chief jeanine nicholson. my report tonight will be brief, but i first want to thank president feinstein for her words at the 9-11 ceremony and the attendance of our other commissioners. thank you very much for being there, and i want to give a shoutout to olivia scanlon and the others for helping us get it together. it was a really touching ceremony, so thank you everyone who attended. and i met our nominated fire commissioner, arney morgan there. i believe he will be getting sworn in on monday afternoon, the 27, so looking forward to that. that is the latest information i have on that. there have been lots of sort of meet and greets going on with our panels for new firefighters, and tomorrow, i will be taking all the recommendations from those panels and deciding who will be on the meet and greet staff. and then violation of covid, which has really been taking up most of our time these days. we have a lot of other things we'd, you know, really like to focus on, but this is where it's at right now. right now,

"the unwitting miss castle." what's that about? it's about three persecuted women in different time periods, or one time traveler with incredibly bad luck. i don't know which. somehow, i was able to join a very exclusive book club filled with the most intelligent women. i can never seem to impress them. they use words like "sanguine."

we couldn't really quite tell where exactly it was when smoke suddenly billowed behind nicholson ranchery. no one was sure how close fire was. and if it was coming, was it right next to us, just, you know. just over the hill so it was a little bit scary. first from sky fox, the fremont fire, throwing up heavy smoke over the sonoma valley and triggering a big response for local agencies and cal fire, so we're looking at about 107 firefighters or fire personnel on scene, including air attack and our helicopters. no structures were threatened. this was grassy hills and shopper out, but with fuels dry and getting drier priority is on keeping fires small. last week we got a little bit of rain, but it didn't bring enough rain into change our. moistures in the fuel. the fire burned within sight of highway traffic, winding through rolling vineyards, and investigators spoke to construction workers who were working near the slope. when the fire started they apparently use their heavy equipment to try to smother burning patches having these big giant planes fly right over you and drop the retarda

five defenders and his finishing was absolutely faultless, and i always remember the great bill nicholsont into the net, he stroked it in. he caressed it in. absolutely. given his brilliance, given his postional awareness and given he was fit, the fact that he didn't play in that 66 final, at wembley, in the world cup, against the germans, that was a bitter, bitter blow, wasn't it? it was a great disappointment tojimmy, yes, and who knows, i mean, alf ramsey picked the team he thought was right on the day and we won the world cup, so you can't argue too much with it in hindsight. butjimmy was certainly the greatest striker of his era, i mean, i always remember brian clough, who himself scored some 200—and—something goals in his playing career, saying that the only player better than him at finishing wasjimmy greaves and everybody else would go along with that, because, jimmy through on the goalkeeper, or through on the last defender you knew he was going to score. yeah, he had the touch, there's no question about that. and just in that report from katie gornall, just seeing some of the wa

earlier i spoke to actor jeff nicholson who plays boycie in the stage production of only fools and horses have an on and off support mentor messaging system where we talk every now and then. we got to a point when i asked if he would be able to come and see it and he said no. i asked why. i caught up with some news. a few days ago we sent a message as a cast and his lovely wife messaged back. i knew it would be very shortly we would hear this really sad news. you described him as a chum. what was he like? i cannot really say he was a chum. very quickly after meeting him at the opening night he was really friendly, really friendly to all of us as a cast — really supportive. messages every now and then from him, asking how we were and how the show was going and telling me his friends would be coming in and giving them a little wave, not from the stage course. i guess we were friendly. like i say, we met on the opening night and he has been such a support, notjust to me, to the entire cast, knowing his stamp of approval for the show was so strong. you will be raising a large cognac to him la

i think two hours ago i would have said i don't know, butjulianne nicholson winning could be a good signng as well. it would be odd if she didn't win, but who knows? it's the emmys. exactly. what i do want to know is, what is the value of these for these particular networks and you mention netflix that we are all familiar with, but the competition grows almost year by year, doesn't it, with other groups coming into the fold. how much of a selling point is it to have these awards sitting on the company shelf? this is huge for netflix. they dominated last weekend at the creative arts awards with 3a victories and i think their tally, they have scooped four awards right now, so they have never won this and it looks like it might be a big win for the crown and that would be huge for them as a streaming platform to be recognised. there is a lot of value in that. apple tv have ted lasso as a comedy which has been nominated for pretty much everything and has to come away with something. i think there are very hard to beat. ted lasso was loved, it was everywhere, it has won two of them already so

[please stand by] while the scotter was moving. i realize this isn't directly fire, but it was e.m.s. that had to come take care of everything. and i'm just wondering if -- chief, i don't know if this would involve chief pang as much, are you seeing an increase in scooters and do people who rent them or use them -- i mean, do you need to have a driver's license? do you need to take

but i think anything can, can show to, you know, to a big change, decline, nicholson emissions. you to change the language on the relationship because let's not forget, blink and in his confirmation speech referred to target as our so called strategic partners. now the believe, quote, target our strategic partner invaluable partner in a difficult region. so the language has dramatically change, but all the files are still that the s 400 doesn't result. the difference between church and the you are on is that the whole point case, which is the target 2nd largest bank is on trial in new york, is still there. so the other puppies, like the military and you have more results. so the sources of tension, the source of the cries are that, but i think right now the afghanistan can be a bit diffuse the climate that will the sooner talk to well, thank you gallivant. how let me ask you this question and i apologize for my naive a t a in this in maybe things have moved in a way that i don't know. but one of the questions about countries like turkey or countries like hungry with victor or bo

and then he said it when the new commander in afghanistan said the same thing, john nicholson.recently as last year a spokesman said he was hard at work making sure to accelerate progress in afghanistan. so if you're wondering why americans aref so confused as to why transit cell in an afternoon, maybe because they thought that we were making progress. and so consider that whole technology, consider the news that reuters wrote about the recent conversation. >> in saying that i need not tell you the perception around the world, i believe that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban. that is what president joe biden said. whether it's true or not, there is a need to project a different picture. in two things to say about this, we know the conversation took place because the pentagon or the state department talked about in regards to reuters. so he did pull american troops out of afghanistan, and they hate that. so that includes the president speaking to another head of state. you can't conduct statecraft people are leaking the content. and yet they are

nicholson really spends in that shot. he shot 69. and then from the bunker, the side door is open. part of four straight birdies. he shot a 64. he takes a two shot lead into the weekend. >> louisville and central florida are tied at 35. one minute left and gabriel picked off alderman. he returns it to the house. the game-winning pick six and the cardinals done. 42-35. >> we've got some college football on. the alabama crimson tide and the florida gators at 12:30 pacific time. it should be a good one at the swamp. >>> bay area communities are rolling out the welcome mat for afghan refugees. how neighbors are hoping to make it a smooth transition. >>> a push to reduce fire danger in the east bay hills. >>> we will catch up with vern and his interview with romero. >>> here is a life look outside. >>> live from the cbs bay studios, this is kpix5 news. >> the time now is 6:29. thank you for joining us. let's get a quick check of our weather. >>> there is some rain and the forecast tonight. the main take away is that it will be cloudy today and cooler. i will show you the daytime highs a

he said that in 2013, than 3 liters in 2016, the new commander in afghanistan, john w nicholson said same thing, "we are seeing some progress." as recently as last year, spokesmen of mark milley said he was hard at work making sure to accelerate progress afghanistan. so if you're wondering why americans are so confused by the fact that kabul fell in an afternoon and the taliban control the country that we occupied for 20 years, maybe it is because they thought we were making progress. so consider that whole chronology you just heard. consider the news that reuters broke this week about joe biden's recent conversation with the guy we installed as the president of the afghanistan, some college professor called ghani. joe biden told ghani that even if the taliban were taking over the country the summer, the most important thing to do was to keep up the appearance of, you guessed it, progress. "i need not tell you that perception around the world and in parts of afghanistan i believe said things are not going well in terms of the fight against the taliban," president biden said, "and the

in 2017 general john nicholson, the 17th commander of our war in afghanistan testified before congress and described the war as, quote, a stalemate. just last year chairman of the joint chiefs, mark milley, also testified before congress and said to congress, we have made a, quote, modicum of success. we have an entire generation of general officers in the military that presided over a failed war. at minimum they failed to adequately advise the senior leadership that this war was unwinnable and unachievable by any means and at worst they failed to do the job they were assigned to do of winning the nation's wars. so if our general officers who were steeped in military history and strategy can't identify a quagmire in the middle of it, i don't have any faith in the rest of america unfortunately. >> dan berschinski and eugene robinson, thank you both very much for stirring up our discussion tonight. >> thank you. >> coming up, kevin mccarthy threatened telecommunications companies today if they cooperate with the congressional investigation with the attack on the capitol. on january 6th.
