city by city, there aren't national or state rules. every city decides. it is considered a handbill. newspapers do not fall under this provision. so when you get the extra newspaper, a lot of times, they are allowed to do that. if you post a notice on your house under most locations it's got to be at least eight inches square and say no handbills, they aren't allowed to do that but i don't know how they would see that driving by. >> it's really annoying. a very generous person said where can i donate prom dresses? >> the princess project. find them at princess project.org. they are all a over california and down in san diego and give dresses to low income girls, so they can go to the prom and look fabulous. i can't think of anything better to do because most girls if they are within means they don't have a little sister to pass it down to, it's perfect. >> it's prom season. by the way, a lot of dress stores will take it. ask where your buy your prom dress if they will take it back a lot of times they do and donate it. >> denise l. asked when i called the

. >>> president obama will be speaking at the national league of city's conference today at a gatheringf 2,000 leaders. he will speak to a range of homeland security issues. >>> could cyber attacks hack into the faa? the agency systems are not up-to-date and could be vulnerable to a cyber attack to allow someone to access sensitive information. they can shut down the system while planes are in the area or steer planes into one another. yesterday chuck schumer asked the faa to make changes recommended for that report. >> the threat of a cyber criminal taking over this system makes your stomach sink. >> the report includes 17 public recommendations and dozens more that will be kept private because they contain sensitive security information. >>> i'm chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. i'm tracking some rain that could lead to slippery conditions for parts of the n we'll break down when you'll see the rain and when it should move out. jillian mele is now watching the roads. >>> so far so good on the blue route right near mac dade boulevard. going through the cameras i'll bring

negotiations, we will reach a deal and understanding that would benefit all nations: iran, the region and the world. >> in the city of masha the country's supreme leader spoke to a large crowd raising one of the main sticking points in the negotiations. >> negotiations with the united states and nations, everybody should be aware of this. we do not negotiate with the united states on regional issues. the u.s. is opposite to our objectives. >> kerry counterpart >> unity is the key word here it seems that france are digging in their heels on a couple of critical points in these negotiations. they say there should be no quick relief in lifting those u.n. sanctions, and they want the timetable for restrictions on nuclear activity ins iran to go on for a much longer time. as james mentioned in his report one senior french official saying it was dangerous and possibly futile to have this deadline by the end of the month. so, i think john kerry in that meeting you had with his european counterparts would have been having a very difficult time with the french even convincing them. but it is critical to get those people on
