reaching implications, the plan that will have police responding to all lot fewer 911 calls and the city hall says it's a good thing. >> we are live at the 911 center with that story. this story began some months ago with a big surge in overtime, a major sign of inefficiency the department says that it's taking care of now. >> my daughter doesn't want to school that type of stuff. >> police said you wouldn't believe the kind of calls that they send armed uniformed officers racing to as a matter of policy. superintendent gary mccarthy let this cat out of the back during council hearings last spring asking about an outdated policy that has police responding to 70 percent of 911 calls, is that more than double a big city average.a stacked morea

big city average.stat more than double the big city average. so what this does is to fold, first of its budget friendly, in fact it was in council hearings today on the new city budget but the latest details emerged overtime at the 911 center swelled after a spike in emergency calls which is where it became clear to the city that something had to be done this solution will be a call diversion plan that sense cops out only on the most serious kinetic calls in game changer in the department's fight against crime serious crime where they feel officers can make the most impact. responses that to require immediate police service we're still going to respond.

their last head-to-head meeting before the election, the last one was a fiery one. >> today's debate moderated here at channel 11 i say overall the debate was actually fairly cordial but these candidates definitely have some serious differences, arguing over medicare taxes, middle east policy it has had plenty of national attention congressman walsh backs the t party and of course tami duckworth is a wounded veteran of the war and iraq. and i iraq. >>in iraq. >> that is not an accurate statement and you can keep

repeating it but that does not make it true. >> the illinois a general cited her nine times for noncompliance of law. i am pro-life without exception but understand when we talk about rape and incest are exceptions and they are violent horrific acts. >> i am pro-choice without restriction and here is the thing mr. walsh said not for rape or incest he said he would let a woman died rather than give the doctor the option to save her life. >> the candidates continuing their attacks in a brief news conference after tonight's debate each candida's spoke to reporters for 10 minutes addressing their positions on medicare and again on abortion. this is an issue that opponents of life flowed out there to make us look unreasonable, there is

no such exception as life of the mother and as far as health of the mother, same thing. with advanced science and technology the health of the mother has become a tool for abortions any time under any reason, pro-life against tami duck worth who supports taxpayer funding of abortion. >> i thought again people saw the differences between us, mr. walsh many times had to be asked to provide specifics and he did not, i did i illustrated quite a few numbers of potential cuts that we have to go through he called for the cutting of medicare in order to save it which is not something the people in the district wants. we've been looking at the polls tonight, each candidate could say they are in the league depending on which one you look at its going to be a tight race.

commander kevin ryan was investigated organized crime for decades says that gang affiliations not gangster rap is behind little jo jo's shooting. is it life imitating art or is it art imitating life? the head of cease-fire a group that mediates urban conflict agrees with police. >> they were thinking it was all for show and tell. the sensationalizing of violence, drugs and gangs appear to go hand in hand these days even the most famous rapper's cannot agree on the line between lyrics and life. >> its entertainment first in

>> it's hysterical, it's heartwarming, it pretty much encompasses every emotion that you can imagine and that's what i love about it. >> i was well in the clear and trying not to think about it after i got early detection. i really like the idea of being able to do something active, with people who have at least experienced part of the same journeys that i have. once we are on the water, you never hear the word breast cancer. the youngest is below 30, i am the oldest at 67 and we all bring a type of story to the team, there

is something that draws us to be here to be together, stay strong that i hadn't found anywhere else. even if we are past it and through the treatment there is always that sense of what will it come again? but when you are on the water you just don't think about that. it's truly been a gift. >> try it, just try it. we will make sure that you have the best possible experience. >> also we invite you to join us one week from tonight where we will be doing a stories of hope special on october 25th at 9:30 p.m. >> it will be colbert and even reindeer.thecolbert and evencolder

[ male announcer ] this is steve. he loves risk. but whether he's climbing everest scuba diving the great barrier reef with sharks or jumping into the market, he goes with people he trusts which

is why he trades with a company that doesn't nickel and dime him with hidden fees. so he can worry about other things, like what the market is doing and being ready, no matter what happens, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense, from td ameritrade.

for 80 years now. taking any look at the next seven days. >> look at that, that is quite a storm, you can see the rotation so clearly spelled out. a humongous storm is producing high winds out in the plains states and a big thunderstorm to the east, here is what our model is showing us is going to happen. this big thing is swirling all around us, every now and then we will get under one of these and in some of these i have some ice pellets or hail but the amounts will not be all that large in and these are pretty small amounts. fifties'

tomorrow, thirties' tomorrow night and look at this out here in the plains. it shows that we go from 50 tomorrow 0-59 on saturday maybe 60 then 71 sunday and a whole group of seven days after that. we have some really unseasonably warm weather coming. you guys did a lot of work on the winter forecast as it looks from this moment on. about one year ago in a private agency came out with a blockbuster winter forecast the whole community talked about it it was clear it wouldn't work out from october forward. we don't want to frighten anybody a long-range forecast is not precise but the big story tonight with the official release is that the el nino is

not developing the way it normally does. its failure to develop as it's expected to means we will probably have a colder winter we looked at 21 winters for chicago in house 53 percent of those 21 winters ended up colder than normal but 67 percent a pretty respectable number worse now we'reworkingwere snowier. we will not hold you to it but it is a

little peek. >> coming up, it's turned out that the only thing that can slow down the tigers is last night's rain delay. they sweep their way to the world series. a big hit after a very short meeting between players and owners today with the nfl.

>> it has been a rocky road for detroit so far this year. it put the lions three games behind the bears. the lions come into soldier field with a sense of urgency, their overtime win against the eagles on sunday put them at 2:00 a.m. to 3 but the lions are still very dangerous. they're good, they get out to the quarterback and they guided me outside. whenever you step up

and they're getting a push in there and there's not a lot of resolve. >> you have to compete every play as well as you can make sure we know where our help is up front and protection. it's pretty cool i look at it as an honor so i definitely lost some attention. i would like some of the attention when you have that spot light on your you have to show up, you have to perform and it definitely makes it harder but i enjoy it. mark grace resigned a few years ago.

the yankees are first in 32 years to play in the world series. the cardinals are leading the giants' big. they lead that series three games-1. they are making this series of the wild card for the second year in the row. labor disputes fizzled it was a 5050 proposal

fires they said it would cost them $1.6 billion in six years so the nhl lockout remains in place. despite what we did on tuesday, we were done in one hour today because there was really nothing there. when somebody takes a hard stand like the owners have taken you have to assume they need it and you go from there it doesn't mean you make an agreement which is not in the interest or consistent with the desires of the players. >> getting tents in the nwa finals. a player was fouled she loses if for a while she took off for blazer she had to be restrained by her fellow coaching staff but the good news is for her they were down and they went on to win the game.
