we'll bring you the details throughout the 5 and 6. back to you. >> here we are at the live desk with the latest from washington on that shutdown. you watched the president address the country on day eight of the shutdown. congressional leaders seem to be shifting their focus to the next crisis. that's the debt ceiling. the president said congress needs to act without conditions or negotiations. >> i am happy to talk with him and other republicans about anything, not just issues i think are important but issues that they think are important but i also told them that having such a conversation, talks, negotiations shouldn't require hanging the threats of a government shutdown or economic chaos over the heads of the american people. >> i'm in the drawing any lines in the sand. it's time for us to sit down and resolve our differences. >> unless congress votes to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will reach

its borrowing in less than 10 days. october 17th is that deadline. the president indicated he support has short-term bill while holding broader talks on the deficit and healthcare. >> despite shutdown, an immigration reform rally went on. demonstrators were there to demand that congress pass immigration refoamplet the house was expected to take up the issue next month. >> you know, a week after maryland opened up enrollment in the new health insurance marketplace, it has been slow to deliver in practice. jeff hager joins us with more on the state's effort to reach out to those who can -- who can benefit the most. >> reporter: it's been difficult to deliver. >> i'm going all over the state of maryland. >> reporter: what better place

than a library. on this day, they're carrying a load of information on how the affordable care act can work for marylanders. >> correcting -- >> reporter: in the first week alone, maryland's website has drawn more than 170,000 visitors. more than 13,000 have set up accounts. there's a mixed reaction over its implementation. >> it looks like it meet be complicated. i probably would like to see it delayed just a little bit so they can work out some of the glitches. >> i idea stand there's some dplichs, but when this gets rolling, it's going to be one of the best things that happened to the country. >> reporter: whilehere are

doesy new pamphlets, some say it's dawpting at best. >> from what if a been told some of the forms are more complicated than filling out your tax forms. >> reporter: even helping them naff date. >> we have some sense of the rates on paper but we don't know what each person will qualify for. >> reporter: still, with patience and persistence they are hopeful they will choose what's best for them and that it will pay off in the long run. >> it shows republicans this is dead wrong. this will not hurt people. this will be a tremendous advantage for millions of people. >> reporter: while they have a six-month window to sign up, most policies could brain providing coverage by the first of the career, so they're

encouraged to begin working through that process right now. jeff hager, abc2 news. a local woman is safe after escaping from a man she called her pimp for two years. >> let's go to abc2 news katrina bush. she found two human trafficking cases in a couple days. >> reporter: the fact these two women were able to call police one day after the other is a coincidence. take a look at the man police said forced the first victim into prostitution two years ago, craig anderson. he is in jail facing a number of charges including human trafficking, prostitution and assault. the woman he forced into prostitution managed to get to a sykesville police station to get help and a second woman called police from a gas station. it's something that may come as a shock to us but howard county police have been keeping an eye

out for this type of crime. >> recognizing that stocious cases that at first appear to be simply prostitution, may, in fact, be a broader issue of human trafficking. while we know this happens regionally and nationally, we're glad in both cases the women ended up in howard county to ask for help. >> officers are trained to look out for this kind of crime. katrina bush, abc2 news. well, we saw wind and heavy rain but we were spared the bankrupt of the storm yesterday. our neighbors in d.c. not so lucky. toppled trees and they're still trying to clear away some of the branches tonight. >> here in baltimore we had a great fall day. what happened here. wet weather gone maybe later in the week. chief meteorologist wyatt everhart is here to tell us. >> who turned the heater off.

we're back in the fall pattern in terms of temperatures. it looks like things will stay cool because of cloud cover and even some rain later in the week. temperatures in the mid-60s to upper 60s. no 70s on the map, no 80s. humidity noise and comfortably low. go out and do whatever your plans are. it will be great under some clouds. however, that begins to change by this time tomorrow night certainly into thursday as we get our coastal low developing. remnants of karen and this thing is cut off. it's going to be is very to move away from maryland but it will move in as we go toward the end of the week. a few clouds, a brisk start in the morning. we'll talk about when the rain from coastal system will arrive. the next time you drive in randallstown you will be able to

make a right. he spent 12 years in baltimore. now he's got a street named after him. he said none of it would have happened without his parents. >> anything that has given me -- that was given me is theirs. >> he spent his entire career and never left. >> nice to see he's still here to enjoy it. >> he is the most humble man you'd ever want to meet. >> we will show you a school that's sending home "fat" letters. >> are the letters doing more harm than good. >> can't get a colicky baby to start crying? yes dpurt may be the answer. >> find out how you can help women fight breast cancer.

severe weather sparked fires in new jersey. big trees were taken down. the flames quickly went away once the power was shut off. winds in some areas of new jersey clocked at nearly 60 miles an hour. take a look at this video of the typhoon striking in japan. you're looking at winds 120 miles an hour. the storm is weakening. lap. all right. weather wise, you can see the clouds rolling in from our coastal system, which is developing across the carolinas. some cloud cover edging into our state. we're staying dry.

the sweeps all year. some coastal flood concerns along the atlantic side of maryland along new jersey, and mt. airy had plu skies. at times the same thing on kent island. right now at bwi 64 degrees. through the day tomorrow another very cool day. i think somewhat cloudier for the whole state. there will be sun early in the morning and the possibility of a shower. rain chances not justomorrow but the next several days will be higher from the bay eastward. better chances for rain there than there will be in carroll county toward westminster. temperature wise statewide pretty uniform, low 60s, feeling more fall like on a

northeasterly breeze. that's keeping things cool tonight. we don't see a lot of change locally tomorrow, only into the upper 60s and that's going to be the case again into the day tomorrow. cloud cover will be a factor, no question about that. i think we stay rain free. as we look at the coast beginning to edge into north carolina we're dry tomorrow and then as we go beyond that, that system slowly inching its way off the coast. this computer model keeps the rain toward ocean city and salisbury. perhaps this will shift another 40, 50 miles and end up with rain in annapolis and baltimore. it will be a slow moving system. we'll be dealing with this coastal for days to come. it's cut off from the jet stream. it's a slow moving circulation. there's some energy and moisture left from karen. it's a storm system and a slow mover coming our way. that's the bottom line with the

front playing a small factor with dry air not having much of an impact other to say it will prevent rain by tomorrow night and thursday we could mosten up enough. look at the cool hair wedging into all of the northeast, so this is looking more and more fall like temperature wise. a broughter perspective. beyond that into your day on wednesday, you see all of the areas basically from charlotte north all the way into main into the 60s. we'll be running cool, no question about that. tonight down to 48, cool locally, brisk. tomorrow 65, variably cloudy as we will stay cool. we look at the next several days. you seat numbers in the low mid-60s. chances for rain go up wednesday night. they'll make during the day thursday. with the coastal low east of maryland, chances of showers will be there friday and saturday. right now we dry things out for

the big green bay packers game on sunday. back to you. we are thinking pink and race for the cure. we're getting ready for the annual komen maryland race for the cure. tell us how important is registration at this point? >> right now we're coming down to the wire. we have 10 days before the race. we're looking forward to people registering online and on saturday the 12th, we have walkup registration. >> komen maryland does so much for the city. >> our race participation correlates with our ability to provide funds. so if we don't have a high registration for the race, then

we're not able to fund hour grants to give back into the community. so we're already having a significant difference on the number of grants last year. we need to get those numbers up. we need everyone to get out and register. >> if you look at the video, being there, the momentum, you are giving back. >> there's a lot of competition but there's not any event to really celebrate life. that's the unique thing about the race for the cure. these are celebration events about survivorship, about life, about life after diagnosis and treatment and you don't get that in any other kind of an event. that's the comradery, the experience shared journey is what people are celebrating. you do. you pick that up.

you feel it and go with it. it's a feel good kind of day. >> i know it's a huge fund-raiser but a great portion of it stays. >> yes. thanks for talking about that. yes, 75% of the money that we raise in maryland remains in the local programs that we fund in maryland but actually in maryland we can say that 100% of the money we raise. the 25% that stunneds national research -- funds national research comes back to large institutions with the university of maryland and johns hopkins. so everything that's earned here comes back into this community one way or another. >> we're talking about one in eight in terms of women affected by it. this is something that affects everybody. >> it's rarely that i go into a group and when i'm talking in public arenas and where people -- not everyone there who knows someone. everyone is touched.

they have a colleague, a family, a friend, a sibling. it really does reach everyone. that speaks to survivorship. survivorship has grown so much and people now know people who have breast cancer. >> and a lot of money goes to research in terms of survivorship, helping people live longer. >> the treatments are better, the earlier diagnosis, so -- >> so you can get in on the bandwagon. >> it's never too late. you cran do walk up registration for a week in advance. you can do walkup the morning of the race and you can start early in the year and register for next year. it's never too early or never too late. there's always a race you can register for. right now we're plugging the m. hunt valley race north cure. we hope everyone gets out there and gets our registration to $25,000 or more. >> we'll have more and we'll be

a school send as letter home labeling an 11-year-old girl overweight. now the mom is fighting back. the so-called fat letter was sent home to lily's parent. she's on the volleyball team. she's active and eat healthy

foods. >> this whole thing is stupid. it can hurt people. it can break their courage. >> to give a kid a letter telling them that the rest of their life they may be overweight or may be obese because of a measurement you took one day is just not fair. >> well, the letter is the result of a body mass index screening. eating disorder experts say the screenings do more harm than good and the bmi is not always accurate when it comes to judging a person's health. we want to know what your take is on this hot topic. is bmi testing going too famplet log abc2news.com/facebook. >> when you log on to facebook, take a look at all the photos you've posted. how many are your kids?

a good question parents struggle with, to post or not to post. there are some concerns about safety and the privacy of your children. experts say it's up to each family to make the decision. if you decide to share, make sure you check all your privacy settings. facebook isn't a technology problem for one. >> the email one fra tern minutes sent. >> and how another group ended up in trouble over the american flag.

we have breaking news out of parkton. there's a water main break on putty hill. >> reporter: we are in the 2300 block of putty hill.

it has calmed down. that water has started to recede. i want to show you the video we got around 4:00. preston mitchum was here as the water was shooting from the ground and it nearly reached the tree top. certainly, the water started to collect between pairing parkway and old harford road for about 30 minutes. we have started to see it calm down. you know it's a water main break. what else do you know? >> it as a 24-inch main made out of cast iron. fortunate thing nobody should be out of service. people should be getting brown wart. you can take care of that relatively easily. take your aerator off and it should clear. if it doesn't, then residents

call 410-396-5952. we have city public work cruise. we have baltimore county police. so we're working together on this. it seems there's a storm drain there and that's running rather heavily because of the recent rain, so we will have to do some blockading. hopefully no homes or businesses will being affected. >> we're not seeing the water. >> not literally capped off. the valves just like you turn the nozzles on your faucet. >> as we go throughout the night, crews will be out here. >> i can't say. we have to dig down. we get a petter feel to see if there's any other thing if there are utilities smaller lines. if it's a great shot then we can di
