russia. a guilty plea by a campaign adviser is raising questions about where the investigation is headed next. tracie potts is live in washington checking the fallout. could be a big day there. >> reporter: well, another big day. we saw the indictment yesterday along with this surprise guilty plea from someone a lot of people didn't know, a low level staffer working with the government. former trump campaign chair, paul manafort and his business associate, rick gates face a dozen charges. the indictment alleged they hit $175 million in offshore accounts for a russian backed ukrainian leader. >> there is no evidence mr. man fort or the trump campaign colluded with the russian government. >> reporter: this could be the link they are looking for.

george papadopoulos admits lying to the fbi about his russian contacts during the campaign. >> they had him out there playing dialer crook, calling people with wiretap phones. i'll bet anything, they have an array of tapes. >> reporter: the white house insists papadopoulos's role was limbed. >> a volunteer position. again, no activity was ever done in official capacity. >> reporter: on capitol hill, democrats pointed fingers and republicans said little. >> it's not a hard job. >> reporter: some believe the seemingly unrelated gates/manafort charges could link to russia. >> they are looking at decades in prison. there's an incentive to them to come to prosecutors and say we would like to cooperate. >> reporter: why aren't crooked hillary and the dems the focus? as you saw there, he insists no collusion. now, there could be a new

possible connection. law enforcement officials tell us paul manafort forwarded an e-mail from the low level policy adviser suggesting manafort, when he was at the top of the campaign may have known about that adviser's russia connections. >> so interesting. thank you. new this morning, terrifying moments at a wall green. police are looking at an armed robber who took off with opioids. thom jensen is live with what we know about the investigation. this comes at a time when the nation is dealing with the opioid crisis. >> reporter: you are right. this is a national epidemic. less than a week ago, five days ago, you know the president declared opioid abuse a national health emergency. this is the second case like this, in fact, in the last month. you remember just in september, in danville, there was another robbery like this where we had a

surveillance picture. in this case, the thief, just over the pharmacy counter at 10:40 and threatened the pharmacist with a gun before stealing opioid based drugs, the most popular. the thief ran to the store where we are and took off on foot. that was the last they have seen of the suspect. the number of deaths every year from opioid overdose is nearly 2000. the last full year of data from 2015 and there were 1966 deaths that year. that means on average, five or more people died from opioid overdoses in the state every year. that said, the state's rate of prescribing the drugs, a key indicator of abuse. that shows california is doing better than most states in that respect, somewhere between 50-70

prescriptions per 100 people every year. this robbery last night, we hope to get another picture from surveillance like we got in the danville robbery last month, hoping to get that from the contra costa sheriff's department later this morning. live in walnut creek, thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> it is 5:06 right now. developing now, san jose police are asking robbery victims to come forward. newly released video shows a man walking up to a woman and rips off her jewelry from around her neck. 21-year-old lawrence carter has been arrested. the victim's son says he's relieved carter only robbed her mother. >> my mom was trying to, you know, push back and grab the chain back. lucky she didn't get hurt. >> the suspect robbed at least

california association of realtors. home sales were down from august through september. across the region, home sales fell 14%. year over year, sales declined 4%. home sales across the state were slightly higher than the same time one year ago. perhaps a sliver of misery from houston's painful summer may be washed away by one more win in baseball classic. >> the houston astros could win if they can win game six against the los angeles dodgers. the astros are up three games to two after game five. many calling that an instant classic. a 12-11 extra inning walk-off win. houston fans are still recovering from hurricane harvey. definitely tonight is going to be one that a lot of fans are going to be watching. some hoping for a victory for houston, others not.

>> the money that's currently being taxed, again, we are the highest taxes in the nation on gasoline. why is that money not being spent on road repairs? >> reporter: if you are thinking, i'm good because i drive a zero emission car, you might not pay at the pump, but you will pay a new $100 vehicle registration fee in 2020. tomorrow is november 1st. it is the first day that gas stations can start transitioning to the cheaper, winter blend. you may not feel the full impact of the 20 cent a gallon tax right away because we are making that switch. but, you are probably going to notice it as you stand and watch the ticker go up and up. san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> we know it all too well. >> going to be lines to get gas today. thank you very much. people are out the door, it seems like early this morning. >> probably see folks early in the commute this afternoon and

documents in the papadopoulos plea deal is the russians told him they had the democrats e-mails hacked on april 29th. the trump campaign knew about the e-mails months before their candidate said this. >> it would be interesting to see, i will tell you this, russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. >> the other thing to think about is documents say papadopoulos has been cooperating with the fbi since his arrest in july. we don't know what cooperation means, specifically. people in washington are checking their calendars to see if they talked to papadopoulos after he became an fbi asset. we are watching the president's twitter feed this morning. you can watch our twitter feed and be contacted on twitter.
