John roberts has more on all of this now from washington. Reporter with just 66 hours until donald trump takes the oath of office, his Transition Team is accusing democrats of doing everything they can to delegitimize his presidency and leave a mark on his victory. Even senator john mccain whose relationship with trump has been contentious acknowledges when it comes to the leak of unverified rumors last week something doesnt smell right. This information, this information, which by the way was provided to me and i made no judgment on it, but handed it over to the fbi. The fact this unvalidated to say the least document was leaked is somebodys responsibility. Reporter trump got more backup from Vladimir Putin who accused the Obama Administration trying to undercut the president elect. Putin dismissing reports.

New at 10 00 calls for protests are growing here in the bay area. One group is asking for a total shut down of schools on friday. There should not be business as usual.

It affects and estimates over 750,000 young people who arrive in the u. S. Before their 16th birthday. President obama used an executive order to create doca back in 2012. Supporters of the plan say they worry president elect trump will end the program, which protects those who qualify from being deported. President obama made a surprising decision today after his 8 years to the white house comes to an end. He commuted the prison sentence of chelsea manning. She is the Army Intelligence analyst convicted of leaking files to wikileaks revealing military activities across the world. The top secret information included videos of air strikes in iraq and afghanistan. Manning intended to raise Public Awareness about the high cost of war on civilians. Her supporters includes the Uc Berkeley School of journalism. What she did on balance was a great public benefit. For all the talk about the harm she did to national security, i have not seen any incidents cited for the kind of injury he supposedly did to the country. However Many Republican leaders are outraged with the president s decision calling it a grave mistake that it could encourage further actions to espionage. Her 35year sentence was the longest punishment ever imposed for a similar conviction. She is now set to be released in may. The president s decision could have an impact on another highly publicized case. Last week wikileaks founder Julian Assange issued a statement on twitter saying he would agree to a u. S.

Plus, a fitting way to honor two members who were both injured last week when they were both hit by a train. But a controversial plan to help the homeless. Why opponents say it could do more harm than good. We understand this, we get it, people are scared. New at 10 00 a controversial plan to a church in the north bay offering help for the homeless. The plan entails setting up a homeless encampment right on the property. It would be small just six tents to start. But some organizers are starting to say no. Ktvu Debora Villalon reports now from santa rosa with why the church and the city are holding firm. First few nights at Methodist Church welcomes the needy with food and shelter all year, but has decided to do more. The rule, the the accountability. But they caused a Transitional Community at their other campus across town. On this vacant lot a secure tent where highfunctioning Homeless People will live as they work towards housing. This is the spot weve got. We have 2,000 unsheltered Homeless People in sonoma county. Reporter but its a spot surrounded by residential property. An Elementary School sits right across the street. This is where they are talking. They told us they will put the fencing. Reporter neighborhood opponents say they learned late what was planned here and they are now organizing. At this community meeting, there is talk of health and safety issues and pushing back on the outdoor care. We need parents who have children to do that. We are responsible for what happens. To take one child having an issue. Critics have been assured they would be screened and the camp supervised. But they are not convinced. This will attract more homes. That they could monitor it. They would have members from this neighborhood saying all of these people are murderers, rapists, sex offenders, thats not the case. They wont help anyone and they will commend the church for taking a creative approach on a tough issue. They could not solve the homeless problem. We are looking for assistance. This is the way we are hoping might lead to a solution. And one complaint the council acknowledges not enough Community Outreach before the plan was approved. He said that will improve Going Forward because the hope is other private and nonprofit groups will propose their own homeless assistants, especially if this one works out. And advocates began a 24 hour vigil tonight to remember a homeless person or Homeless People rather who have died on the streets. Supporters lined the steps of Berkeley City Hall with candles. Saturday morning a homeless woman was found dead on Martin Luther king jr. Way. Right across from berkeley high. And the cause of her death still hasnt been released. Tonight advocates are asking the city to stop rating homeless encampments and set up the type of sanction like we just heard about. That is the housing. And it is not a proper solution. They dont want people to think that, but it will be a temporary solution until the training homes for affordable housing. And last month the city council, they would approve them to improve shelters. But they say many people would prefer freedom of living on their own to staying in shelters. And now to Mountain View where they believe they were arrested on the burglary charges last week and they may have robbed several of their clients. The 39yearold was arrested on saturday after a woman reported she had been robbed twice while she was sleeping. She told police other items were all missing even though the doors remained locked. The only person with access was the house cleaner. And detectives say they also found evidence of the other burglaries and they would like to hear from anyone who thinks they may be a victim.

Thats how it goes really through tonight and into tomorrow. We are not expecting a lot of rain right away here, but we are expecting the showers to pretty much get going towards the afternoon tomorrow and into the evening hours. Youll see that tomorrow as you come in close you can see where the rain is now and some heavier rain or moderate rain if you will and a small area up by antioch and out by the san ramon area. This is just drop, drop in san jose with the wipers at best. Here is the the model upclose. Here we are tomorrow morning. And so that is kind of the Early Morning commute. Maybe a little bit wet. And then by lunchtime it will get going. So around noontime here in santa rosa they will be getting reports of heavier rain and this is heavy rain.
