undecided voters. >> he's got to work against that. that's very important for him. that's not very difficult to do. that's the easiest thing to do. there's not show up the way he showed up in denver. well of course now the shoe is on the other foot. now he's got to worry about living up to expectations and so -- the next day's story is not just obama did better. >> reporter: now, in tonight's debate the candidates will each each have two minutes to respond to questions. the rules only allow the moderator cnn's candy crowley to facilitate follow-up questions, of course we will be watching our coverage on fox 5 starts at 9:00 tonight. back to you. >> all right, lot of eyes on that debate. thank you. and we want to hear from you as the presintial candidates square off. use the hashtag fox 5 d.c. you decide to tweet your thoughts during tonight's debate. we'll be using some of your

the u.s. consulate in libya last month. she says specific decisions about the security of all diplomatic buildings around the world are made by security professionals at the state department. not the white house. republicans are accusing the obama administration of covering up the truth about the consulate attacks where four americans died. meanwhile, the united states is reportedly ready to strike back at al-qaeda for the consulate attack on 9/11. white house sources say the main problems are finding a target and dealing with any political fallout overseas. also any strike in response to the libya assault may be seen as a political move with the november elections just away. breaking news today from britain where police are questioning two people at a hospital where a pakistani teenager is being treated. the teen is there after she was shot by the taliban in pakistan last week after she called for girls to be educated. there are fears for the girl's

security since the taliban threatened to target her again. the people being questioned apparently claimed they were the girl's relatives. also breaking this morning, dutch police say seven paintings were stolen from a museum in the city of rotter dam. the theft one of the largest in years in the netherlands. took place during a private viewing of a collection. the collections were part of the museum's 20th anniversary celebrations. stolen pieces include works from -- museum officials say the paintings are worth a quote significant amount as you can imagine. well, prince george's county police are still looking for a suspect in the shooting death of a teenager monday afternoon at his home. he was shot at his home on 25th avenue in hillcrest heights. relatives tell fox 5 the teen answered a knock at the door and an argument followed and then that young person was shot. he later died at the hospital. police are unsure of a motive at this time.

vehicles that move around and can track your speed at different locations. the cameras here on 16th street and you can see them right down there, at kennedy street, they are fixed. some motorists have learned to anticipate them if you notice they kind of slow up as they approach the cameras. well, police say that they've placed cameras based on incidents of speeding related fatalities and crashes based on proximity to school zones. and based on known sites for chronic speeding. it's before the council today is a proposal to lower fines that can range from $75 to as much as $250. >> we're going to put cameras all over the city creating greater certainty that people will be caught if they speed. then we find out there's correlation between the size of the fine and whether people speed or not. but i think it's going to be a lot better to maintain the

public trust. >> reporter: that legislation that's being pushed by councilman tommy wells and councilwoman mary cheh would affect speeding fines. the ones that can double if you don't pay them in 30 days. and they would not affect red light fines. live in northwest, karen gray houston, fox 5 news. tony back to you. >> all right, karen thank you very much. songs of migration, up next, grammy winning artist hugh masekela joins us live in studio. >> his project reflects the lives of migrants in south africa. who brought their musical talents and culture to new towns, he's here to talk about it after the break and plus we'll have a special performance later this hour. stay with us, it's 9:09. ♪ man: to o some people, social security is just a number. but to me,e, it's money that i earned.

well, in the spirit of tonight's big presidential debate, is superimportant one. this morning we bring you the off the wall debate. the players? wisdom martin and dave ross and your guest moderator or own tony perkins. >> hello everybody. welcome to the special 2012 lek se texas of off the wall. -- edition of off the wall. we have a debate planned for

you this evening. representing the burgundy party dave ross, sportscaster extraordinary. representing the gold party, wisdom martin. newscaster extraordinaire. yes, thank you for agreeing to the debate. we will and you one question, you will each have 30 seconds to respond to the question. you can debate each other back and forth after the question. mr. ross we will start with you. the question for th debate is about robert griffin iii. redskins' quarterback. should he run or not run specifically? should running plays be designed for him? mr. ross? >> first off i'd like to thank tony perkins and fox 5 and everybody for giving me this opportunity to speak to you of this bowl day here in washington, d.c -- beautiful day here in washington, d.c.. maybe would have been high anniversary if i were to be married. i don't believe that robert griffin iii should be held back and i tell you why. because the offense has lacked productivelshanahan era four years. not weeks, not days, four years

and this guy is the most dynamic playmaker they have ever had. let me be clear about this. he's the most dynamic playmaker we've ever seen in washington, d.c.. i say let him run. you saw what happened last sunday with the to touchdown runs -- two touchdown runs. without rg3, without designed runs by the shanahans for him this offense doesn't click. it's what makes this offense go. let rg3 be rg3. thank you for the time. >> mr. martin? >> thank you very much. let me be perfectly clear about a couple of different things my opponent just stated. we both agree the washington redskins are a better team with rg3 out there on the field. >> i just said that. >> yes, we both agrow on that. thank you for interrupting me. but rg3 is indeed the franchise and the more he runs the more he is at risk for getting hurt. without him on the field the redskins have no shot all right? we've seen him pass e ball. the only way to stimulate the economy twa w redskins' economy

is to open o -- the washington redskins' economy is to key him on the field. all quarterbacks get hit. they get hit when they're running but the option plays where he has to run and keep the ball and decide where they get to take the free shots on him. they're not appropriate and they're not fiscally responsible. they're irresponsible. >> thank you for your time? >> i did have more time until you just interrupted me once again. >> thank you very much for that. mr. ross you have time to respond. >> i do, first of all where is my opponent from exactly? are you from the washington, d.c. area. >> i don't see the relevance. >> if you were long suffering you would know sir this guy makes all the difference in the world and you want to take away the one thing that makes washington, d.c. proud right now and competed right now? it's -- excited right now? it's his legs. just telling you and i say -- for the american public today, and tell you let rg3 run. >> ross' wrong because i never

said anything about taking away rg3. you misrepresented the facts once again. >> if i'm not mistaken you just want him to throw. >> well -- that's his job? to be a passer? isn't that what a quarterback is defined as? a man who passes the ball? wisdom, we can get injured tomorrow when we walk down the street. >> i don't see the relevance in telling robert griffin iii to take a step back. >> gentlemen, no one ever said anything about taking a step back. we're talking about here and now. >> here's why your politics -- >> gentlemen, we have your vies on this point. -- views on this point. we're out of time this particular debate. mr. ross and mr. martin, please shake hands, we will see you again for a forthcoming debate in the future. [ laughter ] on -- >> did you see that people? >> our next debate will be on the strasburg question. should he have been shut down? [ laughter ] >> so silly. and i lovt. >>h i'm honed they were there to be involved with that. >> you were a very good

moderator. >> maybe one day. >> a real one or another one of those? >> a real one yeah. >> why not? i can tell you a couple of reasons why not but that's okay. a lot of people don't know the signs of adhd or someone they know is likely living with the condition. and that's why this week is dedicated to raising awareness. so when we come back the ceo of the nonprofit chad joins us to explain. >> very good. and on a lighter note, we've all seen deer crossing signs and know what they mean. well, at least most of us know what they -- us know what they mean. here one woman's calls to a -- hear one woman's call to a radio station. that's coming up next.  aas governor, i cut five billion dollars in spending

and balanced the budget every year. and tim kaine and i both cut our own pay as governors, to lead by example. mark warner and i reached across party lines to get things done. we were a great team in richmond and we'll be a great team in washington. i'm tim kaine and i approve this message ...because we'll work together to restore fiscal responsibility, grow our economy and create jobs. [ male announcer ] tim kaine. bringing people together to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

maybe you're wondering what to believe about mitt romney. well, when it comes to protecting your access to birth control... and the basic women's health care services planned parenthood provides... one thing we must remember, is this: i'll cut off funding to planned parenthood. [ female announcer ] he'll cut it off. cut us off. planned parenthood. we're going to get rid of that. [ female announcer ] women need to know the real mitt romney. [ obama ] i'm barack obama and i approve this message. so many other places i can think of to put up a deer crossing signs than on busy highways and interstates. >> you seem to be under the misunderstanding that the deer are somehow attracted to the deer crossing sign. >> well -- well yeah the deer crossing sign is there.

so -- to allow the deer to know that's where they need to cross. >> okay. and we share the road with people like -- you know. who don't understand things like that. >> that's a clip of a radio she's from north dakota which has -- show from north dakota which has gone viral. the woman that you heard has called in and had three dents involving deer moments after -- accidents involving deer moments after seeing a deer crossing sign. she believes because the deer are attracted to the signs sense they tell them that's where they should cross. she's lobbying for the state to move them to less busy streets. the radio hosts offered to help the caller spread the word. doing a good job holding back the laughter. >> spread the word didn't they? >> that's great. that's great. >> that's -- >> you know? you know it takes all kinds. it takes all kinds. >> but so -- she truly though believed that the deer could understand that that sign meant they should believe able to cross -- should be able to cross right there. if that's true -- what a breakthrough. >> maybe they're learning.

maybe they're learn asking that's what they're doing. -- learning and that's what they're doing. about three years ago i was coming down river road earlly in the morning coming to work. i am not kidding, it's dark out. as i am coming down the road. there's a dog standing at the crosswalk. and i slow down in case this dog runs out. he's at the crosswalk, i go past him and i look in the rear- view mirror and he crosses the street after i go by in the crosswalk. >> yeah. >> you know i was amazed. >> they're very smart animals. >> they are. >> and perhaps we're underestimating the deer. i don't think so. >> maybe. >> they're out this time of year. >> several -- had an accident there with the deer as well and i'm always careful about that stretch of river road. >> the speed of 80 miles per hour? >> well -- >> i'm glad she's here to defend herself. >> i didn't say anything but okay. tucker? all right tucker. >> let me do the weather forecast. may believe the deer are watching the weather. >> i don't think so. [ laughter ]

>> thanks for shutting that one down quickly allison. 56 right now in washington. 56 in annapolis. let's see we are cool out there no doubt about it. a lot of sunshine across the area, winds are out of the north and west here of course yesterday we had the cold front come through. and behind it now that cooler air has been working in during the nighttime hours. and we have nice day today. a beautiful tuesday for you but highs only in the mid 60s? not a whole lot of humidity. a bit of a breeze here. and definitely like jacket weather for the tuesday. cold front from yesterday, nope, up and out of here. we'll take it. and high pressure out to the west will be building through. so with the exception of our friends well out to the west with still a little cloud cover complements of the great lakes, i think we'll be generally mostly sunny. the furthermore and west you get more -- north and west you get the more sunshine you get. otherwise high pressure delivers a couple of not only today but honestly here through the middle of the week. sunshine across the region and put in motion for you.

this will keep us cool today and quite cool tonight with overnight lows dipping back into the the 40s and then we'll get a little bit of the return flow. winds will shift out of the south tomorrow and some 70s on the map for your wednesday and thursday. low 70s not going to be terribly warm around here. but just a nice weather pattern nice quiet weather pattern next couple of days. 66 winning number for today. winds north and west at 10 to 15. lots of sunshine. little breezy out there at times and winds north and west at about 10 to 15. then cool tonight that 47? town so lots of low 0s tomorrow morning. -- 40s tomorrow morning. clear skies and cool temperatures. and here's your accuweather seven day generally a quiet weather pattern. some showers arnold here on friday but notice the wednesday and thursday look great with temperatures about 70 and right now out of here in time for the weekend so we can have a nice weekend as well. little cooler behind the front with highs in the 60s. allison over to you. tucker, thank you very much. well, this is adhd awareness week and advocates for those with attention deficit issues want you to know that someone you work with or even live with

moisture the condition. it's not -- might have the condition. there are still a lot of -- misrepresentations or misperceptions i should say about the attention deficit disorder. joining us now is ruth hughes, she is ceo of children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it's also known as c. h. a. d.. welcome to the show. >> thank you allison. >> welcome back for the organization to the show and this year the theme for the awareness week is many faces of adhd. can you tell us about it? >> well, yes. adhd usually appears in children but there's a lifelong disorder. and so you can be a child and we often hear about children with adhd. but less often about adults and at c. h. a. d. we even get calls from people who are grandparents in their 70s and 80s that are figuring out for the first time that they may have adhd. >> is that right? how does it present later ruth if you didn't -- you weren't

diagnosed say as a child? what are this things that maybe you can look out for? >> it's very similar, we're talking about problems with attention in memory. we're talking about impulsivity. and it is because it's throughout the life -- life span, that somebody who is older and diagnosed can look back on their life and say, that's why. i've had these problems since i was a child and now i understand. people just thought i was lazy or stupid or i wasn't trying. when really i was trying very hard. but that didn't work that way. so it's the same impulsivity. hyperactivity and problems with attention. >> is there a difference with a. d. d. and adhd? >> yes. >> what's the difference. >> there are some people whose primary problems are with attention. and we call that more commonly a. d. d..

>> okay. >> and then there are other people who have problems with hyperactivity and impulsivity. which we think of as adhd. but the most common is all three put together. and we call that the complex type of adhd. and so it's the three. >> okay. this year, for the awareness week, you've come out with a video contest component. and we want to see a little bit of that now and then i'll ask to you comment. >> fantastic. ♪ i want to tell you a story about adhd and not knowing about it how it affected me ♪ ♪ i thought i was stupid and couldn't remember a thing except every song that the radio played ♪ >> was there one winner in the contest? >> well, we got a number of video submissions and we narrowed et down to five. all five are on the website at

www.adhdawarenessweek.org and we encourage people to check them out but donna's song was the winner. we had the public vote and without a doubt, she came up first. >> i love it. expressing herself and talking about her lifelong journey with -- >> that's right. >> with attention deficit disorder. let's talk about -- the fact that it seems that some minority groups seem to slip through the cracks here, what's that about and we see this a lot within the african-american population, within the white population. not so much say in the asian population, can you tell us what this is about? >> correct. well, first of all adhd is a nondiscriminatory disorder. and it doesn't matter your age and it doesn't matter your ethnic background. your economic background. but what does make a difference is your access to health care. and there are also some sort of cultural things that affect the likelihood of people being diagnosed with adhd. and so it used to be if you --

five years ago, it was very underdiagnosed in the african- american community. that's not so much true today. as more and more of the african- american community particularly the health care, doctors, understands that a problem for -- this is a problem for african-american kids. the hispanic community, the diagnosis rate is lower. but we're seeing it rise. and we think that's because of increased awareness and increased willingness to say you know maybe this is more than just a discipline problem. >> right and that's what this week is about and every day of the year for you right? especially in fact. >> every day. >> this is ruth hughes ceo of children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. >> thank you allison. >> we'll be right back.
