The news is back in the morning. Well see you at 7 00. All right, charlie. A big day for us with the debut of cbs and the ravens and the steelers. Have a good morning. It is 6 32. President obama says the United States is ramping up its campaign against the militant group known as isis and isil. The president addressed the nation to detail his plans to counter the growing threat against American Financial and corporate interests in iraq and syria. Craig boswell has more. We will hunt down terrorists that threaten our country wherever we are. Reporter the president outlined his plan to tackle threat abouts i isis. We will degrade and ultimately dry isil through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. Reporter the president made it clear his plan does not include u. S. Combat forces on the ground. This Counterterrorism Campaign will be through a relentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our air power and our support from Partner Forces on the ground. Reporter that includes isis sites in iraq where the u. S. Has already launched more than 150 air strikes and in syria where the pentagon is still identifying targets. Is a core principle of my presence here. If you threaten america, will you find no safe haven. Reporter president obama is asking congress to fund the campaign against isis but its not clear how long that mission will last or how much it will cost. Hes sending an additional 475 troops to support iraqi forces. He also asks lawmakers for approval to train and equip syrian fighters to take on isis. I welcome congressional support for this effort in order to show the world that americans are united in confronting this danger. Reporter and the president will lead a meeting of the u. N. Security council in two weeks to build international support. Craig boswell, cbs news, the white house. House Speaker John Boehner said the. Present add compelling case for action. More questions remain about how the president intends to act. You probably noticed the president referring totter i. R. S. Group as isil as opposed to isis. Theres a reason he does that. Isis stands for Islamic State in iraq and syria because the groups territory straddles the border between the two countries. Isil stands for the Islamic State in iraq and the levant. The reason u. S. Officials use isil instead of isis is to emphasize the groups goal to expand beyond the borders of syria and iraq. The vet Veterans Affairs department is announcing a new campaign.

John is as good harbaugh in addressing his team and addressing the media. You know john. Reporter n. F. L. Network analyst and former coach Steve Maricucci knows by askingoff type, the by kickoff time, the ravens will have heard a lot. He will put things into perspective. He will lay it out how it is, how theyre going to proceed from here on out and lets play ball. Reporter the thing is the other team coming to play ball is the ravens hated rival, the pittsburgh steelers. With this uncomfortable ray rice saga still unfolding, will the steelers smell blood in the water . I put the coach to bill wower. If you were cower. If you were coaching pittsburgh, were you salivating a little bit of a team back on its heels because of outside distractions . I dont think so. These things have a way of galvanizing a team. There will be so much electricity, so much energy in the stadium, that you want to make sure you get off to a fast start. You dont want to get the crowd into it. Reporter james brown points out that while its our job as broadcasters to talk on and on about these stories, the players have a job, too. From a big picture standpoint and im sure you would react to this as a broadcaster, as a news man is how do you advance the story . But the players are tired of talking about it. So they cant wait to get between the lines and to actually vent their frustration on the field. That was Derek Mcginty reporting from baltimore.

Its the second most serious charge in the case. The judge is still reading the verdict as we speak and has not made a ruling about the culpable homicide charge. He could be sentenced to life in prison. He is accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on valentines day last year. He says he thought there was an intruder in the home. He faces several additional charges for firing a gun in public. She could find him guilty still of common murder or culpable homicide so its still going to abwhile before we get a final deciding verdict on his guilt or innocence. Well keep you updated at wusa9. Com. That has been going on three hours . It started before 4 00 a. M. Check out this shot on the michael son weather camera a few moments before sunrise. Beautiful skies this morning. Broken clouds out there but theyre so good looking, hope nobody fixes them. That was a little joke. Weather wise, lets show you the football forecast. Temperatures which are climbing into the 80s to near 90 today. By 6 00 tailgaters may be dodging a shower or storm. Actually 3 00, 4 00, 5 00, 6 00. After that, i think all the activity moves south and east. Well be in good shape for kickoff at 8 25. We have you covered starting at 5 00 on wusa9 and cbs takes over at 7 30. One more look. Its a pretty morning. Temperatures running in the mid to upper s on this afternoon. Upper 80s this afternoon. Possibly near 90. Scattered storms by 5 00. Should mostly be south and east of washington but that means Southern Maryland, the northern neck, fredricksburg, lower Eastern Shore will still be under the gun. By 9 00 79. Temps, its a muggy, mild morning out there. Upper 60s and low 70s. You can wear the short sleeves. No need for a jacket today. Maybe a little rain gear later on if you get caught in one of those passing showersors storms. At Reagan National 72. South, southwest winds at 11 00 so thats continuing to bring warm and humid air with the dew point in the mid60s. Thats going to lead to potential thunderstorms later on. Theres a cold front easy to spot on the map when you see ohio. We drop into the 350s for detroit. 50s for detroit. Chicago 51 behind the line of showers and storms extending from oklahoma all the way into new york state right now. We will see this area of low pressure pass to the north. These showers if they hold together, some could be here late morning but looks like well have a tougher time potentially making the trip across the appalachians.
