in for ali velshi on assignment in south africa, and this is real money. sooin our live conversation for the next half hour on twitter at a.j. real money. two weeks before christmas we have upbeat news tonight shoppers in november shelled out more money than expected retail sales rose .7 of 1% in last month, that is the biggest gain in five months, and that follows an increase of .6 of 1% in october. higher than first reported. the jump of 2.2%, and that did not include sales from cyber monday, which was in december. auto and auto parts dealers as well as building materials and garden equipment stores al delivered good numbers with sales climbing one pointed 8%. and sales at furniture retailers drew more than 1% in november. now, it's not all good news. after gaining 2.6% in october that decline is one reason that some analysts believe november's strong overall gains were not necessarily fueled by holiday shoppers. overall spending for the thanksgiving weekend was expected to fall from 2012. the first decline in spending since 2009. so while there's no questi

with stable air acting as a lid, today is a spare the air today, so that going on for today with alychange in the forecast. that means you cannot burn in the fireplace unless you're exempt. it is freezing in santa rosa. you may find patches of fog. around the bay it's relatively mild. let's head to the north and take a look at temperatures here. walnut creek 36. for the second half of the afternoon, temperatures a lot like yesterday. temperatures will continue to trend upward. i think one of the warmest days will fall on christmas day. i'll have a look at your extended forecast coming up. >>> we want to talk about an accident here, possibly a big rig overturned on its side in oakland 880. that would be in the southbound direction. again 98th avenue east on-ramp, a big rig on its side. this is a look at our map so you can see we do have a couple accidents in the area, but everything looking pretty good in the union city stretch. if we head over to the peninsula, roadways looking pretty clear. let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza. traffic moving nicely into san francisco. no delays.

ali is here. he is bringing in all of your live feedback. waj soany people take these prescriptions sometimes for decades at a time and some don't bother to ask if there are risks. >> yeah, a lot of tweets have been coming in . . . and the tweets have been coming in. lot of opinion on this. >> yeah. four out of five sexually active women have taken birth control pills at some point in their life. but a new wave of criticism claims women are under social pressure to take the pill without fully understanding the effects it has on their health. some say it could even be life threatening, but is this criticism grounded in fact. we're joining by a professor from george washington university, and psychologist, senior legal analyst at rh reality check which offers news and analyst on sexual issues. thanks so all of you for being here. so doctor, i want to start with you. are the first control pills of today vastly different from those say from just a decade ago? >> they are. when birth control pills became popular in the 60s and '70s, the dosing was reall

so it doesn't quite fit what's happening in america. in the days, we had a summit with top athletes. talk to muhammad alis we didn't call. so if i today call that someone all over, there would be some athletes i wouldn't call. kobe would be one of them. >> now kobe bryant responded. he tweeted, and i will quote here, a global african-american is an inferior shade of american african-americans. that doesn't sound very mandela or dr. king to me, terrence. what do you think jim brown meant when he said kobe is confuse bed culture? >> lossesa, first you have to understand that jim brown is the greatest running back that ever livered. but he always preferred to talk about social issues instead of stuff that took place on the field or on the court or on the ice or what have you. i know jim brown. and some of the deepest conversations i've ever had with anybody in the 35 plus years i've been a professional journalist have been with jim brown. just earlier this year we talked for over an hour about his displeasure about black athletes who don't fully understand what he did, what muhammad ali did, jackie robinson

so, i put that in the same category of meeting others such as mohammad ali and others growing up in the family of martin luther king, so i was part of that experience for me. >> what were some of the characteristics you saw that were common to your uncle, dr. martin luther king, as well as nelson mandela? >> i would say that my uncle was always a peaceful warrior. he fought for peace, justice. he wanted to end oppression. but he held on to that his whole life. of course, nelson mandela only acquired some of those qualities later in life. however, i believe they both went through the fire. i believe that they were forged to beeaders and to resist oppression, and martin luther king, jr. fought for that here in america, and nelson mandela fought so hard in south africa, but those two movements did finally meet, and i think that was their commonality. >> i think both of these men were nobel peace prize winners. both remarkable in that they overcame extraordinary odds of racism, and in for nelson mandela, national apartheid. when he came out of prison he came out different. filled with humil

nelson mandela wanted to meet with mohamed ali and sydney party a -- sidney poitier, i went outside to insideali and poitier the mayor's office. my heart was beating soast i went outside and secured them, as i had been told. doori opened the security that led to the mayor's office, and the entourage saw ali and them,r walking toward i cannot explain the dancing and the chance and the love and the joy and the full ecstasy in that hallway as we walked to nelson mandela and winnie mandela. it is not about the breath that we take but the moments that take our breath away, those precious memories. thise relieved -- relived countless times. when i remember this i get joy, unspeakable. i started friendships with two iconic americans, and my life and work have been greatly influenced and enriched by their friendship. with nelson mandela, i did not have a conversation with him, but i did get a handshake and a hug. what can be more inspiring for a 25-year-old african-american male wanting to make a meaningful contribution to society? this has meant more to me than words could ever express. as nelson mandela was dancing with mortality, we were asked to keep the

so we saw him a year ago. >> he had something to do with mohammed ali.o see the two of them together -- >> it was a very special night. i was visiting with him up at the waldorf. he was in rocky shape even then. i said, i have a night. you think i can see some of my friends before i go? robert de niro, the celebrated actor, people don't understand how generous he is and what a great philanthropist he is, but he hosted mandela at the request of our great mayor when he first came at the tribeca as part of the june visit. i said, you want to end it with us? on that may evening in 2005, it was a very sweet night and we reenacted the boxing picture ali and him.-- it was a very sweet night. was at a occasion, i luncheon seated next to mohammed ali. when he spoke of the honorees, service to others is a rent that you pay for space on earth. i was so moved by that i was going to -- i wrote it down. i always use it now and i speak at a funeral or memorial. it fits nelson mandela so well -- service to others is the rent you pay for space on earth. i say, the deceas

david will be talking about this and much more at the top of the hour, he is in for ali velshi, great to see you, so how robust were these? pretty strong. they have been warning of lower seams between thank giving and christmas, cold weather keeping people home, and so many congress supers holding out last minute deals. compare sod the very same time period last year, and that's more than double the gains that were seen in 2012. so a lot stronger. >> what about on line shopping? >> also grew by leaps and bounds. computer desk tops sales that are made just over a computer desk top, those jumped 10%. but stephanie, that doesn't even include the one third to one half of all online sales that are now being done on mobile devices, so the overall number will be much higher when it comes out. >> what else will you be looking at? >> one factor, is not enough young people are creating new households. and then rents or buys it is bad news for their parents it is also bad news for the rest of us, we will explain at 7:00 p.m. eastern time right here. all right, looking forward to it. >> in u.k. figures show a l
