300 or several hundred there. it looks like a truck is trying to get through. the folks who work at the port and truckers who go in and out are strongly against this protest because they said it's gonna hurt them and their business. so there is at potential for a clash here but police are monsterring the scene and no major clashes have been reported so far. we have two reporters on the scene. stay with us two live team coverage. tara moriarty is down there at the port. kraig debro is on the move with protesters. he will have a live report at 7:30. we should also mention in southern california as many as 400 demonstrators are gathered in a park and they plan to march on the port of long beach and we'll have coverage of that event as well. so certainly quite a bit going on this morning up and down california. 7:21. speaking out. what the family of a accused of gunning down a virginia tech

drive up to trimble road. as we get to 101, no major problems. but it's wet out there. steve will tell you more about that right now. a little bit, sal. at least we have something coming through for the month. we've had a couple of .010s. our low is prark -- tracking parallel to the coast. you can see some of the wraparound coming from south to north. everything is in the green. i mean this is really light stuff. it's not going to do much. we'll take every drop. 40s on your temperatures and i think that will be in the forecast tonighted a tomorrow. today, though, some morning light rain, look at that in southern california, things are lighting up pretty good down there from santa barbara to l.a. and san francisco.

light rain, a lot of cool temperatures. tonight we'll see clearing skies. that fog will be back unless we can get some wind and i don't see that happening. another little system on thursday and then we clear it out on friday with the weekend in view. the days are getting very short but at least it will be dry. it's a weekend fire in the tenderloin, the one sound the fire victims in san francisco say they did not here. we're watching the poerd of oakland, the big demonstration is officially underway. occupy protesters trying to shut down the port of oakland and other parts all along the west coast. and a bay area home at the center of another yock pie battle -- ocby battle -- occupy battle.

topping our news -- the big demonstration officially began two hours ago. we've been covering it nonstop. once again, occupy protesters are try tog shut down the -- trying to shut down the port. kraig debro son the move with the demonstrators and -- is on the move with the demonstrators and joins us live. >> reporter: good morning. there's lot of activity.

watch these trucks. they are going westbound. that movement started to happen in the last few minutes. i asked people why they were going down there, were they being led inside the port. the woman said she was going there and i got a text from one of the organizers. she says they have about 250 people at berths 55 and 56. look at the right there. the longshoremen workers' union. they are out here trying to decide if they are gonna cross the picket line. that will be the tale tell sign. if so, the trucks go in, the longshoremen will go in. but if the longshoremen don't cross, nothing gets on the trucks. this all began at the b.a.r.t. station. that's where hundreds of people met in order it march.

the idea among the occupies is to shut down all west coast ports, including oakland and long beach, long beach being the number two busiest and oakland being the fifth busiest in the country. i did speak to a couple of truckers. a lot of people are saying, well, you are hurting the 99%. those are the people waiting to get in. i talked to a trucker. he said he had mixed feeling the about that -- feelings about that. >> it's like one of those things maybe we could have -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: you are afraid they wouldn't give you work? >> yeah, probably. that's -- that's what happens, you know. >> reporter: a very interesting thing happened.

that last person you heard from, he told me he felt pressure -- he told me he felt pressure from a dispatcher of the company that called him this morning, either come to work or we don't call you for the next few days. not only do you miss out today but you miss out the rest of the week. so there's a lot of pressure on both sides going on. we have movement behind me. i have to check into that. the longshoremen are deciding whether they should cross the occupy protesters. that will be the key as to whether the block at the port will work or not. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> obviously we'll be checking in with kraig with more updates in the next half-hour. meanwhile, just moments ago, oakland mayor jean quan held a news conference and outlined how the city is responding to the port protest. >> we're working hard to keep

the port operations going with minimum disruption. we urge the demonstrators who are coming to the port to respect the rights of the 9% who are -- 99% who are trying to work today and keep everything peaceful. >> the mayor says shutting down the ports sends the wrong message to everybody who works there. last week occupy protesters took over some homes in foreclosure homes. as of sunday night, they still occupied the duplex owned by fannie mae. but a local contract -- they are actually in a contract to

buy it and escrow was set to close this week. the couple who was going to take over the home said their research did not show this duplex was in escrow. early yesterday morning, 55 occupy demonstrators were arrested for sleeping on the sidewalk. right outside of san francisco's federal reserve building. the group gathered there after the main occupy camp was broken up. the group was given ample warning that they would be subject to arrest. police say some of the officers were sped upon and one was pushed by protesters. no one was hurt. the red cross is helping 14 people find temporary shelter after a san francisco fire.

it started early saturday night at an apartment building on ellis street. residents say the hallways an stairwells quickly smelled with smoke. most of them never heard any building areform. >> and no alarm went off on our floor at all. if we would have been asleep, we would have been is dead. >> they are now rechecking all of the alarms and interviewing residents to see who heard the alarms. this is still being investigated by firefighters who say this fire does appear to be suspicious. and this fire started just before 10:00 saturday night at a building on 24 and utah streets. firefighters had the fire under control in about an hour. no one was hurt.

it's cold, cold out there. there's very little here. our cloud and rain forecast has some morning light rain and then -- like that, it's gone. most of it will be gone by noon and then we'll have to deal with mostly cloudy skies. i did -- i do think if the wind picks up -- with all that moisture, i think we'll be dealing with fog. temperatures in the 50s. more fog tomorrow. sun, clouds, the weekend looks really quiet. the next hint of rain would be on thursday morning and that's looking like this one be very week. >> i don't think they will go very far. there goes our system and they are getting better rain than us. mostly cloudy, howdy, 56,

drickers. there's the produce and the products not moving around the country that's being impacted as well. it's not just the tractor- trailers not getting in. it goes way beyond that. and oakland . if -- and oakland mayor did speak she's been strongly opposed to this port shut down. unkinging mow thefters -- protesters to continue the -- they really were encouraging demonstrators and to keep the protests peaceful. there's not been any big scrufls or any vie -- scuffles. but we've seen police in riot gear moving in. >> tara, where are you? what are you seeing? >> i don't known if you can

hear me? i've kind of moved down here toward the front. it looks like the officers have staged themselves sort of like inside the gates there. they pushed past protester an landed boo hype them or no. bsh right now, they are just sort of standing still. it was really interesting to watch. it's probably about ten plints ago, there were a couple of protesters that were stationed over to our right. they were sort of looking out at some of the other berths, where i guess other protesters were and we heard them screaming and running over the had the -- running over the hill 5-0! get ready! i guess that's a code for the police are coming. they were really frantic an a lot of people came and then the

-- they came together again because theyly thought this was -- they really thought this was done. they thought they accomplished what any had accomplished and they were gonna head downtown and then come back a little bit later for the shift. police had a different didn't. it will be interesting to see if they make a move and kick them out. we do know the mayor wants theport oech and if we look over here, can you -- if you can see all of these trucks here, these folks were supposed to make hese deliveries at -- these deliveries at 7:00 this morning. the guy in the green truck is from iowa. he had toledo us, you know, i don't have any where else to go and i don't get paid unless i make my -- what choice do i

have? >> go ahead. we're look, at the newschopper2 picture, wheat gonna be interesting for me. the tactic of the occupy drasters are moving in a circular fashion, even though the leave were suntd 0. >> reason they were telling me they are walking in a circle is because of some -- arting some practice and they actually have to be moving at all times. we watched the longshoremen coming up several of them in several shut -- shifts and say hey, guys. we appreciate our unions are not following you and support what you are doing but we do. so we're not gonna let you cross the picket line. we'll see here and see if -- to

see if the police makes a move. this morning, early, the whole street was blocked off. everything has really form -- has really formed toward the gate. sal, what are you seeing? >> we will, we can see everything. and i -- i believe what tara may have heard is 5-0, which is slang for police, which is -- i don't know if you remember that old tv show, hawaii 5-0. so that could be it. or if they were staying -- paying 50, any con uck tacking about going down to pier 5356. we're been watching from our vantage point if, police cars

are driving, some with their dogs. the police are getting up, getting into formation and the protesters very much a -- very much appear as if they are not moving. >> we're gonna stay on this and go beyond our extended time. this is a situation that we have been it. >> woofer's been connerring all of this in the mornings as the if -- ba dave raw -- we've been covering this all morning. they've shut down wall street on the waterfront, that's been a common theme of some of the signs. you can see quite a few people there on their bikeicks and strollers, you -- bikes, and strollers, just out there to try to make a good point.

as i mentioned, this was a national event. this is hag up and down the west coast. again, we mentioned the situation at long beach. this is another whereby qsh -- this is another day of action. the protesters are trying to make a point and they feel this is a way they can have some imprecipitation bade on -- made on industry and capital i lalths -- implication on the industrial. >> now, they are moving in some purpose -- i'm not sure exactly what that is there? >> it seems to be a rather gormation in a line 2 x 2 it looks like. moving around the fence and they don't seem to have any direct confrontation with the

protesters. >> it looks like they are going away from the air jaw any came. right, because before when they were walking toward the trucks -- we're certainly not privy to what strat but but we had heard they had a strong message an they backed off. take ba was -- maybe this was part -- backed off. maybe this was -- >> a lot of the people involved and -- rotters from all of the out-- reporters from all of the outlets are live tweeting. they are communicating with each other and the rest of the world by their twitter feeds. what happens is -- if the protesters are gonna gather and there will be some action at one of the piers here the they will get on there and tweeting it out. people will knows what going on

that way. it kind of brought a new mention in the way protests are organized. >> and also the way they are covered by the media. these are live pictures of the port of orlando and also tara moriarty joins us live. tara? >> reporter: >> reporter: >> reporter: hey, yeah. we noticed that the police took off and they are probably behind the big rigs. we heard some cheering from the protesters maybe a minute ago and police took off from the scene. you can see the cop cars are leaving this area here offof 7th, 7th and mara tie. we're into the sure why and what kind of a statement they want to make. it looks like they were gonna
