watch your screens. you are looking at video of officers in their riot gear removing protesters from snow park near lake merritt for those who refuse to go, they were led away by officers they were in plastic land cuffs. now our live team coverage begins this hour. we have ktvu's allie rasmus where something is -- where something is happening there in downtown oakland. what's happening allie? >> reporter: well, things have been pretty calm for the most part. that's all changed in the last ten minutes. we've seen a couple of hundred police officers return to 14th street and broadway, which is the intersection -- suspect -- intersection. the supporters tried to return to frank ogawa plaza plaza.

as that crowd grew, then police came out. we heard people chanting toward police. we're not sure -- we're hearing a lot of noise. we're not sure what's going on. but we're seeing some of the officers move in towards frank ogawa plaza. this all started at 4:30 this morning. our cameras were there as police moved in on this "occupy oakland" encampment. that was at 4:30 this morning. as many as 400 people were living here. now, around 5:30 this morning, after protesters were kicked out of frank ogawa plaza, they sent out an alert by text for the protesters to meet up at 14th street and jefferson and that's where we saw about 100 protesters there as well. then police closed down that street and started arresting some of the people that were blocking the street there.

earlier this morning, we watched police put up -- put up metal barricades around the plaza. they put those barricades up to keep the supporters and encampment from going back. tents, personal items are scattered around. >> it's still standing. it's not completely down. i mean, i feel like either way, the -- it is -- this isn't gonna kill the movement. >> taking a live look out here, this is 14th and broadway. frank ogawa plaza. you can see the metal barricades that police have put around the perimeter of frank ogawa plaza. they've now moved out closer out onto the sidewalk. there are a group of protesters who weren't arrested and some of their supporters who have gathered on the other side of the barricade out here. but we don't know exactly how many people have been arrested. police are supposed to give us some preliminary arrests

numbers. we do know from messages and text messages and information we've gotten from the occupy oakland people. they are saying as many as 90 people, 90 protesters were arrested this morning. there is a press conference -- press conference, a briefing that's supposed to hoop. let's go to tara moriarty with more on that. >> i would believe that number about 90 protesters because we were at the scene, where a lot of these people were being booked. there were quite a few people, dozens and dozens. we're at 19th and harrison. police are sort of standing guard until city workers are unable to come in and clear out. there's still tents here, sleeping bags. there's tarp, personal i teams strewn all over the place -- items strewn all over the place, bicycles. this is a much different scene from a couple of hours.

>> we demand all of those in snow park to immediately leave. >> reporter: officers stormed snow park at 6:15, clearing out automatic of -- all of the protesters who splintered off the main group. those folks were kicked out at about 4:45 this morning. some left peacefully. others did not. some were arrested and now officers have been sifting through the remnants of the camp here. one officer even found a box of knives and tempers are still flaring. >> 500 homeless people. they are on the lakes on the street. knock it off! >> i'm sad. >> reporter: why? s. >> because i think we were able to create a world where we don't have police and are making things better and it's just sad to see the city come through and destroy it. >> reporter: earlier this morning around 5:30, 6:00, as i mentioned, dozens of protesters were lined up at 14th and clay

to get booked. officers filled out their paperwork. 400 protesters that are here in oakland were part of a worldwide movement. there are more than 1500 being staged across the globe. as you can see, people are headed back to work. officers again standing by here and just waiting for city workers to come in and clear out all of these items. a couple of protesters have come up and said, you know, hey, look, when am guy that get my bike back? when am guy that get this back -- when am i gonna get my back bike? when am i gonna get this back? everything is loaded up. we don't know where they are taking the stuff. back to you. >> thank you, tara. stay here for continuing coverage of the "okay protest." we just found out within the last five minute, the oakland police pushed back their briefing that they will give us. it will be at 9:00 a.m. at 8:30 beale wring you the --

at 8:30 we'll bring you the latest statement from jean quan that has just come out in response to the raids. warm, breezy weather is prompting a fire warning for parts of the bay area. the national weather service sent out a notice saying a red flag warning will take effect at 6:00 this evening for the east bay hills. forecasters say starting this evening, warm, dry winds will blow across those areas, the warning is expected to stay in effect through thursday morning. 8:07. muni says it's improving its service for thousands of light rail riders across southern california. muni issued a new report to supervisors. it says "muni's on-time performance improved to 95% in august." that's up from 90% in april. supervisors say they are still getting a lot of complaints especially from commuters in the sunset district.

that will produce gusts. today, though, after the low clouds, it will be mostly sunny but not very warm. a love -- a lot of 60s, upper 60s. maybe on the high side if some of that low cloud deck doesn't get out of here. friday looks like maybe some patchy fog returns with your weekend all in view. it will be all right. it will be quiet. it won't be raining. it will just be a little cooler. 60s by the coast. 70s around the bay and inland. ten minutes after 8:00. overnight, word came out of libya that the body of moammar gadhafi has been buried. gadhafi's body had been on display for several days along with the bodies of one of his sons and his top aide. now libyan officials say all three were buried in a secret location with a modest islamic ceremony, including prayers over the body. libya's new leaders have promised an investigation into the circumstances of gadhafi

>> reporter: a doctor named mesker treated michael jackson and treated him for a very long time. while the prosecution actually made a little bit of a point in cross-examination that doctor mesker would never have prescribed propofol for any patient for any amount of money, the defense made a point

because they got him to admit that jackson had asked for the stuff before and had used it before with other doctors. take a listen. >> demention to you any specific -- did he mention to you any specific medicine that he hoped to obtain for the sleep issues? >> he asked me about intravenous sleep medication. >> did he happen to mention the name of this medication? >> i think he used the word "juice." i don't think i heard the word of a specific medication. >> and when -- >> reporter: once again -- once again, that was dr. mesker talking about what the defense alleges is propofol, that jackson had gone to him, a interest he had known for a long time asking for -- a doctor he had known for a long time, asking for him for something to help him sleep. this lays out that jackson had been using the stuff before, that he had been going to other doctors before, that's part of their defense, as they continue to lay their case out. now we're told their case could

end by the end of this week. the judge has even told the attorneys if they wrap the defense case and the recalling of any witnesses by the end of this week, that de -- that he will give them the entire weekend to set ul -- set up their closing arguments and if everything goes as planned that means potential, potentially because this case has not been normal so far, those closing arguments could begin next week in the case against dr. murray. we'll keep you updated. until then, reporting live in l.a., adam housley, ktvu channel 2 news. 8:24. attorneys for a new york city hotel maid who accused former international monetary fund leader dominique strauss-kahn of sexual assault say they are moving forward with a civil lawsuit against him. >> the made filed a civil complaint. they say he cannot be side because he had immunity.

we want to go to some breaking news. we're following what's happening in downtown oakland. a fight is breaking out between protesters and police. ktvu's allie rasmus, what are you seeing out there, allie? >> reporter: well, this just happened in the last couple of minutes or so. i'm gonna show you the scene. this is 14th and broadway. behind these people is frank ogawa plaza where the raid took place. up until about five minutes ago, we will seen about 100 protesters. some of their supporters were standing on this side of the metal barricade. at some point, we don't doe -- we don't know what happened or what provoked it but there was a squirmish between riot riot gear and protesters. up until about half an hour ago, things look pretty quiet

here at frank ogawa plaza. this raid happened at 4:30 this morning. the police went down through the encampment and took down the tents. after that, police made some arrests. some of the protesters went to different locations here in downtown oakland. police arrested them at those different locations as well. when we got here back, things were pretty calm up until about a half-hour ago. we saw some people trying to return back to frank ogawa plaza plaza. presumely people had some stuff in that encampment you can see traffic is still moving here on 14th and broadway. cars are still passing through. but again, just wanted to update you on that development that happened. there was a little bit of a squirmish between police and protesters it appears things have calmed down a little bit out here right now.

live in oakland, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. >> yeah, allie, when you went away the last time we noised some of the people who moved away had come back. how fluid is the situation right now. i do see cars moving around. are the police and the -- i'm looking over your shoulder right now, allie. wasn't happening behind you right no? >> reporter: you have a group of about 50 to 100 protesters and supporters out here. behind that line, there's about 100 law enforcement officers in their riot gear. police have not shut off broadway but it appears the

protesters. >> we'll take a break. keep an eye on what's happening at frank ogawa plaza. we'll have more details. we'll be right back.

we're still following a developing situation. scene is vol law till downtown oakland at frank ogawa plaza -- volatile downtown scene at frank ogawa plaza. there's a lot going on right now. >> reporter: now we're seeing police move away from the metal

barricade, moving some of the protesters and their supporters farther away from frank ogawa plaza. now, in the meantime, traffic is still moving here on 14th and it's kind of a volatile situation. you can hear a lot of people cheering and chanting. you are looking at police. there's probably about a dozen police face to face with these protesters here on the sidewalk of broadway here at 14th street. now, this all started when police went in and broke up the occupy oakland demonstration our cameras were there as police started to take down the tents and arrest people. nearly 400 people were camped there. the past week, the city said the campsite posed a city and public health risk. so they were given notice thursday night that they would be evicted. that evick shin happened early

this morning about four hours ago. after protesters were kicked out of that plaza, they were sent a text to meet up at 14th and jefferson. there were some people sitting in the street. there was a crowd of about 100 people on that intersection before police started arresting them. now, about 15 minutes ago, we had a chance to speak to one of the protesters out here. he says the plan for the "occupy oakland" demonstrators is to meet at 14th and madison at 4:00 for what they are calling an emergency march in drakes -- march in demonstrations -- march and demonstrations. >> there was child care here, there was meals being given to everybody. there was a library. there was general assembly the here every night -- assemblies

here every night. you are looking behind 14th street. behind them is frank ogawa plaza. we don't know how many people have been arrested. the police say around 50. the demonstrators say it's more than 90. police are supposed to give an update at a briefing. that's supposed to happen in about a half an hour from here.

>> we're gonna stay out here. i'm gonna move out of the way so we can get a good look at them. it was a dozen officers. you can see a dozen more have joined them. they are standing on the south side of 14 the street -- south side of broadway at 14th street. it looks like police are getting ready to close off traffic because it is a volatile situation. if any new developments come back in and we'll check -- we'll check back in with you. >> we do want you to do some reporting. itit looks like cars are getting through. but it sound the like this is an area that people should avoid -- sounds like this is an area that people should avoid either by car or foot.

7:30, it opened back up again. but then as the protesters returned to frank ogawa plaza, police had to get the metal barricades out. at that point -- so now they've -- it looks like they are preparing to shut off this intersection to traffic once again. off in the distance you are looking at telegraph, telegraph and broadway. i believe police will be closing off that street. if you can avoid the area, that would be a good idea. >> allie, this is sal castanedo. the b.a.r.t. station across the street, earlier they had reopened the b.a.r.t. station. could you know or maybe you can find out after you get off the air whether they are gonna close that b.a.r.t. station again and not people get off? because if you get off at 12th street city center, you are gonna be coming up right there in the middle of all of this.

i'm not sure b.a.r.t. is gonna do all of this. the b.a.r.t. station entrance that's on the south side of 14th and broadway. it appears the metal gates are down there. so no one going into this entrance, this particular entrance at downtown broadway oakland -- broadway, oakland and 14th street, the station for b.a.r.t. >> all right. it looks like you are right in the middle of things right there. we're gonna let you move and get to a good location and find out what exactly is going on. we'll check back with you very shortly. thank you, allie, for your reporting, right in the thick of things right there. it's 8:37.

we'll check back with allie very soon. in the meantime, the city of oakland is taking this swift action to keep the area safe, especially for people who really don't have anything to do with the protests. pam cooke has that part of the story and joins us live from the newsroom. >> good morning. yeah, we've heard from mayor quan on the events but first i want to tell you that i'm looking at the official site of the city of oakland and it does still say that the city of oakland this morning, advising businesses and city employees and downtown workers to stay away until further notice. at we've been reporting that area around frank ogawa plaza blocked off by hundreds of police officers. protest -- protesters. and jean quan says it's time to restore order and allow the public back into that plaza. that's why they initiated the

action overnight. she said the safety and health of the area became a serious problem. now, the part of her official statement this morning just issued this was part of it. mayor quan says "i commend chief jordan for generally peaceful resolution to a situation that deteriorated and concerned our community. his leadership was critical in the successful execution of this operation." she's calling this operation successful but as we've seen the developing story, it's a fluid situation. the early-morning arrests certainly seemed very peaceful but as we can see now, this is ongoing. so again, the city of oakland advising workers to stay out of the downtown area. if you know someone who gets to the oakland area, works in the oakland area, please help us spread that word. the mayor says frank ogawa plaza will still be open when this is all done as a free speech air wa but only from

6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. reporting live in the newsroom, i'm pam cook, let's go to tori. >> and stay with us for the latest on the protests. we're also putting the -- posting the new information at ktvu.com. just economic on the "occupy movement" tab at the top of the page. sal? >> all right, dave and tori, we want to go right back to 14th and broadway. this is a live picture of the intersection here that's bordered by police officers as we will -- and also tv reporters and all kinds of reporters and people that are gathering near frank ogawa plaza and cars are still getting through. but i think that the b.a.r.t. station gates have come down again. so it's becoming what was a -- what was a calm situation is becoming frenetic again and

14th street is blocked. as we turn to the b.a.r.t. station, it doesn't appear that anyone is coming up or going down the tracks there. you can definitely see that 14th and broadway is an area to avoid with your car. we'll let you know, people still milling around. certainly a huge police presence as allie had told you. when protesters tried to retake frank ogawa plaza they were met with resistance from police and there was a little bit of a clash. if you work in this area, you may not -- i'm not sure you -- you might want to go to 19th. let's go to the traffic on 280 northbound. the traffic is pretty slow here getting up to highway 17. very slow commute. this morning at the toll plaza, we're seeing some improvement getting into san francisco, no major problems on the bridge.

if anything, i think it will inflame the situation because people want change. as a part of the 99%, we recognize that the officers are doing their jobs but they are also part of the 99%. >> reporter: dozens of arrests were made from 5:00 to 5:30. we watched those folks being -- being brought over to 14s and clay -- 14th and clay. there were probably 75 people in that line. police told protesters to leave thursday night. the city was very concerned about public health issues. back here live, we talk to some people who -- talked to some people who work across the street at charles schwab. they say they are actually very neat. they were homoing the law -- they were mowing the lawn. we're live in oakland, tara morally a-- -- raw moriarty,
