file officer he came over and asked him what did you tell the protesters? even though the public information officer is using the court advised, the occupiers seem to think it's more like a threat. it seems to be that way because if they do not comply, they will get ticketed. if they get hostile, they could possibly get arrested. so far this morning there have been no arrests. >>darya: in the nation's capital, thousands of protesters are upset at what they are calling corporate greed and excess of money in politics and. k street is home to many influential lobbying firms in the city's nation. 60 protesters were arrested for obstructing a public highway. >>darya: a petition to recall oakland mayor jean quan has been certified getting it the go-ahead to

of the maze. 880 itself is backed up. as you can only imagine, the metering lights are cycled on very slowly and traffic remains sluggish up the incline and across the upper deck. head over to the san mateo bridge to avoid the traffic altogether. here is a look at the golden gate bridge, southbound 101 is still pretty busy approaching san francisco and the toll plaza. for the most part are not tracking any specific delays. records of a new injury accident involving two vehicles on southbound 101 before millbrae ave. maybe it is a visual hazard in both directions. speeds have dropped to just under 25 mi. per hour. avoid the delays altogether 80 use interstate 280. >>darya: a developing story the latest from the occupy san francisco movement. after last night there were

starting yesterday morning they are here, they are not putting up any fencing. there is no need for fencing. the officers seems to be quite a big deterrent. overnight lee saw some sleeping bags and tents. they told one protester twice to take down his hand. that is exactly what he did. for those in a sleeping bags, they were lenient overnight. starting at around 7:00 a.m., they will can up. they're using the word advise but if you talk to the protesters, it is more like a threat. if >>darya: are the least staying out there? >>will: we spoke to the public information officer he did not go into specific detail if as far as how many officers they're using or how long they will be here, but you can see this there down the sidewalk on the market. a mobile command unit is still here. if

>>darya: cold weather our second spare the air day and apache fog. police say that justin herman plaza has been cleared, 85 people arrested, more moved in last night there are some protesters there today. people applying for unemployment benefits, it is at its lowest level in months. third weekly applications dropped by 23,000--by 23 per thousand.

>>james: here is where temperatures are. fairfield is no longer in the upper 20s.

>>james: everyone is in a tight range of temperatures. locations are hovering in the same general range. that is pretty much what we are expecting in the forecasted today and tomorrow. not much is going on. a high pressure does a breakdown and the picture will change as we head into monday, tuesday and wednesday. winds could be picking up during that three day period of time. at this point it is still a long ways out some of the longer-range models indicate the chance of a very mild temperatures for wednesday. let's get an update on the commute. >>erica: we are following some major delays.

considered a hot spot. major delays through the maze and through powell street. slow and go conditions persist. 880 is not a good alternate. the metering lights are cycled on. we are also dealing with heavy fog and a slow and go conditions. you can avoid delays altogether by heading to the san mateo bridge. the ride is holding steady, 17 minutes from end end. the golden gate bridge is looking clear, it looks like the fog is definitely lifting. there are no major delays to speak up or accidents to tell you about their of marin county. there are some slow spots southbound 101, an earlier this injury accident near mill 3 avenue. ford's third thing if this is your commit this morning, you may want to consider using to 80 as an alternate.

>>darya: the latest from the occupy san francisco movement we have been live at justin herman off after more scuffle's last night with protesters. this comes on the heels of the raid that happened early yesterday morning at 2:00 a.m.. about 85 protesters in all were arrested. we saw one tense top of this morning but it was quickly taken down by police. will tran has been out there this morning. protesters are still out there. i'm surprised to see that there's more cleaning going on. >>will: there are three layers to keep occupy protesters away, the power washing. if that does not work, there is a sign that says park closed for renovations. cough there are also several police officers here to keep a close eye on the situation. there was one

third >>darya: for we are back with more in just a couple of minutes. here is a live look from the golden gate bridge sunshine on the north side of stills and clouds hanging over the toll plaza as he headed to sentences of. we will be right back.

>>justine: the president is about to talk to reporters about a few different things. >> we creates a country

where everyone does their fair share and we can ensure that there is fair play. to ensure fair play, one thing i talked about was the importance of making sure we implement financial reform and wall street perform. a key component was making sure that a consumer watchdog is in place to police what mortgage brokers, payday lenders and other non-bank financial entities are able to do when it comes to consumers. this is a big deal. about one in five people use these mechanisms to finance everything from buying a house to cashing their checks. we passed a law last year that says we need this consumer watchdog in place

to make sure people are not taken advantage of. we have nominated someone republicans and democrats from across the country have said this is someone who can do the job with integrity and has a tradition of being bipartisan. he looks out for public interest and is ready to go. third this morning, senate republicans blocked his nomination refusing to let this and it go forward with an up or down vote. this makes absolutely no sense. part of the reason we got into the

financial mess that we did is because regulators were not doing their jobs. people were not paying attention to what was happening off in the market. people were not paying attention to who was being taken advantage of. there were people making a lot of money fee and taken advantage of american consumers. there is no reason why we should not have him nominated in to be confirmed by the senate. i want to send a message to the senate that we are not giving up on this. we're going to keep on going at it. we will not allow

politics to stand in the way of american consumers. >>president obama: the payroll tax is about making sure that everyone is doing their fair share and said that the metal cast does not see taxes go up by $1,000 in 23 days. we heard recently intonations from the senate majority leader and from the speaker of the house that they think we should do a payroll tax cut off. the question is at what price to get it done? this is not

about me. they should not extend the payroll tax cut for me. they should not extend unemployment for me this is for 160 million people in 23 days will see their taxes go up if congress does not act. this is for 5 million individuals looking for a job and cannot find a job right now in a tough economy is thought rather than figuring out what can they extract politically from me in order to get this done, they need to be focused on what is good for the economy and what is good for jobs and the american people. i have made it clear i do not expect congress to go home unless the payroll tax cut is extended and unless unemployment insurance is extended. it would be wrong

for families but it would also be wrong for the economy as a whole curia >>justine: we were listening live to the president live at the white house. sixth guests and we will be right back. if tests off f.
