the military is expected to say women, you can train as navy s.e.a.l.s, army rangers and other front line jobs. the plan says women could start training as army rangers by mid 2015 and as navy s.e.a.l.s a year later. to qualify for either position women will reportedly be expected to pass the very same physical test and meet the exact same requirements as men. this means, for instance, to become a navy s.e.a.l., the website says candidates have to be able to swim 500 yards, do a certain number of push-ups, sit-ups and pullups and run 1 1/2 miles in a short amount of time. the same will hold true for women. the supporters include aclu which sued the government over the exclusion of women in combat roles. we spoke to the attorney in that case who said it's about time since the women are dieing for our country. >> women have been serving in combat roles in iraq and afghanistan and serving

alongside men even in units. >> in all, 150 women have been killed in combat in the iraq and afghanistan wars. still opponents say it's better to keep the direct combat units all male. >> there is not one test, study, report or military experience that shows that women are the physical equals of men. >> women comprise about 14% of all active military members and already serve as combat pilots in three branches of our military. secretary of defense chuck hagel is expected to lay out the details at 11:30 this morning. it's a story we'll keep our eye on. >> a lot of people continue to talk about it. >> based on the training regimen i've seen marla work on, she could probably be a navy s.e.a.l. >> me? not so much. >> i've done a through triathlons, the jacuzzi, hot tub and stretching. christina loren is here to tell us it will be a good day to get out and do a lot of things.

else for him to do. looking towards the bay bridge, no problems into or out of san francisco across this span. it is traffic tuesday. we're watching for a burst. so far it's too early for that. meanwhile looking at an early slowdown which we typically see in this area. west highway 4 is completely jammed upcoming out of antioch and slowing off of that antioch bridge. there's a crash going on here westbound highway 4 right around loveridge. a sig alert called by chp. that means they thought it would take a half hour to clear. they have just canceled the sig alert. the backup is still there. we have the alternate for you, the pittsburgh antioch highway north of the freeway. you have to go through some of that slowdown. but once you can head north, you can use that as one of your alternate routes. westbound interstate 580 toward the dublin interchange has a stall reported that should out of the lanes in the next few.

i'll show you an issue for the south bay coming up. 5:08 right now. palo alto holding a pair of public meetings this week to talk about how to improve downtown parking. the city presenting potential parking plans tonight and tomorrow. those meetings will cover parking restrictions and permit parking programs for people who live in that area. both meetings will start at 7:00 at palo alto city hall. los gatos makes a late night decision on its gun policy. the new rule set to go into effect next. plus the fight over what you can wear. the aclu jumping into the fray as a bay area county gets ready to add a dress code to its county fair. an east bay woman may soon be the most powerful woman in the world. we'll take a look at business and tech. ♪ ♪ i gotta go deposit a check, transfer some money.

another tech company revealing how many times law enforcement has asked for your data. once again, scott mcgrew, these

numbers very fuzzy. >> they are. yahoo! tells us the latest about law enforcement requests. as you point out, these numbers we're hearing from yahoo! that the company got about 13,000 requests over the last six months don't give us any new information about the nsa program that's upset so many internet users. that 13,000 contains everything from cyber bullying investigations to copy write violations. it would be trying to figure out a sit te's crime rate if a city told you 13,000 crimes were committed but didn't tell you which were parking tickets and which were muggings. it's not the data you wanted to know as you walk down a lonely dark street. as we talked about monday, google thinks that's the wrong way to do it. google has been pushing for permission to separate out nsa and fisa requests. twitter says it won't give

anyone numbers until it's allowed to give people the numbers that tell us something about the prism program. kyla toesh she is live at cnbc headquarters. >> good morning, scott. futures in the market are higher after stocks rose monday. this is even as investors continue playing the guessing game over what exactly the federal reserve will do in its meeting this week. an article in the "financial times" on monday suggests the fed may pull back on its stimulus program soon. that doesn't mean an interest rate hike will follow. this morning we get data on consumer prices and housing starts. the dow rising 110 points to 15,180, the nasdaq adding 28 to 3,452. >> kaila, thank you. speaking of the fed, we've been talking about president obama's interview with charlie rose. one of the topics that came out was the head of the fed ben bernanke. the president hinted mr. bernanke will be stepping down soon. we are guessing the next chairman of the fed will be janet yellen, currently second

in command. she's a former cal berkeley professor, still has a home in the east bay as well where xi lives with her husband, also a professor at cal. were yellen to become fed chairman, not only would she be the first woman to do so, arguably the most powerful woman in the world. angela merkel would have the argument about that. >> that's an argument i'd like to see. >> yes, ms. merkel the chancellor of germany doing a good job. 5:14 right now. the most powerful woman in the weather -- >> you better watch it here. you're sitting between two of us. >> saying in the weather. i have the most powerful women every day. i'm blessed. >> we'll get blessed with gorgeous weather. i'll hand it over to laura any day. let me put that on the table. 57 to start right now. a beautiful start in novato, 55

degrees in concord. we do have pretty significant wind speeds out there. west 1459 miles per hour. they'll start to shift as we head through the day. so winds becoming a little more variable as this area of low pressure starts to dig into the bay area. weak distausche ans is going to come through as it does so for us. that means we'll see a reinforcing shot of cool air today. temperatures aren't going to be able to blim all that much as we head through the day today, tomorrow, even thursday, not until friday do we start to warm you up as this big ridge of high pressure moves in. we have got some really gorgeous weather that's going to last. we hit that stride and that weather will continue all the way through this weekend and into most of next week as well. 70 degrees in fremont, 70 in san jose. the first official day of summer is friday, only hitting 85 on friday. 78 bay side and 6 at the coast. as we head through this weekend, temperatures will warm up, but not by much. 87 degrees saturday and 83 on

sunday. let's find out if we have any improvement out there. you were dealing with a couple issues earlier. >> yeah. we did have the crash we talked about. chp saw fit to call a sig alert. they thought it would take up to an hour to clear the crash. the good news is the crash cleared. involves a motorcycle. no major injuries reported. highway 4 has been hit hard as far as the commute direction. very slow coming off the antioch bridge, 160 towards pittsburg and bay point. the crash has cleared, right around loveridge and railroad. red means speeds below 28. around ten miles per hour at times. the pittsburg antioch highway to the north is one of your options. you can jump onality railroad. also leland avenue. we'll look to the south of here. fremont, a live look southbound here. we have a nice new flow with the headlights, past the truck scales at tesla.

until you get south through fremont, past mission boulevard, things moving nicely here. 880 bogs down, right around 237, early morning construction between 237 and brokaw. that's likely what's still going on. crews headed down to one lane. i have not heard the full clear from them yet. that's probably what's happening as it did a few days ago, the portion of the last week. these crashes on 880 are on the shoulder and on the northbound side. we're sorting all the activity that's kicked in between milpitas and san jose. over all the south bay is very nice and 680 will keep you completely clear of all that slowing. in palo alto, an easy drive northbound past willow and heading into san mateo. san mateo county and santa clara county all looking clear except for that one section of 880. thank you very much, mike. dress code for the county fair will be up for debate at the marin county board of supp vice source meeting. the county proposed a dress code

for the fair which would ban things like gang-relate tad tootion, gang signs and some colors of clothing. the under sheriff says the fwoel is to prevent gang activity at a family friendly event. a lengthy battle over guns appears to be over in one south bay town. last night the los gatos town council approving a proposal making it harder to sell guns or ammunition in city limits. the ordinance requires the city hold public meetings on any proposed gun dealer before permits can be issued. the dealers will also have to submit to police and city investigations. >> the major highlight is that it's an ordinance developed by this town for this town. and i think that's probably the most important part of it. the second most important part is that it gives the town and

its residents notice when there is a gun store that's going to come in and ask for a permit. >> that new proposal comes after public outrage over templar sports, the store which sells ammo and firearms which opened back in december. templar's owner says he followed all the current permitting procedures and at this time it's unclear if the ordinance will affect templar sports. and oakland woman pleading with burglars who hit up her apartment asking them to return a loved one. prado says they took not just her tv and computer, but also the urn that held the ashes of her late boyfriend. he died in march. prado says she was planning on spreading his ashes. prado says the theft happened sometime yesterday morning. looks like the burglars broke in by busting through a window. now an exclusive investigative unit report. your doctor's name, your past illnesses, eastern the kind of medicine you take. this kind of information is being sold in a multimillion

airport single tout millbrae b.a.r.t. station here. in about the past 18 months there have been 120 reports of bird strikes at sfo, that's birds running into plaefrns. 12 of those caused damage to the planes. the airport pinpointed a problem of people feeding birds at the millbrae b.a.r.t. station. the feeding attracts the birds which can cause the bird strikes. sfo officials hope that by banning feeding they'll have fewer strikes to aircrafts. in order for b.a.r.t. police to regulate this problem, the city needs to approve the feeding ban. of course, one of the more famous 3wird strikes came about a year and a half ago when captain sullenberger had to land his jet in the hudson river. this is a ban on feeding birds not owned by the person. we're live in millbrae, arturo santiago, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much for the

pressure gradient. the winds will pick up today even stronger than yesterday. yesterday it was really nice, nice comfortable breeze inland. today, it will be rather breezy to windy by the end of the day. 30 to 40-mile-per-hour wind gusts becoming more frequent. we're expecting the strongest wind speeds through the higher elevations, the oakland hills, santa cruz mountains, take it easy through there. by noon at 75 degrees, to round out the day, per fact by mid june standards, 68 bay side at the coast today 59 degrees and then we start to rise in temperature. i'll take you through the changes and let you know what you can expect for the weekend. you got to work for the weekend. that's what we're doing around here every day. what are you track? >> traffic tuesday. right now we have a fallen tree tuesday. this is over in oakland. it's a major roadway. this is san leandro street. that goes parallel toward 880. it's on the other side of the coliseum. this is a major north-south connector or actually alternate

"today in the bay's" tracie potts joins us live on capitol hill with how the syrian conflict is affecting discussions among world leaders today. >> good morning, laura. seven of these world leaders tend to agree on how to deal with syria. the one that does not is russia. they've been backing the syrian government and the president sat down with russian president vladimir putin to talk about that. interestingly the meeting was not as sense as originally thought. they did find areas of agreement in terms of stopping the violence and also humanitarian aid, as you just talked about, securing chemical weapons that may or may not be used there and getting all sides to the negotiating table. but behind the scenes we're told president obama insisted president assad not be at the negotiating table. other members of his regime,

yes, but not president assad himself. russia seemed to at least not publicly object to that. so there are some areas of agreement. today we're waiting to see if a statement will come out with some sort of consensus from the g8 on how to deal with the syrian situation going forward. as for that humanitarian aid that you mentioned, laura, $300 million, most of it going to syria. but a bulk of it also going to those neighboring countries where they've seen the spillover effect, almost half a million refugees in jordan, iraq, turkey and egypt, they'll be getting money from the u.s. to feed, clothe and medicate those refugees from the civil war. >> a lot of rescue efforts going out. thank you, tracie. in a matter of hours, the pentagon expected to announce women will be el jabl for combat roles. some thing roles should be filled exclusive bibi men.

out at the yard. 5:46 now. thanks for waking up with us each and every morning, especially if you don't have to work. maybe you're one of the many teachers -- and we thank you for your service. a lot of kids and teachers out of school at this point. summertime officially arrives this friday, the longest day of the year. what a beautiful start to the day. you can see the golden gate bridge here off in the distance. let's take you live to that bridge now just to show visibility here is still looking good. so far, so good on a tuesday. traffic is looking pretty light. we'll get the details from mike who is tracking something significant right now you will want to know about, 55 degrees in san francisco. 55 degrees to start the day in gilroy. so here is what's happening. an interesting setup. area of low pressure, very sprawling area. starting the bring showers in the pacific northwest. that's going to drive cooler temps our way. as we head throughout the day, it's going to drag a weak cold front through the area.

you can see the weak disturbance at noon. that's going to reinforce the cool air already in place. highs today down right comfortable. in fact, staying unseasonably cool until thursday and friday when high pressure starts to take over and warm us up. today's highs work like this, at about 74 degrees in wed wood city, 70 degrees in san jose and getting into the end of the week, finally seeing the mid 80s. we'll drop back off to the low 80s sunday into monday. here is mike. >> looking over towards san jose northbound. as you can imagine, just before 6:00, the first burst of traffic, a traffic tuesday. this is looking pretty smooth. that's good stuff. summertime shift, traffic a little different the last few days. we'll look at the map. we see a smooth flow for most of the south bay. there's 101 north of 680. speeds down to the upper 50s where it's turned into orange. right there that's the concern. 880 northbound as you're fasting by brokaw you'll find a lot of

slowing. i talked to officer simmons at chp. he said there was an earlier crash which we told you about. he said the car went over on its side so crews are still there trying to right that car and get it off the roadway. no major injuries, but it is there and they have to close that one lane for the off-ramp temporarily. again brokaw off-ramp is closed. go farther north, take month queue or move back around and take the opposite direction. that will cause slowing and distraction, of course. >> we have a smooth drive along the peninsula, 101 as well as 280. let's look at the san mateo bridge, easy flow on the peninsula side. on the east bay side, the san mateo bridge, a nice smooth flow. nice clear skies. typical pattern as we continue through the morning. back to you. new this morning, protests in brazil getting ugly with more than 100,000 people taking to the streets in at least eight different cities. this all started last week after an increase in bus and subway

investor buy that just one or maybe a few shares, if that. google settled a lawsuit preventing a split. under the split each share becomes two shares worth half the price. as a share orlando you're neither richer or poorer, but more people can afford to buy a share. that is good for everyone. the home improvement chain lowe's made a bit for orchard supply hardware. orchard agreed to the buyout. but under the terms can find a new partner if the bid is high enough. the stores will continue to operate for now. we're talking monday about how tesla would have an announcement later this week. new information this morning. we now know the company will demonstrate battery swapping. this is where a tesla car is refueled not by recharging, but by changing out the battery packs. this would enable somebody, jon and laura, to stop at a refueling station, be in and out

as quickly as someone filling up with gas as opposed to waiting like half an hour waiting for a charge. they drop the battery out, put in a new one like a flashlight. >> smooth and easy. 5:56. speaking of smooth and what should be easy, christina loren says another pretty day. >> it's going to be so nice. good morning, jon and laura. good horng to yu at home. right now in the city of san francisco, the wind and the fog are competing and the wind is winning. the low dense clouds not settling to the surface just yet. we've got a weak disturbance headed our way. that will keep the temperatures into the upper 50s. that's it in san francisco. 70 in san jose and 73 in fremont. we'll tell you about the changes coming your way next. >> we'll show you interstate 80. laura showed you this a couple minutes ago. it does look like 880. i zoomed it in, this is at university avenue and we see this traffic flowing nicely.
