ROMANS: A really tense standoff right now between police and protesters in Hong Kong as officials there trying to clear out the main protest site near the city's financial hub. The police ordered protesters to leave area or face arrest. Thousands of police officers deployed to clear out that crowd and they are bringing in the heavy equipment in with them. Our Saima Mohsin is live there in Hong Kong with the latest. Saima, I mean, the pictures are pretty unbelievable. The heavy equipment is moving out what has been 12 weeks of pro-democracy protesters.</s>SAIMA MOHSIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I had to move out of the way of one of the excavators, Christine. What a surreal sight. We have the excavators and this huge equipment scooping everything up that comes in their path. Now let me explain to you what happened. Earlier today, the injunction was carried out. It was cleared out further down the road and now police have moved on to the main highway. Not sure if I'll be able to stand in the middle of the highway in Hong Kong again. Police then came inch by inch forcing protesters back. They finally have been able to bring their vehicles down here and take over. Take a look at this. We have been looking at this over the last few weeks. It has been filled with tents. Now it is completely clear. So much so, the cleaners have been able to come in. There are a number of die-hard protesters, Christine, refusing to leave. A couple hundred meters away. There is a standoff. Police are physically picking them up and carrying them to police vans. So far dozens have been arrested -- Christine.</s>ROMANS: All right, Saima Mohsin with the end of the 12 weeks of pro- democracy protests in Hong Kong. Thank you, Saima.</s>BERMAN: All right, big changes coming to my favorite restaurant. McDonald's is getting ready to pull some menu items. Change some ingredients. Will this bring back customers? An EARLY START on your money is next.
