(justine) lots to talk about in the sports world tonight...(ken) mark carpenter joins us in the studio. we have another chapter to report in this story-- the raiders search for a temporary home next season may bring them across the bay to at&t park. according to a representative with the san francisco giants, the silver and black...are exploring the possibility of playing their games at the ballpark. this news comes

just a week after the raiders pulled their lease agreement for the coliseum in 2019, which leaves them looking for a stadium before going to vegas. officials with the giants say talks are in the very preliminary stages...and much still needs to be figured out. football at at&t is not a foreign concept... as cal played its games there in 2011 when memorial stadium was being renovated. in the meantime, derek carr...breaking down the chance they could be saying farewell to the coliseum monday night. it's home. like i said, this is where i was drafted. this is where i have some of my favorite memories. even when i got hurt, that's still a moment for me that i'll never forget, just the love that the fans would show and driving on the outside of the stadium to find the x-ray machine because there's no way straight up to the locker room, driving through the fans. (laughter) those are things that i'll never forget." to the 49ers, another opportunity get in the way of the playoff picture for another franchise. the

bears have already locked up a postseason spot, but they are still playing for seeding and a potential-first round bye. it's a tough test for young nick mullens... as chicago's defense is a force.. top 5 in the league... number one in turnover differential.. khalil mack has 12-and a 5 sacks this year, which interestingly is more than the entire oakland defense. look at it as a test for everyone because i do think this is without a doubt the best defense we've played this year. it's one of the better defenses i've seen. th have, at every spot, whether it's linebacker, whether it's pass rusher, whether it's secondary, they have some very elite players. i think they have a scheme and a coordinator that is as good as there is. there's not a lot of holes. they're going to make every single play tough. you're not going to get many freebies or anyone just really wide open to where you can score, unless you can make them vulnerable, which is very tough to do. finally tonight, speaking of at&t park, there's someone giants fans won't be seeing there as much anymore. major dodgers trade news today... l-a has sent a package consisng of yasiel puig, matt kemp, and alex wood to cincinnati in exchange for

people - that's a far cry from 1980 when 200,000 refugees came here to call america home."after u-s president donald trump took office, a new process meant the family had to redo some of the screening checks, which delayed their arrival by another year.ali, resettled refugee: "when there was like something was not happening, especially for our family, we would get really stressed and we would keep praying, we would ask our friends to pray. at the end, it turned out to be wonderful."so far, life for ali in the u-s is the american dream.he has a job as a plumber's associate.he bought a car.and his oldest son is going to school - something he dreamed about during the years of uncertainty in indonesia while their refugee claim was processed.ali, resettled refugee: "he was watching a youtube series that involved a yellow bus going to school and when he came here he was like, 'i'm going with that yellow bus to go to school now! i'm allowed to go to school now!' he was very excited."ali is excited about his new me too and says he feels welcomed even in this political climate where not everyone shares his enthusiasm for refugees.ali, resettled refugee: "our

favorite place is like thrift-town, going to walmart. people are amazing. if they don't say hello, if they are not smiling or if they are different, we just say, they dont know us."ali says one of the best gifts this holiday didnt come in a box.ali, resettled refugee: "this was the best present as soon as we touched down. we are free, we don't have to be afraid of leaving home, of saying goodbye to your family saying i'm going to work and i don't know what will happened." and it's the gift that will keep giving.lynda kinkade cnn.
