>> he is fighting back against the criticism he got just for filing the lawsuit and today he says he filed because the reporter crossed the line. just to remind you, it is an article published in the washington city paper last november called a cranky redskins fan guide to dan snyder. snyder called it slander and his lawsuit took issue with the picture copying the article saying the way he was depicted with horns was anti semitic. in interviews today he focused on his wife. here's what the article said about her. she said her husband is surrounded by better people and that he has grown and evolved. here is snyder's reaction on espn 980, the john thompson show. >> i've never sued anyone in the media, but when someone calls you a criminal and flat out lies and makes fun of your wife who is battling breast cancer as the national spokesperson for breast cancer awareness for the nfl and makes fun of it, you just are dealing with someone that has crossed line and what's right is right . >> now snyder also said his lawyers never would have filed that lawsuit if they had gotten an apology and retraction, but the city paper says it stands by its story and has nothing to retract. >> did he talk about the decision to file this lawsuit just days away from the super bowl? >> he said that was not his decision, that of his lawyers and vp whose idea it was to file. he said the timing was just a coincidence. meantime owner dan snyder isn't the only member of the redskins organization making headlines. albert haynesworth is back in the news. it's not about football. it's a lot more serious, in fact, lindsay murphy here with more on the story. >> this is completely unrelated to the redskins. albert haynesworth has been charged with simple assault for an alleged road rage incident in reston wednesday morning. fairfax county police say a 38- year-old leesburg man claims haynesburg was tailgating him on the parkway. the two exchanged words at a traffic light and allegedly haynesworth hit him. fairfax county police received a call 9:15 a.m. wednesday from joel velasquez. he said haynesworth was in a pickup truck tailgating him in the southbound lanes near lake newport drive. near new dominion parkway intersection velazquez said haynesworth got out of the truck and said you're not so tough now before punching him in the face. velazquez admitted using a hand gesture before the two exchanged words. haynesworth's agent released a statement saying this man who provoked the situation himself recognized albert and is now simply trying to turn it into his 15 minutes of fame and yet we can only a assume get some money. albert did not assault this man and looks forward to his day in court to face these ridiculous allegations. haynesworth will appear in fairfax county general district court at a later date. breaking news in southeast d.c. tonight, a 4-year-old girl has died in a house fire. it happened on buena vista terrace near 30th street southeast. firefighters say both floors of the house were burning when they arrived on scene about 6:15. it took about 45 minutes to knock down the flames. several other people who escaped were checked out by medics, no word on the cause. tonight sky fox over the scene of an accident in gaithersburg, train struck a car that stalled on the tracks. happen ad around 7:30 at the intersection of east -- happened around 7:30 at the intersection of east diamond and summit avenues. the family inside the car got out okay. the train dragged the car for several feet. fortunately no one was hurt. the unrest in egypt is in its 11th day, a massive crowd of protesters assembling for a new rally in cairo central square. meantime the white house is putting pressure on president hosni mubarak. fox 5's laura evans is monitoring developments tonight. >> after violent clashes it seems clear the white house believes that without mubarak as president egypt can regain stability. president obama today called for egyptian president hosni mubarak to step down immediately and a transition period that begins now. as night fell in egypt's capital, thousands still stand in the streets. anti-government protesters say they won't leave until president hosni mubarak steps down, but egypt's president has said he will not resign. he said leaving now would launch the country into chaos. already 109 people are dead in protests since last week and tonight the white house is watching this one closely. >> we want to see this moment of turmoil turn into a moment of opportunity. the entire world is watching. what we hope for and what we will work for is a future where all of egyptian society seizes that opportunity. >> reporter: mubarak has already said he will not run for reelection in the fall, but the question is who will take over when he does leave? one leading candidate, nobel peace laureate mohammed elbaradei. he has ties to the muslin brotherhood, an islamist opposition group banned in egypt. critics of the organization believe the brotherhood could turn egypt into another iran if they took control. elbaradei said mubarak should step down immediately but do so immediately calling for a move to a transitional government. >> it's a question of comfort and trust and the trust is gone and you cannot build trust over 30 years. >> reporter: there has been a lot of behind the scenes diplomacy going on. officials in washington have been talking with the mubarak government about the president stepping down and having a military backed transitional government lead by -- led by the current vice president. >> what's been the response from the mubarak government? >> mubarak has staunchly refused to step down until september when e says won't run for reelection. today his -- he says won't run for reelection. today his prime minister said that stance is unlikely to change. protesters are vowing to continue the rallies until mubarak goes. joining me now is richard rinaldi, a student at georgetown university who was study ago broad in cairo as the initial -- studying abroad in cairo as the initial protests broke out. georgetown had you come back on an evacuation or charter plane? >> they had us on a cutter airlines flight. we went out with them, too. >> looking at how things are playing out now and seeing how much more violent it got from even those initial days you were there, what are your thoughts as you see it play out knowing just how different things were nine, 10 days ago? >> personally i'm glad we left. there's a lot of uncertainty in the coming months whether things calm down or get worse. i think there will still be a lot of uncertainty. so i'm glad i'm in washington. >> when the internet went down we heard reports from people who came back and felt like they were just in the dark and i think a lot of people will be interested to know what it's like when a government turns off the internet and you're in the dark. >> i think i felt like i was in the dark, but what i was worried about was the people at home who were in the dark, so my family and friends who i couldn't contact and say i'm safe. i'm far away enough from the protests that i'm not bothered by them, but there was a lot of uncertainty there. >> what are you thinking as you watch it play out now? >> i'm concerned for the people in egypt. my friends who are still there, but like i said, i'm glad that i'm not there to sit in the curfew and wait to see what happens. >> as far as the politics go, you had only been there a couple of days. i think you were there 10 days total, supposed to be an entire semester. did you get a sense of the political winds there and that this was brewing? >> i didn't -- you know, didn't know much about egypt going in, but the egyptians that i talked to were definitely anti-mubarak and definitely wanted change. >> my last question for you, do you sense the youth that you did run into in your short time there, did you sense that they're in this obviously for the long haul or did you sense that this was something that just sort of snowballed? >> they're in this for the long haul. it's definitely snowballed into something that is going to go on for a while. i don't know if it's going to be in the form of protests forever, but they din want change and they're going to work -- definitely want change and they're going to work until they get it. >> i'm sure your parents are happy you're home safe and sound. thanks for coming in. back upstairs. >> thanks. several horses targeted and shot on their farms. it's happened in one local community. are police closer to catching the killer?

>> reporter: reporting in charles county, wisdom martin, fox 5 news. a heads up for all those planning to use metrorail this weekend. trains on the redline will be single tracking between the friendship heights and medical center stations and between the new york avenue and rhode island avenue stations. you can also expect delays on the blue line between the braddock road and van doran street stations. tonight the commute on 395 about to get worse thanks to the base realignment and closure law. it requires thousands of defense department workers to be relocated when the new office complex opens in alexandria in a few months. the problem, they have no access to metro. the army says steps are being taken to ease traffic and this week vdot announced new exits from the hov lanes will be constructed at seminary road. congresswoman gabrielle giffords is roving in houston, but tonight her astronaut husband could be closer to a mission in space. we have new details on his return to work at nasa. that's still ahead. as arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords continues her road to recovery, her husband is continuing his work with pass. astronaut mark kelly has been by his wife's side since she was shot in the head last month. six people died in that attack outside a tucson grocery store. tonight commander mark kelly said it's time to get back to his duties with nasa which could mean a trip to space in the near future. >> considering a bunch of other factors including what gabrielle would want me to do and what her parents and her family and my family would like, i ultimately made the decision that i would like to return and command sts134. >> space shuttle endeavour is scheduled to lift off from florida in april, no word if kelly will be on board for sure but he has the support of his wife and fellow astronauts. the super bowl, one of the year's biggest television events, not one to be shy, fox news commentator bill o'reilly said his live interview with president obama during the pregame coverage will be the most watched interview in history. more people will see this interview than any other interview that's ever been done in the history of mankind. i asked bill o'reilly his game plan. bill, this is quite a catch, the president of the united states live on the air on super bowl sunday, although i'm sure the white house is well aware audience exposure as well and i'd imagine interviewing the president is a bit of an art. how much do you plan on hitting current events and how much do you plan on hitting perhaps his future plans the next two years in office? >> i won't do anything on the future plans. i'm going to keep it current and personal. so there will be questions about obama care being ruled up constitutional by the florida federal judge and there will be some questions about how he sees the office, what he believes the perception of him is, that kind of thing. so i'm not going to say what are you going to do, no speculation. it's going to be here's the fact, how do you react? because i only have 14 minutes and i got to get in with very simple questions and i'm a simple man, as you know, brian, so that's easy for me. >> right. >> and i got to get the's which is always a little dicey -- the answers, which is always a little dicey with the president. it's a chess game. i'm looking forward to it. >> do these live interviews particularly with this big of audience differ from the interviews you do every night with everyday americans? >> sure. this is the ultimate. it's a high wire. there's no -- you know, what you do an interview with the president and tape it, you can edit it. so if you screw up, you never see it, but live is live. so if i'm a more ron or something happens -- a moron or something happens, everybody will see it. you're on the high wire without a net and it's a different protocol. when i interviewed senator obama in 2008 the campaign, i could interrupt him any time i wanted. i could make fun of him and challenge him, which i did, and that interview i printed in my book so that people could see exactly what he said, what i said and the joust. now it's different. i can't be as obnoxious if you want to use that word, but i still have to be a journalist. i still have to get in 14 minutes as much information as i can get. that's the fun of it and the challenge. >> it is a tight wire act. i'd be remiss if didn't ask how much you plan on pressing the president on the revolution in egypt and what could end up being perhaps the beginning of the domino's in the middle east. >> you know, look, i'm going to day is different there. i'm going to see what the relevance is on sunday. i think that the president's got to be very closed about what he says for obvious reasons. so i don't think i'm going to push it that hard because i understand why he can't say well, look, we're talking to this one and that one. he can't do it. so i'm a realistic guy. i certainly say it's going to come up, but do i spend a lot of time on it? at this point no, but that could change. >> bill o'reilly interviewing president obama live on fox 5 during our super bowl pregame coverage during the 4:00 hour. it will be live in washington d.c. primarily because the bears aren't in the super bowl i would imagine. thank you, bill. >> okay, brian, thanks. so we are less than 48 hours and counting until kickoff for super bowl xlv. >> but fans won't be just watching the gridiron action. dallas cowboys stadium full of new tech toys. we'll walk you through the cool new gadgets. and what about monday?

look at this. this is what the d.c. used to look like one year ago this weekend, the first of the february blizzard pounding the area, remember it well. i think we're all a bit scarred and i hear, though we won't put you on the spot, i hear that there's a potential for something big next week. >> wouldn't want to get accused of rooting on another big snowstorm. >> we're hoping to jinx it. let's talk about it. >> there's going to be something east coast destructive storm next week. whether it's that, shades of snowmageddon, i don't know. it just depends and we continue to watch guidance and this afternoon the big storm went away on one of the big main models, but that's pretty usual for this type of thing. it's chilly out there in some places tonight. we're still dry. looks like we'll be dry for the next several hours, but some spot says still cold. the freezing rain advise -- spots still cold, the freezing rain advisory in place. this is not for d.c. or prince george's county or fairfax county, but those counties in the pink to the north of us, loudoun county almost all in this type of thing, as is montgomery county, certainly frederick county. i think if you're in northern loudoun county, northern montgomery county, up here in carroll county, frederick county, washington county and those counties up and down i- 81, that's where tomorrow morning you may have a few slippery spots and i think the rain will be light and where that temperature is 32 and below, it could be just a little bit tricky for a few hours before we start warming things up. here in d.c. temperatures 38 degrees now. that's up a little bit from last hour. gaithersburg 36, that's up a bit, too. frederick is 27. we continue the trend. frederick has come up a couple degrees as well. the clouds are thickening up more than anything. as it precipitates into this fairly cold dry air mass, meaning it starts raining into it, it could potentially cool it down a few degrees. so if you're close to freezing now or below, chances are good when it does start raining, it's going to continue to stay below freezing or right around freezing. i do believe some slippery spots certainly possible tomorrow morning and that means all morning long. the cutoff is not necessarily 9:00 or 10:00. let's take it all the way till noon. light rain looks like it starts to arrive from south to north right around 2 a.m. or so. there will be, of course, the glazing possible north and west. if you are up early and you have to be about, please be very careful if you're north and west of the district. it does look like it's going to stay above freezing in the district to the south and east most of the metro area down to the south should have no problems and it does still appear that by tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening this will all become rain. you see the showers to the south of us now, but watch how it's just working off to the east. we expect that to continue. so it will be several more hours before all of this comes on us and then we have the upper level feature back out to the northwest that has come to out tomorrow afternoon. overnight clouds, late rain arrives, freezing rain possible north and west. here in the district i don't think we get down to freezing, only about 33. freezing rain north and west tomorrow morning. we're 35 in the district. 39 or so, mainly showers for lingering showers late. few pink to the north and west at 6 a.m. there's the potential problem areas. as we get to 10 a.m., still a little pink for frederick county, potentially glazing there, but by 2 p.m. all this lifts up to north and as we go through, things begin to dry out. sunday looks pretty nice, lots of sunshine, temperatures in the upper 40s. we're watching monday, though, because look at this little piece of energy coming in our direction. we could end up with a messy mix, maybe even some snow monday night into tuesday and that's not even the big storm nor next week. so enjoy -- for next week. so enjoy sunday. it looks nice. wednesday and thursday next week we'll have that destructive storm system somewhere on the east coast. >> thank you, gary. have a good weekend. >> where you taking me to dinner?
