in on this intersection and one right behind us. their intend is to get people off the street. by the time police decided to clear the street much of the protest had moved on leaving just a few stragglers by 2:00. and neighbors unable to get home. >> i can't go nowhere. i was trying to go that way and they blocked it off. >> reporter: as i said at around 2:00 much of the crowd had left frank ogawa plaza. we're starting to see some of that crowd return. we're awaiting the march that's making it's way through downtown. we will have an update for you within the half hour. in oakland, ken pritchett, ktvu news. protests in oakland put the police department to the test again and they've certainly been in this situation before. eric rasmussen is live, you've been right in the thick of things today. >> reporter: we certainly were. as you take a look, we're on the other side of the plaza.

you can call this the calm before the storm because if we take you to news chopper 2 you can see the very large crowd that's marching through oakland they are on their way here to frank ogawa plaza. when that clash broke out earlier today in this area police said they were actually responding to people in the crowd who began throwing things at them. >> get away from me, don't push me. >> reporter: we were just steps away when oak land police took down this man and even used a taser to subdue him. he was among four arrested during this clash with police that suddenly erupted in the middle of broadway around 12:30. we had to pull back when officers released tear gas into the crowd. opd insists it's tactics have changed since earlier confrontations with occupy oakland in the last year. >> we have a couple of individuals who are inside the crowd and who's embedded themselves in the crowd. they've been some what

disrupted but we've identified those individuals and our plan is to remove them. >> reporter: oakland police said they had all hands on deck to handle protesters but won't discuss exact numbers. >> you must leave now. >> reporter: officers from several other agencies joined opd when they faced off with protesters again on 14th this afternoon. the alameda sheriff's office provided this giant armoured truck as police surrounded frank ogawa traffic. but this time the crowd cleared out and there did not appear to be any more arrests. >> reporter: and oakland police say the more visual presence we've seen out here mostly today has been in response to what the chief called a more assertive and aggressive tempo from the protesters. we're live here in oakland, eric rasmussen. and once again right now we want to take you up live to news chopper 2 showing that massive march that is headed toward right where eric rasmussen is standing. which is ogawa plaza. right now these protesters are

at around 18th and foothill so they still have a little bit ways to go. they have to go down merit and several blocks to downtown oakland. presumably they will be there in time for what we now expect to be a massive rally at about 6:00 tonight. we've got a team of reporters, we have both ken down there and eric rasmussen. it's interesting. i was down there earlier today and very few buildings actually boarded up their windows which perhaps could be a good sign here that they're not anticipating anything going on this evening. the foot locker did have their windows boarded up. the foot locker has been raided before. but things have been normal downtown, people not thinking things will get out of hand. we will continue to follow these protesters as their make their way to downtown oakland.

we will keep you updated of their progress and once they make it to their home base at frank ogawa traffic. ktvu's christien kafton live now in the city why they are targeting a building in particular. >> reporter: at san francisco occupy has reoccupied, retaken this building at 888 turk, but there's been some developments. you can see the heavy police presence in just the last two minutes. police officers started moving here in mass with that truck starting to set up barricades in front of this occupied building. some of the protesters pushed back, there was some pushing and shoving and raised voices. you can see that again that heavy police presence there on the corner. up on the roof of this building you might be able to see some of the banners that the occupiers have hung from this building. this building was vacant.

it is owned by the archdiocese of san francisco. i talked to police and they confirmed they're in communication with the church about how to proceed. we have some video of the occupiers initially moving into this building. we talked to some of those occupiers and they tell me they intend to use this building as a community center and a place to provide shelter and food. if this building looks particular. it is the same building occupiers took on april 1st. police kicked out the occupiers the following day and arrested 45 people. occupiers tell me they are ready for that to happen again. they say there are bigger crime than trespassing. >> it's criminal that they are empty, vacant buildings like this when people are on the street because of lack of affordable housing. >> reporter: now the occupation of this building here in the western edition followed a day of protest. occupy blocked an intersection at market and van nuys before they marched through the streets of san francisco to wind up here. now coming back to our live

picture you can see that police have now set up a scrimmage line of sorts. the occupiers on the right side of the street, the north side of the street by 888 turk. officers again working now as we speak to set up that barricade and try to create a line. we expect that at some point in time they're going to issue an order for people to disperse. we will continue to monitor this situation out here. at this time we do not have word on when the san francisco police will try to push the occupiers out. i asked that very question they said they don't want to say because they don't want to tip their hand. we will continue to monitor the situation out here. we have two news crews actually in the crowd right now and we'll bring you the very latest as they occur here in san francisco. for now, we're live here in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu news. we are just now bringing you for the first time thanks to our camera on the ground here in oakland right where those protesters are marching in that long stream in the area

of 18th and foothill boulevard. pardon me i misspoke, this is san francisco. this is a live look at what's happening in the city there in the western edition. what you see here on the right hand side, we have protesters and activists and you see one woman appearing to sort of plead with police who are essentially holding their line. we see two rows of police and a number of protesters on the right. you see a number of people holding cameras not just news crews also members of the occupy movement. this is just one of our crews there in the city. when things change we will go back and bring you new information. still in the city, clean up got under way following another large demonstration that happened in san francisco. last night a group of vandals in the city's mission district fanned out causing widespread damage to businesses, vehicles even a police station. the witnesses described the

suspects as an angry mob. it took some time to get enough officers in place to deal with that crowd. >> these events occurred very quickly. we were able to disperse them relatively quickly before they were able to do more damage. >> reporter: the group of vandals broke away from an earlier rally in dolores park. one person ended up being arrested. many in the south bay are dealing with the issue of immigration. a massive march and rally is happening there now, robert handa has the story. >> reporter: the mood is emotional and there's a lot of excitement but it's not as volatile as we've been seeing and hears in other parts of the bay area. a crowd of about 300 gathered about an hour ago. then they took off about half an hour ago on their march to

san jose city hall. this year, other groups joined in the march which focused on immigration rights and reform. >> what this march is every year is a reaquakening and a reminder to the elected officials that we are still waiting for them to respond to the grand call for real authentic immigration reform. >> young people think they don't have a say in the community but i think young people do, if we come together we can make a change with everybody in the community. >> the marchs are now making their way through the east side of the community. they will end up here at city hall for a rally and we will be here to show you that on our 6:00 newscast. robert handa, ktvu news. as promised golden gate transit workers hit the picket lines this morning shutting down ferry service and leaving

commuters struggling for transportation. this morning the commuters either had to catch a bus or take a car across the godden gate bridge. the ferries resumed service this afternoon. dozens of ferry workers and supporters also rallied in san francisco outside the ferry building. earlier 40 union members and they're supporters gathered at san francisco city hall and boarded buses which took them to several rally locations. they say their protests are not over there may be more in the future. the highway patrol was on alert this morning and ready to respond to the golden gate bridge just in case may day protests affected traffic on that bridge. rally organizers called on demonstrators to refrain from going near the bridge in an effort to avoid disrupting the commute in that area. in the end, there were no protest related incidents on

the golden gate bridge. may day protests railroad threatening to turn this evening's commute into turmoil. let's go to sal castaneda for a look at how the commute is going. >> gasia and frank, i want to mention the news chopper 2 has been monitoring the hundreds and thousands of protesters here. and just as we saw it. we heard the police talking about it. they have stopped at san antonio mark which is near 18th and foothill. looks like they've taken a little pit stop here. they're going to congregate here and move on to frank ogawa. there's the park and they're going to get across to ogawa at the bottom of lake merit. if you see the road sensors on the freeway, everything is as normal. if you're wondering whether or not you can get home using the freeways yes you can. let's go back to news chopper 2 here and show you that the people had stopped, the protesters have stopped here at san antonio kwroep park right

near the tennis courts. they started at the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station. so rather large crowd but it does not look like they're moving toward ogawa just yet. we'll keep monitoring and within they're on the move again you'll knowabout it. >> thank you, sal. there were occupy protests across the country. occupy wall street protesters marched in new york city today in may day demonstrations. some rallied outside a bank of america building in manhattan as police some in riot gear stood by. this here the occupy wall street movement theme is a day without the 99%. they urged students to skip school and employees not to go to work to show their support for the movement. hundreds marched in the streets of los angeles as well to protest economic disparity and high foreclosure and unemployment rates. this is just one of several marchs and rallies in the city of los angeles today. so far for the most part they have been peaceful. you can always get the latest information about today's protest around the world and here in the bay area.

live pictures once again from chopper 2. what you are looking at here hundreds of hundreds perhaps thousands of protesters some of who now have stalled if you will at san antonio park which is in oakland. from what we understand and sometimes these things can be very fluid, but from what we understand the plan here is for these protesters to continue marching at some point down to downtown oakland where they will hold a rally some where in

the neighborhood of 6:00. a huge rally judging by this crowd. at 14th and broadway at frank ogawa plaza. i'm going to bring in sal castaneda. sal this is causing a lot of traffic in the immediate area but not on the freeways. >> not on the freeways. i think people were worried in protests past they marched on to 880. you remember when they were on broadway and 14th in a very busy commute area. but this is near 18th and foothill. certainly some of the local traffic is not getting through. police seem to think that the protest is just gathering team here. more people are showing up. then as one big group they will march over to ogawa plaza. you can see different groups have gathered here. everyone some buses frank and gasia are going to meet up here first. then all the protesters are planning to march all the way up to ogawa plaza.

>> sal i know you've been monitoring news chopper 2 and their shots. have you seen a large police presence? i heard you say they're just following the crowd. >> the police that i've seen are in patrol cars. police are in a crowd just watching. not in one big line, not in the lines that you've seen earlier but they are there in the crowd. >> sal when we look at a crowd that large and now we're putting up a map of where marchers are going. it's about 2-1/4 mile from where they are to city hall. mobilizing a group and marching for 2-1/2 1/2 -- 2-1/4 mile. it's going to take till 6:00 wouldn't you say. >> you would think that that's why they sat and gained steam before they made the march,

gasia. >> the police are describing the crowd as kind of chilled. is that still the case. >> that's the word that they used. it was some what funny but good to hear that word. they have monitors and said the crowd are just marching and gathering. there hasn't been any violence in large numbers, any way frank. >> we will continue to follow this. a huge crowd about 2-1/2 miles away from their eventual location. nurses went on strike in several hospitals. everyone though nurses plan a one -- even though nurses plan a one day walk out, they will be out for five days. >> reporter: i'm at sutter

delta medical center. and the people out here getting honks of support. this is the third one day strike in the last eight months. >> what do we want? >> reporter: hospital officials say there's been no disruption of services not everyone cancellation of elective surgery. still with a loud protest some patients complained. >> they have no right i don't believe to do this. >> reporter: at berkeley's alta base hospital a noisy demonstration right outside the neo-natal intensive unit. >> no pain, no gain we need to make a statement loud and proud that we're not going to take what they're proposing. >> reporter: sutter is demanding what amounts to 30% cuts and benefits from the staffing. >> all of the take aways that are on the table has to do with our ability to take care of our community, our patients and

ourselves. >> reporter: the hospital says it just wants reasonable concessions in tough economic times. >> benefit packages the same sort that i have and that the other nonunion employees have around that organization very fair offers. >> the hospital said it hired replacement nurses for five days and will walk out striking nurses until sunday. at summit oakland a patient died from a replacement nurses error during a walk out last september. >> if we've gotten unfortunately stoppage, i hope it doesn't happen anymore. they're good nurses, we want them to come back to work. >> reporter: nurses make on average 2-1/2 million dollars in salaries. wtf, where's the fairness. and contract talks will resume next week. yesterday here at 5:00, bill martin said to expect some changes we could definitely

feel. and you know what bill we definitely are. >> you definitely felt it. highs today were down a few degrees. today we're back into the mid-# -- mid-70s for the most part. there's clouds and the áf we're heading for a cooling trend. a good shot at showers as we move into the next several hours. out by pacifica and half-moon bay, we have clouds and low clouds. we have high clouds too. clouds just wept away. the satellite just bliped. but there's a lot of fog at the coast. that's down a few degrees from yesterday. current temperatures around the bay are mostly in the upper 60s for the most part. as we go into tomorrow, there'll be a little cooler at this time. so overnight lows on the cool side. we have some fog and low clouds in the morning when you wake up. kids heading out to school. maybe a jacket in santa rosa. maybe in napa. no frost in the morning but just a cool start and just

feeling a little more, just not quite as warm. we have a very warm period now we're headed for not a very cool period but certainly cooler. we're down a good 15 and 20 degrees from where we were over the weekend at this time. forecast model shows us temperatures using colors. the yellows represent 70s. and you have your 60s are green and 50s along the coast. upper 50s with fog and low clouds. this is the temperature footprint as we head into your weekend. as we head into thursday night, clouds increase. we have a good shot at showers. we're tracking a system, i'll show it to you in the next hit. it'll be shower chances to the north. clouds are streaming in now, those are the clouds we're talking about. in over my shoulder is what's coming in thursday night and that will bring us a few sprinkles. and that will add to the coolness that we're experiencing here. we're going to go looking for

rain, we'll have a specific forecast and we will take a peak at the five day forecast. as you saw live here on ktvu, president obama spoke to the nation in just the last hour. >> i will not keep americans in harm's way a single day longer than absolutely required for our national security. >> president obama makes a surprise visit to afghanistan. coming up, the promise he made to troops. >> the crowd has gathered now in the san antonio district. they are expected to move to frank ogawa plaza. we'll have more on this when we come back. coming up at 6:00. our continuing coverage of protests around the area continues. >> we're finding out if things have gotten better or worse for

our water supply. >> and the lies the defendant is accused of telling on the stand. tonight on ktvu channel 2 news at 6:00.

live coverage here. what's happening in san francisco our camera on the ground here showing you a few of the many officers who are outside of a building that has essentially been taken over by occupy protesters. the building here is in the area of turk and goth in the western edition. we showed you live as protesters took over that building saying they want to use that vacant building to provide services to the homeless and others in need. essentially protesters have been in a face off with police. this picture here shows us mainly the police officers but there are at least by my count a dozen or more protesters around and inside that building. we've been hearing live reports there, protesters hanging banners outside the building sort of staking their claim to it. we're not seeing police move in at this point but again this has just been the case for about the last hour and a half. across the bay to oakland, this

is a massive protest. people gathering in san antonio park in the area of 18th and foothill. this is the first view we've been able to show you on the ground of this large crowd. you see here some of the perhaps more than 1,000 people we're told who are gathered here. they've been marching from the fruitvale station on their way to city hall. frank ogawa is where the oakland movement had set up for months but that large camp had been disbanded. now back to news chopper 2 that will give us a grander view of the crowd there. from this picture we see there are hundreds, we've heard estimates of thousands of people are marching from the b.a.r.t. station to city hall. frankly this picture really hasn't changed that much since we've been showing it to you in the last 30 minutes or so but we're going to stay on top of it and bring you any new

developments. one year ago a navy seal team captured osama bin laden in a pakistan camp. the mission ended a 10 year search for the master mind of the 9/11 terrorists attacked. tonight osama bin laden's compound is in ruins. authorities knocked down the remainder of the buildings down. now of course today does mark one year to the date that osama bin laden was killed and on this day president obama wept on a secret mission of his own. the president made a surprise visit to afghanistan, you may remember less than an hour ago here on ktvu we brought you his live message to the nation from afghanistan. >> my fellow americans we traveled through more than a decade under the dark cloud of war. yet here, in the predawn darkness of afghanistan, we can see the light of a new day on

the horizon. >> president obama slipped into afghanistan under the cover of darkness. these are pictures of him arriving at the airfield. the president then boarded a helicopter to kabul to meet with the afghan president. mr.obama later addressed a cheering crowd of u.s. troops there at the airfield. he promised he would be there for them when they return home. >> you've earned a special place in our hearts, and i could not be prouder to be your commander in chief. >> today the president also told those troops osama bin laden met justice one year ago today and he said quote, america is safe because of you. the president said 23,000 american troops will leave afghanistan at the epd of this summer they will continue to come home at a steady pace and by the ends of 2014 the president expects the afghans to be fully responsible for their own security.

we're continuing to follow may day protests, a stand off going on right now in san francisco. also a massive demonstration going on right now in oakland. more live coverage coming up after the break.

developing news in san francisco at the site of that occupied building in the western division. let's go to our christien kafton, is it true somebody is throwing bricks from the roof of that building. >> reporter: right. if i look like i'm distracted it's because i'm trying to make sure we don't get hurt out here. you can see a very heavy lain of police officers they just came out on mass. they have what appear to be bean bags to try to deter that person on the roof. i watched as that individual

circled around back of the building. he climbed on top of the building, carried three or four bricks with him. started throwing them at the police officer and taunting them. i did see one man akr-sz the street immediately -- across the street immediately after those bricks were thrown, had blood on his face. he either got hit by the bricks or hurt himself trying to avoid it. we saw a young man arrested right over here a few minutes ago. those officers just moved -- as the officers moved to arrest him a big crowd moved in as well. you see a very tense almost stand off feel here. this has been a relatively peaceful protest a while back. maybe five minutes ago. this all really developed just in the last five to seven minutes where the tension really started to ratchet up here. this building owned 888 turk, owned by the archdiocese of san francisco. i've confirmed with san francisco police that they have in fact, been in contact with

the archdiocese. presumably the order to remove these people for trespassing has either already been issued or will be issued soon. but the tension here really ratcheting up with the man on the roof. certainly we're going to make sure we're safe as well as keeping an eye on the scene here in san francisco. for now we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, channel 2 news. now back to the east bay that's where a crowd of thousands is making its way to oakland's frank ogawa plaza for a planned may day protest there. let's go to ken pritchett with the situation there in downtown oakland. >> reporter: over the past hour we've seen the crowd slowly start to build here at frank ogawa plaza. we're expecting a much larger crowd as that march makes its way to downtown oakland. everything started here at frank ogawa plaza at noon but before that rally started here at noon there was a significant

confrontation between protesters and police. a woman on a bicycle was the first arrested as it appears to have bumped into an officer on the police line with her arrest that set off the crowd. the clash between police on 14th, between 14th and 15th on broadway. several arrests were made and objects and paint were thrown at police. the confrontation lasted about half an hour, occupy oakland members declared victory and they returned to the park. >> i don't know it seems like a stand off. they're not wanting to budge, it's kind of a mess more than anything. >> reporter: after about two hours in the plaza police returned in force at about 2:00 and ordered protesters to clear the street. their police line swept broadway clear and traffic resumed as it is now. but most of the protesters by that time by the time the police lines had arrived most of the protesters had moved on

to that march. that is the march that's making its way through downtown oakland. we're expecting it to arrive here within the next hour. downtown oakland, ken pritchett. ktvu. back live to san francisco, where christien kafton is changing after someone threw a brick from the roof there. >> reporter: you can see they have now moved significantly closer to 888 turk. this is the reoccupied building in san francisco. i saw just a couple of minutes ago some of the occupiers bringing in one of the police barricades. possibly fortifying their position inside that building. as you can see now the row of officers very close to this building. chief photographer john mackenzie is here with me. if you can pan to the left you can see there's an officer there with what appears to be a

shotgun, possibly a bean bag shell round keeping an eye on the roof of that building that is where that brick was from. if you look at the ground on the officers feet you can see a lot of degree on ground from where the brick was thrown. a lot of the officers disavow the incidents of that individual. they said, he's not a part of the occupy movement. officers not taking any chances. you can see the officer here in a tense moment with that bean bag gun aimed up toward the roof of the building. again, unknown exactly how many people are occupying this building as we've watched, i watched it dozens of people went in and out of the building so it's hard to gauge exactly how many are in there right now. certainly that's one of the issues that could make it difficult for a san francisco police if they win and if they decide to move into this building. you can see some of the occupiers outside of the building on the ground here. as we move around the officers.

you can see some of the protesters are sitting right in front of the officers. these are the individuals that quickly disvowed the actions of the man on the roof. we will continue to monitor the situation here in san francisco as it develops. no idea as this point where that individual who threw that brick off the roof is at this time. certainly that is a concern for everyone present. we will continue to monitor again the situation out here and bring you the very latest developments as they occur. for now we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu channel 2 news. christien kafton, i think we just saw one of the protesters up on top of the roof there. maybe we can go back to the camera for a moment. while we have you. how many people, any idea how

many people are inside that building? >> reporter: well again, that's one of the things that is difficult to gauge. i saw dozens of people coming and going earlier. it's hard to tell how many stays at the building and how many went out. you might see some action on top of the roof of the building. there are also a lot of banners hanging out there. this gentleman who's here he just came outside of the building. he was one of the people who was up on the roof. he's not the individual who's throwing the bricks. >> christian, let me interrupt you for a second. because what we're looking at here if i'm not mistaken, is a different building. this is a white building. i'm not sure of the location or how close to you they are. but we're seeing someone on the roof that's throwing something. it's paul and lutheran day school. is that close to where you are? >> i don't know if that's close to where we are. there's certainly a will the of rooftops here, and we're

keeping a close eye. where we are is 888 turk. that is again the same building that the occupiers took on april 1st. >> okay once again what we are looking at here are live pictures of a day school st. paul's day school in san francisco. i i don't have the exact location. i apologize for that. but we saw someone up on the roof throwing something. don't know what that was that the person was throwing. we do have reports at another building at another location where a person was throwing rocks, throwing bricks. this person may be throwing the same thing. you can see the police, looks like they have their weapons drawn now. yeah, this is going on right now as we speak. just threw something. >> police are firing bean bags at him. >> that's the photographer telling us the police are

firing bean bags to the person there on top of the roof. we're still trying to get an exact location and figure out how close that is to the other building that christien is at. we're still trying to figure out what the man is throwing. it seemed like a rock. police took cover behind that police vehicle and aim, i'm not sure exactly what that is but it could be a bean bag gun for lack of a better word at the person on top of the building. we can tell from the picture we're showing you here, there are people moving to this area. this is similar to what christien kafton was reporting from that building at turk and goth. but he was saying someone was throwing bricks from the top of that building and we saw evidence of that from the degree on the street. but here we have someone else on top of another building throwing what we believe to be

metal pipes from the roof. police are there. the situation is changing and is becoming very, very tense there on the scene. we're going to keep monitoring it for you and bring you any developments as they happen in just minutes right here on ktvu. >> live coverage coming up from both sides of the bay. we have that big demonstration going on in san francisco. the developing news you saw just moments ago going on in san francisco, we're back after taking a short break.

i can't hear you guys but i can tell you where i'm at -- >> this is actually a live picture where amber lee is there on the scene. this is the scene we just left you with two minutes ago. someone on the top of a building there in san francisco was throwing at least by our count two objects from the roof to where police are standing. it looks like amber things have changed since we last saw this picture, are you with us? >> yes i am i'm at the intersection of goth and turk. what i saw a few minutes ago what appears to be a protesters with his face covered up on top of the building on 888 turk street. i saw him start throwing metal pipes from the roof. it's a building that's right

behind the one that's occupied. it's a building that's higher up than the one that has been occupied. he repeatedly threw down metal pipes. the police got into position, looks like they were getting ready to fire some sort of projectile or something at the protester but i didn't see them fire anything and they left after they collected about i would say four to five metal pipes that fell on the ground. they collected them as evidence and moved away from the scene. there's still a lot of police officers out here. prior to that we saw a protester i can't tell if it's the same man or not from the roof of the occupied building throwing a number of bricks down and it struck a fellow protester that was on the ground across the street. i saw that person bleeding. other protesters moved him away from the scene and that's what you've been seeing out here. >> all right, thank you very much amber lee.

right at 888 turk street where someone has been throwing things off of the roof of the building there. we have both amber and christien kafton on the scene. we're going to keep you updated on this story that seems to develop by the moment. this has been a very evidentful day. just a couple of hours ago, ferries returned to service just in time for the evening commute. union workers returned from the picket line where they staged rallies that forced the bridge district to shut down operations this morning that stranded a lot of folks. why we may have to brace for another demonstration in the near future, tom vacar has the story. >> reporter: this is a fully loaded ferry that's on its way to the giant's game. ferry service resumed early this afternoon as the golden gate ferry left luksburg without incident and many passengers because of this incident. from predawn to past noon,

ferry workers picketed outside of the terminal. the ferry district said the strike threat forced it into a preempted counter strike. >> if we did not announce the shutdown yesterday, everyone would have been here in the dark of the morning looking for a ferry that could not be operated because all of the labor is out on that picket line. >> reporter: not all passengers got the word. >> it's affecting a lot of people. obviously at least they should let us know, i mean i come all the way from hillsboro to go to school. now i really don't know what to do. >> it's my first day at a new job, so i'm really trying to be sure to be there on time. so it's sort of like, oh man. day one on a new job. >> we definitely appreciate the public's support today. we know a lot of folks that ride a ferry are supportive of the ferry workers and we

appreciate that. >> it affects everybody. >> it's similar in all field of american business and politics where i wish people could negotiate a little better than they currently do. >> and this is far from over. >> until there's a real possibility that they might be going on strike in the near future if this isn't resolved. >> hard to say where we go from here. i think we're literally one step at a time. another closure could come in as little as 10 days and that is the threat. reporting live i'm consumer editor tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. may day marchs took place today in cities across europe as well in paris tens of thousands of workers protested. some of the may day marchers protested against high levels of unemployment and increasing unemployment. and there were protests in moscow.

moscow march is a celebration of the communist party. this is the scene as people in cuba marched for my day. thousands of people came together in a mass celebration of socialism. crowds filed through the plaza of the revolution as president raul castro and officials watched and waved cuban flags. right now we want to bring in chopper 2. the marchers are on the move once again. they have left san antonio park and we believe they're headed to broadway right in the heart of downtown oakland to frank ogawa plaza which is right in front of city hall. as we pan back here. we want to show you this is a massive crowd. sal you've been following this, where are they now, do you know? >> they just marched away from san antonio park.

they are going to the west side -- or the south side of lake merit there. then they're going to march across toward city hall. you can see them at the top of the screen. this is such a large group it's going to take them a while but they are on the move toward ogawa plaza. this was the plan all along. now what happened was is a smaller subgroup of these protesters started marching ahead of them then everyone else got up and joined them. now the group is on the move there. some people in trucks, it's almost like a parade here of people marching at least 2,000 strong. some are saying even as many as 3,000 people frank. >> so sal if they are on international boulevard that is a key road in oakland and a very busy road this time of day. obviously it looks like it's shut down in both directions. >> i want to show you this map we made. this is 880 as we move into the

san antonio mark. that's that yellow strip there. >> they're going to go down international boulevard and go down toward broadway? >> exactly frank. they're going to use that road there near the kaiser convention center as you know, oakland there. across that way and then most likely get on 14th street and head down to broadway. >> and what do you figure here, when you look at this crowd. i mean we've seen some tight shots where it looks like several hundred. then when the photographer pans out it looks like this is a really large crowd. >> we have heard police estimating, they were planning to have their chopper up because they wanted to see how many people were in the crowd. they wanted to have argus their chopper up but it's not up yet. they were estimates 3,000 people. and more people keep joining this commute -- this march. >> looks like sal from what i gather there there are police that are blocking off the intersections to allow them to

continue on down international? >> right, there's a police escort in front and also around this protest frank. >> okay, we will keep following this again. it appears their destination 14th and broadway for a massive rally that could start any time between 6:00 and 6:30. we have a team of reporters following this. let's turn our thoughts back to the bay area weather and check in with bill martin. >> we have clouds out there now. temperatures are cooling down. showers in the forecast. we talked about that earlier. you will see the high clouds, also note there's a little bit of fog and low clouds by pacifica. temperatures were like this, cooler than yesterday and cooler than what we saw over the bay area weekend. lots of 70s and upper 60s tomorrow. precursors to what could occur on thursday when we get more clouds and a chance of a sprinkle on thursday night. we'll see how that goes. the computer model comes up in a moment. but right now we're looking at the cooling trend to continue.

tomorrow morning temperatures will be in the mid-40s. you will notice it's cool out there. as you march out in the avenues of the city. out toward downtown san francisco, as you head over to berkeley 60s. out toward lafayette, walnut creek, out toward morgan hill mid-70s in the warmest spots. a really nice looking day ahead tomorrow but just not as warm as it has been. wednesday tomorrow, partly cloudy, partly sunny, temperatures in the 60s and 70s. the forecast model does this, you will see the showers come in. thursday at 9:00 a.m. you see them offshore. at 3:00 p.m. they slide through. so we'll watch this. is it a big deal? no. but there'll showers in the area. you will notice it cool down, temperatures start to warm up maybe in the 80s by sunday.

your forecast highs by tomorrow. you will see a lot of upper 60s. cooler than they were today. temperatures not bad for this time of year but certainly not as bad as it has been. just a nice day, a pleasant day. but temperatures have gradually been dropping off each day as we got out of the weekend. chances of showers thursday, into friday morning. the main impact will be cooler temperatures. but yeah it's a beautiful pattern. nothing big happening. >> not too hot, not too cold. >> this rain will be a nuisance rain at best. >> dr. oz the television doctor seen here every day on ktvu ano today right here in the bay area. dr.oz spoke at a medical convention in san francisco and there he made a big push for facebook's new organ donor app. >> it's very simple. you just say listen i'm an organ donor. it gets the conversation starter. friends may start asking you, why do you want to do it.

but soon it'll save a lot of lives. >> reporter: as a heart surgeon himself he said it was sort of a homecoming, but his main focus was for the partnership with facebook. >> god forbid you're in a car accident and you're able to donate your heart, and kidneys and skin and eyes and all the things we take from folks. because one person can save one dozen lives and clang that many people instantaneously. >> dr. oz also said everyone must reinvent their lives every seven years. you can see more of dr. oz in san francisco today by going to our website, just visit ktvu.com. we continue to track thousands of protesters making their way toward downtown oakland right now. coming up in just two minutes, the mix of causes prompting this massive street demonstration and the intention police presence out there today. we're on the ground in san
