Witnesses tell news4 the car was flying down h street when the dver hit a pole and burst into flames. The driver died. Molette green has been on the scene all morning and is live with the latest. Reporter barbara, good morning. I just spoke with d. C. Police a few minutes ago and they still have not identified the driver of a car. Most of the wreckage now gone. Its mostly back to business as usual. Only a few of the car parts remain strewn alongside the sidewalk and the curb here, evidence the terrible end to a mans life. You could see a motorcycle flying past, thats how far that car passed him where he lost control. Reporter the aftermath is horrific. Here at 14th and h in northeast, a man lost his life. Not much left of his gray nissan infiniti. Car parts scattered over an entire city block. I ran on the scene. There was a lot of smoke. Reporter a man who did not want his face on camera says he saw the trapped driver, conscious and moaning. He was halfway in and halfway out of the car. He was on the passenger side hanging out from the debris that you could see on the left side of the car. It was about ten minutes to 4 00 this morning. Im in my bed. Reporter this woman who would not tell us her name heard the impact from her Apartment Building on florida avenue, where police say the driver began to lose control. And i heard this loud, loud sound, louder than thunder. It sounded like a bomb had exploded. Reporter d. C. Police exact investigators spent the morning piecing this scene together, one car part at a time. When it hit the first traffic light pole, it hit a second d. C. Street car pole, one of the tension poles. Both are fixed objects which starred the disintegration of thvehicle. Reporter and it all ended with a final crash into the back of this tow truck. That driver was not hurt. Now d. C.

We are live along h street, im molette green, back to you in the studio. News4s Richard Jordan following more breaking news for us. Lets go back to him at the live desk. This is quite the development when it comes to marijuana in the district. D. C. Residents, it is going to be up to you to make the ultimate decision whether or not it will be legal to possess and grow pot in the district. That was the decision today from the city council. Theyre going to put this on the ballot in november. If approved by the voters, that means d. C. Voters over the age of 21 could possess up to two ounces of marijuana and could grow up to six Marijuana Plants inside their homes. The reason this is getting on the ballot is because a team of supporters got more than 57,000 signatures to get the measure onto the ballot. Now well have the election in november.

The president joined by 50 african heads of state right now for this final day of the summit. It is a forum, so to speak, and the president discussing a new africa that he says is emerging and a new model for the partnership that he wants to develop between the african nations and the united states. He says he has three goals, to expand trade which would create jobs, to strengthen those african governments in those african countries. He wants the governments to appear transparent to its citizens. Also deep in the security efforts there, we know and have heard about the terrorist Group Boko Haram that has been kidnapping young women. The president also briefly mentioned the Ebola Outbreak and the crisis that many african nations are dealing with. He said the u. S. Will help where it can. Thats the latest from the live desk, barbara. Thank you, richard. About an hour ago First Lady Michelle Obama and former First Lady Laura Bush kicked off an allday program for the spouses of the nearly 50 heads of state in washington, d. C. For the summit.

In fact theyre totally closing roads around the state department right now. Heres a look at where you should avoid.

The 23yearold was released in a Prisoner Exchange with the taliban. Fellow soldiers accuse bergdahl of abandoning his post before he was captured. Americans are fed up with washington. That according to a new nbc news wall street journal poll. Nbcs Political Writer carrie dan joins us to break down the poll results. Good morning. Good morning. So this is something we thought was happening but this new poll says that they really are kind of fed up. So what was the Approval Rating for the president and for congress . Well, the president hit an alltime low in this new poll of just 40 of people approving of him. We saw similar numbers that weve seen in the past for congress as well. Overall, our pollsters describe the american electorate, one word they used is cranky. Theyre fed up, theyre angry with everybody across the board, republicans and democrats. Theyre upset with the president both on the economy and his numbers on Foreign Policy are even lower than that 40 Approval Rating, so a lot of dissatisfaction with washington all around. We know that a lot of that anger is coming from the fact that americans are still trying to dig out from the great depression, but do they see any improvement in the economy . Did you ask that question . Those are an interesting observation pollsters made. 50 of the americans said yes, the economy is objectively Getting Better. Things seem to be Getting Better a little bit. But this is a stunning number. 64 of those we asked said that they believed that the recession is still affecting them personally today. That includes 40 of people who say in the last five years they have had a member of their household whos lost the job. These are big numbers and people are still feeling the effects of that recession, even though it seems to be Getting Better. Who do they blame for the recession . This administration, the Prior Administration . Washington, d. C. , all around. 71 of the public said that washington is to blame, their inability to get stuff done. So this is blanket disapproval, its republicans, democrats, members of congress, the administration. Americans are saying this should be your job to help fix this. Most of them are saying this isnt a big economic problem thats outside of washington, this is your inability, lawmakers in washington, to come together and find solutions that work for me and my family. Its a pretty interesting question that they ask on this particular poll. They said are you upset enough to get out and carry a sign, a protest sign. What did they say . 57 of people said, yes, i would go carry a protest sign for a day. That is democrats, independents and republicans. Democrats were more likely to say there was something that makes them upset enough to do that but independents and republicans say yes, ill take up a sign. From republicans that want to impeach the president to democrats on Immigration Rights and all across the board. Tell us about a special election in virginia. When eric cantor stepped aside, he requested a special election be held on november 4th to replace him. Governor Terry Mcauliffe has granted that request. Dave brat is the republican candidate there. He is expected to win. He would be able to take over that seat immediately instead of waiting until january when other members of congress are sworn in. November is getting closer and closer, isnt it . Right around the corner. A lot going on until then. Thanks, carrie. For more from carriean the rest of the nbc news political team, check out first read on nbcnews. Com. Were talking about the weather because we might get some storms later today. Chuck bell is here to talk about that. A chance for a rumble or two of thunder, yes, but Severe Weather not looking all that likely so a little good news there. A little bit more rain chances. Its rained on four of the first five days in the month of august, and today might very well make five out of the first six of the way things are going. Outside for now, we do indeed have filtered sunshine coming through an otherwise mostly cloudy sky here in washington. Temperatures are on the up and up, thanks to a little bit of early august sunshine getting on through. Theres the view over downtown washington. More than enough sunshine getting through now to cast shadows in downtown, but theres a lot more cloud cover out to our north and to the west of the city. Its 81 now at Reagan National airport. Humidity at 52 . So its not too bad out there, but the humidity will also continue to increase. North breeze right now at 14 Miles Per Hour helping to hold temperatures down just a touch. The weather impact on your day today, on the hole its going to be a low impact. Rain coverage is fairly light route there for now but that Rain Coverage and a little thunderstorm chance will be increasing as we go into the afternoon hours. Before the showers get here, still very high on the uv index, its at an 8 today, so dont forget your sun block. 70 degrees right now in hagerstown where the raindrops have been falling. 65 in thurmont. 81 in manassas. 77 in la ray. Fredericksburg at 88 degrees. So your afternoon into your evening planner, mostly cloudy skies for the next hour or so. Showers more and more likely in the metro area. After 3 00 or 4 00 this afternoon until 6 00. Occasional thunderstorms cant be ruled out. I have lowered our temperature back to the upper 80s. I dont know that well make 90 degrees because of the clouds and showers that continue to move on in. Again, no Severe Weather just yet. Just a couple of rain showers along i81 and also interstate 70 and the top end of 270 as well. Those raindrops, though most of them are going eastbound, i do think that theyll expand coverage southward as well. So rain chances on the up and up, at least a 40 chance youll get rained on today. Heres our future Weather Forecast for you hour by hour through the rest of your day. 1 30 this afternoon, a continuation of rain chances mainly out to the west of town. With time, by 3 00 theres one little thunderstorm going down through manassas and Fairfax County parkway. By 5 00 more showers in loudoun and Frederick County. Here we are stopped at 6 30 this afternoon. Thats the tail ending of the rush hour but along route 50 westbound in Loudoun County, pretty good chance for showers in the metro between 5 00 and 7 00 or 8 00 this evening. The nationals first pitch is 7 0 five. A rain delay cant be ruled out but i dont think theyll have to cancel the game and schedule it another day. I think well get enough dry time to otherwise get the game in. Highs today mostly in the mid to upper 80s. A cloudy and humid day, passing showers and again a risk of a thunderstorm or two, but no big Severe Weather today, so thats welcome news. Highs today generally in the mid to upper 80s. First check of the ole sevenday forecast looks good. Doesnt look any too oppressive by august standards. Our average high starting to drift back a little bit to 87. Well be at or below average for most of the next few days. Our best chance of seeing rain as of now comes up on sunday, but some of the newer computer models are trying to pull back on that weekend rain chance. So well let you know. Well see you later.

And its an overcast day this wednesday morning. Storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell will be back with an update on the threat of storms this afternoon. Right now you may want to consider changing your online passwords. Were learning about a massive data breach this morning thats affecting more than one billion user names and passwords across hundreds of thousands of websites. Nbc news chief justice correspondent Pete Williams has a look at who may be responsible. Reporter good morning. The company that discovered this, a milwaukee firm called whole security, is not naming the sites that were compromised but its fair to assume that it affected an enormous portion when you consider its more than a billion user Name Password combinations and the entire internet has Something Like three billion users, even though many of us use login combinations for different sites. We dont know which specific sites they were. The company doesnt want to single them out but its a reminder if we needed one that its best to assume that very little on the internet is secure. The bulk of this stolen data is not things like credit card numbers or names and home addresses, its email addresses. Its user Name Password combinations, all of which can be changed. So the experts say the best thing to do is assume that the nd change your login ave been information, even though that can be a big pain if you have lots of those. The good news apparently here is that whole security, this milwaukee company, says the russian crime ring that has gathered all this data hasnt done much with it yet. The Security Experts can often tell when data is sold because its typically offered in huge blocks and advertised in some of the internets dark corners. So the thought for the day, change your password. And for websites, get better security. Back to you. Thank you, pete. With your internet identity at risk, eun yang has the extra steps you can take to keep your family safe online. You should change your password, of course, but there is more you can do. First get a good password manager. Many are free and they all create and store complicated passwords so you dont have to remember all of them. Second, take a look at all of your passwords, delete any duplicates and get rid of any that are weak. Third, search your email. There are probably passwords same in some of your messages. Take extra steps to protect yourself, especially those critical accounts. Perhaps not facebook but your online banking, for example. If its offered set up a twostep verification where you enter an extra code after your pass code every time. For more information check nbcwashington. Com. For more information just search passwords.

Well, you may have started shopping for the supplies, but thats just one step in getting your children ready to go back to school. Dr. Joshua weiner joins us with a to do list that you should start with very soon besides buying those notebooks and pencils. What are the things that you say parents should start with . I think the first thing is taking a look at sleep. A lot of kids fall out of their sleep schedule over the summer. I see many teenagers in my practice who over the summer are going to bed at 3 00, 4 00 in the morning and waking up a noon. Clearly thats not a schedule that will work for kids during the school year. Thats the primary thing. Also look at after school activities, map things out, set rules regarding screen time and talk about addressing anxiety. School refusal and School Phobia are big issues for about 10 of kids. Lets talk about the sleep schedule. How should parents start changing her back to the School Sleep Schedule . I suggest they move the sleep time up 20 minutes each night until theyre getting to the required sleep time that theyre going to keep for school. So they want to go to bed 20 minutes sooner and set the alarm for 20 minutes earlier. You want to get kids to wake up, even if theyre still tired and want to stay in bed because the body takes a little time to train to get in a regular schedule. We think Everybody Needs eight hours are sleep but are there some kids with different needs . A lot of parents still think my kid is getting plenty of sleep, theyre getting eight hours. In general the rule of thumb is for Elementary School age kids near 11 hours, middle School Age Kids 10 hours, High School Kids 9 hours. I know a lot of people dont get that. But i actually think lack of sleep is one of the primary forces driving psychological problems. We know it impacts mood, attention, appetite. All sorts of things are impaired by not getting enough sleep. Its our High School Students that want to sleep 11 hours. You have a hard time getting them out of bed. Its interesting you bring that up, because some High School Kids have something called delayed sleep syndrome where theres a shift in their biological clock. Their bodies dont get tired until 2 00 or 3 00 in the morning and they want to sleep until 11 00, 12 00. Theres a problem with that, it doesnt match their School Schedule. Use things like melatonin and a light box to help those kids. Tell us about this after School Schedule that you think parents should have also. What should they plan on . Pretty simple thing. I think everybody should post on their refrigerator a schedule where its broken down by hour all the things they need to do, all the activities from day to day but also have time blocked for homework, time blocked for free time and time blocked for when theyre going to go to sleep. I think its important for the kids to see this so they can really track how much time they really have thats free. I think a lot of kids dont really think how little time they actually have to just have downtime because theres all these activities planned. Were talking about all the way through 12 years of school . I think its more important for the younger kids, but certainly theres no harm in getting a schedule and being able to take a look at what you have on hand. What about screen time, were talking television and computer screen time and iphones. This is a big battle for a lot of people. Tough because a lot of homework is done online. In general i think its wise to limit screen time to two hours a day. The big thing is limiting screen time. You want to stop it at least an hour or two before bedtime because it can interfere with the secretion of melatonin so it interferes with sleep. The other thing i suggest is that parents make kids turn in their phones at night or have their phone service shut off for both text and phone calls at a certain hour because way too many kids are sleeping with their phones and texting all night long.
