this epidemic of gun violence knows no boundaries. hillary clinton has what it takes to stand up to the republicans and the gun lobby. we need to close the loopholes and support universal background checks. how many people have to die before we actually act... before we come together as a nation? i'm hillary clinton

tolls and then moving well up to concord where we have slight slowdowns through the exits in the city of concord itself. taking a look at 101 west you've got some congestion there between 114 and wallace road. everett turnpike is busy in both directions right now, and we see a lot of company on 101 a in nashua as well. 101 is a good ride to the seacoast and we're very busy on the spaulding turnpike northbound this evening. i'm peggy james for 95.7, wzid. tom: james foley's mother is writing a book about her son. isis militants murdered the journalist in 2014. a publisher says diane foley's book will have memories of her son and include her family's experience while dealing with with his kidnapping and captivity, particularly their experience with government officials. earlier this week it was announce haded that a documentary about foley will air at this year's sundance film festival. jean: five people are reported

the state fire services spokesperson says it happened at the dow chemical plant in north andover, about 2:30 this afternoon. at least three people had to be air lifted to the hospital, one has serious injuries. the cause of the explosion is under investigation. a worker was killed in an explosion at this plant back in 2013. tonight authorities in paris are investigating an incident, police shot and killed a man wearing a fake explosives vest. they say he threatened them with a butcher knife. police found a cell phone and a piece of paper with an emblem of the islamic state group and a written claim of responsibility in arabic. this attack comes a year after the charlie hebdo attack. tom: bracing for more rain and mudslides tonight, more than 6 inches of rain has already fallen over the past three days

slides, that's growing along the coast, million dollar homes are getting pounded by high surf with waves up to 25 feet high, helping form massive sinkholes. jean: a picture from the international space station shows the air pollution creeping across parts of asia. astronauts scott kelly snapped this photo. beijing recently issued its second ever red alert over air quality. government officials say they're working on plans to reduce pollution. this time of year also brings air quality concerns to new england, and wmur's hayley lapoint is here to explain what you should keep in mind. hayley: yes, earlier today there were some air quality alerts that had been issued mainly for cheshire county out by keene because of the valleys there trapping the air particles that can look like this when we have heating devices going. so the air quality alert for cheshire county has been

definitely diminished. but what happens is we get these small particles of pollutants in the air, usually due to heating devices like wood burning stoves. and with the cold temperatures, calm wind and valley locations where the air can get trapped, the air lingers and becomes stagnant. for those affected by this type of air where there's pollutants in it, mainly the elderly, young children or those with breathing problems like asthma or bronchitis, it can cause bigger issues. but that threat seems to have gone away as we've gone through the day and will in earnest as we go through the next couple days with our next storm system approaching, that will flush out the air. for more on the forecast we go over to mike haddad. mike: yes, definitely some changes coming in. a couple systems we're going to track, one big one on sunday and a bit of unsettled before we get there. out at the coast today we had bright skies and temperatures,

chill, back into the 40's in some areas. right now a few high clouds continue to build in from the west. there could be patchy low cloud and fog that develop towards morning. only concern with that is temperatures are above freezing now. but will dip well below of course in the coming hours, already below freezing in concord points north and west. so any patchy fog or low cloudiness that creeps in during the predawn hours may give it about 10% chance result in a light glazing on any untreated surface, so keep that in mind early tomorrow morning if it's foggy where you are. outside of that mainly clear a good part of this night, temperatures starting in the 20's and 30's from north to south. by morning you add another cold one, 5 up north, 8 in the upper valleys, teens for many and low 20's in manchester, nashua and the coast. not a lot of arctic air anywhere in the northeast or for that matter anywhere in the country.

or above average all across the lower 48, or at least most of the lower 48. nice and mild in the deep south, please anally cool here in the northern tier, and eventually we do get a taste of more of that arctic cold next week. but up until that point, jet stream flow is going to drive in warmer air and that means by the time the next system arrives, with the heaviest moisture on sunday, looks like mainly a rain event across new hampshire. so clear skies tonight, towards tomorrow morning wind will continue to build in on shore, and that means some low cloudiness, patchy fog may develop during the predawn hours, especially the morning commute and last into the afternoon. again a slight chance that some of that fog again could develop where temperatures are down below freezing, so there could be a light glazing that develops, not counting on a widespread issue. during the course of friday, the clouds thicken up lakes region south. sunshine a good part of the day farther to the north and then clouds take over everywhere tomorrow night. that's when it gets tricky on

notice not a lot of precipitation, but a little bit of very fine light snow or some light freezing drizzle cannot be ruled out anywhere in central and southern new hampshire, with light snow showers to the north. so untreated surfaces later tomorrow night into saturday morning may be a little slick. moving beyond this system into sunday, that's when the heavier precipitation arrives, it will be mainly rain, although early in the event there could be sleet or freezing rain, but mainly rain as i see it now for this storm on sunday. the winds will pick up as well and temperatures, the next couple of days in the 30's jump back into the 40's for sunday. beyond that here comes the winter chill again for monday with snow showers lingering in the mountains, sunshine elsewhere, it will be gusty out of the northwest and that continues to drive in chilly air as we go through tuesday, wednesday and thursday. but it's january. tom: a lot of people think they're getting a way with something.

week if it gets colder, you may not think so. jean: well, a bus driver accused of deserting his passenger says he was just following orders. tom: up next, what the man was doing while passengers waited for hours. jean: and it's not just good genes that keep tom and giselle in the pot light, their personal

campus, saying they're unsafe because of the risk of falling. and federal authorities are also warning that some have caught fire. tom: straight ahead at 5:30, one new england district just approved medical marijuana in schools, but granite state leaders say they're already addressed that question here. jean: and segues are getting an

being charged on a warrant with conspiracy to commit robbery. reporter: the incident happened monday night when the 65-year-old woman was about to enter an apartment building on south porter street. >> she had stopped at a gas station, it appears this group of individual in the car saw her, realized she may have had some valuables in her purse, they decided to follow her, perhaps they felt it was going to be an easy target. >> soon as i shot him he immediately fell to the ground right away. reporter: the alleged victim, who did not want to be identified, said the woman picked bontaites off the ground and put him in the car. police say bontaites was taken to the elliot hospital and ultimately charged with attempted robbery. another man, zach boyd, was arrested on unrelated charges, but police say he was also with place. police think lambert and gurley have probably not gone very far. >> it's tough to tell where they may be, but one could venture to

in the inner city, maybe staying with friends, couch surfing from apartment to apartment. more likely than not they're somewhere in tinner city. reporter: authorities say if you see either of these women, the best thing to do is call your local police department. i'm andy hershberger. tom: a nashua man facing charges tonight after he allegedly robbed a fast food restaurant on new year's day. nashua police say jose ba tista salva showed an imloan gun and demanded cash. officers arrested him and say he was under the influence of drugs and in charge of two children, charged with robbery and endangering the welfare of a child. a 19-year-old man will spend at least a decade in prison for his role in a beating a tack, a saiz awilliams admitted to taking part in the attack last march in goffstown.

tom: there's your video of the closing bell provided by the new york stock exchange, and ouch, i say ouch, another bad day on wall street. 392 points down, s&p down 47. if that follow, that follows another dramatic day on china's markets which stopped trading for the second time this week. automatic controls kicked in after just 30 minutes. regulators say they will take those mechanisms off line. jean: gas prices, nationally we're 1.98. here in new hampshire averaging 1.98. a new round of macy's closures will include two massachusetts stores.

on the list, although the bedford macy's shut last year. this new round of closures includes stores in massachusetts of macy's says about half the people affected by the closures should be able to find new positions in the company. growing concerns that upcoming mbta fare hikes could have a big impact on students in boston. in 2014 the city eliminated school busses for 7th and 8th graders to save money, putting students on the "t" instead. fare hikes set to take effect in july could raise the price of link passes to $32 a month. that would be an estimated 1.4 million added to boston's school budget. jean: netflix is now available to almost every country in the world. the video service was rolled out to 130 new countries this week, making it available in more than 190 countries total. that's almost the whole globe. the u.s. state department

tom: a new set of dietary guidelines are out from the agriculture. the suggestions are updated every five years. jean: a lot of it may sound familiar, eat a variety of vegetables, try to eat half of your grains in whole grains and get a variety of protein. the new guidelines say to limit saturated fat 10% of your diet, keep your sugar to less than 10% of your calories and keep sodium to 2300 milligrams a day, that's about a teaspoon.

on wmur.com. and you're really going to have to be a lot stricter than that if you want your die tote help you look like tom brady. tom: robin roberts talked to the patriots star's personal chef to find out what keeps him and his super model wife so trim. reporter: from the gridiron to the red carpet, quarterback tom brady and his super model wife giselle bundchen are one of hollywood hollywood's most glamorous couples, now their private chef, alan campbell, revealing their power house diet. >> tom and giselle are known for having some of the hottest bodies on the planet. but it sound like their diet isn't that exciting. reporter: campbell telling boston.com 80% of their diet is ventables and whole grains like brown rice, quinoa the beans. lean meat including chicken,

duck. giselle seen here eating vegetable soup, her daughter digging into a green juice, and tom making breakfast with the kids with the hash tag healthy pancakes. so what foods are totally off limits? campbell says no white sugar, no white flour, no msg. i'll use raw olive oil, but i never cook with olive oil, i only cook with coconut oil. fats like canola oil turn into trance fats. i never use iodized salt. >> they don't consume things like caffeine, dairy, white flour. they avoid all of those. this diet sounds very strict, but that's what keeps tom at the top of his game in the nl and giselle one of the most sought after models in the world. mike: long as his ankle is okay saturday.

searching for a lot of ice out there, it's been a struggle. more open water and temperatures above freezing after a cold one late last night early this morning. but seasonably so, and really no arctic air to be found anywhere around the northeast. so a fair and chilly night before clouds begin to take over by tomorrow. you'll see partial sun early in the day elsewhere, but clouds will eventually take over, could be a touch of drizzle especially late in the day on the coast. outside of that a light spotty mix of snow showers, flurries or freezing drizzle arrives later friday evening into saturday morning, that's where roads could get tricky, then a rainy and windy sunday to round out the weekend on sunday. so right now temperatures with the clear skies for the most part lining up the the upper 20's, low 30's. exeter checking in at 34,

both of those spots will bottom out in the low to mid 20's by early morning. on afternoon the monadnock region, upper 20's, lower 30's. farther to the north a little colder, but not unseasonable. low to mid 20's on the canadian border to the upper 20's to around 30 in the mount washington valley. overnight tonight it does get cold. single numbers north and west of the upper valley, teens in the lakes region, 12 or 13 in concord, right around 20, 21, 22 manchester through nashua and low to mid 20's along the immediate coastline. as for the next couple days, mild air in the south will continue to build in, but wind clouds. that means temperatures will nose down for your friday and saturday before bouncing back into the 40's for the second half of the weekend on sunday.

chill builds in for next week. here we are with clear skies, an ocean storm around bermuda, that will miss the northeast. this system will not. light on shore wind will bring low clouds later on tonight along the immediate shoreline. it gets tricky later tomorrow evening through early saturday morning. notice the clouds are in. even though there's not a lot of precipitation, anything that does fall would be in a frozen form, that could be light snow showers or flurries or freezing drizzle. so keep that in mind if you have travel plans late tomorrow evening heavy rain will arrive on sunday. could start as a mix of sleet or freezing rain north and west of concord.

and cold through a good part of next week. jean: thanks, mike. tom: caught on tape, an amazing ski rescue in a canadian resort. jean: people got stuck on the gondola after a transformer blew out. the guests were strapped into harnesses and dangled from a helicopter. one guest used the go pro to capture it. he said while he got stuck, he did get a sweet ride out of it. >> celtics in chicago to play the bulls tonight. sox lost to the pistons last night. bruins have mcqueen on injured reserve, mcquade injured in the loss on tuesday. b's open a road trip tomorrow night at new jersey.
