avalanches at least in eight years. good morning to you there, peggy. the worst toll in a single day happening at what is supposed to be the start of that mountain's climbing season. rescuers have recovered 11 of 13 bodies, all of them sherpas, local guides that help hikers up the world's highest peak. this avalanche struck early friday morning at a relatively low elevation between base camp and camp one. they were bringing supplies up to camp one and camp two, which are stops for climbers on the way up to the summit. the avalanche buried the men in ice and snow killing 13 of them, hurting 4 more. two of them critically. this morning two producers with "discovery" channel who happened to be at everest spoke on "today" show. >> it is the very beginning of the season and to lose this number of people at the very beginning of the season may be the end of the season here. >> hundreds of climbers and

there are guides at the base camp ready to finish their final summit to the top of the mountain. again, a 29,000-foot mountain, tallest peak in the world. they were there when the avalanche hit and when it did, many of them rushed up the mountain to try to help these people and they also deployed a helicopt helicopter. 11 bodies of the 13 so far discovered. scott? >> all right, thank you, bob. the man accused of killing a san jose couple in 2012 could enter a plea today. he is accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend and her husband at their home in downtown san jose 2012. police say a witness was inside the couple's home, saw him shoot them. the witness has not been identified. the man was extradited from mexico last week and charged the very next day. a pleasanton teenager who was speeding when he hit and killed a bicyclist has reached a plea deal. cody hall pled no contest and will be sentenced to nine years in prison next month. the now 19-year-old was driving

affect 2.6 million cards or about 7% of its payments by cards. aaron brothers is saying this could involve about 400,000 cards used at their stores. and the announcement came after the company worked with two new security firms that discovered sophisticated malware that apparently it wasn't encountered by earlier firms looking into it. on its website michaels has a lot of information about the breach. a list of stores that are affected and michaels are saying it is working with banks and law enforcement so the malware is no longer a threat to its customers. now, the dates for this san jose store on coleman avenue that we're talking about this michaels from may 8th, 2013, to october 6, 2013, december 12th through january 19th of this year. michaels said this basically affects cards and expiration dates, but does not include your personal information. they are offering free credit

monitoring and fraud assistance for those who might need it. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you. the secret service says it's close to understanding how hackers access personal information of target customers, but it could take years to find the criminals behind that hack. federal investigators say even if they do find out who is behind the hack, it's likely they're overseas and going to make prosecution difficult. target has its own investigation into the breach. it thinks thieves gained entry through a computer owned by one of its vendors. in fact, it was in the air conditioning of all things. about 70 million people were victimized in last december's hack. the tri-valley will get less water this year because of harsh cutbacks. it will only allocate 75% of regular supplies to the tri-valley. that means pleasanton, livermore and parts of san ramon will get less tap water.

in order to achieve the required cut backs, they will cut outdoor water use by as much as 60%. so, that is pretty extreme. >> that is extreme. probably no water really ahead in our forecast. >> maybe next week. >> little chance next week, but, of course, we'll let you off the hook, scott mcgrew, you just joined us. thanks for coming back on a friday. we appreciate you any day of the week. hey, thanks for waking up with us this morning. it's nice and comfortable out there. we're in the 50s. 53 in concord and 53 in san jose and 53 to start the day in san francisco. we want to take you through your changes for the day. as we head out there sunrise this morning at 6:30 straight up. going to be pretty, as well. get the oranges and the reds and little hazy out there. we're still in the good to moderate air quality range for today. nice, sunny afternoon. temperatures will warm into the 70s and repeat performance as yesterday. kind of leveling off and then that fog returns for the evening and that will bring about a cooler day for tomorrow's sun

new numbers this morning on exactly how many people signed up for health insurance under the affordable care act. "today in the bay" tracie potts is in washington, d.c. tracie, the president needed a certain number of people for this all to math madically work and it looked like the white house got more than nay needed. >> the white house feels like they hit the jackpot here.

the goal was 7 million after counting all the people who applied late because, remember, they had that glitch, that computer snafu on the last day and gave people an extra two weeks if they tried to sign up. now they counted up all of those and they hit 8 million over the original goal before all the fall website problems and before this last-minute glitch. the white house is really doing a victory dance here. they also think that 35% or they're saying that 35% of those who signed up were under the age of 35. remember, the healthy, young people who are to balance out the costs for everyone else. republican critics say, hold on a minute, those numbers don't tell the whole story. first of all, when you weed the children out of that under 35 group, it's only 28%, which was below projections. also concerned about whether the insurance plans actually cover what people need, whether a lot of these people already had insurance and whether premiums for all of us may go up in the fall. they are hitting the brakes what

democrats are claiming as a victory here. of course, it is likely to be decided in the polls in the fall because in november this is certain to be an election issue. 8 million people signed up, just over a third of them were healthy, young adults and children. >> once again, once again in washington it's both a victory and a defeat, depending on which side you're listening to. tracie potts, thank you. prosecutors have asked a court for an arrest warrant for the captain of the south korean ferry that sank earlier this week. investigatorsologist announ als that a third officer was at the helm of the ferry when it began to go under and not the captain. cranes arrived to try to right that ship. so far rough currents and bad visibility prevented searchers from getting into the submerged ship. overnight they began to pump air into the vessel just in case there are any survivors onboard that boat. officials have confirmed 29 deaths so far, but they expect that number to rise dramatically. more than 270 people are still missing and many of them high school students on a field trip.

right now a robotic submarine, once again, scanning the floor of the indian ocean for any sign of that missing jet. this is the fifth attempt by bluefin-21. this is the deepest attempt, as well. the sub creates sonar maps of the bottom of the ocean. it has found nothing before and it has found nothing so far today. the sub is searching an area of water about 15,000 feet deep where pings believed to be from the plane's black boxes were last heard. meantime, dozens of planes and ships will continue to scour the ocean surface. well, you probably remember this video after a burglary suspect was caught on a baby monitor standing over a sleeping toddler in his crib in texas. that man is now in jail. authorities say the tips from the public help to catch 18-year-old christopher gomez of houston. investigators say that gomez is also a suspect in two other home burglaries. in that disturbing video, you see gomez standing over that sleeping toddler in the nursery

kind of looking around the room there with the flashlight. this happened earlier this month. the boy's parents were sleeping just a few rooms away. people gathering in san francisco right now to mark the anniversary of the great earthquake of 1906. right now crews are painting a fire hydrant gold, just like they do every year. that hydrant was the key to stopping the spread of flames after the 7.8 magnitude quake. around 3,000 people died. we don't know the exact number, even today. but more than 80% of the city was destroyed in the aftermath. earlier this morning, people attended a commemoration ceremony at the fountain otmarket street. it served as a meeting point for people displaced by the quake. in about 15 minutes, the group will head over to lefty oduools for the celebration breakfast. earlier thousands of christian pilgrims filled the alleyways of the old city of jerusalem. they carried wooden crosses as

they made their way to a church. tradition says the church was built on the site where jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. both easter and passover fall during the same week. so, a holiday week to add to a lot of folks. >> indeed, it is. let's find out if my easter bonnet will get wet. >> that's something i have to say. the bigger the better on you. >> you know what, your easter bonnet is very purposeful this year because it will block the sun. a lot of sun coming in. 5:46. the lilt ones. oh y love seeing all the little ones all dressed up in their sunday best. it's pretty comfortable out there but you do want to have that easter egg hunt early if you possibly can, especially through your inland valleys. pretty warm out there. we could hit the mid-80s. so, keep that in mind, overall, though, temperatures this morning and there today repeat performance for yesterday. nice, clear day shaping up. not a lot of low clouds to show you this morning and the reason

why is because the wind is strong enough to mix up our atmosphere and not really prevent that fog and those low clouds from settling in that dense air to the surface. this is what we are working with as we head throughout the day today, comfortable conditions across the bay area. as you know, it's going it be pretty nice around here, but a little bit on the warm side and those microclimates will definitely impact your day. heading out friday, sunrise at 6:30 this morning, a few clouds to start, but a full, sunny day today. temps warm up into the 70s and then fog will return for this evening. a weak disturbance that will pass through the bay area and increase onshore flow and be rather cool for tomorrow and then on sunday those temperatures jump right up. so, mid-70s across the board for your inland valley today, little cool at the coast, 63 degrees and lots of sunshine coming your way as we get into sunday. want to show you the difference, though. 72 in the south bay on saturday versus 80 degrees. big warm up coming your way on easter sunday. and then those temperatures change yet again. we're going to drop those

numbers like a rock as we head through next week. so, here's the get away forecast, i promise you, temperatures are going to be comfortable all across the board. you don't really have any travel concerns when it comes to weather, except you want to account for patchy, black ice up in the sierra nevada, if you're headed up there for the weekend especially around sunrise and watch for wind over the grapevine, as well. headed south into southern california. overall, though, tuesday, break out that umbrella. the rain returns. check your drive and say hi to mike. >> looking over here towards dublin where this is probably the slowest drive of the bay. as far as the distance and the speeds are going, we're looking at westbound 580 for a good distance looking at speeds coming down into the upper 50s. look at the map. this is right here, so getting closer towards the dublin interchange and the slowing drive starts way back here. again, 55, 5 at the very worst where the congestion is heaviest. 84 shows a gradual build. this is typical pattern for a saturday. little lighter and later for

that build. over here a recovery going on. northbound 880 a slot of slowing and all the way up towards broadway because we had big rigs blocking two lanes and they cleared about 15 minutes ago and traffic is recovering through the area. no more problems at the bay bridge toll plaza and a stall reported and a crash actually more than a stall, it is crash across that bay bridge. we'll show you that curve as you make it towards treasure island and i watched this for a while. i don't see any unusual slowing. you're okay. be careful and may see the activity in the slow lanes and back to the map and showing you the rest of the bay moves very smoothly. the south bay we're following this crash south 85 at almaden expressway. major damage to one of the cars involved but no injuries reported and no slowing shows up. we'll send it back to you. an east bay math teacher has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a student. 27-year-old leon chang surrendered to police yesterday, two months after detectives say they were tipped off that he may have been involved with a san
