5:30 pm
>> welcome back. taking a live look now at a calm golden gate bridge. as we've been covering all evening, a huge traffic mess put a halt to this morning's commute into the city and out of the city with protesters shutting down the golden gate bridge completely. here's a look at that. about 3 hours in authorities started making arrests. the demonstrators there were protesting the war in gaza. dozens of activists stopped their cars and blocked all southbound lanes demanding the u.s. stop arming and funding israel. more than 20 people were arrested at golden gate bridge earlier today. >> and in the east bay, there were several protests along 80 in oakland. this is video from this morning showing the scene near the embarcadero exit. he
5:31 pm
had 7 protesters chaining themselves to 55 gallon drums that they'd filled with concrete. it took several hours to remove the protesters and reopen the stretch of roadway. the chp arrested those 7 people. but that was not the only place in oakland where protesters were affecting the freeway just about a mile away. they also blocked all southbound lanes and the on ramp to 8.80, from 7th street. those protesters have all since dispersed. >> and we're just getting some breaking news. and there is a new protest tonight that just popped up. this one is at. >> a tesla factory in fremont kron four's jack molmud is there live. >> with the latest on this protest. jack. >> that's right, folks. we're not quite at the tesla headquarters yet. we're actually at the warm springs bart station here. this is where we heard where the protest was going to start today and through what we're
5:32 pm
hearing on social media was going to move from the warm springs park station here in fremont down to that tesla headquarters there. now, as you guys were saying, this is the 3rd major protests we've seen throughout the bay area today. first will be on the golden gate. then 80 near oakland and that now here at the bart station, the warm springs, bart station here in fremont now looking at social media post, people organizing this bay, we're going make their way down to the tesla headquarters. people have been gathering here at the parking lot at the warm springs, bart station for the last maybe about 45 minutes or numbering about maybe 2, 3, maybe 4 dozen people. and again, like i said, be working to make their way down to the tesla headquarters, we're going to be working to find out more information about the reasoning behind the tesla headquarters this march gets underway here. i'm looking like making some motions right now. maybe still waiting for some last-minute people to show up. but like i said, been to make their way from the warm springs bart station right here down to here in
5:33 pm
fremont down to the tesla headquarters where they plan to march that, like i said, we'll be looking to find more details for now. we'll send it back to you guys. >> how far are the 2 from each other's this along walker? >> it doesn't look like a long walk at all. so if you look at the and i know the sun is a bit harsh right now. but if you look at the warm springs, bart station right here, it's hard to get to the tesla headquarters because you have all the bart station tracks here that the trains run on. but there is an off-ramp. once you get the bart station there that people can walk behind through seemingly a residential neighborhood may be about it less than a half-mile. even down to the tesla headquarters actually walking above the bart station. you could see the tesla headquarters from there. so it's really not going to be that long of a walk it off. >> it seems like large group already. and they're just waiting for more folks to start that walk. is that what you're hearing? >> that's mainly what i'm again, social media notes from what we're seeing is that the planning to march from here to the headquarters, most of us
5:34 pm
to start around 5.30, been about 5 minutes now. so it does look like they're still waiting for some more people show up. >> what's the tried to ask them questions. are they willing to talk or they clear about what their mission is here? >> right? that's right. so we did try talking to a few people beforehand before this protest started. and so far nobody has been wanting to talk just yet, but that remains to be seen as march goes on, we end up getting to talk to some folks moving some of rationale behind protesting at headquarters. but you can see right here behind me, they're starting to do the chance, their chanting free palestine. if you could hear i will let you guys with for a quick
5:35 pm
>> from more. >> appreciate that is as we hear what they're chanting and jakobi sign there says no tech for genocide. as jack was saying is trying to figure out exactly >> what the purpose is there for them going towards tesla today. there big push obviously tax day. they wanted to put a stop 2 funding going to the war from the u.s. government. so >> definitely a smaller and it seems aggressive approach here today at this protest compared to the ones that were blocking all of the traffic earlier today. but obviously they're trying to make their stance as well. yeah, conventional wisdom would lead you to believe that tesla is a symbol of >> money and commerce in this country and that would be the reason why they targeted on this sort of coordinated day
5:36 pm
of action in that regard. well, these pro-palestinian protests, happening not just here in the bay but around the country around the world in chicago, traffic to o'hare international airport has resumed after a pro-palestinian, group of protesters blocked ramps to o hare towards the domestic terminals there. some people try to make their flight. some of them got out and he's walked. chopper video shows the backup here. the protests were to demand immediate and permanent cease-fire in gaza. >> passengers traveling there to o'hare were forced to get out of their cars as grant was just saying they were walking to the airport to try and make their flights. o'hare warns travelers traffic along one 90 there to the airport may be substantially delayed, urged them to consider some alternative routes to the airport. stick with kron 4, of course, especially on a day like today on air and online for continuing coverage of the protests. you can download the free kron 4 app to get push
