It's a Monday morning update from the news desk. Today's forecast is sunny and warm, with highs in the sixties. But the good weather can't distract us from the top stories. We're talking about the crisis in the Middle East, oil prices skyrocketing to over $100 a barrel, and the impact on gas prices. On Wall Street, the Dow is taking a hit, and at airports across the country, the partial government shutdown is causing long delays. We'll dive into these stories and more, including a new development in Iran, a security scare in New York City, and a warning from Boston police about a scam.
