now the biggest city in the u.s. is getting its own eyes in the sky. ahead, an exclusive look inside the command center at the heart of manhattan. plus, they're among the groups at highest risk for contracting the h1n1 virus. how do you reach an entire generation that doesn't always rely on traditional media for news. you go viral. iran may already have the information it needs to make a working nuclear weapon. that from a report from a u.n. nuclear watchdog obtained by the "new york times". it comes as iran agrees to let inspectors into its not so secret nuclear facility later next month. they say the program is to generate electricity, not bombs, but it built this new facility in secret inside a mountain and next to a military base. iran calls its nuclear program a right, but if it got a nuke, it could have a huge impact on its neighbors including iraq,

afghanistan, pakistan, and israel. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations saying the leaked report does not necessarily change the white house's assessment. listen. >> there are various assessments and they don't all align. the point is we share the concern that iran with nuclear weapons pose a great threat to national security and the security of allies and partners in the region. >> but ambassador rice also warning the negotiations will not go on forever. james rosen with the news from washington. james? >> reporter: julie, senior u.s. officials are treading gingerly around these excerpts of a draft report by nuclear experts from the iaea that concludes iran possesses sufficient information to design and produce a workable nuclear weapon. the head of the iaea was in iran this morning announcing his agency's inspectors will on october 25th be admitted inside the underground uranium enrichment site that iran kept secret until just last week.

he won the nobl nobel peace pri, said today the iaea has no concrete proof that there is an ongoing nuclear weapons program in iran. however, the iaea draft report cites iran's work on high explosive testing and its redesign of a missile reentry vehicle. iran's decision to admit inspectors into the facility while at high level talks in geneva attended by da diplomats. today the president's national security advisor sidestepped a question about whether the iaea draft report suggesting the iranians know how to build a nuclear bomb is accurate. >> whether they know how to do it or not is, you know, is a matter of some conjecture, but what we're watching is what is their intent, and we have been worried about that intent. we now have an iran that is willing to come to the table.

>> reporter: indeed, the iranians return to the negotiating table to hammer out an agreement with the u.s., france, and russia that could see say ra tehran shipping 1200s to russia for processing their. >> james ro rosen, thanks from washington. following recent allegation it waallegationsof a terror plow york city, it may be important to ric ratchet up security at te empire state building and the world trade site. there's a massive surveillance operation there installing 150 cameras with many more in the pipeline. it's all part of a $100 million security initiative modeled after the so-called ring of steel. steel. they have a system in the u.k. designed to monitor london's own financial district. laura ingle is live in lower manhattan with a closer look at

new york's version of the ring of steel. hi, laura. >> reporter: high, julie. today for the first time we were allowed to take our cameras inside lower manhattan's security command center. inside this high tech nerve center is where law enforcement and those in the private sector all at the same time can keep their eyes on high-value targets like the brooklyn bridge here behind me, wall street, the ports, all at the same time. the center has been up and running since november of 2008, and there have been constant upgrades to the state of the art facility, but now the mayor of new york, michael bloomberg and the police commissioner, ray kelly, say they have $24 million in homeland security grants to not only improve the high tech equipment in place but to expand the system as well. >> it is an area that includes penn station, grand central station, the empire state and chrysler buildings, the united nations, and other highly visible buildings and institutions that people around the world would identify with

our city. >> one of the integral parts of this command center is this screen. it is a map of lower manhattan, and as you can see right here, these are icons where a 9-1-1 call would come in. you can see the cell phones. these blue dots are where there are fixed cameras around the city. if there's an incident called in, we zoom over here to this part of the map where there are real-time camera views of what's happening on the street when those calls come in. >> license plate readers, chemical, biological, and radiological sensors are worked into the mix to enhance the network of surveillance while balancing the privacy of citizens. nypd officials tell us that there are major upgrades going into that system this weekend. they're being done today as we speak and tomorrow. a lot of that will be fired up, so the big apple will have even more protection as we move through the next days and weeks. julie? >> all right. laura ingle live in lower manhattan tonight. thank you. two rode rod what loongs lor

attack was a disaster drail dril completely with a smoke bomb. it was all to create a realistic scenario. homeland security officials and emergency responders took part in the drill as well. this is all meant to help prepare them in the case of a real disaster or attack. a wildfire alert now. two areas of southern california are going up in flames tonight. in one fire a state of emergency has been declared, homes destroyed, thousands evacuated. another fire just hours old is already forcing crews to call in reinforcements. here's a look at what's happening right now. here's the newest fire. wow, look at that burn. it's raging near thousand oaks, a heavily populated community north of los angeles. heavy winds fueling those flames. fire crews calling in extra engines and tankers to battle this one. communities obviously on high alert. 30 acres have burned so far

already. elsewhere in southern california, take a look at these live pictures. governor arnold schwarzenegger declaring a state of emergency for san bernadino county, and they're fighting hard, this fire destroying three homes already. close to 6,000 people evacuated. about five and a half square miles totally scorched and that number is expected to climb because high winds up to 45 miles per hour are fueling these flames right now. that's not all. because over in arizona, take a look. this is about 120 miles north of phoenix. a third fire that started out as an out of control or controlled burn, rather, continues to burn out of control. more than a thousand acres have already gone up in flames, forcing people around the town of williams to evacuate. >> i'm going to my son's house in phoenix and they have swine flu in their house right now. i'm kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. >> reporter: people like kathy are packing up their pets and leaving their homes. the scenic town of williams is

known as the gateway to the grand canyon. from fires to the south to wicked weather to the north, ready or not, here comes a winter storm. depending on where you live, you could get soaked by buckets of rain or deal with freezing temperatures and even snow. let's check in with accu weather's nikki who has the latest. >> the fire is being fueled by the wind, but of course, it's the snow a accumulation that is making for big news. it's not that out of the ordinary in october to see a lot of snow in the higher elevations. that's really where we're going to see the highest accumulations. in fact, the not so heavily populated areas getting the worst of it all, in fact, in northwestern wyoming as well as mon tan thamontana will have wir warnings in effect. they could look at ac politicann -- accumulations of up to a half a fight. there will be treacherous travel along i-90 as well as i-15.

if you're driving in those regions and up in the higher elevations up above 5 or 6,000 feet, that's where the worst of it will be before it shifts into the northern and central plains. now, talk about pounding rain. we're certainly going to see a lot of it. the southeast really getting just bombarded, saturating the region that's already been saturated as that tropical moisture continues to fuel a stationary bound tha boundary tt continues to move through. back to you, julie. >> thank you very much. a week-old baby kidnapped from his mother found safe. that's the good news, but the reunion was short. why it ended with cops taking the newborn plus his three siblings away from their mom. plus a former judge accused of using his power on the bench to paddle inmates, and that's not all. the story is still ahead on the "fox report". yg;wwgkóçó37wcwówg'çówóçoo

a twist in the case of a kidnapped newborn. police say the baby was taken from his mothers in a violent attack, then found four days later with a woman now accused in the abduction. while mother and child were reunited, but only briefly because apparently tennessee child services took custody of the baby along with the woman's three other children saying little yai grill lo yair and his would be safer in foster care. according to police, yair was kidnapped tuesday in nashville when a woman posing as an immigration agent stabbed his mother, mari maria. the 39-year-old tammy silas was

charged with kidnapping. the babwe're told a judge will w the case next week to determine when the children can go home. a north carolina middle school teacher accused of having sex with a student is arrested in ohio. police say this man skipped town when he found out he was facing multiple charges when police caught up with him. now they're working to extra diet him to north carolina, but the story gets even more disturbing. here's the report. >> reporter: sheriff andy stokes said 50-year-old doug eversbach was praig on 12, 13, and 14-year-old girls. he won't say what the teacher was doing with students, just that i it was sickening. >> it's very alarming to our officials. they didn't have a clue that any of this behavior was going on. >> reporter: the sheriff said his investigators wouldn't have known to start investigating the

teacher except that a mom called on monday to let them know that he had broken into their home, but he said he didn't actually break in. he had a key to the house. it was the key of a 13-year-old girl investigators now believe eversbach was sexually involved with. >> shouldn't he have been teaching school at that time anyway? >> he should have been. >> reporter: eversbach is charged with one count of breaking and entering, four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and one count of indecent liberties with a minor. the sheriff said more charges may come later. he said eversbach didn't stick around to see if he would get arrested. >> when he found out the report had been made, he resigned from the school system and moved to ohio immediately. >> reporter: eversbach taught from 2006 to 2008 at a middle school. this year he taught 7th grade social studies at ellis middle. the sheriff said he taught at wayne county and before that in ohio. they're afraid there may be

dozens more victims than they know of now. >> the parents suspect that their children have been in contact with this man, that they contact us as soon as possible. we need all the information on this man that we can find. >> that was news from winston salem, north carolina. a rising star in alabama court system, a circuit judge preparing for his own trial. he's accused of offering leniency to male inmates in exchange for sex. the details quite sore did. herman thomas resigned two years ago after accusations he had defendants strip in his office so he could paddle them. he faces a long list of charges including kidnapping, sex abuse, and extortion involving 15 current and former inmates. the judge's attorney said the inmates are trying to ruin his outstanding legal career. for almost 20 years, alan greenspan ran the country's finances as chairman of the fed,

alan green span's prognosis for an imminent economic recovery, not so good. his gloomy forecast is based on the latest unemployment rate now standing at nearly 9.8%. he predicts it will go beyond 10% and stay there for a while but he advises the president not to try to fix the problem with yet another stimulus package. >> there's a considerable debate going on in the economics profession but how effective this stimulus package is, and so it may be because of the fact that as broad as it is and as effective as it will turn out to

be, there's still 60% left to go, so in my judgment, it's far better to wait and see how this momentum that's already begun to develop in the economy carries forward. >> greenspan adds the growing number of americans who have been out of work six months or longer is a great concern. that's because their skills may start to erode over such a long period of time. julie kirtz joins us live from washington with more. hi, julie. >> reporter: hey, julie. if you're looking for a job, you'll agree with the words of the former federal reserve chairman today. he called the 9.8% jobless rate number for september pretty awful, but alan greenspan said he's very concerned about those who have been out of work, as you said, for a while because when those people start to lose job skills, that is, in his words, an irretrievable loss for the economy. >> the economy loses skills, and people who are out of work for very protracted periods of time

lose their skills eventually and remember that what makes the economy great is a combination of the capital assets of the economy and the people who run it. >> reporter: over 7 million jobs gone since december of 2007 when the unemployment rate was 4.9%, but greenspan said this is no time for another major stimulus plan. on fox news sunday, i understand democrat senator -- indiana democrat senator evan bayh said the economy would be worse without the stimulus package. >> i would try to have it go sooner and have it directly related to jobs but it is what it is. it continues to go into the economic bloodstream and keep things as unsatisfying as they are from being a whole lot worse. >> reporter: the white house has started preliminary talks on extending enhanced unemployment

benefits past december and continuing a tax credit for first time home buyers. republicans argue today let's try lowering taxes to get the economy back on track. julie? >> july cirt julie kirtz in was. thank you. how do you get people to shop in this economy? retailers have a new holiday plan this year. they're banking on good old nostalgia to bring in the bucks. you know how in recent years retailers went on a crazy spree during the holidays featuring glits and glam and whiel wild c? they're keeping it simple, more homey, because not even retailers want to look grandiose in these belt-tightening times. plan to see more red and green. there's a lot riding on the switch. for many merchants, holiday sales bring in 40% of their annual revenue. something neither kids nor adults in venezuela should put on their christmas list this

because after just 25 weeks in her mother's womb ... >> your world is kind of turned upside down in an instant. >> reporter: little macy was in for the fight of her young life. >> she had this guy gan tick tumor that was the size of a grapefruit. >> reporter: her parents turned to texas children's hospital in houston. >> i had never seen anything like that before. >> reporter: one of just four places in the world equipped to save their daughter's life. >> this is a very risky surgery. it's on the cutting edge, essentially. >> reporter: in fact, tch had never done a surgery like this before. dr. darrell cass is one of the surgeons who removed the unborn baby from the womb, then removed the tumor before putting little macy back inside her mother's belly. >> she just didn't quit fighting. >> reporter: she was born for the second time ten weeks later. >> life doesn't always go as smoothly as you like so what are you going to do with the cards you've been dealt?

>> reporter: against the odds, the mccartneys never lost hope. >> hope? you just keep hoping for the best. >> reporter: hope is appropriately macy's middle name. >> if we all are honest and look back at some of the tough things in life that come our way, they're often the things that shape us and grow us and teach us more than the good things. >> wow. what an incredible story. that was chris stipes reporting from kriv in houston. bottom of the hour, time for the top of the news. a tennessee newborn kidnapped and found four days later in alabama is now in the care of child services and so are his three siblings. authorities say the children will be safer in foster care for the time being. they're not saying why they think the kids might be in danger if returned to their mom. and in alabama a trial is scheduled to get underway tomorrow for a circuit judge. herman thomas is accused of offering leniency to male inmates in exchange for sex. the charges include kidnapping,

sex biewtion abuse, and extorti. the white house is saying it's seeing signs of cooperation from iran as the country agrees to let inspectors check out its new nuclear facility at the end of the month. they tried to build the facility in secret. the country claims the production is for peaceful purposes, but the u.s. and its allies say iran is trying indeed to build a nuclear weapon. this as the "new york times" obtains a report from the united nation's watch dog group saying iran may have the data it actually needs to build a nuclear bomb and the capability to do so. with a little context on what these inspections will entail, i'm joined by a former assistant deputy administrator with the national nuclear security ad administration, leonard specter. thank you very much. you once worked for the iaea. no one knows better, really. i mean, you know what we've been dealing with to try to get iran to be fortright and honest. that certainly hasn't been the

case. the iaea is reporting iran has information it needs to build a nuclear bomb. what does this mean for the u.s. and our troops stationed in that part of the world, on the border nation of iraq and afghanistan. >> the information has been around for a while. what we're seeing for the first time and what you and i are seeing is this all spelled out in black and white in an official iaea document which is circulating internally. it really hasn't been made public yet. it's very scary in terms of the kind of work they've been doing on this nuclear device. the details they've been working on, at least as late as 2003, maybe not so much recently, and i think all the neighbors states are very nervous as is the united states. >> tehran has already tested an implosion device successfully. they designed it to fit atop a missile which could actually hit the middle east and europe. what about israel who ahmadinejad has said he would like to see wiped off the face of the earth? >> i think israel is very, very concerned about this. we still have some time here.

they don't have the stuff they need to make the bomb yet, so we have some time for negotiations to work, but we're sort of in the last phase. if they don't work by the beginning of next year which is the deadline that obama has put down, i think we're going to have a very nasty confrontation of some kind. >> on the surface, it seems like iran is cooperating. history, though, tells a much different story, but this time they're allowing u.n. inspectors to go in. the problem is they're not allowing them in until october 25th. that's se me awa doesn't that give them enough time to hide any incriminating evidence before inspectors get into their country? >> they've acknowledged this a uranium enrichment plant which is the most important single point they could acknowledge. i'm sure we'll find some of that equipment. how the equipment was lined up, whether it was set up to produce a reactorrani it was intended to produce weapon grade uranium is something we'd all like to know. that could conceivably be hidden in the intervening period.

>> the question is if negotiations are ever successful, will they stick? president obama said tehran agreed on thursday in geneva to send its enriched uranium outside iran. then one day later someone involved in the negotiation said no, that hasn't even been discussed yet, so it seems like the u.s. is duped once again into believing that iran will actually cooperate this time around, while they could actually be building time to build nukes. >> well, everybody is very aware of the point you've made. it is a constant concern of the obama administration and every american and foreign initial that's fighting in these negotiations. if they eat up too much time, iran gets the advantage. that's why a deadline has been set for the imposition of tougher sanctions or perhaps even worse. >> leonard specter, thank you very much. appreciate your insight. thank you. to afghanistan where insurgents attacked u.s. troops in one of the worst days of fighting since the war began eight years ago.

that's according to u.s. officials who say eight american soldiers were killed. several more were wounded. compare that to the single deadliest attack on u.s. forces there. in july 2008 when taliban fighters killed nine soldiers and wounded 27 more, all told since 2001, 774 u.s. troops have been killed fighting in afghanistan. fox'seppl from kabul on today's deadly attack. >> reporter: u.s. military officials are calling this attack well organized and complex. more than 250 taliban insurgents attacked two u.s. military outposts in a remote part of eastern afghanistan. in the province where this attack happened is extremely rugged and difficult terrain to fight in. according to u.s. officials, after a long bloody fight, american troops were able to repell the attack, but it came at a high cost. eight u.s. and two afghan

soldiers were killed. >> we're under the second day of the operations. reinforcement has been provided. quick reaction with the proper surveillance underground and normal framework operations are being conducted as we speak in the villages. >> reporter: the top commander in afghanistan, general stanley mcchrystal, has placed an much sis on protecting -- an emphasis on protecting afghan civilians and has asked for more troops in hopes of stabilizing the country. with the taliban gaining strength, general mcchrystal says there could be many more days like this one before it gets better in afghanistan. >> thank you very much. new help for folks hit by a powerful tsunami in american samoa, a u.s. territory in the pacific ocean. volunteers unloading 40,000 pounds of supplies. the donations coming from companies including wal-mart and the bank of hawaii. we're told the recovery effort focusing on areas where waves of

water and debris have destroyed homes and businesses. what we're going to do is get all the supplies here and create numbers so that when we're ready, we know exactly what we need to create. >> now that we've lost everything and we get stuff donated from people, i thank god and i am so grateful. >> what an amazing spirit. some locals reportedly pitched in by bringing their own supplies for their neighbors. flash floods lead to disaster in india while voters in greece take a huge step toward socialized government. that's two of our stops as we go around the world in 80 seconds. jerusalem. protests erupt when police close a compound housing some of islam's holiest sites. officers arrested several palestinians after they threw rocks and bottles in frustration over the ban. luckily, no injuries have been reported. india. flash floods leaving more than 200 dead.

some of the people most at risk for getting h1n1 are most likely to shun the traditional media sources that provide information about the deadly virus. teens and young adults are among those most likely to get

seriously ill from this flu strain, but in the internet age, they may not rely upon newspapers or tv even though the fox newschannel is the source for any and all news regarding h1n1. now, the centers for disease control has found a new way to target the people who themselves remain a target of this deadly virus, and it involves using some of the most popular forms of communication. a "fox report" now from jonathan serre. >> reporter: h1n1 disproportionately affects young people, so public health officials are adapting the way they get information out to those at risk. >> our message is we'll need to be, you know, sort of hip and attention-getting because this is the group that obviously is paying attention to a lot of things, and to get them to pay attention to flu and make it relevant for them will be a challenge to us. >> reporter: the centers for disease control and prevention is using social networking sites such as facebook, myspace, and twitter to get out the latest

information on h1n1. the cdc even held a contest on youtube to choose its flu.gov public service announcement. ♪[music] >> i am an avid user of youtube and twitter. >> reporter: sarah strunk is a third year med student and falls within the demographic for getting h1n1. >> what is so great about what the cdc is doing is they're utilizing tools that we're familiar with that we check every day to communicate with us. >> reporter: cdc officials say while americans still pay close attention to advice from their doctors, they're increasingly influenced by what their friends say and what they read on the web. >> peer influence is taking place heavily on line. we want to be a part of that conversation. >> reporter: the research on h1n1 is constantly unfolding. keeping up with the science in

real-time is now just a click or tweet away. in atlanta, jonathan serre, fox news. >> very cool. well, a rather strange sighting this weekend at a target shopping center. strange even for the wild plains of texas and it's all caught on tape. this is at a target, did i mention that? this wily looking character decided to make a rare appearance at a very public venue in the town of grapevine. the lone coyote startled some shoppers and nearby residents advised to keep their pets indoors, but no one was hurt. eventually the roaming coyote roameroamed back home. a police car running into a tiny culprit and a tiny hero making a quick decision in two stops as we go across america. mass. police say a squad car in plymouth tumbled off the road after hitting a deer. the state trooper behind the wheel taken to the hospital with minor injuries. he was driving on a routine

well, they say when it comes to curing drug addiction, there are no quick fixes, but now one israeli clinic claims to have revolutionized the often complicated process of rehab. the clinic focuses its treatment on opeate dependency. he claims to have a patient off drugs two days pain-free. he counts world leaders and celebrities among his patients. now he's opened a clinic in california. mike tobin fro with more from israel. >> reporter: a person looking to break the grip of addiction to heroin needed to endure an agonizing physical withdrawal after which he or she was most certain to relapse and get hooked again. now an israeli doctor promises he can cure an opiate addict pain-free and have them off the drug within two days. he said 80% of his 11,000 patients have never relapsed. >> i'm sorry to tell you, but to treat opiate dependency is much

easier than to treat a common cold, no doubt about it. >> reporter: his treatment is all geared toward the physical effect of the drug. your body naturally produces endooendorphins which make a pen feel good. at the same time the brain develops more receptors that cry out to be indulged. the addicts spirals downward, trying to satisfy an ever-increasing physical urge for the drug. so dr. wiseman puts the addict under anesthesia so he or she is knocked out through the most painful part of withdrawal and cleanses the system using medication which blocks the molecules from receptors in the brain. >> now you're not dependent. you don't have cravings and you're protecting against the effect of opiates. >> other doctors say wiseman's treatment is partial. an addict is usually psychological mess before and definitely after he or she gets hooked. >> that's why we want to suggest

the person still needs to have rehabilitation treatment, psychosocial treatment. >> reporter: the treatment does not apply to addictions to other substances like alcohol, cocaine, or marijuana, but dr. wiseman now has the backing of the state. israel will subsidize the $7,000 fee to treat 50 different addicts with his program. mike tobin, fox news. they probably know they shouldn't do it. still many people who smoke say they resent the government taxing them into quitting. they're finding a loop hole. wait until you see just how far some smokers are taking this growing trend to get their fix. that's straight ahead. ale nt
