New lawsuits against dozens of tobacco and ecigarette companies accuse offend failing to warn exposures to several harmful chemicals. Bob redell joins us with more on the local nonprofit calling for action. The oakland bay center for Environment Environmental Health has filed these lawsuits against 14 tobacco and ecig companies and the center claims that these companies have failed to warn consumers that ecigs contain nicotine and fail to warn that some ecigarette products contain unsafe levels of one or both of the cancercausing chemicals. Now, the lawsuit argues that after violation of california prop 65, a lawsuit that requires companies to disclose that kind of Public Health information between february and october, the center hired an independent lab to conduct chemical tests on 97 different ecigarettes. The Battery Power devices that vaporize liquid that the user then inhales. The results showed that 90 of the companies had at least one product that contained unsafe levels of at least one of those cancercausing chemicals. Now, tobacco vapor Electronic Cigarette association, thats the trade group. We just spoke with them on the phone and they criticize the cent center for Environmental Health. Those cancercausing chemicals only show up when someone misuses the cigarette and claims that ecig use has led to the largest decline of conventional tobacco use which has killed millions of people over the years. Theyre arguing that theyre much safer than conventional Tobacco Products like cigarettes and weaning people off of that by putting them on to their products. Laura . Thanks so much.

Today in the bay San Francisco square starts trading on the stock market. Scott mcgrew joining us now. You say this is an important one for everyone involved here, whether youre investing in the company or not. Thats right. For right or for wrong, a lot of people are using the success or failure of square to predict the future success or failure of the bay area economy. Thats a lot to put on a Small Company that helps businesses take credit cards and probably not fair. But it is the first tech ipo weve seen in a while and square is one of those socalled unicorns. The Company Worth more than a billion dollars. So last night square went to its early investors and said, how much would you be willing to pay us for a share of square and the answer was not good. Investors said 9. Thats a lot less than square had hoped. Now, part of this could be the worry about the bay area economy. About the tech economy, but could be a worry about this guy. The square founder and ceo jack dorsy cant run both square and his other company, twitter, of which he is also in charge. Well talk more about the implications of all this and square first trade on the nyse as the morning progresses. Lets check the news before the bell. Landon dowdy is live at cnbc world headquarters. Good morning, landon. Hey, good morning, scott. Markets look to extend wednesdays rally today. Futures are higher. Stocks rose after the fed released minutes from last months policy meeting which showed most members are open to raising Interest Rates in december. The first rate hike in nearly a decade. Look for data today on unemployment and manufacturing. The dow rising 247 points. Its best day in four weeks to 1773. The nasdaq up 89 to 5075. Scott, back over to you. Thanks. Landon mentioned the fed minutes, they really are like tea leaves. You have to figure out what the fed governors are thinking. The minutes of the most recent meeting do show the a majority of the open markets committee do want to see an Interest Rate hike in december. That fact combine would the dow actually rising that 240 points yesterday, even though investors had that fed information then, to me, guys shows the bad news of Interest Rates already baked in and we worried about it earlier and then even come december, well be kay. Tea leaves, huh. You think janet yellson a tea drinking kind of lady. I agree with that. Very distinguished. Thank you. 5 13 right now. Lets get a look at that forecast from kari. Cold to start, but warming up nicely as we go through the day. We had some great weather these past few days. But, we need some rain. And it looks like it takes a while before it gets here. But were holding on to that hope. As we take a live look now at san jose, we see clear skies this morning. We did have some fog yesterday morning. But we may see that moving in, once again, even though we are not seeing it now. Taking a look at this camera view. This is what you need to know before you head out the door. The weather headlines mainly clear. And sunrise at 6 51. Sunny and falllike weather again today and near 70 degrees, especially inland. And clear and breezy as we go through the rest of the day. Sunset now at 4 54 in the afternoon. These days are so short. And looking at these temperatures now. Its 44 degrees in concord. Oakland 45 degrees and san carlos at 48 degrees. And we havent seen much of its change in this weather because of High Pressure just to the west of us. Its strong and it is stubborn. Its keeping a lot of those cold fronts in these areas of low pressure well to the north of us and keeping the rain away from the bay area. And into the next few days, we will start to see some changes, but, once again, it takes a while before it gets here. In the meantime, we have more of this dry and warm weather with a lack of fronts or any rain chances as we go through the weekend. Highs will be in the upper 60s heading into tomorrow as well as saturday. And on sunday, 66 degrees in San Francisco. So, no major changes. So, when will we see some rain . Looks like it holds off until tuesday and this is early Tuesday Morning at 6 00 we start to see some green here on the map showing that there could be some rain and some heavy snow possible for the sierra as many of us get on the road just in time for the thanksgiving holiday. Well keep you up to date on that and lets check in with mike to see how it looks on the road. Critical for tuesdays commute, as well. Folks trying to finish off all their weekly work before they take off wednesday, thursday, friday. Well see how that plays out. Dublining as you would predict right here right now for 50 westbound. That is your commute direction and see the build for the volume. Look at your map and show you where the focus points are. Typical about this time and as we see that build out of the altamont. Along 580 and into the trivalley. As we move the maps for the rest of the bay, we dont see any real problems. A little build for the south bay and speed still close to the limit throughout the Silicon Valley freeways. You see slowing out of antioch, pittsbu pittsburg, bay point, no problems for the approach to the upper east shore freeway or the north bay. Lets look at san rafael where we have a smooth, easy drive right now. Back to you. Hey, youre making thanksgiving dinner this year, mike . Yeah. Dig a little deeper in those pockets of yours. It will cost you a little more this year to host it. The American Farm bureau just released new numbers this morning saying the average cost for thanksgiving dinner for ten just over 50. Thats up 70 cents from last year. Whats driving up that price . They say turkey, pumpkin pie mix, rolls and stuffing all a little more expensive. More expensive to get the stuff yourself. I hope to get stuffed, but that being said, i feel like we say its not 50 to get a thanksgiving dinner. For ten people. Thats a good. Coming up next, tamale take down. The reason federal agents seize the delicious meals by the hundreds. Now an Investigative Unit exclusive laura ots they served in war zones but now to an Investigative Unit exclusive. They served in war zones, but the real fight started when they returned home. Tonight, they, the National Guard members, tell nbc bay area Investigative Unit they battled the guard for answers to simple benefit requests after being injured in the line of duty. We first told you the california National Guard led the way in letting down members of the guard. Government records and new testimony for Service Members reveal overdue requests in every single state in the nation. Military has known about the problem for years but yet to fix that backlog. That acceptable frat your perspective . This is something that needs careful oversight, they need an action plan of how to reduce the backand they need to move quickly and put someone in charge. Tonight at 11 00, Investigative Reporter tony travels to our Nations Capital asking why some guard members have had to wait more than four years for answers. If you have a tip for our Investigative Unit, give us a call 1888996tips or send us an email. The smuggling bust at lax and were not talking about smuggled drugs. Custom agents at lax seized 450 pork tamales from a traveler earlier this month. They say the man coming from mexico admitted to having food on a declaration form, but denied it was pork. Here is why thats relevant. Customs agents say that pork could introduce foreign animal diseases into the u. S. The traveler was hit with a 1,000 fine and the tamales were thrown out.

A coffeetype day, starting out, at least, something to keep you warm as you head to work or school this morning. And as we take a look at some of these temperatures in the lower 40s in the north bay and 50 in San Francisco, while the east bay is at 45 degrees. A few spots we may see some clouds and fog, but then as we go through the day, bright and sunny and warming up, once again. Pleasant conditions as we feel some temperatures slightly above average heading into the thanksgiving holiday. So, ill detail that coming up. Lets see how it looks at the bay bridge with mike. About average. We have the lanes filled in as we expect this thursday. We have a build in the volume and we should see those metering lights confirmed in the next few second by the time i get back to my desk. As we look at our map, no drama at the toll plaza itself, just the metering lights and slower drive out of the maze. Just starting to build for this thursday as we look at the rest of the traffic flow, we do have a car fire reported and chp arrives the south bay by comparison, same thing as the peninsula moves very clearly, guys. Well send it back to you. Thank you very much, mike. We are following breaking news this morning. A search is under way this morning for a woman reported missing a after jet skiing in the napa river. Today in the bay Stephanie Chuang just arrived on the scene. They found her jet ski, but not her. Yeah, the search continues this morning, laura. The coast guard saying the missing jet skier is a woman in her 50s and the search started at 10 00 last night. Were talking seven hours later around Morris Landing here by the napa county airport. Give you a better idea of where we are. We havent seen anybody out in the water since we have been here. We know that one big challenge is theness around here. So, the search has been scale back. Overnight, search and rescue crews used a boat with a spotlight in the water scouring all parts of the water for any of the this missing woman. Napa county Sheriff Deputies also canvassing stretches along the napa river here with flashlights by the shoreline and at one point a helicopter was helping in the search. All that is known right now is that this woman was out on a jet ski, unclear how long she had been missing since the search started last night. One report that she was out for a little while. Been missing for a little while already by the time 10 00 when the u. S. Coast guard got the report that she was missing. Now, one sheriffs search boat may be in the water, again. We havent seen it so far here. We know the coast guard is not searching right now. It will resume the search when it is light out and the sunrise should be happening here around 7 00 this morning. Live here by the napa river, Stephanie Chuang. For that reason, we should keep you updated on the latest search that is going on. Any new information well bring it to you. Also for the latest, head to our website, nbcbayarea. Com or download our free nbc bay area map. More breaking news. Just an hour ago we learned the ledged mastermind behind the paris terror attacks is dead. Kris, originally the hold up is that body after the raid was unidentifiable. Also, it takes time to identify the fingerprints and skin samples, sam. But the french Prosecutor Says it appears that Abdelhamid Abaaoud was shot to death. This is the man were talking about, the 27yearold belgian who was killed in that sevenhour siege we reported yesterday morning. His body removed from that apartment in north paris yesterday. His identity now confirmed via fingerprints. This is video just into our newsroom at 4 00 this morning, in which you can see french forensic teams still on the scene of that attack analyzing the site of that shootout where police fired more than 5,000 shots. And we have new images this morning from inside one of the paris cafes that was shot up by terrorists. We obtained this from the dailymail. Com. It shows flying glass and people scrambling for cover. Now, between those images and this new propaganda video, new york is on edge this morning. The video shows times square as well as restaurants and taxi cabs on new york city streets with images from the paris attacks and terrorists with guns and suicide belts. But new york city leaders say this propaganda was just thrown together and released to take advantage of peoples raw nerves. There is no credible and threat against new york city. New york, obviously, remains one of the top terrorist targets in the world. That video, our review of it, it looks like it has been hastily produced. It is a mismash of previously released video. Now, also new this morning this vote in belgium, the announcement of a 427 million antiterror plan in response to the paris attacks and, as you know by now, several of those attackers had ties to belgium. Now, again, the Biggest Development of the day is the confirmation of the death of Abdelhamid Abaaoud. We will continue to follow that for you all morning long. Sam and laura. News still trickling in. Thank you very much. Meantime, the latest isis threat adding on to the heightened fear here in the united states. Tracie potts continues our coverage in washington, d. C. Lawmakers will decide if its too much of a risk to allow Syrian Refugees into the u. S. Exactly, laura and sam. Theyll start that process. A house vote set for today on whether or not they want to put a halt to temporarily curve this program that allows refugees, mostly syrian now into the united states. Argument here on the hill has been that we cant fully verify or not they are connected with isis. To be easy for someone from isis to slip into the country as a refugee. We heard from president obama, again, this morning overseas saying thats not necessary that these are women and children who have been driven from their homes. Mostly women and children who have been driven from their homes and that there is such a lengthy verification process, up to twos, that this is not posing a significant risk to the united states. What it is, he argued, is political posturing. But thats not the feeling here on capitol hill. And it is not the feeling around the country. Our new nbc News Survey Monkey online poll shows 56 ofs, well over half now, believe that we should not be letting more Syrian Refugees in. At least not now. Back to you. Continue to be debated. Thank you, tracie. Is the device that brought a russian plane down over egypt last month is that what youre looking at right here. Thats what isis is claiming. The terror Group Released a soda can bomb that crashed a jet that killed 224 people over the sinai peninsula. Nbc has not verified that photo. The New York Times spoke with an explosive expert who said this kind of device is nothing new and pretty easy to construct. Detitated by timer or Remote Control and could pack the force of a hand grenade that could enough to break up a jet midair. Other experts confirm it is miss information aimed at getting the group more attention. You never know what is happening behind closed doors. They live and work in our communities but hiding a painful secret. Human trafficking continues to be a problem in the bay area. This 23yearold woman from spain says she answered an ad in december to work at the restaurant and salon in saratoga. She doesnt want tareveal her identity because shes a witness in a humaning investigation. She said they paid her airfare from spain but did not pay her. And have to go to the restaurant and keep working. In july, she and five other workers told authorities. Investigators served search warrants. They arrested the owner, his wife and another man. The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Department says the six victims are now getting help. New this morning, new lawsuits filed against dozens of tobacco and ecigarette companies. The bay area Nonprofit Organization claims that it found cancercausing chemicals in the companys products, which consumers were allegedly not warned about. A warning from the tobacco industry. Good morning, bob. Good morning, laura. We spoke with the Electronic Cigarette association. They tell us that they think these lawsuits against the ecig companies is misguided and they claim the center for Environmental Health makes its money off of these kind of lawsuits. Now, in its lawsuits, ceh claims that 14 tobacco and ecig companies have failed to warn consumers that ekricigs contain nicotine and fail to warn that some ecig products contain unsafe levels. The violation of californias prop 65, thats a law that requires companies to disclose that kind of Public Health information between february and october, the center hired an independent lab to conduct chemical tests on 97 different e ecigarettes. The Battery Power devices. The results showed that 90 of the companies had at least one product that contained unsafe levels of at least one of those cancer causing chemicals.  the ecigarettes by the cdc standards is clearly less harmful than cuventional tobacco product. Which is the deadliest product on the planet. They are Suing Companies that are trying to eliminate the longterm effects of conventional Tobacco Products. So, i dont, i dont understand where thats coming from. That was the tobacco vapor Electronic Cigarette association which, obviously, against this lawsuit. It claims that those cancer causing chemicals are only caused, only appear when their products are misused. Reporting live here in the newsroom, bob rdell, nbc bay area. Thank you so much, bob. Another clear start to your day here and beautifully even though they have been cold to start. Yes, cold to start. But ive been loving the afternoons getting outside and taking in all of that sunshine and warm weather. But it is cool to start. Its 38 degrees in napa and san jose at 46 degrees. Highs today in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Once again, San Francisco up to 66 degrees and 73 in santa rosa and more 70s on the map here and into the next few days. That will be the case as our weather stays dry. Ill let you know when we could see some rain coming up in less than ten minutes and lets see how it looks as we get possibly a slow down heading towards the san mateo bridge. Yeah, karia concern. First the span itself and picking up the westbound volume coming off the hayward side and let me show you the concern over on the hayward side. Not far from there reports of a car fire on the right shoulder. This is northbound 880 where the interchange is right behind you, folks. Congested area and smoke in the air will destruct probably both sides of the freeway and see slowing southbound in your commute. No injuries reported and the person who called the fire in is the driver. Chp will arrive and give us more information. The rest of your bay, as you would expect, slowing for the trivalley and the bay bridge metering lights are on. Back to you. Thanks so much. Taking over social media. The number of twitter accounts belonging to isis is a startling number. Well give it to you, next. Plus, what not to do before an ipo. Ill clear my throat and tell you all about it, coming up. And sam had just mentioned isis. You know, no doubt a certain image comes to mind, but why a San Francisco woman doesnt like it saying its actually destroying her social media life. A San Francisco woman is venting her frustrations on social media after facebook suspended her account all a San Francisco woman is venting out her frustrations on social media after facebook suspended her account all because of her name. Her name is isis and she explained in a series of tweets that her personal facebook account had been suspended. Is she said that facebook thinks im a terrorist sending a screenshot of my passport is not good enough for them to reopen my account. Facebook is backtracking saying the suspension is an error and her account had been flagged by other users as fake or offensive. Facebook says the account is now back up and running. Its no mistake that isi is taking over social media. 100,000 twitter accounts belong to isis recruiters or supporters. Now, a newly created program is able to identify those accounts. A Company Called White Canvas Group created software that identifies isis recruiters and their sites. Some have already been shut down or altered by other organizations. Its telling us with 95 to 100 accuracy based on the bundles, this is a bad guy. This is a bad guy. This is a bad guy. Founder tim newberry says he hopes more members of the Hacking Community will embrace the idea and help shut down the isis recruiting pipeline. The plans to release the software for free to anyone who wants to help. Now to the Silicon Valley link to isis. The San Francisco start up called cloud fair being criticized by many including the group anonymous. It protects websites from crashing or being hacked reportedly close to 40 isis related websites are being protected by. The companys ceo did not comment whether it supports proisis websites but did say it will stop supporting websites if asked to do so by the u. S. Government. And a messaging app favored by isis will crack down on some of the messaging. Scott mcgrew, you were telling about telegram. Telegram actually has two functions, sam. One is the secret, private messages that Law Enforcement and for that matter the Telegram Company itself cant decrypt and also a public announcement function, something that everybody can see and telegram this morning says it has disabled public isis messages. The one that it can see. Now, we dont know if the attackers in paris used telegram or any kind of app but we know that isis does encrypted messaging. The prosecutor in manhattan issued a report saying his office could not serve warrants on more than 100 people because police couldnt get in the suspects phones. Encryption and privacy and Public Safety are a big worry. Now, that prosecutor is under some political pressure over his lack of success prosecuting some financial crimes. So, it is possible hiss new interest in fighting terrorists on cell phones may be an intentional distraction by his office. If the name sounds familiar, his father was aerkt of state. San franciscobased square offered shares to its investors last night at a price of 9, far below the ipo price. The company was hoping for. It will start trading today. Well talk more about it on the 6 00 hour. Meanwhile, match, the dating service, will also start trading today. Its Parent Company iac is spinning that company out. That company also owns okay cupid and tinder. Traditional for all Company Execs to keep quiet before an ipo. Its literally called a quiet peri period. That did not stop the ceo of tinder. Not only using a sexual term, but using it incorrectly, clearly not understanding the definition. He also turns out and says hes a traditionally romantic because he only slept. His Parent Company filed paperwork with the security and Exchange Commission distancing themselves from their own employee it was that bad. Wow. Classy. Wildly popular, but also not necessarily known as the most pg, i guess. Right. Yeah. Thats where i was going with that. Thank you, scott. Swipe it away from the we have mike inouye. I dont know if thats good or bad. Lets get a quick check of some cold temperatures, again. But things. Definitely a warm jacket or a coat and youll be taking it off as we go through the day. Were heading into the 70s in many spots. A live look now at san jose. You see there is a thin layer of some clouds out there. We had that yesterday. More fog developing. But it clears out and well see some sunshine and any rain and any clouds that weve seen or fog has been very spotty. This is what you need to know as you head out. Heres your weather headlines. Mostly clear this morning. Sunrise at 6 51 and sunny and falllike day hitting the low 70s, once again. And then staying mostly clear tonight and sun set at 4 54. Take it hour by hour in san jose. Into the lower 50s as we go through the morning. 11 00, its 61 and lunchtime its 63 degrees. Sunshine, comfortable, beautiful day. Reaching into the upper 60s, once again. And weve had the same kind of weather all throughout the week because High Pressure, very strong and its not budging. Its just to the west of us.
