ouncer ] jerry brown and oakland's schools. what were the facts? fact: march 7, 2000. brown asks voters for new mayoral power to appoint school board members. he gets it, and promises better schools. but the drop out rate increases...50%. the school budget goes into a 100 million dollar deficit. the schools become so bad...the state has to take them over. it was "largely a bust," he admitted. jerry brown. failure as governor. failure as mayor. failure we can't afford now.

11:10 pm
explosion in san bruno. kron 4's christine connolly shows us new video of the exploded pipe taken in the government laboratory. >> reporter: in this video for the first time you can see the exploded pipe up close. this is the 27-foot section that flew into the air. look at the size of the pipe where these arrows are pointing. it looks like it unpeeled like a banana. this is the same section from a different angle. you don't see major signs of corrosion. you can see some dark spots, but experts say that could just be oil film. the ntsb will do a metal analysis of this section and the two other sections of pipe it was connected two. they're looking for signs of corrosion or metal fatigue among other things. tom bowman who is an explosions expert at stanford university took a look at some of these images and says the failure may have started along a weld. >> this is supposition. looking at the straightness of the point where the pipe separated, it certainly points to a weakness in the pipe that could very well be a weld line. you can't tell from the
11:11 pm
photographs. very straight rather than jagged and irregular. >> reporter: the ntsb is doing metal analysis of the pipe and the investigation could take 12 to tonight months. i'm christine connolly, kron 4 news. a nice day out there tomorrow, but cooler weather as we head into next week. i'll have details coming up in your extended forecast in a few minutes.
11:12 pm
state budget cuts are crippling my classroom, so i can't believe the sacramento politicians cut a backroom deal that will give our state's wealthiest corporations a new billion dollar tax give-away, a new handout that can only mean larger class sizes and even more teacher layoffs. but passing prop 24 can change all that. prop 24 repeals the unfair corporate give-away and puts our priorities first. vote yes on prop 24, because it's time to give our schools a break, not the big corporations. ♪ they've all been wearing shirts ♪ ♪ which caused a trend alert ♪ and everyone ♪ saw everybody ♪ tell'em all
11:13 pm
♪ tell'em something, where to go and what it's all about ♪ ♪ tell them how to feel when they shout it out ♪ ♪ tell everybody else ♪ and everyone ♪ tell everybody else and i always get a little worried when i watch the games, because they could hurt themselves... and doctors are so expensive and...what if --

[ umpire ] safe!! what do you mean he was safe? he was out!!!!! i just want to make sure they're okay, you know? [ male announcer ] we know health coverage isn't cheap. that's why we offer a wide range of plans to fit your family's budget. blue shield. no formal news conferences today from either meg whitman or her former undocumented housekeeper, but as kron 4's dan kerman tells us tonight, the allegations remain front and center. >> reporter: meg whitman's campaign spent the day sending out press releases touting her support a among latino business leaders and downplaying the allegations made against her by her former housekeeper nicky diaz and her attorney gloria allred. at issue, what whitman knew about her housekeeper's undocumented status and when.
11:15 pm
>> the timing is really unfortunate for whitman given it's coming right before this debate. >> reporter: saturday whitman and her opponent jerry brown will face off in the first e spanish language debate -- ever spanish language debate which will be broadcast throughout california. >> spanish speakers, for some of that population they may look at this and see the sort of cartoon imagery of the wealthy anglo woman who employed a spanish speaking mexican immigrant from mexico without documentation and to see this big power imbalance and make a decision based on that. >> reporter: a politics professor patrick murphy says allegations won't change the minds of voters who already made up their minds, but it could have a significant impact on the undecided. >> it looks like someone who in a sense is saying one thing and doing another on one hand as well as the allegation is that this woman who while working in whitman's home wasn't treated very well and certainly wasn't treated well when she came forward. for some folks they may look at
11:16 pm
it like that's not the kind of person i want for governor. >> reporter: analysts say it may be better for whitman to bring these up in the debate early on. nicky diaz has been coming under fire. some believe she's been paid to make the allegations. others think she's out to sink whitman's campaign. we sent out our reporter for the story. >> reporter: nicky diaz is planning to file a claim for unpaid back waynes. at her front door there's a -- wages. at her front door there's a sign that says no comment. the people who know her aren't talking and are defending her character. they say she's a trustworthy person and a very hard working mother. she apparently was very active
11:17 pm
as a parent, attended many events here and helped out the teachers. a lot of teachers and parents know her well. so they were really surprised when they saw her on tv making accusations against meg whitman. one parent tells me diaz is very honest, not the type to seek publicity. so that parent tells me she believes diaz and she does not think diaz was paid to make those accusations. we're already seeing dense fog close to the coastlines, going to continue to spill into our bayshore overnight. so by tomorrow morning it will sit along the coast in the bayshores and we'll see patches of dense fog. that's going to push back to the coast at noon and hug the coastline up and down through the bay area. by 3:00 in the afternoon, though, sunny and mild conditions expected, temperatures very similar to what we saw out there today. let's get a look at fog tracker for tomorrow morning. the fog up and down the coastline also spilling into our bayshores, north bay by 6:00 in the morning. i think it's going to be a bit
11:18 pm
more expensive in east bayshore and the peninsula than what fog tracker is picking up. not a lot of movement into the 9:00 hour, but the fog will make its way back to the coastline by noon hovering a bit over san francisco. it's possible we could see sting linkerring clouds when the giants game -- still see lingering clouds when the giants game starts. game starts at 1:00 tomorrow. giants could clinch the division against the padres, game time temperatures 60 degrees, about 63 when the game wraps up. it's going to be breezy but not as breezy as today and mostly sunny skies. let's look at the rest of our bay area temperatures. it's going to be again about the same as what we saw out there today. low 80s for our inland spots, 70s and 80 degrees in santa rosa for our north bay locations, 83 lois gatos, 63 san francisco and 60 -- los gatos, 63 san francisco and 61 in half moon bay. tomorrow the better of the two weekend days to get outside and enjoy those outdoor activities. into sunday a blast of cold air
11:19 pm
drops or temperatures, cooler weather prevails into monday as well. temperatures up and down through the extended, cooler sunday, monday, warmer tuesday, cooler again, kind of like a roller coaster. caltrans celebrated a new milestone today by punching through the north side of the new devil's slide tunnel. kron 4 jeff bush shows you the action. >> reporter: it was a sight to see. the portal at north side of the tunnel was breached by the massive rotating earth cutting machine called a road header. you can see how powerful the road header is. the rotating drums have special hardened steel bits that make short work of the rocks that stood between it and an enthusiastic crowd of caltrans workers and other san mateo residents. the ground shook as the heavy equipment was methodically operated by the workers inside the tunnel that has been under construction more han three years. it has taken this long to -- than three years. it has taken this long to bore through more than 4,000 feet of
11:20 pm
the rock and earth that makes up san pedro mountain. construction crews are on a 24- 7 365 day a year schedule and their hard work was shown off when the road header completed the conduit that will give relief to drives that depend on the route from -- drivers that depend on the route from half moon bay and back. when it's all done it will provide a safe route for people who for years drove apprehensively on the old road that was unreliable and unsafe. in sports the ninth ranked stanford cardinals get ready for their showdown against the fourth ranked oregon ducks and not many would have believed it back in april, but the giants push on to try and clinch their first national league west title in seven years. gary is up next with all the sports.
11:21 pm
as governor, he balanced budgets without raising taxes. and california created 1.9 million jobs. as attorney general, jerry brown took on wall street banks, mortgage scammers and public officials stealing from
11:22 pm
taxpayers. at this stage in his life, jerry brown has the independence to make the tough decisions california needs. as governor i'll cap government salaries and pensions. on the budget, we have to face reality. we have to make due with what we have. and no taxes without voter approval. jerry brown, knowledge and know-how that works for you.
11:23 pm
>> reporter: good evening, everybody, from at&t park, fans
11:24 pm
walking out rather disappointed but that's the advantage of a three game lead with two to play. to the highlights for those of you who just rolled in. andrew torres won the player with the biggest heart award. adrian gonzalez had a spotty game in the field, but this three-run blast started a matt cain evening which saw him give up three home runs. the giants, though, come back with aaron rowand bottom 6th left for dead not playing of late, a two-run homer of clayton richard and the momentum is all giants from 6-0 back to 6-3. then four batters later the before mentioned torres hits a little dribbler. not many guys will beat that out of the giants, but torres does. it's 6-4 and the fans really at
11:25 pm
this juncture you could sense hey, maybe the giants are going to come all the way back, but then in the 9th aubrey huff, a drive to right with freddy sanchez who had walked the board. freddy sanchez just blew it. bad day. he obviously thought it was going to hit the wall. it was caught. he doubled at first and that's your game. the san diego padres 6, the giants 4. if you not to play around with history, the dodgers back in 1996 led the padres going way back here by three games with three to play. padres swept them, won the national league west. so again tomorrow is a key game and they'll go with barry zito. they moved zito back to get matt cain it. didn't work out, but once again the giants need only win tomorrow or win on sunday and they are champions. if it happens that way, heck, it would go to a playoff on monday, a one-game playoff, but again the giants tomorrow you lose, then you start to twitch.
11:26 pm
tonight all right, got beaten, but on this night a better san diego team. the a's are still playing. here we go in seattle. if they win out the rest of the year, tonight, tomorrow and sunday they'd have a .500 year. garrett barton a grand slam of somebody named luke trench. it was 7-0 a's in the 2nd inning and trevor cahill on his way to his 18th win. the a's win 9-0. one more time they're playing for at least a .500 season or that's all they can play for. so they win tomorrow and maybe again sunday and that's it. so the giants are the headliner. the a's grunting but still in there. tomorrow you like your college football? sharks play tomorrow on national tv at 1:00 and 5:00 stanford versus oregon, one of the biggest games for stanford outside the cal game and the usc contest they've had in years. oregon is no. 4. stanford is no. 9 and this is going to be one
11:27 pm
of those deals where young luck, if he's going to have a chance for the heisman, he has to play well. jim harbaugh, you're a seven- point underdog. >> oregon does a tremendous dog ball hogging, stripping, sack. ifs, interceptions. this team is built for speed. >> the it's going to be tough. it's going to be fun. this is definitely the game. i guess you'll see why we play college football for games like these and tough atmospheres like it's going to be. we're very excited. >> reporter: kind of funny if you're a golf fan. the ryder cup starts in about five minutes. we turned it down. we'll have a hypnotist probably on with an infomercial, but nonetheless the european team reigning in wales and the weather has been the big story, but apparently they're able to now get some of this in. tiger woods the approach shot set up a birdie.
11:28 pm
tiger and somebody named stricker all square with ian poulter and ross fisher after 10 holes and then i'm laughing in a parking lot talking about ian poulter, third hole poulter, that's it.
