i just simply got the wording right and the difference between settlement and agreement. >> reporter: cain's tone changed. from seeming to understand why one employee complained -- >> i was standing mere her and i did this saying you're the same height at my wavife. >> reporter: to this -- >> i said if she can make that stick, fine, but it doesn't stick. okay? >> reporter: cain admits his campaign could be hurt. so which of the republican candidates most in iowa today might grab cain voters? >> getting americans to work almost immediately is my goal. >> reporter: the guessing is rick perry gains most. >> the other strong conservative with a lot of money and a network and who is performing better than he was a month arrest so ago, perry, would be the biggest beneficial of all. >> reporter: herman cain claims he raised $300,000 on line

oig's going around badmouthing the two complainants and my client, who signed a confidentiality agreement is bound by it. her lawyer says the national restaurant association ought to release these women and allow them to respond to cain. no word on what the association will do. but we shouldn't hold our breath. you remember the national restaurant association has not commented on any of this or confirmed any of to politico who broke the story and everybody else who has been going to them since the story broke. >> it's also likely that there is a financial penalty pegged to these women. >> you have to figure about this woman has a lot to say, she can make more saying it than she'd lose by giving up the money. there's probably more to it. she said she wouldn't talk unless the restaurant association says she can. her lawyer seems to be saying she won't. >> steve, thank you. violent halloween night here in the district. police are investigating five

go out in public. and i've always said especially with young people, having a hand gun available to you if an argument occurs is always a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: in the meantime, back on m street, concern about what happened last night. concern about safety on the city streets. >> it's kind of scary because you live from day to day, people like to have fun during the halloween and then they took to another level. >> it's scary. you think you can go outside and you can't sometimes. >> reporter: police say the number of assaults with guns so far this year, # 18. the same time last year, 510. the investigation in to all these shooting incidents, that continues on. jim, back to you. >> thank you, pat. economic news now. greece face as possible

so looking if this week. i really think most of this week is going to be very, very nice. remember, 61 the high temperature today, still a little bit below average, average high is around 63 degrees. 55 degrees the current temperature out there, with the sun making its way down winds out of the north right new at about 7 miles per hour. temperatures, 52 in frederick, gaithersburg and fredericksburg. i think we'll start to cool off very quickly as a result of clear skies, as a result of light winds, so we're talking about a very chilly night out there tonight. around the metro area, we're currently sitting towards montgomery county, 52 gaithersburg, 56 rockville. 55 toward dulles. annapolis at 57. no rain to talk about. we'll be dry over the next couple days, we do have a pretty big storm, but it developed just off the coast during the night last night. you saw shower activity into southern portions of matter

land, but halves aboutthat was it. clouds will continue to move out of our region. so very nice weather. it will be cool tonight. but then the sunshine will return tomorrow, we'll see high pressure and very nice weather on on our wednesday. that will stay for the day on thursday, too. we'll see thursday being very nice with mostly sunny skies and then we have to watch this system here for friday. this system i think will move down to the south, but if you remember, the last snowstorm that we just saw came from denver. this storm coming from denver and we'll go back to denver and show you what this storm is expected to do tomorrow. blizzard warnings in effect just down to the south of denver for 4 to 8 inches of snow. and winds upwards of 30 to 50 miles an hour. glad we don't live there. our weather, much, much nicer. that storm will not affect us like the last one did. mostly clear this evening, chilly but nice, 54 dropping down to about 45 degrees. tomorrow morning, sending the kids off to school, it will be a cold one, 27 in some of the

cooler suburbs to about 38 inside the city. winds out of the north/northeast at about 5 to 10 miles per hour. when you get down to 27, low 20s. but sunshine. temperatures a little below average. 56 to about 60 degrees. and then as we move on through the next couple of days, you can see that thursday we warm up back to 62 degrees. friday, who are clouds. a chance of a shower, but the best chances will stay south from that storm. 56 on friday, 54 on saturday. and right now we have the longevity walk coming up on sunday. the weather this weekend is really looking nice for that. come out and join me for that one. >> looks good. thank you. coming up, mar in-flettin f here to talk about his new book. a new study find as link

mar tifftin fletcher's work taken him all over the word and

now he's taken on a new challenge. he's telling the story of his own family. he joins us now. i want to ask you about the latest things that are happening. it's been such an eventful time in the middle east, but here recently, palestinians are firing at israel and there's some increased tension there. what do you make of that? >> it's been about a week of rocket fire into israel. israel has been killing leaders of islamic jihad. israel's retaliating. the big issue today in israel is what to do. should there be a ground invasion again. so that's the issue that the israeli leaders are dealing with right now. but the problem is what do you do. what would america do if it was being fired on by canada? you have to do something and israel is deciding whether or not to go back into gaza. >> so far it's a moderate

response. >> it's moderate, it's defensive. but it could get a lot worse quite quickly. but i don't think the israelis want it and gaza doesn't want it either about. >> you've covered all kinds of conflict and been in war zones. now you're writing books. and this new one is kind of a departure for you. tell us about the list. >> it's definitely a different experience from covering war that is correct's for sure. my previous two books were nonfiction. this is a novel, my first attempt at fiction. and it's about what happened to the jews who survived the holocaust this london. and the title, the list, came from the list that i found of my father's which was a list of his family members on one side of the piece of paper, and my mother's family's on the other side. and the idea was to take off

those who survived and cross out those who did not survive the holocaust. and everybody was crossed out. and i found that piece of paper after my parents died. and i thought i want to find out what was it like in 1945 to go through that process. so it's very much an emotional roller coaster, but it became a political thriller also based on research i did. >> and it's a combination of if i can fiction and auto biographic biographical. >> it's based very much on my family, but my family is part of the whole jewish refugee experience. so a lot of information from my family, but overall, the research i did at the time, there was an attempt to assassinate, also, so that became part of the novel. >> we're looking forward to it. it's available now. and gladded to see you doing so well and having such an interesting adventure. martin fletcher. >> thank you very much.

twh are growing fearses that a series of city government scandals could prompt congress to take a more active role in how the city's run. >> one committee is prime ministering to rewrite the city's personnel laws to require criminal back ground checks on city workers. >> scandal high school a way of hurting good relations. there's been a parade of problems. was assume map brown paid off to attack mayor fenty last year?

why did mayor gray's administration hire so many expensive aids and why were their children hired, too? and will ward 5 council member harry tommy thomas face criminal charges? these and other scandals have been percolating in the city for months and are beginning to affect the city standing on capitol hill. >> it's unfortunate that once again congress is medal manage d.c. business. it sends a strong message to us that we have to get our act together, that we have to come up with strong ethics reform. >> reporter: on capitol hill, california republican darrel eye a threatened to pass renllegisln to require background checks. city activists say city

officials can act to stave off more interference. >> it's unfortunate that congress is starting to think again about meddling in the strict affairs. i think the leaders know what the problems are, they're working to fix them, we can do it ours. we don't need congress' intervention which probably would just make things worse and harder to fix. >> reporter: mayor gray has said a congressional report help willed hip, but still the major of a federal probe. >> are you concerned that the atmosphere may be changing? >> no, i've worked very closely with mr. issa myself. certainly there may be questions that are raised by people, but we certainly i think have demonstrated our ability to make the decisions on behalf of the people of the city. >> whatever the city does, whatever congress does, everyone is waiting to see what u.s. attorney does with his investigations. back to you. thank you, tomorrow. police are investigating a deadly crash involving a pedestrian in prince george's

county. it happened during the morning rush near route 50 and garden city drive. a woman was crossing the street when she was hit. she later died at a nearby hospital. police have identified the victim as 57-year-old bonnie ashton brooks. an 8-year-old boy who is autistic will have to say in the hospital longer than expected after getting lost in the woods in virginia. robert wood jr. sk treated for a hole in his esophagus. his grandmother believes the tear was caused by something robert ate while he was lost in the woods. the child disappeared on october 23rd. he was found in a creek bed on friday and is expected to be okay. relief on the way for thousands of people who get

ballots in important state legislative races. but earlier this year -- he was critical of george allen's first senate term that ended in 2006. >> he was a very good governor of virginia, but when he got to the u.s. senate, i think washington changed him more than he changed washington. >> reporter: but they've reconciled and stewart has changed his assessment. >> all in all, i have to say that i'd retract that statement and say he had a very good senate roord. >> reporter: winning prince william county is key to anyone seeking statewide office and allen says stewart's endorsement is critical. >> we're working together and it is really invigorate to go have cory executive art. >> reporter: allen is seeking the gop nomination against several challengers including this tea party leader. her assessment has not changed. she calls allen a terrible candidate for the republican

party in 2012. tim kaine is the democrat's candidate. >> they've had a love-hate relationship. corey stewart has blamed george allen for the problems in washington. so this this is clearly a marriage of political convenience recognizing the importance of prince william county to statewide election. >> reporter: but the county could be equally important in the 2011 elections next week. four state senate races are close and their outcome could determine whether democrats keep control that chamber or whether republicans succeed in their bid to take over both the house and the senate. julie carey, news about 4. democrats hold a four seat majority in the senate. republica republican control the house. there's a new state chew ew ronald reagan unveiled today. it is the fourth to be dedicated

okay? >> yeah. coming right up, my friend. bank of america is dropping its plans to charge a fee for the use of the debit card. an executive at the bank released a statement today that said our customers' voices are most important to us. thousands of people across the country has expressed outrage at the fee. but what many analysts say forced the change is the fact that many of them closed their accounts and switched to other banks. other major banks in fact who were considering the fee quickly changed their minds about doing so. bank of america's $5 monthly fee was possess supposed to go into effect in january. the company says it was trying to recoup money that was lost after new federal limits were imposed on what they call swipe fees. >> owners of the new iphone 4 s are hoping for a quick fix to their dying batteries. many people are complaining about a lower than advertised battery life and say their their

fully charged devices are running out of screof juice arel use. apple has stayed silent. some people say these issues are reminiscent of the iphone 4's antenna issues. >> what's a form thread? what does that mean? >> that's a lot of complaints. that's what it is. i think. dan, you know what that means, don't you? >> reporter: no, no complaints here, guys. we'll be talking about the capitals back home for the first time in a while after a rough western canadian road trip. also a conference shakeup that has local ties. and a hometown boy is back with

dan, are you there? >> what's up? >> doreen asked how scary can a team be with the name anaheim mighty ducks? >> well, that is a good question, but they're not the mighty ducks anymore. they're just the ducks. i think that's the reason why. because they weren't very scary when they were the mighty ducks. they're 5-5-1, so they are a decent team,s about it doesn't really matter who they play when they're on their game. they are freshly off of a road trip in canada where they struggle losing two straight.

so not riding nearly as high as when they left. it started in edmonton where the caps were trying to become the sixth nhl team to start the season 8-0. caps suffer their first loss of the season. things didn't get better in vancouver either. gave up three first period goals. they fall 7-4 to the canucks. now it's time for home cooking. >> some of the loss was at tributed to taking penalties. tough to win when you're in the box. so then other areas were exposed, as well. tonight we'll be looking to rebound and have a better game at home ice. >> you don't like to make excuses for anything, buts it is

two in a row and we want to get off the slide as quick as possible. it's a long year. you'll go through these little valleys and hopefully we can get out of it and get back into where we want to be, which is at home winning. >> reporter: that's where everybody wants him to be. cody ekin will mac his first nhl appearance tonight. and their tough guy back for the first time since terry his l labrum in the playoffs. it's hard to put a positive spin on the way things are going for the redskins especially with the 49ers coming to town. the redskins offense in a three game losing streak averaging 11 points her game. getting skunked up in toronto didn't help that average. but as we've seen in the nfl, anything can happen. i mean anything. we've seen it, right? the rams beat the saints. the chiefs start the season 0-3, they're now 4-3.

so the players looking for inspiration anywhere they can get it. >> i read tony dungy's book and he talks about when he's with the colts, they talk about doing the little things better than everyone else and that's what we have to do, we have to do no dramatic changes, just the thing has we do, but do them better. >> i don't think coach shanahan will let anybody phone it in. if he sees the first sign of somebody folding if in, whether on the practice field or in it a game, i'm pretty sure the mentality he has, they'll be out of here quick. so he's not going to stand for that. the leaders on this time won't stand for that either. so we'll just keep pushing. we'll keep working. if anything, we'll demand a little bit more out of everybody. >> reporter: deangelo hall and the guys off today. back at work tomorrow to get ready for a dangerous 49ers team.

college ball now. many thought the big east conference was headed south, but they're actually heading west. mining for some new members among the academies and wiester schools. they'll invite boise state, navy, air force for football only, and smu, houston and central florida for all sports. the big east of course has been reeling since losing syracuse and pitt to the acc. and how about that maryland football team? now bringing up the rear in the atlantic coast conference. randy edsel and ter terps have rock bottom. they desperately need a win. maryland has settled in to last place in the acc with a 2-6 record.

fewer than 10,000 fans in the seats when the second half started against b clchc with th danny o'brien relieved c.j. brown, but neither player stood out. o'brien o'brien seemed destined to play next season somewhere else. >> i think sometimes that expectations on young people can make it tough, as well. and maybe i didn't do a good enough job of minimizing expectations for him. i've talked to danny and i've talked to him and brought him aside just like i have everybody else. and i told him even on the field the other day, just go have fun. and i think that's all you have to do. just go out and have fun. prepare the right way.

go out and work hard and have fun. >> reporter: to college hoops. gw ready for a fresh start and it begins with their new head coach and hometown kid. he attended archbishop carroll, 15 winning seasons under his belt already. despite the challenges at gw, he says he's ready to roll. >> being home is awesome. my kids are all going to go to the same school write went. a along tilong time ago. you don't realize how special they are until you do them. my kids get to hang out with their grandfather, he picks them up from school twice a week. so that is pretty cool. >> it's going good. we had a lot of time to bond are him and talk to him and learn

his philosophy. >> i think it was stuff at first. but, you know, you make adjustments. and it's good right now. >> reporter: love seeing mike back in town. it's the caps here taking on the anaheim not the so mighty anymore ducks. >> all right, thanks, dan. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] combine a pnc cashbuilder visa credit card with a pnc performance select checking account and get up to 1.75% cash back for just about every purchase.
