we recognize that all our results in honduras for the selection. -- that there are results in hondurastion. we recognize those results, and we commend mr. lobo for having won the elections. and as i say, this is an important step to restore the democratic and constitutional order in honduras. >> so it is not a legitimate concern that by recognizing the election, you could be encouraging further coups? >> no, because i think we have to make absolutely clear that any country that encourages a military coup, or if a military coup takes place, they run the risk of actually being suspended from the organization of american states, of not being recognized by the organization of american states. that is something that cannot happen in the future. and i would very much hope that the leadership in honduras would be able to bring together this kind of government of national unity and take the steps that are necessary, including the vote in congress, for the restoration of president zelaya. we're not walking away from that construct. we urge the congress to move swiftly for the restitution. >> we

as much as 25 inches of rain across the honduras mountains and nicaragua, too. mud slides are a problem f. it keeps up with rotation and moves in to the caribbean it has a chance to get to the gulf of mexico. we hope that doesn't happen. areas like texas, louisiana, you have to watch out for. look at the rest of the country. not much going on except for a clipper. >> bob, looking forward to it. >>> sex addiction was the topic at that got joy behar all riled up last night. check out her interview and some of the stars of the new show on treating sex addiction. >> on up show you have eight good looking sex addicts living together. now isn't that a recipe for disaster? >> no. well, maybe in the joy behar sex rehab program. for mine it's like putting drug addicts together. yes, they do drugs, they do them together. >> it's different because there's no drugs around but people are there, good looking people. >> we really wanted it -- >> you really wanted what? >> i really wanted sexual sobriety and a lot of those people were desperate. >> catch "the joy behar show" he

watch the path, up through nicaragua, basically honduras as well. see it's mostly on land, the circulation. good news. it doesn't look like it will strengthen much, but the heavy rain out there 24 to 36 hours, could produce as much as 20 to 25 inches of rain, muddedslides is a good possibility. then we get away from there, to the west coast. i want to show you our newest storm off the shore of the pacific. this is seattle, down through portland, the clouds are blasting their way through the states. look at the rain now beginning to show up on that radar out of seattle. that rain is going to turn heavy at times, specifically later today. you could get as much as two inches of rain for the mountains. that in a little bit. hey, your home state there. more rain. >> it is. rain something that's probably expected. >> they don't need much more. >> no. thanks, bob. >>> so you think you know the news, but we really want you to try to prove it here. challenge your friends, yourself, telephone yost yourse. pick your favorite anchor at cnn challenge.com. >> it'

state department's position on the upcoming election on honduras? well, that has not changed. we are providing technical assistance to help the hondurans ensure ithat this is a free, fair, and transparent election. it is going to take place in the number of days. we have an embassy on the ground, and the embassy is closely monitoring the lead up to the elections themselves, which take place on sunday. i think it is important to understand that these elections are being carried out by the independent supreme electoral tribunal. it is not being conducted by the de facto regime. the supreme electoral tribunal was selected and installed in a transparent, democratic process before the coup. the candidates for the election -- i think there were six -- were nominated well before the coup. so this whole process has been in train for quite a while. i think one of the six candidates -- he was an independent -- has dropped out of the race. and we support this process. we think it is important of the people of honduras have the opportunity to express their vote

it is interacting with land in the nicaragua-honduras border. it is throwing a lot of rain especially on the coast of honduras right now. this situation will emerge back into the water, and once that happens, it has a chance to restrengthen just a bit. i want to show you the path of this as it heads over cancun over the weekend and mid-week next week, it's in the gulf of mexico as a tropical storm. i want you to look at this because we're not done with hurricane season yet. this is something we'll be watching over the next couple days, especially the florida coast, alabama, mississippi. it looks like it's bending just a bit, so we have the weekend to watch this thing. as for the rest of the country, low pressure building right now south of nova scotia. breezy conditions are out there. winds are going to come back around and hit you in florida again from the ocean so another day of high tides. a little light rain around portland, also around the adirondacks. the wind will affect you, especially in new york and boston. we'll talk about that in a b

we're talking about ida, one of the strongest, has interaction with the land in nicaragua, honduras, weakened a little bit. but now it's moving in the far western corner of the caribbean sea and it's gaining a little bit of strength. winds are at 45, gusting to 60 miles per hour. see deep convection right neither center. the thing is, though the storm is expected to strengthen. still, staying as tropical storm but the latest path we have from the national hurricane center has the storm moving to the north and between cancun the yucatan and cuba, move into the gulf of mexico, getting into both monday and tuesday. now, if you have happen to live along the gulf coast, i would be advised to keep a sharp eye on this. however, there isn't a single forecast that brings it on shore. also a stationary front, that may cause the system to die out altogether in the middle of the gulf of mexico without making landfall. at least that is the hope. what you can hope today is a great day. plenty of sunshine for northeast, high temps in the 50s. not bad this time of year. same deal in memphis, 74. 76

had some interaction with the land in nicaragua and honduras. now it's gaining a little bit of strength. right now the winds are at 45 gusting to 60 miles an hour. thing is, though, this storm is expected to strengthen. still staying as a tropical storm, but the latest path we have from the national hurricane center has the storm moving to the north and right between cancun, cuba, and moving into the gulf of mexico as we get into both monday and into tuesday. now, if you happen to live along the gulf coast, i would certainly be advised to keep a sharp eye on this. however, there isn't a single forecast that brings this onshore. it is expected to react with a stationary front and may cause the system to die altogether without making landfall. at least that is the hope. you can definitely not just hope but expect today is a great day. plenty of sunshine for the northeast with high temperatures in the 50s. not bad this time of year. same deal back in memphis with 74 degrees, 87 in phoenix, and 69 in atlanta. that is a wrap on your forecast. i'm rey

we had a hurricane around nicaragua and honduras. right now it's a tropical depression. the spin is still there. it's moving up towards the north in a northerly direction about six miles per hour. it is expected to make another emergence into the water. it could gain a little bit of strength. look at the path that goes up to that channel and bends by wednesday morning as a possibility of a tropical storm. we might be looking at a hand fall, a tropical storm in the u.s. soil sometime the end of next week. so we have about six, maybe seven days, to watch. we definitely will over that time frame. as for the actual weather going on, now a big low-pressure region merged with another one last night. look at the wind behind that. the clouds are wrapped up with it. it's cold. in towards schenectady and new york state, places like pormd, but that's about it. just windy and cold. good to see you again on a friday. >> thank you. you know what, i wanted to say i think a lot of our viewers are probably -- their hearts are going out to the people at ft. hood right now. you can go to o

anything else on honduras? >> is this a good solution, though? no longer is the united states expect him to come back? >> for the crisis in honduras, there should be the implementation of the san jose accords. the sooner we get that implemented, the sooner we could get to what we hope would be a resolution to this crisis. [inaudible] >> that is a good question. i do not really know the answer to that. i am sure there is one. >> he says he wants to delay elections. >> there was an accord that the president and his team agreed to. we think that if we're going to address the issues of restoring democracy, if we're going to deal with the question of reconciliation, that the best way to do this is to move forward with the implementation of the accord. it is in the best interest of the honduran people. the want to end this crisis. as we have said, one of the most important thing that need to happen first is the formation of the national union government. we want to see that happen as soon as possible. >> on honduras? >> know. -- no. the statement betw

we have our tropical depression ida right over honduras getting a lot of rain especially right alonghe coast. it is drifting up towards the north at about seven miles per hour and the center of rotation gets back into the open waters overnight tonight or early tomorrow morning and you can see where it goes from here. it goes up to the north a little bit farther. may gain strength again when it hits the water and it's relatively warm it looks like it could become a tropical storm then head toward the yucatan peninsula, cancun, and then by sometime mid week next week we might be watching a tropical storm in the middle of the gulf of mexico and you can see where it's headed northward towards florida, mississippi, alabama. but, really, first has to restrengthen. let's hope it doesn't. as for the area of low pressure it's a clipper from yesterday. really bombed out nicely across the northern atlantic. wind behind it gusting to about 35 miles per hour near new york city, near boston. ocean effect rain. you're getting that right around cape cod and you get to the pacific northwest and anoth
