care about black people. >> i didn't appreciate it then and i don't appreciate it now. it's one thing to say i don't appreciate the he doesn't handle his business, it's another thing to say he's racist. i don't approve of it. >> he considered dropping dick cheney as a running mate in 2004. >> it was a thought but it never came close to happening because cheney had become a lightning rod and better him than bush. >> and we asked customers at a mclean bookstore, when politicians write books, what is more important, the policy or the personal? >> they are looking for the dirt and have to live through that, it's like reality tv. i hate it. >> for a book like that, i think you're more interested in the personal stuff. you've seen the policy that comes out. >> i'm interested in the politics and the policies, but for something like that i would be more interested in personal. >> former president bush

it is 7:30 right now as we take a look at the capitol. it looks great in the sunshine on this tuesday morning. it's november 9th, temperature in the 40s but if it's like yesterday with no clouds in the

sky, it will be pretty. >> that's perfect fall weather. tony perkins joining us again. you still have the cough, on this gorgeous day? >> much better than i used to be. as far as my health goes. everything else, not so much. current temperatures around the region, 46 degrees here in the district. 43 in gaithersburg. manassas is at 45. it's quite consistent across the area and temperatures not as cold as yesterday. there are some spots in the 30s. frederick is at 39 and martinsberg is at 36. we've been talking about the winds. let me show you the winds in a moment. first it's 41 degrees in new york, cape hatteras 53 and not bad there. winds across the region. we are seeing increased winds but they are not terrible. 10 miles per hour in washington. 5 in baltimore. 9 at dulles, 13 at patuxent naval air station. but in d.c. or at reagan national the winds have been gusting now up to about 18 miles per hour. so there is that breeziness i told you about. a breeze with periodic gusts of

wind today up to about 20, maybe 25 miles per hour. satellite radar composite for the region, things are quiet around here. we have a couple of clouds moving through, that is about it. skies mostly clear and they will be mostly clear today. the active weather is up in new england where we still have that area of low pressure bringing clouds there. and some rain but not as much precipitation as they were getting yesterday. we talk about our windy conditions because we have the low to the north and east. the high off to the west. and the combination of those two forces wind to come down this corridor through the western portions of the northeast and mid-atlantic and we're in the middle of that and that's why we talk about the gustiness later on. forecast for washington for today looks like this, a lot of sunshine, breezy this afternoon and 61 degrees is close to normal. normal for today would be 60 degrees. a few clouds around tonight, 43 degrees for the overnight low in town. i think we'll see more 30s tomorrow morning than this morning.

five-day forecast looks like this: tomorrow mostly sunny and 60, very nice. the rest of the week looks great too with highs generally speaking around 60 degrees and plenty of daytime sunshine. that's a look at what is happening with the weather. now let's get an update on traffic with julie wright. tony, no accidents to report right now on the top stretch of the beltway. whatever they were looking for near colesville has cleared and the lanes are open once again. along 270, gridlocked leaving germantown toward mva and more slow traffic approaching the lane divide. 355 slow into gaithersburg. 395 on the brakes, beltway up toward duke street. boundary channel drive over the 14th street bridge, down tain the lanes are open over the anacostia bridges. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. the president continues his trip through asia with a stop today in indonesia. yesterday the president was in

india. on the docket, dancing, talking of diplomacy and democrats. wendell goler reports from new delhi. >> reporter: a formal dinner capped the president's longest visit to a foreign country, a trip he was interested in focus on jobs. in mumbai he told college students he'll have to sell a republican controlled house on the change he promised two years ago. >> it requires me to make some mid-course corrections and adjustments and how those play themselves out over the next several months will be a matter of me being in discussions with the republican party. >> reporter: toward that end mr. obama this weekend announced new experts of boeing, military and civilian planes and harley davidson motorcycles and other products totaling billions of dollars and supporting more than 50,000 jobs. the indians 1.2 billion people have a economy growing at 10%

each year but they lack electricity. they want what u.s. is selling. >> america is a home of high technology. we need that technology to upgrade our skills both in the civilian sector and also in the defense sector. >> reporter: in a peach to the parliament, the president endorsed the country's long held desire to stand beside china on the global stage. >> i look forward to a reformed united nations counsel and that includes india. >> reporter: and the president called on pakistan to bring to justice those behind the 2008 terrorist attacks in mumbai. he stayed at one of the hotels attacked and visited a memorial to the victims but he declined to criticize pakistan in his speech that day. wendell goler, fox news. >> and yesterday the president did call for better relations

with the two countries. for more we're joined by sabrina dejuan from the center for american progress. >> thank you. >> first let's talk about the general meetings between the two nations. this is the longest stop on the president's tour of asia and he was making a priority to spend as much time in india as possible. why is that important to continue the relations? >> i think that's a great question, steve. and it's not just the longest trip on this tour but the longest trip that he's spent in a foreign country of his career so far as president. india is a very important country for us, both in terms of national security but also in terms of economics and it's very important that moving forward we deepen this relationship with india as a strategic partner. >> what are some of the things they are trying to improv upon and i know your focus is on economics so let's start there. >> absolutely. i think there is expressing

concern for everybody in america is how to create jobs for average middle class americans. and we need to start thinking in global terms. america is part of the global economy, india is an emerging market that is just bursting on to the global stage and india is a potential market for our products and services going into the future and we need to think about our exports as an engine for job creation and india is the potential country where consumers can buy our exports. >> what is the history been when it comes to imports and exports with india and how might that change is the president accomplishes his goals there? >> india has had very high rates of economic growth. and i think that's crucial because if it can continue to grow at the rate it's been growing at for the last 30 years then it's a potential market for our product and

service and they have a high rate of consumption. we do have a trade deficit with india but there is a chance going forward to change that as the country continues to grow. and president obama really understands that, which is why he's putting so much emphasis on india right now. >> including during his stop there taking part in an entrepreneur round table and what types of ideas are they looking for there. >> that's critical because the entrepreneurs round table is a way of harnessing the model that they have. they have all of these young entrepreneurs doing very interesting things to provide social services through the use of technology and we can look at how their innovation works and we have an opportunity to supply their entrepreneurs with our technology. and it comes back to exports and creating jobs here at home as we supply them with their technology and it's a win-win for both countries. >> now on the flip side there

are those that are critics here in the country that say we're sending outsourcing to india, whether it be jobs or product? how do you counter that and make sure those jobs are not lost from this country to go overseas? >> and that's a critical question. i think that in my view, the jobs -- the idea that we're losing jobs to these countries are a little simplified. we are definitely losing jobs to some -- some jobs to these countries but we're also gaining in terms of exporting to those countries. and the critical point to remember here is that we need to focus on our own competitiveness. americans, we need to -- america and our government needs to focus on building a skilled labor force, on investigating in innovation and r&d here, research and development, so we can enhance our competitiveness and be

competitive with india and china on the social stage. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. coming up on fox 5 morning news, do you see anything familiar here? one company does. coming up in the next hour, why walgreens is suing wegman's? and coming up next, donovan mcnabb said the hamstring that led to his benching is feeling better. what about the other benching rumors? we'll hear from redskins head coach mike shanahan next.

for the latest headlines click on the sports tab on myfoxdc.com. >> i wonder what happened to his gut when it didn't work and pay off? >> i wonder how much wind got taken out of the cowboys season the first week of the season. that started a downward spiral. >> just remember that. >> all right. what do you want to talk about? >> i got to ask this question last time. what would you like to talk about? >> i'll just let tony talk about. >> we'll listen to you talk. >> i do have good news. current temperatures around the region. >> can't stand the pressure. >> i know, i'm sorry. 46 degrees in washington. check out roanoke, 57 degrees there. that's nice. new york city is 44. and in norfolk it's 50 degrees at this hour. pittsburgh 29. cold there. here is your surface map. it blanked out on us. >> must be foggy. >> real foggy. we'll go to the final graphic

the election was one week ago today. but still no winner in virginia's 11th district congressional race between gerry connelly and keith fimian. that could change today. we're live outside of the board of elections. and then former president bush's book is getting a lot of buzz. it calls decision point. it's featuring 14 decisions he was forced to make.

the book goes on sale today and we have a look inside into and also ahead this hour. buddy castro coming to d.c. is going to live in studio this hour. thanks for being with us. i'm steve chenevey. >> and i'm allison seymour. the big show just rolls on. tony perkins here with us now. >> not a bad start to the day outside. temperatures in the 40s. sunrise was good and pretty this morning. so we have a good day on tap. here is a look at what is happening right now with the current temperatures around the region. 46 in the district and at patuxent naval air station. and in fredericksberg. 45 in winchester. ocean city is at 42 degrees. your satellite radar composite looks like this. skies are pretty much clear. for the most part clear skies. weather system off the coast of new england producing some clouds. a little bit of precipitation inest earn portions of new

england. and that's about it. for us it just means wind moving in here later today. so the forecast for today looks like this: we'll see a lot of sunshine and still breezy this afternoon. winds could gust up to 20 miles per hour. look for a high near 61 degrees today, near our normal high of 60. >> i like being above average. >> at least one degree. >> yes. let's check in with julie wright to check on traffic. >> above average? i keep looking up at it. on the roads we're trying to recover. 66 went south early on. the crash at 28 centreville is gone but traffic still jammed up off gainesville. and 295 traffic slowing at the beltway, again at the 11th street bridge. the crash in southeast along

good hope road. stay to the left to get through. meanwhile traveling 395 past duke street and toward shirlington, heavy, slow and steady. traffic slow again over the inbound 14th street bridge. westbound 66 approaching sycamore street, crash in the left lane with delays from south run. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. winner of the race in the virginia's 11th congressional district may be known today. keith fimian is expecting to concede. sarah simmons is following this outside of the fairfax county board of elections with a closer look this morning. sarah? >> reporter: it has been a contentious race and everybody has been wondering since last tuesday what will happen here. but it appears as though keith fimian is expected to concede today to this incumbent. the camp said they will release a statement and saying what

they are intensions are but the post is reporting at this point that he will concede. of course state election will yous also allow fimian, because the margin is so close here, to ask for a recount. this is how close it is. these are the unofficial results. they won't be certified until november 22nd. but you can see connelly winning here in a small margin, is nearly 1,000 votes is the spread here. and it appears connelly has held off fimian once again. the two ran for the same seat two years ago. connelly won by 12 points but this time though this race was much closer. he was one of the key democrats that appears to have been able to hold on to his seat here in three others lost to their republican challengers last week. connelly meanwhile, you probably heard about this, was hospitalized last week and has since been released. his condition was kept quiet

until yesterday. a campaign spokesman said while the congressman was visiting his doctor he was hospitalized for a blood clot in an artery. now connelly had a victory speech last week but we are waiting to hear from the fimian camp since the ball is in their court of their intentions and then after that we expect to hear from gerry connelly. back to you. >> thank you. and president obama is now in indonesia. the second stop on his trip toisha. he arrived at the presidential palace a little while ago and is getting treated to a state dinner. he spent four years in indonesia as a boy but said he hardly recognizes the country. >> much has been made of the fact that this marks my return to where i lived as a young boy. i will tell you, though, that i barely recognize it as i was driving down the street.

the only building that was there when i first moved to chicago was sorena. now it's one of the shorter buildings on the road. >> the president also called the relationship with indonesia a comprehensive partnership, his words there. the white house said the president will probably have to cut short his stop because of the volcano. there are concerns that volcano ash could effect air force one. there was a major eruption last friday. so far the volcano has killed 153. former president george w. bush memoir goes on sale today. in it he's defending some of his most controversial decisions. >> let's get more from jim angle. >> reporter: the president lays out 14 decision points in his own book, many of them forced

on him by events. earliest terrorists launched the worst attack in our history, the day now known as 9/11. .war against terrorists or those who help him defined the rest of the intelligence. and then came with the car in iraq. there was an effort to contain saddam hussein's push for a massive weapons program, including nuclear. and he told sean hannity he was shocked when none was found. >> extremely frustrated. everything thought he had bmd and everybody in the intelligence. >> a lot of democrats said it? >> a lot of democrats in

congress. >> reporter: dick cheney wanted the president to commute the sentence. the jury verdict should be respected vote. i informed dick i would not issue a pardon. the vice president was not happy. he stared at me with an intense look, mr. bush writes. i can't believe you're going to leave a soldier on the battlefield, he said. and one of the biggest responsibilities was the response to hurricane katrina. in mississippi 80 miles of coastline had been obliterated. president bush called kathleen blanco, what is going on in new orleans, he asked. the mayor had not ordered a mandatory evacuationch the mayor has to order people to leave and that's the only way they'll listen. call him and tell him. the mayor finally did. but when the flooding came, the

federal government couldn't help unless asked. he was stalk with an antiquated law and i wanted to overrule them all but at the time i worsed it could be a constitutional crisis. but right or wrong the bush administration got most of the blame. it is said it eroded things in government and cast a cloud over his second term. jim angle, fox news. >> you can see the interview with the former tonight at 9:00 on fox news channel. and 9 minutes past the hour. we'll check on more headlines coming up. >> and that includes the status of the case for elizabeth smart. and all charges have been dropped against a dc nightclub employees. many are being asked how this could happen. we look at this case when we come back.

8:12 right now. let's look at stories making headlines this tuesday morning. prince george's county investigators are at an apartment complex in landover looking for clues in an early morning killing. a man was found shot to death at the building on buchanan street around 3:45 this morning. one teenager is dead and another hospitalized after a shooting in north east d.c. along holbrook street in the trinidad neighborhood. we do know the teen who died was between 16 and 18 years old. the survivor is 17 years oldch the gunman is still on the loose. elizabeth smart took the stand for the first time in this federal kidnapping trial. she told the jury mitchell snatched her so she could join him in a celestial marriage. they threatened to kill her if she didn't go with him and repeatedly raped her during the

nine-month ordeal. and amanda knox now facing a new charge of. she's convicted of murdering her british roommate and was sentenced to 26 years in prison for the murder. and last hour we showed you a picture of calvin. we thought he was our one and only lizard viewer. >> check out this photo. war the water dragon is calvin's big brother. so it's all in the family. but he was up early this morning checking out tony's forecast. so maybe the camouflage comes from the tv. >> that is a hilarious photograph. look the at lizard -- excuse me, water dragon -- looking at the forecast. >> perhaps he's disappointed today. >> wouldn't it be funny if he jumped up and attacked the

skin. >> no. that wouldn't be funny. too close for comfort. thanks for sending that in. it's nice. it's photo final. >> with skin and hair? >> yes. my first 5 photo of the day. oh, he's a drummer. look at that. look at that little drum kid. >> isn't that cute. my son had one of those. and this is on his first birthday and his drum kit. you can tell they have a sense of music early. >> clearly because at one that's great. >> he looks like he has it down. brody, you rock out. to send us your child's picture go to myfoxdc.com and click on mornings. okay, let's go to the stats, right now.

our temperature has gone up to 48 degrees. relative humidity 52%. winds out of the northwest at 8 miles per hour. they are not gusting at this time. barometric pressure is on the rise. here is a look at the satellite radar composite for the nation. we have the weather in the northeast and new england, more rain showers and clouds and breezy conditions. out to the west there are clouds and rain in eastern portions of montana and wyoming. but in the pacific northwest even though there is just a little bit of activity there, they are will get some rainfall later on today. high today 61 degrees with a lot of sunshine. breezy. tomorrow not as breezy. mostly sunny and 60. thursday looks great. so does friday. so does saturday. and all of those days highs in the 60s and sunshine each day. now with another look at this morning's rush hour

traffic with julie wright. >> cars are telling me they're dragging a stalled car out of the road on route 50. across the wilson bridge, slowdowns as you continue to work through the local lanes leaving maryland in virginia. out of alexandria, no problems to report on 95. the pace is slow toward shirlington on 395 and then delays crossing over the 14th street bridge. 66, still tied up, 50-123 and after nutley street to the beltway. on the dulles toll road leigh dayize to the beltway. and outer loop slow to 95 avenue and 95 slowing from 198 out of laurel to the beltway. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. well at least 100 people took to the streets of d.c. yesterday demanding justice for a man who died outside of a d.c. nightclub. ali mohammed was alleged by beat to death by five employeize of the dc 9 bar. they were arrested. the charges against them went

from murder to aggravated assault but now they've been dropped. paul wagner is following this case. and we should say you're following the chandra levy case also. >> tomorrow we'll be back with chandra levy. >> and tell us the progression of this. >> this is what is important to know about this case. what happened outside of the dc 9 nightclub happened so quickly that when police arrived the five alleged people who took part in the beating were still there and so there were witnesses there to and they said they were the ones involved. and so police arrested them on the scene. that's called a probable cause arust. and it's not in conjunction with the u.s. attorney's office. and when you do have a murder in the city, the u.s. attorney's office is consulted and they come up with an arrest warrant and they know the

results from the medical escaper's office and they can say, yes, was this person killed or died of a gunshot wound. in this case they arrested the people and charged them with murder without knowing the results from the medical examiner. the medical examiner does an autopsy and said we can't determine how this person died. the case is still pending. so they drop the charges from murder down to aggravated assault and then they are supposed to good to a hearing this -- is supposed to go to a hearing this week and the prosecutors say we don't have the evidence to present to a judge that we have probable cause to continue. and had this gone to court, the judge would likely throw it out. >> if this person was beaten, it would seem that the physical wounds would be to charge them with something.

>> this is unusual. because you have process. this is a charging product. witness one watched defendants kick and stomp the victim on the head and body as defendant preller held the victim down. there is a second witness who said something similar. so you've got these witnesses saying that this happened, but the medical examiner is saying, i don't see it. we don't have that evident. so the medical examiner's office said the case is still pending and they're going to do toxicology tests to determine if there is some other explanation for his death. and this demonstration that we saw yesterday was highly unusual. in all of my years here i've never seen a demonstration like that. they wanted to come out and say they were going to put pressure on the u.s. attorney's office and not see this dropped and wanted to see charges refiled

in this case. >> the deceased man, the ethiopian immigrant, the community seemed to be strong and haunting words from the mom, "this is america. we want justice." might it be picked back up again with this same defense. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney has not stopped looking into their interests. but you have to have the evidence fit as a glove. if it doesn't fit they can't go forward. the medical examiner has to say yes, this is a homicide and this is how the person died. >> public perception not that great i would imagine from the people out there chanting that they want justice in this case. >> they were upset but people don't understand how the system works and what has to all come together. and everybody is angry and

upset but the u.s. attorney's office is saying let us continue to investigate this and we'll figure it out. >> thank you. >> thank you. it looks like metro may have known about the escalator problems weeks before the scary scene at the l'enfant plaza. and ten its photo week here. and so how to get your kids involved in art later on here on fox 5 morning news. so stay with us.

do my weather forecast. i'm all business now. temperatures in the upper 40s and we'll see highs later today in the low 60s, just like yesterday. so should be a comfortable day. a little less windy than yesterday as well. although even with that wind, it will still be nice out there. 48 at reagan national. 49 in quantico. frederick is 50 degrees. fredericksberg is 50 degrees. and in leonardtown 46. so very comfortable, nice looking start to the day. another beautiful november afternoon for us. if a little on the breezy side. the reason the breezes continue is this storm system continues to crank up there off the coast. not in any hurry to get out of here and we'll deal with breezy conditions. that being said, it would be worse. they're getting rain into southern new england. and high pressure will build in here and give us a nice workweek. we'll be looking at sunshine

here right through the beginning of the weekend. 8 mile-per-hour winds in washington. 10 at dulles, 14 at patuxent naval air station. and we'll watch the winds gust to 20 later today. a lot of sunshine today. bring along a jacket. it will feel cooler than that. bright sunshine throughout the week. highs where they should be, just about 60. and as we get into the weekend, it looks like we'll have plenty of sunshine on saturday. hopefully sunday too. and i want to let you know, both lillie tomlin and whoopi goldberg has won in the last decade. >> fine comedians there. thank you to your crack research. >> thank you. and some americans think there might be a repeal of the new national health care law. pollster scott rasmussen joins us now. thank you for joining us. >> great to be with you,

allison. >> let's start with health care. 46% say the law would be repealed and you broke it down into two different areas and do they think it will be repealed. so what they think and what they think is going to happen, tell us about the results here. >> 46% say it's somewhat likely to be repealed. 44% say probably not. those numbers are moving in the direction of favoring repeal over time. but when you really get right down to it, hardly anybody is sure. you have 14% who say it's very likely, 9% who say it's not at all likely. most people are unclear as to what will happen. the reality is 55% of americans would like to see it repealed and less think it's really going to happen. >> ateliers -- let's talk about the mid elections in general. and we've seen in the past

people wake up and say, what, that wasn't supposed to happen. or the hanging chad comes to mind. but in this poll it shows that voters think that the right people got into their right offices. tell us about it. >> 74% say that they think the votes were properly counted, the right candidates won. one out of four had the opposite view. and 17% said people who shouldn't have been allowed to vote, got to vote. 11% said there were people who should have voted that didn't get to. but by enlarge people were satisfied with the results nationally. any suspicious is when we go into states like minnesota or connecticut where they are having close recounts. >> and one thing is do not mess with the happy meals. we're talking about 82% of

americans saying don't touch a thing. were you surprised by this? tell us about the results. >> well i'm not surprised, allison. the american cultural icon happy meal is being challenged in san francisco where a law was passed by the city council to say you can't give away a toy with a meal unless it's nutritionally sound. 80% said it shouldn't be allowed. only 20% think it's any of the government's business and people believe it's the parent's responsibility to worry about what their kids eat and not the government. we're in a bad economy and people are concerned about more fundamental things and people are thinking why on earth is this an issue. >> ronald mcdonald might want to make a run for office, maybe it will translate for him. >> i'm not sure we want to poll on that one, but we'll consider it, allison. >> thank you very much.

i know you put the new ovens in and rearranged stuff and it's a small place and to have the cameras around, how different is that dealing with that aspect of it? >> it is hard. i ain't gonna lie. but the truth be told we're starting to expand and trying to do bigger things so we can facilitate everything. right now we're just dealing with it until we are all set. >> and we're looking at your cake decorations here. what is it like being a boss? is there some stuff you have to leave out because it doesn't play for tv well? are we seeing the real buddy? >> you see 90 hours of footage cut down to 22 minutes. you see a lot of buddy but not the whole buddy. and that's why i wanted to write this book because i wanted people to know my story. i call my book the unexpected because it's a great cook book, well baking book, and it tells story about cakes, but the truth is it's a story of how i

became the cake boss. it's a story of working in my father's legacy. my father lived the american dream like so many other people and it feels like a relatable book. >> and it's called stories and recipes from mi familia. and you lost your dad at a young age but he instilled a lot of values. >> i had 17 years of a father i wouldn't trade for anything. i had such a great father and he planted the seeds in me in just a way of life. when i started doing the show, i thought it would be a funny baking show and people would like it. i didn't think it would inspire people. but i get so many people who tell me that it inspires them. there was a troop over in afghanistan came to the bakery last week and said to me, your show was the only thing that reminded me of home and my

family and it was my escape every week. and i'm saying, this kid is 22, 23 years old fighting in a war zone for our freedom, for our country, which i take so sacred, and my stupid cake show makes him feel good, it meant the world to me. >> did you ever think you would do anything else. i know you started working in the shop as a kid? >> i knew i would be a baker and luckily when i was 14 years old i found it was my dream job because of the fact that i love doing the cakes and stuff. so it was really important for me to continue this tradition after my father and his legacy. >> you're doing a live show tonight. as we look at more cakes. an amazing one there. you're doing a live show tonight at the warner theater and tickets are still available. what do you get when you come to a live show? >> it is kind of the unexpected

too because you can take your 4- year-old or great grandmother. it's fast paced, it's fun. i call people on stage and cake decorate. and i'm a funny guy. >> and a book signing in wegman's today at noon. i keep expecting your mom to pop out and say what the heck are you doing? >> you're great. i appreciate it. thank you. >> again the book signing tonight and head out to warner theater. another 100 years for you at the bake shot. >> thank you. salute. it is now 8:54 and it is 48 degrees on this tuesday morning. tyler perry films are often big hits at the box office but his latest for color girls was not a hit with courtland malloy.
