2:09 am
her for a minute or two. but it was a very, very emotional call. >> reporter: natalie and her mother live in the chicago area and were visiting family in israel when hamas terrorists struck. natalie's uncle said she texted him that the room judith was sleeping in had been bombed. >> and she was very, very happy to go to israel, and she went to the kibbutz to be with her grandmother for three days, and that's when they capture her. >> reporter: little did they know it was the start of what would become a bloody war between israel and hamas. more than 1400 israelis have been killed, mostly in the initial attack when natalie and her mom were taken. as of friday, the hamas run gaza health ministry said more than 4,000 palestinians had been killed as the israeli army began a series of air strikes on gaza. nearly two weeks after the fighting began, an estimated 200 people
2:10 am
are still being held hostage by hamas. some of them are americans. at this shabbat dinner table in southern california tonight, there were 200 plates and 200 empty seats for the faces on these kidnapped flyers. some of their family members were there. >> we've stopped sleeping nights, and my brain is gone. >> reporter: natalie and judith's family say they never lost hope that they'd come home, and that they're praying for the same outcome for other families desperate for good news. >> i'm so glad you're finally coming home. we've missed you so much, and hoped you were alive and safe. we know you're brave and strong and that's how you and your mom made it through this.

2:12 am
the house floor to become speaker. after another day of finger pointing and bad mouthing, the gop could not get behind any one name for a job leading to questions about whether something that may seem impossible in dc could be the only way out. republicans cutting a deal with democrats. we spoke with bay area congressman john garimandi on whether he thought they could work something out across the aisle to elect a speaker. >> i'm very, very pessimistic. the past is prologue. we've seen the chaos in the republican conference. that chaos has only become worse. in conversations today with two of the candidates and conversations with a couple of the other potential republican speakers, they all say the same thing. and it's if we work in any way and signal that we are willing to work in any way with the democrats, we are dead men
2:13 am
walking. >> house republicans are expected to vote to select a new nominee on tuesday. multiple people have reportedly thrown their names into the race. and now to something in the water you definitely don't want to drink. andrea nakano tells us, for people that live there and for businesses, the latest e coli warning is leading to a bad case of deja vu. >> reporter: this is the second boil water order in yontville in the last few months. they found e coli in the entire system. it wasn't a typical work day for natalie. >> on my way into work i got a message from my boss that there was a notice to boil water. >> reporter: that meant steering clear of tap water like many other businesses in town. local restaurants bought out the ice at this market as bottled water flew off the
2:14 am
store shelves. but one thing made natalie's job a little easier. >> we have a huge filter system on the espresso machine, so that helps out. >> reporter: the water comes from the reservoir that's managed by the california department of veteran affairs. a spokesperson said the e coli finding is unusual, and the boil notice is for quote maximum safety. loretta lives we veterans home and got the notice earlier in the day. >> they have this notice up there boil your water. really, why? well, we think we have e coli. >> reporter: this has impacted 838 customers, but also the roughly 1,000 residents that live at the veterans home. at this point, there's very little information on the source of contamination. >> it would be nice to get the facts, you know? and i really would like that. >> i feel like it's something that's happened in the past, and when it happened, it was
2:15 am
concerning then, and it's still concerning now. >> they took more samples today. >> reporter: if those come up negative, the boil water order could be lifted as soon as monday. all right, it's a well known fact that san francisco's restaurant scene has struggled since the pandemic with headline after headline of popular restaurants going dark. this is just a glimpse at some of the places that have closed their doors in recent months. but tonight, there is hope on the horizon. betty yu takes us to a spot downtown that's technically not open yet, but it might take you months to get a table. >> reporter: it's san francisco's biggest opening yet. this is the biggest roof top restaurant and first location here for the global chain that has locations in london and miami. it offers
2:16 am
japanese and peruvian food. it has spectacular views, sushi bar, and lounge. it's been two and a half years in the making. >> it takes entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to take situations like this and be confident and do new things, and that will stimulate the economy. we can't talk about it, we have to do something. and we're employing 150 people. we'll be paying taxes, of course. so this can only be good, surely. >> reporter: the owner and founder is betting big despite narratives about the city's challenges. >> i think timing has been very good for us because while everyone else is quite nervous to come here, it means we're the only ones that have. but growing up and always having san francisco as a special place in my mind as a child, watching movies as a kid, and having heard about it and later on visiting, i always felt this would be perfect for us. >> reporter: the line to get into its grand opening celebration stretched down the
2:17 am
block, and within 30 minutes of opening reservations, 3,000 requests came through. about two miles away, another hotly anticipated asian fusion restaurant and lounge is headed into its first official weekend of business. blue whale on union street. >> this city, for a chef who's a newcomer, myself, i'm not a native but have been here over 30 years, this city means so much to all of us, and he really wants to give back to the community. this is another opportunity to really give back and just kind of show the city that it's worth the investment. >> reporter: the space sat empty for six years. blue whale has a dining room, bar, and outdoor patio. >> i've seen the construction happen for what seems like months now, but really excited to try it, and it's great to have another option in the neighborhood. >> we only hear the negative,
2:18 am
never the positive. there are so many great restaurants in san francisco, and i have yet to find one that i haven't enjoyed thoroughly. >> it officially opens tomorrow. we know that they say what happens in vegas stays in vegas, except for something hotel guests are finding in between their sheets. oh, no. plus, researchers are seeding a massive bed of oysters off the coast, but they're not for eating. how they could help curb climate change. after record setting warmth yesterday, we return closer to normal temperatures across the bay area. details coming up in the first alert forecast. and later, this looks like a construction site, but it's actually a family home in san jose and you'll never believe what it's going to look like on halloween. ahead in sports, the
2:19 am
warriors bid farewell to a legend. andre is oh boy. if you have plans in vegas any time soon, you might want to double check your hotel room isn't already occupied by bed bugs. they've been found at multiple hotels on the strip as of late according to records at the local health department. they've been spotted at caesar's palace and others. all that is over the course of the last two years. experts say to check for them between the
2:20 am
baseboard and mattress, especially, and be sure to keep luggage off beds and carpets. an oyster can do so much more than turn a grain of sand into a pearl, and as elizabeth cook tells us in tonight's project earth, a tiny california shell fish can play a big role in climate change as well. >> reporter: at swan oyster depot in san francisco, the line forms early. if you're lucky to get a seat, you're in for a treat. >> we just had the olymia oysters, which were phenomenal. >> reporter: the olympia oyster, small as a silver dollar, but big in flavor. they're the only oysters native to the west coast. they're not endangered, but their numbers have declined largely due to overharvesting during the gold rush, as well as pollution and
2:21 am
loss of habitat. now scientists, researchers, and volunteers are working to restore them in the wild where they once historically thrived. >> we're here to bring back oysters to elk horn slew. >> reporter: these scientists are leading the effort at the heart of monterey bay. >> we're just doing it with optimism and hoping if we can bring back a million oysters here they'll be self-sustaining , and today is one step towards that goal. >> reporter: the restored oysters won't be harvested. their intended role is filter water, stabilize the shoreline and provide habitat for other creatures. >> it's really important we help to restore this population. >> reporter: first up, the hatchery at moss landing marine laboratories. >> we have baby individual oysters. >> reporter: here olympias breed babies that go back to
2:22 am
the slew. >> in the hatchery we can control the environment and make sure the babies make it through to being juveniles. >> reporter: they require tender loving care, the right temperatures, and plenty of fresh water. >> they're very needy and very dirty, so they are really fun to take care of, but they need a lot of attention. >> reporter: when ready, they'll attach to hard surfaces including these large clam shells. >> we actually collect in the slew. >> reporter: the team carefully gathers the oyster encrusted shells, puts them in special mesh bags, and packs them in a cooler. >> reporter: next up the slew, where the scientists and volunteers are ready to jump into action. >> the slew needs a lot of help. >> i believe natural habitats should be maintained. >> reporter: the work is unusual. >> we're keeping count of how many oysters are alive on the
2:23 am
clam shells. >> reporter: they record the data and secure each clam shell to a pvc pipe. then the volunteers caravan down to the estuary. >> check that the zip ties are actually locked. >> reporter: they carefully pass them down to the scientists who plant them into the muddy goop and low tide waters of hester marsh. >> i ate it already, i couldn't wait. delicious. >> reporter: back at swan's, patrons think the effort is well worth it. >> it's a win-win for everybody. >> what they're trying to establish down in the slew, if it works, it will be incredible. >> reporter: an olympic quest for future generations. >> they take a few years to grow. for more information on the project, go to kpix.com. paul? heading into the weekend, we'll enjoy a typical october weather pattern. even complete
2:24 am
with a chance for a couple of showers here and there. not tonight. mostly clear skies for the moment as we look from sutro tower towards downtown san francisco. always love that view. we're in for changes heading into the weekend. the cool down continues. a decent on shore breeze will help limit the temperatures. temperatures take a drop from today to tomorrow, and it remains cool on sunday with a chance of showers headed our way. the additional cloud cover will take a bite out of the amount of solar energy generated in the area, but there will be a mix of clouds and sunshine tomorrow, and in between the scattered showers on sunday, sunshine will peak through to generate some solar electricity. futurecast shows a couple showers trying to approach the coast tomorrow. maybe a little drizzle on the coast. i think that's an outside chance. it's mainly a mix of clouds and sun with dry conditions for the first half
2:25 am
of the weekend. then we have a better chance of rain in a couple of waves. the first is early sunday morning. that's falling apart trying to make its way further inland. off and on showers possible late morning into early afternoon, but the second wave is more likely by mid-afternoon and work farther inland, and then the showers kind of shutdown through sunday evening and night. how much we talking about? in most locations less than a tenth of an inch, and some spots will be shut out entirely. most likely around san jose and the rain shadow of the santa cruz mountains. if you get a heavier downpour, you might get close to a quarter inch of rain. best odds of that are along the coast and north of the golden gate. right now looking outside, a little bit of high cloud cover in the distance. temperatures are dropping off. it's down to 55 already in santa rosa. mainly a mix of upper 50s and low 60s on the map right now. we'll see 50s across the board to begin the day on saturday. as the clouds start to roll in tonight, that will help to hold a little bit of warmth near
2:26 am
ground level, so the numbers are a couple of degrees above average, but high temperatures tomorrow will be below normal. just a degree or two below normal in the santa clara valley. but only low 70s in the east bay. around 70 in fremont, low 70s down the peninsula in redwood city. 60s for both san francisco and oakland. the east bay only warming to around 70 saturday afternoon. pretty much everybody has copy and paste temperatures from saturday to sunday. the difference is the chance of showers that comes into the forecast for the second half of the weekend. not an all day washout, but just be flexible with outdoor plans in case one of the showers pays you a visit. a little warm up for monday and tuesday. no return to record setting heat, just a noticeable change in temperatures. then everyone settles into a normal late october temperature pattern by wednesday, thursday, and friday. how about that for a change? normal weather. along
2:27 am
the coast, you're not going to experience that warm up monday and tuesday. your highs are going to stay in the low to mid-60s for the foreseeable future throughout the last full week of october. >> all right, paul, thank you. they say you cannot win them all, and that includes taylor swift's boyfriend. how travis kelce fumbled his way into this situation. taylor swift always in the sports news. coming up in the other sports, the astros and rangers had as good of a playoff baseball game you'll see. plus the warriors back in
2:28 am
okay, matt, he may have won taylor swift, who i know is on your list, and two super bowl rings but even travis kelce can't win them all. he walked in wearing this because the cyclones beat hiss his alma mater. >> reporter: did you lose a bet? >> yeah, yeah, unfortunately. >> he and his equally famous brother are always getting into trouble. >> and travis kelce, taylor swift's boyfriend. >> not a mistake. >> she's popping up all over because of travis, but so is someone else we know. the warriors wrapping up preseason action friday night.
2:29 am
but the real story is our vern glenn got the live out a life long dream calling out the starting line up for the dubs. he did not disappoint. >> and now in his 15th nba season, number 30, stephen curry! the warriors head coach is steve kerr! >> he did a good job. and there's a reason this guy was the first pick. completely shuts down wiggins on the defensive end, then knocks down the three. he's unguardable, just unguardable. the warriors ready for the regular season.
2:30 am
golden state opens with phoenix at chase center on tuesday. big news before this game, but not necessarily a surprise. andre iguodala officially retired after 19 seasons in the nba. he was a part of all four of the warriors titles in the last decade and was the finals mvp of their first championship this 2015. played eight seasons over two stints with golden state. incredible game 5 of the alcs. bottom six, garcia spiking his bat after a three-run homer. he gets hit the next time he's up. he goes after catcher martin maldonado. the benches clear. garcia and the pitcher were ejected. here's the best part, dusty baker gets the toss but refuses to leave the dugout. the astros down, but jose altuve coming through and houston wins. baker loved it from the tunnel. astros lead the series 3 games to 22, one win away from their third straight world series appearance.
