president obama joins european leaders all working to deal with the crisis threatening the eurozone and, of course t global economy. for the first time we're hearing from the young woman who posted a video online of her father beating her. why did she do it seven years after the fact? good morning. it is thursday, november 3rd. this is your a.m. wake-up call. it's 5:00 eastern time. breaking news out of oakland, california. major developments in the occupy wall street protests. parts of the city look like a war zone right now. police fired teargas in an effort to remove several hundred occupy protesters who said they ignored orders to disperse. we have no information on possible injuries. the protesters were the remnants of thousands who yesterday carried through a threat to shut down the city in the port of oakland, the nation's fifth busiest port. mayor time operations had been effectively shut down. the port will reopen as soon as it's safe to do so. most downtown streets remain closed this morning. the scandal dogging herman cain's campaign for the white house is growing bigger and more acrimonious by the day. the lawyer for one of the women accusing the republican presidential candidate of sexual harassment says he will ask the national restaurant association to allow him to issue a statement on his client's behalf. cain led the lobbying group in the 1990s and is accused of making unwanted sexual overtures to at least three female employees. yesterday cain accused a consultant with ties to republican rival rick perry's campaign with leaking the allegations in a bid to destroy his presidential bid. a perry spokesman calls the charge reckless an false. the perry campaign in turn suggests the mitt romney campaign could be behind the leak. romney forces call the assertions not true t. associated press is reporting that a third former employee of the national restaurant association says cain made sexually suggestive remarks and invited her to his apartment. herman cain for his part strongly denied any wrongdoing ever since the story first broke on sunday. he's trying to carry out his campaign events as if the allegations had never surfaced. that approach seemed to collapse yesterday when he became visibly irritated when pressed by reporters on the controversy. >> let me say one thing. i'm here with these doctors, and that's what i'm going to talk about. so don't even bother asking me all these other questions that you all are curious. don't even bother. >> but are you concerned about the fact that these women -- >> what did i say? >> are you concerned about -- >> excuse me. excuse me! what part of no don't people understand? >> a new quinnipiac university poll shows cain leading the gop field with 30% support among registered republicans. that poll was conducted almost entirely before news of the allegations came out. president obama in france this morning to attend the g-20 economic summit. mr. obama arrived in niese a short time ago. looming large over the meeting is the surprise move by the greek prime minister, george popandreou, to allow greek voters to decide to accept a bailout plan to prevent the company from defaulting on its debt. the summit brings together the leaders of the world's largest industrial nations. two are expected to brief reporters near the bottom of this hour, 5:30 eastern time. we'll bring you those remarks live when they happen. the leaders of france and germany are mincing no words when it comes to the greek prime minister. in a meeting yesterday they bluntly warned that greece might get kicked out of the eurozone if greek voters reject the european bailout plan. prime minister pom dre' oh, however, says he's confident voters will support the bailout plan. before the referendum, expect it to be early next month, popandreou must first survive a vote of no confidence in parliament. that happens tomorrow. let's head to atlanta and check in with reynolds wolf. good morning, reynolds. >> good morning. let's talk of the possible delays you'll have. unfortunately, yes, there will be quite a few. in chicago, we may have backups there, detroit same story. delays just under an hour due to the possibility of thunderstorms and wind. i'm saying possibility, it's all but a certainty. same story in st. louis and memphis, morning thunderstorms. wind is also going to kick in through the afternoon as the frontal boundary comes through. in dallas you have the wind that may keep you grounded at all your major airports. delays just under an hour. here is the big weather maker, it's a system that extends clear from the great lakes back south of the great plains. we expect that to move eastward. that story will bring rain to spots like atlanta, nashville, back to charlotte, perhaps the nation's capital. right behind it, cool and breezy conditions and another storm system moves in the pacific northwest. that makes for rain in the valleys, but high in the wasatch range and also the cascades, might see a touch of snowfall. high temperatures, abracadabra. 70 in atlanta, 81 in tampa. new york, up to 59 degrees. how about that? it's your turn. let's toss it back to you, let's just give it back to you in new york. how about that? >> that's good. >> my mind is still on baseball. season is long gone. >> i always want to make a catch in the outfield when you say that. >> i know. it's time to stop this. >> thanks for the 59 degrees in new york. i'm looking that. >> we do what we can. >> see you later reynolds. he denies it strongly. a woman accuses justin bieber of fathering her 3-month-old baby. enough fuel for late night comedians, right? here is your punch line. >> just a quick programming note. justin bieber will not be here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] apparently he had to go tape a last-minute appearance on "maury." >> a 20-year-old california woman has filed a lawsuit against justin bieber alleging he is the father of her 3-month-old baby boy. they say the kid looks exactly like him. actually the kid looks a lot older. actually the kid looks older. >> some more celebrity news today, a judge sentenced lindsay lohan to 30 days in jail for violating her probation. or as kim kardashian put it, 30 days, that's like four marriages. a long time. wireless companies are usually competing for your business. but there's one theory of the case forcing several of them to get on the same page. we'll explain. first, our quote of the day. quote, no country can get ahead of it when it leaves half of its people behind, end quote. find out who said that in 90 seconds. it's seven minutes past the hour. men and uh pandas... elbows mmm [ male announcer ] wanchai ferry, try it yourself. your doctor will say get smart about your weight. i tried weight loss plans... but their shakes aren't always made for people with diabetes. that's why there's new glucerna hunger smart shakes. they have carb steady, with carbs that digest slowly to help minimize blood sugar spikes. and they have 6 grams of sugars. with 15 grams of protein to help manage hunger... look who's getting smart about her weight.

past the hour. welcome back. after herman cain made interesting comments about china and nuclear weapon, some people like stephen colbert are questioning how much he really knows. here is your punch line. >> i do view china as a potential military threat. they've indicated they've tried to develop nuclear capability. >> nation, we cannot allow china to develop nukes, especially since they developed them in 1964. i am telling you, if you don't act fast, they might end up building a wall to keep foreigners out. what? no! >> you think i'm dumb enough not to study up on these issues? i've been studying up on these issues for months. >> exactly, he has been studying up on these issues for months. he just hasn't worked his way up to the chapter on the 1960s yesterday. i can't wait to hear his plan on how to get us out of vietnam. stay strong, herman cain. if you get stuck in a next interview, remember, the answers are in the back of the book. >> wow. not a good time for herman cain. now it's time for your political ticker with tim farley, host of "morning briefing" on sirius potus live from washington. morning. >> bonjour, carol. >> thank you. >> cannes, why not. >> let's talk about per man cain. he's having one bad week. things have gotten so bad, he's openly showing frustration and getting testy with reporters who again sxd him about these sexual harassment allegations. this is what happened yesterday in virginia. >> let me say one thing. i'm here with these doctors, and that's what i'm going to talk about. so don't even bother asking me all of these other questions that you all are curious about. don't even bother. >> but are you concerned about the fact that these women do want -- >> what did i say? >> are you concerned about -- >> excuse me. excuse me! what part of "no" don't these people understand? >> tim, my guess, it's likely that conservatives will kind of like cain's expression of anger at reporters because he told them, i'm not answering any questions about that. of course, on the other side of the aisle people are saying, oh, my gosh, cain is losing it. >> yeah. it's still a better way to handle it. it reminds me, carol, and you've worked in washington, d.c. and you understand what the culture is like around here. but you've also been on earnings calls with ceos. herman cain is acting like one of the ceos. he's saying, i answered your questions, don't ask me anymore or he changes the answer and says he seems to be playing with facts here and there. i think the big question right here is what's going to happen politically. you mentioned the quinnipiac poll taken prior to this whole series of events taking place. my guess is rick perry is the beneficiary long term perhaps it will probably be mitt romney. but the sniping has not made the republican party look good. we've seen some reaction, michele bachmann has already been on the road saying we need no surprises with our candidates. jon huntsman has been attacking mitt romney and herman cain on policy, not so much on what's happening here. newt gingrich says if there's somebody to blame, somebody in one of the camps that made this come about, that person should be fired. it looks kind of childish right now for the republicans. my guess is remember man cain should figure out a way to go quietly for a few days and let this rest and hope something else takes over or have some big statement that just sort of lays it all out there and then say i've answered the questions, let's move on. it doesn't seem like he's looking at doing either right now. we'll see how it plays out. >> you know what's going to happen on thursday. one of the women who accused him all those years ago will put out a statement. she won't appear in person. she says she doesn't want to become another anita hill. she'll put out this statement, not detailing what happened, but at least saying, hey, in my mind these things did happen 12 years ago. >> one of the big problems here is that we keep seeing -- it's like the amelda marcos story, the shoes keep dropping. we see that happen. and we have an accusation by another anonymous person, another woman ap reported had been part of this. herman cain has to figure out a way to definitively state what happened so people are satisfied. people will try to ask questions. i think bill clinton effectively did this with the jennifer flowers incident in 1992. these are the kinds of things that will dog people. it's not that there's so much substance to it. it's just the way herman cain and his campaign are playing it, blaming whoever, it's taking away from whatever message he has to deliver. he has to do a better job of managing the situation. that's a key part of it right now. he's looking less presidential every day. that's one of the biggest problems for him. >> tim farley, host of "morning briefing" on sirius potus radio. thanks for joining us this morning. >> or voir. >> leaders are meeting on the french riviera trying to map out the future of the global economy. the u.s. and french presidents set to speak in a couple moments. we're take that live. let's head around the world with ali velshi who is live in cannes, france, the site of the g-20 summit. good morning, ali. >> good morning, carol. stormy around here. all cloudy, heavy winds, sort of setting the tone for the g-20 which, by the way, is just getting under way right now even though all the excitement was yesterday in the meetings between german chancellor angela merkel and french president sarkozy with the greek prime minister george popandreou. we have just heard that popandreou has called an emergency cabinet meeting for 10:00 local time which is 6:00 a.m. eastern time. they look like they're going ahead with this referendum for december 4th. basically the rest of the europeans have said to them, if you go ahead with this referendum, understand that it is a vote about whether or not greece remains in the eurozone, even though that's technically not what the referendum is about. it's about this bailout, this european rescue plan that was passed by the european union on october 27. all that other stuff about mapping out the global economy that the g-20 was supposed to be about has sort of taken a back seat to this whole issue of this european deal and greece and whether greece is going to go along with it and the uncertainty this is providing to investors and everyone else around the world. that's the backdrop we have of what's going on. moments from now we'll hear the president of the united states and nicolas sarkozy. france is the host country for the g-20. they meet about twice a year. the g-20 has been around since 2008, the financial crisis, basically the world coming together to try to have coordinated responses to bad things going on around the world. carol? >> i want to tell you to take cover because the weather looks bad. it's starting to look like the wizard of oz out there. >> a bit like hurricane coverage out here, i'll tell you. just across over there is the place where the cannes film festival is held. that's where they're having their meeting. everybody is sheltered except for us because that's what we reporters do, we like to stand outside when the weather is bat. >> i expect you any moment to say "anti em!" again, president obama and president sarkozy are expected to speak any minute. we'll bring you their comments live. coming up on "a.m. wake-up call," the jury hears closing arguments in the manslaughter case against michael jackson's former doctor. it's 23 minutes past the hour. in one... burgers and soup. did you hear him honey? burgers and soup. love you. they're cute. [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. it is 25 minutes past the hour. welcome back. closing arguments are expected today in the manslaughter trial against michael jackson's former doctor. if you missed any of it, casey wian gets you up to speed. >> reporter: dramatics moments at the conrad murray manslaughter trial including an audiotape of michael jackson slurring his words. and disturbing pictures of the singer's dead body. in court a procession of murray's former girlfriends and the constant presence of jackson family members. outside, supporters of both sides. several prosecution medical experts testified about the dangers of treating jackson's insomnia with the powerful anesthetic propofol, especially outside of a hospital. murray declined to take the stand. his former patients did. >> i'm alive today because of that man. >> do you have an opinion about whether dr. murray treats his patients with care and caution? >> i have never had a doctor that was more caring. >> reporter: prosecutors clashed with medical experts for the defense which sought to portray jackson as a drug addict who could have injected himself with propofol. >> is there a reason why it's so difficult for you to answer my questions and so easy to answer mr. chernoff. >> objection. >> reporter: suggest
