So one of our big stories today as fact that President Trump abruptly ended Coronavirus Relief talks yesterday that would have put money into the hands of Small Businesses the desperately needed to House Speaker nancy pelosi is pledging a deal could still be made without the president s approval, washington correspondent anna werner key has the latest. President donald trump is calling on congress to pass a covid19 relief bill hours after calling off negotiations until after the election we will have the sooners down and he wont win the election House Speaker nancy pelosi said tuesday in a conversation with the nonprofit 92nd street and why that shes been working with treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin to come up with a deal since july. The president said on twitter late tuesday that hes ready to sign a standalone bill for 1200 direct payment checks. But pelosi says thats just a fraction of the 2 trillion dollar package and democrats are asking for vote on the pact. Workers need to do for americas working families, the democrats in the house just simply didnt want to negotiate on just the covid issues but Missouri Republican senator roy blunt says democrats are to blame for the inaction they have added so much to the package. Were so intent on getting to a number rather than solving a problem democratic president ial nominee, joe biden said in a Campaign Speech in gettysburg that congress should pass a second stimulus bill immediately 210,000 americans. Could lose their lives by the end of the year. Enough President Trump has been sidelined from the campaign trail while he remains under quarantine isolated in the white house residence in washington, im anna warren, a key. Well happening tonight of course we have the Vice President ial debate the one and only one that will be held between senator Kamala Harris and Vice President mike pence but tonights debate will look a little different of course in the wake of President Trumps confirmed covid19 illness, some of the changes include putting a plexiglas between pence and harris.

Theyll be space just more than 12 feet apart due to covid related Safety Missions many expected viewership topbe huge especially given the questions raised following President Trumps recent hospitalization with covid19 this is probably the most important Vice President ial debate that happened in our lifetimes. I mean because up be good a job to president ial candidates. So i think youre going to have a lot of voters tuning in under this sort of muck all question in up what might we get no matter which one of these guys for harris part of that could mean pushing back against the most liberal senator in washington label she was once given in 4 pence it could mean defending his work on the president s Coronavirus Task force. One of the specific topics will be chosen by the moderator usa, todays Washington Bureau chief susan page and in another sign of the times will the candidates will not be wearing masks. There will be plexiglass barriers set up between them in Salt Lake City on chip yost reporting.

We have numbers on containment this morning at 58 so has gone up a little bit. 600 homes and other structures have been burned down and theyre still more than 20,000 in harms way. Napa valley wineries some of the hardest hit by the fire 17 have burned out yeah in fact weve got more on the story now from kron fours will tran hes up in napa county with a look. At some of the destruction this morning well. Look right behind me james and area this is brehmer a family winery and as you can see the fire raced through this area and has scorched some of the vineyards good news though it looks like predominantly this location has been saved including the buildings, its still smoldering even though it went through here more than a week ago. They say that the vineyards a very resilient, but unfortunately, not just at this location, but throughout all the wineries in napa county they all took on some form of smoke some worse than others but the grapes a lot of times might not be able to be salvaged unfortunately for that and thats why theyre thinking about maybe turning wine into brandi let me show you some video of another winery just right down the road in calistoga now when this fire ripped through the area people were told evacuate, they didnt care if you are winery and yet millions of dollars get our lives are on the line so they all raced out at that havent winery in calistoga fortunately for them or unfortunately how nerve wracking is it to go to another location and watch the fired dick closer and closer through Surveillance Video to your winery. They did. A guy gets some sort of damage but it looks like they will be okay. By some incredible miracle. They save our winery. Theres really no words from a still are winery is a 100 year old redwood barn. Its tinderbox and he. The fact saved it is is is beyond my heart is just my heart is beating fast now telling you this story they saved it. They saved her winery they saved this winery and often times what happened was the workers they put down their equipment they picked up the hoses and they started fighting as best as they possibly could until the firefighters arrived, you can see what it did to this land youre down the road the burgess winery unfortunately that winery went up in flames, the restaurant at meadowood that also went up in flames and that is famous. Among celebrities. We dont know the full extent just yet newest face its in the millions of dollars we dont know the full extent of the damage or destruction until that people are allowed to return.

Hey not all that bad we are in for a cooler day in part due to that gray thats pushing across the bay area timber on right here not the brightest just yet cold front to our north and some tropical moisture to our south now these 2 factors have been combining over the past couple of weeks to make it look like we could see some rainfall in the future and it will happen for areas of the pacific northwest, but that chance of rainfall back here at home really starting to diminish especially on friday. Rainfall looking less and less likely as models come through showing a good chance of rain for the pacific northwest, but bay area stepping back off the gas pedal little bit for rain chances to start the weekend. Now saturday. We do see our better chance of rainfall for the weekend ahead, especially Mendocino County northward on up into the pacific northwest, north bay areas like Sonoma County in the vicinity, the glass fire could see some light showers and thats actually ideal got a fresh burn scar up there still some fire activity in crews still need access to some of those burned areas so the last thing you need is a washout just a little sprinkle some light rainfall to help at least to alleviate some of that fire threat of north temperatures today, cooler as i mentioned part of that is due to the deep in marine layer which is going to stay put little bit longer today going to take a while for this great a burn off today and that means once we do see sunshine temperatures will be moderated enough that will be welcomed by some pretty cool temperatures. 60s and 70s for bayside areas while at our warmest only the 80s livermore at 80 degrees dublin. Pleasanton in the upper 70s. Well, oakland at 67. Concord up through Vacaville Fairfield antioch in pittsburgh, all either low to mid 80s today. Temperatures towards the coast as you would expect on a foggy day like today. A little bit cooler with 50s in point rays. Tomorrows temperatures will be even cooler yet as cooler air from the pacific northwest. I showed you just a second ago begins to push on into the region temperatures stay in the 70s that are warm us through the upcoming weekend. Fridays chances of rainfall i mentioned diminishing saturday, were Still Holding on to that chance of showers especially in the north bay. Robin all right, thank you john were heading back to the san mateo bridge because we need to check in on 92, its been tough this morning after a couple of crashes and a stall. And looking at this live shot, its still quite slow on the hayward side this is just west of the toll plaza. You see how just comes to a crawl on the flat section its going to stay like that up and over the high rise as we enter foster city and right after the high rise is when traffic starts to pick up so youre averaging about 34 minutes, its low enough to get out there early for that trip to the peninsula because you dont want to be late here at the bay bridge recovering from a crash was on the eastern span before Treasure Island. And it just actually never recovered so its backed up all the way through the bottom of so heading into San Francisco this morning get out there early because it is packed but it does clear up west of Treasure Island, so its not this bad all the way across here at the richmond sandra fell this is nice. We got some early clearing to the north bay 8 minutes and trouble free off to one oh one and traffic tracker just showing some freeways and drive times not bad at all check out 2 8011 minutes from san jose to cupertino back to you. And the buzz its happening covid is spreading in the nfl gruden better keep that mask up because its finally reached the raiders defensive tackle Maurice Hurst is the first man down you may think thats not a big deal but he played 35 snaps against the bill so now they have to watch it. And who else on the raiders has been around him meantime the raiders are continuing to watch derek carr and 9 other players who got too close for covid at that fundraiser and the patriots have another case cornerback Stephon Gilmore somehow caught it even after the great lakes. The team went to to keep anybody who bit around cam newton separate flying 2 planes to mondays game in kansas city and now the probably freaking out because look at how close gilmore got to Patrick Mahomes gilmore played every defensive snap. In mondays game. Just as the titans once covid gets role and they just had 2 more players. Test positive that makes 22 people with that club in just a week. Yes, theres a chance but going to be easy for the as since they dug themselves to haul in the American LeagueDivision Series and the astros did even cheat at least i did hear anything in trash cans game 2 started out just like game one promising. With a chris davis home run but then George Stringer got the in the astros wind up on top 5 to 2. After the game bob melvin audit
