at the break point of the hole and workers noticed several snapped trees on top of downed wires. pg&e says this information is preliminary. the cause of the fire is under investigation. >> is that why they have to do it now? this is not something they should be doing but in the gas system we learned they had not properly tested. they had not properly inspected. they did not have proper records and we are seeing the same thing in their electrical system. we saw the tragedy this year. >> reporter: in a statement from pg&e it says the loss of life, homes and businesses in the camp fire is devastating and their focus is on assessing instour enhance safety and -- infrastructure to enhance safety. >> cristina rendon, thank you very much. claims from last month's

wildfires already stand at $9 billion and that figure is expected to rise. the majority of the claims, $7 billion are from the camp fire that killed 86 people and destroyed 14,000 homes. claims following the deadly fires in the wine country last year eventtually grew 10 -- eventually grew to $10 billion. so the initial losses from the fires that broke out here in california last month are pegged at $9 billion. how much hire are you expecting the figure to go? >> we don't know for sure. we know the claims process takes time and as people amend their claims, the number is going to increase. this was the deadliest and most destructive wildfiin

california history. 86 lives lost. 150,000 acres burned -- over 10,000 structures completely destroyed. the list goes on and on and on as to how tragic it was. >> the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in california history, do you believe all the insurance companies are going to be able to cover all these claims? >> one small insurance company was overwhelmed so we took it over and hand the claims handling over to the california insurance guarantee association. we reached out to all the other insurers and they are not in financial duress. >> reporter: i know after the fires, the camp fires and the two fires in southern california, you called on insurance companies to do whatever they could to expedite claims and get victims early payments. have you seen that happen so

far here a month out? >> we have. i went up to paradise and to the area around it to make sure they are on site, taking claims. i ask they immediately cut checks for up to four months of living expenses and 25% of coverage. most agreed to that request. we will make further demands on them as this process unfolds. we encourage people if they have questions about their insurance to give us a call. also if they have a disagreement or dispute with their insurance company, in the 2017 fires we obtained 52 million dollars for people. >> speaking of the fires from last year, the wine country fires, it sounds like there are still a lot of people waiting to get fully paid out by their insurance companies. we know the process is slow. how concerning is that to hear

and have so many more homes wiped out. >> it is concerning. it is a long and painful process as we said over and over again. it is a challenge for people and often times they are having to make very, very difficult decisions. there are often times turnovers and personnel and that contributes to the delay. if you feel like you are being unfairly, give us a call and we are happy to get into it. >> all right. california insurance commissioner dave jones. thank you very much for taking the time. >> thank you very much. >> take care. president trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen was sentenced today to three years in prison for crimes including the payment of hush money just before the election. in the courtroom michael cohen told the judge blind loyalty led him hide donald trump's

neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card.

the california public utilities commission is proposing a plan to charge a fee are text messaging on cell phones. the commission wants rules on whether revenues are surchargeable or not. the proposal commissioner will vote on concludes it is and they vote on it january 10.

for more onthis we are joined by the leadership group. thank you very much for joining us today. >> my pleasure. >> i know you are one of many that are not thrilled about this. tell me why. >> well for, a few reasons. as my daughter said this morning as i dropped her off at school, if i had a emergency they would tax me to text you? california consumers who are already over taxed realize we don't need a new tax for every problem. what the p.u.c. is proposing is adding to an account that already has $1 billion in it, already has a billion dollars in it, they say that is not enough. the tragedy, especially at christmastime is this would hit low income residents the

hardest. a household income as low as $28,000 would fall under this new tax for texting which is a form of communication for many low income residents. >> given what you said there that sounds counter productive. given what they are trying to do is help low income families. is that correct? >> this is under the guys of we want to help low income families while taxing low income families. it also assumes that family in a program called the life line program would be protected but not every low income resident is in the life line program and it is only good for one person, one phone per household and most households will have more than one phone. so this is a flawed proposal.

and it is not even clear if the p.u.c. has jurisdiction. the jurisdiction has a billion dollars in the public purpose program account. and last time i checked it was a lot of money and it is still going to hit low income families with a tax. >> a bill i understand is a lot of -- a billion dollars is a lot of money. how much are we talking about when it comes to this tax per person or phone? >> well, that is the interesting thing, because if they are saying having a billion dollars in reserve is not enough, they do have the ability already to adjust the surcharge to generate more funds for the program. this is a new area where it is

unclear at best whether they have jurisdiction. 49 other states don't do this but they want to barrel ahead on january 10 with a new tax on texting that will hurt the most vulnerable residents in california the most. >> sorry. do we know how much it will cost per month? that surcharge? >> no. i don't have that information. we could find that out and follow up with you. but we know is that the very folks that this is supposed to help will also be subject to this tax. remember, if you are making here in the bay area of just 28,000, you will fall under this new tax on communication through texting. 28,000 is not a lot of money to live in the high cost bay area.

>> a lot of families are struggling as it is. all right. appreciate your time today and your perspective on this matter. thank you very much. >> thank you. investigators believe they know who committed the 2014 cyber attack that collected the data of marriott hotel guests. it was part of a chinese intelligence gathering expert targeted the files of millions of americansch the justice department is preparing to announce new indictments against hackers who work for the chinese government. executive is waiting to find out if she will be extradited to the u.s. she spent 10 days in a canadian jail for fraud charges in the u.s. she accused of misleading

banks to dodge iran sanctions. she on house arrest in vancouver and due in court february 6. this holiday season 46 million people are expected to fly on airlines and that means more than 2.5 million travelers will be getting on plays every day. the trade group airlines for american says low airfares airfares and more choices are making holiday travel more popular this year but some days are more popular than others. like december 21, the busiest day. the least busy days are christmas eve and christmas day and i checked on flights from san francisco international airport to philadelphia, $300 more if you fly on the 21 as opposed to chriday. big s there. 2/3 of americans leave a special holiday type one of their service providers. if you are not sure who to tip,

choose someone you interact with most often. if you tip your mail carrier, they cannot accept cash but you can give a gift up to $20. homelessness in the bay area is worse than we thought. researcherssay there are 6,000 more homeless people in the bay area than the official government count. the director is joining us now via skype. thank you for being with us. appreciate it. you estimate there were 25,951 people living without homes in the bay area last year. how did you come up with that number? >> well, we applied advanced techniques to tackle a problem where ere is not a lot of

good data to answer this question. everyone recognizes the official counts are under estimates. why is that? it is a challenge to accurately count to people. what we have done is taken all the data from different communities all across the united states, we took the official counts and information about population growth, rent burdens and the rate of poverty and tried to create a system and the unsheltered, to create a system we can calibrate to get a more accurate number. >> were you surprised by the discrepancy that you found? >> no. no. no i am not. it has en well understood it is hard to count these counts. they come in low in a community like new york city where a

larger share are shelters. that count can be more accurate. when you have large shares not in shelters that are living in -- where they can, like in a place like california, san francisco, los angeles, that count is difficult to do. it comes in low. 6,000 more is an important thing to understand. it can feel shocking. that is a big number. is it surprising? no. >> what prompted zillow to go ahead and analyze the official data from had federal government and see -- the federal government and see how accurate it was. >> yeah. right? one of the biggest part of the motization is that zillow hope -- motivation that zillow hopes to be all things home. we are building a brand around

it. so looking in to homelessness research was important to highlight its importance. home is important. and we are a data company. we have a massive team and this is a kind of problem, estimating the number of homeless, different communities that are similar so they can learn from each other in terms of finding a solution. these are -- i mean, you know, as scientists, this is an interesting problem. that make a difference in the community. >> all right. help me understand, you know, now we have this information, you have come up with this figure that you believe is more accurate, what do you do with this information? who takes this information now and how is it put to good use? >> hopefully policy makers. just this week we had teams, homelessness experts gathering together in washington, d.c. to

talk about this research but not just that, some of the solutions that are proposed and are, you know, put in place across the u.s., hopefully our public leaders are listening. and really trying -- >> there is the potential for more funking to address thish -- funding to address the issue. >> yeah. yeah. that is an important part of it. the solutions that are applied to tackle this problem, there are -- they are out there, they are being employed but it is a big one. think about the bay area in particular, outreach is a big part of it, mental health is a big part of it. there are a sorts of elements. the bay area, how do we build enough homes for people to live here so rent doesn't tip you over in to losing your home. >> that is a big question. yeah. all right. we will have to leave it ere. great discussion.
