that we know. >> reporter: tell me about who you're searching for. do you have any type of identification or lookout information? >> right now we just have two young black males. that's what we're working on. >> reporter: all right, thank you, officer elly lawson, we appreciate your time. allison, tony, that's the story here. the green belt police crime scene investigation on the scene. about 7:30, once again, two people shot at, one person hit in a local hospital this morning. now back to you guys. >> thank you very mh. obviously we'll bring you mor information as it comes in and certainly later today and the 5:00 news. in the meantime let's check in with tucker for a look at the day's weather. >> good morning, guys. clouds. clouds to start the day. cool temperatures once again. back in the 50s ovnight. if you hang in there, we'll be in the 70s this afternoon. it will be a warm day but the clouds will stick around for much of the afternoon. 58 at reagan national. your humidity is up 78%. the winds are light out of the

north, shifting out of the south during the course of the day. you'll notice they'll be out of the south at 10 miles an hour and that will start to pump in the warmer air from the south. we've had a warm front start to move through the area. that's bringing us cloud cover and a couple of light sprinkles. most of the activity is to our north and out to the west with a cold front. that will be our weather as we get into the overnight hours and the first part of our weekend. i'll have more details on that. for the reminder of today we'll see a little sunshine this afternoon. partly sunny skies later today. warmer temperatures than yesterday. yesterday only in the 60s. today the mid-70s so it will be nice and comfortable and should be dry for most of the day. >> i saw awe ray of sun about 45 minut ago. thank you, tucker. appreciate it. now to a developing story we're following. we're just hours away from finding out who will be the next city to host the 2016 olympic games. >> chicago is said to be a strong contender, thanks much to president obama and first lady michelle to traveled to copenhagen to try to pursued the international olympic committee to pick the windy

city for the games. fox's doug luzader has more on the push. >> reporter: chicago may be a favorite, but it's not a lock. president obama is hoping that his personal appeal to the international olympic committee will help seal the deal. as sales calls go, it doesn't get much more high pressure than this. air force one touching down in copenhagen. for all the haggling and deal making that goes on within the international olympics committee, the president is hoping hisoice cut througit all. >> if we walk this path together, then i promise you this. the city of chicago and the united states of america will make the world proud. >> reporter: and it's not just the president, it's the first lady and perhaps chicago's best- known resident, oprah winfrey. all hoping their star power will sway the ioc vote. >> and i am dreaming of an olympic and paralympic games in chicago that will light up lives in neighborhoods all

across america and all across the world. >> i think it's the greatest city in america. i say that even in new york city. >> reporter: chicago is competing with three other cities. its biggest challenge may come from rio de janeiro but madrid and tokyo also have strong bids. chicago put together a glitzy marketing campaign, bu the real selling point could be the president. >> that's better than having the senior public servant saying my country is behind this bid. i think it can only help and certainly can't hurt. >> reporter: but the chicago bid does have its problems. outbreaks of violence have dominated recent headlines and there's also considerable public resistance within chicago. but the president is putting his clout behind his adopted hometown and that may be enough. the voting process itself is complicated and it can be quite suspenseful. theoc goes through many as three rounds of voting before

one city win the majority. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. >> find out who gets chosen by heading to my faulk d.c..com. we will stream the announcement live at 1:30. coming up in a few minutes, the chairman or former chairman of the d.c. olympic committee will join us in studio to talk more about the selection process and what goes into it exactly. president obama doing very heavy work on his short trip. he summoned his top afghanistan commander to copenhagen today for a quick meeting aboard air force one. that meeting with general stanley mcchrystal took place before the president flew back to washington. montgomery county police are asking for your help finding a 10-year-old boy. noah kaiser was last seen around 11:30 yesterday morning at roberto clemente middle school in germantown. he is 4'11", 90 pounds with a short crew-cut hair style, brown hair and brown eyes. he was last seen wearing jean shorts, a black penguins t- shirt and white nikes. if you have seen noah or know

more evidence today that the recession is still inflicting plenty of pain out there. the unemployment rate rose to 9.8% in september as employers cut more jobs than expected. the labor deparent says the nation's economy lost a net total of263,000 jobs last month. that is well above what economists predicted at 180 now. now to developing stories in the pacific. she spent 40 hours trapped under rubble but crews pulled her out alive. that find reinvigorated frantic efforts to find survivors of two deadly waits in sumatra. it's estimated 3300 are missing and lesson hundred dead. heavy equipment to help sort through the rubble is expected to arrive today. military convoys have dropped off food, water and medicine to the samoan islands. a tsunami crashed ashore with massive waves killing at least

169. police say e search for bodies could last another three weeks. a government official announced plans for a mass funeral and burial, restoring power to the capital of american samoa could take at least a month. the white house trying diplomacy with iran is in talks designed to help stave off nuclear weapons development. president obama called yesterday's meeting in geneva constructive, but says he now wants to see action. the u.s. and its five partners, france, germane, britain, china and russia, did get iran to agree to allow weapon inspectors into its uranium enrichment plant and president obama says the country has two weeksto do so. another round of talks will be held by the end of the month. it's a bustling metropolis with the warmth of a small town. where the world already comes together every day to live and work and reach for a drink. >> i'm asking you to choose

chicago. i'm asking you to choose america. >> you don't get bigger cheerleaders than that power couple there. president womaned first lady michelle obama make their case in denmark to bring the 2016 olympics to chicago. the winning city is expected to be announced early this afternoon. so what are the members of the international olympics committee, the ioc, discussing now and what would a decision in chicago's favor mean? former d.c. olympic committee chairman mike pinetta joins us to talk about this entire process. are you waiting like we all are to see what happens this afternoon? >> of course. >> it's going to be a great announcement when it does come down, either way. you have worked on behalf of d.c. for bringing certain events for the olympic games. talk a little about your experience with the whole process. >> sure. what we did in 2006, we realized that the district of columbia obviously did not have voting representation in congress, neither does american samoa, guam, u.s. virgin islands, these other american territories are able to field

the olympic games so in 2006 we decided why can't the district of columbia field its own team and we put together a curling team and lobbied for entry. >> you're an advocate and also the shadow senate for the district. we want to mention that too. we were talking earlier and you said don't look at who's the front runner. well, chicago looks good right now. talk about the process and front runner status. what does this mean when you have different rounds. >> sure. there's four cities an they all made presentations today in copenhagen. some people think chicago is a front runner, other people think it may not be. but a lot of things can happen. what happens is there's 106 members of the international olympic committee of which 99 of them get to vote. if you have a team that's -- a city that's in contention, you don't vote as an olympic committee member. so there's three rounds of voting. after the first round of voting, the city with the lowest amount of votes is taken out of the mix. so what can happen is the

people who supported that lower bid, the lowest city, get to vote again and they may throw their support to something else. there's been several instances, a small town in south korea had bid for the winter games and lost out twice. they were front runners. they won the first round of voting, but then in the second round of voting, they had lost because of the support of other cities were thrown to different cities and they lost the games twice. >> right. is that just an effort to be fair with the three different, you know, rounds for lack of a better term? what's the reason? why not just one decision, okay, we choose whomever. >> it's sort of an instant runoff voting situation. you may have -- as an olympic committee member you may have your one, two and three choices. your number 1 choice gets thrown out so you'll throw your support to your second choice. it may not be the front runner or what other people had voted for the first time around. interesting things happen. >> how big of a i guess momentum do you think the city of chicago got with the power players that were there?

does it matter in the end? what dthey look at? is it the emotional stories about i hope my hometown gets this honor or is it my hometown can put this on for x billion less than this other city. >> the international olympic committee looks for a variety of thing. this has been going on for two years leading up to the presentations today. you look at is there local support from state and local governments. can the transportation infrastructure handle the games. there's all sorts of different things that come into play. having the obamas there is a huge thing for chicago. like i said before, the international olympic committee wants to know what kind of support are we getting from the local government. you have the president of the united states who's a chicago native and his wife there, i mean that is just showing the highest level of support from this country. it means billions of dollars to chicago and the country to get these games. and like -- i like to say there's no silver medal in the olympic committee's selection process. if you come in second, the

millions of doars that are spent on your bid to get those games, that investment is gone. you can maybe apply again for subsequent games, but there's no runner-up prize here. >> do they look at cities or countries who have never hosted the olympics before? i guess as an american, what are the odds that we'll get the olympics this afternoon? >> they're pretty good. we hadn't hosted a summer game since the 1996 olympics. madrid is one of the cities. spain hosted the 1992 games in barcelona and tokyo is one of the other bids and they haven't hosted a summer games since '64. so i think the wild card is rio because they have never hosted a city before. so that's e of the considerations the ioc members will look at. it's not the only one. you can have a city that never hosted the games before but if they can't handle the infrastructure or if local government will not support this -- >> mike, fantastic insight into what's going on and we are all looking forward to the decision this afternoon. thanks for joining us today. >> thank you. >> tony, over to you. makes me that much more

kidnapper, brian david mitchell, is mentally capable of standing trial. prosecutors and elizabeth smart's father hope her testimony will convince a judge that mitchell is competent. >> if this doesn't clench the issue of competency, our nation is in really, really bad shape. >> reporter: prosecutors say smart's testimony shows mitchell is manipulative, not mentally incompetent. >> his intentions are to do what he has done before and that is to get away with his behavior and to walk away from his actions. >> reporter: for about two hours, smart recalled the nine months that she spent with mitchell and is estranged wife, wanda barzee. smart said mitchell kidnapped her from her home at knife point in 2002, kept her tied up in the mountains, drugged her, raped her daily and threatened to kill her family if she ran away. >> i had no idea what she had gone through so much out there. >> reporter: she remembered the day she was rescued when a woman saw smart on the street with mitchell and barzee and

called police. smart called mitchell evil, wicked, manipulative and selfish and said he used religion to justify the sexual abuse. >> is he somehow malingering or faking something or does he believe what's in the book of icia. >> mitchell was not in the courtroom at the same time as smart. elizabeth smart is currently a student at brigham young university. next month she enters a missionary training program and will soon travel to paris to spread the word of the mormon church. she said she's excited about her mission. just a horrifying situation she came through but she has come through as a very poised 21- year-old. >> she really has. >> i'm sure it's got to be difficult to testify, but it's good for her to testify so that everyone concerned can hear everything and let that factor into their decision. >> reporter: initially she had wanted mitchell be in the

courtroom. put a mussel on him. put a muzzle on him. >> thank you. appreciate it. a home invasion of the furry kind. beary furry. a woman finds a bear inside her home. her only weapon, a pillow. how this one ended next. plus he's one of the most controversial film makers of all time. up next, michael moore joins us live to talk about his new film "capitalism: a love story. "back in a minute.

the choice in this election for governor is really pretty simple: do we move virginia forward by continuing the pro-business economic polics that i helped put in place... or do we go backwards with the failed economic approach that ruined our economy? creigh deeds kws keeping taxes low and controlling spending is the right way to keep virginia the best place to do business. and i agree. because rebuilding confidence in our economy starts with responsible leadership from a new governor like creigh deeds.

that is film maker michael moore in his latest movie called capitalism: i love

story. he tries to track down the big ucks. it's movies like this one that has made michael moore so popular and so controversial. he is bound to make some new friends and perhaps some new enemies with this movie. it opens today. joining us now from los angeles, film maker michael moore. good morning. what a pleasure it is to talk to you. >> oh, thanks, allison. thanks for having me on. >> well, this movie couldn't have come really at a better time. a lot of folks are out there hurting and people are looking for answers, why did this happen. this movie really takes a good look at capitalism and the the downsides and the direct correlation with what's going on right now. tell us about it. >> yeah, it's also about how our government there, our elected politicians in washington, d.c., are the enablers of a very broken system. it's been a year since the crash, and congress has not enacted one single regulation to rein wall street back in and to make sure this doesn't happen again. so guess what, it is going to

happen again because nothing -- the banking lobby is so strong in d.c., they just get their way. of course they don't want any rules put on them. they just want to run amuck, take our money and give each other bonuses and play around with it, gamble with it in their virtual casino that they run on wall street. it's absolutely crazy that we allowed this to happen. and i'm just waiting for people to go, okay, that's it, sorry. no more of this. >> the outrage level definitely does seem to be high because as we talked about people are definitely hurting. we just had the unemployment numbers come out now. but still, though, when you say capitalism and that's our form of governmentdo you still fi resistance, though, when you take a hard look at the system and maybe the shortfalls of it from people that you spoke with in middle america? >> well, in middle america, let me tell you, you know there's a foreclosure filing in this country right now once every 7 1/2 seconds? 7 1/2 seconds.

every 7 1/2 seconds somebody loses their home. how long do you think that can continue before it reaches a tipping point? before people just say, okay, that's it. i'm not taking this anymore. ion't want to wait until that point happens, because i'm not so sure it's going to be such a pretty sight. so we should take heed right now and fix this. we have decimated the middle class. we've stolen the american dream from so many people that worked very, very hard just to get by, take care of their family. now they're filled with fear and anxiety. nobody knows if they're going to have a job next year. nobody knows if they're going to have a pension, anything. it's just -- you know, if we were living in canada or britain or france or sweden or spain or italy, we wouldn't have any of this going on. why do we allow this to happen? we're smarter than this. we're better than this. and i just -- i'm insisting that we get our congress to get

on board with what the american people want. >> all right. well, a lot of people agree with that and we will see how the movie is received when it does open up today. it's "capitalism: a love story "and this is film maker michael moore. thanks very much. >> oh, andy the way, it's a comedy. >> very good. thank you so much. nice way to end because it is so big and people feelings run so deep and we're looking for answers. tucker barnes is here to tell us what's going on with our weather across the region. not too bad. >> not too bad temperature- wise. we've got a lot of clouds to start the day, but if you hang in there, there will be more and more peeks of sun today. >> it's a beautiful day. >> it's always a beautiful day on a friday. >> which might be my favorite weather song. >> we've got to go to facebook, allison. >> tell us, because we're going to talk about that monday morning. >> never mind. >> some of the headlines, mix of sun and clouds out there

today. more clouds this morning. 8 more in the way of sunshine this afternoon. although, as mentioned, it will be a mostly cloudy day here. emperatures are going to be warmer, into the 70s later afternoon. we were only in the 60s yesterday so it's going to feel better than yesterday. showers, looks like overnight tonight into the first part of tomorrow. if you want to make plans to be out there tomorrow, weekend plans to be outdoors, it's not going to rain all day but best chance is during the morning hours and maybe a thunderstorm during the afternoon. saturday looks a little better so it's not going to be a washout although we will have a chance for showers in the forecast for the first part of the weekend. by the way, sunday looks great. sunday looks sunny with temperatures in the 70s. all right, let's see. 59 at reagan national. we'll starting that warm-up process. 60 at this hour in baltimore. still cool off to the north and west. 55 in frederick, 53 in hagerstown. it is cooler out there where the cloud cover is a little thicker. watch the clouds move in during the overnight hours. you can really see them there and they are lowering and thickening out to the west.

>> here's the connection. halderman lives with a woman who worked as an assistant to the tv show host. he sent letterman a package with a letter that threatened to go public about letterman's private life. letterman went to the police. they set up a sting operation. his attorney wrote a fake check and that's when police arrested him. an amazing and daring rescue caught on camera. it's the story of this man who risked his own life to help save the life of a child from a burning building. it's a story you don't want to miss. plus some of you recognize him as a member of peter, paul and mary. others as an accomplished children's author. peter yarrow joins us live and he will perform for us coming up. ♪ the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind ♪ ♪ the answer is blowing in the wind ♪ now let's take a look at today's trivia question. what is the longest movie ever

we're going to just rough cut them. you don't want to chop them because these are just too beautiful. if you see some dirt on them, this is a wonderful tool to have, a mushroom brush. go through and just try to move out some of the dirt, although these are in really good shape. this is an oyster mushroom which is a completely different shape. but if you want to go ahead and we'll start by sauteeing a little shallot, which i love. >> reporter: regular italian olive oil in the pan there. >> shallot ares great. they're a cross between a onion and a garlic. go ahead and take these if you would, holly, and add them to the pan here. >> reporter: add all of these that you've cut up? >> yep. >> reporter: okay. is that low heat, medium heat? >> medium to high heat. you have to keep an eye on them because you don't want to overcook them. >> reporter: they cook quickly? >> they do cook quickly and if you overcook them you'll lose all the moisture out of them and have a little what's left

is not as chewy and meaty as what you want. we're going to do that as a saute. add some thyme. >> reporter: man, i wish you guys could smell this. really fraying rant. >> fresh thyme from my garden in northwest washington. so you can grow lots of great things in the city as well as outside of the city. >> reporter: absolutely. as you continue to do that, i want to bring in leslie because she is with brookside and she's going to talk a little bit. tell us about i know this is going on sunday but brookside celebrating its 40th anniversary all year long. you have lots of things going on right now. >> that's right, we to. as a matter of fact, next friday our fall lecture series starts and the lectures are free. it's every friday. we'll have topics ranging from brookside's marvelous trees to tantalizing tulips to hollies for the maryland gardens. >> reporter: and sheas a little sherry? >> that's right. >> reporter: so here's the best thing to do. from there you're going to add
