protesters. this is there live feed of what they've been able to accomplish, which is taking over the bridge and see how they're connected with a big black kind of so some of these protesters are not going to be separated. they'll be they can be put up on my on masks and mass on the buses. fascinating to see. obviously the backup. >> there in both directions. i know this is the westbound lanes are blocked. and so traffic can move at all. but on the eastbound side, a lot of stopping or slowing down to look over what's happening and that's causing quite the backup for people in san francisco that are hoping to use the bay bridge to get over to the oakland side and among them is our own charles who talked with yesterday when he was out there covering the demonstrations at 15 mission in the city. now he's joining us on the phone. he's trapped on the lower deck in that slow-moving traffic. and charles, as we talk to you, we're looking at police literally picking up demonstrators and carrying them over

protesters is also a protesters clashed supporters. depending on which side of aisle that you want to sit on, that's where you but right now it is peaceful. they have their megaphones. they have signs flags. they have not gotten into each other's faces at this point and police officers, yes, they have their batons. they have their firearm next to their side. but so far i have not one police officer need to step in to at least break up any skirmishes. this area has been shut down as far as to 80 at edgewood. it has been shut down to the traffic. and again, there is no guarantee the motorcade will come here. but they're keeping their fingers crossed as far as the supporters and protesters that, in fact, the president does roll through this area, james? well, will i was just going to say, according to the president's schedule, it 8 10 45 our time that he's supposed to greet president xi at. >> that meeting presumably that means his motorcade is going to come by in advance of this is the route you'll likely see president biden's motorcade

it seemed to protester versus protester because >> some of these protesters, we've seen their flags and signs and some take a stance for israelis. some take a stance for palestinians. and that's not all of the protesters representing with there were demonstrating for. but some of them. and we saw a little shoving or arguing and between them. so that's what sky getting a little testy as well. but as far as the police versus the protesters, that seems to be going, ok, what is that? what is almost area he something off in the distance on if we can bring that teams all right. thank you. obviously the mind goes to tear gas when you see police riot gear demonstrators, but that's just steam off in the distance is nothing to worry about that. and really, if you look at the stance of the officers, even though they have both but the shield. >> the shield her up and they've actually been like, well, he just down. the been explaining that looks like they're talking to the protesters and having conversations and kind of like, hey, you got to get back or there's there's no kind of confrontation at al

buy a pack protesters. you're looking here at new video of some of those protesters walking on the bridge. and this was captured earlier this morning. this i

. >> pro-palestinian protest evacuated the dnc last night.y are following president biden around the country. i will speak with one of the activists who was there at the dnc and calling for a cease- fire. what do you say to other democrats who are demanding an immediate cease-fire from israel? >> abby, an immediate cease- fire would be a gift to hamas. a unilateral cease-fire without providing any response where hamas has to implement the cease-fire, where hamas as to turn over the civilian to they've taken hostage, that's meaningless, it just gives time for hamas to regroup and for the kinds of protest that we saw at the dnc, i was on the national mall on tuesday when there were nearly 300,000 supporters of israel, peacefully marching, to standing in unison quietly, listening to the speaker, that was the kind of demonstration support for israel, the american jewish community stands firm behind the idea of ensuring that security with israel israel and the united states, we are taking the right position to ensure they have the time and base ne

people have been protesting this.ust saw -- people have been resigning from "the new york times" because of the language used by the paper in this coverage. but also you have not seen the type of outcry one would imagine from the journalistic community for their colleagues been killed in gaza. the ones who aren't killed and gaza have lost so much, lost families, homes. when jamal khashoggi was brutally murdered, there was massive condemnation from western news outlets and rightly so. when "the wall street journal close were reported who remains in prison in russia was arrested, there has been room massive outcry amongst his arrest. we have not seen the same kind of outcry over this record number of journalists that have been killed and gaza. i think it is deeply problematic and reveals a bias that is being laid bare in many ways. shireen abu akleh, when this all -- with the assault on gaza began october 7, we saw people post on twitter, on social media photos of shireen and just saying, head of wishing she was around,

protest is one of the most effective ways for the majority to have their voices heard. it is the reflection of public feeling often under-represented in politics, especially groups or overlooked or ignored. to be heard, citizens band together in solidary. on the ground, politicians like the uk home secretary are creating an environment of hate where support for the palestinian people is being maliciously conflated with terrorism. here she advises the police to go outside of their scope of proscribed organizations and hate crime rhetoric stating, of course it is not just explicit prohamas symbols and chance that are cause for concern. i would encourage police to consider whether chance such as from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, should be understood as an expression of violent desire to see israel erased from the world. behaviors that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example, the waving of a palestinian flag may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism. this advice has had insidious effects. with children in and out of

some of the protesters might be protesting for peace in the middle east.out there looking for climate just as human rights. >> a defenders also been have been voicing their message in the in the days leading up to and on this day, a huge piece of the protest is against president xi of china and against what's going on in you know, president biden is p- meeting just within the next couple hours. >> with the president of china. so we know that there are a lot of protests that aimed towards that. these protesters. i mean, they're taking advantage of the political spotlight. this on san francisco right now. there are cameras trained on them from around the world at the apec summit. so that's why day they get lot of publicity and we've seen demonstrators coming from all corners of the world to participate in those demonstrations. today. we've >> heard from protesters from far away as chicago that have come in and of have come in from other countries as well. and again, this is sort of nearing what we've seen already this week. it was wet monday. was on monday t

protest.gs they are talking about is the latest out of israel and palestine. israel's war against terror group hamas. israel says they have delivered medical and baby supplies to one of gaza's largest hospitals after announcing a precise and targeted operation against hamas. the u.s. is backing israel's claim that hamas is using underground tunnels beneath hospitals to support military operations and allegedly conceal hostages . at the same time, the biden administration says they do not want to see airstrikes on clinics. the fighting any sensitive areas has sent the region's health sector reportedly to the brink of collapse. this is in northern gaza. they are reporting that there was only one functioning hospital remaining, as a look at the tunnels found underneath. >>> let's come home and talk about issues that affect us. the metropolitan transportation commission will take part in a critical vote today that could give bart the lifeline it means to avoid a fiscal cliff. mtc will give bart mo

. >> the protesters were kept at a distance. they did their best to have their voices heard on the world stage. the intense clashes. >>> and feeling silenced in their home country, how protesters took advantage of a rare chance to send a message to china's president. >> when he sees this, he definitely will feel vulnerable. >>> from politics to vip parties, the presidential bash, breaking high-security and road closures to the waterfront. >>> this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >>> good evening. it has been an action-packed day. high-stakes diplomacy and demonstrations. the most anticipated event of the apec summit, just wrapping up outside of san francisco. is b, speaking in the last half hour about his, quote, productive meeting with china's president. hours earlier, the two shook hands and sat down for their first talks in a year. the leaders spent four hours together, with a working lunch, and then, there you go, a garden stroll. a chance to ease tensions and send the message that the global superpowers may be

protesters shutting down the bay bridge. a live look at the bay bridge where chp officers were working to diligently to get those lanes cleared. good morning. thank for joining us for the midday newscast. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. we are following several breaking stories. president biden expected to speak soon to ceos at the apec summit. chp workers are now clearing the bay bridge after protesters shut down the heart of the bridge this morning during that commute. >> we've been following this story all morning long. nbc bay area's beb redell has been on the bridge for the last couple of hours as well. it started at 7:40 this morning, bob. >> i'm on air right now, quickly. how much time to process these people? >> sounds like he's talking to officials. >> i'm talking to -- >> thank you, officer. i'm talking to chp and they were alking to chp and they were coming to let us know, that once they get the people processed and once they have them off the bridge they'll be reopening and we need to get out of here

so what we know right now, protests breaking out approximately about 100 protesters on the bridge right now in their vehicles. and they've got these completely shut down. so dorian, james, this this is is all just happening right now on your screen. and i know james and are you guys are looking at some other camera angles and you're talking about what you're seeing there from a different angle. so actually, let's just keep this up. and as we talked to live with the chp on teal is on the line right now. so we can talk about how this could, first of all possibly happen with cars, just drove up onto the bridge, stopped and got out. still trying to connect with the officer. so as soon as he's on the line, we're going chat with him about what we're seeing. but what we can make out from some of the live. >> caltrans cameras is that actually i think we haven't connected now. officer monte lee with us. okay. what happened? look us. yes. >> well, you actually, just a little 7.15, morning, we've got a call of several protests are but approximately 50 foot that's blocking the it was finally over 8

that is their job, and their job is also to allow protesters to protest peacefully, but it has to bedone in a way that is actually peaceful. they think that's what they would. are you >> again, i appreciate it. i think that, what i am trying to get across is, it is important to remember that this exact tactic of blocking the doors to the building, including with lawmakers inside, we have three and people peacefully demonstrating in the capital of rotunda, in the same groups. right next to where lawmakers -- were and inside the capitol buildings, in that demonstration, made the routine announcement to ask protesters to leave, they work with police liaisons. everything went smoothly, in the order that it wouldn't escalate. and they did not do that this time. and, that is why we are saying, we don't understand what happens. and, i organized for president biden in arizona, and i am just calling on the party that i worked to elect to deal with what 80% of its voters are asking it to do, and call for a cease-fire now. >> i totally understand that. thank you so much eva for joining, us and

protest is one of the most effective ways for the majority to have their voices heard. it is the reflection of public feeling often underrepresented in politics. especially groups are overlooked or ignored, to be heard, citizens band together in solidarity and demand their rights are respected. the right to protest is human right protected by article 11 of the human rights act. however, on the ground, politicians like the uk home secretary are creating an environment of haid where support for the palestinian people is being maliciously conflated with terrorism. here she advises the police to go outside of their scope. of prescribed organizations and hate crime rhetoric stating, of course it is not just explicit prohamas symbols and chance that are cause for concern. i would encourage police to consider whether chance such as from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, should be understood as an expression of violent desire to see israel erased from the world, behaviors that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example, the waving of a palestinian flag may no

their hate filled protests, anti-semitism that we have seen in these protests is disgusting and we needy. rachel, over to you. rachel: we will get to your headlines. las vegas hotel workers will not go on strike after caesars entertainment and mgm reached tentative deals and the bartenders union. the big deals including pay raises, better benefit including working conditions, 7 months of negotiation. vote on the contract are expected in the next two weeks and in honor of veterans day, george w. bush hosted his ninth annual warrior bike ride in texas. he joined veterans making their way across his family's ranch in crawford to honor their service and sacrifice. he delivered a message to veterans facing mental health struggles. >> my dream is every vet living in darkness can figure out how to live and learn and be able to utilize their full potential. rachel: we will have an interview with the former commander in chief. coming up get ready to pack your patriotism with these all-american bags. how they benefit our bravest is next. next, the u.s. navy band is live on fox square, honoring ou

dealing with the protest, whether _ experience? dealing with the protest, whether in - experience?protest, whether in 2020 - experience? dealing with the protest, whether in 2020 or| protest, whether in 2020 or subsequently in 2021 was one of the really key challenges that the police service had to face. as i think i have said or alluded to a number of times, once we were having to do what we are having to do to support the covid response, we equally had to say all of that against the backdrop of normal policing responsibilities that we would carry on policing, you mentioned earlier about the morale of officers. it important for people to understand how that felt for police officers where we are in a pandemic, where we are talking about the requirement for people to remain distanced and then being told to go and police are protest. we did an enormous of work with scientists and others to really try and understand the safety implications, both of the protesters and for the police officers. i remember one particular meeting where we had a number of scientists, professor van tam chair

all right, let's bring - by the way, you go into this uh, i'm sure protest, right? heading out to one shortly in toronto where uh at least 10000 people are expected, and in addition to that, in small towns and cities across canada, there are other rallies that we are that are being held in fact, one in our locality as well, we hold that and then we head out to the big rally downtown in toronto, so there are massive rallies all over the world, number one, secondly, definitely these rallies are being

of the protesters well, in addition to protesters, there are supporters of china that have been liningoutes also. and if the chinese news media, i think it's quite likely, will be showing those and not the other protests. so to that extent, it depends on how much xi jinping wants to have this good relationship. and if he wants to have positive of a positive impression about what he's achieved, the chinese people might not even see these protests. >> such a great point. and of course, perception is often reality. but if you don't see what's happening, then of course your perception is shaped and boxed in in different ways very quickly before we have to let you go here, dr. park, as we sift through the just all of the headlines that we'll see in the coming hours, learning more about exactly what was discussed between biden and xi, what's the one thing that you'll be looking for? >> i think what i'm looking for is what they say about about whether they feel like it was a productive meeting, because this is clearly be it's going to be the first of many meetings. and so if they come out and

well, uh, we have. had a big protest uh that was inside of union station. as i said, union station is an important central mass transit hub here in toronto, the busiest and largest in all of canada. it's where there is cross-country uh rail, there's also just the toronto uh public transit that connects everything, so since then uh in recent minutes uh people have come out, the protesters came out of the station, now they're outside just to try to make other voices heard a little a bit further now that rush hour is over, but what they're trying to say is that you know it's been now over one month since uh since the constant bombardment of gaza began and that the protest will not stop until the genocide stops, until the daily slaughter of innocent people, innocent palestinian stops. like i said, this was action that was organized by uh several jewish organizations, canadian jewish organizations with the support of the palestinian youth movement, which has been the primary organization here, that is always bringing people out in very large numbers, we've seen

we will be monitoring those protests all evening. liz, a lot of questions about this summit, whether present biden and president xi would agree to anything, but it looks like they have made a deal at least on two key topics. back to you. >> it will be interesting to see in his press conference, which is expected at any moment now, we will be monitoring that. also, some of the events into this evening in san francisco. ryan, thank you so much. >>> another notable meeting today at apec. governor gavin newsom sat down with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. they met and talked about topics where they believe canada and california are on the same page. issues like climate change and human rights. they did not, however, take any questions from the media. >>> and governor newsom was one of several high profile speakers at the apec ceo summit at the moscone center. condoleezza rice spoke about geopolitics. we also heard speeches from president marcos of the philippines and exxon mobil ceo darren woods. and supporters of a cease-fire in

hundreds of protesters here., those busses brought a lot of these supporters that you see with the chinese flags, a lot of them wearing red hats here, wearing red. they are here to support this meeting between president xi and president biden. i just spoke to someone who said they support this because they want to see a friendly relationship between the two countries and they think that is better for them as people who live in america, who are of chinese descent. that's better for their families, who live back in china. they want to see a friendly relationship between the two. so they're very happy to see that president xi is here , going to be meeting with president biden. now, there is a second group here and you could see some of them have signs against the ccp, the communist, the chinese communist party. they are not happy with president xi. they are not happy with the way that he is treating people in china. they have a cartoons of him on signs. they have, you know, inappropriate signs with him on them. so t

. protesters. >> not really . protesters. >> not really. that the metropolitan police are facing . they've police are facing. they've always said that. and of course, there are elements , but by no there are elements, but by no means all. but there are elements within the counter protests who are also go out potentially to cause trouble as well as the police said, though, this is not one cohesive group. there are lots of different people that are represented from different groups and some are less favourable and friendly towards the police than others . towards the police than others. so what i'm told from the metropolitan police is that although those incidents were a little bit ugly for a while, they were over very quickly indeed. they were over very quickly indeed . and those people have indeed. and those people have dispersed quite a few of them i think, to the pub. but but for the time being, at least that's less of an issue. however if some of those counter—protests do try to make their way up towards this area or even somewhere where

um, what can you tell us about these kind of protests across the muslim world? yeah, um, so the the protests that have been taken place aren't just across the muslim world, we've also noticed all of these protests taking place in europe, for instance, in london, where we had over 500,0 people marching together to stand in solidarity with the palestinian people, and the way i sort of measure the effective. these protests and these boycots is by looking at the reaction of elites, look at the reaction of the israeli lobby, look at the reaction of suwella braverman for example, by trying to ban the palestinian flag, or for instance the reaction of key starma that um that fired andy mcdonald for simply asking for a ceasfire, these are sort extreme measures and and the reaction from these um from from the israeli lobby and from western governments goes to show how effective these protests are, and that's because as well the the israeli regime will you know will attempt as hard as they can to make sure that the um western public opinion remains pro israel, so when this

what caused all of this was protests and was protesters that stopped their own vehicles. we are not sure what the status is of the vehicles. earlier we saw tow trucks making their way onto the bridge and removing those but from what we have heard, there is close to 100 protesters and those cars need to be removed to relieve the congestion and it has been well over an hour. we did get word in that chp is running a press conference at 10:00 and. as this information comes in, we will bring it to you. if you're trying to make your way into the city this morning, do not get on that bay bridge. try to use alternate routes or bart. are you seeing any delays with bart? you have been monitoring and you mentioned the very system. we are coming off a week where we talked about bart on the brink and try to imagine the bay area without bart. and today it is an option to get into the bay area into san francisco. >> out of the east bay. bart already had extra trains running through downtown to help with the extra traffic and people heading in and out of san francisco for the apec form.

the protest were held in sydney, cape town, london, paris. and several other european capitals, the protesters condemned the regime's brutalities against people in gaza. assalamualaikum, peace be upon you and welcome to i on islam, the show where we look at current affairs through an islamic lens. each week we consider a trending new story and we break it down from an islamic perspective. this week, our hearts, thoughts and prayers are still focused. on the people of palestine amits israel's ongoing attempt a genocide of the people of gazza. the israelis have now launched their ground invasion, but are facing stiff resistance, incurring major losses before they've even reached into major urban areas. in this episode we will be exploring the outpooring of support for gazza from across the muslim umma, and compare that to the ridiculous positions taken by the rulers of most of those nations. we begin by having a look at which mus governments have relations with the zionist entity, and which ones still stead fastly refuse to normalize? ever since the founding of the zionist entity in 1948, its le

it has been quite a peaceful protest so far, quite a peaceful protest so far, quite a peaceful protesthow has the police presence been at the us embassy? that is an interesting question. we have had 2000 police on duty, but they are actually standing quite far back because this has been relatively peaceful, but we know that they are waiting in the wings, that they are waiting in the wings, that it that they are waiting in the wings, thatitis that they are waiting in the wings, that it is a big police presence here, and we also know that sir mark rowley, and gold command, they were here before the demonstrators got here, talking to police officers before this operation began. they are in charge of one of the most difficult operations, they admits, of their career. they were seen here today as well. definitely a big police presence, but they are staying back at the moment. we can see people with flags and placards behind you. what have they been saying to you about their reasons for protesting today, what are some of the words on the placards? 0ne placards? one of the ones that i saw tha

, one of the biggest protests in history after the protest of the iraq war in 2003.ese hundreds of thousands of people come everyone called for one thing, a cease-fire, cease-fire now. he gives me a heartwarming feeling that my family, that children in gaza -- people follow the news coming care about the palestinians in gaza. and most importantly, no longer the mainstream media that seeks to dehumanize and demonize and provide a cover for israelis to commit atrocities against the palestinian people. it gives me a heartwarming feeling that people care about us and we'll keep protesting against israeli occupation coming against this aggression. i think these protests are doing a great job. we have seen many of the politicians have changed their tone when it comes to gaza. we have seen calls from president macron which is very good and i think it is in the right direction. people, when they protest, i think eventually the government will have to listen to them and stop its onslaught on gaza. amy: can you talk about the politics of what is happening in london? this massi

, to ban the call off the protest, to ban the protest there are staffing protest if there are staffing isn't able to resource the policing of it. now, at the moment, mark rowley is saying that the protest will go ahead. he hasn't indicated that they'll be banned and he's saying that every resource, every legal measure at his disposal will be deployed to make that that these make sure that that these marches don't stray into obscene , as boris johnson puts it, or or disrespects . and to make sure or disrespects. and to make sure that they stay away from the senate half whether that's going to happen , whether mark rowley to happen, whether mark rowley in the coming days, will back down and actually call off the protest because of resourcing issues. protest because of resourcing issues . it remains to be seen. issues. it remains to be seen. but as you say, there is certainly some tension at the moment between the prime minister and the home secretary on who have on the one side who have said that the march going that they think the march going ahead would be hugely disrespectful to mark

protester -- another protester -- yeah, actually it was and another protester -- everyone posts and that'swill make a difference honestly. another protester -- everyone else is sharing it, that's how the message is getting out. >> the algorithm is doing its thing, i think it's my you see online young people more likely to support palestine effectively in many cases, hamas in this conflict. i saw a clip from london the other day where people interviewed have not even heard about october 7, didn't know about it. they assumed it came out of nowhere, but protest israel for some reason. meanwhile here at home, nypd put up statistics from october last month, there's an uptick in a significant one in hate crimes come up confirmed hate crimes just in new york city last month although 70% of them for against jews. the administration is about islamic phobia right now but 70% of these hate crimes targeting jews in new york city last night in new york city to help celebrate veterans day you had mask pro- hamas agitators literally tearing down american flags and i just wonder the united states and unit

there are probably about 100 protesters out here who have been protesting what they call the genocidechp has asked us to stay in this position because they say the area is going to fill up as they make arrests and they put the people here to try to reopen the bay bridge. the shutdown during the morning commute has been horrific. >> ceasefire now! >> reporter: what does shutting down the bay bridge have to do with that? >> business as usual can't continue. >> reporter: these people who you're interfering with had nothing to do with it. >> everyone in america is complicit. >> reporter: how can you say that? >> because we are funding israel. >> reporter: people are just trying to get to their jobs. they're just people like you and me, aren't they? >> everyone should find it disgusting that children are dying, that 11,000 people have been killed, that there's bombardment on hospitals. it's been one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen. >> reporter: you're obviously okay with being arrested. >> it's for palestine. [indiscernible] >> the live shot breaking up there, but fascinating

there have been protesters throughout the morning and evening, and at one point the protesters did turn a little unruly. let's take a listen. yeah, this scuffle between anti-communist demonstrators and people they thought was pro china, and other choices were pro hong kong and protaiwan views, and let's go back inside the filoli estate, and president biden is approaching the podium, from what we understand. let's take a look inside there as he will describe what was happening at that table with the negotiations. sergio quintana was in the room. you can see some of the white house officials and some of the international delegation officials there seated and taking their seats in woodside. again, president biden, as soon as he wraps up the comments here is expected to leave woodside, get in his motorcade and travel up interstate 280 and come to the city in san francisco where he's expected at a big event at the embarcadero at the exploratorium. president xi is also coming back to san francisco where he will be hosting a dinner with various ceos from around the united states. we believe ma

again, a small protest, the weather playing its part in tamping down that protest it seems, it was pouringh rain earlier, as those protesters gathered. so what we've seen over this week so far, trace, has been a very vocal protest but generally they have the protesters have heeded police instructions to march where they're allowed to march, to gather where they're allowed to gather and there have been no major issues so far, at least in terms of those protests getting out of hand, trace. >> trace: and we have been told there's more rain coming towards san francisco and of course more protests. jonathan hunt, back to you as the news warrants. meantime china is facing some economic head winds some of the worst in decades. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with how that impacted today's talks. kevin good evening. >> reporter: evening trace, indeed china's economy arguably facing its biggest challenge in decades, growth has slowed the housing sector heavily indebted and perhaps worst of all foreign capitol is fleeing the country and that say experts is a reflex of gro

more protests are held in the world calling for an end to the israeli war on gaza and its brutalities there. and iran says that it has no role in the recent attacks by resistance groups on us forces in west asia. hello and welcome everybody, it's 4:30 p.m. here in the iranian capital 1 watching press's world news our top story for this half hour. 35 days in counting since israel unleashed its onslot on the gaza strip hospitals and civilian areas w the prime target of the regime's relentless air attacks in its latest strikes israel targeted the al-shifa medical complex in gaza city, killing 13 people. rights groups have raised concerns about the safety of civilian sheltering at el shifa hospital, the groups. say they found no evidence to prove tel aviv's claim that headquarters of palestinian resistance moving hamas is located under the hospital. israel has also hit areas near several more hospitals in gaza in its latest attacks. the regime's onslot has so far killed nearly 11,00 palestinians mostly women and children. israel is also pressing ahead with its ground invasion in gaza forc
