>> reporter: so, basically there was a famous indian guru that died almost 60 years ago. i guess his followers have been coming for the last decade to worship him, pray inside the mass so lee yum and they let them come in for that special day. they have never done this with michael jackson fans so they are upset. they said, you know what, they have always been respectful, peaceful an they are actually covering up michael's grave with a big screen so if anyone wants to sneak in and pose as a yoga, they will not be able to see michael jackson's grave. that will continue on and michael jackson fans are not allowed inside. >> so yogis can go but the rest stay out. okay. dax holt, thank you very much. the delay is killing us here. 6:30 on fox 5. look for you on tmz on tv. today a luncheon in d.c. to showcase selections for this year's event, 97 short films from 11 different countries. 11 were made in d.c. the festival runs from december 9th through the 16th at the landmark e street skin that may and burke theater. let's check in with brian for a look at the "news edge at 6:00". >> a driver learns a hard lesson in the district. there's oil out there we've got to capture. my job is to hunt it down. i'm fred lemond, and i'm in charge of bp's efforts to remove oil from these waters. bp has taken full responsibility for the cleanup and that includes keeping you informed. every morning, over 50 spotter planes and helicopters take off and search for the oil. we use satellite images, infrared and thermal photography to map and target the oil. then, the boats go to work. almost 6,000 vessels. these are thousands of local shrimp and fishing boats organized into task forces and strike teams. plus, specialized skimmers from around the world. we've skimmed over 27 million gallons of oil/water mixture and removed millions more with other methods. we've set out more than 8 million feet of boom to protect the shoreline. i grew up on the gulf coast and i love these waters. we can't keep all the oil from coming ashore, but i'm gonna do everything i can to stop it, and we'll be here as long as it takes to clean up the gulf. an ohio woman was so desperate for a date she called 911. now she has a date to appear in court. police in norwood, ohio, claim bernadette called the emergency line four times in one night. she told the dispatcher she was trying to reach a date line and couldn't seem to get through.
