here are the headlines at the bottom of the hour. 49ers defensive lineman ray mcdonald spoke to the media for the first time today since prosecutors decided not to charge him with domestic violence. mcdonald said the d.a. made the right decision because he's no ray rice. rice, the former nfl star who was seen punching his then fiancee, now wife, on surveillance video. mcdonald said he's glad it's over and he and his wife plan to move on with their lives together. a santa rosa boy is in serious condition after falling off a bodega bay cliff yesterday. alyssa harrington tweeted this picture of the terrain he tumbled down. he said 4-year-old boy survived fall down 225 foot cliff. at 5:00 and 6:00, i speak with first responders. also, three san jose women and a team from chico arrived back in the u.s. today after being detained in russia last

week. abc 7 news reporter david louie live with their story at the airport. david? >> reporter: we are at san francisco international airport. never did four young people ever imagine going to russia and finding themselves being covertly followed and then photographed and then taken into custody by police, detained, questioned and charged with visa violations. they were volunteers with the oakland based nonprofit california association of student counsels. the three women, all from san jose, and an 18-year-old from chico arrived back at san francisco international a short time ago, welcomed home by their families. they were taken into custody late last week in st. petersburg while in russia to train and counsel russian high school students on leadership and skills development. they were told they had entered russia on tourist visas but were required to have business visas. they were in court three times, were appointed non-english speaking attorneys and were eventually fined $100 each.

they saw evidence in court that russian authorities have been following them, taking photos. they believe it's part of a russian initiative to harass nonprofits doing any kind of programs with americans. >> we went on this peer-to-peer dialogue grant. i'm sure that concept makes them uncomfortable. there's a lot of attention being given to nonprofit organizations in russia right now where the government is trying to classify certain [ inaudible ] as foreign agents. >> we weren't really sure if it was going to be a precedent case where they would give us a much more severe punishment or would this be the same fine a lot of other people have gotten. >> reporter: now, this is the visa at the heart of this international incident. the four delegates had applied for tourist visas but the russians kept insisting it had to be business visas. u.s. koembassy staff stepped ino help. the program was to go on for a few more days before it was decided best to return home immediately. this incident may have a chilling effect on a return visit by russian students who

have been invited to cupertino for an exchange program in a few months. it's ironic that the young man you saw, sterling winter, comes from a family with a long history of fostering better relations between russia and the u.s. his mother paved the way for student russians to come as students to the u.s. during the late '80s. his father was in russia earlier this year to help train volunteers for the winter olympics in sochi. david louie, abc 7 news. >> thank you, david. the elite navy s.e.a.l. who claims to have fired the shot to kill bin laden is giving very specific details of how it happened. abc's karen travers has more. >> reporter: he says he's the navy s.e.a.l. who shot and killed osama bin laden and now we are seeing and hearing from rob o'neill on the raid for the first time in a special airing tonight on fox news. >> it's bin laden. they found him. we're going to go get him. >> reporter: he says when s.e.a.l. team 6 first began training for this dangerous and

daring mission, they weren't told they would be targeting the world's most wanted terrorist. >> they told us a couple of things like we are going to read you in eventually and they said a few names that didn't make sense. >> reporter: a few days later, o'neill says they realized they were going after bin laden. in the middle of the night, may 2011, o'neill and his team moved secretly into pakistan. he says they felt the mission might be their last. >> the more we trained on it, the more we realized this is going to be a one-way mission. we are going to go and we're not going to come back. we will die when the house blows up. we will die when he blows up. or we are going to be there too long and get arrested by the pakistanis. >> reporter: he told the "washington post" he crept up the stairs to bin laden's bedroom and came face to face with the al qaeda leader. he told the paper bin laden died instantly after he shot him in the forehead. military commanders are not happy that s.e.a.l.s are talking about special operations. they have reminded that

community that one of its core values is behaving quietly and not seeking public recognition. karen travers, abc news, washington. the u.s. is now ebola-free. an emergency room doctor from new york city went home today 19 days after being diagnosed with that dreaded virus. >> my early detection, reporting and now recovery from ebola speaks to the effectiveness of the protocols that are in place for health staff returning from west africa. i am a living example of how those protocols work and of how early detection is critical to both surviving ebola and ensuring that it is not transmitted to others. >> mayor bill diblasio hugged the doctor during the press conference. he contracted ebola while working for doctors without borders in guinea. president obama opened two days of talks with the chinese president today in beijing. she escorted the president

through the sprawling imperial gardens next to the forbidden city. the evening sets the stage for in-depth talks tomorrow. earlier today, the president announced the u.s. and china have reached an understanding in negotiations to eliminate tariffs on high tech goods such as medical devices and semiconductors. despite the trade deal, it's this image of russian president vladimir putin slipping a shawl over china's first lady during an event last night that's getting worldwide attention. as you can see, she rebuffs the gesture. that caused a huge buzz on social media in china with some musing that putin was flirting with her. the chinese government wasn't having it and quickly scrubbed it from the internet. the incident has been dubbed coat-gate by some media outlets. abc 7 news is encouraging you to give where you live this thanksgiving for our 23rd annual food drive. >> we have partnered with several bay area food banks. spencer christian is live at the alameda county community food

bank with more. >> reporter: yes, right here in oakland, one of the great things about our give where you live food drive is it's attracting so many volunteers, people giving time and energy to help collect and distribute food. look at some of the volunteers we have here right now. we have the raiderettes, over here wrapping up food. we have volunteers from holy name high school over here. we also have boy scouts, local boy scouts and girl scouts helping us out. joining me is one of the boy scouts, 10-year-old luke. how are you? >> good. >> reporter: why is it important for kids your age to help out with an effort like this? >> i think it's good for kids about my age to help in community services like the food drive because it gets them more used to working in communities services and possibly making it more likely for them to do community services in the future, and besides, people would rather give food to a cute cub scout than a guy who is coming up to their door. >> reporter: you're right about that. i'm glad we got cute scouts here

helping us out. you can help out by texting the word feed, f-e-e-d to 80077 for a $10 donation. how about all the volunteers? isn't this a great effort? it's just terrific. >> you better hope luke doesn't want to do the weather. he might appeal to the younger demographic we are seeking. terrific. that's good fun out there. thanks. still ahead on abc 7 news at 4:00, an elaborate tech proposal falls flat. plus, it is not just any first dance for a new husband and wife. why this was such a big surprise. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist sandhya patel getting a gorgeous view of the sun going down from the east bay hills camera. enjoy it while it lasts. much needed rain is coming. details are straight ahead. 4:36, checking your traffic in san francisco on the skyway, it looks not good. on the right-hand side is your traffic heading south toward 101 south. south bay on the left-hand side.

is really sort of -- she's a model. she's a model. she might be a little thick in places where you're not used to models being thick but you know what -- >> where is she thick? >> you can watch "the view" weekdays at 10:00 a.m. on abc 7. the conversation continues right now where you live at facebook.com/abc7news. women no longer have to sit in a doctor's office to find out about freezing their eggs. they can learn from inside a restaurant listening to the egg whisperer. a doctor spoke in walnut creek tonight. about 15 people attended her party last night. this comes after facebook and apple announced they would pay for employees to have their eggs frozen while they work. it was one shot in an exhibition basketball game but meant so much for a university of michigan player last night. [ cheers ] >> the freshman brought fans to their feet when he sank that

simple free throw. the point didn't matter because the wolverines won by 43. but it's what it symbolized that meant so much. this 20-year-old has survived two plane crashes. the first one killed his mom and two siblings. the second killed his father and stepmom. this game was the first time he played at michigan since accepting his scholarship just weeks before his father's death back in 2011. >> the transition that he's still going through right now is not easy and it's just every day you say let's just do today. he smiles and is happy to be at michigan and that certainly was a great moment for him in his career and his time as a student athlete. >> that crash in 2011 left austin in a coma for two months. he did not step back on to a basketball court until last january. michigan, to their credit, did not give up on him. they honored his scholarship and he rewarded them and himself with a lifetime memory.

something in your toothpaste could be harming your gums. >> 7 on your side's michael finney reports on concern being raised by the american chemical society trade group. >> this is interesting. the concern is over something commonly referred to as microbeads, the tiny little beads in your teeth paste and face cream. the beads are showing up in people's gums and the food chain. they are also going down the drain and into rivers and streams. researcher sherry mason says 87% of the plastic she pulled out from the great lakes was from these tiny particles. no one knows for sure what harm the beads are doing to the gums or the food chain. proctor & gamble which makes crest toothpaste is phasing them out in 2016 after a dental worker says she found them stuck in patients' gums. the state of illinois has outlawed the tiny discs. it expects a complete phase-out by 2019. mercedes-benz is not immune to the recent rash of recalls.

this will be youtube video from a mercedes dealership of the 2015 c-300. the automaker today says it's recalling 11,000 c-300 and 400 models because the cars could lose steering at low speeds. mercedes issued the recall after two incidents outside of the united states. many of the nation's restaurants and restaurant chains are honoring our veterans today with free meals. active military personnel and veterans can get free entrees from applebee's, california pizza kitchen, chili's, hooters and red robin tonight. discounts and free items are being offered at starbucks, red lobster and macy's. check with each merchant for specific details. you can go to my facebook page because right there i have a huge list of what's going on here in the bay area and around the country. >> thank you, michael. up next, helping women crack the code. the local coding boot camp that's throwing out stereotypes

in tech. i'm dan ashley in the abc 7 newsroom. new at 5:00, tech toys for your kids. 7 on your side's michael finney returns with a look at the ones loaded with creativity. and -- >> i have four dogs. >> i have three dogs and one cat. >> the oakland raiders go to the dogs. why they say it's time for pet lovers to step up. we will see you for abc 7 news at 5:00.

hey john,whoa!k it out. yeah, i was testing to see if we really can turn any device in your house into a tv. and the tablet worked just fine. but i wanted to see if the phone would work as well. so i shrunk sharon. every channel is live just like on tv. but it's my phone. it's genius. shh! i'm watching tv. tiny sharon is mean. i'm right here. watch any channel live on any device around your home. download the xfinity tv app today.

which means it's time thfor the volkswagens here, sign-then-drive event. for practically just your signature, you could drive home for the holidays in a german-engineered volkswagen. like the sporty, advanced new jetta and the well-crafted all-new golf. if you're wishing for a new volkswagen this season just about all you need is a finely tuned... pen. get zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit and zero first month's payment on select new volkswagen models. they're called coding boot camps springing up all over the country. the fast track programs designed to turn beginners into computer programmers in just a few months. >> most of the students are men but we take you to a bay area school teaching coding for women only. >> reporter: throw away your stereotypes about who wants to write computer code.

>> as a full-time mom at home i was a 3-d artist, also a former elementary school teacher. >> i graduated last year but haven't found a career path. >> reporter: all these women want to be software engineers, a field in which 80% of the work force is male. a lot of high tech companies are now actively recruiting female engineers with the realization that if you are going to market to women it's probably a good idea to have women help design your products. that's why the academy was created. it offers a ten week intensive course to teach women how to write code and develop software. >> i really like that it was all female and it seemed like a really supportive community. i think it can be really scary to learn something new, especially after you have been working for awhile. >> reporter: this group of 40 students is just starting to program. all have college degrees. most have very little experience with computer science. >> do you want to run this? >> reporter: ashley was in half

bright's first class two and a half years ago when the founders were still trying to figure out whether the whole concept would work. >> the boot camp model takes anywhere between eight and 12 weeks and says if you commit all your time and energy for that period, you will be able to sort of catch up with people who have had years of training and experience, and that's a question mark. it's definitely not for everyone but for me it worked out really well. >> reporter: ashley is now a software engineer with the ride sharing company lift. >> this is the thing that has hooked me. >> reporter: kat king is another grad, a mentor for other students. she went from nanny to computer programmer at event bright, an online ticketing service. she says a lot of women don't realize software development is fun. >> it's just really a creative field. it is highly technical but there's a lot of room for play and the language and the creativity of it. >> reporter: it also pays well. >> the graduate who goes into an engineering position can expect

to make anywhere from $75,000 to upwards of $120,000. there's no guarantee of that, but the odds are fairly decent. >> reporter: that kind of potential is why students are willing to pay $15,000 in tuition for just ten weeks. it is not an accredited school so there is no traditional financial aid but there are some scholarships and payment options available. admission is competitive and former students told us it's only worth the money if you're ready to work hard. >> even though the field is really risky i think it's worth it if you are committed to putting the time and effort in. >> well done. >> the academy has partnerships with several major bay area tech companies to help graduates find jobs and so do many other coding boot camps. >> interesting. thanks for joining us for abc 7 news at 4:00. i'm larry beil. >> i'm ama daetz. abc 7 news at 5:00 begins now with cheryl and dan. thank god he was alive. i was preparing myself going down to find the worst. >> this is what he went down, a

steep cliff to rescue a boy who tumbled hundreds of feet. what happened the moment he saw the 4-year-old. also tonight, police shoot a man in menlo park. everybody is asking did the suspect fire his gun. and -- >> what is the truth? >> 49er ray mcdonald talks about the domestic violence arrest, his fiancee and comparisons to ray rice. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist sandhya patel. clouds are here, rain is coming. i will let you know when live doppler 7 hd will be tracking it and how long you will need the umbrellas. it was a pretty rough ride going down. >> a first responder talks about a little boy rescued -- that's the wrong picture. so sorry about that. he talked about rescuing a little boy in a terrifying experience after the little boy fell down a cliff. that boy's mother says she just couldn't grab him in time. thanks for joining us. i'm cheryl jennings. >> just terrifying. i'm dan ashley.

poor little guy is being treated at oakland children's hospital. sebastian johnson was throwing rocks over the edge, being a kid when he tumbled 225 feet down a sheer cliff. you can see just how far it is in this graphic. this happened in bodega bay. that's where alyssa harrington is live tonight. alyssa? >> reporter: we just checked in with the hospital and 4-year-old sebastian johnson is in serious condition. he suffered injuries to his head, wrist and leg. it was right around this time yesterday when he was out here playing and lost his balance. 4-year-old sebastian johnson from santa rosa was hiking on a trail at bodega head near bodega bay with his parents and sister when his dad says he tried to pick up a rock and slipped. the boy fell about 225 feet down this cliff, landing all the way at the bottom near the water. >> i was preparing myself going down to find the worst. >> reporter: firefighter and paramedic marco barros was one of the first responders to rappel down using ropes.

he found sebastian alive. the boy was crying and badly hurt. >> he wasn't really talking. i said if you like spider-man or super heroes, try and think of them and trying to keep him awake and moaning. >> reporter: rescue crews pulled sebastian back up the cliff in a basket, carried the boy to an ambulance where he was transported to the hospital. a coast guard helicopter that also flew in for the rescue was instead grounded. it was unable to fly because of the weather and because part of the landing gear failed. the pilot performed what's called a slope landing, something all coast guard pilots train for. in this case, part of the landing gear started sinking into the soft hillside, preventing a safe takeoff. coast guard teams had to dig out channels to move the aircraft to solid ground. >> we were digging out behind the main landing gear to safely roll it back down the hill on to the path to get on it to more level ground. >> reporter: meanwhile, sebastian was transferred to children's hospital oakland. he suffered broken bones and fractures to his face and skull.
