minds. >> no one covers new hampshire like we do. now wmur news 9 at 5:00. josh: we begin with breaking news out of paris. french police responding to multiple acts of violence in and around the city that have killed at least 26 people and a number that is likely to rise, and several more are being held hostage. police say there's a shooting at a restaurant and a pair of explosions in a bar near a soccer stadium. jean: what you're looking at now is a live feed of the coverage from french television the french president was in that stadium at the time, he is holding an emergency meeting right now. he is safe. it's not clear if these events are linked. high security was already in place in france ahead a major global climate conference scheduled for two weeks from now. we'll bring you any updates from paris as soon as we get them. in other news, one of america's most wanted terrorists is

believed to be dead. jcial officials say a drone strike killed the man who murdered several hostages including new hampshire journalist james foley. reporter: we're here outside the home of jim foley's parents. the slain journalist last visited here in the summer of 2012, that was just a few months before he was taken hostage. they haven't seen him since. we do know that because of all this they have been very open with the media two years later, they met with the crush of media outside the house to talk about his death at the hands of isis by a man they later learned was jihadi john. john foley says the fact that islamic militant mohammed emwazi may have been killed by an american strike brings the family little solace. he and his wife say rather than focusing on one misguided low level recruit they'd rather have

directed at savings james foley and the six other hostages that died at the hands of isis. >> it makes absolutely no difference that he's been killed or may have been killed. the war is ongoing. but honestly i really don't want to talk about it because it glorifies his existence, which facilitates potentially further recruitment. reporter: new hampshire's two u.s. senators maintain that while killing mohammed emwazi won't bring jim foley back, it does bring a measure of justice. >> it sends a very strong message to other terrorists that we are not going to tolerate this kind of barbarism. >> i think it's important to underscore that we need to deliver justice to all who

james foley, steven sotloff and others. reporter: coming up at 6:00 we'll hear from both of james foley's parents. jennifer crompton, wmur news 9. josh: the u.s. has been expanding its fight against the terror group including the use of special forces now in syria. president obama sat down with abc news for an interview on the strategy against isis. reporter: for the white house, mohammed emwazi, known as jihadi john, was a valuable target. >> this guy was a human animal and killing him is probably making the world a little bit better place. reporter: in the videos showing emwazi participating in horrific murders, emwazi mentioned the president by name. secretary of state kerry says he hopes this strike sends a message. >> the terrorists associated with dash need to know this. your days are numbered.

reporter: in an exclusive interview with george stephanopoulos thursday, the president laid out the broader strategy to take the fight to the islamic state. president obama: our goal has been first to contain, and we have contained them. reporter: in fact the u.s. has been taking the fight to the islamic state in iraq and syria. in addition to thursday's strike, the pentagon recently announced as many as 50 special operations force troops would deploy to syria. and an early morning attack on the islamic state's hold on the iraqi town of sinjar appears to have been successful. the president says the ultimate goal is to cut off the forces that were behind those horrific beheadings. president obama: what we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures. we've made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters. reporter: at it a briefing in baghdad today, u.s. military officials confirm that these recent events are part of a thought out comprehensive

state. jean: the boston marathon bomber will get a hearing next month on his request for a new trial. attorneys for dzhokhar tsarnaev say he didn't get a fair trial in boston because there was such bombings. tsarnaev has been sentenced to death for the terror attack which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. tonight we are learning more about what investigators say led up to the deadly overdose of a rochester teenager who was found in a motel room last month. police say eve tarmey overdosed on fentanyl in the same room as her mother and her mother's boyfriend. they were both in court today. wmurs mike cronin joins us live with more details. reporter: these court documents say that the mother's boyfriend, mark ross, did not call police after discovering that tarmey was dead. now he, tarmey's mother, and another woman are all charged in connection with her death. an affidavit details what

allegedly happened before 17-year-old eve tarmey was found dead in a rochester motel room on october 17th. she was staying there with her mother, jazzmyn rood, and her mother's boyfriend, mark ross. earlier court documents say tarmey, ross and another woman, leslie eberly, went to methuen, massachusetts to buy what they thought was heroin. ross allegedly told investigators he bought two grams of heroin for $80. they were supposed to meet tarmey's boyfriend, but he never showed up. when they returned to the motel, court documents say tarmey was upset. so ross gave her what he thought was heroin to calm her down. the toxicology results showed it was actually fentanyl, 30 times more powerful than heroin. around 3:30 in the morning, court documents say ross saw the teen slumped over in bed and knew she was dead. instead of calling 911, the paperwork says ross spent an hour and a half cleaning up the motel room, and disposing needles in the dumpster. ross i charged with five

felonies, one punishable by life in prison. tarmey's mother is charged with two felonies, each punishable up to seven years in prison. the third person charged was arraigned in newburyport, massachusetts today, she's held without bail. mike cronin. josh: now to commitment 2016, and another major republican candidate put his name on the today. kentucky senator rand paul arrived at the secretary of state's office just afternoon time to fill out the paperwork and drew a pretty good crowd. one of the questions from the media focused on the heroin problem in new hampshire, and paul says he would lift restrictions on health care providers when it comes to treatment. >> it would allow nurse prak titioners more freedom to see drug addicts and would also allow some trained health professionals in addition, so we would expand the treatment of it. i think the treatment of heroin should be a treatment of a

addiction, and not so much an incarceration problem, but something that we treat as an addiction problem. if you lessen how much money we spend on incarceration for drug problems. josh: he says he would not favor cross border enforcement to get to the source of the heroin production until that country gave its permission. also, george pataki was in the state today. the former new york governor spoke behave gathering of americans for peace, prosperity and security. this afternoon at u.n.h. manchester. during a roundtable discussion, pataki stronged for a stronger foreign policy. in addition he had harsh words for donald trump's proposed deportation force to move illegal immigrants back across the border. >> i think trump's idea is just ridiculous. it is not just something that is unworkable, it's morally wrong. josh: pataki is also calling on the republican national

committee to protect the new hampshire primary at its upcoming january meetings. and jeb bush and john kasich also in the state today. bush held a town hall in franklin this morning. kasich has a town hall beginning in laconia in about a half-hour. tomorrow night the democratic candidates for president will take to the debate stage for the second time, and this one will iowa. it is a national debate, but fuel subsidies will than an important topic. one of the moderators explain what voters will be looking for tomorrow night. >> probably the hottest issue for a -- iowans is immigration, with which is one of the reasons trump may be doing well here. hispanics are the largest minority group in iowa, they have surfaced african-americans in the last 10 to 15 years. josh: unlike the first democratic debate, there will be only three candidates on stage, clinton, o'malley and sanders, bat us that jim webb and lincoln

chaffee are no longer in the running. and the debate may not mean much to a lot of delegates. most democratic super delegates, the that includes new hampshire, are already supporting hillary clinton. more than 80% responded to this poll. nationally 359 say they are in clinton's corner. just a handful are committed to sanders or o'malley. in new hampshire six of our eight super delegates say they are backing hillary clinton. these representatives do have the option of supporting any candidate they want to at next years convention regardless of the outcome of the primary or the caucus. >> of course, none of these things are binding, just because somebody has pledged their support to hillary publicly doesn't men they can change their mind. but she has a sizable lead. it would be hard for bernie sanders to flip enough of these folks until the convention comes, something pretty unusual would have to happen or unexpected. josh: we should note that one of new hampshire's super delegates

before the primary and that's democratic party chair ray buckley. jean: we're going to turn to the traffic watch and see how the evening commute is shaping up. live pictures from 293 in manchester from our elliott at rivers edge camera. peggy james joins us live with a more detailed look of our evening commute. peggy: hi, jean. probably a good idea to keep two hands on the wheel for your ride home today, a little gusty out there. coming up from the massachusetts border on 93 northbound, some slowdowns between wind a ham and derry. 293 is moving well both north and southbound, plenty of volume for you. further north through hooksett on up to the 89 split you're in good shape. 93 slows down through the concord exits. 101 is heavy in bedford in both east and west side directions. and the everett turnpike is heavy especially through the merrimack exits. no hassles tonight though to and

this report being brought to you by auto fair. i'm peggy james for 95.7, wzid. josh: coming up, doctors helping doctors, when it comes to handling the heroin epidemic. we'll tell what you was on the table at a special gathering today. jean: f.e.m.a. will send money to rochester to help with the cleanup costs from last january's nor'easter. how much money the city will get. mike: a windy and chilly start to the weekend tomorrow, but what changes follow on sunday, the forecast coming up. josh: then, several people have been arrested in connection with what police are calling heroin dens. jean: then at 6:00, new motions filed against nathaniel kibby, what defense attorneys are

there are many sides to basketball star an fashion icon russell westbrook. and with coverage in the middle of anywhere from u.s. cellular, he can find some new ones. like, farmer. russell's brussels. russell speaking. paleontologist. hashtag t-rex. park ranger. where am i? and t.v. spokesperson. that's my line. i got it. with u.s. cellular, you can do all the things you like, from the middle of anywhere.

jean: an update now on the breaking news out of paris, at least 35 people are now dead in a series of violent attacks around the city. 100 people have been taken hostage in a theater. josh: several killed were in a restaurant where gunfire broke out there. were also explosions reported at a soccer stadium where the french president was attending a game, he's now in an emergency meeting. obviously this is a story we'll continue to follow and we'll

comes in. in bedford, improved training and less overprescribing of drugs. jean: doctors and nurses from across the state took part. heather hamel joins us live now, and this is one step toward ending the heroin epidemic? reporter: yes, doctors say about 45% of the people who are now using heroin misuse prescription medications. so they're giving those who prescribe the drugs better techniques, it could help to crack down on the epidemic. >> it's difficult to make changes for yourself. it's easier to take a pill. but ultimately we're seeing that time. reporter: doctors, nurses and others in the medical field friday were educated on how to assess each patient before prescribing a painkiller. an individualized approach that includes everything from drug records. this is the first in a series of regional opioid education conferences, announced by governor maggie hassan in august. >> we know that we can prevent

including provider training and aadopting best prescribing practices. reporter: they also talked about alternative ways to treat pain. >> it means exercise as tolerated, not no pain no gain, but an exercise program, self management of stress, mindfulness is becoming a very important intervention or deep relaxation by other means. beginning to understand what increases and decreases their pain. >> unfortunately we are on a spectrum right now where we went from managing pain to pain was the fifth vital sign to patients have an expectation of no pain. and quite frankly, when you're a very busy practitioner, medications are easier and we start prescribing medications and then we started to realize this is causing a problem. reporter: dr. diane snow wants to play a role in turning this around and learn how to keep patients safe while still treating them. >> this is incredibly time consuming for a full-time provider to be able to get this information is difficult.

we can be handed the information and resources that we need to then go back into the community and help is going to be critical. reporter: while prescription opiates was the focus, the attorney general and police officers were also participants. medical experts say it's helpful to see things through the eyes of clinicians and beneficial for doctors and nurses to get a better understanding of what the burden is on law enforcement. heather hamel, wmur news 9. josh: thanks. the city of rochester will get more than $140,000 from f.e.m.a. to cover some of the costs from the powerful nor'easter that hit us last january. the money covers the cost of clearing roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and several roofs. mike: the wind the big story for today. blowing up to about 35 miles per hour in many spots. still continuing to gust at times out there right now. take a look at the time lapse, up in the lakes region where we've seen clouds and a bit of

along with those gusty winds. but the temperatures not all that bad. running above average by about six, seven, it a degrees in many spots. as yes the mild air continued to build in from the west. however, we're starting to see a wind turning around to the northwest and you know what that means, some colder air and with some moisture still left over, vem we get a -- eventually we get a change from rain over to snow. take a look at what's happening with the radar, not too much over central and southern new hampshire. but to the north the showers are continuing on and off at least through the evening into early tomorrow morning, and that's where we could see a light accumulation right through that time frame. again a lot of cool air building in from the north and west, so signs of change coming on in w. the mild air going by the boards, it replaced by seasonably chilly stuff, again very typical for the month of november. we've seen anything but that

over the past 10 to 12 days to start off this month. readings are lining up close to the average highs for this time of year and the winds continue to blow out of the west at a pretty good clip, from 15 to 30 miles per hour in many spots, the latest gusts coming in, about about in laconia and a little lower, but still breezy in many other parts of the state. mixed showers tonight, that means rain changing over to snow, white mountains through the great north woods. possibly into the heart of the lakes region, as overnight lows dip into the low 30's north and mid to upper 30's in southern new hampshire. big chunk of cold air building in from the north and west to kick off the weekend, accompanied by winds tomorrow, it will feel much colder than it was for today. despite even those wind that were active. notice on future cast, rain and snow showers change over to all snow in parts of northern new hampshire. again there's not a storm by any stretch, but lingering moisture with enough cold air makes it tricky for some in northern sections. in southern areas, after say

9:00 or 10:00 there could be a mixed shower in central parts of the state, especially in the higher terrain, then it clears out by morning, while the clouds persist in northern sections. beyond that most of the clouds tomorrow in the great north woods, white mountains. bright skies with high cloud on sunday. in terms of snow up north, you saw this in october, or a little stretch there when it was quite chilly before we warmed up in november. so a coating to an inch or two can't be ruled out. berlin, pittsburgh, through the heart of the white mountains with the one to two inch amounts elevations. for tonight again the wind continue to blow, turning around to the northwest, mixed showers change over to a bit of snow up north. any showers will give way to clearing in southern parts of the state. saturday. we'll call it windy at times as we could see gusts over 30 to 35 on sunday, slightly lower in the wind department, slightly milder

not a bad stretch monday through wednesday and possibly thursday of next week. josh: thanks. a man who saw burglars break into his neighbor's house grabbed his gun and his camera, that story coming up next. jean: plus an attempted robbery did not go as planned, at 5:30 the clerk's quick response had

provide whatever assistance that the government and the people of france need to respond. france is our oldest ally. the french people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the united states time and again. and we want to be very clear that we stand together with them in the fight against terrorism and extremism. paris itself represents the progress. those who think that they can terrorize the people of france or the values that they stand for are wrong. the american people draw strength from the french people's commitment to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. we are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberte, egalite, fraternity,

are not only values that the french people care about, but they are values that we share. and those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crimes this evening. we're going to do whatever it takes to work with the french people and with nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people. we don't yet know all the details of what has happened. we have been in contact with french officials to communicate our deepest condolences to the families of those who would kill, to offer our prayers and naughts to those who have been wounded. we have offered our full support to them. the situation is till unfolding.

president hollande at this time because my expectation is that he's very busy at the moment. i actually, by coincidence, was talking to him earlier today in preparation for the g20 meeting. but i am confident that i'll be in direct communication with him over the next few days and we'll be coordinating in any ways they think are helpful in the investigation of what's happened. this is a heartbreaking situation, and obviously those of us here in the united states know what it's like. we've gone through these kinds of episodes ourselves. and when ever these kinds of attacks happen, we've always been able to count on the french people to stand with us. they have been an extraordinary counterterrorism partner, and we intend to be there with them in that same fashion. i'm sure that in the days ahead we'll learn more about exactly

what happened, and my teams will make sure that we under communication with the press to provide you accurate information. i don't want to speculate at this point in terms of who is responsible for this. it appears that there may still be live activity, and dangers that are taking place as we speak. so until we know from french officials that the situation is under control and we have more information about it, i don't want to speculate. thank you very much. josh: remarks from president barack obama as the city of paris is under seenl tonight in what appears to be a series of coordinated terror aattacks. but president obama himself does call them terror attacks and pledges that the u.s. will stand with the people of paris and provide the country of france with any assistance that it needs. but also said that this is a situation that is still ongoing and there appears to be still live activity in paris right now. jean: he called it an attack on all of humanity. you are looking at live pictures

produce scattered showers. eventually they change over to a little bit of snow up north, it's a bright and blutsery saturday, flurries up north, sunshine elsewhere. bright, breezy and slightly milder sunday. and a fairly quiet stretch monday through early thursday of next week. jean: thanks, mike. volunteers gathered today for a special holiday project. up next how this work will brighten the holidays for granite state service members. tom: we'll are the latest from paris coming up at 6:00 tonight, and local families since the death of a major isis figure is not something to celebrate, known as jihadi john and likely their son's killer, the foley family says the air strike on him brings no real peace. and 16 motions filed in the kidnapping case against nathaniel kibby, some of the documents have been released. what they say about the disappearance of a conway
