Maryland Northern Neck and the bay. Dont turn your back on a ravena rain chance. Temperatures are just cold enough on the northwestern edge of this where we could get a sleek pellet or two, but the ground is relatively warm. So no Winter Weather advisories of any kind but you do need to be on the lookout for raindrops, southern Calvert County into st. Marys county. Temperatures as i mentioned, were generally above freezing. Colder air towards manassas and ft. Belvoir. No big deal expected. For today youll need your rain jacket your hat and umbrella as temperatures climb from the 30s into the mid 40s later this afternoon. A little chance to dry out later today.

Transit agency took out a full page ad in the Washington Post, an apology to all riders and particularly the family of carol glover. Her death connected to the smoke exposure after the train she was on filled with smoke last monday. The apology comes one day after mayor Muriel Bowser released her report in response to the accident. Some of the major takeaways, the city said a First Responder trying to reach the smoke filled train said Radio Communication was, quote, nonexistent. Also First Responders were concerned about the trains on nearby tracks and currents on the third rail. Despite the breakdown in communications firefighters and d. C. s mayor defending their response. News 4s derrick ward has that part ofstory. Reporter with every bit of information released the intensity, the drama and tragedy are all compounded, and so is the selfless work of rescuers. They did what they could do everything they could do to save people. This was not an everyday runofthemill house fire. Ed smith of the Firefighters Union said the first units on scene got there about nine minutes into the scene. The pictures the firsthand accounts, as compelling as they are are just part of the story. This was a huge, huge rescue effort under ground 800 not down into the tunnel with zero visibility on a 22inch walkway. We had to evacuate people single file. Reporter all that amid uncertainty about whether the third rail which powers the train was still carrying potentially lethal curr wait for official confirmation. The only verification they had was from Metro Transit Police that were on the platform when they arrived on the platform that the power was down. Communication was again an issue. What we know is our firefighters were communicating with each other despite conditions on walkietalkie and also via cellular communications. They went in without hesitation to save lives. While thats what firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians do bowser said in the aftermath of that incident the city must address the issue of giving First Responders the tools they need to minimize the risk as much as possible, getting the right equipment and protocols in place. Whether on our went or the wamatta end, we know exactly what happened so it will never hatch again. We caught up with some of you to ask what you thought about metros apology in todays Washington Post. The feeling is mixed. I guess its a step in the right direction. If its the apology to me doesnt really mean much because stuff like this always happens. It takes them forever to finally fix the problems. Mayor bowser is pledging that the communications incident from the incident will be addressed quickly. At last count, a dozen of the hundreds of riders affected by the incident on monday are continuing legal action.

A new smelly bug like the stink bug has invaded our area. They are called kudzu bugs because they eat the kudzu vine in georgia. The bugs then devour soy beans so theyre a threat to those types of crops. They even look like the stink bug, almost like a tick also. They also smell just as bad, by the way. Scientists have seen them in d. C. Maryland and virginia now. They say pesticides can kill them. If you step on them try to crunch them up or do whatever not only do they can stain whatever theyre on. Thats the wrong thing to do. Youre not supposed to squish the kudzu bug. If you find them in your house, vacuum them up. Or flush it down the toilet Something Like that . Chucks got the answer. What would you do . I leave the stink bugs alone. Thats the first thing i do. If theyre outside, sweep them right off the front porch. Vacuum them up . Then theyre in the vacuum cleaner bag. Tricky stuff. Leave Mother Nature alone, maybe shell leave you alone. Outside this morning, clouds are rolled in overnight. Though it isnt raining in northwest washington just yet, all the moisture outside has made the ground very very moist.

Storm team 4 radar, we are looking for a pretty steady chance for rain today as we get down into parts of Southern Maryland. Thats where the heaviest rain is likely to be and the best rain chances as well. There you can see it on storm team 4 radar, just a little pink. Southern parts of Prince William county towards culpepper, there could be a lonely sleet pellet, but ground is warm. Other than a handrail or exposed staircase or offramp shouldnt have a big impact. If you see the temperature down near 32 if you hear that frozen sleet pellet out there, be careful. Charles county st. Marys county Calvert County from Calvert Beach to leonard town and st. George island getting on the rain. Temperatures are generally in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees. That will keep things a little better. Rain chances today obviously highest down into the southeastern parts of maryland. Still a low rain chance Frederick County leesburg northern Fauquier County thats the lowest chance for rain as we go through the remainder of the day. How much rain should we expect . Just like yesterday, forecasters holding up pretty well a very steep gradient between nothing at all and maybe as much as an inch of rain. Potentially an inch or more in st.

Next up we have reporters notebook, a look at stories affecting our community. Were back in 15 minutes with more top stories. Good morning. Welcome to reporters notebook. Im pat lawson muse. We begin this morning with the deadly metro train incident last week. There are still many Unanswered Questions about the yellow line train that stopped and was filled with smoke leaving a 61yearold alexandria woman dead and 83 others injured, two of them critically. There are questions about Response Time whether there was a breakdown in communications among First Responders inside and outside the tunnel how long it took metro to turn off power to the third rail and to get word to the firefighters. Joe madden what does this say about the regions readiness for mass casualty emergency . All your questions are big ones. That need to be answered immediately. What disturbs me theyre saying at metro, it might take a year for all this to be thrashed out. We cant wait a year. This is the nations capital. Were constantly having to be vigilant when it comes to terrorist attacks. Its just the psychology. Weve witnessed whats going on in paris and almost simultaneous to that when we heard this we didnt know what the situation was. We didnt know if it was an accident didnt know if it was a fire a terrorist attack. We cannot wait and every question that you have asked, pat, needs to be an serpd immediately. Bre man they what does it say after metro safety five years after that deadly crash that left nine people dead . What we see coming out is it sounds like metro doesnt really have a formulated plan if theres an accident like this, what do passengers do . One of the biggest issues is you had passengers coming off the train, walking on that third line talking about whether or not there should be selfevacuation. Reports are that metro had talked about this but nothing was put into place. I think its unfortunate that someone has passed away metro should feel fortunate that there werent more lives lost in that sipgs, especially when youre talking about trains filled up with smoke, its in the nations capital. We talked about a terrorist attack and the way folks can situations. I think anyone can really sort of understand people getting off of a train thats filled with smoke not knowing what has happened. Dave the lawsuits have already started. Absolutely. First of all, theres mutual condemnation from the congressional delegation into what happened. I talked to senator mechanical ski, congresswoman norton senator warner none of them want to wait for the evaluation. They want to know now. Theyre scheduling a debriefing within the next few days. They want metro to tell them the answers to all the questions you just raised. The concern is after all the money, the new equipment that happened after 2009 what have they done . The answer seems to be im picking up from sources and other people not enough. People still dont know what theyre supposed to do arent doing it right, whether its middle management the worker bees. I asked senator mechanical ski about that. She said im not making any accusations ability that i want to go to this debriefing. If she doesnt get good answers, there will be people in big trouble at metro. It doesnt bring anybodys life back. Christopher berry under investigation. The son of the late marion barry is being investigated for allegedly threatening bang employee. According to a Police Report barry become upset after a pnc bank teller told him he had overdrawn his account. There are reports that barry use add derogatory term threatened the teller and threw a chair and. How do you think this will impact his candidacy, bremante . Any candidate running against him will probably bring this up. It depends on how they bring it up in what way do they bring it up. I think what this does is it calls into question his readiness for the position. He just announced. You would think he would know to handle himself differently knowing that now he steps into this possible public position any time youre running, youre really stepping yourself into a public position. Any of the candidates out there obviously will call into question his readiness, his temperament, is he the right person now to succeed his father. Just absolute immaturity. Ive been upset with banks forof reasons, but you this is even if he wasnt running, pat, he is a public figure. Hes had national exposure. You just simply dont get upset because a bank teller says youre overdrawn and then destroy property that could very well be a felony. Hes just hes lucky that the bank decided not to in essence, press charges, or at least they havent yet. Its sad. It really is sad. I think if i were advising him, i think i would immediately apologize, im sorry, apologize to his potential constituency apologize to the bank and then see if he can put this behind him as fast as he can. Dave. This is not the way to start a campaign. The question now, as joe says and as you inferred what does he do next . Contrition . Im sorry, it was a bad day, whatever it is. But then move on and try to have a counter argument as to why, even though i did this bad thing, there are so many other things about me that you ought to think about. Hes got to put a positive note on this now or else some people are going to tell him to just get out of the race. I dont know how you do it. I really dont. The other problem is folks are going to he has a track record of issues and runins with the law. This may only look like a continuation and has that person really changed to step into this type of position. And even having a Bank Overdraft in todays political scene, knowledge of that is bad, really bad. Because it questions your 5b89 to handle finances. But then to get mad about it. Ill never be able to run for office. It happens. Overdrafts can happen. But my god, to throw a trash can, to break a security to basically throw tantrum. Do you think it speaks to his temperament . Oh i think so sure. I think it does. It would speak to anybody. This isnt just him. Anybody who would do that if a newscaster if one of us did that thats exactly what people would say. My goodness. Again he allegedly threatened the teller also. We cant leave that out, someone will be waiting for you outside. Theres a lot there to pick through. Got to take a break. Well be right back. You get sick you cant breathe through your nose suddenly, youre a mouth breather. A mouth breather well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. Cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38 more. So you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do sleep. Add breathe right to your Cold Medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. Breathe right. And look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle. Welcome back. Morrissey gets his seat back. A new cloud was hanging over the virginia General Assembly on opening day. A virginia lawmaker who won a special election last week is still serving time. Richmond area delegate Joe Morrissey resigned from his seat in december after he entered an alford plea to a misdemeanor charge of distributing to the delinquency of minor. Hes accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17yearold receptionist at his office. He was sworn in. Both democrats and republicans are weighing whether to take some sort of disciplinary action. Dave what do you think about this . How did he win that seat . This has happened before and it happened here in d. C. With marion barry. His transgressions never kept him out of office. An old mayor of boston named curly who was in jail and got reelected. People in the district sometimes take offense to what they call outsiders telling them what to do. Ironically what im told by people who have covered it more closely than i have his political theories his politics are pretty acceptable. Hes on the more liberal side on some issues i believe hes an anti gun advocate. Politics aside is one thing, but this is an extraordinary situation. There are ways to remove members in the General Assembly. Obviously theyre looking at him. Theyre hoping they can do something. As long as hes there, people are going to think about this instead of thinking about what theyve got to do in the General Assembly. He won the seat joe. Do you think he can serve . I guess he can. The question is should he. We keep talking about marion barry this. Remember this guy pleaded he was facing a felony charge for child pornography. I dont think weve had anybody in the district that has had that situation, and thats a question of indecency. Can he serve . Technically he can, but i think youre right, dave. Who wants to sign on to a bill with his name on it . How effective is he going to be for his constituents . And thats why theyre trying to get him out because this is not just a misdemeanor. This is not just tax problems. This is a question of indecency. Bremante . Your signature is all, your politics are local. The folks there know him. I think it helped that he ran in a threeway race ran as an independent, so he defeated a democrat and a republican. The issue i think weve all covered is how well can he govern . Can they get him out of office . He may be the type of politician who may know the eyes will be on me, maybe ill lay back for a little while. I dont know if thats the case. This is the same politician that brought an ak47 to the General Assembly to make a point about gun control. While were in virginia what do you think about the judges decision to not allow former governor Bob Mcdonnell to stay out of jail while his appeal is pending . The thinking is thats the proper way to go that the sentence is deserved. The issue here is the top of the local government the governor a prominent figure has gone over the line and he needs to be punished. This is proper this is a proper part of the punishment. You have a squluj who is a nononsense judge who is sending a message, i think, dave, to others. If the governor does this and if you think youre going to get away with it, here is an example of what could happen to you. Youre going to go to jail. If youre going to appeal do it while youre in the jail cell. Crime rates down in Prince Georges County. Crime has fallen for the fourth straight year. In a press conference this week local leaders said homicide is down 40 over four years, Violent Crime down 36 . How did they do that bremante . They said theyve done it by working together the county the schaffer riffs office the county police and the community. Thats the right way to go. They take the picture of Community Policing in so many respects. I think the interesting thing is they have an initiative where they have about eight towns in Prince Georges County that theyre also looking at. One of those is palmer park area where the Police Headquarters it. Thats down the greatest. Thats down 27 . This is a fouryear span. Its down 40 from 2010 to 2014. Obviously thats something that baker and county officials can push. I think whats important here is the imaging thing, very rich we know in terms of affluence. Its always had the perception that image that its sort of crime ridden being right there on the district also among the other counties. You have to also look at the gateway communities, the problem may still exist there. But the reality, lets chalk it up to good Community Policing. I think thats what youre going to have elected officials say, this is how we do it. The first time theres real coordination between elected officials, police and the community. They really got together have been shamed by some of the stuff happening in Prince Georges County and said lets do something. You always hear about people advocating. But this time theyve really done it. Dave joe and bremante thanks so much. Thats reporters notebook. Im pat lawson muse. Stay with us. News 4 today continues. Good morning.

This week police in europe arrested dozens of terror suspects following the deadly shooting in paris. The violence was triggered by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdos controversial cartoon depiction of the prophet muhammad. Were joined by meet the press mod ralter chuck todd. Youll speak exclusively with the editor and chief of Charlie Hebdo. What did you talk about . We talked about why they do what they do essentially and what it is, how to respond to the popes criticism. The basic argument he makes is they are not attacking peoples religious beliefs. They argue they only attack religious figures when the figures get used for political purposes. That was the line and the distinction he was trying to argue and trying to articulate. Of course the other part of this is one thing you have to understand the french culture and the American Culture are very different when it comes to the issue of freedom of religion in that france is a secular society. This country was founded on the idea that you could practice different religions here. In france the idea of religion is supposed to be a private matter a personal matter. Its not supposed to be in the public space. There is sometimes a little culture i guess lost in translation aspect. He was very unapologetic. Unapologetic completely and very defensive of what they do. With a string of terror plots weve seen foiled in this past week what can we say the u. S. Government is doing especially with all their surveillance programs being under such scrutiny. What are they doing to avoid these near misses . Do they have a strategy is the big question . Or is this strategy working. Its the same strategy weve been doing for 10 or 12 years. The question is weve killed this enemy many times. Number two, number three, different organizations. But they havent defeated the enemy. They pop up in different places and it has this feel that were still trying to feed an ideology not winning the hearts and minds issue. Obviously theres problems more acute in the west. I think the west is i think all the leaders are going, is this working . What else can we do . Big day for the president coming up on tuesday, the state of the union. What are you expecting from the president . Obviously we finally found out how he plans to pay for some of his big ideas including Free Community college and paid sick leave. It goes to something that i have to say im pretty skeptical that has any chance of getting through this congress. Hees calling for some tax hikes on the wealthy to pay for some of these other programs and tax consults for the middle class. Some of these tax proposals he has in there are some of the same ones hes been pitching for six years. This time he has a more Republican Congress h dealing with. Before he had a democratic senator before he had Democratic House and senate and the tax proposals couldnt make it through. This has the feel hes almost sketching out a Campaign Platform for the Democratic Party making it the party of the middle class, trying to put the republicans as the party of the rich and its more about that than it is about trying to get something done. Well see. We know 2015 is going to be about 2016 for sure. I guess so but not even in politics. Okay. Youll be talking about 2016 as well on the show. Oh, mitt romney. Mitt romney 3. 0.
