that fell overnight in arizona. that's where we find dylan drooi dwyer. that thing looks fierce behind you. >> reporter: it is fierce here, al, all this is washing through the nogales watch. a lot of

police the order was to sew isis' reach by carrying out and videotapeing a public beheading of someone you say picked randomly in the streets of sidfully police say the plot had been in the worked since may. he raised the terror alert from medium to high. this is just the kind of nightmare loda the u.s. and its allies fear, they return from the fight to commit acts of terror at home. at at

you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. using januvia and a sulfonylurea or insulin together may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may perform blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia today. it's in this spirit that ingu u.s. is becoming a new kind of company. ing u.s. is now voya. changing the way you think of retirement. >> announcer: "nbc10 news" starts now. good morning. i'm vai sikahema. we're in for another

friend she was lost and the second the cell phone went silent. overnight they released under surveillance showing this man following hannah graham in a downtown pedestrian mall. two minutes later graham is seen walking with the same man following her. shortly after it was released, police say the man in the video showed up at the police department and admitted following hannah because she appeared distressed, physically intoxicated adding he wanted to make sure he was okay. the man said he never talked about her and stopped fol her after he saw another man approach and put his arm around her. he told police it seems the other man either knew hannah or were trying to help. they are now looking for that man. meanwhile, other under surveillance images show her from earlier that evening outside a monita irish pub where she is seen walking by herself but never goes pence the bar. ten minutes later the second year uva student can be seen running then walking in front of this

stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. >> way, way back to the very first cell
