Nato partners concerns about the alliance. This trip by the way is mr. Obamas final foreign trip as president. I will say this as we watch this live picture right now. Back in july of 2008, the president was 46 years old. When some 200,000 people showed up to watch his speech right there in the city of berlin. He said this, quote, the walls between immigrants, christian and muslims and jewk cannot stand. We must tear down the walls. In 2013, the reception that he received in berlin a little more subdued. Now we are in the final days, months of his presidency. We will see the reception that he gets in berlin. If we can maybe hang on this picture for a movement. We might see the president step out any second. The president tweeted earlier today, he said i do not agree with the person who is filling this office after i leave. However, the presidency is much bigger than just one person. The president continues to urge unity as does president elect donald trump. Here we see there are a number of people gathered to greet the president as he arrives in germany. We will go ahead and leave these pictures and bring the arrival of the president later today. Sort of like a farewell tour for president obama as he visits the countries. Exactly. In other news here in the bay area, 61yearold dana rivers of san jose is in court right now facing three counts of murder along with special circumstances. Rivers is accused of killing 57 yearold patricia wright, her partner, 56yearold Charlotte Reed and their 19yearold son toto in oakland last friday. When officers arrived, they found the young man outside of the family home and his parents were found inside stabbed and shot. Rivers is now accused of killing all three and setting the house on fire. Police have not released a motive but there are reports that it may have involved a dispute over property. We do have a reporter inside the courtroom and we will have an update for you on the noon broadcast. Also happening now, university of california regents are meeting to discuss the School Systems first tuition increase in six years. Trustees took up a similar proposal for cal state yesterday. The systems are getting less support from the state. Ktvus allie rasmus is live at uc San Francisco where the uc regents are now. Allie. Reporter yes. And that meeting is now underway. Uc regents meeting at the mission bay campus. You can see a bit of an overflow crowd out here. Were told that the auditorium where the meeting is happening is completely full. So all of the folks you see out here are waiting for people to leave so they can go in and watch the meeting happen. One of the many issues the uc regents will be discussing over the next two years, not just budget but a tuition hike. That could mean an extra 300 a year that students would have to pay. Now, why does the uc officials why do uc officials need this kind of tuition hike . The spokesperson says what they get from the state and what they need to operate is widening. That is despite the fact that much of the money cut during the 2008 recession has been restored to the uc system. But the spokesperson says the cost to operate per student have gone up. Now, if tuition increased, it would be the first time in six years that it would do that. They also argue that Financial Aid would cover the increase in cost for about 75 of students. Now, uc and csu students say they are already struggling to make ends meet, paying for housing and food and a tuition hike would cause them severe financial hardship. It is an issue that faculty and students are following closely. This is a twoday meeting that the regents are having. I had a chance to talk to the students out here, uc berkeley students. They say there is a group inside the meeting right now that are voicing their support for an idea that they want uc system to divest in fossil fuel industries. Thats the focus of the protesters and the group that came from uc berkeley. Students in the meeting today. Tomorrow, the Uc Berkeley Student Union plans to bus students here to this meeting to protest and to voice their concerns specifically about the tuition hike increase. So two different issues that students are focusing on today and tomorrow. A lot of folks waiting to get inside to see what is happening with the meeting. Thank you, allie. Democrats in the senate will have a new leader when the new congress convenes in january. The democrats elected Charles Schumer to take over from harry reid who is retiring. Republicans reelected kentucky senator Mitch Mcconnell to be majority leader. This morning we keep an eye on the trump transition as the president elect works to hire his white house staff and fill his cabinet positions. So far the only name confirmed is Republican Party head Reince Priebus who will be chief of staff. Democrats are tree to regroup after the loss last week. Doug luzader has the latest from washington, d. C. Reporter were waiting for more announcements from the trump team. In the meantime the president elect sent his press contingent for a loop when he went out to dinner and didnt tell them. Donald trump and his motorcade heading out to dinner last night in new york. He would later tweet, very organized process taking place as i decide on cabinet and many other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are. But there has been tension. Michigan congressman mike rogers who helped to coordinate National Security issues is now out. So is ben carson who was considered for department of education. He wants to work outside of government he says. And the minute you think you have a grasp on the names under consideration for top jobs, theres a curve ball. Texas senator and former fierce trump critic, ted cruz, spotted yesterday leaving trump tower. Could he be under consideration for attorney general . And another unconventional turn, some of those under consideration are openly talking about it. I would be very honored to serve. Reporter it used to if you wanted a Top Administration job, you stayed quiet. As we know with trump, it is a very different process. Sometimes people communicate to him through television. So for some of these people it might not be a bad idea to be out there so much. Reporter then theres congress. What a difference a week makes. Paul ryan was reelected by fellow republicans as speaker of the house running unopposed. There was speculation that he would have to fight for the job. Across the aisle, nancy pelosi ran into trouble by fellow democrats to stay on as minority leader and had to push back the election. There are some people that say you got beat badly here. That speaks to the president ial race more than our race. Reporter now, it doesnt mean that nancy pelosi wont be reelected as House Minority leader. It means there are democrats who think the party needs to move in a different direction to do more to reach out to disaffected blue collar voters. A professor of poll i cans from the university of San Francisco joins us here today. By all intents and purposes, this transition does not seem to be going smoothly. Is that a bad sign. Trump was elected. It was a feature for voters that he was not a washington insider. Were getting a sense of what the advantages of being a washington insider might be. They generally turn to their Campaign Staff or president elects turn to their Campaign Staff and people who worked for them in the past. Donald trump didnt build a terribly Large Campaign and never Held Elected Office before. He doesnt have a reservoir of people to call upon. I know youre talking about this in your classes. What do the young people tomorrows generation, what do they have to say about we asked a question earlier of our viewers. Do you feel better or worse than you did one week ago when we woke up to the election results. How are your students feeling. I think the students are asking important questions about american democracy. We have had a lot of conversations about what does it mean that the electoral vote had a different conclusion than the popular vote and the fact that this has happened twice within 16 years is something that weighs heavily upon them. I think that theyre starting to broaden their definition of what democracy means beyond turning out and voting and thinking about what do they do as engaged active citizens to stand up for the future they want to have. I want to talk more about his cabinet. Theres been a lot of question marks. We havent seen names. We thought there would be names before. We heard the Rudy Giuliani and newt gingrich. What do you foresee as his cabinet . People we know . People that we have kind of grownup with over the last decade or so, two decades in congress . Or maybe people we dont know. I think we will see a mixture. I think you will see trump leaning on personal connections that he has. People who have not had political experience. I think you will see particularly with pence moving to take over the transition, you will see some insiders. I would predict that based on the history of the campaign, you will see unusually volatile cabinet. In some sense, i think when i hear who is going to be nominated for the positions, i dont know how long they will end up staying, right. Because of course trump went through several campaign managers. Managers. One can imagine that if he has disagreements with people on his cabinet, that he would fire them. Doctor, already some people are saying, you know, theyre protesting holding up signs like not my president. Uhhuh. How important is it for people to get off the streets in your opinion and start some sort of a movement . While protest is going, its not a given that he will be in there for two terms. Right. They need to start now if the people are unsatisfied doing something. Right. Well, i think the protests have served two different purposes. One is to kind of collective mourning and grief and moment of solidarity like in the hands around the lake at lake merit on sunday. The other thing that happened is that becomes the ground for greater mobilization around particular issues. My son was actually active in leading the protest on monday in oakland. Now he has the phone numbers of who he considers student leaders all over oakland. When the time comes, they will be able to call upon one another and organize. They are getting more mobilized around mid term elections. Were seeing sort of the reactionary protests right now. I think that were going to see more comprehensive organization soon. Some members of the media are protesting. He ditched the press last night and went out to dinner. What do you read into that . Is that something that he will see more often . He gets to decide what he wants to do. Thats what were in for. People wanted a president who wasnt going to play by the rules. It will be very interesting to see how that works for him. Thank you for joining us this morning. Today marks one week since we woke up to the results of the president ial election. Over the past seven days, the president elect has appointed some top advisors and scaled back on some of his campaign promises. But we have also seen people all over the country as we mentioned protesting the victory. Our question to you is this, how are you feeling today compared to last wednesday right after the election . One week after the election, im in the twilight zone. Everything feels surreal. Jodi says managely that we, the popular majority will unite, stand up to bullies but still terrified fort future. On facebook, angela says positive and happy. I feel so sorry for the people who are scared and cant move forward. It is sad that the level of people strength and confidence is so low. I was raised to have faith, give people a chance and that every day above ground is a gift so dont waste time complaining. Thanks for your responses.

City council has given the 49ers another week to provide Financial Information on levis stadium operation. The council postponed the 30 day warning letter. They have given the team until november 22nd to provide financial documents or they will be considered in breach of contract. A city audit turned up signs that the team is allegedly using city general fund money improperly for stadium operations. Mayor lisa gillmor has threatened to remove the 49ers from their role as stadium managers. The team dispute the audit findings and say they have fully cooperated with the council. They said last night in part, contrary to the recent statements to the press, the mayor has no right to terminate the 49ers as manager of levis stadium. Her unjustified threat to remove the 49ers has unnecessarily created a fear of job loss in the many employees who have worked so hard to make levis stadium so successful.
