custody for the pursuit, not his murder. happening today in san jose, a murder case of a beloved south bay woman goes back to court. you might remember miss flow, as known by her neighbors was beaten to death during home robbery. the 88-year-old was a pillar of her east san jose community. two men, including the 19-year-old neighbor face murder charges. the other three suspects were arrested in connection with the crime. this time, all five suspects are expected to enter pleas. 6:06. the the coast guard may resume searching for a man who went missing in ocean beach. the search started yesterday afternoon after the fire department says they received a report of a man needing help. right now, 6:06. we wake up to some wet roads and looking at how much rain we had in the east bay and berkeley, you had a little under .10 inch of rain there. antioch, a little more than .10

advantage of by russians. silicon valley has long been able to avoid this regulation. you can make the argument, it's the reason silicon valley has been so successful, the government stayed out of the way. this controversy could be the thing that opens up the door to far more oversight from washington. executives know that. sheryl sandburg went to washington to lobby for facebook and publicly said she wants the senate intelligence committee to release those ads they are investigating so the public can see them. the intelligence committee says it's fine if facebook releases the ads. here are the senators in charge. >> clearly, if any of the social media platforms would like to do that, we are fine with them doing it because we have already got scheduled an open hearing because we believe the american people deserve to hear firsthand. >> the american people do deserve to hear firsthand.

it became a you release them, no, you release them. we believe they are going to be released november 1st. facebook and google will face questioning about what their involvement was with russian ads. we should find out more. >> we are dying to hear it. >> we deserve to hear it. >> absolutely. this morning, the world series is almost set. baseball fans in southern california are still celebrating this morning. >> i knew we were going to do it. it's been a long time. >> they are celebrating. dodgers fans took to the streets in los angeles in celebration. the game was in chicago. the dodgers won the national league pennant in an 11-1 rout for the cubs. l.a. will play either the yankees or astros. >> how about a celebrating -- our assignment director loves

first and foremost, tough be a resident. they have to have an entry pass. to get that entry pass, you need to provide a drivers license, state id, passport or utility bill with a valid photo id. i want to point out school ids will not be accepted. tomorrow, the mobile home parks are released back to property owners. sunday, coffey park is open to the public. you can expect a very emotional day as you look at the video of coffey park. a lot of homes lost in the fires in the north bay. i talked to a church in front of me. they have been providing relief for residents. they can expect residents to arrive shortly. they will be able to enter roughly around 10:00 a.m. expect an emotional time as they return to homes they don't recognize z. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks, pete. new this morning, the u.s.

this morning. >> scott mcgrew, the white house managed to take high ground on the controversy over condolence phone calls. >> then threw it away. thursday, john kelly, who lost his own son in the iraq war, told americans, all americans, stop politicizing gold star families. >> if you are not in the family, if you have never worn the uniform, if you have never been in combat, you can't even imagine how to make that call. i think he bravely does make those calls. >> it was an emotional speech. ift was just what the white house needed to put this whole condolence call issue behind it. but, late last night, the president tweeted, the fake news is going crazy with wacky congresswoman wilson, "d," who is secretly on a very personal call and gave a total lion content. he's talking about fredricka wilson. the president may not have known

she was on the call, but the johnson family certainly did. the florida congresswoman was in the car with the family as they drove to pick up sergeant johnson's body when the call came and the family put it on speakerphone. there is a point to be made these calls are personal and should not be listened to on either side and speaker kelly tried to put an end to it before the president's newest tweet. in the news of actual business of government, the senate passed the framework for a budget. this is one step closer to the promised tax cut. we don't know the full details of the promised tax cuts. we examine the president's tweets and speeches and the orders every morning on "today in the bay." we are fascinated by your feedback you can give it to me on facebook and twitter. the first snow in the
