this. good morning and happy friday. it is november 4th. this is your manhatt"a.m. wake- call," i'm carol costello. one of the women accusing the republican presidential candidate of sexual harassment may issue a statement later today. her lawyer says she would rebut cain's denials of any sexual advances when the woman worked for cain at the national restaurant association in the late '90s. she's one of three women who have accused cain of inappropriate behavior. cain repeatedly denied the allegations but has acknowledged at least one severance payment was made to an accuser. in a radio interview with sean hannity, mccain vowed to press ahead with his campaign. >> i can assure you this, sean, this will not deter me. this businessman will not be deterred in his drive to basically feel what i'm supposed to be doing, which is to win this nomination and win the presidency. >> politico.com first broke the story on sunday and since then cain has given conflicting accounts on the allegations which have raised questions about just exactly happened and the ability of his campaign to handle a crisis. in another major development today, a los angeles jury will begin debilitating the fate of michael jackson's doctor after a six-week manslaughter trial. in closing arguments yesterday, the prosecution said the evidence is overwhelming that dr. conrad murray caused jackson's death by giving him an overdose of propofol. the defense contends that jackson gave himself that fatal dose. the city of oakland, california is getting back to normal today, a far cry from thursday when 7,000 protesters have shut down the port. a small group threw rocks, bottles and shot fireworks at police officers. police retaliated with tear gas. more than 100 people were arrested. across the country in new york, an occupy protest with a twist. dozens of protesters rejected an offer from the district attorney to drop their cases in six months if they were not arrested again. instead, they opted to go to trial. the october unemployment report is due out at 8:30 eastern this morning. and it's not expected to be very encouraging. economists surveyed by cnn money believe the october rate will hold steady at 9.1%. they also expect that about 98,000 jobs will be added. that's fewer than 103,000 jobs created in september. political turmoil grips greece this morning and the ramifications from what happens over the next few hours cold jolt financial markets around the world. the greek prime minister, george papandreou faces a vote today. many greeks oppose the plan because of its tough belt tightening measures, adding to the upheaval, an 07 sigs leader's call for the prime minister to resign and hold a snap election. >> translator: we're asking you to resign in order to give the power to the greek people to give the power to a new prime minister and negotiate new measures. >> papandreou says stepping down would be irresponsible. remember aig, the giant insurer that was saved by going belly up by a massive government bailout three years ago? well, aig is back in the red. it posted a $4.1 billion quarterly loss. the company's ceo attributed it to declines in the value of mortgage investments. changes at its aircraft landing unit and a writedown in a stake in a former asian subsidiary. in 2008, the government helped the company get back on its feet with a loan to the tune of $280 billion. the company has been slowly paying that back. let's head to atlanta and check in with rob marciano. >> we might have travel delays today. the winds are kicking up out west and across parts of the southwest. that's where we may see some stuff, phoenix, los angeles, las vegas and san francisco. if you're traveling to those areas, be aware. if you're in the mid-atlantic, rain heavy at times. this is the storm that brought snow to colorado, wyoming, nebraska and kansas. now moving in through the delmarva. the good news is for the folks in the northeast this will likely stay to the south. behind it cold air, morning lows in the 30s and 20s and we have freeze watches and warnings out. san antonio, chilly this morning, 39. 33 degrees, a degree above the freezing mark in the lone star state capital there. 06 degrees, the expected high temperature in memphis. up to 65 in dallas. a nice rebound. definitely chilly, very fall air. all right. wanted to talk briefly about what's going on this weekend. big doings. fall back, turning back, gain an air of sleep saturday night. change your clocks. also a good idea to change the batteries in your fire and smoke alarms. hey, ever want to jump over a car just because? this young man out of milwaukee, wisconsin has made a life out of it. 23-year-old aaron evans has set the "guinness book of world records" by doing this apparently over three cars. i think this video just shows one. maybe it's three consecutively. nonetheless, they've done a study on this guy, carol, the university of wisconsin out of milwaukee, a professor says he has, quote, an innate ability to jump. obviously. he has keen spatial awareness, where he is in space and just the insanity to even try this. that's what the scientists say why this guy has a gift to jump over cars. obviously style points as well, doing a somersault in midair? >> absolutely. that's insane. >> your friday morning video. >> we enjoyed that. thank you, rob. >> okay, carol. thanks to an old buddy, conan o'brien is the occupy wall street protester's turn. here's your punch line. >> look at these kids. you guys are married? where did you register? >> tell me, sir, what is your cause besides protesting the high price of scooby snacks? what happens if the police come in here, it's going to be a serious blood bath or even worse for you, a regular bath. you see, because you're filthy. >> this is perfect. he is in deep contemplative state. he won't have any idea that i'm pooping on him. heraldo rivera, fox news. you should hurry back from lunch so you can collect your hurry back from lunch bonus. >> which percent of your diet is dedicated dedicated to caramel? >> i love that. today you will google differently and you probably won't even noticed. why google has changed its search formula. that's coming your way next. but first, a lot of people think spending in washington is out of control, including the person in our quote of the day. quote, washington is full of sacred cows that supposedly can't be slaughtered and electrified third rails that allegedly can't be touched. end quote. find out who said that in 90 seconds. it's 8 minutes past the hour. but i learned there's something more i can do. now, i take care with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you have certain stomach or glaucoma problems, or trouble emptying your bladder, do not take vesicare. vesicare may cause allergic reactions that may be serious. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, stop taking vesicare and get emergency help. tell your doctor right away if you have severe abdominal pain, or become constipated for three or more days. vesicare may cause blurred vision, so use caution while driving or doing unsafe tasks. common side effects are dry mouth, constipation, and indigestion. so why wait ?

it was republican presidential candidate mitt romney. he wrote that in a column for "usa today." the article previews remarks he'll make later today in washington. it goes on to say, we must act now or the debt will lead to unimaginable peril. type in google, do a barrel roll. when you do, the screen tumbles in a circle like an airplane barrel roll. the trick only works on the latest web browsers. google created it to showcase the capability of modern browsers. that's not all google's been up to lately. let's move to hong kong and kristie lu stout. there are changes at google, many people will probably not even notice. >> i noticed but i'm a geek that way. google has changed its algorithm. many of us have been turning to places that include more social media results. the demand is there for google to serve fresher results. that is what google is try here. it's been in once before, back in 2009 when it introduced google realtime research. with this new algorithm, google will include posts from its own social network google plus. the new google is faster, fresher and it keeps it all in the google family. back to you. >> i'm going to try it later. let's talk about the iphone 4s. some people are quite frustrated with the battery problems. what's apple going to do? >> yes, apple has confirmed that there have been a few issues with the iphone 4s. a small number of customers have complained about poor battery life. apple says it will release a software update to address that in a few weeks. siri, the voice assistant has lost her voice. a service outage was reported on thursday and queue snarky apple users. one apple user quoted with the siri outage, everyone's iphone 4s is downgraded to an iphone 4 with a better camera. siri is now back up and running. >> maybe she was just tired. >> that's right. you know, just laryngitis, poor thing. she needs a rest. >> she's going to get a new battery and that's a good thing. kristie lu stout, reporting live from hong kong. many thanks. five days and counting, the herman cain sexual harassment scandal shows no signs of letting up. how long could this cloud hang over herman cain before there's a political fallout?

we had jobs, the economy was booming. >> wow. time now for your political ticker with tim farley, host of morning briefing on sirius potus live from washington. good morning, tim. >> good morning, car. >> we're not going to talk about what jimmy kimmel just said. >> absolutely not. >> today one of herman cain's accusers is expected to release a statement defending her claim that he sexually harassed her in the 1990s. there's been no letup in the scandal since politico broke the story on sunday. this story has legs, tim, and it will likely continue through the weekend. is it a safe bet to say the longer it goes the more it will hurt cain's campaign? >> of course. because it's a distraction. although you look at fund-raising numbers, polling numbers, the latest rasmussen poll, it shows herman cain still holds a lead over mitt romney. they've raised over $1 million since this first hit. this is one of those things i'm sure he'd like to put it behind him. he keeps bringing it up and talking about it. i had a conversation with ed rollins yesterday. he reminded me of something that happened in geraldine ferraro when she was running in 1994. she held a two-hours news conference and answered every question. that pretty much put it to rest. there's another front-page story in "the washington post" that says herman cain exhibited signs of this prickly personality when he was head of the nra. >> geraldine ferraro was on the losing team, but we digress. >> yes, exactly. the damage had been done. but she had to hand it'll at some point. >> let's turn to rick perry now, the republican presidential candidate is denying speculation he was drunk or on pain medications during the now infamous speech in new hampshire last friday. as you know, a clip of that speech went viral. over a million hits. here are a couple of the more quirky moments. >> my plan is pretty simple. it does deductions for the mortgage deductions, for charitable. yep, keep that in there and your state and local taxes are in there. put those on 12,500 forever dependent that you have. easy math, subtract it, send it in. it's awesome. why not? that little plan that i just shared with you doesn't force the granite state to expand your tax footprint. you know what i mean? like 9% expansion. >> so cnn's john king talked to perry last night. and he asked him about that speech. here's what perry said. >> i have no idea how -- i haven't seen it. i know the speech that i gave and it was well received, had an appropriate number of applause lines and standing ovation at the end of it. such people as dan bowles with "the washington post" was there. he was tweeting about it, to my understanding, he said, spot on, he's hitting on the right -- i have no idea how these things get started, what have you. it was a good speech, well received. if i had the opportunity to do it again, i'd probably give it exactly like i gave it. >> gloria borger, one of our political analysts said yesterday, tim, during that interview with john king, rick perry was relaxed, like the old rick perry. maybe he can get over that unfortunate speech. >> yes. here's the -- two things that strike me about this, carol. you remember the primal scream of howard dean in 2004. people in the room didn't realize that was a problem. when you talked to the campaign manager, nobody realized until they saw how it played on television. being in the room and watching it from afar are two different things. the other is that frankly, a lost viral stuff, people interpret it in a certain way. there was a speech that max baucus was giving, the chair of one of the budget committees, the finance committee in the senate, during the horrible days of trying to get through the health care law. he was speaking after 18-hour days and they went viral with a video saying he was drunk, which he was not. being in the room will give you a different perspective from somebody on the outside. i think rick perry is being rick perry this case and authenticity is not one of his problems. the question is whether or not that's the authentic guy you want in the white house. >> unfortunately those 1 million people watching that youtube clip were not in the room. >> that's for sure. >> we'll see. tim farley, thanks so much. tim farley, host of "morning briefing" on sirius potus radio. >> thank you. cuba, the reforms that could fundamentally change its economy. details next. first, make sure you soundproof judgment based on a simple perception of facts otherwise known as common sense. it is national use your common sense day. the day is on will rogers' birthday because he said common sense ain't all that common. 21 minutes past the hour. the way i always made it for you. one more thing.... those pj's you like, i bought you five new pairs. love you. did you see the hockey game last night? [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. 23 minutes past the hour. it's been called the biggest annual gathering of humanity there is as muslims from around the world participate in the hajj pilgrimage. let's go to zain vergee. >> it is really an amazingly huge gathering. the biggest of muslims around the world, more than 2.5 million will travel to mecca. every muslim is expected once in their lifetime to do this pilgrimage. it's a spiritual cleansing, spiritual enlightenment. some people call it a spiritual boot camp. it's filled with specific and, for many people, emotional rituals. here's the new thing that's going on this year, saudi arabia is going to stream this ancient ritual live on the internet. so you are actually going to be able to see it being streamed on november 5th, actually is when it's going to happen. and people can tune in from around the world and comment. this is in shareef. this is the direction they face toward in the grand mosque. saudi arabia, getting it on the internet. >> gotcha. let's talk about cuba. this is really amazing for cuba, that is, that people can boy and sell real estate? >> yep. you can buy real estate now. this new law could reshape the country's economy. don't get too excited and see whether or not you can afford a nice patch of beach property in cuba, carol. hold your horses a little bit. on taking a closer look here, actually only cuban citizens or foreigners with permanent residency in cuba can buy any property. even then, the real estate market what they're putting out is quite limited. the other thing, too, carol, anyone who buys property or real estate has to swear under oath that they do not own any other property. >> what? >> those are the caveats. we have to see how it goes. it's uncertain what this whole creating a housing market in cuba is actually going to play out. don't get too excited just yet. >> okay, i'll hold my excitement in. thank you very much, zain vergee, live in london. coming up, the texas judge caught on tape beating his daughter will not face charges. the daughter is speaking out to cnn and the man known as the black box of the gadhafi regime details the final days of the former libyan leader. that's just ahead.
