smaller scale. we had fire making the runs at some structures and we have bumped the fire off of those structures. >> reporter: one structure not a house did burn in this fire some time this afternoon. but we did see example after example out here on tesla road where homes, where they had proper defensible space. the house itself was still standing. a testament to the work these firefighters are doing out here. the fire is about 5% contain. they will be out here all night long working on this fire. we are told that cal fire will put its spotter plane up in the morning to see how much bigger it has gotten. live in alameda county. andria borba, kpix5. the single windiest spot in the entire bay area is altamont pass right now. 35 miles an hour wind gusts. that is close to where this fire is burning right now. let's look forward through the night into tomorrow. winds will likely relax overnight. in the morning, 15 to 20 miles an hour wind gusts but once

women. regal entertainment group posted a statement saying we realize this procedure can cause some inconvenience. but hope the flaws are minor compared to the increased safety. most movie goers say safety outweighs anything. >> making sure they don't have guns is important. >> reporter: there has been some backlash. >> it is about invasion of privacy. >> reporter: but kelly miller says it is something she is willing to deal with. >> i have a baby. i would feel much safer for my baby knowing she was going to the movies, that is one less thing to worry about. >> reporter: but others say it is a sad sign of the times. >> this is america and things are messed upright now. >> reporter: now the good news here is that the check that i went through at least was so cursory i think any movie goer could have easily snuck in that extra bag of m and ms or a

bottle of water. reporting live, christin ayers, kpix5. >> also tonight, san francisco police want you to take a good look at the guy in this surveillance video. he stuck a gun right in this store clerk's side. then he cleaned out the cash drawer. this happened back on august 8 at a gas station in the engel side. the clerk was not hurt. police want you to call them if you recognize this robber. san jose has a plan to fight crime while taking out the trash. the city wants to install license plate readers on the garbage trucks. any hits on stolen cars would be sent back to police. the mayor and at least one garbage company are on board, but the idea would need a legal review first. san francisco is accusing uber of hiring violent criminals as drivers. mike sugerman on the disturbing

check process, we will continue to do that. >> i have an uber app. but you are not making me feel any better. >> you should, when you open the app, you see your driver's star rating. you can wait inside while he or she comes to pick you up. >> but what if they were a rapest seven years ago? >> we go back seven years. >> eight years. >> no system is full proof. >> reporter: again, the da is not saying criminals can't be rehabilitated. do their time and get another job. he is just going after uber's background checks. in san francisco, mike sugerman, kpix5. >> da's office went after lyft in an earlier lawsuit. that ride share company eventually settled. a new poll reveals the race for the white house is closer than ever. donald trump trails hillary clinton by just six points. the gap was 16 points just a month ago. meanwhile, we are learning more about the private e-mail account clinton used while she

not receive any material that was marketed or designated classified which is the way you know whether something is. >> reporter: the state department filed court papers this afternoon saying it does not believe that any personal computing device was issued by the department to clinton. and as for that server, her attorney confirmed it was wiped clean of all its data before she turned it over to the fbi. jan crawford, cbs news, washington. the secret is out. the customer data list from the ashley madison hack is now searchable online. they cater to married people looking to have affairs. a recent hack exposed about 32 million customer names. e-mails, and physical addresses. around 15,000 of those e-mails traced back to u.s. government accounts. >> if those are legitimate, if this activity can be directly matched with real people and people who might hold sensitive

prove it. >> phil, you do very well in this occupation of yours and i do pretty well as well. you run your business and i will run my business. >> reporter: that was governor jerry brown responding to our repeated questions about how the state plans to come up with the $59 billion needed to fix the state's crumbling roads. >> this is a big challenge. how are we going to get to the end of it isn't exactly clear this morning. >> reporter: there is nothing new about a politician being evasive when talking taxes but the governor's remarks were made to put heat on lawmakers to get something done. >> california needs to fix our roads and we need to do it now. >> reporter: so far, some of the ideas being debated include hiking the state gas tax by 12 cents a gallon, upping the diesel tax by 20 cents. adding a $100 registration fee

to electric cars. when we asked the governor where he stood? >> i appreciate the detail of your question, but my approach to bringing people together is not to prematurely close the door. so, i am for a solution, i'm working on it. >> but you are in front of all these people saying something has to be done. if they do it, will you sign it? >> ly be a catalytic agent to make sure whatever they want has a decent chance of getting done. >> reporter: i will leave it up to you to decide where the governor stands but he is trying to stay above democrats an republicans in the hopes of pulling the two-thirds major needed to get anything done. phil matier, kpix5. tonight, the drought is causing parts of california to sink faster than anyone previously thought. some spots in the central valley are falling by two feet a year. we are not kidding. nasa's satellite data shows the state has lost 16 trillion gallons of water in the past four years.
