militants in yemen. yesterday's predawn raid was the second rescue attempt in as many weeks to free luke somers, a 23-year-old freelance photographer and editor who was kidnapped just over a year ago. abc news reporter michelle franson has the details. >> reporter: american officials acting on intelligence gathered from drones, communications and intercepts and possibly informants, made the decision to launch the rescue mission to save american journalist luke somers as the clock ticked down and al-qaeda-affiliated group in yemen threatened to execute him. he was kidnapped 14 months ago. the rescue was going to be sometime after sun-up on saturday. >> it was a very dangerous and complicated mission. the mission wag launched from a u.s. airbase about 1:00 a.m. local time. around 40 members of the elite seal team 6 landed about six miles away from the hideout to avoid being detected from aircraft noise.
6:14 am
the team made their way on foot within 100 yards of an objective when a u.s. counter terror source tells abc news one of the guards who had gone outside to relieve himself spotted the team. a fierce ten-minute gun battle ensued in which most, if not all of the guards were killed. u.s. officials say one of the attackers was seen racing inside the compound and likely shot both somers and a south african teacher also held hostage. one died from his wounds while being flown out to a u.s. navy ship and the other in the ship's medical facility. somers is from sacramento, california. in a statement al-qaeda forced him to record earlier, somers spoke about his fate. >> i'm certain my life is in danger. >> michelle franson, abc news, new york. >> more u.s. troops than originally planned will be staying in afghanistan. defense secretary chuck hagel made the announcement during a visit there yesterday. he said about 1,000 more troops will stay into early next year to fill a temporary nato gap.

6:16 am
humanbeing >> they exceeded their goal to fill and ship 1,000 packages. big cyber monday sales are lead to go some delivery sales. sign better monday sales were up 8.5% over last year. that's lead to go some delays from shippers. ups telling abc7 news there are small delays, but they have hired 100,000 seasonal workers this year and they are not predicting the big problems we saw last year just before christmas. >> the end of the year is fast approaching. that means many people will be donate to go their favorite charity. but where is your money really going? consumer reports has partnered exclusively with "7 on your side" to reveal some tips to know before you give. michael finney has the details. >> good morning. 40% of charitable contributions are made in the last few weeks of the year. how can you determine if a charity is worthy of your hard-earned dollars? consumer reports has some important advice. >> these days your mailbox is probably stuffed with solicitations from charities. but be aware. consumer reports has found some charities spend very little on the causes they promote. >> for instance, in it's latest irs filing, the cancer's survivor fund in texas reported they spent just eight cents of every dollar on their programs.
6:17 am
89 cents went to fundraising. >> another increasingly common way to give, buying from companies that donate part of the sales to charity, but the company gets a tax deduction, not you. and another caution. >> you really have to be careful with impulse giving. it can be hard to determine how much money from the sales will actually go to the charity. >> in this line of charity ornaments at macy's, nearly all do not specify which charity will benefit or how much of the money will be donated. only one, the pink santa, says where the money goes and how much. consumer reports says to do some homework before donating. two reliable watchdog websites that are free, charity navigator.org and the better business bureau's give.org. it lets you know how much money the charities give to the services and programs that they support, and how much goes for administrative costs and fundraisers. >> some of your favorite charities may not be rated because they are too small or too local.
6:18 am
that doesn't mean you shouldn't give to them, you just should do more research. >> first check out their website to see missions and accomplishments and consider volunteering first. it's a great way to ask questions and get to know the charity from the inside. another way to go, give to a nonprofit fundraising federation such as united way. it checks out the charities it represents before allowing them to participate. i'm michael finney, "7 on your side." expect to see some extra security if you are going to this afternoon's 49ers-raiders game. the raiders say there will be more uniformed and undercover police and security officers patrolling parking lots and o.co coliseum. the game previously was cancelled after two shootings and fights broke out during the 2011 game. today's match-up is the first regular season game between the niners and raiders since 2010. san francisco last played in oakland twelve years ago.
6:19 am
in fact, check out how young niners quarterback colin kaepernick was during his last visit to the coliseum? 49ers.com posted this picture showing, oh, he's just a baby there. he's a preteen cap as a contestant in the nfl punt, kick and pass contest during halftime at the raiders game. he won several of those events. >> look hoying he is there. >> yeah. we are looking at a pretty decent day today. there's a cold front offshore and some of you may get wet later on today but not everyone. it's a weak system but we have another, more impressive, system to talk about. the sun comes up at 7:12 and sets at 4:51. we are looking at a dense fog advisory toward the delta this morning. visibility is really a problem out here. and in patches it is definitely on securing some of the neighborhoods around the bay. here's a look from the
6:20 am
exploratorium camera. you see clouds around, and 45 minute delays at sfo right now. at the airport it's 57. 52 south bay. morgan hill 51. 54 half moon bay and emeryville this morning. it's a little foggy in spots and temperatures are cool across the bay there in santa rosa 46 degrees. 53 by the delta and the dense fog. concord and livermore upper 50s to lower 50s. not as bad as it could be but santa rosa with just a quarter mile visibility you have to use the low beams and slow down. 5 miles at the san carlos airport and three miles around hayward. the fog into lift and then we will look for a pretty decent afternoon. here's sfo right now. dry throughout the day today. scattered showers approaching the main-sonoma coast tonight. they will hold together and
6:21 am
bring perhaps wet pavement for your monday morning commute. there could be a few showers lips along the coast. a pretty weak system here. we will have a break on tuesday but which wednesday night there's a very, very strong cold front with wind. it will have a bullseye right on the bay area. we will show you the projections in a mommy. just the tail end of it will push through the north bay. it will wash out. but we could see an isolated shower in the pen ness law but as the rest of the day progresses we will see more sun south of the golden gate. by midnight there is a little activity that could be pushing through cloverdale, santa rosa, and through marin. it looks like petaluma may be a few showers and even by the afternoon you will notice that we have some more returns on the coast here. so it's been kind of a rough commute the past week in the north bay. that's certainly not going to help. but not a big deal really. we will look for most areas even
6:22 am
north of the golden gate to be rain free. as we take you lou the week, here come the bullseye. the railroad heavy rain, the gusty winds. we are talking perhaps three to four inches around the bay. this system will be a problem because the ground is already saturated and with winds upwards of 50 miles an hour, probably see some problems here with some flooding and downed trees. 69 in san jose. another mild to muggy day. 67 redwood city. in the city mostly cloudy. 65. up in the north bay 64 petaluma. mid-60s for napa. castro valley enjoying 67 today, as well as fremont and the san ramon valley checking in in the upper 60s. the accuweather seven-day forecast, the weak front allowing some showers perhaps in the north bay late tonight into tomorrow. overall partly to mostly cloudy and then we will look for the mildest day on tuesday out ahead of that system. then the gusty winds, the heavy rain lasting through friday. you can see what is showing up
