things are looking nice for us first off this morning. 78 degrees the current temperature. 82% relativeidity, winds out of the south-southwest at 6 miles per hour. take a look at the temperatures in the upper 70s. 79 in hagerstown. 77 degrees in york, pennsylvania. feels a lot warmer than that. feels like we're up in the middle to low 80s. feels like 94 in ocean city. really another warm one for us. we've got cloudy areas. we'll call it partly cloudy that will continue to be the case throughout the day today. we have a big plume of moisture and trough all converging over top of it. that makes our weather a little unstable. it does help to steer hurricane bill out of the way. it's still a big, well organized system. we're looking at a storm the size of the state of texas. it is really huge, heading to the northwest towards us. the good news is, as this category three hurricane arrives towards the coast, our front will divert it off towards the east and away from us. although the new england coast has to be aware of that, they could get clipped by it. for the rest of us, we're looking at

let us look at the rest of the ms. they have been quick to claim victory, both president karzai and his main challenger abdullah already are saying they won yesterday's presidential election. preliminary results will be released next week. the counting of ballots is over, according to the election authorities. let us go to the afghan capital and join my colleagues there. >> welcome to kabul on a warm, sunny day. the afghan election continued to take its course. voters have voted. we are still not sure how many. the counting is almost done and now the compiling begins. it could be a day or so before we have the unofficial results but that has not stopped the key challengers from granted lee announcing -- or their agents announcing they have already won beard this happens in many elections around the world but there are particular concern about those kinds of plymouth at the statement -- premature statement here. american and european envoys called on the politicians to act responsibly. there is long been concerned about

let's take a look at this map and tell us what's going on. if i look at this map i think this looks terrible. the whole country is in decline but for four states. >> yes, yes. the red tells you the trend has been down. you are losing jobs. the good news is that map used to be allred. you had no color. just a solid swath of red. now we are seeing yellow where things are changing direction from losing to gaining. there is one blue state where you are actually adding jobs in this state. this will slowly change color. it will slowly turn yellow and blue for the rest of this year into next year as the recovery becomes evident to everybody and we start to get actual jobs being added. >> that is one way to break this down. i think it's important to break it down a few different ways. there's still great disparity in demographics, in people unemployed, who has more jobs than others. >> absolutely. >> it is still a tough world for minorities in america. >> absolutely. what you are having -- first, before you get to the demographics, there's one big the

i don't think affecting us. look at the naval air station. over ten inches of rain the last couple of days. crest view, florida, had winds gusting to 40 miles an hour. and over t inches of rain. now we're getting into august and september. this is the hurricane climatology, if you will. that's where the likely breeding grounds are and the tracks. and with bill, there it is out in the -- out in the atlantic. right now, every indication is it will stay safely, safely away from any land areas. here's the track on into thursday and the latter part of the weekend. it could be an increasing threat to bermuda. right now, no teat to the united states or any of the islands, either. overnight tonight, high pressure still our dominant weather-maker. tomorrow, more southwesterly winds. more humidity. and an increasing slight risk of an afternoon shower or thundershower. in the meantime, this evening just the high clouds that we have out there. it's warm and it's humid. as it will be tomorrow morning when you get up and head out. sort of hazy skies. overn

us this morning. it is on the muggy side. let's lookat the temperatures, 78 degrees right now, relative humidity 82%. temperature as cross the state pretty much the same story. 77 in winchester, virginia. 79 in easton. there on the eastern shore, we're seeing 85 degrees in ocean city. it feels warmer than that. feels like we're in the 80s across the state. feels like in the mid-90s at ocean city. so a really warm one to start us out. that will continue to be the case throughout the day today. mix of clouds and clear areas. we're looking at clear conditions mostly in the south of baltimore. we're seeing a couple of sprinkles west of the mountains. for the most part, we're looking at another day where we have the mix of sun and clouds in the morning, incoming clouds and showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. that trough and the system that is keeping all of this unsettled weather place over top of us will help divert hurricane bill away from the coastline. bill is still well formed, strong and is about the size of texas right now. s

options are great because they can give us a free look into what's happening behind it the marketplace in terms of insurance premiums. the market's been moving, let's say the s&p varies about 11 to $12 a day for the past two weeks or so. the vix is saying it should be moving at about 17 or $18 a day. but the bottom line is, there's really nothing going on. the market's been rallying. everybody loves earning. what this is telling me is this extra premium is there because investors are buying and not retail investers big institutional investors are buying puts, buy protection. what that means is retail traders need to start looking at the same thing. >> translate that the means for the investor watching based on what the vix is telling me. >> you've got the strata. calls and puts. we see where they're pricing

and we're also looking ahead to not only the children here today, but those who will follow us so thatthieve planet hopefully better off than we found it here today. >>> now the forecast certified baltimore's most accurate by weather rate. and maryland's most powerful doppler radar. >> i have to say it looked beautiful there out on the river. >> it made me want to go. go right out and have fun. and it is going to be one of those touch and go situations the next coupe of days as far as thunderstorms. if you are going to be out on the bay, be very, very aware of that and careful. >> they're popping up now? >> absolutely. we'll get right to that. at this hour we have a little bit of haze over the sunshine. but for the most part, things look pretty good outside at this hour. 87 degrees. relative humidity 55%. wind is out of the west at just 6 miles an hour. severe thunderstorm warnings to the north of us. but we don't have anything issued for the state of maryland as far as thunderstorm watches or warnings. that has a flash flood watch, warning rather for adams county in pennsylvania becau

>> let us look at the objectives. president obama has a very ambitious plan. he wants to try to do a middle east peace deal, something that has eluded everyone else in the last 60 years that tried. and before that, quite frankly. very ambitious. as a first step he wants the israelis to stop settlement activity. in other words, building homes for jews in occupied palestinian land. that is already proving to be a very difficult thing. negotiations, suggestions they may compromise fairly soon, and maybe that meeting tomorrow in london with mr. mitchell will be the key one. when asked of that, saying there is some kind of a deal that allows one to go on with face- to-face talks with the palestinians, probably at the americans a room, as well, and other words, resumption of peace negotiations. but i think you have been hearing already from paul wood, the fact it has been so difficult to get to this point shows how hard it will be if they do sit down and really start to talk turkey about issues that really hurts and really matter. >> thank you very much. some breaki

looks like it won't make landfall anywhere near us. ok ak the thtellite images for the eastern united states and our region and show you what is ingog oon out there there you go. we have agot clouds in over us this morning. it is similar to yesterday rnmo ag, a mixed balance with some clouds an sunshine once the sun comes up. there is some scattered precipitation across portions of the midwest, the great lakes region and down to our south as well. currently, reagan national airport rapting a temperature of 75 degrees. relative humidity, 76% p wind are out of the south at eight miles per hour. here is your day planner for today. a mix of clouds and sun. chance some of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms and this evening as well. high today, again, 91 degrees. we'll have pore details on the forecast coming up in just a little bit. stick with us for that. >> thank you. >>> let's say good morning to julie wright and look at traffic out there. >> a lot not going on right now with the exception of the seven river bridge. that is whe

a closer look at how edwards used campaign funds as political action committee paid rielle hunter's firmor work in 2006. take a look at this video before a woman being told by police her husband was murdered. don't be fooled, the cops say. nbc's mark potter in miami. what in the world is going on with this case. not pretty. >> reporter: not pretty and quite unusual. they learned from police a 26-year-old woman named dalia dippolito was wanting someone to kill her husband. they brought into the scheme a supposed hitman, actually an undercover officer with the boynton beach police department. police say this woman offered to pay $4200 to have her husband killed. she also said she was 5,000% sure she wanted to do that. she also allegedly said she would be very happy when this was done and also allegedly provided pictures of her husband and the house for the purposes of it. yesterday when the murder was supposed to occur, police actually called her at the gym to come home. there they told her her husband had been murdered. not aware it was a fake and that the police were in on it. she began

every bill that affected us in the civil rights kennedy worked as a sponsor or co-sponsor. if you lookthere is a major bill dealing with us, people dealing with us that are having challenges in our communities. ted kennedy was there. he was our champion dealing with the united states senate. >> let's move on to a local issue in baltimore city. two weeks ago there was a double city inside the lake street pavillion involving gang members. after this the police commissioner advocated a more aggressive approach downtown. some think it is too aggressive. where does your organization stand on this? >> we are most concerned with the language that was used. the language that we heard coming from the commissioner was somewhat reiterated by the mayor. we actually took a vote this week. we felt the language was inappropriate. the language was lending itself to encouraging racial profiling. we sent a letter before the profiling incident to the mayor examine police commissioner indicating that we are concerned that you need to better explain what it is you want done. we totally support strong polic

there's been talk for quite some time about us looking into what's called hand seth exclusivity, so what that really means in the vernacular is can you download any application onto your wireless device? you can call it a cell phone, but they've really become our personal computers. can can you have any application on there, and can you take that device from carrier to carrier? portability, we call it, can you carry it around. and i've always supported that. but also we have to ask has the marketplace been move anything that direction already? a couple years ago we had a year in our 700 megahertz auction, this was the auction of the tv airwaves reclaimed from the digital tv transition. this rule sort of mandated what we call open access. open access is something i support, but did we need the rule to do that? it ends up there are some companies already in discussions at the time of that rulemaking where they were producing devices that could contain any application that you wanted to download on them. so we have, for instance, the google/t-mobile partnership, clearwire and other companie
