because of natural disasters like fires will face harsher penalties. governor brown has signed a bill into law which expands the crime of looting to include times when people are evacuated because of an emergency. the new law increases penalties for anyone convicted of looting to include more jail time and fines. you may remember some looters have been found posing as firefighters and other emergency workers. an explosion shook a san jose neighborhood after a car suddenly erupted in flames. happened last night at stockton avenue and west taylor street. firefighters had to douse the vehicle with water for several minutes to knock down those intense flames. no one was hurt. now police are trying to figure out how this fire started. president trump is threatening to revoke the security clearances of six high-ranking former national security officials. on that list are former cia director john brennan, former fbi director james comey, and

four former top national security and intelligence officials from the obama and bush administrations. each have been critical of the pred's relationship with vladimir putin. >> they have politicized and in some cases actually monetized their public service and their security clearances and making baseless accusations of improper contact with russia or being influenced by russia against the president is extremely inappropriate. >> comey and his deputy andrew mccabe lost their clearance after they were fired. the white house says at this point, it has no plans to strip security clearances from obama and joe biden. >> happening today, the san francisco board of supervisors will vote whether to ban marijuana shops in chunatown. they voted in favor of that proposed ban last week. since the legalization of recreational marijuana at the beginning of this year, chinatown residents have been opposed to a dispensary opening up in the neighborhood. the examiner reports there are
