6:32 pm
conviction lands with the republican controlled senate, eager to begin the next chapter. and the senate majority leader is promising a speedy trial. we're expecting it in january, and he has said that it's likely to end in acquittal, keeping president trump in his job. we'll send it back to you. >> okay, thank you, alice. our political analyst larry g gerston is be us. the democrats said they're following the constitution. the republicans said, no, we're following the constitution. what do you make of this? >> they interviewed 17 people, 12 of whom who actually testified, many who testified, coming up with this set of facts that said, look, we have somebody who's broken the law and this is why. and republicans had a hard time today as well as then arguing
6:33 pm
the facts, but what they said is the process wasn't there. you're violating due process. that's a fundamental guarantees. what you had is two parties talking past each other the way they have the last couple of months. >> the vote was very partisan, along party lines. did you see something surprising? and for a person like yourself following history, this is a dark day. >> oh, it's depressing because our institutions are at stake. i mean when you impeach the president of the united states, you're saying this person doesn't deserve to be there even though 62 million people voted for him. on the other hand maybe he shouldn't be there, defiling institutions. it's tough for people like me, but i'm not normal, i know that. the big surprise was 31 democrats from districts that were, as they say, under water.
6:34 pm
in other words, the democrats won in some cases by 15 to 20 points. their jobs are in jep, and they said, i must vote to impeach. >> nancy pelosi said she wanted people to vote their conscience. >> these correct. and i think that most people thought probably six or eight democrats said, i can't do this. i've got a district. so it gets back to the discipline of democrats and the extraordinary discipline of the republicans. >> we move forward, the senate unlikely to impeach, the president will likely stay in office. how will this impact the future? >> moving forward will be rather interesting, and i'll tell you why. nancy pelosi has one card to play that most people haven't thought about. it's not going to necessarily just roll over to the senate unless she agrees the senate leaders mcconnell and schumer have worked out a fair format,
6:35 pm
which may mean some witnesses republicans wouldn't want. she has to certify the outcome of the vote. if she doesn't get around to certifying it, nothing happens. that is powerful leverage that many people haven't thought about, so now she becomes a player in what the senate rules might be. how soon that gets worked out, we don't know. but one set does. >> watching democracy unfold, it's a little chunky sometimes but it was working. >> it never is a pretty picture. somebody once said democracy is like sausage. you don't want to know everything that's in it, but the fact of the matter is it's painful for people. >> you can stay up to date with newscast with our free bay area app. check it out. what comes next for san francisco and the homeless
6:36 pm
center. yesterday a center opened. today some supervisors are suggesting that future sites should be in every district. nbc bay area's christie smith has the latest. >> reporter: supervisor hanie believes that should change and the whole issue should be more urgent burke some say they're working hard to add more services and beds and adding another layer of red tape won't make anything move faster. supervisor matt hainey should know. he has three navigation centers for the homeless in his district. he called for three other supervisors be spre ouad out acs the city. >> if we limit the districts, there will never be enough beds. >> the reality is only three supery districts never had that,
6:37 pm
they never made progress to addressing this as a citywide crisis. >> reporter: there are currently seven with more to open including the embarcadero navigation center which was met with legal challenges and pushback from neighbors. this plan would set up a time line for centers to open in more areas. >> but this is really a misguided piece of legislation in my opinion. >> he says finding a good place is complex and adding new guidelines won't help, and the mayor wants to be flexible. >> one that shouldn't be tied to, you know, a piece of legislation that might constrain us from being able to open up a site because we need to open one up in the district that doesn't have this many people. >> reporter: but haney said others need to step up. >> we have 900,000 living on the streets we need to be acting with a lot more urgency and also acting in a citywide manner.

6:48 pm
we think we'll have showers into 711 and 720 ads well. tomorrow shows a change in the forecast. what i'm seeing right now is the main storm track that brought that rainfall today starts to lift a little bit to the north. so the best chances would move away from us, but that's going to set up morning fog and also slightly milder air. i think the temperatures will warm up 3 to 5 degrees tomorrow and a chance of morning fog coming back. everybody has the possibility of patchy dense areas of fog. so just be on alert for that tomorrow morning. otherwise it's going to be cold to start. 45 in the south bay. more of the 40s here for the east bay, san francisco and the north bay. now, we talked about temperatures warming up tomorrow. definitely not going to be uncomfortable by any means, but instead of the low to mid-50s, we're at cupertino.
6:49 pm
the air will not be as dry as we've been used to. 61 in concorde. 59 in peninsula. head up to san mateo, 57. san francisco, it will be chilly. 56 in embarcadero. 57 through mary rinin. 62 in mill valley. my excepted forecast has things changing once again by this weekend. we see this next storm system right here lining up by 6:30 on saturday night. so here's what i've done on the extended forecast, 7:00 to 11:00 on saturday as winter officially arrives, we get showers moving into the bay area. we could have sfoty somehspottyr the 49ers game. if you don't have a poncho, you can park yourself here and watch
