law. a d.c. police chief's wife gets a ticket. >> do you think she gave him the look? >> oh, i'm sure she is. >> tucker is in the weather center. nobody is going to be mad at you, tucker. >> absolutely not because we're going to deliver for a change. should be a decent day today, less humidity, temperatures in the mid-70s. this is what we have been waiting for all months. we have quiet conditions through the area. it's not going to be a perfectly sunny day today but as that passes to our east, we'll see a return to sunshine this afternoon. should be very pleasant out there with temperatures expected to be in the mid-70s and the best part, less humidity than yesterday. currently, 623 degrees at reagan national. 61 in winchester, 61 for in you fredericksburg. here is the forecast for the day and, again, plenty of sunshine. partly sunny, little breezy at times as that front continues

to push east. 75 the daytime high in washington, 72 72 later we continue follow a developing story from overseas this morning. then american-born al-qaeda cleric was killed today in the mountains of yemen. andwar al-awlaki is believed to help koord knit tomorrow of the recent attacks on the u.s. including the christmas day 2009 bombing attempt. >> ten years ago, he ran a mosque in falls church. his radical online postings are also believed to have influenced major hasan nadal, the man accused in the fort hood rampage. joining us this morning is j.j. green. thanks for joining us on short notice. we appreciate that. >> what is the latest?

what are your sources telling you? >> it was a drone, a u.s. drone in yemen. it was earlier in the day. it is too early to have scientific confirmation that it was him supposedly because dna would have to be used but most likely a photo or something else that would give some reasonable representation of his likeness was used to essentially assure authorities that it was him and it's a big day for the u.s. and for yemen. >> i just want to say one thing. earlier reports were saying that yemeni forces but this was a u.s.-controlled drone? that means that the u.s. was involved in this operation? >> sure. >> the yemenis don't have drone capabilities that would be operated autonomously or without some kind of involvement from the u.s. >> how big is this? what does this mean? >> this is a temporary lobotomy

for the next generation of all al-awlaki was the next generation, using the internet, social media. very similar to what muhammad sheik muhammad was in the early nineties, that earliy rein racial of attacking the u.s. that's what al-awlaki meant to al-qaeda. that's a huge, huge loss for them at this point. we know when these things occur, alter hiss don't just drop their arms and say we give up. but between this and the kill earlier this year of osama bin laden, it seems like those who are fighting terrorists have made truly significant gain this is year. >> but it's just a chapter in a book. and we don't yet know how long

the book is. it is a time for authorities to understand that they have made some significant gains this year. but the interesting thing about this organization that i have learned from counter terrorism analysts and folks who are out there on the front lines is that there is always somebody else next in line. the problem is for al-qaeda and for terrorist organizations is that you can never replace the institutional knowledge so to speak. you can only pick up the pieces and move forward. some of the people who would take them forward have some bits and pieces of some of the things that they have learned and picked up from these previous people but they just don't have the connection. there is just not that person. >> it's like chop one head and another one grows. and the whole martyrdom like

that. >> one thing that al-awlaki was able to do as bin laden and other operatives have been able to do in the past is to essentially spur others to follow them. just think about the guy about the guy we were talking about yesterday, ferdaus, a young physics graduate from northeastern unfortunate who seemed to have a very bright life ahead of him who suddenly decides for some reason to be so severely radicalized that he throws his own life away in order to go after that dream of attacking the u.s. and killing americans. that's what folks like al- awlaki do. that's what people like them do in life. when they die, there are other people that are going to follow along feeling that kind of inspiration to follow in their food step, feeling that this is something that would be very beneficial to them and their lives in the long run.

>> all right. either way, very big news this among. j.j. green, thanks for coming in and talking to us about it from wtop. and more surveillance pictures released in the search for lenny harris. he was the man last seen outside a charles houston rec center in alexandria. investigators want you to see the white caravan and the people inside it. this was snapped around mid night september 22nd as one tried to use his atm cart. there is a reward being offered for information in this case. new this morning, police are investigating a sexual assault in arlington. a female jagger was attacked in the 2000 block of army-navy drive after 6:30. a suspect knocked the woman to

the ground, kicked her several times before sexually assaulting her. if you have any information in this case, you are asked to call arlington police d.c. police say they are close to identifying anyone involved in a fight in northwest washington that may have killed a george washington university. patrick casey was hit in the face outside of a mcdonald's causing him to fall and hit his head. he was declared brain dead tuesday, his body taken to the medical examiner yesterday for an autopsy police say that much of what happened was caught on surveillance cameras. they are not willing to say exactly what happened until the investigation is finished. casey was a veteran of the war in afghanistan. now to the trial of a grand mother accused of tossing her granddaughter from a walkway in tyson corner. a judge tossed a second jury. now there are no alternates.

dela rosa has been on various drugs after the dead of her father. she has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. a consumer alert to pass on now. it could cost you more to get money out of your bank account. >> bank of america has announced a new fee for card holders. sarah has more. >> debits cards are common and they are very convenient to use from hats and jewelry. you may use them for coffee and sandwiches. 2/3 of americans prefer to swipe with a deb quid card, not a credit card. but many bank of america customers will soon pay the price for. this starting early next year, the bank will charge a fee for using your debit card. customers will only be charged the $5. they will not be charged if they only use their cards at an atm. now the changes come as banks adjust to new regulations that will limit traditional revenue

sources. bank of america says it stands to start losing money october 1st when new caps go into effect on how much debit card issuers can charge merchants. >> people who don't like this should send the clearest message possible to the bank and take their money to a better bank or to a credit union. >> just used my debit card. that's ridiculous and uncalled for. >> there is no right or wrong because i use it every week. i have direct deposit. that's not fair. >> and other banks such as wells fargo and chase have been trying this idea out lately in select markets with a $3 monthly fee but neither bank has made a final decision on whether to make that fee permanent. now to the fees to just have an account. this week, sitsy bank sent letters to its customers saying monthly account paint man maintenance fees are going up. for example, , fees are jumping

up, unless you maintain a 6000- dollar balance. the number of free checking accounts are down. >> sarah, thank you. to a track alert now for drivers who use the capital beltway in northern virginia. starting this weekend, the left exit allowing inner loop drivers to exit on to westbound 66 will be permanently closed. it's still open this morning but it will likely shut down some time tomorrow. drivers will have to use a right exit that will be expanded two lanes to accommodate the additional traffic it will create. it is hard to believe but a new study reveals a disturbingly high number of teens in d.c. have apparently attempted suicide. coming up, we'll talk with a child and adolescent psychiatrist about some of the suicide warning signs and risk factors, too. it's an important topic that you need to hear and it's

coming up next. 9:00 ten. we'll be back in a minute. 

welcome back. we warned you that the contents of this next story may not be suitable for younger viewers. the suicide of 14-year-old jamie rotomeyer of new york was the latest to gain attention of journalists across the country and even mega star lady ga-ga. jamie hung himself outside of his home after being bullied about his sexuality. and people say we need to be careful about focusing too much. vulnerable youth could see this as portraying suicides is something that is admirable and sim pa they haddic. a frightening reality among d.c. students. the survey finds 10% of the

d.c. school system's 4000 eighth graders have attempted to kill themselves. the number who attempted suicide is double the national average. these are obviously disturbing statistics but there are some ways that you can help your teen if you think he or she is depressed or suicidal. for that and more, we turn to a child psychiatrist. thank you for coming in here. before we talk about the warning signs and all of this, i want to tell about this story that we just did with the view that talking about this in the media and some these deaths that get reported and get celebrity attention, that can be sending the wrong message to young people who are at risk. is that a serious concern? >> it certainly is. there is some evidence now that, depending upon how it's portrayed in the media, it's paramount when it comes to the

risk of copy cat suicide and when people see that, you know, families grieving and this has been major loss and, you know, actually there could be decreased risk of suicide. >> the numbers coming out of d.c., they are extraordinary, 10% of 8th graders. does that sound high to you. is that pop? >> that sound, unfortunately, very accurate whment parent hear this, it is hard to believe when you talk about something about years that are supposed to be fun. that has gone on the upswing. that's something that we need to pay attention to. >> one of the other facts that we are showing there is the suicide rate among teenagers is increasing. why do we think that is? >> there is a lot of reasons for that. certainly, the pressure on kids, pressure on life is

increasing. there is access to treatment, getting appropriate treatment. depression is treatable. suicide feelings are treatable. there is a wonderful study by the national institute of men tall health that showed depression and suicidal feelings are very treatable in early identification is key so that we can get kids identified so that they can get help. >> one of the things that you mentioned and people point out it that kid today, what they are dealing with. some older folks say, they've got everything now. we didn't have that growing up. but they also have more pressures and more adult-like pressures on them at a younger age and they are exposed to, it seems to me, at least potentially exposed to a wider realm of bullying and all of that with the social media and that type of thing. do you think that factors into that also? >> absolutely. there is a lot of pressure across all socio economic

striata. parents are depressed leading to children being depressed. one of the main things to look at is a kid not enjoying what they use to enjoy. kids start losing pressure and things that they love, that's a big warning sign, not sleeping, noteating as well. also looking at drugs and alcohol since use of alcohol with a depressed person increases the risk of suicide. hopelessness, not having hope in the future and what they are communicating to their friends is really important. >> if a parent notices these things, what should a parent do? >> there are wonderful guidance counselors in the school, the d.c. department of health and the board of education are partnering to try to have mental health professionals in school. there are funding issues here, of course. but reaching out to guidance,

pediatricians getting kids to talk nobody likes to talk about death but we need to listen to kids and talk to them, talking to them about suicide does not teach them about, you know, something that could be dangerous that's going to lead to that, will get them to talk more. we have to get his talking, creating a supportive network. also really helping with sleep since sleep increases depression, increases the risk of suicidal feelings. >> unof the prevention tips that you have is screening at pediatrician and primary care. is this screening that is not typically done? >> american academy of pediatrics is doing a marvelous job teaching how to screen in offices. given that there is not enough child psychiatrists in this country, i applaud their success. they are doing a marvelous job with this. >> thank you, dr. mccarthy, thank you very much for coming in. we do appreciate it. >> tony, thanks. tough subject a major prescription drug ring bust.

get it back to allison and tony at the desk. you know what time it is, tucker. time to answer this week's ask allison question. i have a delicate question regarding a friendship with a very close friend. she is the type who believes that the world should revolve around her and makes everything about her. we know these people, right? she is the type to play victim in every situation. she can do no wrong. her ways are bringing me down and i'm trying to distance myself but i know eventually, i will be faced with explaining why i have been behaving this way. how do i break the news? i don't necessarily want her to lose her as a friend but i want others to know how people perceive her. >> you know, i hear this all the time. i have the same problem. it goes beyond friendship. the same can be asked, how do i barak up with people in our lives when relationships don't

work. i'm talking about everyone from your hair stylist, babysitter, dog walker, boyfriend, girlfriend. tough to say good-bye at the end of the day and tough to tell somebody about they selves because most of you don't enjoy confrontation, first of all, and it takes a really strong person to hear criticism and not become defensive. looking specifically at your situation, it sounds like you want to salvage the friendship but it cannot exist the way it is. the passive way and not the best way, mighty say, would be to stop returning the calls and messages and this happens a long because that's the easiest way out. i don't recommend this though i have done it myself. i don't recommend that. but relationships, do not celine away. i suggest you talk to your gal pal about how you are feeling that fur a one-sided friendship, just not working for you that it's exhausting you to be her friend and that you ton want to walk away but

you can't stand friends in a relationship as long as it is the way it is. again, expect a tough talk but it seems like you have plenty o examples of how this relationship is one-sided and how you just don't have the time for it. who has the time in our lives anymore. i would add that you still want to be friend. please, understand, she could be embarrassed by hearing you tell about herself and she might not want to be friends after all of this because it might be too awkward for her. it's always going to be siting there in the room. so be ready for that think about all sides. thanks so much for writing in. tony, i always say that girlfriends, speaking as a woman, that should not be so much work. boyfriend, girlfriend, but girlfriend should be a ref huge. i did have someone where i teld a coworker about themselves. >> what happened? >> it was real yes tough and the person denied being that way and i said, well, i find that hard to believe because you have a difficult

personality. and then we just continued to work together. >> were you still friends? >> i don't think we were ever really friends so that was different. it's tough for sure. >> that's a tough one. and you have to be prepared for that person to just kind of say, all right, if that's how you feel: think about it. four years from now, who cares? >> right. here is a good thing to do. >> hope family you can record this and sit down with your friend and show it. >> right. >> i want to be friends. i'll be the mediator. if you have a question you would like me to take on, head to our website, myfoxdc.com and click on the morning tab. a long way to tell you, tony, this relationship is just not working for me anymore. i joke. >> i can't do that. >> i don't hear it. i refuse to hear i those brave high flying engineers were at it again on the washington monument. coming up, an update on today's work. a press conference just wrapped up. the latest, next.

chunks out of the monument. what they are doing is putting them in debring bags. none of them have fallen to the ground. they that i that the cracks they are finding are not old cracks but new from the earthquakes. they are not seeing any soot or particlet matter. on paper, the report is supposed to be turned in on or about october 15th but if they need more time, they'll get it. one more important thing. they keep repeating to the national parks reps that the building is structurally sound. there will be a bid written and then it will be sent out to bids. it may be months before the washington monument is reopen to the public. i have a feeling it's going to be a long time. the best view of the monument is from a distance.
