after a historic, but controve president trump is on his way home from paris after an historic but controversial day. the president attended ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i but the event was overshadowed by tensions with another world leader. nbc's kristen welker reports from paris. >> reporter: it has been a solemn and historic day here in paris. it started with nearly 80 world leaders, including president trump, gathered to mark the 100th anniversary to the end of world war i. president macron of france delivered remarks in which he seemed to rebuke president trump's nationalism. >> translator: because patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. >> reporter: president trump sat solemnly as he listened to those, and then all of those leaders went to a luncheon. now, president trump did have a brief interaction with russia's president vladimir putin, who

was also in attendance, and then president trump capped the day by delivering remarks at a cemetery where u.s. soldiers are buried. he aimed to strike a note of unity. >> to all the french military leaders and dignitaries in attendance with us now, thank you for joining us as we honor the american and french service members who shed their blood together in a horrible, horrible war, but a war known as the great war. >> reporter: president trump heading home and he's facing challenges there as well. of course, the democrats recently took over the house of representatives and the russia investigation is mounting. all capping a very momentous weekend here in france. traveling with the president in paris, kristen welker, nbc news. in berkeley this afternoon, bay area leaders kicked off a week dedicated to fighting hate. bay area united against hate began with a concert and rally. the goal of the week is to bring attention to hate crimes and to

find ways to prevent them. the program involves several local cities. emeryville's mayor joined the demonstration today. >> we've seen a spike in crimes against people of color, people who are muslim and jewish, gay members of the community, transgender members of the community. this can't be normalized. this needs to be something we take an active approach to dealing with. >> the rest of the week's events include film screenings, poetry readings and bystander training. the training plans to give people ideas about standing up to hate and violence they see in person and online. we want to get back to our fire coverage right now. raiders fans had to deal with smokey skies during today's games at the oakland coliseum against the l.a. chargers. one fan, there he is, he added to his mask. raiders logo right over the front. we don't know if that helped, you know, filter out the smoke but it looked pretty cool. fans we spoke to said they were obviously aware of the air quality but determined it was not bad enough for them to actually miss the game.

they went to the game and wore their masks, some of them did. >> we know that about rabid sports fans. it takes a little more than smoke to keep them -- >> "monday night football," 49ers tomorrow night. >> questions about the air quality there. >> when you saw how the sunset was and the moon set tonight. this is a view of the smoke filter. all that smoke we've been breathing making for some interesting skies. the view from emeryville of a red crescent moon setting over san francisco. that was around 8:00 tonight. that was the view looking through the smoke. right now a combination of a little bit of smoke and fog at 59 degrees in san francisco. a high in the upper 60s. tonight, those valley temperatures cooling quite a bit. we'll see 30s and 40s to wake up to tomorrow morning. north bay could see patchy frost with smokey fog early. smog or smokey fog, call it what you will. air quality not so good for the morning. as we head for the afternoon, temperatures mainly in the upper 60s to low 70s. some of the smoke may keep our

temperatures a little cooler than you expect. close to 71 in san jose. tri-valley, 68 degrees. oakland, close to 70 in fremont. and san francisco looking at highs in the mid-60s tomorrow. north bay temperatures, upper 60s, may be close to 70 around novato. the air quality is the issue here. motive we don't have a red flag warning for the local hilltops around the bay area. but wind direction here is still offshore. all of that smoke from the camp fire continues to drift in through the northeast throughout the day. you can see how those wind arrows still pointing offshore throughout the day. we need the return of a sea breeze to get the smoke out of here. with the winds as they are setting up for the next 24 hours, this is how the air quality forecast sets up for monday. you can see all the smoke for the morning. noon and afternoon, nothing but bad news here. you can see how that unhealthy levels of smoke really fill in once again across the bay area, even into the evening. no real change there in the forecast. if you have children, schools,

anything that has outdoor plans or the elderly or those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, you really want to stay indoors again tomorrow. monday, unhealthy across the board and it looks like we have another spare the air day tomorrow. and the bay area air quality management district showing that these conditions might be lasting through about tuesday and wednesday. so here is a look at the seven-day forecast. i want to show you san francisco temperatures, not changing a whole lot until we get to about sunday. notice what happens there. we start to see some cooling inland. should see a little bit of an improvement in the air quality for the second half of the week as this high starts to get out of here. we'll see winds turning maybe slightly more onshore. if you're looking for better air quality late week heading into next weekend, starting to look better. even better than that, look at what's coming here. >> oh, rain. >> possibility sunday into monday, a chance of showers as we're hopeful this ten-day partner will lead you with this.

getting out to the 19th to the 2st right before thanksgiving. starting to bring at least a hope of some rainfall. so seven-day forecast doesn't look good for air quality, but let's hope this time next weekend we'll get a chance of rain making a comeback. >> finally. thanks, rob. well, the north coast is one of the most scenic areas in the world and residents up there in the state of california have battled to protect it. but as nbc bay area's joe rosato jr. shows us, the two sides are now foes in a battle over an historic bridge. >> reporter: the small coastal hamlet sits a three-hour drive north from san francisco. yet it might as well be another world. >> there is no local city council. there is no local police force. no parking meters. >> reporter: this quiet stretch along highway 1 is where peter wells and others moved to escape concrete cities. >> here in the woods, in the meadows, you find yourself. >> reporter: the symbol of this

enclave, a bridge as eclectic as the area's residents. albion river bridge built during world war ii but because of a shortage of concrete and steel, it was made of wood. >> it's the only remaining trestle bridge about highway 1. >> reporter: nearly 40 years ago, built this inn to take in the bridge's pastrnicturesque v. even though albion bridge is on the national historic register, its future is up in the air. cal trans says the wooden beams are deteriorating, leaching arsenic and chromium into the ground and the platform is rotting. the agency says maintain nent is $500,000 a year. >> this bridge does not meet current seismic standards in the design seismic event. although the bridge may not collapse, it may be so damaged it would have to be closed. these are patched up over here. >> reporter: cal trans engineers estimate the bridge, which carries about 3,200 cars a day,

has ten years left. the project manager says it would cost $24 million to rehabilitate the current bridge or $60 million to include a new one with dead -- dedicated pedestrian laneses. as cal trans begins removing trees to conduct tests on the feasibility of building a new bridge, residents have formed a group called albion spring stewards, waging a battle to save the structure. >> this bridge is as much of an icon for albion as the golden gate bridge is for san francisco. losing it would be like losing a member of the family. >> reporter: the battle over the bridge has in a sense become a fight for the soul of albion. >> it is a gorgeous bridge and it fits into this environment. we're trying to protect this environment. >> reporter: wells says the upcoming geotechnical tests and the potential building of a new bridge would damage his business and the area's character.

>> it's ridiculous. it's sacrilegious to destroy that bridge. >> reporter: as the process moves from highway 1 and into courtrooms, residents have hunkered down for a long battle they say isn't just about a bridge but a way of life. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. and still ahead on this special edition of nbc bay area news, moving north any way they can. the new video we're seeing out of mexico. the migrant caravan continues to push ahead. we're back in go minutes. of lass of lass

repeated and prejudicial comments against the accusation. someone who has made false statements about it. >> there is actually no evidence to me that mr. whitaker knows anything about the ongoing mueller investigation. >> republicans may have lost the house but they gained more power in the senate, so far netting two more seats with arizona still too close to call and florida now in a recount. we have new video to show you tonight of some of the central american migrants traveling through mexico towards the u.s. border. the caravan is pushing north any way it can. sometimes that means jumping on to trucks, riding on flatbed trailers. the migrants appear to be on a path to tijuana across the border from san diego. mexico has offered refuge, asylum or work visa to the group and some have accepted but most are vowing to continue to the u.s. despite warnings about what they could face when they get to the border. still ahead on this special edition of nbc bay area news, continuing coverage of our top story, the wildfires terrorizing

much of california. >> coming up in our next half hour, how people in the bay area are lending a hand, including a group of east bay high school students. plus -- if you're a kid, just one day in secured detention can be devastating. so why are kids being locked up when counties' own assessments say they could be released? we investigate, next.

welcome back to this special edition of nbc bay area news. due to "sunday night football," i'm terry mcsweeney. >> i'm vicky nguyen. here are the top stories we're following tonight. the camp fire burning in butte county could become the deadliest fire in california history. tonight the death toll stands at 29. that is the most people killed in a california fire since 1933. more than 111,000 acres have burned but the flames just 25% contained. a red flag warning is in effect for the fire zone and the winds will continue to make it

difficult for firefighters. >> winds also expected to be a factor tonight down in southern california where crews continue to battle the woolsey fire. that fire has burned more than 83,000 acres. it is only 10% contained. the winds coming back tonight. the entire city of calabasas is under a mandatory evacuation order. so about 25,000 people added to the mandatory order. two people have been killed in the woolsey fire. so many lives impacted by these wildfires as we see in many of these cases, hundreds of animals are also getting lost in the chaos and destruction. a bay area animal shelter stepped up today to help the pets in butte county. nbc bay area's christie smith reports. >> so you're going to need different sizes of the leashes and the harnesses. >> reporter: wendy taylor is looking over donations that came in today for the butte humane society. >> we're taking supplies up from our clinic and needing donations of normal everyday items for pets, leashes, collars. >> reporter: as the devastation

from the camp fire grows, there are also animals needing support. >> people who have, evacuated from their homes that are needing to leave their animals, their pets at a shelter, some are animals that have, found that they're trying to find and connect with the owners. >> reporter: this animal rescue foundation posted on social media they were accepting donations for six hours today that will be taken to butte county tomorrow. and supplies showed up. >> let me take -- >> reporter: students from college park high school's animal rescue club didn't see the post but dropped off donations they collected in time. >> honestly, it just makes you feel really good. it's heart warming. >> reporter: as people look for new pets today, more donations came in. with so many recent fires in northern california, animal agencies have a coordinated response. >> the unfortunate silver lining is we have gotten so used to doing this that we're starting to get some of those communication efforts really down statewide. >> reporter: as for future efforts with the camp fire, they

suggest people keep an eye on social media. >> we will notify people through our social media and facebook, twitter, our website if we need continuing donations. >> reporter: in walnut creek, christie smith, nbc bay area news. we'll continue to provide updates on the fires, both on air and online. go to nbcbayarea.com or check out our facebook and twitter feeds. well, it can be a scary scenario for a teen. make a mistake and end up in juvenile hall. many counties developed a tool to determine which kids really need to go to juve and which are better off at home. some counties are not using it as intended. investigative reporter liz wagner looks into why. >> reporter: when a kid is arrested, probation officers in boast bay area counties fill out one of these, a detention risk assessment. the score evaluates whether a juvenile poses a threat to the community and should be held before trial. well, we dug through data and found even when kids are scoring

low enough to be released, they're often being detained anyway. >> any chance i get, i would tell somebody about my experience. >> reporter: tyler's journey to juvenile hall started on a muni bus in san francisco. she says she came to the defense of a friend who became hysterical when a security guard started recording her. >> i slapped the phone out of her hand and she turned around and pushed me and then i pushed her back. then we started fighting. >> reporter: a few days later, police arrested her at school. tyler, just 14, says she was locked up by the probation department for a week while her assault case was in court. >> i thought i was dreaming. i couldn't believe that i was in jail. >> reporter: a lot of kids who get arrested maybe maybe it to juve. they're diverted to community programs instead. in fact, in san francisco and across the bay area, the number of kids being locked up is going down. other kids not eligible for community programs are given detention risk assessments, objective evaluations of whether it's safer to let them go or

hold them before a judge hears their case. we don't know tyler's score because her court records are sealed, but in san francisco we found when kids score low enough to be released most get locked up anyway. it's called a detention override. but juvenile probation chief alan says his department hasn't been tracking that. >> do you know what the override rate is? >> well, that's something that we've not looked at consistently. >> reporter: but we looked and calculated from 2012 to 2017 the department's override rate was 83%. sometimes policies mandate detention, even when a score indicates release, like when a juvenile is accused of a serious felony. but even when you take those kids out of the equation, we found san francisco still puts 65% of minors with low scores into juve. reasons might include their parents can't be located or it's not safe at home. >> some of the data that we've pulled together for your agency

suggests that there are a sizeable number of overrides but it's not data that we've done a deep analysis of and it's certainly something based on your inquiry is something that we want to look at. >> reporter: chief nance says he's focused on decreasing the juve population. he says it's down 2/3 in the past ten years. >> the reduction in that number has been an indication to us that that process has been working. >> reporter: san francisco isn't the only bay area county that uses risk assessments to guide whether kids should be detained or released. four others do, too. we looked at data from the past year and a half and found three of those counties have discretionary override rates higher than 60%. sonoma and alameda counties disagree with our methodology and believe their numbers are much clear. santa clara agrees their override rate is higher than best practices and says it's reviewing its detention risk assessment. >> i think you want to aim for

10 to 15% override rate. >> reporter: angela is a juvenile justice reform researcher. she says spending just one day in a locked cell can impact a kid for life. she says assessment should help regulate who comes into zwrujuve hall and who stays out but they don't always work. >> it seems like the risk assessment becomes useless. i believe if the risk assessment is constructed at the level that we would want to see, very, very few kids would be held in detention. >> our ultimate goal is not to keep a youth unless they present a threat to the county. >> reporter: chris hanson rarely uses overrides. since 2017, his department has detained just two kids who scored low enough to be released. >> if you use the tool the way it's designed, you shouldn't have a lot of overrides, to detain kids unnecessarily, i think it just sets them up. >> reporter: after juvenile hall, tyler says the court sent her to live at a group home for six months. she's now 17 and says she's

enrolling in city college and staying far away from trouble. >> i'm not going to let juvenile hall hold me back and i want to show my nephews and nieces that it's possible to be successful. >> reporter: experts say probation chiefs should be monitoring their overrides and tweaking their risk assessments to make sure they're not holding kids who aren't dangerous. now, the san francisco public defender's office tells us they'll start demanding to see their juvenile clients' scores. we were surprised to learn they didn't already get them. if you want to see what the county's assessment evaluations actually look like, we've linked to them on our website, nbcbayarea.com/investigations. back to you. >> if you have a story for liz, me or anyone in our investigative unit, give us a call at 1-888-996-tips. the raiders at home taking on the chargers and 49ers, gearing up for tomorrow's big "monday night football" games.

hi, everybody. dave feldman here at the xfinity sports desk. jon gruden's return to the silver and black certainly has not gone according to plan, but with a win against the rival chargers today, at least there could be some positive momentum entering the second half of the season for the raiders. unfortunately, it was more of the same for the silver and black. that just seems to be the case. late second quarter. game tied at 3-3. philip rivers finds keenan allen for the score. the chargers take the lead. now in the third. rivers is going to dump it off to melvin gordon. and gordon, oh, one miss. there's another miss. there is a guy from behind doesn't get to him.

to stop them from happening? that is more than a dream of two south bay teenagers. it's something they've been working on for years. garvin thomas has their story in tonight's "bay area proud". >> reporter: the "bay area proud" series, we've covered a number of young people over the years using their considerable intelligence to try to solve some of the world's toughest problems. rarely, though, have we seen someone or two someones working on a problem that hits so close to home. faced with something as powerful as an out of control wildfire, it is easy to feel powerless to do anything about it. >> we used to have to grade -- >> reporter: but not, it turns out, if you're a monta vista high school seniors. no relation to each other, by the way. they are two students with a passion for engineering and a desire to do good. >> ba why don't we have a

proactive measure that can prevent this destruction from happening? >> reporter: the answer to that question is what aditia is carrying in his hands right now. for the past 2 1/2 years, these two have been working on a smart wildfire sensor. the idea, very simply put, is to use photography to determine just how much fuel for a wildfire like dried fwrgrass or dead trees there is in a certain location and combine it with real-time weather data such as wind, temperature and humidity to pinpoint where a wildfire is most likely to happen. >> we thought, why not use the technology we have in our generation in order to solve something that terrifies people so frequently. >> reporter: the prototype that aditia and sinjana have been working on in this cupertino park uses a stationary camera, but their idea is hoping to

reach new heights. by using drones they anticipate being able to cover huge swaths of territory. something impossible using the current manual methods. their work has been so promise that cal fire's research and development branch has been in touch and aditia recently made a presentation at google, whose technology is key to the effort. >> it feels really satisfying to know the number of lives that you're actually helping. that's what's the fun part about it, knowing that we make a difference. >> reporter: these two say perfecting their system is going to take more work, but was the benefits are so great, they are eager to do it. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. okay. let's turn our attention now to rob mayeda and the weather. man, this has been keeping you so busy with everything happening with the fires and air quality. maybe a break. >> we could towards the end of the extended forecast, positive changes could be headed our way. right now a decrease in the wind has allowed the local red flag

warnings to expire. the closest that we have still ongoing up in lake county, mendocino county through 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. unfortunately up through the camp fire in butte county and the fires burning in southern california, too, the red flag warnings for the santa ana winds to our south. mix of. >> tommy:s and patchy frost possible in the north bay. not looking at the same winds we have this morning. likely cool into the 0s and stay there. along with patchy fog or smokey fog for the morning. high temperatures under hazy skies for the afternoon. close to 70 in san jose. a cool day where some smoke may actually block the sun and keep temperatures down. the wind speeds not as strong tomorrow morning, but the arrows important for air quality. it's transporting smoke from the camp fire down through the bay area, through the day tomorrow and into the evening. so then it's not a surprise, unfortunately, when the air quality map for near surface smoke, the weather models as it

goes from the morning hours to midday through the afternoon continues to bring that smoke down from the northeast right over the bay area. that's the reason why we have a spare the air day tomorrow. for unhealthy air across the bay area, i think the highest concentrations, though, will probably be around the north bay or inland into solano county and likely see another spare the air day for tuesday. keep in mind, "monday night football" is supposed to take place. looking at hazy skies, 60s as the game kicks off around 5:20. we'll see as those air quality conditions persist. i think probably through about the middle part of the week before winds try to turn onshore. we're hopeful that heading towards next weekend we finally begin to maybe see that high move out of here. it's really kind of held its position since october 4th. but this is a trend on the weather models. we're beginning to see the system approaching the coast. that at least both of the long-range weather models bring a chance for seeing some rain reaching the coast. maybe as early as around next

monday to wednesday the 21st. so if you have some travel plans, this is the long-range forecast looking out towards thanksgiving, but right now that appears to be the best chance for finding some rain, and, of course, that pattern's shift to onshore wind would be great news for for fighting fires around the state and bringing us better air quality. still dry with areas of smoke. think it's going to be a problem at least true the middle of the week. by this time next weekend, keep our fingers crossed and hoping for that pattern change to improve air quality and bring down fire danger around the state. that is the outlook we're hoping to see in the next ten days. >> all right. rob, thanks a lot. >> rob, thank you. still ahead on this special edition of nbc bay area news. whether you are ready for it or not, the holiday season is right around the corner. >> i'm not. that means it is time to start thinking about that shopping list. i'm excited about this story. which toys are topping the holiday hot list? er if iving is

america. land of blue jeans. and burgers. and while blue jeans got all skinny on us... i can't feel my legs. ...no way are we giving up on burgers. that's why i created the all-american ribeye burger, made with 100% ribeye beef, ribeye burgers are back, america.
