region and the actual storm's just to the north of atlanta and they have a couple of tornado watches down toward georgia and a tornado warning down to the south of the atlanta area and that whole system moves through and when it does, we get into some very warm air over the next couple of days. tomorrow, a great day to get out there and play golf and take a lunch outdoors and 7:00 a.m. around 52 degrees and we're at 70 degrees tomorrow by 1:00 and 73 by 3:00 and again, a very, very nice day and i think a very nice couple of days as we move on through tuesday and wednesday. starting off tomorrow on the mild side. plenty of sunshine between 7:00 and 8:00 on the bus stop and kids get off the bus and there's that 70-degree temperature again. nice and warm conditions all afternoon tomorrow and no real chances of any rain happening over the next couple of days until thursday. >> impact, you know it will be on the low side. we are mild. we are sunny and we are nice as we move on through the next few days. >> tuesday and wednesday, carbon

"access hollywood's" billy bush is here to tell us about leah remini's tell-all about the church of scientology. what revelations jumped out most to you? >> this is interesting. others have spoken out about scientology before. leah remini was in the inner circle and close to tom cruise. i covered tom and katie's wedding in 2006 over in rome, you know. i was there for five days, and it was just a huge -- just a tremendous evnt i remember seeing her going in and out of all of the events and

she talks about that time and how she was seen by the church as a troubd member, and even katie holmes participated in writing her up with officials, complaining about her behavior at the wedding and jennifer lopez was also at the wedding leah sort of leads you to understand that scientology officials really wanted j. lo as a member. her father happens to be a scientologist, but they wanted jennifer lopez and leah remini and j. lo are very close. and they kept the two of them apart and wouldn't let them ride to any events and they really wanted -- leah was beginning of the end with her and her relationship with scientology and she does say in the book that there are certain aspects of scientology that were good for her and the religion was extremist, to say the least. she details that riding in the car with connor and bella, the

two children of tom cruise with nicole kidman and leah talked about asking, have you seen your mom. she is a blanking s.p. which is a scientology term for a suppressive person a term used for someone who left the church and is an outcast. >> she sympathized now with katie holmes and did not want to see her children sort of choose the church over her. scientology scientology. >> skiebcientology does not tak this lying down. >> they gave us a statement a short while ago and i can paraphrase. her statements are not only untrue, but they're stupid and ridiculous. these are rumors that have been on forever and they're attacking a very famous person and all stuff we've heard before, but no question, you know, leah remini is as fearless as they come with

this book because others have faced retribution before. >> all right. what else are you working on tonight for "access." >> big story on access. we have her exclusively on wednesday and there's so much to follow up on. in 2005 i interviewed tom cruise and i did a half an hour access hollywood special and we've never done a 30-minute special on anyone and it's always been a 30-minute show and we did a show with tom and scientology and i did eight hours and four different centers in order to do this interview, so i'm going to show her clips and say get into it with her because i know a thing or two about it. >> we didn't see ten, 15 years ago at all. >> more people are, yeah. and not positively. i'll say that. i'm not seeing anyone -- tom cruise was the first one to sort of go out and campaign for it. remember oprah's couch, matt

lauer and that didn't go well and since then he's taken a real big backseat and they've kept it private. >> looking forward to it. thank you, billy. >> thank you, guys. an uber driver ducks for cover in a frightening backseat attack. an assault and what the driver an assault and what the driver i'm jill mccabe, candidate for state senate, and i sponsored this ad. all the mouthwash in the world won't help dick black. because what comes out of his mouth is just offensive. black said gays and lesbians lead "lifestyles that are harmful to the culture of this state." he dismissed rape in the military, calling it "as predictable as human nature." black opposes the use of birth control

and voted to force women seeking abortions to have intrusive transvaginal ultrasounds. dick black. so extreme, it's dangerous.

i'm wendy rieger at the live desk. we're watching as president obama is unveiling some new programs in new jersey. programs that are designed to help former convicts get jobs. this is a live look at a treatment center in newark where the president is making this announcement. this largely resolves around a movement known as ban the box. that's an effort to get employers to remove a checked box about criminal records from their applications. the idea that the employer finds out about the criminal record later in the hiring process. that former convict is more likely to get hired than having it right up front right out of the gate. new jersey already has such a ban in place and the president's announcement will ban the box from federal applications. back to you. >> we continue to work several developing stories right now. a mystery grows over that airline crash in egypt. why investigators are looking for evidence of something explosive inside the plane. >> a frightening discovery for anyone who sent their child

we are following developments at the fairfax county courthouse where right now a jury is deliberating the sentence for charles severance sthours after they convicted him of murdering three exaniants. the death penalty is not an option in this case, but severance is guaranteed two life sentences in the murders of ron kirby and ruthanne lodato.

we have a team of reporters covering the story, and we have reaction to what's developing. live reports are coming up at the top of the hour. new clues have been coming out about saturday's deadly plane crash in egypt's sinai peninsula. crowds have been mourning the 224 victims onboard, but the biggest question remains focused on what caused the crash. was it something that came from inside the jet or outside? >> nbc's bill neely updates us on the investigation. >> reporter: invtigators have two huge pieces of evidence to work with. the two black box flight recorders that egyptian and russian investigators have been working with here all day in cairo. those two black boxes will eventually tell them and us a great deal about how this flight seemingly fell from the sky. >> one of the things that you can't rule out at this time is whether or not there was an explosive device of some sort on the aircraft. >> reporter: we know that the

plane fell very quickly, that it broke apart in mid air and that the pilot didn't issue any may day call. the airline that operates the plane, metrojet said earlier on the only feasible reason for the plane's breakup in the air was some sort of impact, a mechanical or physical impact on the aircraft. >> translator: this is the only explanation why there was not a single attempt to establish communication to report the emergency situation onboard. >> the russian authorities came back quite quickly and said that wasn't true and said that claim is premature and not grounded in real fact. dozens of investigators have been looking at the 12 different areas where major sections of the plane came down looking for evidence ofomething explosive from inside the plane or indeed something that might have struck the plane from outside. most of the bodies of those killed on this crash have now

been taken from cairo and are back in their home city of st. petersburg from where they set out on vacation. back to you. a day before the u.s. would have defaulted on its debt there's a new budget deal in place that will keep us talking about government shutdowns for two years. the bill was passed with bipartisan support last week and signed by the president today. it funds the government and raises the debt ceiling through the 2017 fiscal year. >> it should finally free us from the cycle of shutdown threats and last-minute fixes and therefore plan for the future. >> the deal also means congress won't have to focus about passing a deal during the presidential election. >> we are just minutes away from sunset shortly after 5:00 this evening and we've gone through the whole day with clouds, but it hasn't been that cool today. we've had the temperatures top out at the mid-60s and here we

go with the recreational impact forecast and dropped to 60 degrees by 6:00 this evening and we don't have any wind to contend with and winds will be light by 8:00 and upper 50s for a temperature and pretty nice if you plan on getting a little bit of a run in. here's the activity planner forecast for tomorrow. nglaes from late morning on,e a lotf sunshine lkingund aro and no jacket required and exercising absolutely perfect weather will be around. and some of the high schoolers have football practice going on. >> election day, that is tomorrow also so by the afternoon, most neighborhoods, 68 to 72 degrees and very mild conditions for this time of year, and that's not all. we'll see the temperatures go way up toward the end of the week and we've got that forecast coming up in just a bit. a vlent attack on an uber driver and it was caught on

camera. >> burning a driver and trying to slam his head into the window. >> get out of my car or i will call the police. >> police say the driver was attaed in costa mesa, california, after he asked the man to get out of the car. the guy was drunk and turned on him and the only way he was able to stop him was to pepper spray his own passenger. the driver says he's done working for uber. >> i have lst so much money on people like him, and i am just done dealing with it. people like that take the food right o of my mouth. >> the passenger has been charged with assault and public intoxication and uber has banned him from ever using the service again. head's up for metro commuters in the reston and herndon area. the kiss and ride lot has med direct across from sunrise valley drive. the temporary change will accommoda construction work on new water and sewer lines go with the herndon metrorail

calling for debates, more focused on the issues while he focuses on trying to save his campaign. >> i know i can fix it because i've done it. >> jeb bush means fix washington, but after disappointing many at the last deba debate, he's trailing in a new florida poll done since the debate. donald trump is far ahead and then florida's america owe rubio, ben carson, ted cruz and bush. he went to tampa to fix that to slam rube io and trump. >> the solution won't be found in someone who can implement conservative ideas and you can't just tell congress you're fired and go to commercial break. >> also in florida was ben carson who knows it's voters putting him high in the polls. >> it tells me that they're a lot smarter than anybody thinks they are. >> reporter: carson is a leader in the push to reformat the debate. >> the last debate was a farce, and something needs to be done about it. >> reporter: bypassing the republican party, candidates

aides are drafting proposed changes for debate sponsors like more substance as opposed to gotcha or frivolous questions. no asking for raised hands, no lightning round and no candidate to candidate questions. how that might help rand paul who is polling 3% nationally or chris christie w is at 2% is not clear. >> i hope this next debate will be focused on the issues that matter to folks. >> the one-time front-runner went to orlando to try to fix being fifth in the race. candidates and stafferers are working on d demand for the changes. the next debate is a week from tomorrow and that's pretty quick said ben carson today to settle on new debate rules. i'm steve handelsman, news 4. >> now your storm team 4 forecast. from clouds and a little on the cool side today, how about some sunshine and some warmth? it's right around the corner, but it's not going to stay there forever. so coming up here in my weather

we'll talk about the clearing taking place and i'll give you some election-day weather for tomorrow and indian summer, that's how warm it's going to be. a lot of folks coming off of a weekend that was mainly dry. in terms of washing that car i'll say, sure. go ahead, there are a couple of dry days that will be coming our way. for early part of the day tomorrow we'll see the clouds move out and there will be patchy fog around. here are the locations that i'm looking at any time you see low value, from d.c. down to the south we could see patchy fog as well as right here, fredericksburg into d.c. and over toward annapolis in the early part of the day tomorrow. by 7:00 a.m. that chance of fog diminishes. so sunrise tomorrow, 6:37, patchy fog and keeler temperatucooler temperatures as we drop to 70 degrees. in terms of getting the kids out of the door, i do think that with temperatures warming up quickly that by 7:00, 8:00 a.m. in the morning the temperatures will be rising enough so kids
