firms were breathtaking in scope and in size. in our view the conduct alleged in this case showcases a brave new world of hacking for profit. shaina: three suspects in the hacking now face several federal charges, including computer hacking and securities and wire fraud. the scheme allegedly dates back to 2007. now volkswagen's move to try to , appease unhappy customers with a gift card may be

it. elizabeth: number two, food again just get rid of them. dvd's you never watch. three,eric: four, expired coupons. can't use 'em, throw 'em. organizing experts say the key is to just throw out things you really don't use don't keep them just in case. elizabeth: tomorrow four more things to throw out right now so and up next political the son of a polish immigrant who grew up in a brooklyn tenement. he went to public schools, then college, where the work of his life began -- fighting injustice and inequality, speaking truth to power. he moved to vermont, won election and praise as one of america's best mayors. in congress, he stood up for working families and for principle, opposing the iraq war, supporting veterans. now he's taking on wall street and a corrupt political system funded by over a million contributions, tackling climate change to create clean-energy jobs, fighting for living wages, equal pay, and tuition-free public colleges. people are sick and tired of establishment politics, and they want real change!

message. eric: welcome back to kcci. the fourth republican debate spilled over the two hour mark last night featuring some of the , lengthiest and most substantive clashes of the campaign. elizabeth: political analyst marc sandalow is here to break it all down. so marc who had the best showing last night? rand paul had his strongest performance yet. john kasich forces way into the conversation. good show is not the same as vote. 103 years ago, october, teddy rose was campaigning on that very same stage. he was shot babe would be assassin with a bullet still lodged in his chest. he pulled out the campaign speech and said it takes more than that to kill bull moose. that is a show. teddy got six states and 27% of the vote that year. good show does not mean you get the president. eric: will the debate shake up the race? marc: i did not see it last night. the couple of those guys are barely pulling a pulse and iowa. haunt a candidate. donald trump said wages are too high. the middle class does not like to be told they are making too much money. hillary clinton was listening to that line carefully. elizabeth: there was a lot of criticism of what some called the gotcha questions in the previous debate. do you think last night was different? marc: it was. this was much more substantive. the questions were focused on policy. much more than that, there was eight of them on stage. they give them 90 seconds to respond. that led to debate about do you deport undocumented immigrants? should america be the world's policeman? it is great for policy. it may not have gotten the viewership. eric: thanks marc sandalow. new stories you'll see after 5:30. what a 13-year-old boy home alone did to stop a burglar from breaking into his home. what some schools are doing to cut down on the risk of concussions to high school players. and the attention-grabbing signs one community is using to get drivers to stop when they're supposed to. elizabeth: it is also veterans day. we spotted wells

osceola and bedford, a light shower. it is all lifting to the northeast and it is still across nebraska through colorado but it will be arriving this afternoon. des moines a smile that 52, not expecting severe weather this morning but between noon and 6:00 p.m. that will be the likeliest time to get severe weather including a threat for damaging wind and isolated tornadoes. the best chances for severe weather this afternoon. shaina: ok, as metinka said, brace yourself for some wild weather today. this is actually a huge system of storms that will affect a large portion of the u.s. strong tornadoes are a threat here in central iowa, along with rain and high winds. the national weather service is urging people to review safety plans. polk county emergency management also sent out an alert to businesses to be aware. now this system is coming from the great plains east of denver. it's affecting nebraska, kansas, wyoming, it is snowing right there. colorado, kansas and western nebraska could get 6 inches from this system. as it moves east, the snow will turn into rain. these storms will be fast moving too, so our weather team will be here every minute to keep you safe. you will learn of any watches and warnings here first on kcci, kcci.com, facebook, twitter, and our mobile weather app is great on the go. you can check interactive radar throughout the day. two more developing stories. a recovery operation is set to begin at daybreak in akron, ohio. a private business jet crashed into an apartment building, killing all 9 passengers on board. the small jet took off from dayton, and was on approach to land when it clipped a telephone line. officials say no one was inside the apartments at the time. and authorities in south carolina say a 13-year-old who burglar. the charleston county sheriff's office says the boy heard someone trying to get into the home tuesday afternoon, so he got his mother's gun and went to the back door. the boy told authorities he fired the gun through the door and the person outside fired back. the would-be burglar died at the hospital. eric: now to today's big stories in central iowa. authorities have released the names of 3 victims who survived sunday's shooting at a nightclub. 25-year-old geraldine lindsey of illinois, along with 19-year-old marquise thompson and 33-year-old steve gibbs, both of des moines, were all

gilbert in lighter fluid and his arraignment is december 4th. also in west des moines, the drury inn is facing a complaint by the aclu. the complaint says back in july meagan taylor, a black , transgender woman, spent eight days in jail because of discrimination of her race and gender identity. it says hotel staff called police to report taylor and her friend were engaging in prostitution because they were "men dressed as women." all charges were eventually dismissed. drury inn did not return calls for comment. eric: and as we are preparing for the possibility of severe weather today, we look back 10 years ago this week when 12 tornadoes ripped through central iowa. this is video caught by a storm chaser near woodward on november 12th 2005. 10 years ago this week. dozens of buildings were destroyed including a casey's store, a real estate office and several homes. that storm did $18 million in damage. that same night, a tornado hit stratford and iowa state had to before a football game. that was kind of a wild november weekend. it can happen again. metinka: it's kind of hard to wrap your mind around the tornado. everybody is thinking about holidays and snow. november tornadoes do occur. in eight separate events since 1950, we have had 35 and 12 of those happened 10 years ago tomorrow. it can happen but hopefully it will not happen today so stay prepared in case. drizzle, light shower activity breaking out toward new virginia and oh selah -- osceola. between noon and 6:00 p.m., we have the highest chances. we have enhanced risk for tornadoes. you could even see heavy rainfall. elizabeth: it's veterans day today, and one local community has created a project that perry. alyx, what is the poppy tribute? alyx: eric and elizabeth, the project is something remarkable and it's a way to bring remembrance and honor to veterans who have lost their lives and survived any wars they participated in. the town of perry wanted to find a way they could celebrate and honor these veterans through the poppy project. it is amazing art put together at the art center in front of a high school in perry. what does each face in the poppy represent? >> i wanted these not just to be an art piece but to represent individual souls that were lost and loved. people that saw the sunset glow. i also put in pieces of their to give a sense that our veterans are not just a direct digital -- a group of people, they are families, characters passed on through the ages. i don't want them to be forgotten. alyx: when can people come by and see it? >> we are here today from 8:00 to noon. this weekend is art on the prairie. this building will be open and folks can come from 1:00 to 5:00 on saturday at 1:00 to 4:00 on sunday. here at "in flanders' fields". alyx: thank you

how these new high-tech helmets can better protect players on the football field. elizabeth: saving lives, an urbandale woman's warning after she was diagnosed with the same disease that killed her mother. eric: and keep the change. the major restaurant chain >> this is iowa's news leader. this is kcci 8 news this morning. with eric hanson, elizabeth klinge, meteorologist kurtis gertz, and right-now coverage with shaina humphries. metinka: good morning, we are waking up at 5:44 with showers across southwest iowa but the main activity holds off until this afternoon. rain early today followed by possible sunshine if the sky happens to clear out in your neighborhood. that will give you an enhanced risk to see severe weather, storms will become stronger and more explosive during the afternoon. severe storms possible with enhanced risk across the southern half of the state. the timing would be afternoon through 6:00 p.m. and the storms will race quickly off to the north and northeast today at a county per hour. that's roughly 50 miles per hour. get access to advanced warnings because you will have little time to react if we have tornadoes developing. we will time out by the hour so you will know when to expect rain. elizabeth: thanks metinka. eight -- this is startling. eight high school football players have died on the field this season. eric: a scary thought for parents of players, and schools are now looking at whether helmets are safe enough. shaina: doctors say all football players, including high schoolers, have a 75% chance of suffering a concussion. one in five have more than one. eric: the numbers so troubling to one high school in new york, they almost canceled the football season last year. instead, the school board bought the team five-star safety rated helmets. the high-tech helmets have wireless sensors that instantly notify coaches of potentially dangerous hits. kevin trentowski: the crown of the helmet has a little cutout here that gives. and another big change, there used to be bolts and screws over here on the front of the forehead, those are now moved to the temple. eric: one biomedical engineer has been studying this, and he says moving to these high-tech helmets can cut the risk of concussion by 50%. of course the higher-rated helmets cost a lot more, between $200 and $400 each. but if there's a hundred guys on the team it can add up. shaina: also wanted to share the story of a young urbandale mom. she's hoping to help others by sharing her story. meredith wilharber was recently diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that affects arteries in the lungs and the heart, making it hard for oxygen to flow through your body. her mom died 23 years ago of the same disease. symptoms often include shortness of breath, chest pain and fatigue. wilharber says early detection can save lives so she created the blue lips foundation in hopes of raising awareness about this little-known disease. meredith wilharber: early detection is huge in pulmonary hypertensdion. from a class three or a class four that fatality rate goes up by 50% in the first few years. shaina: the wilharbers are hoping the blue lips foundation will help fund research for new diagnostic tools and screening methods. elizabeth: glad they're speaking up about it. well morning buzz time. we talked about this a little earlier, joe's crab shack is now the first major restaurant chain to stop tipping. the ceo says the no-tipping policy will be applied to all 113 locations, including the one in west des moines. he says it will level out the competitive waiter culture and give employees more financial stability. the starting wage will go up to $14 an hour. the restaurant will also now raise the price of menu items. eric: your instant feedback in our now poll. what do you think of the no-tipping trend? is it good? would you rather keep tipping? people seem to have been enjoying with a been doing at 59%. let us know by calling 200-1508, going online. shaina: ok, had to show you the rather unique way branson, missouri is trying to get drivers to obey stop signs. they've been having such a problem with it, people rolling through they posted these signs, , reading "really, you have to stop." they say it's working so far, definitely grabbing driver's attention. you might have to stop just to read and chuckle at it. eric: time is now 5:48, we could be in for some mild weather. kcci will be keeping an eye on the sky through the day. metinka: a chance for severe weather is the talk of the town. deanne writes on our facebook page, "wonder what this weather advisory would be if it was snow. isn't it 1 inch of rain equal to 10 inches of snow? thankful its rain." elizabeth: and kathleen, "hang
