6:06 pm
information. they work one-on-one with all these kids. they want to make sure the 7- year-old boy is okay and want to get to the bottom line of all this. >> exactly. juliette goodrich, thank you. outrage in egypt. protestors expected to hear president hosni mubarak step down tonight. instead, he announced he is sticking around but he is handing over power. just a short time ago president obama released a statement saying the egyptian government has not seized the opportunity for a path to genuine democracy. simon perez with the latest. >> reporter: president obama isn't the only one disappointed in the president's decision. hundreds of thousands packed into central cairo expecting an end to more than two weeks of protests. president hosni mubarak announcing his resignation. but instead he said he will stay on. pushing some to tears and many more to anger. >> i decided to transfer my powers to the vice president. >> reporter: but that wasn't
6:07 pm
nearly good enough for the tens of thousands of people packed into tahrir square in cairo they want egyptian president hosni mubarak gone. indeed, rumors flew all day that he would resign. hosni mubarak has been urged by the obama administration to make way for democracy. so explains susan rice, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations in san francisco today. >> there needs to be an orderly, prompt and genuine transition to real democracy, not simply a single election but the institutions and the underpinnings of democracy. >> reporter: the obama administration has been struggling to present a consistent message to hosni mubarak and the egyptian people at times calling for hosni mubarak to go as soon as the proverbial yesterday. hosni mubarak seemed to address u.s. attempts to manage the situation. >> we will show that we are not
6:08 pm
followers of anybody. that nobody decides for us what we should do. >> reporter: former nobel peace prize winner emerged as a possible leader for the opposition. through his twitter account he called for the military to take over. otherwise predicting that, quote, "egypt will explode." some are concerned about the muslim brotherhood power after hosni mubarak leaves turning egypt into another iran. >> there is no indication that the muslim brotherhood comprised a majority of public opinion or public sentiment. >> is it possible the results may not end up in the best u.s. interests? >> we can't presume to know exactly what the results will be but it is in the united states' interest in egypt and elsewhere over the long-term that there be genuine and deep rooted democracy. >> reporter: here is more from president obama's reaction to hosni mubarak's speech. he said "too many egyptians remain unconvinced that the government is serious about a
6:09 pm
genuine transition to democracy and it is the responsibility of the government to speak clearly to the egyptian people and to the world." so lots of consternation there and we will see what happens. president obama is not happy about it. united states government. all those protestors. hosni mubarak standing firm saying he is not going. >> u.s. money continues to flow to egypt in the meantime? >> very complicated diplomatic situation for everybody. >> the longer this goes on the higher the possibility that it won't end well. >> right. the one guy who is now particularly looking like he might be leading the opposition group pleaded for the military to come in because he said egypt is going to explode. >> thank you for that. well, in case you haven't heard, some at&t customers have complaints about their service on the iphone. check the sarcasm from verizon. can it do any better? now both carriers serving up the same gizmo time for the phone bar challenge and by our measure there is a clear
6:10 pm
winner. speaking of sarcasm. something else people in san francisco never get tired of complaining about but congratulations to muni which just won an award for service. how on earth could that have possibly happened? they look like friends but these bay area teens are sworn enemies. the simple idea that is bringing rival gang members together in peace. coming up in minutes. ,,,,,,,,,,

6:13 pm
>> long waits. crowded. in the wintertime makes for unhealthy conditions. >> reporter: of all the transit agents where does it rank? >> had to be pretty well. >> give me a number of the. >> of the country. i would say right around 100. >> reporter: according to a new ranking by u.s. news and world report it places the san francisco municipal railways which riders give a 60% negative rating, the sixth best in the country. >> sixth best? >> yes. >> wow. >> reporter: the rankings based on public investment, safety and ridership. portland was one, salt lake city, new york, boston and seattle followed. >> we would love to be number 1 but that gives us an opportunity being number 6. >> reporter: he says the system could be better with safety after a series of actions but overall he is pleased. >> we will see where those systems are doing better and look at some lessons learned. >> operating costs, efficiency,
6:14 pm
ontime reliability. these are issues everybody faces riding muni. >> reporter: blocking on his popular site. pointing out it is the slowest transit system averaging 8 miles an hour and most expensive to run at $19 a mile. the survey isn't all that accurate. >> they included b.a.r.t. that doesn't make any sense. >> reporter: and mayor ed lee said this week in the effort to keep twitter in town, they will work on improving muni's efficiency around the mid- market area. >> there is a bus line that they wanted to see happen with muni so we connected it up with muni to make sure that there would be very efficient bus service. >> which leaves some wondering if they can improve muni for twitter employees why couldn't it earlier for the other tens of thousands of riders who have been complaining about the system for years? so if twitter does stay, muni probably will add three lines that will go straight from the

6:16 pm
>> sounds like you're a critic of muni. >> just seems counter to what we report. >> i'm a reporter with a clipper card so i actually know what's going on on muni. i will leave it to you to make those comments. >> mike sugerman, thank you. all right, our weather -- well, it has been at the top of the top 10 but that will change? >> two more days of lots of sunshine right here in the bay area and temperatures now going back into the 70s. sunset officially at 5:43 a.m. and once the sun did set we had highs that banked anywhere from 62 in livermore to 69 degrees in sonoma. wow. that's really pretty. if you're out and about this evening the numbers are going down very rapidly as the sun does set. we have a lot of cool air mass in place. and tonight as a direct result numbers are going below freezing and throughout napa and santa rosa so obviously we will have a little bit of fog in the overnight hours. 40s common across the central bay, upper 30s around the

6:18 pm
on tuesday, wednesday heavier rainfall and possibility of snow arriving by friday of next week. and we will talk more about that next time. >> yes, i want to hear more about that. all right, roberta, thank you. more americans are finding beauty at the tip of a needle. however, tonight dr. kim mulvihill has a warning for bay area women about a cosmetic injection that can quill kill you. >> reporter: injected with what is believed to be silicon. she wanted to enhance her backside but instead the aspiring performer died. >> this is such a tragic story. >> reporter: this doctor says the story is not unique. women everywhere are putting themselves in danger of death or permanent damage. he says so far he has seen a number of bay area women disfigured by disastrous cosmetic injections. >> this is happening on a daily basis everywhere across the country. not excluding san francisco and the bay area. >> reporter: the evidence shows in many cases what's injected
6:19 pm
is not the silicon doctors use. >> in a cluster of california cases where women were severely disfigured investigators tested the substance and found it was industrial grade silicone, the same kind of stuff you use in bathroom caulking. >> reporter: injected into 14 women in fresno. they charged a man with 29 felony counts. while on bail he escaped to mexico leaving a trail of victims including this woman. she thought she was getting a bargain, just $100 for plumper lips. but ended up paying a huge price. >> it is not me. more than anything it is uncomfortable. it is painful. >> reporter: the 20-year-old from london heard about the injections in a chat room. the doctor says be careful. not everything you read or discuss online is true. >> caveat emptor, buyer beware. >> reporter: certain cosmetic procedures can be done in a salon with a properly trained

now, in that darkness, thers a gang war in oakland has intensified over the last two months but now in that darkness there is some light. joe vazquez shows us a neighborhood dinner that allowed some kids, even rival gang members, to do something they could never do on the street. >> reporter: in the middle of a violent spree in oakland -- >> come join us for the dinner. >> reporter: volunteers are serving up new hope for old rivals. >> all positive energy today. i really need it. >> reporter: every wednesday night here at the ymca on 45th the empowerment program host an
6:23 pm
empowerment dinner. a territory that recently has been ravaged by driveby shootings and murderous retaliations. >> here you have young people from rival neighborhoods. to break bread is something really sacred and special. so these kids break bread every week and they cross enemy lines to get here. >> reporter: breaking the bread is made up of mostly latino teenagers. some are sworn enemies. >> we are from different neighborhoods. >> reporter: they would not be allowed to be seen together on the street. >> sometimes it would be weird because you would be seeing them and you would be, like, i can't be speaking to you. but when you sit down and you really hear their story you realize i can relate because i go through that. >> reporter: they sit together to eat and learn about latino history, about nonviolent activism, even though many know
6:24 pm
somebody who has been killed. >> just on monday on the corner of my house somebody got killed over wearing the red belt. but here it feels like you're protected even though i may have a certain color, somebody else may have a certain color but we have the same skin tone and same purpose of being here to unite. >> anybody know a loved one that has recently passed. >> reporter: for two hours a week the dinner provides a peaceful refuge from the tensions of the street. >> are you ready? get comfortable. let's cue this up. >> reporter: on this night they gather to watch an emmy award winning pbs documentary called "children of violence" that depicted latino gang life in oakland in 1981. teenagers living and dying for their street gangs. 30 years later it still goes on. survivors from that documentary came to talk to the kids about how some of their homies didn't survive but how they can. that's former gang member gary
6:25 pm
baka. he is now a radio host on kpfa. >> it is good that the homies can get these kids together and get to know each other. it is easier to kill a kid that you don't know than killing a kid that you do. >> this is what we tell them. do you want to end up on a rest in peace t-shirt or do you want to end up in a poster like chavez? yes, rest in peace, but for a legacy. what will your legacy be and that's what we are working on so they can change the world. >> now, to be clear, not all of those kids are gang members. many associate with gangs as they see it as a means to survival. the hard core gangs to criminals probably not attending this meal. these kids are choosing to make a difference and in the process bringing some peace to their communities. for iphone users who just can't take it any more, this is your moment. behold verizon now has its hands on the device. does it work any we are than
6:26 pm
with at&t? we put the two networks to the iphone test. another question for anyone on the market for a smartphone. should you buy insurance? >> i'm driving to work one night and i'm going real early claiming i need to get a parking place but really just want to get up to the bar. >> a grammy nominee who escaped a very dark place. how he did it with some help from a little girl who fell down a well. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

applause as the first custos walk in the store to get thw i- phone four that went on e today. some people waited in line all night for their chance to nab one. cheers and applause as customers walked in to get the iphone today. some people waited in line all night to nab one. verizon begins selling its version of the popular cell phone. it used to be available exclusively on at&t. more now on whether the new carrier will be able to solve the problems about which at&t users always complained. >> reporter: the launch was relatively quiet and subdued especially for an apple
6:30 pm
product. but for the handful of people lined up outside this store this morning. >> i was here at 4:00 a.m. >> reporter: the excitement over trading in their at&t iphones for verizon was apparent. >> i saw 3g service. >> my phone with at&t has been nothing but problems. >> reporter: the big question is whether verizon service will be any better than at&t's especially when more people get their hands on this iphone and starts flooding the market. >> testing has found verizon phone was getting faster data and able to connect better to calls and keep them once you have them. >> reporter: verizon's iphone can also serve as a wi-fi hot spot which the at&t iphone can't do. but there are some drawbacks. you can't use it worldwide. and it doesn't do simultaneous voice and data. >> if you're on a call you can't get to the web page, you can't look at the maps, you
6:31 pm
can't look at your e-mail. the data does not come in while our on a call. at&t does allow that. it is just a consequence of verizon's technology. >> reporter: there are high expectations for the verizon high phone. >> we need to talk about this. joining us today. i can't tell which one is which. >> one is at&t, one is verizon. >> very little difference in the hardware. if you look very closely you'll notice the at&t version is son top. but apple redesigned it putting it on the side. they won't say how they address the antenna problems because we all know that was a major issue with the at&t version. >> yes. >> so now it is here on the side meaning that they moved the silence toggle just a little bit. >> that's minor. >> minor. otherwise they are the exact same phone. and the exact same interface, all the same standard apps.
6:32 pm
it works like the original at&t phone did. >> now many people think that because verizon picked this up the at&t signals will be clearer and better. >> yes. wouldn't that be ironic. if all these at&t customers switched over to verizon, clogged verizon's market and that becomes a slow market and at&t becomes crystal clear. it is a very real possibility but no one knows. it will be awhile. months, even a year until we really see the actual data on how that is going to shake out. >> people seemed awfully excited to get this done today. >> they did. the iphone has been out for almost four years. so there have been customers waiting for four years. cannot wait to get their hands on the verizon version. >> and certainly apple stock really benefited from this. it went as high as 360 and change today and ended up at $354. lots of attention paid to this. >> this will give apple a greater piece of the market
6:33 pm
share of the smart phone category. >> there is another carrier out in the desert is sprint. >> there are a bunch of other carriers. each carrier does have its own smartphones. original version so they carry other people's versions and let's not forget that the iphone is just one of several, several dozen on the market. let's not forget the android, blackberry, all those other popular devices. the iphone has its niche and market popularity but it is not the end all, be all. >> i don't think the marketing department will let us forget the other phones. all right. we will keep an eye on this. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. whether you have verizon or at&t replacing your iphone can be expensive. i put my first one through the washing machine thanks very much. on the consumer watch julie watts with some options for the accident prone. >> reporter: when it comes to phones, sam riskin has had bad luck. >> i had one burned in a beach
6:34 pm
bonfire. bad accident. then i had one that fell out of my pocket into a gutter and got completely sub merged in water. >> reporter: without insurance bad luck can be expensive. >> it was like $600. >> reporter: but by the nature of its design this small computer wrapped in glass is fragile. so what can you do? i came across square trade. >> reporter: third party insurers. safeware. even best buy. >> a third of iphones will have some sort of damage. >> reporter: and it is explained that most of the damage occurs in one of two ways. >> 75% of failure rates were with the iphone are from dropping or getting it wet. >> reporter: but the $59 apple care extended warrant only covers manufacturer defects. at&t and verizon offer extended protection plans that do cover accidents and thefts but come with a whopping $200 deductible. compare that to third party
6:35 pm
insurers which offer a $50 deductible and you can see why many prefer to seek protection outside their carrier. the trend is certainly not surprising to kent germane. >> the only advantage of going to a carrier to get your warrior is you're contradicting it to fewer parties so there is not many people involved. certainly not a danger to go outside that. if the pricing is right, terms are good for you, then by all means. >> reporter: but he says whether it is a bumper, case or insurance, protection for the fragile iphone is a good idea especially if you're anything like sam. >> had to dry it out but it was dead. >> now, most plans range between 10 and $12 a month and many won't cover unlocked phones, international accidents or they may limit the number of claims you can file each year. so be sure to read the fine print before deciding which plan works best for you. for more information head to our website. we have a story and link there. >> wish i had the insurance.

6:36 pm
>> you know, i only have the apple warranty which i never really considered. doesn't do much for you if you break your phone. i think i have to rethink that. >> if you have a teenager with the phone you get the insurance. trust me. >> very important. >> thank you. well, it has been awhile now but you probably remember a news story that grabbed everyone's attention back in 1987. >> i'm listening to the news and this little girl in texas named jessica fell in a well. >> well, this man didn't just pay attention to the story, it changed his life. the effect it had on a musician who is now up for a grammy. 14, 18 caret gold. what's the difference? it is tonight's good question. i'm dennis o'donnell at pebble beach. could i use my cell phone to disqualify a golfer here at the at&t pro am? i will tell you that answer. plus, the hottest golf bag on tour. you're never going to guess who it belongs to. that's coming up in a few minutes. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

but why? what is the difference between 14, 18, 24 caret gold? ken bastida has tonight's good question. >> if you know anything about gold you know it has been sky rocketing in value for over a year now. but do you know what kind of gold you're looking at? >> 24 caret is pure gold. gold is weighed in 24 parts. so 1/24th is one. 24 carets is pure gold. >> reporter: chris edland at a jewelry store says 24 caret gold is not very common here in the u.s. because it is not very durable. >> it is so soft that it is a little bit difficult if you're going to wear it for a lifetime. wedding band in 24 caret will bend. >> reporter: she says gold used for jewelry is usually mixed with an alloy like nickel or zinc here in the united states to make it stronger. >> 14 caret gold is an american standard and that's 58% gold and the rest of that is alloys.
6:47 pm
>> reporter: she says 18 caret gold is the standard in europe. again, a product of the amount of pure gold versus percentage of alloys. and you know that white gold that everybody raves about. same story. >> but what they do is they take a 14 caret gold purity with 58% pure gold which is yellow gold and they add all white alloys to it. so they have zinc and nickel and that turns it over to a white gold. >> reporter: go to cbssf.com. click on connect to send me your good questions. >> good as gold. the forecast right? >> shiny and bright certainly. this is the scene outside right now. live cbs5 weather camera outdoors. numbers are going down very rapidly now that the sun has set. we are into the 50s. however, it is 60 degrees in
