happening today - the official kickoff - to a controversial first responder drill-program .. that )s ending its current form after this year. the alameda county sheriff )s office is hosting its last "urban shield" .. through sunday. the program began in 2007 .. in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. but it recieved critical backlash from people who say it militarizes local law enforcement. in march supervisors voted to end urban shield in its current format. the long term future of the program is still up in the air, and will be decided by a newly- created committee. state investigators say staff at two assisted living facilities in santa rosa left their residents behind instead of evacuating them as the deadly

tubbs fire approached. the california department of social services is giving "oakmont senior living" legal notice -- the state plans to revoke the licenses of "varenna" and "villa capris". the state says staff at villa capris abandoned 20 elderly clients ... who would have died if family members had not arrived to help evacuate them. at varenna- the state says staff left family members in charge. family members of people who are still living at varenna are now worried about their future. a meeting is scheduled for today to let them know what )s going on.

.. which made its debut during the telecast. today in the bay )s kira klapper joins us now with reaction. it was a powerful message from colin kaepernick as we know -- he has been thrust back into the spotlight this week. we still haven )t heard from kap himself -- but he was spotted yesterday. . this is video of colin kaepernick just outside of portland, oregon -- at nike headquters. he spoke to nike employees, thanking the company for their support and for making him the face of their new "just do it" campaign. local experts we spoke with -- say nike certaintly did its homework when choosing kap. kaepernick is currently in litigation against the nfl ... claiming team owners colluded to keep him out of the league. there has been some tangible backlash from the new nike campaign. the college of the ozarks ... a small christian college in

missouri... will no longer wear athletic apparel manufactured by nike. the school )s president says kaepernick was quote -- "promoting an attitude of division and disrespect toward america." by the way ... it didn )t appear that players from either the eagles nor falcons protested the national anthem last night. there was plenty of reaction to the commerical on social media as well ... the president chiming in this morning "what was nike thinking?" eyesore .. no more: a live look at the bay bridge. and the last pieces of span from the (old ( bridge .. are coming down tomorrow. caltrans will implode the two remaining foundations from the original eastern span. it also means rolling closures on interstate-80. those may last up to a half hour

mike traffic tease visitors to san francisco )s presidio have a new, greener option .. when it comes to getting around: uber-owned "jump" is now offering electric bikes for rent. the presidio will be the first national park in the west to roll out e-bikes .. and hopes to start offering electric scooters in the near future. due to a legal loophole - "jump" is only allowed to operate 250 bikes within san francisco. but the city )s transportation code does not appy in the presidio. some good news tonight about a vandalized vietnam memorial in

the south bay. long term repairs are now in the works. the san jose parks foundation received some of the money to restore it in donations... and now google is covering the rest. about two weeks ago, a vandal used either paint or a marker to deface the "sons of san jose" vietnam-war memorial. it honors 142 soldiers from the south bay .. who died in that war. many undocumented families are still waiting to be reunited. we have new information this morning on the numbers of children still seperated from their parents at the u-s-mexico border. those numbers are just into our newsroom. 497 of the nearly 27-hundred kids are still in custody. the parents of 322 of those children have already been deported. and the trump administration claims the parents of 167 of those still-separated children .. gave up their opportunity to reunite. two of the biggest races in the state this november .. are starting to tighten. here )s a look at a new poll jut released by "probolsky

research." lieutenant governor gavin newsom leads republican businessman john cox 44 percent to 39 percent. 17 percent now say they are undecided. senator dianne feinstein leads progressive challenger kevin de leo"n 37 percent to 29. with 34 percent undecided. the white house.. and the media.. are obsessed with figuring out who wrote that "new york times" op/ed. scott mcgrew.. a long list of denials. pence pompeo coats nielsen mattis mulvaney carson mnuchin ..just a few of the people who said it wasn )t me. none of thoe people will admit to writing the op/ed that questioned whether the president was competant.. and revealed his white house staff was actively working to undermine some of his more irrational orders. donald trump was in montana last night.. at a rather subdued rally by trump standards. he addressed the new york times issue.. calling the author a coward.. and saying.. he feels perfectly competant.

the president also said he would not shut down the government at the end of the month.. in order to get his wall. part of the danger of trying to figure out who wrote the op/ed is we then dont ) take tie to consider how serious the charges in the op/ed are. a senior white house official says the cabinet has at least considered the president is not fit to lead.. and his staff is undermining him to protect the country. the other problem with asking officials if they wrote it.. is of course they )re going to deny it. remember mark felt.. the deputy director of the fbi.. who denied over and over and over he was deep-throat. we now know felt was deep throat. we )ll start the fourth day of hearings for brett kavanaugh are underway this morning. yesterday )s hearing took an odd twist after new jersey

senator corey booker and hawaii senator mazie hirano released emails sent to and from kavanaugh while he worked in the bush white house. emails that the white house and the republican committee chairman said had to remain confidential. booker was warned he could be punished.. to which he said "bring it". the emails did not contain anything shocking.. but did show kavanaugh at one time thought roe-vs-wade could be overturned. something he said under oath during the hearings.. was settled law. we )re streaming the kavanaugh hearings right now.. live on nbc bay area dot com. this weekend marks a special milestone for nbc bay area. our )bay area proud ) series ht the 500-story mark. we )re running a special tomorrw night at 6:30. garvin thomas, raj mathai, and janelle wang will share many
