the iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at former president, george bush, is being we released tonight. he spent nine months in jail. he threw his show shoes at mr. bush during a press conference last december. as he tossed his footwear he shouted "this is your farewell kiss, you dog." and mr. bush was quick and he ducked and was not hurt. investigators found bloody

clothing inside the building where a missing yale student was last seen. that's what police sources told us. new evidence could point the case towards foul play. the fbi will not confirm what they found is linked to annie lee. lee, of course, disappeared inside a yale lab building five days ago and police don't believe she ever left that building. investigators have also started centraling a landfill where trash from the lab is dumped. webeil wht rl k. bigac

spoke to was at least sir couple expect about how thing could be in a hot race. >> anyone would t t wo take advantage of a slip-up. let's t put it that way. good evening. i'm your meteorologist, chuck bell. a beautiful day. 83. high and 63 the start this morning right now. 81. delightful northwesterly winds. bright blue skies, temperatures around the restli of there a aa generally in the low to mid 80s around the metro area. a few upper 70s alongside the chesapeake bay. 77 at andrews air forcebase. 77 in southern maryland. beautiful weather is here to stay for the next two days at least, as high pressure builds down from the upper midwest and provide a early inially wind through much of tomorrow and tuesday. the week will start out warm and dry but an area of disturbed weather across the gulf coast not taking on too much in the way of tropical characteristic just yet but pulling up an enormous moisture from the gulf

of mexico and as a result, all that moisture will be encroaching on the mid-atlantic as we go through the rest of the week. so for now, we'll start with bright, beautiful sunshine on monday and tuesday as the high pressure is in charge but gradually, that center of high pressure will move offshore and provide us with east to northeast wind and we all know what that's like. clear and mild for tonight. temperatures in the low 80s and back to the upper 60s to near 70 by 11 p.m. by sunrise, mid 50s in the western suburbs to low 60s around town and then another beauty of a day coming up tomorrow. mostly sunny skies. high temperature tomorrow, near 85 degrees. another mid 80s day coming up on tuesday and then the clouds and chances for rain return to the area for wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday. >> all riyoureather . e'. wurerth yo

the fant sin lineups are set. the trash talking has commenced.

pro football season is upon us. >> you're right. it's greatest time of the year, hand's down. i love it. let's unwrap it right now. a sparkling brand new nfl season is here putting smiles on faces from coast to coast. kickoff sunday opened with a bang. we start in the nfc, dallas on the road at tampa bay. tony romo had a career day against the buccaneers. third quarter, cowboys up 13-7 looking for more. romohrows a perfect pass to roy williams, called threading the needle. williams does the rest. a 66-yard score with dallas up 20-7. fourth quarter, dallas leads by six. romo, he throws it out to the far sideline to an wide opened patrick clayton and he's gone. 80 yards for the touchdown. the longest td of his career he threw for 353 yard in three scores and the cowboys beat the bucks 34-21. andy reid and the eagles take on the panthers.

eagles trailing and trent flies in and he fumbles and victor recovers it in the end zone. eagles go up 10-7. they are defense forced seven turnovers. and the panthers, they punt it to deshawn jackson. fields it at the 15 yard line and jackson is a speedy guy. and apparently, he's wearing some sort of no-tackle cologne. he goes 85 yards for the touchdown. philadelphia leads it, 17-7. very next weeg eagles's possession. donovan mcnabb dumps it off to brent sell lick. he muscles his way into the end zone and then the touchdown celebration. kids don't try this because you'll get in trouble like the eagles. they still win but donovan mcnabb left with a broken rib. reid says there's a chance he'll play next week. we'll go to baltimore, ravens, chiefs. todd hailly and brodie coil gets

an earful. thourt quarter, the chiefs are down by seven. tight end shawn ryan dives in for the touchdown and chiefs tie the game at 24. we got a ball game. the ravens would turn to joe flacco. no sophomore slump here. less than three minutes to play and flacco goes deep and hauls it in for a touchdown and flacco threw for more than 300 yards. the ravens downed the chiefs, 38-24. >> you had flacco on the bench? >> i'm going to hear i now. >> you got him on the bench. >> can i move along? >> no one really cares about what i'm stalking in my fantasy football league. >> i care. college football. last nightmare land rallied to beat james madison in overtime on a field goal. they would have never had the chance if it wasn't for senior quarterback, chris churner who displayed poise when it counted. in the third quarter, turner orchestrated an incredible

fourth-quarter drive that resulted in the game-ties touchdown. chris turner was simply resilient. it's the fourth quarter. they trail 35-28. and on fourth and four, well, they go for it. good decision. chris turner delivered and throws to ronny tyler for the first down and more and turner and the team are in business. very next play. turner drops back. so cool, calm and collected. goes up top to adrian for a 27-yard touchdown to tie the game and they win in , 38-35 and chris turner said after the game, we believed in just remained patient. >> our mindset was don't freak out. have some poise. we've -- all we have to do is make plays and play our game and everything will take care of itself. >> i thought he had a very gutty performance tonight. i thought he hung in there and chris s always been at his best in the toughest times. and i think he came through for us big-time. >> a gutty performance from

chris turner. how about that? talking baseball, when you play in miami you know two things for sure. there will be more empty seats than fans and it will likely rain at some point. when the nationals play in south florida they usually use. today they changed that forecast. top of the first, and they are down for a base hit to right. ian scores and here comes gusman and the nationals take a lead on the rbi single. looking good. 3-1. pete or up with two outs and an man out and sends a shot to right center for a two-run home run. his first of the season and the third of his career. they are up, 5-1. john cruising along and gets ramirez wavest strike three. he struck out three and allowed one run in five innings of work. there's a 2:15 rain delay in the

sixth inning and now another delay in the ninth. they lead, 7-2 and they'll probably win the ball game. >> hopefully they'll call it and they can win that way. >> they are in the bottom of the ninth so, you know -- >> cool. we'll talk more about your fantasy team through the the league because it's important to note that our sports guy has the fewest point in the fantasy football league. >> but i still have five guys to play. >> i'm just stating the facts. >> it's not over. it's inconclusive evidence here. >> quick check of the seven-day forecast. seven-day forecast, beautiful weather for tomorrow and again as tuesday. so that's two nice days in a row with temperatures in the mid 80s. our chances for rain come back by the middle of the week. alight chance for light rain and drizzle on wednesday. better chance for light showers as we go into thursday as a result of the clouds and rain chances. highs on wednesday and thursday, back down into the low 70s. so cool, cloudy weather returns back into the area and unfortunately that pattern may hang around like last week with

rain chances ledgering into friday and maybe early saturday remember last week? beautiful sunday? sort of the same thing. that long east wind, lots of chances for rain next week. >> when is the official start of fall. >> september 1st is the beginning open meteorological fall. >> but the equinox is the beginning of astronomical fall. it's a very technical point. >> september is a fall month. that's all i'll say. >> all right. thanks to you and hakem, thank to you. ybs nightly news is up next tonight at 11:00, team coverage on the redskins big win. if you say it out loud it happens. >> it could happen. that's the news. good night.
