plaza. the campers are concerned they might be out of sight, out of mind out mission street and may prefer to move to another area. >> i have to ask you a question. is the mayor's office worried this might be an open invitation for a number of homeless to seek refuge as well not that they haven't already? >> reporter: right. that is always a possibility. that is the status of a lot of people camped here right now. one of the benefits of the new site according to the city is the "occupiers" would have access to a fence that they could keep out some of the more unsavory characters that have caused problems in this encampment in the past. >> we'll see if it works. thank you. oakland police say some protestors moved back to frank ogawa plaza after being ousted from their latest camp. activists who set up tents on a private vacant lot in west oakland monday packed up last night. some of them stayed in the area

supervisor who referred to me as a [ bleep ]. the university did nothing about it. they promoted john pike up. >> that lawsuit ended in a $240,000 settlement. uc officials say former los angeles police chief william bratton will head an investigation into this controversial pepper spraying of students. he also led an investigation into a 2007 may day confrontation in l.a. when police used batons and fired rubber bullets at demonstrators. they expect him to report his findings within a month. and former bart police officer johannes mehserle is expected to testify in a federal trial today. mehserle and four other bart police officers are on trial. they are accused of assaulting a man at the coliseum bart station in 2008. that was a couple of months before mehserle fatally shot bart passenger oscar grant. 4:35 now. a quarantine could be lifted in time for thanksgiving tomorrow at the largest nursing home in marin county. a norovirus outbreak began

tahrir square. (people chanting)

unrest over the country' egyptian protestors and government forces clashed for the fifth day on cairo's tahrir square. unrest over the country's leadership is now blamed for at least 38 deaths. the military has been leading the country through its transitional phase after president hosni mubarak was ousted several months ago. military leaders promised to hold a presidential election early next year but protestors want something done immediately. it's not clear if three american exchange students arrested during the protest will be charged. the students are accused of throwing firebombs yesterday at security forces at tahrir square. they are studying at the american university at cairo. they are 19-year-old gregory porter from pennsylvania, 21- year-old luke gates from indiana, and 19-year-old derek sweeney from jefferson city, missouri. a dramatic new video of a chopper crash where the pilot walked away. we want to show you this because it happened in new zealand. it's amazing.

a helicopter was helping install a christmas tree for display. the main rotor hit the cable there. look at that. and just collapses. now, the rear section of the helicopter broke. the whole thing tumbled to the ground. the pilot had 20 years of experience. he is fine. amazingly no one was hurt, although it was a very close call. >> man that one guy did you see him run across? he was really lucky. >> good reflexes. >> i guess. the lifeguard who pulled natalie wood out of the water three decades ago says she could have been saved. he told the "l.a. times" that she could have survived if the search operation was launched earlier. now, she went missing from a yacht trip with her husband and christopher walken. the l.a. sheriff's department reopened the case last week a flying chunk of space junk was no problem for the international space station. scientists were concerned about a 4" piece of chinese weather satellite that was going to pass by sometime this morning. contact could cause some

serious damage even though it's small. but upon further assessment, nasa determined it would not be such a close call after all. 4:50. wondering what the weather is going to be like, people cook, traveling. >> that is right. >> important stuff. >> it could be a soaker this evening. this morning, cloudy start to the day. patchy valley fog, as well. temperatures not bad in the 40s and the 50s. by this afternoon, you're going to see a chance of some showers, most of that north of the golden gate bridge. otherwise a lot of clouds thickening up throughout the day and toward the evening hours, a better chance of rain. so a cold front on final approach off the coastline right now. already bringing some rain to far northern california. this is going to sag to the

south throughout the day. going to be a wet night around the bay area this evening. if you plan to catch a flight out of sfo today, mostly cloudy, south winds at 20. don't expect too many delays there. looking good. high of about 60 degrees. and moving across the country, houston is checking in at 72 degrees. 67 should be okay in denver and already in chicago at 47 degrees, touch and go in chicago 56 expecting some showers there. so things going to be unsettled as you make your way across parts of the country and really in northern california. the further north you go with the storm insurgents the better chance you will run into some rainfall. i think for the better part of the day mostly cloudy skies in sacramento at 61. high country looking okay if you can get away early on but later on tonight, things will change as the cold front moves in. temperatures 50s and 60s outside with the clouds rolling in so not a washout today but offered to tonight, rain likely all around the bay area and looks like showers continuing as we head in toward

thanksgiving day. partly cloudy toward friday and then over the weekend looks like we'll see drying conditions and warmer weather but it looks like that storm coming through is not at a bad time. if you can sneak away a little early today. but tonight gets dicey and expecting showers continuing tomorrow morning. >> it's only 50 million people moving around today. >> i know. there's so many people. so i'm saying if you can, do it earlier if you can. >> or stay home. >> hopefully still clear now, elizabeth, right? >> so far it is very light. we have no incident on the roads so maybe people taking extra long holidays. in fact, here's live look at what it looks like out there. no problems towards downtown oakland's past the coliseum. drive time at the bay bridge still 15 minutes between 238 and the maze may see. not too many accidents on the roadway. they are doing the lane change nows across the golden gate bridge but traffic is fine in all directions northbound and southbound 101 through marin county into san francisco. mass transit yeah, a lot of people big travel day today.
