protesters are telling everybody to reconvert. there were 100 people converging and a dozen motorcycles showed up and pushed the crowd back. it appears the crowd that was here and protesters and supporters who had been here up until 10 minutes ago have dispersed or moved further south to 1st and webster and you go a couple of blocks more and you are getting closer to another area. but all of this started from about a block away from where we are and that's 14th and broadway, it has been completely shut down to traffic in all four directions since police arrived and when they arrived police officers with riot gear they went into the encampment and our cameras were there as it was all happening.

there were people arrested and you can see people being led away with zip ties behind their back and we have a preliminary number which a television spokesperson said 40 people have been arrested and we did not see any fights or confrontation but one thing we did see were three plumes of smoke from the encampment, we don't know what it was, whether it was tear gas, but all we saw from our vantage point was three plumes of smoke from the encampment and i can tell you tents are flattened, there is nobody left, a lot of protesters have been arrested and those who were not were told to meet at 14th and franklin and we talked with this person, police arrested that woman and it looks like

there are some barricades and traffic is allowed to go through. 14th and franklin, we will keep an eye on the situation and this is obviously having an impact on the downtown traffic in oakland, we will have go sal for more on that. we just got word a lot of the oakland employers are being asked by their employees to come to downtown late because of this activity in frank ogawa plaza and we want to show you a map, of one of the busiest stations in oakland are closed, trains are moving through and not stopping so you can't go there and you can't get off there, you have to go to 19th street instead. i want to show you a view, in fact it is kind of dark but some people are walking down

the street in traffic and i'm not sure who that is, are those police officers or are those people walking on the streets. you get the idea it is not a good place to be as activity is going on. at 604 let's go back to the desk. a man sat atop a wall with a sign that reads stand up for what you believe in. he wants a meeting and wants to come to an agreement over an encampment. >> i don't feel i am breaking the law because i am here expressing how i feel about this movement, with that being said, you can't make an omelet

ground of the police officers here in downtown oakland and it looks like barricades are being put up and this situation is far from over and again if you don't need to be in downtown oakland, you probably should not be there. 12th street station has been opened and we are hoping for norm i but so far it is not -- normalcy but so far it is not careered up. typically we have -- not cleared up. typically, we have rain or shine, we always have stop-and- go traffic, 680 looks good and 80 westbound through richmond already a backup approaching the richmond bridge toll plaza, let's go to steve. we have mostly a partly

cloudy morning and once it clears it will be sunny and breezy. >> nice for the weekend, there is no rain in site. it will be cooler first weekend in november and it will stay to the north. if something changes, it is not doing much and it will be a little warmer forecast, yesterday we bottomed out, 72 to santa rosa, a little warmer and again when you get the high fire danger, that is not forecasted for tomorrow, just mid-70s.
