dislocated his shoulder when officers tackled and arrested him. public defender wouldn't go into detills about depape's mental state, but hinted at a potential defense strategy. >> what i will say, there has been a lot of atio mr. depape's vulnerability to misinformation. and that is certainly something we will look into as his defense team. >> reporter: that very subject is on the prosecution's mind, too. district attorney brooke jenkins says her office is trying to clear things up. >> i think what is clear is

that this case is vulnerable to misinformation. we are seeing it spread across all platforms at this point. we need to make sure that the record is clear what happened in this situation for all parties. >> reporter: a key piece of evidence about what happened that night, the 911 call paul pelosi made. cnn is reporting pelosi's family will have a chance to review that along with body camera footage of officers who responded to his house the night of the attack. jenkins says she has made a decision not to release the 911 call from the pelosi home. >> we will make a choice of whether or not it is something that should be played during at available. >> reporter: cbs news confirms there were cameras outside the pelosi house that captured the break in and that capital police did not realize something was amiss until an officer in the command center saw a po driveway. capital police are able to access 1800 live feeds that monitor the capital and other sensitive locations

according to a report in the washington post. san francisco police chief bill scott appeared on cnn tuesday evening explaining depape was on a mission to kill. >> what is very clear to me from viewing that body camera is he tried to kill mr. pelosi. >> reporter: sara donchey, kpix5. joining us now live from washington dc for more on this is cbs news reporter natalie brand. thank you for joining us. citing the attack against paul pelosi, the chief of capital police is expressing concerns about the current political climate. so what would he like to see? >> reporter: he said he would like to see more resources for physical security to protect members of congress. especially in leadership. chief tom manger would not get into the details of the kind of improvements he

would like to see, citing security concerns. but again, he emphasized they are dealing with this heightened risk and threat environment. and because of that, we have had to see this coordination and increase in coordination between federal officials here in washington dc and also state and local officials since we know that members constantly go back and forth between washington to their home districts. i can tell you that last year alone, it was reported there were nearly 10,000 threats against members of congress. and capital police say they are continuing to monitor thousands of these cases nationwide. and when it comes to these threats, the police chief of capital police says he would like to see these cases, more of them prosecuted. >> are there discussions or concerns about election violence as early voters start

going to the polls? >> reporter: we saw a federal intelligence bulletin which warned of this heightened threat environment that extends through election day and also even the days and months beyond election day as counting will continue and some contests could be challenged or could go to recounts. this federal intelligence bulletin warned that domestic violent extremists across the ideological spectrum pose this heightened threat but it is important to know there are no specific threats currently right now. we spoke to one expert today who tracks political threats and violence and she says people should feel completely secure and confident about going out to vote. that this is, you know, things will be safe. she believes. but she will be keeping an eye on

certain states where there has been this heightened rhetoric where we have seen it on the ground or candidates running who are election deniers or continuing to spread false claims ant past elections. those states including arizona she says, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, she also talked, though, on a positive note about increased efforts to try to reduce the tension. a deescalation training that poll workers are going through. things to try to bring down some of the incendiary rhetoric that officials say have led to some of this. >> wow. all right, natalie. thank you. and, we will continue to follow all the latest developments in the attack on paul pelosi right here on kpix5. streaming on cbs news bay area and online at kpix.com. let's switch gears and turn

to weather. some gloomy skies out there. any more rain in the clouds? >> a lot of rain right now, actually. but it is so scattered that some of us are experiencing it. and some of us are not by any means. i was walking back from the gym earlier and it was raining on me here in san francisco but it looks like we are getting a bit of a break. lightning activity we are keeping a close eye on in the weather center. anywhere from fremont north into hayward, heavy pockets of rain bushing off to the east. in livermore and san ramon. it is a very heavy setup in the south bay. we are keeping a close eye on that in the weather center. things are continuing to develop as we head into the afternoon. we will talk about that just a little bit. >> thanks jessica. now to some top stories we are following around the bay area. and santa clara, a tesla took some major damage after getting hit by a train. this all happened around 9:45 this

morning on martin avenue. chopper 5 was over the area as crews were looking into that crash. police have not given any update on the driver of that tesla. and a vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in san jose early this morning. police say a homeless man was crossing the street around 9:30 a.m. at the intersection of almond avenue and cherry expressway when he was hit. the road was temporarily blocked off and the man was taken to the hospital where he died of his injuries. >> we have eclipsed with a pedestrian death that was reclassified last week to i believe over a 20 year high where we haven't had this many pedestrian death ins our city. >> the sergeant cited distracted driving as a potential reason for the spike and says a san jose police department is critically understaffed. the federal reserve pumps up interest rates for the sixth

time this year. this rt the fed's fight against infln.fourth row re three quarters of a percentage rate. they hinted they could reduce the size of the rate hikes. they have pushed up mortgage rates and other big loans. let's take a look at the big board. the dow is up 17 points. kind of been all over the place this morning. we'll keep an eye on it for you. reproductive rights playing a big role in this year's election and california voters may be on the verge of approving proposition 1. a yes vote would mean you are voting to change california constitution to include the existing legal rights to reproductive freedom. that includes the right to choose to have an abortion or use contraceptives. family and religious groups in the state

have been vocal in their opposition to this proposition. a no vote on prop 1 would mean you are voting to keep the california constitution as is with no change to include rights to abortion or contraceptives but the rights would continue under current california state law. the latest polling shows that 69% of california voters would vote yes on prop 1 with 25% saying they would vote no. we have you covered on election night with three ways to watch as the votes come in. our coverage begins 59:00 o'clock on election day here on kpix5. cbs news bay area and our sister station, kbcw. and ahead in our streaming service, cbs news bay area, we will dive deeper into some of the biggest election stories here in the bay area. catch our coverage right after this newscast at 12:30. you can watch us any time, anywhere on our streaming service. cbs news bay area. catch all of our live newscasts plus news and weather

updates throughout the day on cbs news am. an pluto tv channel 397. up next, saving water in the state's years long drought. the high-tech high-rise where most of the water that goes in never comes back out. and the state attorney general taking on big plastic. his challenge to the companies that make all of those bags that claim to be recyclable. vo: climate change is fueling a wildfire crisis. destroying our forests. threatening our communities. polluting our air. prop 30 taxes the wealthiest 0.2% to reduce the tailpipe emissions that drive climate change. and prevent wildfires and toxic smoke. so we have clean air to breath'. this is about their future. kevin: calfire firefighters, the american lung association, and the coalition for clean air support prop 30. yes on 30.

california attorney general rob bonta was at the

embarcadero putting pressure on plastic bag manufacturers to prove their bags can actually be recycled. he claims it doesn't appear to be the case. it is not just about the materials the bags are made out of. there also need to be enough infrastructure to collect and process the bags and a market to support the recycling costs. he says he sent letters to seven manufacturers giving them two weeks to prove their bags can be recycled or face potential fines. climate change in california is getting worse and fast. the state environmental protection agency looked at 41 different scientifically measured indicaters from more than 100 experts. they said the effects of high temperatures, unprecedented wild fires and an unrelenting drought are increasingly taking a toll. the report says a multiyear drought we are in, is one of the most

detrimental effects. now we saw rain yesterday, while itwawelcome, it is a reminder of how dry it is tomorrow. and it is changing attitudes about how we think about a resource we once took for granted. as kpix5's john ramos shows us, a new generation of buildings are coming to san francisco that reimagine how water is used. >> reporter: this residential high-rise in san francisco is unique in that most of the water that goes into it never comes out. and it is setting a standard for what will be the future of building construction in the city. on days like this, we are reminds of how important water is. how precious is each drop. so why are we willing to waste so much of it? >> there is no reason we should be taking fresh water from hetch hetchy to flush our toilets in downtown san francisco. >> reporter: but that is not happening here. this 40 story apartment building on mission street known simply as 1550 opened in 2020. it was the first to comply with a 2016 law

requiring large new buildings to have a water reuse system. the founder of a company called epic clean tech says after two years of testing, his system has become a model for what is possible in water conservation. >> by reusing 7,500 gallons per day, up to two-and-a-half million gallons a year, that is two-and-a-half million gallons less of fresh drinking water they have to bring into the building. >> reporter: water from sinks, showers, and laundry rooms is piped from a separate place. it sits in an aeration tank. then that water is pushed under pressure through permeable membranes where it is disinflected with bleach and uv light. it is sent back up into the building to flush toilets and urinals. >> so the water that will be entering into people's toilets

are used to flush urinals, you would never know the difference. >> reporter: water from toilets is also collected and after filtering, the -- well-solids are sent to a facility across the street where a composting system turns it into a sweet smelling fertilizer for the courtyard gardening. they are experimenting with capturing energy from warm waste water. it is an entirely new way of thinking about what we have been sending down the drain. >> buildings bring water in and send it out. that is waste water. we show the waste in waste water is not really waste at all. that we can turn waste water into clean water, soil, energy, all these amazing things. >> reporter: it is happening now at 1550. but that trickle will soon become a flood as buildings include treatment and recycling systems to meet changing laws and changing attitudes. the reuse revolution has begun. in san francisco,

john ramos, kpix5. >> scientists have projected the state can lose 10% of its water by the year 2040. governor newsom has called on the state to increase water recycling by 60% by that time. speaking of water, we had plenty of it this evening as we head into the next couple of hours. oh it is packing on in the south bay. this is a live look from san jose. showers widespread throughout the south bay. a fun little system moving its way through. there is some lightning associated in certain spots. livermore, hayward, we have seeing a bulk of the action. this system is moving off in the east. keep in mind, it is tracking east right now. zooming in a little closer to san jose. near seven trees and campbell. that system has been developing heavily actually near palo alto like i said. fremont, same exact trend. we are keeping a close eye on that

for our friends in dublin. that is pushing into the highway just to the east of you. let's take a look at futurecast. like i said, they will continue to push off into the southeast as we head into the next couple of hours. it tapers off in certain spots in the late evening but nonetheless, closer to sacramento valley. speaking of cold fronts, it changed the whole forecast for us the rest of the week. we were sitting in the 80s off in the east inland hills. now upper 50s and low 60s . a very chilly setup. we have more rain as we head into this weekend. that is all new to a cold front pushing its way in. by saturday and sunday. daylight savings, don't forget about it. as we kick off next workweek, it is a very similar set up. more rain on the way can daytime highs well below average in the mid 50s . and our inland areas as well as the north bay. liz? >> jessica, thank you. the 49ers are staying busy

making moves during their biweek. the latest move that will change how the back field works. that's next in the red and gold report.

chocolate. vanilla. strawberry. but this isn't ice cream. this is big tobacco. and their candy flavors are served with a strong dose of nicotine. because big tobacco knows four out of five kids who use tobacco started with a flavored product. and once they're hooked,

they can be addicted for life. it's time to put the brakes on big tobacco's candy-flavored trick and protect california kids. vote yes on proposition 31.

the 49ers have a bye this week, that doesn't mean they are not busy. in this red and gold report, vern glenn tells us the niners just made another running back transaction. >> this is the volkswagen red and gold report. >> the group will not include jeff wilson jr. when they return from the bye week. wilson was traded to the miami dolphins for a fifth round draft pick tuesday. his role was reduced when christian mcaffrey was in the mix and elijah mitchell is expected to return this month. but selfishly, i will miss wilson's personality in the locker room. >> we got a little saying. nitt. now is the time. >> if i throw that on my wife, she will say nitt with the trash? >> yeah. the laundry. >> nitt, jack! >> i like to go original snickers. none of that almond stuff. >> or the peanut butter or the

mix. the dark chocolate. no. traditional browned pack. snicker label in the front. with the recipe on the back. >> with the red and gold report, i'm vern glenn. >> i'm with them on the snickers, that sounds good right now. coming up, the holiday tradition celebrates

welcome back. it's an acteddive day for us in the skies where some of us are seeing blue skies. others of us

are seeing some rainy conditions. let's zoom in closer to home. some of us are dealing with heavy pockets of rain in the east. we will keep you updated throughout the evening. >> thank you. starbucks gets into the holiday spirit with its latest edition of holiday flavors and cup designs. there are four different ones this year to mark the company's 25th year of releasing holiday coffee cups. new flavors will also be available tomorrow including peppermint, mocha, sugar cookie, almond milk latte. and toasted white chocolate mocha. i thought peppermint mocha has been around for a minute. i think that's a staple but the white chocolate sounds interesting. >> ab

and doesn't throw me on the chopping block. uh, grandpa, what do you think? >> eric: what, this? it's beautiful. >> ridge: stop messing with it. >> thomas: okay. all right. i'm leaving it alone. can i help with anything? >> zende: nah, don't worry about it. i have it all under control. >> ts:
