reporter: the director lorraine bartlett says the agency continues to battle the need for more resources. >> we need the financial support to do that, we also need the staff resources. if that was something that the department was going to explore with the support of this committee or other committees, obviously we need to look for what the appropriation would be to be able to support staff working after hours. reporter: bartlett says she's optimistic that the dialogue between the commission and dcyf will be beneficial in the long run. >> these particular commissions are going to be helpful in identifying where there might be potential resources and opportunities for us to look at how we can improve the work we do. and make things better for children and families. reporter: the commission will meet again at the end of the month and is expected to submit a report on its findings and recommendations for proposed legislation by november 1. suzanne roantree, wmur news 9. josh: commitment 2016 now. the new hampshire primary once again under attack.

this time coming from a retiring senate majority leader harry reid. in an interview over the weekend with the "washington post" the democrat said he's always been upset with new hampshire and iowa's early places in the presidential selection process but was particularly critical of new hampshire's population makeup. >> you go to new hampshire, there are not any you minorities there, nobody lives there. and i don't mean to deny great new hampshire or iowa, but they shouldn't be the ones choosing who will be president. josh: those comments prompted an immediate response from both new hampshire senators, shaheen and ayotte who said that reid doesn't know what he's talking about. governor hassan is now demanding an apology. so did reid apologize? you can be the jf his sincerity, coming up at 6:00. and the democratic candidates getting ready right to you for their first debate of the 2016 campaign with far fewer candidates than the crowded

than the republican counterparts. >> rand paul shouldn't be on this stage. >> yes, you did. you wanted it. reporter: and will likely have a more civil atmosphere. >> it will be very different from the republican debate. reporter: that's because attacks between the democrats have been minimal, more on policy, less personal. president obama though did weigh in on the clinton e-mail controversy on cbs's "60 minutes." >> she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly. reporter: that e-mail scandal will likely come up tonight on the debate stage along with gun control and immigration reform. and it is a key moment for the lesser known candidates to try and stand out. vegas. josh: some republicans spent the day in new hampshire. jeb bush chose manchester to roll out his health care plan to replace the affordable care act. he says his plan would give people more control over their health care budget and let plans. >> medicine has changed and it

is constantly changing, and we have to get washington out of the way, stop its micro management so we can have an explosion of dynamic response to the great challenges that we face, to turn them into opportunities not just for our better health but also for economic progress for all of us. i believe, as i hope you do, that lives are saved by bold and courageous innovation. and that we have a moral obligation to make sure washington doesn't get in that way. reporter: jeb bush says people wouldn't be forced to pay for coverage that they don't need, so the individual mandate would be gone. and lindsey graham continued his swing through new hampshire today holding neat and greet events in the southern part of the state. he has a town hall in newport tonight at 6:30. and john kasich held his own town hall in bow this afternoon, and made a few more stops after that and has a town hall in littleton at 7:00. jean: ballots in a derry special election are now being cast by hand after the town ran out of

regular ballots. this has to do with the budget cuts there. the town clerk ordered 2500 ballots saying derry has never had that many votes in a special election. so far 3800 people have shown up to vote, the polls are open until 8:00 tonight. certainly a rough morning for commuters after an accident shut down 93 north at windham this morning. turns out the driver of a box truck fell asleep behind the wheel around 5:00 a.m. his truck hit the guard rail and rolled over, completely blocking the interstate. one other driver then hit the truck. no one was seriously hurt. let's turn to the traffic watch, see if there are any obstacles for the ride home. live pictures from 293 in manchester, not bad in this spot. josh: peggy james joins us with a look at the evening commute. >> hi josh and gene. definitely a better ride on 95 northbound than we had this morning. we still see some slowdowns

way up to derry. but it about 25 minutes to get through the border up to manchester. once you're into the queen city, 293 is moving well the both directions. further north at the hooksett tolls it's a little slow going, but no accidents at this time. and you're bus any the bow junction. concord things are moving well in that stretch as well. everett turnpike has a lot of volume and you get bogged down northbound between exits 10 and 11. 101 west you're slow as you approach milford going through bedford. 101 eastbound is a good ride. and 95 is in decent shape at the hampton tolls, although we do want to mention that the ez pass, the open toll lanes are going to be shut down between 7:00 tonight and 5:00 tomorrow morning for some maintenance work. you'll be directed to use the ez pass and the cash lanes instead of the open toll roads for that work tonight.

from the wzid traffic network, i'm peggy james for 95.7wzid. jean: thanks. monday's holiday traffic set a record for columbus day. the department of transportation says more than 390,000 cars passed through new hampshire's tolls yesterday. holiday traffic for the weekend was up 4% from last year and the most traffic for all holidays so far this year. about 600,000 people were expected to spend the columbus day weekend in the granite state. we love the leaf peepers. josh: crowded roads indeed. so a distracted driver came dangerously close to sideswiping a state trooper. jean: straight ahead, what the driver was doing in the moments before she lost control. josh: and a deadly day in jerusalem, several people have died in what's being pegged as a day of rage. mike: showers for some this evening before it begins to dry out later on tonight. do we see more showers as the week wears on. josh: at 5:30, new concerns

actions that, a firm active actions that reduce tensions in the region. reporter: to more stabbings in a north town, and down south the israelis closed the gaza border due to riots. in the west bank a young man was shot during demonstrations in bethlehem. the israel prime minister vowed to use every weapon in his arsenal to stop the violence. others called for a greater crackdown, beefing up security and shutting down neighborhoods. following this morning's chaos, quiet now. these streets heading into the old city are normally bustling and tonight it's mostly security, because no one wants to be on the streets. josh: a new report on the crash of malaysia airlines flight 17 says it was destroyed by a russian made missile. the dutch safety board says the missile exploded less than three feet from the cockpit, breaking off the nose of the aircraft. 289 people were on board the

july, 2014 flight from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. it crashed over ukraine. a criminal investigation has begun to decide who will be held responsible for this deadly crash. jean: yesterday we showed you the post office truck picked up by a water spout in florida. tonight it's fed ex deliveries that will be a little late. this truck fell off an overpass in orlando after the driver hit another car. no one was hurt, but you can see the mess left behind by the crash. fed ex says in these cases it sends special teams to pick up every item, examine them for damage and get them back on track for delivery. in utah, a driver looking at a cell phone nearly sideswiped a trooper making a traffic stop. the driver looked up just in time to see the trooper and swerved. that sent her car tumbling off the side of the road. the trooper and several witnesses ran after her to help. that driver did have serious injuries but is expected to survive. josh: and it was an unusual

start to rush hour in boise, idaho when a small plane made an emergency landing on the interstate. apanel the pilot forgot to use the second fuel tank and couldn't make to it the airport, when his engine cut out it was still dark so the only lights he had to go by were the once on the interstate. mike: hopefully not too many complaints weather wise over this past holiday weekend, temperatures well above average on sunday and yesterday, well into the 70's. right now still a lot of fall color out there for those leaf peepers, that will continue this week. temperatures have remained above average, but starting to cool down a little bit. this is the scene, we're trying to see mount monadnock, but they're covered in cloud cover right now. but you see some nice color there in rindge. elsewhere in new hampshire, peak color in a good part of the white mountains, great north woods, lake sunapee zone, including plymouth.

a lot of beautiful color despite the cloud cover. with more sun it looks even brighter and i think we'll squeeze out a little partial sunshine during the day tomorrow. notice right now the latest system building in from northwest to southeast, and there's a lot of unsettled air in the great lakes, pushing in our direction. and this is the leading edge of some cooler air that takes over for tomorrow, and especially the end of the week with yet another system that will drop temperatures big time over the upcoming weekend. right now a scattering of showers, mostly on the light side trying to move through central and southern new hampshire, few and far between. if you'll be out over the next few hours, have the umbrella handy. most of the showers are in northern and western parts of new hampshire. isolated downpour over central massachusetts may survive the trip in to southern zones in the next couple hours. later tonight these showers will fall apart. it's dry to start off tomorrow, but yet another disturbance may trigger a popup shower for wednesday afternoon.

yesterday, but still above average. 60's to around 70 statewide. when we compare them to what we at this hour yesterday it is from five to 12 degrees cooler. again the cooling trend does continue right through this upcoming weekend. overnight tonight a little above average, normal low in the 30's. we'll be in the 40's to around 50, courtesy of some clouds this evening and a breeze stirring the atmosphere up and not really allowing temperatures to cool off. some are holding on big time in the deep south and the fall chill certainly have it in the northern great lakes, and it's nosing in our direction, we'll really feel it saturday and especially sunday of the upcoming weekend. notice the jet stream flow, a lot of blue on the map and that means all the summer warmth and spring-like conditions will be taking a trip to our south at least through the upcoming weekend. tuesday and wednesday we'll start to warm up once again as we go into a warmer patter with temperatures above average.

tonight it's seasonably chilly. tomorrow we'll see temperatures running a little above the norm. overall it's not too bad in terms of temperatures, at least into the start of the weekend. come sunday and monday that's off. so here we go with a look at future cast, we've got scattered showers this evening, it will tend to dry up later tonight. afternoon. sunshine tomorrow. friday we've got some partial sunshine with a couple of spot showers in the north country. there's a look at the highs tomorrow, mid 50's north, generally low to mid 60's central and southern new hampshire. once we get beyond this time frame, again look for temperatures to be much much cooler. again 48 to 50 for tonight, and once we go beyond that for thursday and friday it's low 60's south and much much cooler for the weekend. josh: up next, is text messaging as addictive as gambling? a new study says it has the same effect on teenagers' brains.

number of teens are compulsive texters, like compulsive gamblers if they text too much they lose sleep, they don't get their work done, and apparently lie to cover it all up. jean: people in new hampshire and across the country are trying to hand el addictions sparked by prescription drug use. dr. johnson has more on a national report on opioid usage and steps you can take to keep addiction out of your family. reporter: addiction is a problem that most of us think we will never have to deal with. but for millions of americans with chronic pain, that little pain pill which seems like a quick fix for the throbbing pain good. a new study in the journal of the american medical association reveals that americans on opioids have a high risk of addiction overdose and death, even when they get their drugs legally from their doctors. and more americans who are legally taking these drugs are addicted to them than ever before. twelve years ago the proportion

prescription pain medications among those who used them was 12 out of 100. by 2013 this figure had gone up by about 50%. worst still, another study finds that rates of addiction treatment over the past decade have not budged, even as opioid use and abuse have increased. bottom line, if you are using pain pills, use them judiciously now. that could mean fewer risks later. with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. josh: straight ahead, a dark mountain rescue, where a couple tried to hike out without a map or flashlights. jean: and police need your help to find the man who emptied jewelry cases inside a local k-mart. and now to your u local hot shot, autumn color and a covered bridge, just a gorgeous

we take you to where place where the peak color is hitting. clouds are winning the battle, but certainly plenty of fall color to be had. not much in the waive find from this shot, because we are fogged in at the coast. portsmouth showing visibility under a half mile, that dense fog could be out there through about midnight before the winds shift around a little bit and begin to break up that low cloudiness and fog, and will eventually get back into dryer air by early tomorrow morning. you'll notice on satellite imagery, big upper level system parked out over the great lakes yesterday, slowly building in our direction right now. that's starting a transition into a more seasonably cooler weather pattern. that does not mean temperatures below average through this week, but come this weekend we will certainly see the coldest so far this season and colder than average temperatures. but the next few days is a gradual cooldown with temperatures back to average by thursday and friday.

between now and then a few scattered showers this evening. most of them on the light side. and few and far between over central and southern new hampshire, most of them falling in the up country. later on tonight it's parly cloudy to clear southern new hampshire with a few extra clouds and possibility a lingering sprinkle in the north country. once we got beyond tomorrow temperatures begin to drop back closer to average. still well above mid 60's up north, we should be on average in the lower to mid fifth in time of year. lower 60's in the lakes region, concord checking in at 68 degrees. the dew point is not all that impressive, typically this time of year it's down into the 20's, 30's or low 40's. it's way up there at 58 degrees, that indicates that tonight will not be all that chilly. so if you're out and about on average in southern new hampshire, low 60's, about eight in the evening, near midnight about 55 and lower 50's during the predawn hours of tomorrow morning. so it gets cool but remains above average. below average temperatures in

the great lakes states, and eventually that builds on in here towards the upcoming weekend. between now and then it's just a gradual cooldown. could be a brief shower tomorrow afternoon, but a good part of the day dry, and thursday more in the way of sun. should be a fairly nice sunup in the queen city right around 6:55. the sunrise getting closer and closer to 7:00 in the morning. then we'll see that sun and cloud combo with with temperatures in the mid 60's in southern new hampshire. for tonight, 48 to 54. so all above average for overnight lows, tomorrow a little cooler than today but still above average. right at the average for thursday and friday with the most sun on thursday. could be a brief shower far north and a couple scattered showers friday that could mix in with a few wet flakes up north later friday night early saturday. notice the highs on sunday only in the 40's and that's in southern new hampshire. it's coming. jean: it is coming, all right.
