this very topic on the street. indications of either of those that you saw quickly? reporter: i have to tell you that is a great question and unless someone is carrying a sign that specifically says who they support, it s very difficult to tell. and the reason is that many, many people in the crowd on both sides have masks covering part of their face. those who support trump are wearing helmets, things to protect themselves from being hit. we ve seen pepsi cans flying in the air and bottles flying in the air. the people don t want to get hit. a lot of people have on protective clothing. so it s very difficult to tell exactly where they re from. i can tell you that a lot of people in the crowd do look young, younger. maybe in their 20s. but it s hard to tell at this point if they re students or not. kntv christy smith on the ground for us. berkeley, california. these pictures evidently a garbage fire if you will, small
oregon where the protest is just getting warmed up. and the difference for those just joining us, when you and i were talking about an hour, hour and a half ago, there was nobody behind you. but now that we hit the 1:00 hour, certainly the energy is greater. reporter: that s right. the crowd has come out and the spl pl splaz plaza is full. several hundred have arrived. and a lot of folks demanding accountability. as you ve seen in protests across the country, demanding that president trump release his tax returns and be accountable for what is in them. one man from portland that we will speak to, mike higgins, your main concern is really about con on fliflicts of inter. i think that we need to see donald trump s taxes. there is so much coming out about the russia connection and i believe that after he went bankrupt as a business person he had to go to russia for his
stop again for the vice president, mike pence, as he does head to seoul south korea,s it in the wee hours of a sunday morning there in seoul, south korea. he will be arriving on a sunday morning and of course the hope from mike pence as well as president trump that nothing will happen overnight. somebody that can help us understand what that thinking might be in north korea, barbara democrat demmick. thanks for being here. you were right in the heart of it when you were bureau chief there. what is the thought you think is going through kim jong-un s mind? again we have to remember he s seen as son of a god there. yes. well, kim jong-un is sort of following this old playic of the north koreans to bluster and threaten and try to get his way. i think what is different this time is he has somebody on the other side who is as blustery as he is. and so i think kim jong-un is
breaking news out of berkeley, california. and the latest numbers that we ve got here, nine arrests, you see some remnants here of what may have been the orange barricade that was meant to separate those who are both information donald trump releasing his tax returns and those who are not. on the phone with me right now is christy smith from kntv who has been watching this for us. what are you seeing on the ground there? reporter: well, i can tell you that as of right now across the street from civic center park and that is downtown berkeley where those supporting president trump and those who are against him faced off this morning, right now i have to tell you what i m seeing is that the park itself is mostly empty. and that is because violence did break out as you said, berkeley police arresting nine people. they are standing by, they have riot gear on. and many of the people both for and against have spilled on to the side streets.
