into people need to be replaced. the national highway transportation safety administration calling for a nationwide recall. takata so far unwilling to go along. >> that's one of the reasons why we are talking to all of you. i believe that everyone needs to understand that takata needs to act. >> it was in hot, humid areas only. making the explosions more powerful and fragmenting the canisters. but after an august incident in north carolina, they want them to replace all affected driver side air bags in the country. takata says it is, quote, committed to addressing all safety issues promptly, but claims their tests outside the humid areas have not shown problem. they are concerned that a national recall could divert replacement air bags from where they are needed. this morning they aren't even sure how many cars might be affected. but it's targeting 5 car makers,

ford, honda, chrysler, mazda and bmw. mostly 2008 and earlier. it's just days before a congressional hearing and after word that prosecutors are trying to determine if any laws have been broken. the government taking a tough stand. >> if we find we did not get timely information from takata, the department of transportation will take swift action. >> reporter: but this morning the officials aren't sure that the replacement bags will work properly, or if there are enough for the millions of cars what some are calling grenades. if takata doesn't change its mind, regulators will demand that the recall of all driver's side air bags be implemented. move now to the battle over immigration. president obama poised to have an executive order any day now to provide protection for

millions of immigrants. and many are calling it a power grab that will poison the well between the president and congress. good morning, jon. >> reporter: i'm told the president could issue the executive order as early as tomorrow. this would be a far-reaching action that could grant legal status to up to 5 million people in the united states now ille l illegally. the biggest group to be affected would be undocumented immigrants who have children who are american citizens or who otherwise have legal status. >> the president has suggested in the past he doesn't have the kind of power to do this on his own. >> reporter: immigrant groups havemented him to do it for years. but he has repeatedly said he doesn't have the power to do it. >> i'm the president of the united states. i'm not the emperor of the united states. my job is to execute laws that are passed. >> reporter: does the president stand by what he said last year,

police presence autds to the tension. >> we have national guards, we have homeland security, we have police departments from all over. that's not preparing for peace. >> reporter: the governor is calling up troops who were here in august after michael brown was killed when demonstrators fought with police and thieves used the protest as an excuse to steal. it could be decided by grand jurors meeting in private. they need nine out of 12 to indict. the family says it's unfair. are you expecting an indictment? >> historically, based on what you say, when you have the local prosecutor sitting in judgment of the local police. they don't indict. it's a system that gives all the favor to the police officers and does nothing for the citizens. >> reporter: the prosecutor here, sensitive to that perception, is promising to open up the evidence for all to see

if officer darren wilson is not charged. we're hearing from police here, telling us they are people too and are worried for their safety and asking the prosecutor for a warning when the decision comes down. brown's family and his supporters are asking for the same. george. >> it could come any day. talk to dan abrams. and steve talked about the transparency of the grand jury. it's unusual. >> this is different than typical grand juries. typically a d.a. walks in and says here's a detective or two, here's the charge we would like you to move forward with. in this case, a whole lot of witnesses, and presenting evidence before the reports are done. so the authorities haven't prepared the reports. they're presenting it to the grand jury. they have called in defense witnesses. but inherently grand jury processes are different than a regular trial. you got the sense that's typically no defense attorney,

there's no cross-examination of witnesses. as you heard there, it's only 9 out of 12. the whole process is much more casual. meaning they can sit there and and questions of the prosecutor. prosecutor responds. it's more like a classroom and less like a courtroom. but there is no question that this process has been a little bit different because it is so sensitive and the d.a. is trying to present a case that if there is no indictment, they can show the community, they can show the country, what was presented and say, look, it was them, not us. and ultimately it will hinge on the facts, a struggle over the gun, rushing towards the officer or running away. >> absolutely. the burden is still to demonstrate there is proximate cause. but much lower burden than proof beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case. >> thanks. and you to amy. good morning, everyone. we begin with new violence erupting overnight after the

grisly terrorist attack in the synagogue in jerusalem. a fifth victim has died. we learn more about the three american victims. terry moran is there. >> reporter: good morning. everyone, jew, muslim, christian, reeling from the atrocity that happened here. there is increased security and increased fear about what may happen next. this morning we arrived at this synagogue, a scene of horror yesterday, and found it once again bustling with prayer and study. he comes here every day and knew four of the victims. >> this is my life. i have to continue coming. >> reporter: now there is dread of more terror. violence has been escalating in jerusalem in recent weeks in a bitter dispute over the holy places. and overnight, new clashes. some have celebrated the attack. three of the dead were american-born. so the shock and grief stretched

around the world. in brookeline, massachusetts, they remembered them. >> how can this happen? how come nobody cares? >> reporter: one faint side of hope, leaders of all faiths prayed for peace today. almost no one expects those prayers to be answered any time soon. >> thank you so much. and back at home, by a margin of one vote, the senate failed to authorize the keystone oil pipeline project. the pipeline from canada to the gulf of mexico touched off a fierce debate over jobs and the environment. republicans are waiting to take control of the senate in jan to approve the project and it's up to president obama whether to veto it. one other big vote on capitol hill. the senate rejected a bill to restrict the ns a's bulk collection of phone records. it had been strongly supported by the president. nearly 40 people had to be

arsenic than white rice. it gets concentrated in the outer part of the rice. they're not saying not to eat brown rice. there are other benefits. >> what's with the arsenic in rice? >> it's in the soil, the water, the air. and rice, the way it gross, sucks the arsenic out of the soil and concentrates it. we worry about long-term exposure to arsenic causing problems with skin cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer. we to want reduce that. >> what are the guidelines, then? >> everyone's waiting on the food and drug administration to set a limit. they're working on it. but until they do, eat a varied diet so you're not getting all your nutrition from rice. that will take care of a lot of it. cook it like pasta with extra water and discard the water. with that goes about half of the arsenic. for kids, i say start with rice cereal, don't need to do that. go with purr rayed vegetables.

>> that's a big change. >> that is a big change. the american academy of pediatrics came out with that a year ago. it's a good way to go. >> the u.s. rice federation has not responded. but they responded last year to the fda. the u.s. rice industry believes that the u.s. rice is a safe food, but we are always looking to minimize potential health risks and continue to working with regulators and the scientific community. now to michael in the social square. here's a look at the "gma morning menu" in the social square powered by samsung galaxy. in "pop news," chris hemsworth named people oes sexiest man alive. who else made the list? a lot of surprises. and a surprising new trend in adoption. one family's journey to have a snowflake baby. and jennifer aniston and jason bateman on their friendship and how they crack each other up.

biology cal children of their own, they adopted 4-month-old sammy, but not in the way you might think. they adopted sammy as an embryo. >> i first discovered embryo adoption. it was like christmas morning. something clicked, i had no idea this existed. >> reporter: how exactly does that work? after a couple has gone through ivf, they're normally left with several healthy, viable fertilized eggs and a dilemma about what to do with them. most of them are destroyed or donated to science. but some couples put these frozen embryos, affectionately called snowflakes, up for adoption. sammy was actually conceived in 2006 and was on ice in a storage facility for seven years before being adopted. >> just knowing she was frozen for so long as a little ball of cells and then awakened, that process just blows my mind.
