Morgan: Do you fear that war is imminent; do you fear that there will be military conflict, perhaps before the end of this year, between your country and Israel?

Ahmadinejad: Of course the Zionists are very much, very adventuresome, very much seeking to fabricate things and I think they see themselves at the end of the line and I do firmly believe that they seek to create new opportunities for themselves and their adventurous behaviors.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A steady stream of thin clouds moving in from the Gulf will produce some cloud complications through our Tuesday, dimming the sunlight a bit and only allowing partial sunshine. On the brighter side, humidity will stay at lower levels for one more day, so the air won't be quite as humid as what we're used to this time of year.

Even though we expect a considerable amount of clouds around today, it doesn't look like these clouds will be accompanied by much rain. In fact, our atmosphere continues to stay fairly dry and stable, so rain chances will stay rather low through our Tuesday. We'll mention the potential for one or two isolated showers, but most spots will stay dry until rain chances kick into higher gear Wednesday.

Temperatures will be a little lower today with our sunshine somewhat limited, so look for afternoon highs to only climb into the mid to upper 80s. Tonight's temperatures will be fairly pleasant with lows expected to cool into the low 70s.

SOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN NEW YORK.

GET MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION.

THEY'RE ALSO GETTING BIRTH CONTROL AND THE SO-CALLED "MORNING AFTER" PILLS.

AND NEW TODAY.WE'RE HEARING FROM THE KIDS AND PARENTS THEMSELVES.

NYC SCHOOLS BIRTH CONTROL CONTROVERSY-PKG

THE CATCH PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE NATION. SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TARGET TEEN PREGNANCY BY GIVING PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ACCESS TO BIRTH CONTROL PILLS -- INCLUDING THE PLAN B "MORNING AFTER" PILL. ALL -- HANDED OUT BY SCHOOL NURSES AND AVAILABLE WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.

It comes in handy for the girls who need it who like to have sex and they don't want to get pregnant.

ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH -- MORE THAN 7-THOUSAND GIRLS IN NEW YORK CITY WILL BECOME PREGNANT BY AGE 17. 90 PERCENT OF THOSE PREGNANCIES ARE UNPLANNED AND MORE THAN HALF ARE TERMINATED. TO COMBAT THAT -- CATCH IS AVAILABLE AT 13 SCHOOLS IN HIGH RISK ZONES.

We're trying a pilot program for schools that don't have a full nursing unit in the schools but teenage pregnancy is just, the good news is that we've brought teenage pregnancy down by something like 25 percent over the last 10 years. The bad news is there's still an awful lot of girls who get pregnant at a very early age.

BUT CATCH HAS BECOME CONTROVERSIAL AMONG PARENTS AND EVEN TEACHERS.

I don't agree with it because you can give a kid a pill after from 14 on but you can't give them an aspirin if they have a headache, makes no sense

I think that's awful. I think with something like that its very intrusive, these are still children, they're not 18 years old they're in high school and they don't have the experience, the knowledge or maturity to make those decisions for themselves.

THERE ARE ALREADY OTHER PLACES FOR TEENS TO TURN. PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND EVEN DRUGSTORES IN SOME CASES OFFER FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL BIRTH CONTROL TO KIDS AS YOUNG AS 10 -- NO PARENTAL CONSENT REQUIRED NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

I mean there's some parents that don't approve of it and some kids might need it just in case it happens.

It is pretty tough to have that conversation because you know they're starting to grow up.

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A steady stream of thin clouds moving in from the Gulf will produce some cloud complications through our Tuesday, dimming the sunlight a bit and only allowing partial sunshine. On the brighter side, humidity will stay at lower levels for one more day, so the air won't be quite as humid as what we're used to this time of year.

Even though we expect a considerable amount of clouds around today, it doesn't look like these clouds will be accompanied by much rain. In fact, our atmosphere continues to stay fairly dry and stable, so rain chances will stay rather low through our Tuesday. We'll mention the potential for one or two isolated showers, but most spots will stay dry until rain chances kick into higher gear Wednesday.

Temperatures will be a little lower today with our sunshine somewhat limited, so look for afternoon highs to only climb into the mid to upper 80s. Tonight's temperatures will be fairly pleasant with lows expected to cool into the low 70s.
