or approach. steve handelsman has more. >> thanks. good evening. this is a twin message today from the obama democrats. number one, that they are not rebooting. number two, that they are rededicating to job creation. the day after his state of the union promise to focus on the economy, president obama went to florida touring an air force base sending supplies to haiti and announcing $8 billion in high-speed rail grants to 31 states and the district of columbia. >> creating jobs has to be our number one priority in 2010. >> reporter: back in washington, democrats echoed tt. >> jobs, jobs, and jobs. >> reporter: but democrats are still pushing health care reform, vowing to crash gates and jump fences. >> that doesn't work, we'll parachute in, but we're going to get health care reform passed for the american people. >> reporter: if it sounds after the state of the union like the same obama agenda, it is. >> last night, he didn't reinvent himself. >> reporter: republicans agree and complain. >> there was nothing last night in the president's speech to indicate that there was any willingness to sit down and work together. >> reporter: barack obama admits he's back in campaign mode, fighting, he says, for working folks. >> that's why i ran for the state senate. that's why i ran for the u.s. senate. that's why i ran for president. to fight for people here in tampa and people here in florida. >> reporter: obama 2010 is sounding a lot like obama '08. a key difference is his focus on jobs and leading democrats today promised the president will get a jobs bill soon. live from the hill, i'm steve handelsman, news4. >> thank you, steve. >> you're welcome. ben bernanke will serve a second term as the chairman of the federal reserve. this afternoon, the senate confirmed his nomination by a vote of 70-30. the vote would seem to be a solid majority, but it's actually the closest vote ever for a fed chairman. bernanke has been credited with steering the u.s. economy through the recession but he has also been under fire for not seeing the financial crisis coming. his current four-year term expires january 31st. metro's board of directors has approved a fare hike for all its customers. it is going to cost an additional ten cents to ride trains and buses. all this comes as a transit agency is facing a $40 million budget gap and some other big changes. chris gordon is at the tenleytown metro station with more. >> students, the elderly and poor people may face new challenges trying to afford to ride metro on a daily basis. the new ten-cent fare hike goes into effect in march. the metro board voted after a public hearing in which 88 people spoke out on four options that would either raise fares or reduce services. the board decided that riders favored the ten-cent fare surcharge rather than sacrifice services. >> our action reflects a very clear message that we got from our customers, which is preserve services. and we got that very clearly and -- and we acted in conformity with that message. >> reporter: riders won't have to face longer waits for buses and trains, but how do they feel about paying an extra ten cents a ride? >> well, i wouldn't be happy about it, but i would do it. the best way to get around the city, i think. >> to me personally y can handle it, but i'm concerned for people that are marginalized and -- >> you're concerned about poor people? >> yes. >> reporter: the metro board began its meeting expressing condolences to the families of the men killed tuesday while working in a track bed. hit by a high-rail truck driven by another crew on the same track. >> so i'd ask for you to join with me in a moment of silence in their memory and in their honor. >> reporter: jim graham's term expired today. and he passed the gavel on to the new chairman, peter benjamin. benjamin publicly addressed the crisis of confidence caused by metro's safety record over the past seven months. >> clearly we have a problem with our safety at the present time and the trick is not to do the same thing over and over again but to do something new and different. the department of transportation on the highest levels has responded to our requests and said we will help you do something new and different. >> metro's new chairman says he is reaching out to metro employees and their unions saying their help is critical in solvinsafety problems. back to you in the studio. >> thank you, chris. well, some of us may see some winter weather this weekend. bob has got more on that. snow, bob? >> i think it certainly -- anything will be snow as mild as it has been today with temperatures in the 50s. for the folks in the southern suburbs down towards stafford and eventually into st. mary's county, a winter storm watch. that's for saturday. the heart of the storm looks like it will be well to our south and where it does really impact the area of the mountains of north carolina, could be over a foot of snow. there is going to be a combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain into south carolina. we really are on the northern fringe of that. nonetheless, we'll see maybe an inch or two of a very powdery, fluffy snow. look at pittsburgh right now. 17 degrees so arctic air is coming in. here's the saturday outlook. icing possible, even into south carolina. light snow likely i think for the washington area. there could be upwards of five inches of fluffysnow. it will be all out of her as we get into sunday. we'll tell you all about it when i join you. >> thank you, bob. the teenage son of a prominent community activist was murdered in

dead, this would have killed him. >> reporter: councilman jim graham had this reaction to what happened here last night. >> that's a great tragedy for our staff. it's certainly a great tragedy for calvin and his very large family to have somebody 18 years old, his life brought to such a violent end. >> this was to have been a big day for calvin woodland. you see, he just got a full-time job at a rec center. today was to have been his first day on the job. doreen, back to you. >> pat collins reporting from southeast. thank you, pat. in maryland, several students are being interviewed at one

recall for faulty gas pedals has extended overseas now to europe and to china. >> tonight, the company says it may know what's causing problems with the accelerator and the manufacturer of the pedals may have a fix. >> there's a lot of mays in this story. today the company that makes the acc accelerators says it is in the midst of producing new pedals. the company cts says the new accelerators are meant to fix vehicles already owned by toyota customers and will be installed in new cars. toyota says condensation may be to blame for possibly causing the pedals to react slowly when a driver presses on the gas or in rare cases may get stuck and accelerate without warning. until there is a new pedal, there is no fix for current customers. the pedal problem has caused toyota to recall 2.3 million vehicles in the u.s. and today the recall has been extended to europe and to china. several rental car companies are pulling toyota vehicles from their fleets. and other car companies such as ford and general motors are offering incentives to existing toyota customers such as interest-free loans for customers who trade in recalled toyota vehicles. toyota is also recalling five u.s. models for potential floor mat interference with the gas pedal. those models include the 2008 to 2010 highlander, 2009 to 2010 vendsa, 2009 to 2010 pontiac vibe, 2009 to 2010 corolla, 2009 to 2010 matrimatrix. these recalls are in adidition o the recalls for the accelerator which include the avalon, the camry, which is the top-selllin car, the tundra, the highlander, the sequoia, the rav-4, the corolla and the matrix. so one more thing that's happening here that's not happening overseas is the suspension of the production of these models. the pedal in question is no longer being used in europe. this is long, messy, big, millions, complicated stuff. >> and two separate problems. >> two separate problems, but both having to do with the cars accelerating. in one case, the floor mats. in other cases, the accelerator itself. it's a mess. for the first time in four years, the ford motor company is reporting a profit. the company made $2.7 billion last year. ford said cost-cutting and the popularity of its fusion and escape models are responsible for it all. the automaker lost a record amount of money. officials say thiexpect this year to be another profitable one. some big losses for techstocks prompted a slide on the market today. the dow plunged more than 115 points. the average is down about 3% overall for january, the 1worst monthly decline since last february. the nasdaq lost 42 points. the s&p slipped 13 points. more than two dozen websites run by members of congress were hacked last night right after the president's state of the union address. the websites belong to mebs of both parties and included the home page for republicans on the house oversight committee. the hackers changed the home pages to one with a blank white screen and a single line of text with an anti-obama vulgarrity. it was signed by the red eye crew, the same group that's taken credit for defacing thousands of websites including virginia's old dominion university and government websites in brazil. world leaders met in london today to talk about the way forward in afghanistan. 60 countries were represented at the meeting. they agreed to begin handing over security duties to afghan forces by early next year. they also promised to contribute to a $500 million fund that will be used to buy off some taliban fighters. there's hope that at least 12,000 junior members of the taliban could be persuaded to quit the group and accept the money to defend their villages. that would free up military fortss to go after hard-core taliban fighters. western countries will help train afghan soldiers to take up security duties by the end of 2011. >> this is not an exit strategy. it is about assisting and parnerring with the afghans. >> afghan president hamid karzai foresees the presence of troops in his country for the next ten years. coming up on "news4 at 6," we'll tell you about a school district in virginia that's pulling a version of the diary of anne frank off of shelves. authorities

tomorrow and the next couple of days. we'll still be on the fringe of that storm. it is a big, big storm. right now, all sorts of problems in oklahoma. they'll spread through arkansas, parts of the deep south getting a real touch of winter. our clouds today have broken up now. our temperature outside after a high temperature, 54 degrees. now into the 40s. this january, remember how cold december was? this january even though it's felt cold, on average it's about -- almost two degrees above average. beautiful moon out there. tomorrow is the full moon. i think we'll still see it with some high clouds coming in. 45 degrees. it will be about 20 degrees below that at this time tomorrow with a windchilled 39. look at the temperatures around the east. we're still 45. still 50s in raleigh-durham. raleigh is one of the spots under the bullseye of this big storm. look at the cold air, arctic air, pouring out of canada. temperatures in buffalo and around chicago have dropped ten to 15 degrees from 24 hours ago. there's the cold air coming in. you can see around the lakes they've been catching it. lank lancast lancaster, new york, seven inches of snow. those snows will miss us. those will stay to the north as the cold air comes. but here is the other storm. boy, you can get on idea of that snow. it's a mixture of sleet, freezing rain around oklahoma city. ality around wichita falls on into dallas, there are thunderstorms. you get an idea of how all of that is moving out toward the east. you can see it from way out in space. there's that storm and there's the wave in the atmosphere. covering much of the southern part of north america. meanwhile in the southern hemisphere, the heat has been on in australia. they're in the middle of summertime. you can see some summertime thunderstorms, parts of south africa. meanwhile, this is the big winter storm moving through across the heartland. that winter storm warning extends now into spots like memphis, tennessee, on into kentucky and also north carolina. that storm begins to move out of texas. watch as it moves into mississippi. they'll be getting an alabama rain. but on the north side by tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, the snows spread through tennessee, kentucky and then head on into north carolina. the track itself, i still think it's going to be to our south. that means we'll be seeing the cold air continue to come in but we'll be really more on the edge and the fringe of that snow and a light, fluffy snow it will be for us right now in washington. you folks in pennsylvania may misst entirely. on the other hand, from about richmond south into spots like roanoke, it will be a heavy snow. if you're thinking about driving south, rethink it. if you're heading up to philadelphia or new york city for the weekend, it will be i think partly to mostly sunny there. no big impact farther up the coast. so overnight tonight, we've got the clear skies, the bright full moon out there. that other bright object to the lower left of the moon is the planet mars. a lot of sunshine tomorrow. will be cold sunshine. then we'll see the increase in clouds. there's the snow coming in. saturday morning, no problems for you friday evening. and then some light snow, fluffy snow around us in washington. perhaps though as much as several inches in maryland down toward fredericksburg. then the storm moves off. it's cold into sunday and monday. another chance of a little bit of that stuff on tuesday. that one looks mild. it won't be a major storm here in washington. >> thank you, bob. coming

be okay. that boy is being held on animal cruelty and weapons charges. he could get ten years in juvenile detention facilities. cameras will be installed along the dulles toll road to catch drivers avoiding paying. drivers have found ways to avoid the tolls by using a gas station on the dulles access road or by going all the way out to dulles international airport and then coming back. they're asking the virginia general assembly to allow the installation of cameras and vehicle scanners to catch those who avoid payment. the police handed out 1,200 tickets for back-tracking in 2009. automakers say there's a glimpse into the future,ed a vantses that could save you money at the pump and they're now on display at the washington auto show. that show today was also the site of a surprise announcement from department of energy secretary steven chu. his agency has closed a $1.4 billion loan agreement with nissan to modify a manufacturing plant in tennessee so that it can create a zero-emission, all-electric vehicle that would be called the nissan leaf. chusays the agreement would create up to 1,300 jobs at that plant. >> they are jobs that will decrease our dependency on foreign oil, save money for american consumers, lead in vehicle manufacturing and above all else, this is laying the foundation to create high-quality american jobs, now, tomorrow, and decades in the future. >> that loan is part of more than $113 billion that the department of energy plans to invest in electric vehicles and next-generation biofuels. a bill that would make flooded cars easier to sell in virginia is a step closer to becoming law. the house votes today to increase the amount of repair work allowed on a flooded car before it must be disclosed on a vehicle's title. the new law would up the amount of work to $5,000. cars are more expensive than when the law was first created. opponents say it would make virginia a dumping ground for cars. the senate sent its version back to

book after a parent complained. the book is the diary of a young girl, the definitive edition. this version contains sexual references. a less-graphic version of the book will now be available in culpepper schools. the diary chronicles the jewish teenager's life in germany from july 1942 until she was taken into custody in august 1944. she died in a concentration camp. anne frank's own father

old one. we're delighted. >> reporter: tom sherwood, news4, washington. the historic eastern market on capitol hill was also destroyed by a fire on the same day as that georgetown library fire. the

the winter storm watch. essentially stafford, fredericksburg ar. tonight, into the low 20s. even around town. out in leesburg, manassas and sterling and up into gaithersburg. i think you'll wake up tomorrow morning probably in the high teens. bundle up. high temperatures tomorrow only into the 30s. there's the storm now in texas. its impact over the next couple of days will spread all the way into georgia with rain and then ice into parts of north georgia and south carolina. perhaps serious icing in the northwestern south carolina and some heavy snows but southern virginia around here i think it's likely to be a very light, fluffy snow that we can deal with. nothing like that december snowstorm. after that, sunshine but cold as we get into sunday and monday. back to you. >> thanks, bob. the fairfax search and rescue team is back home this evening. they were in haiti helping with rescue efforts in the wake of the earthquake in that country. they arrived at dulles airport this afternoon and currently are being debriefed. we'll have more on their mission tonight at 11:00. meanwhile, in haiti, the struggle to feed the survivors of the earthquake continues. even the most basic distribution of supplies continues to be a challenge. but despite that, there are small signs of normalcy returning to the island more than two weeks after the quake. michelle kosinski has our report. >> reporter: a 15-year-old girl was pulled back into the world yesterday. 15 days after the earthquake levelled her home on top of her. she won. but a part of the daily fight for survivors here under broiling sun is simply to wait with thousands for food and water. so daunting a situation that tuesday the world food program ended up having to abandon a plan to hand out a million meals for lack of security. for others, hopes of survival have ended. at the site of the once grand montana hotel where six members of a team from a university in florida remain buried. the effort has turned to recovery. the university says it is now time to grieve. but here in the marketplaces where colors bloom and where more people finally have money thanks to banks opening, some corners feel almost normal. at least for those moments. a time to take a breath again. several organizations put it this way for us. the goal has been to move this situation in haiti from the emergency room into the recovery room and they say there are some signs that that is happening now. michelle kosinski, nbc news, port-au-prince. at least 135 people buried in the rubble have been rescued by search teams since that earthquake. a man charged with murdering an abortion doctor in kansas explained what was going through his mind before the shooting. scott roer took the stand in a wichita courtroom today. he's accused of killing dr. george tiller in church last may. today roeder told the court what happened after he spotted the doctor during the church service that day. >> i got up at that moment and followed him out and -- into the foyer area. i did what i thought was needed to be done to protect the children. i shot him. >> roeder has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. his attorneys are expected to push for a lesser charge because roeder believed that killing the doctor was saving children. a dump truck caused a big mess this week in turkey. that truck was driving with its bed up and it slammed into a pedestrian bridge. it happened in the city of istanbul. the bed of the truck smashed into the bridge and brought if crumbling down. one person was injured in that incident. the death toll from that apartment building explosion in eastern belgium continues to rise. nine people now have been found dead in the rubble. more than 20 people were injured. the explion is being blamed on a gas leak inside the building. firefighters are afraid they will find more victims as they continue their search. that dog that was rescued from an ice floe in the baltic sea now has a name and the guarantee of the permanent home. he was caught on an ice floe when the crew of a ship spotted it and brought it on board yesterday. the crew has now decided to name the dog baltic. baltic survived temperatures as low as 31 degrees below zero when he was out there afloat. the ship and the dog are now docked in poland and presumably all warmed up. >> that dog has earned a warm spot for the rest of his natural life. >> sure has. >> he doesn't ever need to be cold again. what's coming up, dan? >> we'll go to the ice. this is the caps' ice. they continue to streak as the hottest team in the nhl. the redskins hire a familiar face t their coaching staff. he's a coaching rookie. plus, gilbert arenas and javaris critens tenton haven't been completely removed from verizon i just said to dan, what have you got? he says, wizards. you know what occurred to me right away? if they can't beat these turkeys, then they ought to just go ahead and -- they already lost to the clippers, which is bad enough. the clippers, didn't the clippers just beat the nets? no, the nets just beat the clippers, right? >> the nets are on a historically bad none. >> it's incredible. >> they are so, so bad. >> the only thing the wizards have going for them is that the nets are so bad. >> it takes a little beforeof t pressure off of them. there's so much going on with this team right now. in a classic gilbert fashion, he can't get suspended without controversy. gilbert said that he asked david stern to suspend him for the season. stern said that never happened. whatever the case may be, gilbert is gone and the wizards trying to move on to get ready for games against people like the nets. that process started today. as you can see on the practice court, they have not been erased totally. javaris crittenton and gilbert arenas still there, their pictures on the wall. antoine jamison trying to move on. flip saunders is leading the charge for moving on. >> i think that there was a sense that there was more relief in knowing that -- because i talked to them before practice. it's time now to move on. you know, those -- those are two players that are -- they have a lot of guys that they are friends with in there and everyone cares about them. we'll still care about them, but as a -- as a team and as professionals, you know, right now we have to move on. >> i thought last year was tough, but, you know, it was very disappointing. you know, expectations and a couple of years ago in the second round on the doorstep, trying to break through now. you know, you are at the bottom of the pack. you just sit there and ask questions like where did it go wrong? so for me, i'm struggle a little bit. you know? mentally. >> antoine jamison will find out tonight if he has been selected as a reserve to the all-star team. well, from slumped shoulders and sadness to straight fun. nobody in sports having more fun than the capitals right now. they've entered the third period last night tied at 1-1. then the cap s exploded for fou goals. the team hasow won eight straight going for nine in a row on friday, which would be the longest winning streak for the capitals in 26 years. safe to say that the caps have definitely found their groove. last night, early in the first period, no score. the shot doesn't go. the ducks trying to clear it but mike green keeps it in the caps' zone. mike knuble tips it right over to alex ovechkin for the easy goal. his 34th of the year. early third period, check this t out. boom! right there. alex ovechkin, don't talk smack to this guy because he will lay the wood. he can score goals and he can hit. third period, caps up 2-1. morrison over to ovechkin. ovechkin feeds knuble. and knuble gets his 16th goal of the season. capitals up 3-1 now. later in the third, how about the pass. semin beats everybody to it. he has 25 goals now on the year. the capitals win 5-1. bruce boudreau was asked about that alex ovechkin hit, if that got the team going. >> it often does. i think we just kept coming. a hit a lot of times can be such a crowd getting into it or -- that's not even english. but you know what i'm talking about. >> we get iti, right? >> that's new. >> yeah, i like that. >> i like that. >> you know what i love best about bruce? he just laughs at himself. >> and we did know what he means. he communicated. >> we got it. ted leaunts responded to a report that indicated his bid to buy the wizards not going as smoothly as many expected. the report references on internal e-mail sent to employees of washington sports and entertainment that said he did not have exclusive rights to buy the team. he clearly disagrees saying in his blog at the end of the appraisal process established in my agreement with mr. polin, there is only one person or entity thatas the right to buy the outstanding share of washington sports and entertainment and that's the group that owns the wizards. he says it's my partnership. he owns 44% of the wizards. moving on to the redskins. they've made an addition to their coaching staff, believed to be the final piece to the puzzle and he's a rookie. it's keenan mccardell. mccardell started and finished his 16-year career with the redskins. he was a 12th-round pick in 1991. then in 2007, he came back and wrapped up his career with the redskins. he was a coaching internal for the giants last summer. that

the 45-carat hope diamond are both on display. it's the first time in 50 years that the wittelsbach is on display. it's more than 31 carats and was recently purchased at auction for $24 million. the gem dates back to the 1600s when the king of spain included it in the dowry of his teenage daughter. its color and clarity often draw comparisons with the hope diamond but just today the curator of the gem collection said that despite the uncanny resemblance, they are not part of the same crystal. the exhibit runs through august 1st.
