of those cases. So the police in fresno say isiahs 17yearold brother who was in the car with him before the shooting was arrested and pleaded guilty to the murders the suspects were accused of committing. The familys lawyer says that shouldnt matter here. Police have to answer a lot of questions. In the video hes still running away, hes shot through a fence, david, from the back. Yeah. A bullet shouldnt be used in a case of pursuit it would seem to me. It looked like he was grabbing his pants. I guess on the scene you dont know. Theres a lot of commotion on a scene. It does appear hes just running away. It will come down to what the jury decides. The police say it was justified. Will 12 members of a jury agree . We shall see. Thank you so much, david.
