The dry conditions are going to inspire to create conditions that p gs going to want to turn the power off while this is happening. But 51,000 customers in parts of Sonoma Napa Solano counties as you can see here in these areas colored in are expected to be impacted. Now the good news is the yesterday the power shut off were canceled for other parts of the bay area namely in the east bay alameda Contra Costa County canceled. Marin county actually canceled as well and then as we head towards the south bay. We have both san mateo and santa clara counties. Removed from the power shut off list so thats fantastic news for those portions of the bay. After the wind event is over for folks in the north bay pg e says those customers should have their power back on by tomorrow evening. Thats their promise anyway. Daria. Eugenies promise to minimize the impact of these power shut off in the future to crowdsource tale of a second has more. We all know its not sustainable.

That next year we will not be in the situation that will be able to protect the public. In ways that arent as. Currently disruptive as they are today pg e says this fire season was a learning lesson. And no work to accelerate improvements within a system to addressing the deployment of the weather system which gives. Scott and his team the ability to see the weather in a more detailed way and then there is the distributive generation microgrids so everything is going taken as you can have to accelerate that so that we can say with commitment and confidence that we should see a dramatic improvement in the way we do this into the next fire season in San Francisco tiller bus aqi kron 4 news.

Another big story and theres going to be increased security on bart following a deadly stabbing at the south hayward station one man was killed in a fight on a train yesterday afternoon it started with the attacker trying to steal shoes from someone who was sleeping on the train. And a Good Samaritan tried to intervene. And pulled out a knife and that led to the fight. The attacker took that knife and fatally stabbed the victim. Heres video of the attacker seen leaving after the fight, he ran away from the station and tried to carjack several cars was finally arrested at a nearby dealership after he tried to steal a car from that dealership and then got into a fight with the owner of that business. You know she rangers. Surge fighting with some sort of him too. And a couple times and weve got to know street analysts some of the car stopped car stopped the train jumped into the guys car. I know you make use all i want is my keys start hitting again ahead of 3 or 4 times in the face is the latest our poll now just given the keys of not want a plea on the street i hear youre getting the keys. So i just reacted. Barr has security cameras at a on board and at the train station on the platforms. Investigators are now combing through that footage. Happening today, 3 more witnesses are slated to testify in the public impeachment hearings on capitol hill karen caper has a look now at what well expect. From todays testimony. So this country President Trump dismissive of much of the witness testimony in the impeachment inquiry. So far i call these people are talking about. Conversation of a conversation. Another conversation that was had by the president. Disgrace. But todays key witness did have contact with the president and democrats have more questions for the Us Ambassador to the European Union gordon sondland. Weve had a lot of contacts we had a lot of circumstantial evidence none of it good for the president , but we havent actually heard somebody say, heres what the president told me to do. Someone was tapped by the president along with Energy Secretary rick perry and former special envoy ukraine kurt volker to handle us policy with ukraine holker after telling lawmakers last month he didnt see evidence of a quid pro quo of usaid in a meeting with President Trump conditioned on ukrainians investigating the bidens and democrats said yesterday they should have seen things differently. I now understand that others saw the idea of investigating possible corruption involving Ukraine Company burisma as equivalent to investigating former president Vice President biden i saw them is very different. The former being appropriate and unremarkable the latter being unacceptable. In retrospect. I should have seen that connection differently soaker was one of 4 witnesses yesterday as democrats keep the inquiry moving but remained vague on a time line for completions on capitol hill, the prime karin caifa you.
