world will strike strike back at the coalition. along with isis, the nusra front is a target of the air raids. both groups wants to impose islamic law in syria but they're fighterring each other. president barack obama is acknowledging that the united states underestimated the rise of isis in iraq and syria. in an interview tonight on cbs's 60 minutes the president says the situation calls for both military and political solutions. >> essentially what happened with isil was that you had al-qaeda in iraq which was a vicious group but our marines were able to quash with the help of sunni tribes. they went back underground but over the past couple of years, during the chaos of the syrian civil war where essentially you have huge swaths of the country that are completely ungoverned, they were able to recons tutor -- reconstitute

themselves. >> you can see the full interview tonight on 60 minutes. that's next at 7 o'clock. tensions running high in ferguson missouri after a police officer is shot. the unidentified officer was shot in the arm last night when he encountered two men outside avenue closed community center. the officer returned fire but they did get away. the officer is expected to be okay. the chief of police was asked if the shooting had anything at all to do with ongoing protests about the shooting death of michael brown. >> i don't think it is. it didn't happen within the proximity of the protest area. this is an area that's fairly secluded and i wouldn't have any reason to believe right now that it was linked in any way shape, manner or form with the protests. >> hours later an off duty ferguson officer was cut by broken glass during a drive by shooting. officials say it's unlikely the suspects knew he was an officer when they fired at his personal vehicle. and we are getting a look now at the new mr. and

mrs. clooney. take a look. cameras caught them leaving the venice hotel where they were married yesterday. human rights lawyer amal alamuddin did what many thought was impossible and got oscar winning actor george clooney to commit for the long haul. a civil ceremony is expected to take place at venice's town hall tomorrow. and take a look here. powerful storms brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the southwest. there was some serious damage at phoenix's sky harbor international airport and some residents became stranded due to flood waters. no injuries have been reported. the storms also caused flooding in parts of nevada as well. justin they're having a tough time out there in the southwest area but we're having beautiful days here. >> yeah, much of the east coast very quiet. we're in a very quiet weather pattern. temperatures well above average feeling like summer today. looks like we'll finish off the month of september on the warmer side. so, check out the conditions outside wherever you are.

pretty nice, just some high level clouds moving through. we'll look at atlantic city right now. nice finish to the day coming off great beach day once again, sunshine with temperatures well into the 70's. look after these highs today across the delaware valley. again, this is typical for mid, even early august. minus the humidity. look at that. 84 in allentown for the high, 85 in reading, a little bit cooler near the shore but still not bad into the upper 70's. ocean water temperature still hanging onto 70 degrees. and it's warm outside still this hour. upper 70's even still some low 80's showing up. trenton at 81 degrees, 80 in reading, 78 right now in wilmington, delaware. there's some of those clouds moving in from the south and west but really no rain showing up on storm scan3. the exception a little shower trying to break out across northern virginia. we'll keep things dry into the work week. tuesday and wednesday are our next shot for a couple of showers, not a big storm to talk about at all. look at the wind arrows, they're pointing northward. that means a southerly breeze.

that's why our temperatures are on the warm side that. warm air mass sticks around overnight. tomorrow same deal, light winds about five to 10 miles per hour out of the south and southwest but notice the wind direction as we head towards tuesday. starts to shift more easterly and southeasterly so that's coming off the ocean so we'll gradually knock the temperatures back down to where they should be starting tuesday. another warm day on monday, partly sunny skies. temperatures upper 70's to again near 80 degrees. i think many spots will hit that 80-degree mark. on tuesday, cold front moves in from the north, we have a storm off shore. it's going to bring some clouds, maybe a couple of scattered showers tuesday afternoon. not everyone sees the showers. same deal on wednesday. this fronts kind of lingers around, the storm off shore, an easterly wind flow, some clouds maybe a couple showers also on wednesday. both days will not abwashout. and i'll show you this on our future weather model. nothing happening overnight. here's 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning a-good morning commute, a mix of sun and clouds, same deal into the afternoon and maybe those clouds try to thick thick den up a bit. tuesday some sunshine, showers

try to black out during the afternoon spots in some spots across the region. same story on wednesday. wednesday afternoon things could refire through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow morning again 50 to low 60's so a comfortable start to the work week into the afternoon upper 70's to around 80 degrees. and then on tuesday, slightly cooler, lower 70's near the shore. inland spots still pretty mild for this time of year in the middle 70's. it will be mild overnight, partly cloudy, low for center city, 62 degrees. many suburbs will be in the 50's once again. another warm day on monday. partly sunny with a high near 80 degrees. remember, our average high is 73 for this time of year. here's the extended forecast. more clouds around on tuesday, could be a couple of showers in the afternoon. kind of a repeat on wednesday. tuesday's high still warm at 78. then we drop back closer to average, mid 70's for wednesday, thursday and friday. and then on next saturday i think we see a better chance for some widespread showers as another front moves through looks like next sunday we're talking about temperatures in the upper 60's. so there's some fall

temperatures. >> i knew they were coming. >> next weekend. >> thank you very much justin. beasley reece i think there's a game going on. >> there's a game going down. eagles took a 21-13 lead into the half without scoring a single offensive points. darren sproles took a punt 82 yards to the house. right now in the third, the eagles fumble setting up a easy 49ers touchdown to make it 21 to 20. other nfl action tampa looking for their first win of the season at pittsburgh. bucks inside the steelers 10-yard line. the game winning score. bucs beat pittsburgh 27-24. the phillies closing out their season with a series against the braves. cole hamels got the start today. he had a rough first inning. he was greeted way lead off home run to give the braves a one-zero advantage. later in the inning freddie freeman with the braves third

hit of the inning drives in phil gosselin, it's two-nothing. cole would settle down, though. he went eight innings striking out seven in his final start of the season. but the phillies bats were cold. just one run on six hits and the braves sent the fightans two to one -- beat them two to one. they finish the season at 73-89. second straight losing season. they finish in the basement since the first time in the year 2000. >> last place. first time i've done it. i tell you that much. not a place anyone wants to be but place where we ended up. pretty much all you can say about it. >> things are going to be different and who, we tone don't know that and can't even try to answer that question but they'll find a way. they've been pretty good at that in the past when it's been needed and we've had a little lull but they'll find a way. >> down in the nation's
