>> now for the latest developments in the rob flago jeff itch corruption scandal. a judge sentenced the former illinois governor to 14 years in prison. craig wall is live with the latest. thank you so much for joining us. we know his lawyers ask for a shorter sentence. what was the reaction inside the courtroom today when the judge handed down that sentence? >> the biggest reaction probably came from his wife patty who cried when the judge handed down the sentence. blago leaned over and said i loved you. he talked about that and they came here to this area where we're standing and he talked about, you know, it's time for them to be strong and to deal

with this adversity. they talked about going home and talking about their daughters and explain to them what this means and what this will mean for their family. and rob blagojevich more contrite the last few days than we have seen him through much of the proceedings and didn't have a lot to say. and now he's got a lot to deal with. we're looking at 14-year sentence. he will have to serve 12 years of that, 85% and he's got to report by february 16th. the next 90 days, he's going to have a lot of planning to do for his family. >> reporter: let me ask you. what is the reaction from the people of illinois? this is what, the second governor in a row to be sentenced to prison? >> reporter: yeah, and the last five years. the interesting part of this, the former governor george ryan was sentenced to 6 1/2 years. rob blagojevich was in office when that happened. his sentence is more than twice that. the message sent that political corruption doesn't pay for george ryan was not learned

between now and then and some of the analysis we're hearing is that this may send a message with it being a harsh sentence for rob blagojevich. the interesting part, a number of the jurors who presided over the trial were here and they wanted to see this through. they listened to rob blagojevich in the courtroom when he spoke for 20 minutes asking for leniency, apologizing. one of the things they didn't hear from him was a real accepting of the fact that he did something wrong. he talked about how he agreed the jury found him guilty and apologized and that they didn't sense the true coptrition from him. -- contrition from him. it will be interesting to see how this plays out over facebook and twitter as people sound off on this. >> and apparently the judge didn't hear that contrition either. thank you for theup date from chicago. we appreciate it. the faa has a new leader. the number two official is now in charge at the agency. after administer babbitt

credit. delinquency rates are down, credit card companies have more money to lend, and there is a new effort to simplify your card agreements further. fox 5s mean reporter melanie alnwick explains. >> reporter: that's right, demand for credit is increasing and that is a good thing as well. it means the consumers are slowly starting to feel more confident about the economy and there is a lot of competition out there for the business the credit squeeze is beginning to ease and that is some good news. >> they realize how important that is to have consumers with excellent credit in their portfolios and they're competing fiercely to get the consumers on their books. >> reporter: the ceo of cardhub.com said that that means amazing offers in the year ahead. >> and when things were going well, we haven't seen that. >> reporter: we're talking

zero% for 21 months or 500 bucks cash back and he said more people are able to qualify for those now. >> and almost 50% of u.s. consumers have excellent credit with delinquency rates going down and with unemployment rate going down and that is a natural thing. >> reporter: still, it's important to know all of the terms. >> the responsible providers of credit across the board are interested in their customers knowing what they're getting into. >> reporter: the consumer financial protection bureau is looking to make credit card disclosures even easier to compare. the bureau's proposed standard form is two pages compared to the average 5,000-word document most consumers are given now. the pentagon federal credit union is first to try it out. >> and this form blows away what we currently provide in terps of the ease of use and the ability to understand what is written on it. >> reporter: the credit outlook

is getting brighter and that should continue as long as the economy keeps inches in the right direction and most of the complaints that it gets about credit cards stem from the hard- to-read credit card agreements. go to the website. still ahead here, the surprise move that is keeping the morning after pill off of your shelves. plus, alec baldwin versus american airlines, why the sitcom star is involved in a public feud.

this to say. >> they feel bad about it and they talked to us today in a team meeting and letting us know they're remorseful and that they're apologetic about it, you know, and they feel bad enough that, you know, this is a tough situation for them and they know they made a mistake and know they have to pay. some pretty harsh consequences for it. >> and they grown men. everyone makes mistakes and i know -- . >> and that is something tough, especially when you're young or a guy like fred and having one of the years you're having and trent in the second year and that is to be one of the best tackles in the game is out of the door. >> and to be there for the wrong reasons and not like anything with the injuries, something like that that you can't control. this is something they can control. >> both players failed multiple

drug tests and would likely be suspended for a year if hey test positive again. shape. >> and hopefully they learned lessons there. thank you. and check this out. it was a crushing disappointment for a massachusetts high school football player. his brief celebration cost his team a state championship. take a look here. at the top of the screen, you will see the quarterback here, matthew owens, take off for a go ahead touchdown and raises one arm there in celebration. and that is against the rules. players are prohibited from celebratory behavior whole scoring a touchdown. the referee called the penalty, the touchdown didn't count and catholic high school lost. 16-14. >> i think that is outrageous. >> you will never forget that. >> i think it's absolutely, positively ridiculous. >> i do, too. something similar happened in the maryland 4-a state championship. they didn't take the touchdown away. >> uh. >> they tacked it on to the extra point. >> uh. >> and unfortunately for quinn orchard, the kicker from the other team was able to make a

38-yard extra point and made it. >> yeah. >> and that is kind of -- it's kind of crazy. i know we'll talk about weather but it's unfair and natural. >> i don't have to talk about the weather. there are lots of things i can talk about. i can wax poetically about a lost other issues. >> we know you can. >> and i knowen does. >> has it tarted snowing yet? >> and not here and in the city, you may not see anything more, just witness and a lot of it, too and sueel to me we set a record officially at national for rainfall and that is about 1.9 inches of rain and that is until 5:00 and we have more and that is before it's all said and done and we'll wait to see

what happens and this is sentinel radar and the rain is from the south and that is not too terribly heavy in the city now and that area of rain to the south and you travel 81 there and to winchester and to the south, to i-81 and the harrisonburg area and then farther back out to the west and we have reports, frostburg, they have gotten two, three inches of though out there and that colder air is lurking to the rest of us and that is the rain there on i-81 and another area of heavy rain, and this is traveling down south. and to prince william county and spotsylvania county and that is some good rain and that is going to continue to be wet

the metro and that is probably more like montgomery county, howard county. the eastern side of loudoun county and, again, you start to get farther back to the west and you get more snow accumulating and this is the setup on on future cast, tonight at 9:00, heavy rain here on i-95 and beginning to see the change jove route to the west and at 11:00, the cold air quickly fills in to the storm, this is when we think we may get a changeover here in the metro and make -- may be a quick one to two inches to the north and west and by 9:00 tomorrow morning, this is out of here. accumulating though to the northwest of the city and back out to the northwest and in this light blue, we can see between one to three inches of snow, a coating of three inches of snow and no more than that. the heaviest is farther back to the north and west. the rain to snow tonight, give the, very gusty winds and watch out for a quick early slick spot tomorrow morning. primary before 8:00 a.m. and blustery at noon, blustery
