>> and tonight, we have live team coverage on the testimony of dr. christine blasey ford and judge brett kavanaugh. the supreme court nominee that she's accused of attacking her. >> emotions running high at the nation's capitol for the kavanaugh hearings. i have the bay area people who made the journey to witness history. >> live where you live, this is "abc7 news." >> i believed he was going to rape me. >> i am innocent of this charge. >> today was the day many had been waiting for, a chance to hear directly from both accuser and accused in a hearing that could impact if brett kavanaugh will sit on the supreme court for the rest of his life. good evening. thanks for joining us. >> for hours today, we've been riveted to the live testimony coming from the senate judiciary committee hearing. it's been our first chance to hear directly from both dr. christine blasey ford, from palo alto. and supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh about her accusation that he sexually assaulted her

back in the early '80s. >> this was extremely emotional for both of them. reporter emily schmidt sums up the testimony from washington, d.c. >> reporter: from the same oath to tell the truth, two very different versions of what that truth is. >> i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. >> reporter: brett kavanaugh defends himself against charges he calls absolutely false. >> i'm here today to tell the truth. i've never sexually assaulted anyone. >> i am here today not because i want to be. i am terrified. >> i just wanted to let you know i'm very sorry, that's not right. >> reporter: arizona prosecutor rachel mitchell did the questioning on behalf of the all-male republican committee members. republicans had questioned the last-minute timing of ford's revelation. democratic committee february dianne feinstein knew about the

story in july but wasn't made public until september. >> i'm an independent person and no one's pawn. >> reporter: ford said the alleged event happened more than three decades ago, but she still gets panicked. she has two front doors on her house and doesn't remember all the details but does remember this. >> indelible in the hipacampus is the laughter. >> this is a circus. the consequences will extend long past my nomination. >> reporter: with only the two of them before the committee, it's his word against hers. with senators soon deciding whose word carries more weight. in washington, emily schmidt. >> we have live team c c for you tonight. >> let's go to our reporter in washington, d.c. >> reporter: larry and ama, what a difference several hours can make. now you can practically hear a

pin drop in the hallway outside where the hearings happened. this has been such a high profile hearing, there were lines 40 people deep as of 6:00 this morning to get inside the building. many of those people were turned away. dr. christine blasey ford herself requested fewer cameras because of the media scrutiny, and because of security concerns the hearing was moved into a smaller room. something washington insiders tell me has never happened before. now, as the hearing got under way, a group of several dozen gathered outside in support of judge kavanaugh. i spoke to one woman, a republican who grew up in the bay area, and now lives in washington. she was furious the hearing was happening. >> i think this whole thing is just being used by the democrats to stall the confirmation, because before he was even named, they said they would pull out all the stops to stop whomever trump nominated.

>> reporter: that group of demonstrators dispursed after it started to rain. about 300 gathered inside to make their voices heard. that was a group from the holton arms school where dr. christine blasey ford attended. it's located near where judge brett kavanaugh went to school. a bay area woman named karen fleshman was also there today. she is the founder of a group called racy conversations, and has been arrested four times since the confirmation hearings. she told me the hearings give her hope the political landscape is changing. >> for this young americans, especially young women, are really paying attention. and i think if the republicans pursue voting him in, they're going to be voting themselves out. >> reporter: california congresswoman jackie spear weighed in on today's hearing, calling republican claims that this hearing is a stall tactic ridiculous, and believing those supporting judge kavanaugh are nervous. >> they're very concerned and

rightfully so, because the women in this country, and frankly the men who support their wives and daughters in this country, are deeply troubled by how this has been handled. when are we going to start believing the victim? >> reporter: i should point out getting reaction from those in the pro kavanaugh camp has been challenging, because not many of them stuck around after the hearing. larry and ama, back to you. >> what about the possibility of a vote for tomorrow? i know in our 5:00 news, you talked to congresswoman jackie spears. she said it might be delayed. any definitive word at this point? >> reporter: yeah, as of right now, we are hearing that the senate judiciry committee is still set to vote tomorrow with a final vote possibly happening as early as next tuesday. so, again, time will tell. in washington tonight, "abc7 news." >> thank you. >> on the peninsula, some of

christine blasey ford's friends and neighbors rallied to support her outside palo alto city hall. >> we all look out for each other's kids, and we bike to school together. and go to dog parks together. so this rally is just an extension of that. it's just an extension of our community showing support. >> when you're supporting christine, what you're really supporting is women and women's rights. >> people also wrote messages of encouragement on pieces of paper that will be delivered to christine blasey ford. in the east bay, a rally is getting under way to show support for christine blasey ford on the cal campus. >> let's go live to cornell bernard. >> reporter: the demonstration has just started. so far, a small group here in support of dr. christine blasey ford. and against the nomination of judge brett kavanaugh. >> we had a lot of folks come

through today who were speechless or crying. i gave a lot of hugs and i received a lot of hugs. it was really nice to feel like i was here for the community that needs support right now, and that is you asurvivors. >> reporter: earlier, some students found a way to support survivors of sexual assault. they created a solidarity quilt to honor dr. christine blasey ford. and the testimony she gave in washington today, many students say they believe her. they invited anyone to write their own quilt panels on fabric. for those impacted by sexual assau assault. that quilt will be on display tomorrow ahead of the kavanaugh vote. we are back live here as these activists and students began this demonstration in support of dr. ford and against the nomination of brett kavanaugh. we're live in berkeley, cornell bernard, "abc7 news." >> cornell, thank you.

people were glued to today's hearing. this picture was taken on a flight from jfk to sfo. all the tvs were tuned in to the live testimony. >> it's partly because the witnesses were so emotional with fear and frustration. you see this professor joined us at 4:00. >> and she recalled her experience as a criminal defense attorney to break down judge kavanaugh's anger. >> lots of people who can display very calm demeanor when they're dealing with the problems of others can't be that calm when dealing with their selves. his whole life is coming unraveled. it's difficult to walk away from a situation like this with integri integrity. >> she also reflected on how supreme court confirmation hearings have become more heated and more partisan during the

last 50 years. partisan divisions on display in d.c. today. next, the perspective from the normer chairman of the california republican party. coming up at 6:30, the conversations that are happening among families a nnld schools influenced by today's emotional testimony. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. the weather is changing and the cooldown

i would never do to them what you did to this guy. this is the most unethical sham since i've been in politics!

and if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you did to this guy. >> the most fiery exchange in today's committee hearing featured republican senator lindsey graham. he was hot, no question about it. >> yeah, that was tense. joining us now is author and attorney tom delbakara, once the chairman of the california republican party. thank you for coming in. first, give us your take from what you witnessed today. >> i wonder whether many minds will be changed. as you can see, she did well, and she probably bolstered her supporters. but brett kavanaugh bolstered his more. a lot of people wondered whether he would fight for it. there was a lot of republicans, with y but i think overall he didn't change minds, but i think brett kavanaugh supporters were happier because he stood up and

fighting what they see as a corrupt process. >> what about the fact that he is not necessarily calling for an investigation? >> well, i think from his perspective, the investigation was sitting right in front of him. it was a good talking point for the democrats to do that, but remember the fbi has done seven on him with this. so at the end of the day, they weren't really asking him questions. i think in a broader perspective, you can see that the supporters of her see this in a different context. the supporters of kavanaugh see this this, it's about keeping the process fair. so in the bigger night is america, this is more divisive, because they see his treatment now in addition to the supreme court, and of course, on the left, they see her as a symbol of a greater movement. that's why there's so much division. and i don't think many mind also be changed. >> both sides clearly have

reasons to feel outrage. the question is, so as a reasonable person, i looked at her testimony and i thought i believe her. then i looked at his level of anger and outrage and i thought i could believe him, too. but somebody's story has to be incorrect here. so would you agree with me that a reasonable perp would say, let's have more -- we don't have enough information. let's get the judge in there, because he may or may not been the third person in the room. let's get the 30 other people there and have a one-week investigation that don't jeopardize the mid term elections so we all know what the real facts are, if that's possible to deduce. >> so in this divided era, that seems plausible, except this was there since july 31st. and then the one person i thought who lost today was senator feinstein, because she got an attorney for this person to help her start the process

but didn't tell her own colleagues. so it looks sort of this rigged thing, and of course, the supreme court now is incredibly powerful position. obamacare, hundreds of billions in one direction or another. so there's just so much lack of trust on the issue, and the republicans want this seat and they want it now. and on the other hand, the democrats want it, as well. so i don't think you're going to have this coming because of the bad blood. >> i thought it was curious that she -- and we're talking about senator feinstein, waited until 8 1/2 hours into the hearing to say i wasn't the one that leaked it, but it was there all along, because after a while i started to think maybe that's true. i don't know. >> and so all of those questions is why the people on the right is saying there's no way this was an honest process. on the other hand, you have a -- wonder how it is on the left that why do they want to rush

this through? but it's really the democrat's own fault in washington, d.c., because if they would have brought this up in july, then this would have all come out. it would have been months in advance, hit rally two months in advance, and i think we would be in the same place. in all of this came out in july, do you think people would say -- have any different view than now? the problem with today is, we've got people not trusting the process, and that is -- that becomes a problem for the democrats because they held this story. and it fuels the kavanaugh side and creates great division. >> so do you think he can still get confirmed to the supreme court? >> well, we're going to find out tonight. because what we'll find out tonight is whether the republicans will have all their people on that committee vote for it. there's only really one person who might not, and that's jeff flake. if it gets out of committee, and you find that tonight if they

have a vote tomorrow and it gets out of committee, he will be confirmed, because mitch mcconnell has done the math and there are 50 republicans who are solid, and mike pence. i think it's 60-40 he will be confirmed. >> let me ask you this, because you're a big-time guy in california, republican politics. >> well, i was. >> if you were in the room, would you tell them we may get our guy on the supreme court and then get crushed when women show up in november for the midterm elections. we may win this and lose the war. >> i actually don't think that's what is going to happen in november. i think republicans have a different problem in the midterms. but i think the reality is, that if these -- if these senators don't stand up for this supreme court and allow this level of n uncorroborated testimony, the republicans are going to have a huge problem with their own voters. it's a complicated process. there's no right answer, and

we're going to study this for years afterwards. but at the end of the day, i think republicans think this supreme court is more important than the midterm election, and that is why it's 60-40 he gets approved. >> without further investigation? >> the investigation is going on day by day, but they will vote next week to confirm him. >> appreciate the insight. thanks for joining us. more on today's hearing coming up. up next,

all right. feeling very fall-like today. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the forecast. sandhya? >> let's take a look at live doppler 7. we are starting to see some changes in the form of extra high clouds, some fog. temperatures this afternoon in the low to mid 90s inland. so definitely hot. but along the coast in the low 60s. a live picture here, you can barely see the sun there with all the clouds stacked up. 57 in san francisco to 60 in oakland. 69 in san jose. and 74 in morgan hill. kgo roof camera showing you how the low and high clouds have advanced across the bay tonight. currently still warm in concord at 80 degrees. so if it was too hot for you today, i have some news for you.

the weekend is going to be even cooler than what we saw today. so temperatures began to come down today. that will continue tomorrow. saturday, even lower temperatures inland. low 60s to the upper 70s. could see a few sprinkles in the north bay. a chance lingers for just about everyone sunday morning with those temperatures in the low 60s to low 80s. look at this gorgeous shot. another equally stunning view from our east bay hills camera. much cooler tomorrow. sprinkles or a light shower, possible between saturday and sunday morning with a chance of showers becoming a better likelihood next week. in the morning, fog and clouds, 40s, 50s. decreasing clouds at noontime except near the coast. and sit a cooler afternoon, low 60s to low 80s. you can track the temperatures any time you want. tonight, a mix of fog and clouds going into tomorrow morning between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m. it is going to be pretty gray.

tomorrow night into saturday, we see an increase in the cloud cover. clouds thicken, leading up to the possibility of an isolated shower or two in the north bay. that will be the best spot. sunday morning, could see a few drops just about anywhere. mid forts to the mid 50s. jacket or sweater is a necessity. it is getting to that time of the year where it's cool. tomorrow afternoon, cloudy along the coast. inland areas, nice and mild, in the low 80s along the coastline. 60s will turn to 60s and 70s around the bay. a look at the seven-day forecast. noticeably cooler inland and around the bay, low 60s to low 80s. there is your possibility of sprinkles in the north bay. a chance lingers into sunday morning. early next week is when we'll see a better likelihood of showers in the bay area. it's going to be a second system that's coming in, linking up with what is now hurricane rosa.

but it will weaken and we'll see some of that tropical moisture linking up. computer models are still in disagreement. one wants to take it straight into southern california. the other one is trying to bring it to the coast. >> thanks, sandhya. not just political, it's personal, too. public testimony against brett kavanaugh brought one woman to tears. and the case is changing the conversation around consent, sex, and alcohol. next, we'll hear what the dialogue sounds like here in the bay area. if you need someone to talk to, go to abc7news.com/takeaction. we have organized a list of resources on topics like sexual abuse, domestic violence and mental health. you'll find websites with information and

you could generate yourat home.rgy, or to save energy, unplug unused appliances. do your thing, with energy upgrade california. live where you live, this is "abc7 news." i want you to look me in the eye. are dr. ford's allegations true? >> they are not accurate. >> that was one of the final questions answered today,

concluding almost nine hours of the senate judiciary committee hearing. tomorrow, that committee plans to vote on brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court. >> less than 24 hours after hearing from kavanaugh and the palo alto woman accusing him of sexual assault, christine blasey ford. emily is summing up today's testimony from washington, d.c. >> reporter: nine hours of testimony today. there were tears, there was yelling, and both brett kavanaugh and his accuser, christine blasey ford, absolutely certain of what they had to say. dr. christine blasey ford taking the oath and beginning the process she says she never wanted. >> i am here today not because i want to be. i am terrified. i am here because i believe it is my civic duty. >> reporter: detailing to the senate judiciary committee and america the alleged sex assault she experienced as a 15-year-old girl in the early 1980s at the hands of who she says was brett kavanaugh and his prep school classmate. >> what is the strongest memory

you have. >> the laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense. >> reporter: after her opening remarks, each senator getting five minutes to ask questions. all of the republican senators deferring their time to sex crimes prosecutor rachel mitchell. >> has anyone come forward to say to you, hey, remember, i was the one that drove you home? >> no. >> dr. ford, with what degree of certainty do you believe brett kavanaugh assaulted you? >> 100%. >> reporter: kavanaugh has strongly denied all allegations. >> i'm here today to tell the truth. i've never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not in college, not ever. >> you've got nothing to apologize for. this is the most unethical sham sense i've been in politics. >> reporter: near the end,

senator harris asking kavanaugh -- >> did you watch dr. ford's testimony? >> i did not. i planned to -- >> reporter: after nine hours, the hearing coming to a close, and president trump tweeting shortly thereafter, judge kavanaugh showed america exact ly why i nominated him. the political divisions are more apart as the day went on. the committee is still slated to vote on kavanaugh's confirmation tomorrow morning. the group that runs the national sexual assault hotline says it's been flooded with contacts today. they tweeted it's experiencing unprecedented wait times for online chats. they're encouraging everyone to call the hotline. or reach out via chat tomorrow. if you are in immediate danger, call 911.

earlier today on "abc7 news" at 4:00, democratic political strategist christine pelosi joined us and shared a similar personal experience. >> i've heard for victims for days and today my phone was blowing up. i had to turn my notifications off, but i wanted to be there for people. we were watching together and reflecting together on what this meant. this was very, very painful. millions of americans have these secrets. and because these are secrets, people so rarely come forward and talk about sexual assault, we don't have a public dialogue around it. we've got television shows and movies about criminal cases. but we don't really have a dialogue about it. it's when we started talking about alcoholism or other mental health and wellness issues. in the beginning, there was a lot of stigma, and people were almost angry at the person for talking about it. but we have to get better talking about this. >> a generation that believed

that "boys will be boys" has been trying to change the culture by no longer accepting that as an excuse. lyanne melendez explains what some are calling the new birds and bees. >> reporter: a symposium on sexual assault prevention was held at san francisco state today. colleges make reference to what is known as the red zone, the first months on campus when students are on their own. >> the most vulnerable are female freshman. >> reporter: all incoming freshman are required to take online sexual assault safety training during orientation at san francisco state. >> it's important they get the education around the rights, around how to party safe. and also where to get support. >> reporter: california is one of two states that requires consent to be part of sexual education in schools. maryland is the other. it starts in the ninth grade. >> we noose eused to talk about

means no, but yes means yes, so people should be looking for an affirmative consent. >> reporter: a conversation must be initiated by mom and pop. and the old adage boys will be boys should no longer be accepted in society. >> boys are responsible, and need to be respectful as girls need to be, too. so no, i think boys have a lot of responsibility in changing that mentality. >> reporter: peter is a parent of two college students. he says the kavanaugh hearings has shed light on the excessive drinking among young adults. >> i know it goes on, and my kids are no different than anybody else's kids. all i can do is you're going to pay the consequence it is you go down the wrong path. >> reporter: in san francisco, lyanne melendez, "abc7 news." >> we have devoted most of tonight's news cast to covering today's hearing. we have more coverage for you online. you can read over the statements made during the testimony. watch highlights and see brett kavanaugh explain some of the phrases that were written in his

yearbook. all of that on the "abc7 news" app, which you can download and customize so you can receive alerts when news on this story breaks. as he hinted yesterday, president trump today postponed his meeting with rod rosenstein to avoid interfering with the judiciary committee hearing. the meeting is now planned for next week. rosenstein's job is in question following reports he discussed possibly secretly recording the president and using the constitution's 25th amendment to remove him. he's denied the reports. coming up on "abc7 news" at 6:00, free health for daca candidates trying to stay in the u.s. who in the bay area is helping out these undocumented immigrants living in legal limbo. next, a helicopter that started a fire i

new at 6:00, a firebreaks out in a san jose office for a robot delivery service. firefighters say it looked like some lithium batteries sparked the fire at starship technologies. most of the damage is from water from the sprinkler system. this is what the robots look like in action. they've been used in redwood city and tested for a short time in san francisco.

two small brush fires broke out in the north bay after a helicopter clipped power lines. that helicopter crew was working for pg&e. >> reporter: this is one of the two burn areas that cal fire crews encountered when they got here just before 1:00. >> we found coming in that we hadcolumncolumn >> reporter: and this helicopter may be what sparked it. it was under contract to pg&e to patrol power lines, and apparently got so close it clipped them. >> there are a lot of cases where helicopters need to fly know to get near the kept to inspect the lines. >> reporter: the helicopter managed to land safelyf the thrn hurt and managed to leave a short time later. >> we're going to look at what happened with the helicopter and the lines. >> reporter: these small fires were quickly contained but

reminded some that it was just small the tubs fire tore through parts of tapa county. the firefighters sure haven't forgotten. >> we try to be as agres sich a possible, but it's going to be in the back of our minds. >> reporter: at the height of this, 8300 pg&e customers were without power. eric thomas, "abc7 news." coming up next, sandhya explains how much of a cooldown to expect by the weekend. the nature of a virus is to change. move. mutate. today, life-changing technology from abbott is helping hunt them down at their source. because the faster we can identify new viruses, the faster we can get to stopping them. the most personal technology, is technology with the power to change your life.

life. to the fullest.

18 people are being treated after pepper spray was discharged inside a walgreen's in vallejo around 4:00. this is the store on springs road. it's unclear why or how the pepper spray was released. we reached out to police for more information. environmental health crews are also at the store for any decontamination that may need to be done. the daca program that allows protection for undocumented youth have been in limbo since last year when president trump announced phasing it out.

>> it allows recipients to continue renews their applications. carlos shows the uncertain some still face as they go through the process. >> reporter: daca has protected around 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. as kids from deportation. this is one of them. >> i think i found out i was undocumented around my junior or senior year of high school. i realized it was going to be tough because i couldn't apply to colleges because i didn't have a social security number. >> reporter: in 2013, she applied for daca protection to stay in the country free of fear of being deported. recipients must renew every two years to stay current. but the $500 application fee can add up. >> i don't make a lot. i work paycheck to paycheck. so this is going to help a lot. >> reporter: today, dozens of beneficiaries are getting help from this legal team in san francisco. >> we're providing this legal service free of cost to them and

helping them navigate the application forms. >> reporter: only current recipients can reapply, daca has been in jeopardy since the trump administration announced it was rescinding the program last year. >> the problem with daca is it's never been written into law. it came through by a presidential action by president obama. >> reporter: while the courts determine the legality of daca, those caught in the middle are waiting for a permanent fix. >> i got a little scared. kind of just not knowing what the future is going to be like. >> reporter: all they can do is continue reapplying. >> all right. sandhya is back with a check on the weather. >> take a look at live doppler 7 hd right now. we have plenty of cloud cover at this moment. we may be seeing some raindrops as we head towards the weekend. cloudy tomorrow afternoon near the coast. inland areas, sunshine. the temperatures are going to drop 10 to 15 degrees inland.

so you'll notice it tomorrow. low 60s right near the coast, and then tracking hurricane rosa, a major category 3 hurricane off the coast of mexico. it's expected to intensify to a 4 tomorrow afternoon and starts to weaken on saturday. it will send swells towards southern california. and then when it falls apart, it may link up with a system coming from the northwest. here in the bay area, there's a chance of showers next week. so take a look at this computer model. it wants to bring in the possibility between monday afternoon and evening, going into early tuesday morning. but right now it's just a chance. we'll keep you posted. certainly potential for rainfall is there, and if you buy this computer model, it is showing a few hundredths of a rain. seven-day forecast, cooler tomorrow bay and inland. sprinkles possible in the north bay saturday with a few drops

possible sunday morning. and then we bring in that second system. the bottom line, look how much cooler than normal it's going to be, only in the upper 70s next week. ama and larry? >> thanks, sandhya. warriors just had media day on monday. >> an event they're already tired of talking to the media. the warriors play their first preseason game on saturday. within or lose, why kevin durant will have a reason to celebrate. sports is next.

now sports from "abc7 news." >> the warriors will tip off the preseason saturday at home against minnesota. it's also kevin durant's birthday. he's turning 30. yeah, that's young, but in basketball, some believe that's when the body slows down. he's entering his 12th season in the nba. only four players on the roster holder than him. he said he remembers being the young kid on the court. >> once you hit 30 in the nba, you feel like you're getting older. i try not to think about the nba side of things and look at how my body feels. when you walk into the locker room, you've got guys who are jacob, born in '97. you know? and it's like, man, i was a young guy in the locker room for a long time. so it's come full circle. it's cool actually, but it's also pretty weird.

>> far from getting old, he's just hitting his trim. eric ride is back in the nfl. the former 49ers safety has signed one-year contract with the panthers. he joined colin kaepernick in kneeling for the national anthem. he's part of a lawsuit, and the 49ers said they made a one-year offer to reed earlier this week before he signed with the panthers. >> i'm happy for him to get a chance, see the carolina team. i'm sure they're excited to have him. he's a good players, always has been. but i always knew he would get signed. he's a good player. a lot worse players getting signed these days. so they're going to have a hard time explaining that. the a's were doing a little scoreboard watching earlier today as they try to chase down the yanks for that top wild card

spot. oakland had a day off before wrapping up the regular season this weekend at the angels. the yankees taking on the rays. cc sabathia needing seven innings to get a $500,000 bonus. top of the 6th, yeah, a little bad blood here, because a batter is hit. then sabathia hits he gets tossed two innings shy of his bonus. let's look at the standings. new york up two games on the a's with three to play. luckily for oakland, the yankees close out the regular season against the top team in baseball, the red sox. the first wild card spot gets homefield advantage for that one-game game on wednesday night. the ryder cup begins tonight at midnight. the top players from the united states tee it up against the best from europe. phil mickelson had a holeout

eagle in today's practice round. tiger woods is come off his first victory since 2013 and hopes to make a difference for a u.s. team that's had a little trouble winning the cup on the road. >> it feels great to be part of this team. this is a pretty young team, but also a team that has played quite a few ryder cups and president cups, as well. we haven't won as a u.s. squad here in 25 years on hawthorne soil. hopefully that will change this week, as well. >> tiger is paired with patrick reed. phil mickelson is not playing in the opening four-ball session. and thursday night football, the rams lead the vikings 28-17. so looks like we're in for a wild second half. people always complain that thursday night football games are not so good. this is high scoring. >> just so i get it straight, cc

sabathia gave up $500,000 to enforce the unwritten rules of baseball, if you plunk my guy, i'm hitting your guy. >> that's what he says. i'm wondering if he knew about that. something tells me the locker room guys might cover that bonus. >> thank you, anthony. joining us at 9:00 and right here for "abc7 news" at 11:00. the hearing is over. now it's up to swing vote senators to determine what happens next. and we're already seeing some early clues. >> and then on "abc7 news" at 11:00, plans to improve security and safety on b.a.r.t. riders have a packed meeting, getting ready to sound off as we speak. coming up at 8:00, a two-hour season of "gray's anatomy" and stay with us for "abc7 news" at 11:00. >> that's going to do it for this edition of "abc7 news." i'm larry beil. >> i'm ama daetz. for all offis here at
