the children. >> the diocese of san jose launched its own investigation. they'll report the names of accused priests who have credible accusations. as far as today's presser and protest it's set for today around 11:00 a.m. >> to a developing story in the north bay. police asking for help. finding a hit-and-run driver who killed a man. calls came in about a car that struck and hit a man in the street and then drove off. they are looking for possible surveillance video to track down that driver. the car is a white, compact sedan. >> happening today, cal trans

committee members. >> reporter: hundreds of women support kavanaugh but at least two republicans and others want to hear from his accuser before they vote. >> there is this arbitrary deadline of the end of september which frankly doesn't relate to anything in particular. why not slow down? >> reporter: ford tells the post she decided to come forward now because parts of her story had already leaked out. and new this morning her attorney says she's willing to come to capitol hill to testify. white house adviser kellyanne conway is adding that they think at the white house she should be heard and should have a chance to tell the story. back to you. >> thank you. it's 5:33. people in the carolina are still facing dangerous conditions. florence is now a tropical depression. it's dumped almost two and a half feet of rain in some
