center on that fateful day, but if these allegations are true, they would institute an outrageous invasion of privacy. >> reporter: when planes struck the world trade center in 2001, steve peck was on the 63rd floor of one of the buildings. he remembers what he calls one of the greatest rescue missions ever. >> the firefighters and police officers that gave their life that day, 30,000 of us got out and many thanks to them. >> reporter: that's why he and many others touched by the tragedy want answers from the fbi. did news corps reporters from their british tabloid newspaper attempt to hack cell phones? a group of lawmakers made a direct request for the inquiry to the fbi director. >> they're entitled to know if their privacy is vitaminned. >> reporter: lawmakers cited reports that journalists tried to solicit an investigator in new york to try to obtain victim's cellphone numbers or cell phones. the allegations are disturbing to steve peck and if there's any truth to it, he says justice is in order. >> i was lucky that day. i got out. and it bothers me. i can only imagine it for people who lost loved ones, how they would feel that someone was listening in on their most private phone conversations. >> i think they need to prosecute that to the fullest law. >> the fbi has a policy they will not comment on any ongoing investigations. meanwhile, attorney general eric

woods. she is tracking that storm. where is it? >> it is just off the coast of florida and it's our second tropical storm of the year. let's go right to the graph and show you this is tropical storm bret. it's not moving around too much. wends are up to 40 miles per hour but here's the deal: eventually, a front moving that way is going to pick up this storm and kick it out to sea, keeping it away from the united states. at least that's the track that's predicted right now. if something happens with the front, that could change the track. at this point, though, again, winds 40 miles per hour, that does make it a tropical storm. it will gain some strength before it does head out to sea and we'll keep you updated on that. >> that is coming, thanks. a man has died after a stolen car crashed into his van. the accident happened yesterday afternoon on bell and ferndale avenues. police say that a shooting suspect crashed a stolen car in the other man's vehicle. that victim was ejected and

i just -- you know -- i just need support. and the reason why is because i know these mothers, they know my pain. >> reporter: but that feeling is difficult for her to acknowledge. >> i don't feel comfortable being around a whole group of people of murdered sons. i know. it's not like a group that i want to be part of but i guess i am. >> reporter: the group hopes to keep pressure on police to solve murders and change attitudes of violence among youth. >> you can be innocent and it's happening and the black community has got to stop accepting this is as a way of life. it's not god's will, it never will be, and it needs to stop. >> very active mother there. police say around 50 people were at the party during the murder. they hope that more witnesses will come forward. police are

down on poachers. now, there's a proposal in the works. >> this is as bad as it's gotten. there is potential that there could still be some nets out there. >> reporter: he runs the fisheries division. he says the new plan would require legal watermen it to mark their nets and phone in their catch locations before and after they leave the docks. but some fissuremen say constant call-ins could be a problem because of low cellphone coverage in the bay. >> this is a new system for maryland. we don't have anything like this in place right now. so we will be working on this. >> police want the new measureapproved and in place months before the start of the season on december 1st. i'm gigi barnett, wjz eyewitness news. and they want to complete that plan for approval by watermen next month.

it's been so hot for so long in oklahoma that the governor called for a statewide day of prayer in hope of some divine intervention. for 47 straight days, temperatures in oklahoma city have been 90 or more. there has been only one day below 100 so far this month, and it's expected to be 100 degrees or more through at least friday. this summer's searing heat is setting new standards. this month alone, high temperature records have been tied or broken over 800 times. a half dozen cities not only broke records for a particular day but set all-time highs since records have been kept. >> never in my life i don't think it was this dry. >> reporter: extremely dry weather is blamed on fires that have already burned nearly 5 million acres in the southwest so far this summer. this is the driest start to the year ever in new mexico. the u.s. drought monitor released thursday showed 29% of the country in droughts, 12% of the country in exceptional drought, the largest extent on record, which means tough times for plants and animals. >> it's a tough year for all crops involved, and there will be probably some producers that don't survive for another year. >> the latest heatwave will last through the week. it is also marked by high humidity. that made temperatures in the mid-90s feel like they were in the 100s. high humidity makes it more difficult for the body to cool itself and thus it's a lot more dangerous. cynthia bowers, cbs news, chicago. >> meteorologist bernadette woods right here. these heat advisories and warnings are in effect for 17 states right now. >> and as we were talking about, it goes all the way from texas straight up to the canadian border. it goes from the deserts out west and it's now creeping eastward. so we're eventually going to get in on it. >> and you throw in the humidity in some of those places, they're hitting 115 in the upper midwest right now. >> and i forget the actual number but even in dallas, which gets hot this time of year, the string of 100 plus days is really adding up. >> so is that all moving here? >> that's the air moving here but it's coming in two different ways. we start to warm up tomorrow. that's not the record-breaking heat that we were just talking about. that's coming later in the week. so we'll get to that in just a moment. 91 degrees is where we stopped out today after sarting out the day at 68. that average of 88, we're not getting close to it. we're going to go way by it this entire week. tonight, coming in at 79 degrees, ask the numbers are starting to creep up because of the southwesterly winds and with the southwesterly wind, we now have code orange air quality alerts in effect for all of these counties and they're likely to be extended for most of the week and later in the week probably up to code red warnings because air quality's going to get pretty rough because of this. we were just showing you a story on the heat and even at this hour, it's 106 in phoenix. so 92 in dallas, still close to 90 in parts of the northern plains. that is the air that's moving in our direction. as we said, part of it comes tomorrow because of a cold front that's approaching us. the other thing that cold front's going to do is deflect tropical storm bret out to sea, keep it away from the east coast because this right here is that new tropical storm that we were just talking about at the beginning of the show. the way it all comes together, it's not moving much right now, still offshore with winds about 40 miles per hour but over time, it gets pulled to the north and eventually, gets a huge kick out to the east because of the front coming our way and you can see winds at this point are 40 miles per hour, it's moving off to the southeast. so drifting barely at 2 miles per hour. it will start to do some loops. as far as the front goes, this is the timing of that, comes down from the north and scoots out of here by wednesday. chance for thunderstorms late tomorrow afternoon. the heat is going to follow. so out on the water, as those winds pick up out of the southwest tomorrow, tonight we go down to about 70 degrees. that's it. and tomorrow, we get up to 93 and that is just the beginning. that cold front comes through, we stay in the 90s, and then we go to the upper 90s by the end of the week. adam? >> not looking forward to that. coming up next in sports, the orioles are on a winning track these days, pop the champagne at two in a row. champagne at two in a row. stan has hig,, [ bailiff ] fee court is now in session.
