next friday. the g 20 is supposed to focus on the global economy. president obama's awkward meet being russia's president is grabbing a whole lot of attention today. we will see a statement of unity as the g 20 summit comes to an end. it wasn't hard to spot the tension in the air. >> reporter: this may be the most enduring image of the summit and had almost nothing to do with economics. president obama and putin seemed to barely stand the sight of each other at odds over continuing violence this syria. >> we discussed syria, where we agreed we need to see a cessation of violence. >> reporter: was this just for show? a short time later what appeared to be a candid moment the two leaders shared a brief exchange and a laugh. it may also under score the begrudging alliance that will emerge when g 20 nations agree the take steps to stabilize the crisis in europe. when voters in greece decided to stay with the euro there was relief. spain and italy can have a big spill over effect on the u.s. economy. >> i think you will see coming out of these meetings a high degree of resolve to work together to address financial market, tension and more clarity about the need to strengthen demand. >> reporter: but that idea of strengthening demand can mean more government spending and more debt. in washington, doug luzader, fox news. on the campaign trail mitt romney says he can win michigan

northbound as you work past duke up to king. that is a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. all right julie thank you very much. day 2 of metro's rush plus program it aims to ease crowding and improve commuter experience ahead of the silver line opening next year. how is it working so far? dan is the director of communications for metro he joins us live this morning from the plaza thanks for joining us. overall how did day one go? >> most customers knew about it and what to expect. we didn't see a lot of confusion especially during the pm commute yesterday morning and didn't get too tripped up with the new destinations and routings for trains. >> there were some issues as you would expect on the first day of something like this. thousands of people riding particularly the orange and blue lines orange line trains we understand were pretty full by the time they got to courthouse and rossland and it was hard for people at those stations to get on. why do you thing that happened and how can that be alleviated? >> well, i was out at courthouse yesterday morning and really, it was a noticeable improvement over what you would have seen if you were there last week or prior to this. you know conditions at courthouse, that section between courthouse and rossland prior to rush plus is the busiest place on our system nowhere else were trains more packed than that segment, times customers couldn't get on the trains they were so full. the fact customers got on and in many cases were able to get a seat were improvement. >> so it was an improvement from what you are used to at that stop. >> that's right. rush plus is meant to alleviating some crowding we saw and has a name called orange crush and that again is that very very crowded condition between courthouse and rossland. we have alleviated that priding three additional -- providing three additional trains every rush hour and we have converted some blue line trains to yellow line operating them over the bridge. >> conversion to blue line to yellow line trains means for those who ride the blue line longer waits for some of those trains right? >> that's correct. the trains now run every 6 minutes and then every third train there is a 12 minute gap between blue line trains and during that 12 minutes you will see three yellow line trains. what we have done for blue line customers the trip planner has schedule information it may be a matter of simply adjusting your morning routine by 6 minutes on either side. that can make all the difference or if you miss one of those blue line trains and faced with a 12 minute wait it may be to your advantage to get on the next yellow line arriving train and transfer downtown, to make your connection. >> you guys making any tweaks to the program today to address concerns from yesterday? >> not at this point. this is the service chain was well accepted yesterday and trains went where they are supposed to go. it is an nagas to when you make a traffic -- analogous when you make a traffic change on the highway it takes a few days for human behaviour to catch up. we will give it a few days continue to support customers with additional staff to help them find their way and get used to the new pattern and see where we are next week. >> more people out there again for the rest of this week and then re-evaluate for next week. >> that's right. >> director of communications thank you for joining us we appreciate it. >> you bet. as we continue here on fox 5 morning news, u vas interim president joins us live on the phone. we have been talking about him all morning long. it is will thomas can you hear us? >> hi how you doing? >> good. thank you sir for joining us. where were you when you received news you would become the interim president? >> i was in my hotel room in london. >> what were you doing there? >> i was in london with we have a group of commerce students here studying, and i was going to spend the day with them, and go to some of our corporate contacts here, and then tomorrow night we have a uva alumna event i was planning to attend to represent the university. >> were you surprised, sir, they did name you as interim president? did your see this coming? >> um, they had asked me about it, last week, and we discussed it briefly when i was at home. >> let's talk about the campus now. many have described the uva campus currently, as a campus in chaos. what would you do now as interim president to turn things around there? >> well, the most important thing i can do is first i am going to fly home, and i am going to spend the next couple days meeting with as many people as i can. i understand the feelings that people are having, i have nothing but tremendous respect for president sullivan, i understand people are upset and have different views on the resignation but there is a mission to fulfill and the mission is we have to teach students, conduct research, take care of patients, do all the things that made uva great. my goal is to meal with as many people as i can -- meet with as many people as i can i want to hear their concerns everything on their mind and then try to move through this, try to you know heal as much as i possibly can, the problems and rifts that have been created, and then frankly, i need everybody to pull together and help me, to move the university forward. we do face a lot of challenges. president sullivan knows that, the board knows that i know that we need to figure out the best way to move the university on so it will be not just a great but pre-eminent. >> but with all due respect the uva board of visitors ousted her after just two years on the job are you confident you will get the time to do what you need to do, to turn thingses around? >> well, i am an interim president i am not a president and i am going to attack the job, with all the enthusiasm and determination and commitment that i can, but i think that the things that i will attempt to do are going to be involved primarily on the academic side of the house. we've got actually some very exciting plans under way i will work very closely with pro vest, john simon and we are going to proceed with ideas and plans we already have in the works and work closely with michael strine and people on the business finance side of the house to understand all the issues there and all i can do is work as hard as possible. >> sure. >> and the board will obviously, be looking for a permanent president. you know i hope they do so quickly and i expect they will find an outstanding person, to take over you know hopefully, within a short period of time. >> my final question we often see boards donor fall searches in cases like this -- do national searches in cases like this. but do you not want to apply for the job? >> the job i have dean of the school of commerce is the job i love i am stepping in, to try to help the faculty and students and staff get through a tough time. but, i really hope that the university will conduct a thorough search and find some body t that will as i said earlier, really gain the confidence of everybody and lead the university to pre- eminence. >> uva interim president, you were kind to join us this morning safe travels as you make your way back to campus. >> thank you very much. >> fox 5 morning news will continue after this i'm drinking dunkin'. medium iced, cream and sugar. dunkin' iced all day long. dunkin' keeps me going. it gives me the boost i need. dunkin' iced keeps me moving and grooving. i run on dunkin'. america runs on dunkin' coffee.

[ male announcer ] it started like this... i speak the language of business. i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] but it ended like this. one of the worst economic records in the country. when mitt romney was governor, massachusetts lost 40,000 manufacturing jobs. a rate twice the national average. and fell to forty-seventh in job creation. fourth from the bottom. instead of hiring workers from his own state, romney outsourced call center jobs to india. he cut taxes for millionaires like himself... while raising them on the middle class... and left the state two point six billion deeper in debt. so now, when mitt romney talks about what he'd do as president... i know what it takes to create jobs. [ male announcer ] remember, we've heard it all before. i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] romney economics. it didn't work then, and it won't work now. the cold war supposedly ended decades ago but russia is playing a role in the moody conflict in syria -- bloody conflict in syria. just one of the troubled spots in the middle east, jay jay green is keeping his eyes on the conflict he is a national security correspondent with wttop radio. thank you for joining us. news out this morning, u.s. and russia,. well, what happened the president putin, sat down and talked about the violence thisn syria and president obama and russian prime minister putin said okay, look, we agree the violence has to stop but they didn't talk about what they disagreed, russia has been sending advicers to syria they are on the ground training syrians to use weapons including attack helicopters that have been sent there. and they have also been there, supposedly helping them to plan strategically what they will do as time presses forward and pressure on them gets more intense and this is what they didn't talk about. >> you would agree, that these weapons, helicopters are being used to attack civilians, women, children, children used as shields we have seen many reports on this. >> no doubt about it. images, video bears it out and monitors from the un have seen it and in fact, have been victims of that pressure and intensity, that has been brought to bare on the syrian people from the air and on the ground as well. there is no doubt about it, the syrians are using this training and russia's help to oppress. as we go to video these are residential areas being devastated by the floody conflict, let me -- bloody conflict let me show you the g 20 summit in mexico president obama president putin if you read their body language jay jay look at this, it is icy at best. >> look the thing about this relationship the u.s. and russia are not on the same page on a lot of different things. and not the least of which is the u.s. is a super power russia is not a super power and some years ago before he died, sergei t rechikov who defected, from the kgb said to me the russians, the cold war never ended they just lost their footing their platform their perch and they were looking for another way to assert themselves internationally. >> do you agree? that was my next question jay jay did the cold war really ever end? has russia just been quiet? >> i believe what sergei said and if you look at what you just asked, that body language look at what is going on in syria, look at the other areas around the world where the u.s. and russia disagree, yes, you know, there is some evidence that you know that kind of stance never changed but if you ask some experts today they will tell you, it is not the same kind of cold war. russia doesn't have the platform it used to have. it doesn't have the money it used to have and doesn't have positioning but, it still has the capability to be obstructive and insert itself in parts of the world that it is not expedient for the u.s. for russia to be in the middle. >> based on your coverage do you think the u.s. will engage in military action or be forced to. secretary of defense, leon panetta said the u.s. would not send troops there unless the rest of the world, europe and nato were involved we don't see europe in that position having the resources or the disposition to get involved in syria at least in near term. >> we saw it in libya but apparently not in syria. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> tony over to you. picasso painting vandalized inside a gallery, caught on camera. how it

traffic. major changes at uva an interim president named at the university as some members to have governing board call for the former president theresa sullivan to stay on. he is the university's new leader, served four teams as dean of mcintyre school of commerce. we spoke with him this morning. >> and that people are upset and that people have different views on the resignation but there is you know a mission to fulfill and the mission is that we have to teach students, conduct research, take care of patients do all the things that made uva great. anita kumar one of several washington post reporters covering this story she joins us live via skype from richmond thanks for talking to us. hopefully you heard that clip there, with carl. he has been named the interim president already, a lot of people are coming out in support of president sullivan, the fact that they have now moved on to an interim president does that suggest sullivan is out it is done or might she be able to come back? >> it is still unclear but obviously if they appoint a new president it seems unlikely at this point the board met for 12 hours yesterday obviously they were undecided about what to do there were members who wanted her to come back but did not have the votes. prior to this meeting we heard they had up to 8 members supporting her return, but she needed 9 and i think she would have wanted more to have that support before she would stay. >> can you put this in some perspective for us. what is going on there? she has not been accused of any wrong doing, any malfeasance or anything, i get the sense that you know, some people just feel like she wasn't moving fast enough to make some changes at uva is that what this is all about. >> exactly it. when the ousting happened a week ago people were sure there was one incident or one scandal we would hear about but haven't and it does not sound like that is it. the board merely wanted her to move faster, make cuts to save money, to treat uva more like a business, than an academic institution and she had resisted that. why did she resign? i mean i understand, that one member of the board there had conservations with the other members and found out that okay, we can -- i've got enough votes here to get her out of here but why not go through the process, and see if they have enough to get her out. >> president sullivan gave a statement yesterday she mostly talked about her record at the university one can assume when the director, chairman of the board, approaches you and says i have 15 of 16 members who want to remove you she thought for the institution and maybe herself why go through the public spectacle. no one could predict what would have happened over the last week because there was a public spectacle >> i want to ask, if college campuses are very political. are there any politics at play here whether it is campus politics with the board there has been some talk about half the board was appointed by bob mcdonald although the other half was appointed by tim cain any politics going on on campus there that resulted in all of this? >> i don't see anything thatis republican democratic politics the board was equally split but what we are seeing is sort of a greater issue happening across the united states which is you know, the problem with universities is they still want to be universities but all this financial pressure money is cut back and so it is more of a business model versus academic model. >> now you mention the money is being cut back, some donors have said well, we might not give any more money or we will withhold money unless this is addressed and she is reinstated or looked at further, that is a lot of money could that have an impact. >> it could. i talked to several donors in the last few days we are talking multi million dollar donors, they have buildings named after them. a couple said they were very very concerned one who has given $60 million, she and her husband, said she would not -- she would withhold her money until changes are made on the board. >> we will see how it develops, anita reporting from richmond with the washington post thanks for joining us. >> thanks so much. >> 8:20 a.m. on tuesday, still ahead, microsoft looking to take a bite out of apples ipad success. a little later some of the best chefs in the district will show off their best

numbers. they are saying after those you know, those ads hit, the television, we had the woman with the traik yet my the man who lost his -- traik yet my, the man who lost his leg, 200,000 people called quit lines, 400,000 accessed, smoke free.gov. we are talking a cost savings of $70 million. and a lot of happy people i must say. >> yeah, really having quite an impact what kind of impact are they tracking specifically. >> well, you know i think what is happening is these graphic photos, graphic pictures are sticking in their minds. they are seeing relatively young people with consequences of smoking when you see that you remember it and they believe that keeps coming back and getting them to call the quit line. >> real quick, let's switch gears we all hate catching a cold this has been cold season a lot of people have been sick recently. these viruses may be helping us fight cancer how so? >> well, you know this is not the same virus that causes those symptoms, sneezing and coughing this is part of something called a rio virus, and row at that virus something that causes diarrhea symptoms is part of that family. these rye owe viruses don't cause symptoms or problems in adults however they some how selectively attack cancer cells they took ten people and infused them into their veins with this virus. these people went on to have surgery, they had colorectal cancer, they looked at the cancer in the liver and they found, that actually the viruses had taken hold and they were replicating within the cells we know that what happens with viruses once they get into a cell they take it over make it into a little factory once they make enough viral cells it bursts open and kills the cell i believe the hope is these viruses will hunt down those cancer cells and kill them. >> what is next where are we at, in that stage? >> you know the good news it has already been used in humans we know it will probably get into more clinical trials who knows maybe they will be able to combine that virus with something else and give it a one two punch. i think long term the hope is, to treat cancer it may be something we do with multiple drugs multiple modalities and some day it will be like diabetes something we can treat and control. we can always hope. >> we can certainly hope that is a good goal to have. dr. jo in florida thank you so much >> thank you. sarah that is fascinating. i know because as we know, cancer is such a major problem around the world, so anything they can do would be great. >> coming up roger clemens acquitted on all charges his lawyer joins us

will thomas, with rusty harden down in our newsroom. will. >> good morning to you. as you said, clemens walked out of the federal courthouse acquitted, the man who helped him do that, rusty harden. good to have you here sir. >> thank you. >> congratulations on your win. let's talk about the key witness from prosecution the government saying his former trainer, injected him with performance enhancing drugs, that is what mcnamee testified to. you went after his credibility didn't you. >> sure because we always knew and believed he was lying and we thought if we exposed him enough to the jury they would conclude the same thing. we talked to three of the 12 jurors they didn't believe him. >> can you tell us more. >> they said they didn't think he was worthy of belief they couldn't believe his stories collection of physical evidence, totally disregarded that, thought it was fabricated. >> why do you think mcnamee would go after clemens. >> we never had a good answer for that and i still don't, but, we can't always figure out, what makes some people, who are pathological liars, pathological liars. >> he is not here to defend himself you are the afence attorney. jason if you push back a minute let me show you what courtroom observers said when that was read, rusty harden went like this, sigh of relief? surprised at the verdict? maybe a little of both? >> big sigh of relief. you are always nervous, even though you think you know, it has come out the right way you thing the jury has been convinced but you don't know until 12 people tell you. it is a big sigh of relief when it came back as quickly as it did they only deliberated 3.5 hours last wednesday and yesterday, 4. >> about 10 hours. >> even less than 10 hours that's right. so we didn't think that jury was going the find us guilty so we isn't lex which you wily thought he was going to be found not guilty but scared to death. >> you would agree, fierce as a pitcher outside the courthouse he was emotional. let me roll some of that sound now. >> all you media guys that know me and followed my career i put a lot of hard work into that career, and i appreciate my teammates that came in and all the e-mails and phone calls. what did he say to you? >> thank you. a million times, i love you, listen, the guy outside the courtroom that is who he is off the field. on the field he is the fiercest competitor you will find but off the field he is a teddy bear. people don't believe it that was him. why he was so emotional, for four and a half years people believed he cheated. >> in the court of public opinion some say he is still at a loss he said himself when he testified to congress clemens said no matter whether we discuss here i am never going to get my name restored will he end up in the hall of fame? >> no idea. interesting thing about it, that has been more the media and sports question, roger has never talked about the hall of fame he never said privately he hoped to be there. if they put him in that is fine he deserves to be there but he will not lose sleep over that he wanted his reputation back how the public reacts to that, will depend on time. >> rusty harden, thanks for being our guest. >> sure. >> sarah to you. all right thank you so much will. well, the healthy baby project in the district, if you have not heard of it it works with young moms at risk to make sure they get preand post natal care and make sure they have skills to care for that child. this nonprofit is at risk of having to close its doors joining us regene and chastity one of the young moms helped through the project. thanks for coming in. >> thank you for having us. >> for folk who is haven't heard of the healthy babies project we get a sense how much you are really involved in these girl's lives what you do for them. >> there is a quote i like to use from abraham lincoln he states no man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child. healthy babies has been standing tall for 22 years ensuring babies in underserved areas are born healthy particularly in wards 5, 7 and 8 where that is the highest number of young women that we see coming in, and support that we provide. 93% of babies that we service are born, 93% of the babies are born normal birth weight a lot of the young moms that come in are struggling with issues of homelessness. access to food, depression, domestic violence, and we provide that support we provide that listening ear. we ensure that the mothers have access to what they need, so that they can survive and move forward in a positive direction in their lives. there is a lot of what i call gentle pushing you know, that occurs because it is more than just about ensuring that baby is born healthy, you know, that is definitely a key piece, but ensuring that moms move in a direction of change for herself you know because we are trying to impact two generations. >> right. >> that mom and her baby making sure that mom finishes high school, that mom goes on to college, you know, we are trying to create -- we are not trying to create tax burdens make the moms self-sufficient. >> you have been operating just fine for 22 years obviously right now with the economy everybody has taken a hit a lot of foundations, nonprofits you work with a lot of grants, you are just kind of at this point you need a little help explain. >> with the economic down turn a lot of foundations have definitely had a shift, the district government has been flat funded so we are looking to the community to provide us with that assistance, in helping the moms. >> $150,000 gap. >> right. >> real quickly because chastity is here it is good for people to hear how this directly impacted. give me a little about your story and how healthy babies helped you >> my mother passed away when i was 13 i didn't have that guidance i needed and i came to healthy babies when i was 8 months pregnant, i go to teen parenting program on mondays and get to bring my daughter and there is other moms there either pregnant or have babies of their own and it is just a good place to bond with other young mothers and you know, talk with the people there and you know they have helped me enrol to go to udc starting in the fall, so, it is just that extra boost and guidance. >> something you just really needed and she is adorable by the way. >> thank you. >> give viewers an idea maybe how they can help. >> sure, if they can help by going online at www.healthy babies project.org they can call us at (202)396-2809 like us on facebook and twitter as well and they can come visit us as 801, 17th street northeast. one thing chastity didn't state when she mentioned the other day she was in my office she wanted to go to college, and i said so what is the issue with you going to college and she goes well, the registration fee and so i pulled out you know my credit card and whipped up the website and logged on and said all right let's just do this. >> that is a huge help. >> yeah, it is that gentle push because we want to redefine the teen mom statistics and make her dreams come true. >> well, thank you so much chastity, thank you and hopefully some viewers will watch and help out it is such a great cause thank you. >> thank you very much. >> tony over to you. >> cute baby. >> she is adorable. >> thank you very much. the battle of the best at hanks
