sunshine. and no rain here today, so that's good news. and it should be a nice afternoon with our temperatures 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. so yesterday, upper 50s, today upper 60s to about 70. should feel great. by 4:00, 59 for a high and partial sunshine. and more clouds on the horizon and that means rain and cooler temperatures. i'll have those details in a few. >> tucker, thank you very much. we're following a developing story out of maryland a traffic alert in frederick county, cleanup continues on interstate 70 this morning. after a tractor-trailer accident. the truck jackknifed and spilled metal railings all over the road. now the driver of a pickup then crashed into the jackknifed truck. a third vehicle crashed when it hit debris there. no one was hurt, but two eastbound lanes are still closed, only one lane is getting by. another big story we're following this morning, the biggest step yet in the push to reform the health care system. >> in just about an hour the senate financcommittee is expected to vote on sweeping legislation requiring nearly all americans to purchase insurance. fox 5 sarah simons is live on capitol hill with a preview. sarah, good morning. >> reporte good morning, tony and allison. it is a big step. because if it passes the senate finance committee, it will have moved father than it did under bill clinton. now after this, we'll have to go to the senate floor for a debate but there is a contentious debate brewing over this controversial report released, taking shots at the health care reform bill. a new insuran industry audit is taking aim at the health care reform bill, due up for a vote at the senate finance committee today. the report has ignited a fiery debate. >> they're attacking the balkous bill because it doesn't tax the healthy enough and force them to pay health insurance. >> it's showing that the cost will sky rocket. >> reporter: the accounting firm pricewaterhouse cooper claims reform legislation in the senate will increase a typical family's private insurance premm $1,700 over the next five years and up to $4,000 in the next decade. they say watered down penalties for those who refuse to buy health insurance, encourage those to wait until they get sick to buy a premium. >> if we want these to work, we have to find a to get everybody in the system. >> reporter: the insurance audit says it will mean more cost. and a chairman to the finance committee says it ignores a tax credit. and other points out it was paid for by the insurance industry. the arguments on both sides heighten the tension going into today's vote. >> there is a lot left to be done here and a lot of opportunity to contain costs and that's what people are talking about. >> repoer: now with 13 democrats and 10 republicans making up the senate finance committee, it is expected to pass there. but then this bill would have to be merged with another version from the senate health committee. then after that is merged it goes to the senate floor for debate. it still has a lot of areas to move through but the major yes is whether or not the senate majority leader will push for a so-called public option to go into the senate version. right now house democrats have already put the public option into their plan. these two versions of course would then have to be merged so it's still a possibility, tony and allison, that a public option could make it into the health care reform plan. back to you. >> sarah simmons on capol hill, thank you, sarah. trailing in the polls, democrat creigh deeds came out swinging against his republican rival in last night's debate. real clear politics has bob mcdonnell ahead 51% to deeds' 42% in the race for virginia's next governor. >> gurvir is here now with more on this debate. good morning. >> reporte good morning. during the debate, deeds labeled mcdonnell as no friend of working women or gays and twice accused him of lying. mcdonnell shook it off. >> welcome to

kai voting block in virginia where they represent 54% of the electorate. deeds charged mcdonnell's past would overshadow the future on women's issues. >> bob mcdonnell was a member of the board of regent university which had a blatant policy which gave men a preference in hiring. >> reporter: after a college paper came to light during his university work. >> i support clear equal work for equal pay. >> reporter: so why is deeds trailing? some women voters told us deeds campaign has lacked focus. >> i don't know. i don't think he's very exciting. he doesn't appeal to me. i'm not going to vote for him. >>eporter: others have big reservations about mcdonnell and the 20-year-old thesis paper critical of working women. >> the things that mcdonnell had in that paper really did turn me off on him. initially i did think he was a stronger candidate. >> reporter: with three weeks remaining, if creigh deeds is a comeback kid, time is running out to show it. >> bob mcdonnell campaigns in virginia today with multi- millionaire supporter sheila johnson. in tysons corner, you might remember johnson recently apologized to creigh deeds for her impersonation of him studderring. and this election is just right around the corner. november 3rd is the election day and this race is back and forth. we'll see what happens. >> thank you, gurvir. so the district where police are investigating what they are calling a random and brutal attack at george washington university this. happened friday afternoon at the school of business. police say a man entered a business building and attacked a man in the bathroom on the second floor, hitting him twice in the back of his head with a hammer. the victim had to get stitches later. the incident is stirring up questions about campus security. >> random and startling because it could be any of the buildings in any of the schools and there is no security basically in any of our buildings and we have builds way down on g. street and those are connected to business buildings. >> having the increased presence of police is something good to show and show the students they are taking it seriously and it's important that students are safe. >> safe. >> police do not have a motive. the suspect is middle eastern between 5-10 and 6 tall. with a stalky build. he was wearing three quarter length pants. in greenbelt, a gunman tried to rob a 34-year-old man moments after he pulled into a parking space. the driver was able to speed off. the gunman fired off one shot grazing him in the head. the victim was able to drive to a relatives home

tty/v this is fios. this is big. the first batch of the h1n1 virus or vaccine rather is here. but some are still hesitant to get it or give it to their children. dr. ivan walks from the maryland swine flu advisory board joins us to weigh in on the risks involved from taking or not taking the vaccine. thank you for coming in once again. and we brought you in again because there is a report one- third to two-thirds of parents say they are not sure about getting the h1n1 vaccine for their children. is that surprising to you and what is your message to those parents? >> it's not surprising to me. because we have a lot of folks that don't take the flu -- the seasonal flu shot every year. my message to those folks is we've had several children die from swine flu. we haven't had the vaccine available yet. so for those parents, i've done all i could, couldn't be helped. when the vaccine is available, it's a much tougher call to say, i was afraid, i didn't want my kid to have it when there really aren't factual reasons for leaving your child unprotected. so i would say to those parents, get your child the shot, don't look back afterward and say i wish i did, i wish i had. >> we don't have factual reasons because this version of the swine flu hasn't been around, the vaccine hasn't been around for a long time. and i'm a parent. i hear parents talking and we're talking about this stuff. here is one of the questions, the perception is and i think the reality is, wasn't the vaccine or maybe it wasn't the reality, was it rushed into production? >> the vaccine is made quickly every year for seasonal flu. they decide to make a vaccine. and this vaccine for the h1n1 swine flu is made the same way. so rushed would not be the word i would used. i would say typically quick, because every year you maka new batch for what you think will the flu that year. so there is no difference between how the seasonal flu vaccine is made, and the swine flu vaccine is made. so all of these things about rushed, i think is more perception than reality. >> because that's great. for the layman, we don't know that the regular vaccine is made the same way. so that's good information. isn't it impossible to know, you may have answered this question, because it would be the same as the seasonal flu vaccine, isn't it impossible to know what the possible long- term ramifications of taking this vaccine might be? >> well if it's made the same way as seasonal flu, and seasonal flu vaccine has been around for years, then we would expect the same source of long- term ramifications, which are really not that remarkable. we don't see a lot of long-term side affects from seasonal flu. we would not expect to see a lot of long-term side affects from the swine flu vaccine for those same reasons. >> and so far with the vaccine given and the test groups, there have been no reports of any particularly adverse side affects. >> we say the same type of things. soreness at the site of the shot and evidence your immune system is respondg to the vaccine. but we haven't seen the things people fear, that i'm going to get me horrible disease that will debilitate me for a long time. we do some people getting the swine flu are having a bad out come. so most of the evidence is saying if you get it, it can be ally bad. if you take the vaccine, you'll have some soreness buyou're okay. >> this is great information. you're helping me out, i appreciate it. and there are now stories out that some of the signs that parents, not just parents but anyone can determine if you have a swine flu or if it's a serious case of swine flu. these are some of the warning signs. >> 're looking at fast, troubled breathing, bluish skin color, lack of thirst, failure to wake up early or interact. basically what this is saying in a nut shell is, if you are not oxygen ating your blood well, your lungs have a problem, the flu attacks you there, you aren't able to exchange air very well, you become lethargic, your skin becomes blue or gray and you're not interacting, those are signs something bad is happening. and no matter what, if you see someone that is not oxygen ating well, getting blue and gray and lethargic, they need to be in an emergency room right away. >> okay. very important. thank you very much, doctor. you cleared up some stuff for us. >> always good to see you. >> thank you. the mother of one of the columbine gunman is breaking her silence for the first time. dylan clebold's mother susan wrote an he is kay that appeared in next month's issue of o magazine. she

lunch. the device has a knife, fork and spoon. his mother believes the zero tolerance punishment is too severe. >> i agree with zero tolerance where it is needed but i agree with a leve add -- leveraged approach to that. you can't have a black and white rule, it's not one size fits all. >> the school district is reviewing the ruling. and the boy is being home schooled while his mother fight

montgomery county courthouse behind me trying to face off in front of the judge after recently airing their dirty laundry. as it relates to their money issues to the worldch you guys remember that. kate gosselin asked jon to be forced to return over $200,000 in their bank account. kate recently appeared on national tv saying that job left her and the kids with only $1,000 and unable to pay the bills. but jon denied those accusations and said he did not leave her high and dry. he says the couple has 11bank accounts and she's the one who is stashing and hiding away money. he claims in court documents that she's withdrawn over $1 million in the past year. the judge decided that he could not make that decision as to who was telling the truth today. so he had postponed everything until october 26th. he says if any money has been widrawn from any of the accounts, that whoever is responsible for it, should make sure they give it back by october 26th and behindful the first priority
