Bands of snow will reach across at least six states causing headaches for morning commuters. The heaviest snow is forecasted to fall in time for Late Afternoon ride home at 2 inches per hour. Wind will be a factor with gusts up to 25 miles per00 s pers per hour blowing snow across roadways. The city began prepping months ago and spent the last few days transitioning some of their trucks to combat the snow. Despite the presence of plows and salt trucks, drivers are encouraged to take it slow. Might be harder to see if the snow is coming down hard. How are you going to manage that when youre driving . Folks need to slow down. They need to add time to their travel. Now after the system moves out of the region portions of the midwest will brace for a significant drop in temperatures, including here in minneapolis. Where temperatures could drop to single digit lows for the rest of the week. All right rachel you look like youre buckled in for safety. Thats a good thing.

A huge fireworks display and cultural performance welcomed president oama and other World Leaders to beijing this morning. The president is using a Global Economic summit to talk to allies about a range of issues. Our chief White House CorrespondentMajor Garrett is traveling with the president this morning. Reporter good morning. This trip has been on the books for months but it still comes as a welcome relief for president obama, giving him some distance from his political troubles back home. President obama arrived in beijing for the 21 economy apex summit a politically wounded lame duck, eager to remind asia the u. S. Is a military and economic power, rivalling china where Economic Growth has slowed. The pursuit of Economic Growth, job creation and trade is not a zerosum gain. One countrys prosperity doesnt have to come at the of another. Reporter the president and australias Prime Minister tony abbott met on the summit sidelines to discuss the fight against isis in iraq. Australia sending special forces troops. Mr. Obama recently doubled the number of u. S. Military advisers to help train and advise iraqs mediocre military. The isil threat is a menace to the whole world. Reporter australia is the last stop on the president s threenation trip. In between, a twocity stop in myanmar, a country emerging from decade, of millionitary rule but still struggling to reduce human rights violations. Beijing didnt just roll out the red carpet for Global Economic players here but a ruby red road, flanked by dancers that guided limousines to the summer olympic water cube. The president appeared an agreed upon purple summit garb. Earlier, reminding china of permanent u. S. Economic ambitions in the region. We are leading to promote shared Economic Growth this century just as we did in the last. Reporter that the u. S. And china are competitors is clear to all here. But the u. S. And china did reach an important agreement. Business and tourist visas will be extended in both countries from one year to ten years and student visas from one year to five years. That change begins in the United States wednesday. Gayle. All right major, thank you. There are reports this morning the leader of isis was wounded in a Coalition Air strike. Two iraqi officials and state television says Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi was wounded. The pentagon is not confirming. On sundays face the nation president obama told Bob Schieffer the nation is entering a new phase in the fight against isis. He says sending 1,500 more american troops to iraq will help that country launch an offense against the militants. Michael, good morning. Good morn norah. U. S. Officials this morning are not confirming al baghdadi has been killed or wounded. What do you think about the significant we may have struck him . Whats significant to me is that we hit a military convoy that we knew isis leadership was part of. So whats important here obviously, if we got baghdadi thats a good thing. Whats really important here is that we found a leadership target and we went after it. How good is our intelligence . If two days later, we still dont know if hes safe or wounded or killed . So this was a convoy that we struck, that we knew was a leadership convoy. That takes very good intelligence. What happens in the aftermath, theres no pattern that ive ever seen. Sometimes we learn very quickly that somebody has been injured or killed. Sometimes it takes days and even weeks. It all depends on how these groups handle these kinds of things. If the reports are true how concerned should we be about people stepping up to take his place . Body would obviously step up to take his place. The reason why these strikes are important is they force the leadership of a terrorist group to think about their own security rather than conduct their operations. The other reason is that as you remove leaders, over typeime, you get weaker leaders. That is one of the key ways to degrade a terrorist organization. One of the things weve talked about is the growing romanticism around some of these terrorist groups like isis. This morning, we are learning that egypts most active gee hadjihadi group has declaits a allegiance to isis. How significant . Not only this group in egypt, also a group in libya that has done the same thing. This is the first two times that terrorist groups in other parts of the world have given their allegiance to isis. I think this is a very big deal. It shows the popularity of the group. It shows the spread of its influence. And what youll see as a result is these groups trying to mimic isis. What youll see is these groups trying to take territory and the weeks and months ahead. Two former american prisoners in north korea enjoying their freedom this morning after returning home. The lingering question is why were kenneth bae and Matthew Miller releasinged . North korea released the two men without much warning. John blackstone is at joint base lewismccrd near tacoma washington, where the captives arrived saturday. This is where bae and miller first stepped on to american soil, again, saturday night. Their release is being applauded across the country. But u. S. Officials remain tightlipped about exactly why north koreas communist regime finally decided to release them. Kenneth bae celebrated his first full day back on american soil with his family. I just want to say thank you, all, for supporting me lifting me up and not forgetting me. We thought about all of our favorite korean restaurants. He said i dont want korean food, thats all ive been eating for the last two years. He said, i want a burger or pizza. Reporter for the past two years, bae was held captive in a north korean hard labor camp. Bae, a missionary, convicted of being part a christian plot to overthrow the regime. The release was a surprise to many until bae himself. I dont think he knew they told him to get on the plane. Bae was followed off the plane by Matthew Miller another american held captive since april on espionage charges. In an interview this summer he pleaded for the u. S. To intervene. I am now requesting help from the american government. Reporter that help came from the nations top spy, u. S. Director of national intelligence, james clapper. He flew to north korea, carrying a letter from president obama, certifying he was the president s personal envoy, authorized to negotiate their release. Congressional leaders did not hear of it until clappers mission was under way. While leader kim jungen did not meet with clapper directly former state Department Official capland says the official to release bae and miller m come from the leader himself. He finally decided that okay, we dont need this to be standing in the way of potentially getting down to more important discussions. Reporter the release of miller and bae comes after the release of another american Jeffrey Fowle was sent home just last month. A state Department Official says north korea set no conditions for the release of miller and bae. All right, john thank you. Before president obama flew to china, he told Bob Schieffer on face the nation he will change immigration policy if congress doesnt act by the end of the year. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the president s comments are sparking dramatic warnings from republicans. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Just in case it isnt clear how much republicans hate the president s plan they used words like toxic and incendiary to describe it and warned it would destroy any fragile attempts at compromise in the wake of last weeks elections. I think it would be like the president pulling the pin out of the hand grenade and throwing it in as were trying to Work Together. The wyoming senator john barroso one of several republicans who issued stern warnings but president obama told Bob Schieffer hes going to take action on immigration because congress hasnt. Every day that i wait were misallocating resources, were deporting people that shouldnt be deported were not deporting folks that are dangerous and need to be deported. The president s plan would ease restrictions on some undocumented immigrants. Cory gardner was just elected to the senate from colorado. Because whatever the executive order is if he does do that, will not be the kind of changes we need to the overall immigration system so lets do the right thing, lets Work Together. Reporter mr. Obama said whatever action he takes would be superseded by Anything Congress passes. And if in fact its true that they want to pass a bill theyve got good ideas, nobodys stopping them and the minute they do it the minute i sign that bill then what ive done goes away. Reporter the Senate Passed a bipartisan reform bill a year and a half ago. But it stalled in the republicanled house. California republican darrell issa acknowledged the houses track record on this issue isnt good. In my 14 years on judiciary and the work ive tried to do on immigration, time and time again, people have missed opportunities. Reporter this isnt the only issue causing tension between the two sides as Congress Prepares to return to washington for the first time in a month and a half. Republicans say that the confirmation of the president s new nominee for attorney general, loretta lynch, should wait until they control the senate in january, but democrats may want to try to confirm her right away. Gayle. All right, nancy, thanks. Anger is boiling over in mexico this morning about the disappearance and apparent murder of 43 college students. Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in mexico city over the weekend. They are demanding justice. Man well bojorquez is there. Reporter the 43 students were from a Rural Teaching College and had traveled for a protest to the town of iguala 120 miles south of mexico city. Their bus was ambushed by local police. No one has heard from them or seen them since. Demonstrators attacked the National Palace in mexico city this weekend. Angered by what could be one of the worst mass murders in recent years. The protests came after it took the Mexican Government six weeks to announce that three gang members had been arrested for killing 43 students and burning their bodies in a landfill. Investigators discovered several mass graves, but it wasnt until last friday when mexicos attorney general said they had uncovered their best lead. In videotaped interrogations, the suspects described how they brought the bodies to a remote body dump and burned them from midnight until the next afternoon to help erase any trace of the crime. Federal Officials Say the attack was ordered by the mayor of iguala over concerns the students known for their act advice sim, would disrupt a public event for his wife. Both are accused to having links to drug gangs and were arrested last month along with 72 others, many of them police officers. The ties between public corruption and private interest organized crime, are just so clear in this case. People are very frustrated by the fact that a local mayor can be in cahoots with organized crime and kill 43 people. Reporter several families of the missing insist the students are still alive and are being held captive. And federal officials have stopped short of saying the case is closed pending dna results. The federal police have taken over security in the town of iguala and mexicos president has disarmed local Police Forces in 17 nearby towns. All right, manmanuel thank you.
