another person. court papers do not specifically name vincente grey or suleman brown but the documents allege they were transferred from candidate a to b and gore destroyed a photobook containing a record of these illegal payments. it totaled just $535 but could support much bigger allegations, ones logged by suleman brown mayor grey was paying him off to do some dirty work, brown made accusations after he was fired from his job as an accountant in the grey administration. council members believe the charges against gore may not be the end of it. >> certainly an ominous event because it means that he is entering into a plea, probably with some sort of arrangement to provide information on others. it means this is only one shoe dropping. this might be a centipede so there may be other shoes. >> reporter: councilmember, mary che led an investigation into the allegations, suleman brown made not long after that

and then the feds took over the case. the most serious charge tell knee obstruction of jus -- felony charge obstruction of justice he faces up to 20 years in prison on that charge but tony and allison we expect if there is indeed a plea deal he will probably get something of a lighter sentence in these charges. >> thank you very much. in other news this morning an investigation is under way into a police chase that stretched from prince william county into the district. it started late last night, when prince william county police tried to pull over a woman on 95 north. she was wanted on an outstanding warrant. the woman fled and police put out a lookout. fairfax county police spotted the woman who drove into arlington, where police picked up the chase on 395, she then drove into the district where u.s. park police continued the chase. the woman was taken into custody in southeast dc without

about. >> just roll with it. >> let's kick off your forecast, look at the radar. we've surrendered, white flags fly being the heat and humidity with us for the next couple days. want to mention quickly that light green on your map that is a flood warning issued by the national weather service. reminding everyone we had heavy rain overnight in prince william county because of that, we have some flooded roadways, manassas, you are under this flood warning for a few more hours. in effect until 10:00 a.m., not raining currently but, with all the rain last night 3 to 4 inches of rain off to the south and west. most of the area, a few light sprinkles and showers, you will see more showers north and east, laurel, pushing up towards columbia, that is about it. otherwise clouds, fog, mist, that continues to cross the area as we continue to be under the influence of this very very stuck pattern the atmosphere.

you will be able to see the cloud cover, just not a lot happening. most rain shower activity off to the north. see that twist there as showers push up into southern new england. we are on the backside. might be a period of sunshine that will only help destabilize the atmosphere, increase the possibility of more showers and storms this afternoon. if you get sunshine don't be fooled showers and thunderstorms likely will return in the wake of that. out to the west, a cold front will fly through over the next couple days ring out the atmosphere and eventually bring in dry air. it will take a few more days, 66 washington, 70 quantico, 64 leonard town, and left turn looks like 54 all over the place north and west plenty of humidity as well. temperatures warmer than yesterday. 79 daytime highs plenty of clouds scattered showers storms back in the forecast. winds out of the east at 5. clouds stick around, showers and storms likely, 63, overnight low. your 5 day forecast unfortunately we are not going

to break out of the pattern, wednesday and thursday more of the same friday we will dry out the atmosphere and turn up the heat, and by sunday, and monday i think temperatures will get close to 90 degrees in time for our big holiday weekend, opening of the pools that kind of thing. >> that is a look at your weather, let's look at traffic julie. >> a lot is happening at this point. very busy on the roads, southbound 29, accident activity further south after randolph, you can see it is grid locked to the accident scene old columbia pike, 198 busy cleaning up a car fire. this happens to be the belt way outer loop, slow 95 to georgia avenue. what is unusual is inner loop. very slow going georgia avenue, 95 college park that is where we had accident activity, clean up continues, follow police direction to get by. southbound 95, as you work your way out, accident activity squeezing by to the left.

fatal crash occurred 4:30 a.m., still under investigation south of that. as you reach quantico only the right lane is able to get by. i've got delays as you travel out of day city. 395 earlier incident we had at king street has cleared. as you work your way out of virginia, wilson bridge, accident activity tieing up the left lane. still no verdict in the corruption trial of former presidential candidate john edwards a third day of deliberations set to begin today. for more on that and a closer look at all the new evidence we are seeing come out of the trayvon martin case, is jacob frankle an attorney and a former federal prosecutor. jacob good to see you. >> good to see you. >> we want to talk about these two cases. let's start with trayvon martin it struck us as odd we are seeing all these details come out before a trial in enest has

begun, -- earnest has begun is this unusual. >> it is but also relates to the high profile nature of this case. you are dealing with state laws, something called the freedom of information law. applies to united states government and different states. different states have different levels of that law. florida law is fairly liberal, in a sense that it enables whether it be media or anybody else to make an application under the state's freedom of information law and gain access to information. so as a result, where for example the federal system there is no way this kind of information would have become public in florida it has. and as a result, we are seeing more and more information, really that is directly relevant to the trial. if you go back to the beginning when pretty much people were making guesses, based on the initial reactions, and this is true any time you have a high profile case, what you really have is now more information,

that is coming into the public domain. that is being analyzed and in essence what you are seeing as a result is this case being tried, in the public, long before it ever actually gets to trial. and we have a jew durable system -- judicial system that is proud of the opportunity for defendants and the government to get a fair trial but when a case is being tried in such a high profile manner in the public domain you almost wonder, if there will be anything left when it comes to trial. >> more defined group of men and women who wouldn't have heard everything and made their minds up before. >> exactly. >> what is the worst case scenario as far as something like this going all the way to trial. could there be a mistrial or would they say we can't try this in court any more >> that is possible. the same thing, the jury is an issue defense always looks for, as a potential avenue for

appeal even though, as i appreciate florida law there is an opportunity for a hearing that is a proactive hearing, that defense lasts for in which they are going to assert this was an act of self-defense such as a judge may throw out the case even before trial but without prejudging, but what it really does is makes it difficult, for a judge and for the process, to select a fair jury, and you almost wonder, whether in a case such as this, such a right profile where you know coming in, -- high profile where you know coming in, to be able to get a jury that will fairly consider the facts you will wonder if you will get that jury. >> let's talk about john edwards jury out, considering the fate. 30 years on the line here. what are your thoughts about this. neither edwards or his alleged mistress took the stand what

are your thoughts >> that is always a strategic issue. we talked about that in the context of other cases as well. and rarely when a defense lawyer is able to effectively challenge the government's case, through cross-examination of the government's list often it will avoid putting its defendant on the stand to subject him to a government cross-examination, they would much rather let the person enjoy his constitutional right, sit back and be a challenge of the government's case. if there be conviction, critical word if there is not a 30 year case it will make it interesting for the lawyers whether some how this will expand the breaches of federal election law. there is a similar case where it is charged, it is political and you almost wonder if once

the jury really is called to task, to decide whether someone acts as a criminal intent whether this conduct was criminal, will they come back unanimously and commit. >> we will watch both of these hope you come back and help us sort all these legal issues out in future. jacob frankle a former federal prosecutor and currently a local attorney. tony over to you. 7:41 a.m. on tuesday morning. for the first time at a local military base, those injured in combat have a free place to call home while their loved one is recovering. another inconvenience for airline passengers after the break, what more and more carriers are now charging for in flight. we will be right back

-- the baby jesus was put >> i want to get this in here how many different replicas of shrines do you have >> i don't know some body asked before probably 70. >> wow so it is hard to keep count. we want to take people in here one of the most popular things people like to do is come into the catacombs which have an interesting air about them. >> they were the burial sites underneath rome, christianity was not permitted in rome so christians who were martyred were buried there and also they worshiped there because they couldn't worship in public. >> quickly tell me what we are looking at here. >> st. ignus his bones are actually -- part of his bones are actually there. a relic. >> how many people are buried down here. >> well, these are just replicas of where people are buried so there is really no

to first sergeant, steven live from arlington. >> hi steven how are you? >> i am fine how are you this morning? >> i am not as busy as you i am sure. so how big of a problem is this? i mean how many people today have you issued tickets for, for hov violations. >> this has always been a project for us coming out here, troopers are out here every morning and evening the same project obviously that happened last year, we netted over 777 violations, 575 of those were just for hov alone. so obviously, it is a big problem, we are on our third annual capital region awareness day, so we are hoping we could have this as good as years past >> thank you what is the lesson to be learned here is it the obvious lesson about not violating hovs. if it is hov 2 make sure it is

2 people in the car or 3. >> if you are doing this on an annual yearly what is the message to be learned by motorists. >> we can let motorists know we are out here every day whether it is morning or evening rush hour. many folks do not see us every day, rest as sured they are out here every day, and we are hoping we can spread our move over law as well. >> all right thank you first sergeant mitten dorf joining us live. of course that move over law requires that you move over, change lanes if you can. if not, proceed cautiously past that stopped traffic on the shoulder. all right tony back to you >> thank you very much. our big story, one of mayor grey's campaign aids will be in federal court. yesterday, he was charged with one felony and three mis demeanours in the long running investigation into mayor grey's

2010 campaign. he is accused of passing money orders to another candidate and destroying a notebook with financial records. the campaign's assistant treasurer handled day today for the campaign. bob thanks for coming in. good to see you. >> however you look at this, this is not good news for vincente grey. >> very bad news for vincente grey. first of all, the first criminal charge in this long running federal investigation, into the campaign in 2010, if some body, thomas gore or some body with long time ties with grey he was basically in charge of grey's finances or very key person, dealing with grey's campaign finances for three campaigns, the third campaign, he was involved in, it is also -- he is co-operate being the u.s. attorney >> that is one thing that is interesting to me.

today we believe he is going to plea and possibly plead guilty we don't know. we will see what happens. >> sure that is what everybody expects. >> right. >> that does indicate he is co- operating. >> and probably at least the second person, some body else probably gave him up, so he is going to presumably implicate higher ranking people, that is the way it works you get the low ranking people on some kinds of charges and then work your way up the ladder. >> so who are the other people he might implicate. >> what everybody wants to know will he implicate the mayor. it is really -- we really don't know who else he might implicate. i am reluctant to speculate on the air and put people's names out there when we don't know. there is a real surprise here. this is a guy who hasn't really figured prominently, in coverage of this investigation, previously. we finally get a federal charge everybody has been waiting more than a year this thing has been going on and finally a federal charge and finally progress and

some body no one has really been talking much about. this suggests to me the u.s. attorney is much further along, in this, than we in the media are. he knows a lot more than we do. that is understandable. he has subpoena power can threaten people with crimes, or prosecution and get people to talk in ways that we can't but i think for us in the media, we have to recognize they know a lot more, thing they know a lot more in the u.s. attorney's office than we do and we are sort of going to find out what they know as time goes on. >> but also obviously indicates this truly is a serious matter when it is all sewn up, there was questions, suleman brown is making these charges and you know, he has been an interesting character. >> several things. >> this confirms that it wasn't alba loney what suleman brown said. this guy seems very odd he made a lot of allegations a lot of

them were pretty off the wall. a lot were not true but the key allegations that he made, that he got, something -- money, job offer, job promise, in return for making a tax on adrian fente to help in the campaign we now have real evidence, that there was something to that. two important things to keep in mind about what has come out first of all the amount of money involved is trivial, and we are talking 500, $600 in you know, mishandled, misdemeanor money orders handed over in a phoney name. compare that to hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payer money stolen by harry thomas junior, or jack johnson in prince georges county. so the scale of the crime here, you know, is really

disproportionate but the thing that is crucial for the mayor is he has been denying all along, that he did nothing wrong, that he knew of no wrong doing by anyone now we have what looks like a guilty plea by someone very close to him, it is very hard for people familiar with politics and the city to believe that grey did not know at least something about what this guy was doing so the mayors credibility is what is really on the line here, and what is really under assault and he is not saying anything on lawyers advice and that is -- raises a lot of suspicion. why isn't he announcing this, saying i had no idea this is outrageous, he is completely mum and just he looks -- it is very suspicious,. >> we must make the point his name is not included in these documents. >> it is not included in the

documents. >> we will see what happens today, >> bob mccartney with the washington post thank you. >> allison. >> sunday after developing a blood clot while flying out there, the 76-year-old tweeted, a picture of himself and a nurse and another with his doctor he is expected to make a full recovery. barry mayor vince grey and several other council members are in vegas, for a convention. >> now to some of the top stories making headlines, president barack obama and world leaders at nato in chicago agreed on a bold exit strategy to end the afghan war. one thing to two day summit did not resolve was a disagreement with pakistan over getting supplies to coalition troops. and in afghanistan, afghan forces are expected to take a

leading combat role next summer. that means alleyed forces will remain there for two more years. another legal challenge to a key piece of president obama's health care reform law, archdiocese of washington and more than 40 other catholic institutions have filed a lawsuit, stemming from the mandate, that catholic employers provide coverage for birth control. catholic leaders contend it is a violation of first amendment rights to freedom of religion, forcing catholic institutions to go against a core belief of the church. three, two, one, zero. and launch of the space x falcon 9 rocket as nasa turns to private sector to resupply the international space station. >> bittersweet words for him to say >> right. >> it was a successful lift off,. >> let me do that.

night time eating does it really effect your waistline plus sleep apnea and snoring now linked to an escalated cancer risk. dr. joe joins us live from tampa this morning with more on these two really kind of scary and important stories, well, the waistline maybe not so much. good morning. >> good morning allison. yeah, the sleep apnea i am not that surprised about it. what they found was when they followed people overtime those with the most severe types of sleep apnea, were five times more likely to develop cancer. they didn't specify the type of cancer but also a different study done in spain they found 65% increase in cancer in individuals whose oxygen level dropped while they were asleep. >> okay. so let's talk dr. joe just about what we are talking about here not severe snoring even are we talking about a diagnosis of sleep apnea. >> yeah, and you know, they don't have to snore but that is

the classic example, where the person seems toof like stop taking a breath, seem to stop breathing and take a deep breath and there is a snore. usually it is partners who tell them, you know, or nudge them stop snoring they are the ones who can take that person and have them go to their doctor and talk about sleep apnea but thin people can get it and children as well not just over weight people we have to worry about. >> you said it before but 4 .8 times more likely to develop cancer and it is because basically, the body is deprived of oxygen when we are not breathing, and that leads to the cancer cells forming these tumours is that it? >> well, they thing that is it. and you have to remember when we lose that oxygen when levels drop we get inflammatory factors present that leads to the increased risk of heart disease which we know occurs

with sleep apnea. the possibility is maybe these chemical messengers inflammatory or pro inflammatory are signaling or allowing some of these cancers to grow under that radar screen, if our immune system drops. >> bottom line if you or someone you love you notice they have this, take them to a doctor. >> yes, and the other you know some other symptoms fatigue during the day, you know, they can't concentrate during the day and you find yourself waking up a lot during the night, because you are not able to breathe well. >> okay. let's switch to the time that we eat s how it effects our bottom line when it comes to our weight. i always heard don't eat after 8:00 p.m. is it true or is this not true. >> you know, there is differing opinions the bottom line is for this study they looked at mice, took two groups of mice one group could only eat for 8 hours, they ate 50% fat the

other mice could eat and nibble around the clock for 24 hours the ones restricted to 8 hours were similar to the mice, who had a normal diet where as the other ones who could nibble all through the night had diabetes, metabolic problems they believe, perhaps, we need a respite, down time, he found increase in brown fat in those that had the fasting period of 16 hours, which is good met bollically for us. also digestive enzymes come into play. he believes perhaps we need to rest our livers. who knows. i think you know, the jury is still out but certainly an tech doe at thely i have talk -- an at the dotely i have talked to patients who stopped eating for a period of time and lost weight. >> very interesting. >> that is the kind of fasting i like when you are asleep. >> you are right >> fasted all night. >> 8:37 a.m., tuesday morning, and there is some good news for

teachers in montgomery county they can finally see an increase in pay. details up next on fox 5. >> then tiger woods is in town gearing up for the pga tour he spoke with fox 5s dave feldman at congressional country club straight ahead when fox 5 morning news continues, 8:38 a.m.

well too. >> this is a pretty basic process. i mean there is not a lot of high tech when it comes to honey harvesting. >> that's correct. it is just manual labor and you -- >> peaceful labor kind of go s with the whole monastery theme don't you think >> exactly. then from there we go to the extraction work stations. >> that's correct we take the uncapped frames and put two frames in the spinning extracting machine. >> how long does all this take from start to finish? >> from start to finish, since it is slow as molasses it will take about an hour. >> that's not too bad. this spins it and then it comes out of here and not refined. >> not refined still raw honey and it is mixed with a lot of the untapping material as well as the insects as well too. >> yes, my next question was could you eat that but since you told me insects will be in there. >> there are a lot of people who are puristwill eat the

literally make that your summer job between junior and senior year in high school. apply for a thousand scholarships you will get turned down for all of them but if you get 30 out of a thousand you might get $30,000. a thousand bucks a piece how cool would that be. that is a great part-time job. >> one that i love, and you put -- you put limits on it but you say get a part-time job to the students, you can do it 20 hours a week will go a long way. >> well, it will and the weird thing is, the average student spends over 20 hours a week watching television, and engaging in social activities. ie beer pong. so you know, work and i hear parents say well, we don't want our child to work while they are in college we want them to study. the truth is the research shows a student who works 20 hours a week at a part-time job learns to manage their time better and has a higher gpa. >> another good tip i was surprised to see as a maryland

resident my kids are in grade school but university of maryland can be a good bargain stay local. >> instate tuition as a college, if that is what your budget dictates is the best buy. university of maryland is certainly no what a wonderful university. you can go there 7, $8,000 a year and live in your mom's basement if you have to. whatever you have to do. parents need to be very responsible you wouldn't take your 16-year-old car shopping for your first car on a mercedes lot so don't take them to the mercedes of college if you don't have a mercedes budget. >> sad to say ivy league educations don't promise you a 6 figure job out of college any more. >> nothing does and you know, about 3% of the jobs really care where you went to school most jobs care that you went and you actually learned something ap publicable while you are there. -- applicable while you are there. do a good job of scholarships and working extra and college

selection and then get through without debt and if you put yourself in a completely different position, heading into the job market. >> a lot of students and dare i say, parents might not like your tips to just like live at home, but honestly, it is a very responsible fiscally responsible way to get through at least the first couple years of college, live at home, eat on campus you know you don't need that car, other tips, common sense tips. >> well, i think this idea some how living in a dorm eating dorm food or living in mom's basement and buying used textbooks on ebay some how degrades your education. you do not have to rent an apartment with a skylight,jacuzzi and racket ball court that is a bunch of crap people are doing that everywhere and funding it with student loans. you were paying for a lifestyle not your education. >> just to remind parents and students watching, people are talking about paying back student loans well into the years after college just a

reminder right. >> well, and the problem is, it limits your choices i talked to a 32-year-old lady with an $80,000 student loan debt she really wanted to quit her job and come home and be with her kids but the choices she made a decade before were limiting options in life. so be very careful with this whole discussion. >> okay dave ramsay of course from the dave ramsay show. thank you so much good to talk to you. >> you too. thanks for having me. tough. >> really is >> i have three of them so ... >> at the time of her death whitney houston finished filming a movie with jordan sparks. >> we are getting to hear theduet the pair recorded together. some of it coming up next hour. here is a little bit, 8:55 a.m. ♪ [ male announcer ] it's one thing... to have created an icon and quite another to have done it generation after generation.
