posturing. delia goncalves is live outside the wilson building with more on what a shutdown could mean for the district. good morning, delia. >> good morning, andrea, mike. the mayor, hair gray is hoping -- mayor gray is hoping cooler heads will prevail on the hill. however, he is preparing for the worst and that would be a government shutdown. later dat mayor will have a news conference announcing the -- later today, the mayor will have a news conference announcing the city's contingency plan because they have a whole lot to lose in this fight. why? congress still controls d.c.'s budget. and so that means any stalemate on the hill means the city gets hit hard. the senate is expected to return the budget proposal to the house without the provision defunding obama care, but house members seem to be digging in their heels and intent on defunding that health care plan, even if that means a government shutdown. the deadline just seven days away, october 1. here's d.c. council member tommy wells.

>> we don't have any control over how long this lasts. with no representation in congress, with -- we have no control over it. we're completely subject to how long congress has this impasse. hopefully cooler heads will prevail and ideological warfare that hurts everyone, including the people in the district needs to stop. >> reporter: that's tommy wells also running for d.c. mayor. here's the good news. schools, fire, police will remain open. on the chopping block, though, libraries and services like street sweeping and trash collection. coming up at 6:30, how progress in terms of construction sites could be affected, too. i'll see you in a half-hour. back to you. >> delia, thank you. navy officials plan to close gaps in the security clearance process which failed to pick up red flags in the background of navy yard gunman

aaron alexie. the contractor killed 12 people last monday before he was shot by police. alexis did not disclose all the details of his criminal history when he enlisted in the navy in 2007. he answered no to questions asking if he had ever been arrested or charged with a felony. in fact he was arrested in seattle in 2004 for shooting out the tires on a construction vehicle in what he called an anger-fueled blackout. the office of personnel management report only stated alexis deflated the tires. navy officials did not learn about the 2004 arrest until after monday's attack. a manassas research facility is still unsafe after an explosion there yesterday. a pressurized canister with a gas mixture leaked and then it shot through the roof of the utron building on innovation drive. one employee got minor injuries from. it has a list of contracts with the pentagon. the cause is still under investigation. apparently you need to

watch out for thieves when you get gas in prince george's county. police there say they're lurking around local gas stations. the crooks wait for you to get out of your car and they snatch your cell phones, your purse, anything that looks like it's valuable and they take off with t. police say don't leave anything sitting on your car seat. carry it with you or lock it in the trunk. it 16:05. time for -- it 16:05. -- it is 6:05. time for another your money segment. >> chrysler possibly making it back to wall street after many years. the automaker has moved forward with an initial public offering. the number of shares to be offered and the price range have not yet been determined. shares being sold will come from a worker's retirement trust that owns 41.5% of the company. italian automaker fiat own the rest. it rescued chrysler from bankruptcy back in 2009. the ipo still must be approved by the securities and exchange commission. td bank is settling charges that it failed to report

holiday shopping season. the world's largest retailer plans to add 55,000 seasonal workers, 10% more than last year. 35,000 part-time workers will become full-time. that means more workers will be offered benefit, something wal- mart has been criticized for not doing in the past. toys 'r' us is ramping up for the holiday shopping season, too. plans to hire 45,000 seasonal workers, the same number as last year, toys 'r' us and other stores are bracing for cautious consumer spending over the holidays and they believe many people will shop online when possible. i'm already checking out some stuff online for the holidays. >> that's the one in times square, the only toys 'r' us that has a ferris wheel on the inside. >> so cool. expensive, though. >> thanks, jess. a new brushfire is forcing evacuations and closing roads in california. >> could a midday nap make you smarter? it might. we'll let you know after

kentucky and tennessee, down through alabama and georgia, we're going to be sunny once again. good deal of sunshine. another beautiful day around here. highs in the mid- to upper 70s tomorrow. we'll watch the rain wednesday morning into kentucky and then by wednesday afternoon it's not making a lot of progress east with high pressure here blocking. as we get into wednesday night and thursday, it just doesn't have the push. it may through a few -- throw a few clouds our way. as far as any rain i think it will stay to the south. today a chilly start. a beautiful afternoon. 75 degrees for leesburg. frederick is going to warm up nicely after the foggy cold start. even on the eastern shore we'll have lower 70s. right by the bay, water temperatures starting to drop. so annapolis may struggle to get out of the 60s today. then tonight not as cold but, you know, some low 40s in a few areas. not 30s but low 40s to around 50, 55 here in d.c. here's your forecast in detail. today 75 degrees. a beauty after the chilly start. tonight 55 again with the 40s north and west.

the beltway this is in silver spring near georgia avenue. the outer loop westbound 495 looks pretty much like this as you leave the 95 interchange, top side of town into silver spring. let's go back over to the maps. this time to the south side of town. no problems on 95 northbound. it's going to be slow off and on into dale city, woodbridge, lorton, newington and springfield. all of your lanes are open on the interstate. if you're planning to head on the northbound side of 395, you're going to be okay to the 14th street bridge. inbound 66 slowing down near nutley street because of an earlier disabled vehicle. back to you guys. >> thanks, monika. 6:19. time for another look at question of the morning. it is according to an e-harmony survey, 41% of men admitted to doing what? is it a, playing hard to get, b, not paying on the first date or c, wearing just a little makeup? >> this is a little racy. our facebook friend sharita smith wrote, if you have cleavage, trust me, it certainly isn't a meaning playing hard to get.

>> log on to the wusa9 facebook page and leave your response. we'll have more of them and the correct answer in 30 minutes. i'm terry mcauliffe, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. for 30 years i've worked as an obgyn, my job is to protect the health of women. so i'm particularly offended by ken cuccinelli. cuccinelli wants to make all abortion illegal ... ... even in cases of rape and incest.

... even to protect a woman's health. i want a governor who's focused on schools and creating jobs, not someone who wants to do my job. who's ken cuccinelli to interfere in the lives of women across virginia?

good morning. everybody. i'm kristen berset. if you're a nationals fan, you don't like the st. louis cardinals, especially after they knocked your team out of the post-season last year. after last night you're really not going to like them. the nationals knew their chances were slim to make the post-season but they weren't going to go down without a fight. they really needed a win in st. louis last night. a two-run shot by carlos beltran was just not going to happen. the relds and pirates both won which means the nats are officially nip lated from the

post -- eliminated from the post-season race. the orioles may not officially be eliminated. they did lose one of their stars. third baseman manny machado stepped awk qrdly off first base and collapsed to the -- awkwardly off first base and collapsed to the ground. he will have an m.r.i. in baltimore. the caps, another preseason game, extra time. a theme this year. bruins win 3-2. and washington mystics' season sadly came to an end last night. they carried a two-point lead into the 4th quarter but were outscored 20-17 in the final frame. that will do it for your morning sports. i'm kristen berset. have a great tuesday. on the inbound side of i-66 it seems pretty normal inside the beltway here as you travel to the roosevelt bridge. out in bri is stow, an accident

route 234. see, howard, you get up early and you don't have to deal with this. on the inbound side you can imagine it's 6:30 in the morning and you have bumper to bumper traffic basically out of manassas here, route 234 heading all the way through centreville before that pace picks up. all brake lights this morning with the lanes open. by the way, an accident in bristow involving entrapment on piney branch lane at wellington road. i do believe the driver seems to be doing okay at this time. let's go over to a map and on the inbound side of i-66 as you said, you've got it out of manassas. it's going to be the most of the way on and off into fairfax and the beltway. if you plan to head in from southern maryland, we're in great shape on route 4, 301, 210, accokeek into oxon hill as well and we'll end with a live picture in springfield on the northbound side of 95. pretty much the same story. brake lights dale city, off and on to woodbridge, lorton, newington and here into springfield. andrea and mike. >> thanks, monika. time to see what our partners at cbs this morning

are covering. >> norah o'donnell spanning by live in new york city. good morning, norah. >> good morning you to, mike and andrea. ahead, our conversation with president bill clinton. his personal connection to the kenya attack, whether he thinks president obama should meet with the new iranian leader and hillary clinton's possible 2016 run. plus, former f.b.i. insider john miller on how the government is working to keep terror organizations from recruiting and operating right here in the u.s. and one-third of the rock 'n' roll super group crosby, steels and nash. 50 years of rock history. the news is back in the morning. we'll see you right at 7:00. >> thanks a lot, norah. >> thank you. security forces in nairobi, kenya say they have control of the building but the operation to end the terror siege is not over. two or three americans and one brit are believed to be among the gunmen who stormed the mall in kenya according to a

statement from ken came's -- kenya's foreign minister. kenya's military says most of the hostages have been released. ten could still be inside the west gate mall. al-shabaab, a somali-based terror group is claiming responsibility for the attack. president obama will address the u.n. general assembly today in its session but there's a much smaller talk getting attention. >> secretary of state john kerry is expected to meet with his iranian counterpart this week to discuss iran's nuclear program. vinita nair has more on the two nations' first substantive talk since the 1979 iranian resolution. >> reporter: president obama will address the world this morning at the opening of the u.n.'s general assembly meeting. but it's the possibility of a more intimate talk that is drawing the most attention. iranian president hassan rouhani could meet face to face with president obama today. if it happen it is would be the first time the leaders of the two countries talked since the

iranian revolution in 1979. administration officials have not ruled out the possibility but say no meeting is scheduled. but iran and the u.s. did agree to official talks later this week while representatives from both countries are here in new york at the u.n. meeting. secretary of state john kerry will join his iranian counterpart and representatives of five other countries this thursday to talk about iran's nuclear program. president rouhani says he would like his country to improve relations with the outside world. >> so the time is now ripe for those statements to be matched by concrete steps by iran. >> reporter: the u.s. has led efforts to impose strong sanctions against iran because of its uranium enrichment program. sanctions which have crippled that nation's economy. vinita nair, cbs news, the united nations. israel is paying close attention to any overtures between the united states and iran. last year israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu claimed iran was developing a

nuclear weapon and needed to be stopped. congress has a week to pass a new budget or the government is going to shut down. the senate started debate on a budget bill yesterday. >> majority leader harry reid promises to pass a bill which funds the government and obamacare but republicans want to strip away the money to implement the president's health care plan. so how would a government shutdown affect you? delia goncalves is live in northwest outside the d.c. mayor's office at the wilson building with more on the local impact. good morning, delia. >> reporter: good morning, andrea, mike. later today, mayor gray will announce details of the city's contingency plan. we all know that if the federal government shuts down, federal services will likely be delayed, but for d.c., that means our local services, a lot of them may come to a screeching halt. why? well, that's because congress still controls the district's budget. and without representation on the hill, d.c. really has no

control over this matter. so if congress continues this budget impasse another seven days, the government will shut down october 1. and for d.c., that means most of the city will shut down, too. >> this will have a financial impact on the district. and it's -- it's unfortunate because it has nothing to do with the term government. we raise our own taxes. these are construction projects that are private projects, but in order to have the government to be sure to get a permit or other things night move forward, it won't happen and that's absurd. >> reporter: tommy wells fired up about this issue. he's also running for d.c. mayor and along with mayor gray, support budget autonomy and says this is an exact reason why the city should control its own budget. here's the good news. what will stay open? schools, police, and fire.

the bad news? libraries, street sweeping and trash collection are on the chopping block. and construction sites, we could see some empty construction sites because the agency that hands out building permits will likely close, too, if the golf shuts down. andrea and mike, the bottom line there, hundreds of people who work on those construction sites may be out of a job. >> going to be plenty of people barking to get this done. >> people think it's just somebody who works on capitol hill but it's not just that and it's not just washington, d.c. it's across the country and in your backyard. >> thanks, deal yarks live at the wilson -- delia, live at the wilson building this morning. doug ganzler will begin a statewide tour to officially launch his campaign for governor. he's going to face off against lieutenant governor anthony brown who is running in a bid for democratic nomination. harford county executive david craig, state delegate ron george, the former chairman of the republican central company

charms lawler are all vying for the republican nomination. a new poll suggests that voters prefer democrat terry mcauliffe over attorney general ken cuccinelli for virginia's governor's race. mcauliffe got 47% to kush nellie's 37% -- kush nellie's 37 -- cuccinelli's 37% of the vote. many of the voters polled say they don't like either candidate. women voters were pushed by helping get mcauliffe head of kush nellie. -- >> cuccinelli. a troubling story of parental rights. we may never know the identity of the man who won the $400 million power ball jackpot all because the convenience store was out of hot dog rolls. >> smart and lucky manual. don't -- lucky man. don't forget we're always on at wusa9.com and the wusa9 app.

welcome back. 6:42 on this tuesday morning.

anything change since 4:25 this morning? >> it's a lot lighter. that's about it. temperatures are still cold. still a touch of fog in frederick and maybe a touch of frost far north and west as well, especially the mountains. here's a look at the beautiful sky. sunrise at 6:58. still have the nice glow on the horizon. we're going so see a lot of sunshine today. it's going to help. in the 40s in most areas but by lunch time mid-60s and less wind that yesterday, should be much more comfortable to be outside during the lunch hour. highs low to mid-70s this afternoon. west, northwesterly winds late at 5, 8 miles an hour. there's the touch of fog, especially up in frederick. down to half-mile visibility. warrenton down through fauquier county seeing a little bit of that toward stafford and the mountains. elsewhere just clear and chilly this morning. temperatures have dipped into the mid and upper 30s now. look at winchester and frederick down to 37. could be patchy frost from jefferson county, west virginia, the eastern panhandle

down through frederick county, beary 1reu8 might -- berryville might have a patch of frost. 39 manassas. low 40s in cambridge at this hour and also tappahannock down to 43. locally we've got 40s in most spots with germantown at 40. 45 over at andrews. even fairfax a nice chill this morning at 45 and waldorf checking in with 43. a beautiful morning in spite of the chill. our weather camera picking up the glow. 51 degrees. clear skies. dew point 45 degrees. so the air is nice and dry and comfortable. once you get away from the body of water, that 45 pretty good predictor of how coldwell' get. on average we're about 40, 45. we have some clouds to the south and west. that's it. this whole week is going to be dominated by generally high pressure with one exception. it's going to an area of low pressure that's going to come out of the mississippi valley. but this high will be strong enough as it noses in more toward the east of us and it's going to act like a block.

this is going to come out of the mississippi valley here, head over toward kentucky and tennessee by midnight tonight. tomorrow it will be spinning across the tennessee valley with some showers up into ken ken. around here, mostly sunny skies once again with high pressure in control. that high will block the system from really moving much more north and east than where it is. as we get into thursday, here we are wednesday night and thursday. kind of spinning here south of charleston throwing some clouds, especially the southern suburbs. on thursday, this stuff will throw a few clouds our way but not any precip at this point. one thing we're watching, there's a possibility of a coastal low by sunday, monday that could have a much bigger impact than the delmarva than here in the district. today going to be gorgeous later on after the chilly start with highs in the low to mid- 70s. looking at our forecast, going for 75 today, although that's going to be a late afternoon high. it's not going to feel nearly as cool as yesterday also because the winds are going to

be light so a beautiful afternoon. 55 tonight with mid-40s north and west with light winds. tomorrow 78, an awesome day. a few more clouds thursday, still spectacular at 77. by friday still nice. right now i think the coastal storm stays far enough east of us. not too much of an impact but a stray shower. breezy by monday and 76. monika samtani, it's tuesday morning. we know the volume has caused problems. >> the volume is huge. all of us traffic reporters feel really bad for those of you who sit in this, especially this morning on the inbound side of i-66. and now take a look in cheverly on the bw parkway and route 50 affected by this accident on the southbound side of d.c., 295, right after eastern avenue. the right lane is blocked at the accident scene. wow t is very slow and heavy inside the beltway on both of those corridors that come into the northeast side and then southbound 295 after eastern
