Patient and staff safety, including ebola protocol. Nbc bay areas Stephanie Chuang is live in San Francisco along one of those picket lines. Seems to be a lively crew out there, but is the strike having an impact on patient care . Reporter good morning to you, kris. It is very lively out here and so far no major disruption, although this is a twoday strike, a total of 24 hours involving 16,000 nurses. Here there are more than 100 nurses and folks with the union out here. You can see the signs, as well. Kaiser says it has fillin nurses, but nurses say theyd rather be inside but have no choice but to be out here to ensure patient safety. Pressure to hurry, keep it moving. Reporter and after more than 40 years as a registered nurse in San Francisco, she said she needs more time day to day to help her countless patients in the labor delivery area. That need to just rush or hurry can get in the way of us always doing the right thing, and going without breaks. We cant deliver our best because were all human. Reporter she was one of dozens outside the kaiser on gary boulevard. Where nurses began walking off the job on strike at 7 00 in the morning. The california nursing negotiation gave kaiser a tenday notice. It immediately worked to fly in nurses to fill in the gaps and keep operations flowing. Happening as contract talks between kaiser and the union seem to have hit a wall. Were concerned about the strike right now as weve been at the bargaining table. Theyve presented over 30 proposals and operational needs of the nursing staff. We have countered those proposals and were waiting for cna to work with us on that. Reporter in a statement, kaiser called the timing irresponsible entering flu season. Nurses counter in order to look out for patient and staff longterm they needed to show kaiser they mean business. Were being responsible because of the fact kaiser has kind of lost touch with its nurses and patient care. For the past two years weve been severely short staffed. This is my question, tell us what the good time is. Well do it. Reporter back here live, the twoday strike does coincide with a national day of action on ebola across the country, set for tomorrow with nurses calling for more protection and training in ebola response. Now, kaiser says it follows both state and federal guidelines in the ebola preparation and response. Nurses we spoke with here say they need two things, one, fully impenetrable hazmat suits, as well as training how to take off and put on these suits. Thats when they say theres the greatest risk of infection. Live in San Francisco, nbc bay area news. All right. Well see how it resolves. Thank you very much, steph.

Students say theyll continue to rally until the board member is removed and the administration apologizes. On their Facebook Page they are calling for regime change. For someone to say that about one specific race was very shocking to me. San jose states president released this statement, although i know some have been frustrated by a perceived lack of action since this incident occurred, we owe it to everyone to thoughtfully, thoroughly, and factually determine what occurred before taking action.

Montana, here in minnesota, over into wisconsin and up into michigan, a foot of snow is on the ground, and with the forecast really cold temperatures, this snow is going to stick around for a very long time, so it is going to be very icy and winter is still, what, about six weeks away. So we have a long ways to go this year, apparently. In forest lake, minnesota, dylan dreyer for nbc news. You said no gloating. No calling our friends in the midwest. No. Lets check the temperatures and see how things are around here. She said she wasnt going to call her mother in law. I dont know about that. Because of the weather.

You could have a set of small waves and all of a sudden get a big one, caught off guard, thats when it becomes dangerous. Thats going to be a factor for tomorrow, as well. Clouds steadily increasing throughout the next couple days, then the next weather maker moves in by tomorrow night. Talking about showers. 66 degrees for the south bay today, 67 on the peninsula, mid 60s for the east shore and San Francisco. North bay also looking good for the mid 60s.

Because once it starts, were going to keep that storm window open and keep the rain coming through. This is the first one. Watch whats on its heels, though. Saturday and sunday, looking mostly clear for you to get outdoors, but then late sunday, into monday, were talking about the core of low pressure tracking right over the bay area. You think we were done, oh no, my friends, not even close. By tuesday at 10 00 a. M. , getting another round of heavy rainfall with more on the way for thursday, into friday.

A Northern California farms will likely scale back a corn maze after a number of people ended up calling 911. This is so cool, no its not. Plowed down the corn maze after getting it verified by the guinness book of world records. The 63acre maze drew people from all over the state and caused a lot of headaches for the Solano CountySheriffs Department. This is what it looked like before it was plowed over, but the Sheriffs Department tells the chronicle the department received about seven calls last month because people were lost inside the maze. Here they are plowing it down, apparently. The family that created the maze says its pretty quiet this year compared to last, just the same, they are likely going to scale it back, make it easier next year. Terrible sense of direction. I would have been calling the Solano CountySheriffs Department. Im standing next to corn. Well, a deer in ohio is finally able to put halloween behind it. Neighbors trying to figure out, yeah, how to get the pumpkin off the head of a deer. They were worried it couldnt eat or drink or see. Eventually oh, i think we got it. No, we dont. Tried with a net, one man tackled the deer to the ground. The deer ran back into the woods unharmed, without the thing on his head. Hopefully, to get some food and water. That happened to somebody i know once. A person . No. I could see how it could happen. Still to come, we investigate. Wanting to kill me. I didnt want to die. They fled violent gangs and death squads for a better life. We investigate a dire situation forcing some children to travel to the bay area alone. There is no easy way out, especially for the children. Their situation so dire in their homeland that they flee to america without their parents, and many of them end up here in the bay area. We hear from some of those refugee children. Investigator Stephen Stock continues our series of reports on real refugees living in the shadows around us. We spent two months traveling between the Mexican Border and the bay area, joining immigrants on buses headed for destinations all over the country, including here. Along the way, we also discovered something we did not expect to find, something about many of these refugees that startled even us. The large numbers may have dwindled in the last few months, but the lines of refugees making their way to local bus stations have not stopped here in tucson, arizona. We watched as day after day, mothers and infants, fathers and young children, were dropped off at the local bus station. They all were fleeing violent gangs and death squads in guatemala, el salvador, and honduras. Then we rode with some of them across hundreds of miles of desert as they traveled to meet relatives and friends already living here throughout the united states, traveling to far off places like atlanta, new jersey, los angeles, and eureka in Northern California. Along the way, we discovered an unexpected group of refugees. Translator we, im scared. Among them, this refugee from guatemala, who fears for his life even now. Thats why we wont show you his face, and we will call him jaime. Translator i got out of guatemala because of problems with the gangs. They were following me, wanting to kill me. I didnt want to die. I wanted to save my life. The gangs in guatemala came for jaime when he was 12. Shortly after that, he fled for his life, leaving his mother, his home, his country. Translator if i return to guatemala, for sure death will be waiting for me. Jaime is now in school and in hiding, hiding in plain sight among us here in the bay area. Except for a distant relative who he barely knows, he is alone. Jaime is 14. Was it worth it to come here . Translator if i didnt have this now, id be dead today. Translator i couldnt be there anymore, so i came alone. This girl, whom we will call dariana, fled honduras after gangs told her she must become a prostitute and work for them. Translator there are some that just look a little girls, spy on them so they can kidnap them and rape them. Thats what they do over there, they sequester them and rape them. They prostitute them out, and if not, they just kill them. Their bodies appear everywhere, in rivers, anywhere. She was 13. Translator i feel so bad. I was alone and had no one, until i got to the detention center. I didnt get to talk to my mother. I didnt know how she was. These children are not alone. According to the u. S. Border patrol, almost 52,000 unaccompanied children from guatemala, honduras, and el salvador have been picked up along the u. S. Mexican border between september 30th this year, not counting children coming with parents, its just children traveling alone. A number that has more than doubled up 149 from last year. Theres a deportation proceeding that is commenced against illegal migrants, including children. Earlier this year on meet the press, Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson, while insisting federal law would be followed, also admitted these refugee children pose a unique challenge to immigration policy in its current form. We are looking at ways to create additional options for dealing with the children in particular consistent with our laws and our values. At least two. Two walkin refugees each day that come here in berkley. Her sister serves as executive director. Many of the children know their parents are here somewhere and they are looking for them. Supported by local churches, east bay sanctuary has given legal help to at least 65 unaccompanied minors just since june. The crisis for them, because if they dont have representation, legal representation, they will probably be deported. The idea of welcoming refugees and strangers is part of who we are. Pastor in oakland, one of the local churches that supports east bay sanctuary. I get frustrated when i hear people suggesting that children risking their lives to come here, 12 years old, 8 years old, whatever, these people, to say that these people are some sort of existential threat to the united states, that frustrates me. Translator they said, if you join us, well be friendly and things will be like we have said. This girl was 17 when she fled her home in guatemala after gangs told her to join them or die. Translator but if not, they told us theyd kill us. Thats why we came here to save our lives. Jaime is now in high school, trying to learn english and hoping he can stay. He worries that gang members from guatemala will catch up with him even here. Dariana made her way to the bay area, where she was finally reunited with her mother and father, who were already here. They worry about the familys matriarch, who still lives in honduras and surely will be killed if gangs find out that they talked to us. The plight of all these children has ignited a National Movement among some churches, a movement started here in the east bay. Coming up later this month, we will take you inside that movement and show you exactly how its spreading beyond the bay area to the entire country, as we continue to examine this immigration crisis. Im Stephen Stock, nbc bay area news. Well, if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call, 888996tips, or send an email. On the second day of the asian economic summit, president obama met with chinas leader a number of times and announced measures leading to more jobs in the u. S. And had brief encounters with russian president vladimir putin. More on that from beijing. Reporter president obama and president putin met three times on the sidelines of the apec economic summit, talking for about 15 to 20 minutes, according to white house officials, they discussed a range of topics, including iran, syria, and, of course, ukraine. The united states, one of several western nations that has imposed stiff sanctions against russia. The pictures underscore the frosty relation between president obama and president putin. Its a stark contrast to meetings with chinese president xi jinping, which open conversation and closer relations between the two leaders, who have been at odds at a number of issues, including human rights and cyber security. President obama and president xi had several meetings today, including a walk through the garden and private dinner tonight. I would like to work with you for a strategic and longterm view of our relationship. We need to begin, and i want to welcome you to take our relationship. Reporter this is part of president obamas visit to asia, some critics saying he hasnt followed through to foster stronger ties with the region. The u. S. Touting two announcements, including a trade deal to lower tariffs on hightech goods, creating about 50,000 new jobs. These efforts are not always large and public, they dont always get a lot of attention. But they represent important strides in making our economy stronger. Reporter this is the first stop on president obamas threenation tour throughout asia. Next he heads to myanmar, also known as burma. Many believe the efforts to create a Free Democratic society have stalled, creating yet another complicated backdrop on this trip for the president. Back to you. Thank you much. Well, it took months for lava to reach the first home in its path, but only minutes for that to burn to the ground. The unstoppable lava slowly inching towards the town. Residents, firefighters, could only watch as the home burned, then collapsed. Earlier in the day, lava burned down a small steel storage shed on the property and scorched part of the cemetery. The homes nearest neighbor is about a half a mile away. Still to come, how the bay areas airport food stacked up with the rest of the nation. Plus im scott budman with a david versus goliath story coming up inside the bay area startup being sued by a global conglomerate. Looking forward to that story. Plus, if you havent been outdoors just yet, clouds steadily increasing, a storm system barrelling towards the bay area, one thats going to start our rain chances. Tomorrow, tracking rainfall, then we could potentially be working with seven to eight consecutive days with rain in the forecast. Its really tricky. Im going to show you what im working with right after this break. All right. So heres a global food fight featuring a bay area startup, bill gates and mayonnaise. Scott budman shows us the products. Reporter at Hampton Creek, pretty much every day is a cooking class. But now the San Francisco startup that makes food without eggs is being told to hold the mayo. Weve got to figure out a way to do it differently, and this is our way. Reporter Hampton Creek is being sued by food giant unilever, maker of best foods mayonnaise, over its product called just mayo. The lawsuit says hamptons product shouldnt be called mayonnaise because it doesnt contain eggs. Weve done a lot of work on the legal side, so theres an identity for mayonnaise and we call our product mayo for a reason and got lots of great advice around that. Reporter whatever its called, Hampton Creek is selling a lot of its vegan product, largely by claiming it doesnt taste different from the alternative. They have a point. Really, youre not tasting the eggs in there, youre tasting the inclusion, the chocolate chips, oats and raisins, Peanut Butter youre tasting the Peanut Butter. Reporter but can a startup, even one with financial backing from bill gates, compete with a 116 billion International Consumer giant . That will depend partly on consumers. I think you cant beat regular real mayonnaise. Reporter youre a fan of regular . Yeah. Reporter whole thing in there . Whole thing in there. Reporter and partly on how we all define what mayonnaise is. Scott budman, nbc bay area news. Hampton creeks biggest investor, bill gates. Bill gates. Havent we had this argument about miracle whip, too . Its not mayonnaise. A rose by any other name, kris, i dont know where im going with that. Writers at yahoo travel spent time ranking the food at every major u. S. Airport. The results might surprise you. The writers looked whether food was unique and illustrative of the reason and the quantity and quality of places available. So heres how the bay area stacked up. San jose ranked 51st out of 72. The travel guide giving special recognition to the smoothie shop red mango. Oakland international comes in 42nd, thanks to the pyramid ale tap room and wine bar. Sfo is the shining star, not just of the bay area, but of the state. It is second in the survey, beating out lax. Of note at the airport, the restaurants in terminal 2 and new lounge in terminal 3, which features food from a michelin star winning chef. What is the top airport food . Well, you have to head to the Lone Star State and dallasft. Worth international airport. Im going to assume barbecue. I would assume so. Yes. I would think so. I think that sfo has a good reason to have good restaurants, they have a lot of delays. Got to give people something to eat. Meteorologist Christina Loren is here. No delays today, id say. No, but you know what, youre right. Over the past couple days, we did have delays with low ceilings. This morning were still looking good, but i want to show you the time lapse from pacifica, because we got cool clouds out there. The story of the day, intervals of clouds and sun. I want to show you the time lapse from sunol, most sunshine weve had all day out there. These are mid level clouds. Quite the contrary from the thick fog we had over the past couple days, and temperatures overall are going to end up cooler throughout this afternoon. Dropping numbers by ten degrees from yesterdays highs. Sticking with the 60s. Upper 50s in santa rosa with those clouds really keeping the sky gray and sun from warming you up. 59 degrees there. 64 meanwhile in San Francisco, and 64 degrees in mountain view. Here in beautiful san jose, where the veterans day parade is under way, 63 degrees and comfortable conditions out there. Heres where were headed throughout the day today, you can see whats happening as we take a look at the bay area from space. Those clouds are going to continue to move in. Weve got an area of low pressure just off shore, thats whats driving them in. For tomorrow, same deal. Clouds steadily moving in from that area of low pressure that will eventually bring us rainfall, but not until we get into tomorrow night. So for today, 66 degrees, cool and cloudy, a touch warmer for tomorrow before the showers move in. Expecting the first activity up in the north bay between 8 00 and 10 00 p. M. As we head into your thursday, thats the widespread rainfall day for this week. Overall, though, we carry that jet stream all the way through next week, and were talking about multiple rounds of rain. Here we go. Stop that clock for you, 10 00 p. M. Tomorrow getting pretty good down pours, all the way from highway 92 north through the north bay, sonoma county, heavy rainfall from time to time, the heavy activity pressed into the south bay 4 00 a. M. Thursday morning. A break on friday, good break on saturday, but showers just to our north for saturday and sunday, and that means we could have some drizzle, so we are going to keep about a 10 chance for light activity in the forecast for both saturday and sunday. Not a lot of sunshine. Then watch what happens. We move you forward in time. We stop that clock for you at 2 00 p. M. On monday, and this is when we get the heavy rainfall, because the core of low pressure it looks like will cross right over the north bay, and that could produce some very generous totals. That will continue into 1 00 a. M. Tuesday. Thats the heavy stuff. Thats our biggest weather maker, but even as we continue into wednesday and thursday of next week, keeping rain in the forecast. So this is the game changer that weve been waiting for. This could take a significant dent out of that deficit that weve been running. You know what, overall its looking really good for us to accumulate at least a good one to two inches at the very least up in the north bay. So hey, the tides are changing and in the direction we want it to be. Back to you guys. As long as it falls after the morning newscast, right . Get people to work and settled, then let it rain. Still to come, keeping homes safe in a disaster. Technology could be a game changer when it comes to earthquake safety. Changing the way we build houses in earthquake country. Stanford researchers say they have figured out how to make Single Family homes and apartment buildings resilient to the violent shaking of a major earthquake. From our sister station in Southern California shows us how it works. Reporter amidst the brush off the 15 freeway, the countdown has begun. Four, three, two, one reporter a seismic calamity. An earthquake reenactment, this time its northridge magnitude 6. 8, a conventional twostory model home will move almost 15 inches. When the shaking is over, the house will not only have survived, but it will be unscathed. This could be a game changer. We think so. When you think about large tracts of development, townhouses being built, if they can be built on these isolators, it can kind of mitigate one of the large risks we face in california. Reporter stanford engineering professor says while Much Research has been devoted to highrise buildings and bridges, his team may have found a way to limit earthquake damage where people live, in Single Family homes and apartment buildings. Using something called seismic isolators. Underneath this house theres 12 of these isolators.
