presidential primary season where people are seeing this process move forward and they may blame one party or the other or both for playing politics. they're eager to move forward but in disagreement on how. >> will john bolton testify? >> reporter: so that's a good question. lawmakers want him here. he was at odds with the president, reportedly, over this ukraine situation, left the administration. they want to hear from bolton. bolton has said he won't do it willingly but he will entertain a subpoena. he may be one of the next to text so far. >> one to watch. thank you. our coverage continues. scott mcgrew will dive deeper into the vote in his checks and balances segment.

here is a look at how large the kincade fire is and how much has already burned. there will be a lot of smoke drifting in the air today. as we look at the upper level wind pattern, look at where it is now over parts of the central valley. much of the bay area spared from the heavier smoke. it's mostly because a lot of the smoke has been blowing off the coast. it's been blowing the smoke off to the west. we will track that. i'll have more on the forecast coming up and, mike, you have one new crash on 580. >> way out to the altamont pass, cleared and not far away another crash reported. a slower drive in the one section, pretty typical there. look at the green sensors.

donald trump for president an ad. we'll find out where this turns into a fight is when jack dorsey attacked for not doing the right thing. he is rudderless when it comes to policy on political ads telling congress one thing and candidates another. jack dorsey went for the jugular in a long string of tweets explaining the new policy and attacking zuckerberg if not by name. it is not credible for us to say we're working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, but if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ads, well, they can say twhafr they want. and adibi winky face. the reason i am making a big

deal out of this today and will in the future is it is a big deal. zuckerberg is being attacked by all sides. candidates for president and now the tech community itself. if you were to write the book about facebook, i would start at october 31st, 2019. >> because things have changed so much. >> so much and this is a pivot point where either zuckerberg becomes the least liked person in silicon valley -- >> no pun intended. >> or facebook makes some kind of change. now is the moment where facebook will decide and whatever it decides that's its future. >> isn't that interesting to see the change, the evolution of the two and the importance of it and how it now has gotten political.

in the forecast. we're also getting ready to fall back so sunday is the end of daylight saving time. at 2:00 a.m. we'll set our clock back one hour. we have upper 70s in the forecast over the next several days. and, mike, the commute is starting to build at the bay bridge. >> no surprise but it was really light earlier and then we're back to normal. i stepped away from my desk before that happened. a smooth drive on the approach looking at one report, something going on around central. no slowing and a nice, easy drive in through contra costa county as well. as i move you up to the north bay, we have activity, of course, but highway 101 is on an off ramp and reopen as folks are allowed back into their homes. 128 has one portion around tubbs which is closed off.

kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers. >> i was focused on telling the u.s. senate what had happened to me. i thought it was my duty as a citizen and that anyone in my position would do the same thing. >> the keynote speaker the delores, the 89-year-old laborer and human rights activist encouraged all women to vote and pursue leadership positions to help fight discrimination. always a really nice event and for a good cause. >> absolutely. 5:25. our nation's capital united when it comes to baseball. >> that's because the nationals have taken d.c. where it hasn't been since 1924. you know they are excited there. celebrating going on overnight in the streets of washington, d.c., as the nationals fans male and female and, yes, democrat and republican, celebrated a

world series championship. this is the first ever world series win for the nats franchise and the first in washington since the senators won 95 years ago. it all happened in the best way possible, a victory in game seven. >> that's into the corner. this ball is gone for a home run! >> there you have it. a two-run home run by howie kendrick and the seventh inning turned a nationals deficit, get it, into a 3-2 lead. the nationals never looked back. they won the game, 6-2. because this game was played in houston, many fans did not go wild after the last out but nationals certainly did. not only that the nationals won a first of its kind postseason series anywhere, you name it, baseball, basketball, hockey. there's never been a best-of-seven series where the road team won each game until

i like to see the halloween costumes. the east bay and our temperature trend for today coming up in about three minutes. you have to check out the spider video on kari's page. we're going to break but please come back. the state government building and where a nazi flag was found hanging and why at this point it's not even being treated as a hate crime. in washington the next major step, and it is a big step in the possible impeachment of donald trump. i'll bring you up to speed when "today in the bay" continues. you know when you're at ross and you find a deal on cookware that makes you say. yes! ...oh, yeah! bring on the holidays! that's yes for less. everything you need to prep, cook and serve up the season.

corrections and rehab employee. >> the offices in sacramento, this video, in fact, shows the flag which has now been seized. managers there believe the employees are the ones that left the items. he said a person of color with no ties to white supremacy groups. they also say the employee showed an obvious lack of judgment and may still be disciplined. happening today southern california congresswoman katie hill is set to give her final floor speech. this comes after hill announced her resignation on monday. the freshman congresswoman has been in hot water over an affair with a staff member. a congressional ethics committee has been investigating her relationship with a female senior aide. at least four candidates have filed paperwork to replace her including former trump campaign adviser george papadopoulos. >> congress will take the next major step to impeachment president trump. this will call for a major

house wide vote, marcus, in a matter of hours from now whi. it's not an impeachment vote, it's a vote on the rules on the impeachment inquiry. the rules set up by the committee. how long people can talk and rules that allow the president's lawyers to attend and cross-examine sets out the whole process. the vote gives a lot of people political cover if they want it. a congress person from a pro-trump district could say republicans have been asking for this set of rules, for public hearings. this is tim morrison, assistant to john bolton. the white house told him not to testify and he quit his job. he says they're not related. john bolton has been called as a future witness. we don't know if he'll show up. he was very upset about by what

the president said to the leader of ukraine. alexander vindman was on that call. insiders tell nbc news he was so concerned that the president violated his oath of office he immediately went to white house lawyers, and it was his concern that led those lawyers to move the transcript of the call to a high security server. they are not the president's enemy. morrison is the former republican policy director for defense appointed to his job by trump. he and bolton are so conservative they got the name super hawks. bolton was appointed by trump. the biggest problem for trump isn't the democrats in the room, it's the witnesses. now let's not let this distract us. president trump presented the highest honor to master sergeant matthew williams. sergeant williams saved lives

holding off the enemy during a mountain firefight in afghanistan in 2008. scaling a cliff to organize rescue of wounded comrades and led a counter assault to prevent the americans from being overrun by enemy forces. we'll follow everything that happens on twitter and will be bringing a lot of this on nbc news as well. a spare the air alert day because of all of the smoke we've been seeing across the bay area from the kincade fire. take caution. a lot of people are concerned, it's halloween and want to send the kids out trick or troeting. we've seen the smoke blowing off the sonoma coast so much of the bay area has been spared from that smoke. seeing the coldest temperatures with the freeze warning in effect that continues

until 8:00 as our temperatures in some of the areas dip down into the upper 20s. dealing with that along with a very frosty morning, in the upper 30s in napa. we're also in the upper 30s in san martine. we've seen low 40s from concord to livermore, over to san jose and low 50s in oakland and san francisco. as you head out for your morning commute dipping down to 39 degrees, heater on full blast in the car. make sure you wear an extra layer going into the rest of the day. it's going to be a nice afternoon. we go hour by hour and look at all of our micro climates taking you into noon, mostly be seeing some mid-60s for much of the bay area and a lot of us reaching up to 70 degrees at 3:00. 72 in danville and cupertino

warmer than it was. time for trick-or-treating as we approach sunset. it's going to be another cold night heading into tonight as well as tomorrow morning. temperatures at about 67 degrees at 6:00. 63 degrees and 60 degrees at 8:00. also about the same for the bay. not a wide range in temperatures today. how that affects the smoke from the kincade fire. we can see the winds here are blowing off the coast around this area of high pressure. that's going to keep it from being really smoky throughout much of the weekend. low pressure will be slow to move though some storm systems and will not reach the bay area.

that steers them up to the north and off to the east. we are going to see our temperatures remaining steady. highs in the upper 70s and we fall back this weekend. daylight saving time ends this weekend. it will be nice to see some rain in the forecast. i don't see any rain until the second or third week of november and, mike, a new report. looking on the newark side of the dumbarton bridge eastbou eastbound, we'll track that but it should be fine. a smooth drive, the south bay up to the city and the east bay, the southbound side just shows a little slowing. morgan hill is fine. before you get there the slowing. typical like most thursdays a little bit shorter in duration for the really slow speed.

half a mile there. a smooth drive. this might be a surprise for folks. pittsburg and bay point and the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza. a good sign, of course. the track building. no major problems. affected by the kincade fire. that doesn't mean the freeways are reopened. obey the roadblocks. back to you. a massive fire erupting in eastern pakistan. survivors say those flames roared through the train cars and many people tried to jump off the train while it was still moving at full speed. investigators believe it started from a gas cooking stove. 5:52. next and new this hour, a new
