so it's getting better. one man who is very excited about all of that, tucker barnes is keeping an eye on our weather for today. hey, tucker. >> good morning. i've only seen one episode but i look forward to seeing more this season. high temperatures once again in the upper 70s to about 80 and that's after a cool start this morning. a lot of 40s on the map. particularly the north and west this morning. 48 in frederick. 54 in winchester. 54 in hagerstown. 60 here in downtown washington and a little warmer closer to the bay. patuxent naval air station 59 degrees. a lot of sunshine in the forecast and humidity will stay relatively low today as we continue to be under the influence of a big area of high pressure. there is your satellite radar. very quiet conditions. a few clouds out to the west, maybe a scattered shower or thunderstorm late in the day tomorrow but in front of that more nice weather, and just about 80 degrees. winds out of the north and east at 5 miles per hour.

more details on the forecast. we are going to warm up and it will feel like summertime for the first day of fall. figure that one out. those details coming up. tony and allison, back to you. the big story this morning, distracted driving. a crackdown on drivers using phones behind the wheel is underway. >> in fact there is a distracted driving summit happening today in the district. sarah simmons is live in northwest with the details. >> good morning. set it get under way here. they are going to talk about ways to crack down on cell phone driving and try to deter people. earlier ray la hood was saying to both of you that actually enforcement is the way to go about doing this because that is the key here and that is what they've been doing this morning in the mt. vernon square here in d.c. if you look at video during this rush hour time period, they have been

pulling people over who they found texting and driving and giving those folks tickets. and that was going on from 7:00 to 9:00 this morning. and in d.c. you know that ban is in place on using your cell phone, unless you have a hands- free device. ray la hood addressed the fact earlier on fox 5 morning news that there are other distractions out there. he does admit that. but considers cell phones to be far worse. >> it's an epidemic with cell phone use and blackberries because everybody has them and think they can do that everywhere they go, whether in church or at work or whether it's on street or behind the wheel. we know there are other distractions, the epidemic is because everybody has a cell phone or blackberry and they think they can drive safely while doing it and of course

you can't. >> reporter: and the recent statistics about distracted driving and the deaths that have occurred. they say the numbers have jumped from 10-16% and that's between 2005 and 2009. as you know in d.c. there are the ban on holding your cell phone. also texting. texts is also banned in virginia and maryland as well. but at this point there is a patch-work of different laws around the country and the secretary mentioned that they are in the process in the senate, there are some bills moving through that, one that has come out of committee, one to push through to avoid the patch work of laws around the area because they do believe this is a serious epidemic to be addresses. i'm sarah simmons. back to you. >> sarah, thank you so much. in other news, the senate votes to lead to the repeal of the ban on openly gay service

members. we get information from stacy cohan live on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning. it is september and there is a lot going on here on capitol hill. and this is its big talker of the day. the don't ask, don't tell policy, the policy that allows gays to serve in the military, but not openly. it was passed back in 1993. that's when bill clinton was here in office. it is part of a larger military authorization bill that is set to be voted upon in the senate today. now there was a news conference where leaders were urging senators not to pass it, saying it could put some military men and women in awkward situations but some openly game former service members disagree. >> i wanted to serve my country and i'm able to and it makes no sense that you are charging me based on orientation. >> when i joined the army, i was open relatively to my

peers. everyone knew and it's not a problem whatsoever. >> it's a threat that the military is going to force other members of the military to be silent on their condition. >> what is most offensive is that the military is being used to advance a social policy. that should not happen. >> reporter: don't ask, don't tell has been controversial since the moment it was passed and adding to the controversy, lady gaga is coming out to support don't ask, don't tell. she spoke in front of a crowd in portland, maine, yesterday, urging the two senators in that state to support the repeal of don't ask, don't tell. one is considered very beautiful to the code seeing that the only republicans would be voting would be suzanne collins. now the house of representatives already passed the repeal back in may. today democrats will need 60 to vote in favor of this in order

to conquer a filibuster threat by republicans. live on capitol hill, tony, back to you. >> that iy. -- stacy, thank you very much. and the taliban is claiming they shot down a helicopter but nato disputes that, saying there was no enemy fire in the area. nine american soldiers died in the crash in southern afghanistan but two people survived, an afghan soldier and an american civilian. it is the deadliest chopper crash for coalition troops in four years. so far this year 525 coalition soldiers have been killed in afghanistan. more than the 504 killed last year. staying with war in afghanistan, a once trusted colleague of osama bin laden is now cast he'sing him for continuing to wage war. nome and benodman is believed to have been present when the

attacks were first discussed and now why is he breaking that. and now fascinating subject here. good morning to you. and tell us how does this gentleman fit in with osama bin laden. >> back in the 80s and 90s, a group of young men got together in afghanistan to fight the russians. they call themselves the mutha hadeem. he was one of the organizers and managed to defeat the russians and send them back after ten years of hard fighting. in that process, osama bin laden joined the fight and they fought together and became friends. ben acman was part of the libian islamic fighting group and was the larger of the groups that were fighting in that area during that time and

he was essentially one of the grandfathers, if you will, of that movement. so osama bin laden actually learned from him. so they pain tained a fairly close relationship over time but he broke from the group and denounced terrorism and told osama bin laden you are going to make a huge mistake because they are going to get after you and a lot of innocent muslims will get cools in the process. and that's what the letter addressed just before the 9/11 anniversary this year. saying look you have another chance to do this. you need to take it seriously. >> in that letter he is calling for a cease fire, if you will. what is the reaction? has he heard back from people close to him? and we all asked here, how is he able to get a letter? can he tell us where osama bin laden is so we can end this. but first things first, why is

this made public. >> it's an open letter. and the reason for sending the letter was in the minds of some in the intelligence community it was to reach out to muslims who might be on the fence about this whole al-qaeda situation where they decided some years ago they're going to fight the west to the death until the west leaves all muslim countries. those people supporting them with money or ideologically, they are hoping to push them away. but the letter was published through the killian foundation. and i don't know if he can reach osama bin laden directly. there are people out there in the jihadist community of which benockman is a big part. people look up to him and follow him and what he said. and he does still have some

left over go-betweens or contacts. >> he's got some credibility. >> yes. and still have some form of contact with osama bin laden, if it's nothing more than just supporting the organization. but let's be clear, that community is very small. and with the advent of the internet they can communicate with each other and no one would know how or when or when. >> and any evidence of this? >> i'm spoken with some national security council, former c.i.a. type people and they say it would be suicide for osama bin laden to essentially engage in a cease fire because this is not the type of business from this which you can call a cease fire. it is a situation where he is in this to the death just based on his previous actions and if were to declare a cease fire, he would be killed or in the

process. but what this letter has done, it's lullly made people think -- it's made people think and menockman has herd that people are frustrating with osama bin laden and him. because he has not been able to deliver a worldwide opinion of what he wanted to do but instead a lot of innocent blood has been shed. >> fascinating stuff. as we started this interview off. jj green from wtop radio. >> thank you. >> thank you. testing on one college campus is raising concerns of racial discrimination. we're talking sickle cell disease. and coming up next we'll talk with one football coach who has experience with athletes suffering from the disease. and then later this hour, fertility foods. are you trying to have a baby?

the fda continues hearings today on proposed genetically engineered salmon. aqua advantage salmon was created by a massachusetts company and contained a added growth hormone to allow it to grow twice as fast as regular fish. officials will look into whether it would have to be labeled as genetically modified if it gets the greep light. it could be in a store near you in in two years and could open the door for genetically engineered animals, such as a pig or cattle resistent to mad cow disease. a small bed bug infestation that turned up in a library in

urbana. a library worker founds bugs in a book. the books were heated to 120 degrees to kill the bugs. >> i've been here eight years and i've never heard of this. my director has been in the library business his entire career and never heard of this either. >> i think it's disgusting and i hope that they don't come into my house. >> all eight county libraries are being sprayed just in case any of the tainted books wind up elsewhere in the system. a new plan to test athletes for the sickle cell trait is raising eyebrows and leaving some to question whether the idea is racially motivated since a majority of those with sickle cell are african- american. others in the sports arena say it's sensible and it doesn't mean anybody with sickle cell will be side lines. joining us on the phone is floyd keith, former college football coach and now executive director of black coaches and administrators. he has personal experience with

athletes who have died from complications brought on by sickle cell anemia. keith, are you there? >> i am. >> and there is talk about this and we want details. you are spearheading this as a matter of fact. first tell us why you are so involved and tell us about your personal experiences. >> i think any time a situation becomes relevant to you and you've had a experience with the issue, it becomes very special to you. i had the occasion in 1974 and then again in 1986 to see the effects and complications of sickle cell trait and the results of the reaction from

strenuous exercise and both being in a preseason conditioning event. and when you've attended funerals for two players, 12 years apart, and the studies that initiated from 1974 and then when you see the same scenario repeat itself in 1986, you understand that one death is too many. and that if we turn away and we say, well, i don't to know or i don't want to know if i have the trait or what -- regardless of whether there is a percentage of one demographic group or those showing higher percentages or not, information beats ignorance and i really

believe that we should be proactive rather than reactive. and reactive in this ase is trying to curb the events that are triggered from an unfortunate complication of things that are a result of exercise and having the trait. so to me i think this makes perfect sense. >> what do you say to those who have raised the concern that because the vast majority of people with this trait or with sickle cell disease are african- american, that obviously it's going to target that audience and you'll be sitting these players down and telling them that they can't take part in their chosen sports because of their disease. what do you say to those folks? >> well i don't think there is a case that you can't

participate because i instituted when i became a head coach -- actually i was a head coach at howard university at one time for about four years. and then after i became the het coach at the university of rhode island and subsequently after our experience at indiana. we instituted the test. every player that was of color, and then eventually we did it with every athlete. which is the case right now as of august 1. and all i can say to anybody about having to sit down and have a conversation about the trait they should have to sit down and have a conversation with the participants of a student athlete and tell them the ultimately bad news. >> and my understanding is that you can alter a players training program to compensate for this so they can still

participate? >> oh, yes, tony. as a matter of fact, any time the trait showed up in my testing with our student athletes, we had a conditioning program which we put into play which was a graduated and elevated intensity from degrees, and if i remember correctly, ours was anywhere from 4-5 days in the preseason. and we had no effects. none whatsoever. >> okay. >> and i -- i mean, that to me is certainly a lot better. you're going to be able to participate and do what you need to do, rather than have to have the other conversation. >> very good. our time is short, so we have to leave it there. floyd keith, thank you for taking the time to explain it to us. it is good to hear from you. thank you. >> tony, my pleasure.

bat toll get a good education in a system that is said to be broken. d.c. public school chancellor michelle rhee gets a lot of face time. >> you look at what has happened in american public education over the last 20 years, we have gone from number one in a lot of different respects to absolutely at the bottom amongst developed nations. >> the president of the american federation of teachers not happy about what she called an inaccurate portrayal of sub- par teachers and villans. i got a chance to sit down with the director to talk about why he made this film. >> i have my own kids and i drive my three kids in los angeles past three public schools on the way to take my kids to a really great school. and it haunts me that the kids in my neighborhood don't have what my kids have. and why can't we give every kid in america -- why can't we give

every kid in america a great education. >> that's the million dollar question and that's why he said the system is just waiting for superman to help. the documentary will hit select theaters in l.a. and new york and then expand nationwide, including here in d.c., in october. >> a lot of people will see that movie. it's getting a lot of attention. >> i saw it and it will make you want to do something and open your eyes to not just what the other kids have to deal with, what all of the kids are dealing with. this hour we're taking a closer look at some parking problems for the disabled. straight ahead on fox 5, watch what happens when a man has trouble finding a wheelchair accessible spot and who is to blame may surprise you. and then glee kicks off the season 2 premier tonight. we'll hear from some of the newest cast members. stay with us. it's 9:27. ring ring. progresso.

tony and allison, back to you at the desk. >> tucker, thank you very much. more now on our investigation into handicapped parking. imagine taking a spot away from somebody who needed it because you didn't want to dent your car. >> that is one of the excuses. tisha thompson got excuses when she asked people why they were pulling into the spots reserved for handicapped parking. now we'll see what happens when someone who really needs the space shows up. >> reporter: it's 10:00 in the morning and lee page can't find a parking space near the entrance to the branch avenue metro station. for most drivers it's a nuisance to park so far away. for lee it's a very real problem. >> i sustained a spinal cord injury back in 1983 when i was in a car wreck. >> reporter: lee said there are two types of accessible parking: regular handicap

spaces and van ache isible with extra wide aisles so drivers in wheelchairs can get out of their van. >> for a van with a side lift you need a lot of space because there have been many times where i've been able to get out and come back to my parking space and a -- a car has parked closely. i've had to ask strangers to back my car up or go inside and wait until that owner of the car comes out. >> reporter: and there is roughly one space for every row of handicapped parking but they are often the first to go. around 5:00 a.m. this man told us he needed disabled parking because of his legs and back. >> and we noticed that you parked in the van accessible spot and those were meant with wheelchairs. were you aware of that. >> no. >> reporter: and joyce said she has problems with her back and knees. >> i never paid attention to be

honest with you. i noticed the handicapped sign. i just park when i see a handicap sign. i never saw that before. >> reporter: and james hopkins told us he knows the spaces are meant for van lifts. >> i'm aware, but also parking on this end stops me from getting dents in my vehicle. >> that's disappointing and irritating. >> reporter: and more than anyone, other disabled drivers should know how important it is to protect spaces for those who really need them. >> i understand there are other vehicles that can use that space. i'm not saying it's reserved specifically for me but it is reserved for those who drive vans with lifts. >> reporter: tisha thompson, fox news. >> that brings it home when you see someone suffering because of your choices. the problem could be fixed if

metro would crackdown. they said metro police can have to prove the placards have to belong to them and if not they can be confiscated. but metro said they don't do that kind of enforcement. is one of the most famous structures in our country about ready to fall apart. we're talking about a tourist site that you love. it's the st. louis arch. and so what has engineers concerned. and terrifying moment for a crowd. what caused this riser to collapse. fox 5 morning news will be right back. ce did you know
