of their vehicles. >> up until now takata has refused to acknowledge their airbags are defective. that changes today. today i announce that takata has agreed to declare that airbag inflator's are defective. it is recalling these inflator's and these recalls are nationwide. >> reporter: some of the materials in airbags can degrade over time. the problem makes of the airbags inflate too quickly. at least five people have died. >> this has also begun its own testing program will make sure the replacement airbag inflator's are in fact safe. >> reporter: the safety administration has recalled 18 million vehicles with takata airbags.

that began leaking into the ocean shortly before noon. the flow has been stopped but crews are working on the cleanup now. we want to bring in our chief meteorologist, bill martin. you are familiar with this area. >> when you get in oil spill it is usually from in oil tanker. this one came from a pipe that was broken and the oil leaked in from the beach. that in some ways is a little better because he won't have as much oil getting far out to the ocean. this is what we are talking about. it is 300 miles south of the bay area. if you have driven down highway 1 you know this area. it is right up in here, i can come in a little closer.

it is. what we are seeing now are winds that are blowing out of the northwest. they are blowing something like this in this area. they are taking the oil and pressing it down towards town. the other thing we have -- i think we have some video. we do have reports now of a couple whales a couple whales in this area. this is the beach. you can see the oil on the beach. what you don't see is that water is black. that is a lot of oil on the beach. we were talking about it in the newsroom it is a good size oil spill. this will be a big deal. we will cover it tonight at 10:00. right now the oil spill is heading south down towards santa barbara. the western conference finals get underway tonight in oakland.

game one at the arena. >> what do you think we will see tonight? >> after all of these years covering sports i give up on reading the predictions because you have it in your head one way it will look and it can turn into something completely different. with the rockets and golden state warriors these two teams like to run and gone. they are the top two teams on fast-break points and three-point shots. there will be no shortage of action. maybe it will develop into a series where we see the big guys play a huge role. dwight howard for the rockets and andrew mogg it for the golden state warriors. let's talk about a couple of different match ups that could impact this series. you have been around long enough to know

you never know what you will wind up seeing. >> reporter: that is exactly right. as you take a look behind me you see james harden getting ready. it is a reminder this is a whole new group of people and a new set of circumstances for this series. if you think back the last time golden state was in the finals in 1976 when they lost in seven games to the phoenix suns. that was one year after golden state one there one west coast championship. it is a whole new generation of fans and warrior players who are going this deep in the playoffs. there are those who feel in this series he warriors are better matched up against the rockets and have a better chance than they did against the memphis grizzlies. that is because the grizzlies have those two big guys. the guys who will try to defend dwight howard is a dream on green.

he talked about the contrasting styles of these too teams. -- of these two teams. >> we have played them twice without dwight howard and their tempo was crazy. you have got to do your work early against them. they are very physical. when he is going they generally win games. >> they are more active. they like to pass. they like to shoot the midrange jump shots. it is a completely different style of basketball. >> it was tough. the last series was tough. >> reporter: a couple of storylines you might not want to watch. the warriors were 4-0 the regular-season against the rockets.

most people say that does not mean anything. also remembered that steph curry was number one in the mvp voting and james harden was number two. it is great safe to say james harden was not all that gracious about being number two. the rockets are a very good three-point shooting team where the memphis grizzlies were not. don't forget golden state is one of the best defending teams in the nba. we will see you tonight live at 10:00. >> we will look forward to your report. game one to decide who goes to the final. i can say i am looking i am looking forward to it because these are faster paced teams them what we saw with the memphis grizzlies. i think we will have some major action. >> he was only 10 feet from james harden.

what would have happened if he said do you want to say anything? or walked over and asked him a quick question. >> that is the thing, you are so close to these guys why could you not get a live interview with james harden who has had so many controversial things to say. but, you are strictly prohibited from doing that. we have to remember that is their job. they are working. they are just shooting the basketball. they are working so you have to leave them alone. >> reporter: let them do their thing. -- and let them do their thing. we have a friendly rivalry going on against our sister station in houston. we hope you like and share this post before tipoff tonight to prove our fans are number one. new development in the fight to keep the raiders in oakland. but the owner has to say about it.
