in this video the head of the group said, "i abducted your girls." the leader says he will sell those girls and he threatened to attack more schools and abduct more schools. a threat he followed through on with the kidnapping of those eight girls this morning. a militant group. it is against education for girls. in fact, the group's name actually means western education. police say 53 of the girls have escaped since they were taken back on april 15th. the united states offering to help nigeria track down those girls, as well. 6:31. happening today president obama will urge action on climate change. today's report is expected to touch on extreme weather across the country, including droughts and wildfires right here in california. "today in the bay" tracie potts joins us live in washington, d.c. tracie, the president is about to roll out his most ambitious climate change plan yet.

>> we heard part of it over the summer. the national assessment broken down by region and they highlight the drought and wildfires that we've seen out west as one example of what climate change is doing to our weather. severe weather patterns that it's creating, according to this report. the administration brought together all sorts of experts that believe that climate change is the culprit here. not everyone believes that and in fact even though the president has made new efforts when it comes to greenhouse gases trying to limit emissions, trying to create cleaner cars as part of its climate change program, there are some scientists who, frankly, don't believe that global warming is happening at all and they're thinking that the president needs to focus more on things like domestic oil which they argue would create jobs and the president, as one put it, the president's plans are hurting the very people, the poor, that he's trying to help. now, that report has come out

today. there's a big event at the white house this afternoon with scientists, climate change experts and meteorologist and our own al roker will be there and folks from all over the country to focus on what the administration hopes will eventually start to scale back the effect thavt we't we're see especially with that drought out in california. >> thank you so much. speaking of meteorologists. let's check in with christina this morning as we're taking a live look at san jose and san francisco. good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> 6:33 now. i'm just hanging out over here by myself. i was waiting for you guys. good morning to you. thank you for joining us this morning and for being part of our morning routine. i've got to do my job this morning and let you know windy out there today and those winds are going to intensify as we head throughout this afternoon and we'll hit that weather that i have been promising you. so, if you can get through one more day of pretty significant

weather, we've got a nice, nice finish to the week for you. 51 degrees in san jose and 52 for oakland to start and 52 in san francisco. if you're going to be heading out and about this tuesday, take a look at the gorgeous sky over san francisco this morning. little bit of cloud cover, but you'll notice these are mid-level clouds and not the low clouds that keep you nice and socked in. little bit of patchy fog and that is about it. that afternoon wind is going to whip. and as you know, it's been pretty blustery over the past couple of days and as a result of some of those battered limbs and branches we could see debris on the highway and roadways and travel cautiously. by 8:03 that sun will start to drop off and temperatures are going to be chilly as we head through the overnight hours. highs for today, not too bad, especially when you keep things in perspective. we have the 90s just days away and dive into that forecast and right now check your drive on a windy traffic tuesday. here's mike. >> show two things from this shot, actually, three. wind shaking the camera, the emeryville camera that i zoomed

in over and see the extension off to the left and those are the metering lights and folks are waiting like a starting gate and just right of there we see the disabled tractor trailer and a minor disruption as traffic is moving very nicely past that and the incline. they did slow the metering lights a bit as that truck was reported in lanes and, again, clear to the shoulder and pretty quickly there. a smooth drive and a build at the bay bridge toll plaza and west 580 off of 24 and off the east shore free way we have slowing past golden gate field into berkeley and, once again, at emeryville. typical pattern and not so bad for a tuesday, but we do have a heavier volume of traffic around the bay. typical for a tuesday and slow from san leandro into hayward and a new crash reported there, as well. no injuries reported, but an ambulance arrive on scene and precautionary reasons and that would cause more of a distraction and more slowing in that already congested area.

heading towards the san mateo bridge. dumbarton move smoothly and especially the high rise and gusts around the bay. south ba not a major problem, but 101 northbound and same for 87 and 85 and no slow downs just kicking in for this traffic tuesday. pretty typical pattern there, as well as the tri-valley. overview and your pick your path. >> nice and green. 6:36. still ahead, a neighbor tells a horrifying story, what he heard the night olympian oscar pistorius killed his girlfriend. why court will not be in session tomorrow. you're looking at live pictures of this bridge on interstate 5 or 15, rather. near hisperia. this is a route between los angeles and las vegas. you can see what a mess it is. we'll update you in just a minute. got a story for nbc bay area investigative unit? call the tip line at 1-888-

at 6:43. we have an update to breaking news. a group of islamic extremists just kidnapped eight more girls. the same group already holding over 200 girls captive in nigeria. peggy bunker joins us with the latest. >> terrible development as so many people are concerned about the fate and we are hearing this

new report from villagers and police who witnessed eight more girls being abducting adding to the girls that were originally taken. those girls were taken back on april 15th from a remote village while they were attending a government boarding school to get an education. the group and the group's leading part of an islamic militant group bragged and taunted the girls' families saying that in the video they would sell the girls. this is a video where the leader says, i stole your girls and i will sell them on the market and that the girls should, instead, be married on. it took three weeks for the story to apture international headlines and now protest marches across europe, washington, d.c., new york and yesterday here in san francisco where marchers protested in union square.

>> what else could be more? girls going to school, the boarding school and being kidnapped. >> now the hash tag bring back our girls has become an international symbol, one that is pressuring the nigerian government to do more. the nigerian military is wefully unresponsive causing a national outrage there. >> apparently they painted a picture that they were not aware of the gravity of the girls. they do not even believe that the girls were abducted. >> didn't even believe that the girls were abducted. this is the nigerian military. the group of girls that were taken from that boarding school many escaped and still over 200 are unaccounted for at this time. now eight more young women are facing very uncertain fates. back to you. >> just so frightening to see those numbers grow. thanks so much, peggy. on a happier note, let's check your forecast this morning

as we give you a live look at san jose and sun coming up. christina loren says it's going to be a little blustery. >> bringing in a breath of fresh air. >> in fact, if you do have those loose items in your backyard, one of those days we're calling a wind event. you want to tie those down and bring anything inside that could be damaged. we're talking about 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts which are pretty strong for us here in the bay area and the usual suspects, the wind-prone areas that is where we will see the fiercest winds as we progress throughout your tuesday. but you made it through monday, you know, sincinco de mayo a th of the past. we're running three to five degrees cooler than 24 hours ago. lots of low 50s and couple upper 40s out there, as well. ie, cool enough for you to grab a coat in addition to the cold. wind chill factor out there and now in the double digits in san francisco and meanwhile still in the single digits from the inland valleys and this wind is going to ramp up as we progress
