if you're doing everything right but find it harder and harder while our people work longer hours for lower wages, almost all new income goes to the top 1%. my plan -- make wall street banks and the ultrarich pay their fair share of taxes, provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message because together, we can make a political revolution and create an economy and democracy that works for all

karen: the annual mission to save stranded sea turtles is underway on the cape. mass audobon volunteers rescue turtles that wash up after they get stuck in the bay on their way south for the winter.

spotted in wellfleet. many were kemp's ridley, the most endangered sea turtle in the world. they'll be cared for at the new england aquarium's sea turtle hospital in quincy. frank: in the u.k. roads are closed and homes are being evacuated over flooding concerns. storm desmond is bringing strong winds and heavy, persistent rain across northern england and parts of southern scotland. about eight inches of rain was forecast for the region of cumbria. experts say there's even potential for landslides. now we're joined by danielle vollmar with a look at our forecast. chilly start today but chillier in other parts of the country. danielle: while we were dealing with the 50-degree temperatures, parts of seattle saw some snow. i want to show you this. this is great video. a snow storm made roads treacherous and even led to a highway closure. in all, about 15 to 25 inches of snow was dumped on part of the north cascades. and that's not all. that system also brought strong

hey, no snow so far this year for us. in fact, as of today, we should be seeing about 2.2 inches. last year in boston we had about 2.6 inches of snow. in worcester, 7.5 inches snow. there really is no snow in this seven-day forecast. so we're going to have to wait just a touch longer. this morning we are waking up to some patchy, dense fog as well as some patchy black ice. you want to be careful out there on the roads as temperatures have dropped well below freezing in spots. that's leading to some slick spots out there. now the warm trend continues for today. and even into tomorrow. and then we're watching an ocean storm for tuesday. the latest models shifting it farther off shore which means not everyone is going to benefit from some much-needed rain. i want to show you these visibilities though. you can see we're going to have problems down around chatham to falmouth now where you're seeing zero-mile visibility there and then up towards parts of orange where you see visibles down

you folks in beverly. so be aware of that. if you're headed out first thing. and then you have to also talk about some black ice because where temperatures are below the freezing mark in lawrence and beverly and even orange where you're seeing that fog, you could be having some patchy black ice out there this morning. the other thing to talk about is just how cool it is this morning but we are going to warm up very quickly. so highs today going to climb into the low to mid 50's. a few upper 50's on the map, i think, especially the south shore, the cape and the islands. i don't think we're necessarily going to get to 60 but we could be pretty close in some spots. we'll see a lot of sunshine those winds will be out of the south and west at about 5-10 so if you are headed out, the patriots game today, they're taking on the eagles at gillette stadium at 4:25, 60 degrees by kick-off but those numbers will be dropping into the 40's as that sun sets. it will be set at game time tonight. as for the low temperatures tonight we drop back into the 20's and 30's in most spots.

cape and the islands holding in the 40's overnight with clear skies. and then tomorrow we do it all over again. it's another mild day. we'll have temperatures in the low to mid 50's and a lot of sunshine but notice that wind does shift from the west to the north and west. notice pittsfield only tops out at 45 degrees. that's because this cold front on its way in as well as this area of low pressure we're going to watch. now high pressure for us is dominating our weather this weekend. that's why we are dry both sunday and monday. but once we get to tuesday i do put a medium chance of some rain coming through. i'm going to show you that on the future cast. so as we go towards monday we are still mild. here comes this back-dpoor kind of cold front coming on in and then we watch this area of low pressure but notice the track is taking it farther off shore. so i do think if anyone is going to see any rain from this one, it's really going to be the cape and the islands. however, we're going to have to watch that track really carefully because as of right now even though it's farther off shore, we have to watch the

if it does, that could get more of us involve ed with some rain. if it starts early enough even with mixed precipitation to start because temperatures will be below the freezing mark on tuesday in the morning hours. we stay cool in the 40's through wednesday and then warm back up in the 50's by the end of the week. frank and karen. frank: thanks a lot, danielle. time now is 5:15. a look at the stories we're following right now. karen: the governor of virginia is criticizing a christian university president who urged students to arm themselves. jerry falwell, jr., made the comments during the christian school's weekly convocation. he said that if more people had concealed carry permits they could, quote, "end those muslims before they walk in and kill." falwell later said he was not talking about all muslims. the governor called the statement repugnant. frank: tonight the band performing when terrorists attacked a concert hall in paris will return to that city. the eagles of death metal will perform with u-2 who was also

that weekend. the groups will play at a different venue than the bataclan where 90 people died. u-2 and the eagles of death metal will also perform together tomorrow. there's pride in haverhill over this new nativity scene outside sacred heart's church. a more secure creche was built after a case of vandalism last year. members of the parish gathered after mass yesterday for a special blessing. the hand-built wooden creche features figurines shipped from italy. frank: if you're looking to spread some cheer this holiday season, there's still time to participate in the trees for troops campaign. for $30, mahoney's garden center will send a balsam fir to a military family with a special thank you note. mahoney's wants to send more than 2,000 trees this winter. as of last week they'd accomplished about half of that goal. those trees will go to families at some 65 bases around the world. she's spent years helping others. now there's a plea for someone

karen: a gold star mom from new hampshire needs a kidney, and newscenter 5's phil lipof reports time is running out. reporter: joann clark has no problem asking people to help new hampshire's struggling veterans but now she needs help and that's a different story. >> i've been way too independent all my life. it's hard for me. reporter: a diabetic most of her life joann has stage 5 chronic kidney disease. she needs a new kidney from someone with type 0 blood and matching tissue. on a waiting list for a transplarcht and that could take 4-6 years. >> scary every minute of the day i'm scared for her. >> he is. he's a worrywart. reporter: it's been a difficult her organization. last christmas she cofounded vets. it raises awareness about post traumatic stress disorder and helps veterans find pets by acing paying some of the adoption fees. >> it's heartwarming and very rewarding for me. to see that i'm helping to make

vollmar. well, we are talking about some patchy fog this morning and some black ice to contend with. the warm trend is going to continue through the day today as well as for tomorrow.

on tuesday. the latest models though taking it farther off shore which would mean it will impact less people. right now this morning, starting off at 37 in boston and in worcester but below the freezing mark in nashua and plymouth. and these are some areas also seeing some fog this morning and potentially some black ice. so please be careful out there driving at least through about 9:00 today before all that fog does subside. then we're going to see a lot of sunshine and temperatures really bump up into the 50's, mid to even upper 50's may push near 60 degrees in some spots as high dry. then we watch a cold front come through on monday. and by tuesday that brings in cold air just in time as this area of low pressure gets closer to us. the idea is it will get close but it may only brush nantucket and the cape bringing them some showers and depending on how early it starts, if it starts in

either way you look at it, we're cold through midweek and warm right back up for next weekend. karen and frank. karen: we love this story. christmas is coming early for a bartender in ohio. frank: a simple conversation with a customer landed her a generous gift. it started with amanda konecny's first customer of the day. in a bar full of regulars, she'd never seen this guy before. he sat down, ordered a beer, and made casual conversation before leaving a $300 dollar tip on a $32 meal. >> he said his son was thinking about working here. he was asking about our tipping system worked. i let him know how it works not thinking anything of it at this time. christmas lights and how my daughter is obsess ed with frank: the note said, "thank you may your daughter have a merry christmas." konecny says she's extremely grateful. i'll bet she is. a $300 tip on a $30 meal. karen: her daughter is so cute.

never made a $300 tip. a lot of work. still to come this morning, several presidential hopefuls visited the granite state yesterday karen: many reacting to the recent attacks in california ahead hear how democrat bernie sanders plans to crack down on terrorists. frank: a framingham mother spent more than a year battling cancer, before it took her life. the impact she hoped to have through sharing her story. a live look outside this morning. still dark and early. only 29 degrees. stay with us. the "eyeopener" continues right after this break. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine. bill fine: "just another day in america." that is how the bbc opened their coverage of the san bernadino mass shooting. that may sound callously flippant, but it's also true. as the global leader in a disturbing category, the number of mass shootings in america exceeds calendar days this year. the world was galvanized in anger and resolve after terrorists shot 130 people in paris.

america. the simple phrase, "enough is enough," seems as well-worn as the expressions of sympathy and prayers for the many victims. if virtually any other product was killing 30,000 americans a year, there would be a call to action, congressional hearings, and legislation designed to reduce that staggering total. there is no other civilized nation with the same epidemic. to be clear-- we are not advocating for confiscating guns, which is a red herring used to stymie common-sense reforms. the truth is, this is no longer just a political, cultural, or second amendment issue. this is a major public safety problem. congress can enact simple safeguards, designed to take no one's freedoms away, but will almost certainly save innocent lives. enacting mandatory background checks, a 48-hour waiting period, and closing the gun show

many measures which, at long last, need a sense of urgency to pass. and no political leader can justify the current loophole allowing those residing on our own terror watch list to legally purchase a gun. buying sudafed is more difficult than acquiring an assault rifle at a gun show. these few recommendations, among many that should be considered, are not safeguards pushed by gun haters. universal background checks are supported by nearly 90% of americans and 75% of the n.r.a..'s own membership. will these safeguards stop all mass killings? no. but if they save one life-- and it was your loved one-- it's

jeb bush: here's the truth you will not hear from our president: we are at war with radical islamic terrorism. r it is the struggle that will determine t the fate of the free world. r the united states should not delay t in leading a global coalition r to take out isis with overwhelming force. ttheir aim is our total destruction. p we can't withdraw from this threat or negotiate with it. we have but one choice: to defeat it. vo: right to rise usa is responsible for the content of

that's tulty dense fog that we're talking about. but it's not only the dense fog that we have out there, say, in keene as well as in orange, down along the cape. we're also dealing with cold temperatures below the freezing mark. that is creating some black ice out there this morning. so please be careful if you're traveling earlier today. you can see where we're concerned with the black ice is back through jaffrey to nashua to lawrence down along the south shore near taunton and hyannis. you notice i'm picking out degrees. but as we go through the next 12 hours, here's what's going to happen, say, along the south coast as well as the cape and the islands. you're going to see temperatures bump up today into the mid 50's, i think, for highs, lower 50s though by about lunchtime. so it is a warm day on tap across all the area. we're talking 51 to about 58 degrees with winds out of the south and west at about 5-10. but there are big changes coming.

see much-needed rain and the cooldown in store for midweek. frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. here's a look at the stories we're tracking right now. a man has critical injuries after a shooting in south boston. it happened around 8:00 last night on old colony avenue. police are still investigating. so far no word on any arrests. karen: a stabbing in london is being treated as a terrorist incident. the man in this video was subdued by police with a stun gun after they say he stabbed three people at a subway station in east london. the suspect reportedly yelled "this is for syria" before the attack. one man was seriously hurt but is expected to recover. two others have minor injuries. frank: president obama will deliver a rare speech from the oval office tonight. in the wake of the san bernardino shootings, the president will address what the government is doing to keep americans safe. he'll also touch on other possible terror threats, counter-offensive strategies, and the need to put pressure on

speech tonight at 8:00 right here on newscenter 5. terrorism in europe and at home is renewing the call for tougher gun control laws in this country. "the new york times" recently used its first front-page editorial since 1920 to call for stricter regulations. here's the eye's pam cross on what the paper called "weapons of war." james bigelow, gun store owner: they will go bang all the time, every time. pam: gun store owners across the country reporting a surge in gun sales. bill hayes, concealed weapons instructor: people are scared. the situation in california, i think, has reay alerted a lot of people. pam: we've seen it before in the wake of mass shootings after the tuscon rampage in 2011, after the newtown massacre in 2012, and now the demand for guns stronger than ever. on black friday the f.b.i. running a record 185,000 background checks. that's two every second. the same day a gunman opened fire at a colorado planned parenthood.

those guns will be taken away. >> you can no longer own an a.r., you can no longer own a pistol. you can no longer conceal carry. it's one of those-- is it a matter of time? probably. pam: for others like luke garvey in upstate new york, it's all about protection. luke garvey, pistol permit applicant:"i'm doing it for me. my wife, i got my wife one. she's gonna do it for her. pam: his own sheriff now urging permitted gun owners in his county to carry their weapons. sheriff paul van blarcum, ulster county, new york: you wonder what would have happened in that audience or in those crowds if someone would have had a weapon. more guns are the answer. >> our thoughts on guns is, it's not a good idea, to me. divided. a recent abc poll asked which is a higher priority? 46% said new gun control laws while 47% said protecting the right to own guns. i'm pam cross, wcvb, newscenter 5. karen: in commitment 2016, democratic presidential

making a push for gun reform. the senator spoke at plymouth state university in new hampshire yesterday. while there he talked about expanding background checks, ending the gun show loophole, and banning assault weapons. sanders: vermont, new hampshire and a lot of people hunt. and i support people's rights to hunt. it's about cultural heritage. but people do not go hunting with assault weapons. karen: earlier in the day sanders stopped by keene state college. his speech there focused on the need to destroy isis while protecting american service sanders said the united states should not attempt to take out the terror group on its own. frank: republican presidential hopeful lindsey graham is also considering ways to address terrorism. the south carolina senator spoke at the new hampshire women's initiative forum in manchester yesterday. he took a moment to criticize opponents tedd cruz and rand paul who he says voted to weaken n.s.a. surveillance. he also said he wants to know

the san bernardino shootings. graham: isis recruits more women to their cause than any other terrorist organization so what i want to know is was she radicalized before she met. was this a terrorist-arranged marriage? if so, we need to look at our visa system anew. frank: graham says the best way to curb isis recruitment is by defeating the terror group overseas. karen: investigators are still looking into what sparked this fire in gloucester early saturday morning. the fire on woodman avenue went to three alarms. firefighters think it may have started in the basement of the two-and-a-half story house, which may have been unoccupied. no injuries were reported. right now the city of lynn has ordered the demolition of a home, burned in a deadly fire. the decision coming as the community mourns the four people who couldn't make it out. the cause of that fire is still under investigation. now, the eye's juli mcdonald is learning more about the victims. >> everybody is crying.

neighbors, even strangers are mourning the loss of four people killed in a massive house fire in lynn early friday. as many as 19 people lived in the home at 24 bruce place. wilmer perez was lucky to get out with his seven-year-old daughter and other relatives on the first floor before flames tore through the house causing the roof to partially collapse. wilmer perez: i never seen this. four people die from a fire. i'm so sorry for the family. juli: sisters sonie and marisa cruz were killed in the fire along with marisa's daughter yasmin aquino and nephew rudolfo mercedes. all were active members of the seventh day adventist church in lynn. a family friend became emotional remembering the victims for newscenter 5. >> helping others in the church. they always participated. they used to go to the classes downstairs for the kids.

they were so nice. juli: the pastor of the church said the youngest victim, yasmin, was 19 years old. a former classmate said she just saw her at the house days ago. >> she was the only one i talked to. she was happy and smiling and stuff. i'm getting chills just talking about it. she was a real sweet girl. juli: right now that church on breed street is in the process of setting up a "go fund me" account for the surviving family members. the rest of their relatives live back in the dominican republic in puerto rico. so after funerals here, they plan to send those bodies home to be buried. in lynn, julie mcdonald, wcvb, newscenter 5. frank: it's gameday at gillette. the patriots have seven questionable players coming in to this afternoon's matchup against the eagles. you might think that's the perfect way for bill belichick to hide his cards from philly. both danny amendola and dont'a hightower were spotted at practice this week, and jamie collins said he's ready to go. still, belichick says the injury

be rushed. coach: the whole week is kind of a process. i think you've got to be careful about evaluating a player based on one day or one period or a couple plays or that kind of thing. so we go by what we see. whether it's wednesday, thursday or friday or even occasionally the saturday changes are all just reflective of what the player's current condition is. frank: tight-lipped as always. kickoff is at 4:25 this afternoon at gillette stadium. still to come this morning, a controversial video sparking protests in chicago. karen: the mayor's latest remarks regarding the investigation into this shooting and why residents are outraged >> we put ourselves the very last. frank: this framingham mother wanted to change that. her message for other young moms

brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. p as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta.

welcome back. a young framingham mother spent more than a year battling breast cancer, often with humor and brutal honesty. karen: sadly, she lost her fight this week. but not before sharing her message for other young moms. frank: the eye's emily riemer has the advice alexa hopes everyone can live by. alexa: young mother, right? so, we put ourselves the very last. you always do. emily: this mom of two young about the lump in her breast. alexa hu was still nursing her youngest and chalked it up to a clogged milk duct, but it didn't go away; and in august of 2014, she received the frightening news. alexa: she said, "well, you know, i see a solid mass." that was the first time i thought, "okay, that doesn't sound good." emily: at just 36 years old, alexa had triple negative stage 3 breast cancer. a diagnosis she shared publicly on facebook posting her first chemo selfie writing, "i'm showing off the i.v. in my hand as the chemo infuses in my body

alexa: i wanted to be, you know, honest and say this is real-time. this is what's really happening to me. i think that was important, just to say it can happen. emily: that post, the first of many alexa would write, sharing her battle with the disease, updating friends on how treatment was going, sharing a new haircut when hers started to fall out. and just a few months ago revealing the cancer had spread to her brain, writing, "we were supposed to be done." she had surgery in october, but her prognosis was not good. so last month a trip to italy, something she had dreamed of doing with her girls to tell them the truth. >> in this case cancer is going to win. mommy is going to die. that's the hardest part for me because when it affects them,

emily: alexa wants her story to be a reminder to other young moms to take care of themselves alexa: be present in the moment. because they have a strawberry, you know, and appreciate that, you know. and be happy about that. emily: there is a fund set up in alexa's name through the jimmy fund, and the money raised will support her doctor as she works to find new treatments for this kind of cancer. we do have that information posted on our website. emily reimer, wcvb, newscenter 5. >> now your storm team 5 forecast with meterologist danielle vollmar. danielle: it has been on the mild side this weekend. that's going to continue right into today as temperatures warm up into the upper 50's, mid 50's for tomorrow and then cooling back to 44 degrees by tuesday. that cooler air is going to infiltrate by midweek. yesterday's high was 53. you notice we're well above where we should be for the month of december. we're going to continue that trend, although this morning, we're starting out on the chilly side.

in the 20's in keene, in orange, in lawrence, in plymouth and on the cape as well. and there is some concern for some patchy black ice and also for some patchy, dense fog. until about 9:00 or so this morning. so please be careful if you're headed out first thing. i do want to talk about that fog because you can see where visibilities are down to about zero miles in keene or one mile in orange down along the cape. they're down to about zero miles visibility in beverly. this would be my concern for some patchy, dense fog and also some patchy black ice where the temperatures are below the freezing mark. once we burn that off, temperatures will warm up nicely back into the mid 50's and a few even upper 50's maybe out there. near 60 degrees. thanks to a southwest wind at about 5-10. and lots of sunshine. so if you are headed out, the patriots game, they're taking on degrees. the sun will have already set by then.

the 40's by the end of the game. be aware of that and i would definitely bundle up because it will be chilly later on this evening. tonight's overnight lows dropping into the 20's and 30's depending on where you live. and a few 40's on the map on the cape and islands. then tomorrow we do it all over again. we're in the mid 50's. a lot of sunshine but notice that wind turns from the west to the north and west as a cold front trickles on through. that's why out in western mass, it's going to be harder to warm up. pittsfield will only see a high of 45. it's all due to this cold front that you see up through parts of canada. then we're going to watch this area of low pressure that is going to redevelop over the atlantic ocean. high pressure though in control of our weather keeping us dry sunday and monday. and that area of low pressure could bring some rain on tuesday for parts of the area. we could use the rain down over 9.5 inches for the year in boston. and down closer to nine inches now for the year in worcester. so what happens here on the future cast, we're dry again on

here comes that cold front pulling down the temperatures and then that area of low pressure getting close but it looks like the latest model trend is to push it farther away which would mean less of us would get involved with that rain. what i'm talking about the rain it's not all that much any it's only to graze us but it's mainly confined to the cape and the islands right now. however, if that track waivers just a touch and it comes closer towards us, more of us could get involved. either way you look at it, it will still be cloudy for pretty much everybody. temperatures will only be in the 40's so it's a cool start. depending on when those showers start, if they start early enough in the morning, there could even be mixed precipitation at the start. it will turn over to just plain old rain though for the cape and islands because temperatures do warm into the mid 40's. and then another warm-up happens by next weekend so december looks like it's going to be a warm month. frank and karen. more top stories we're following frank: chicago mayor rahm
