1:44 am
they have been able to obtain a permit by u.s. park police to stay here until sunday. however, there is a caveat there. if they are found to be sleeping here, then they will be woken up because that, of course, is a vieltions of the law. we're live -- violation of the law. we're live. >> thank you, ken. tonight dc police need your help to find a missing child. the 9-year-old kalista kelly was last seen yesterday. police think the little girl may be with her mother, cynthia kelly, but is not the child's legal guardian. she was wearing a tan skirt, blue shirt and a black coat. you can see her picture there. if you have seen her, call police. we have an update now on two sexual assaults near the metro station. a third crime, an armed robbery might have been the work of the same man who attacked the women. all have taken place near silver road, all three within the past month and all three involving a

1:46 am
the president says he will continue to take his case directly to the voters, but republicans believe he's really only focused on campaigning for reelection. not on helping the nation's economy. >> i would love nothing more than to see a congress act so aggressively that i can't campaign against them as a do nothing congress. >> gop lawmakers are pushing back against the president's proposals to raise taxes. the president is asking his congressional rifles to come up with -- rivals to come up with something better if they don't like his idea. detectives are questioning a man whose behavior mid light rattled passengers. a man from saudia arabia paced the cabin and then tried to open the cockpit door in the air. another passenger grabbed him and took him back to his seat. here is another passenger on door, a doctor from bethesda. >> it was concerning rather than
1:47 am
threatening. and i think once the guy was in his seat, none of us were going to let him get out of it. but we also weren't going to overreact and tackle someone to the ground and get him tied up. none of us thought that was necessary. >> the plane landed safely in indianapolis. the young man through from saudia arabia to cutter before arriving in the u.s.. he speaks little english and was not on any terrorist watch list. they have filed no criminal charges at last check. the parents of a missing 10-month-old girl have stopped working with investigators. they had said the baby was abducted from their home sometime monday night or early tuesday after her mother put her in her crib before the father got home from work. well, since then they have been making emotional pleas for the little girl's return. but police say they're surprised the parents have stopped cooperating in this case. >> from an investigative standpoint, we've enjoyed their

1:56 am
skies and calm winds. that allows our temperatures to really drop down. we're talk about the middle 40s for the out lying areas, especially off towards the hills of virginia. and then as we get a little closer out towards the suburbs, we're talking about the upper 40s and 50 in town. the light winds are going to prevail throughout the day tomorrow, but i think we'll have enough sunshine to get us quickly out of those 50s. i would say about the 10:00, 11:00-hour most of us will start moving in towards the 60s. so here is how we look for tomorrow afternoon. sunny and pleasant. definitely a great day to get out and enjoy a midday walk. maybe take your lunch outside. low to mid 70s. going to feel quite nice with low humid. here is the temperatures across the board. i'm expecting 75 through manassas. we'll see close to 74 from baltimore -- from washington national airport up towards the gaithersburg area. we'll also see some warmer temperatures down towards the south. here is how we look. the day planner for tomorrow, definitely a jacket as you move
1:57 am
on out. mostly sunny skies. we might see patchy fog early in the morning, but it will be sparse. most of us will be okay for the morning commute. by the 5:00-hour, you're going to need the sunglasses and the jackets will be history as we move into the middle range 70s for most of us. the next three days are looking fantastic. lower to mid 70s for friday. we'll push the upper 70s. very close to the 80-degree mark by saturday afternoon. but sunday definitely hitting the lower 80s. and we'll see 80s as well into monday. the seven-day forecast is holding off on the rain opportunity. there will be another front coming through, and you can see it clearly here when the rain begins to fall tuesday night into wednesday and then hibd the front our -- behind the front our temperatures are going back down. 80s this time of year always a treat. >> it is. >> and i'm looking at the next week, is that thunderstorm action that's coming around? >> we're going to get some thunderstorms moving on in. not severe weather, but enough
