About this. Did republicans deliver a win for President Trump that will lower costs and offer people more choices for Health Insurance . Or, are the critics cricket critics correct and the bill will take away coverage for preexisting conditions . Thats been all over facebook tonight. We are asking pete to separate fact from fiction. Hell do just that in a minute of your time. Ive been making a lot of calls to experts, health advocates. We know you win if youre wealthy or an insurance provider. This bill would cut taxes that fund obama care. We know that you win if youre a big company. They would be able to opt out of requirements that give insurance. This bill would let you stay on your parents insurance until you are 26. This calls for a change in rates for seniors. They could be charged maybe five times as much as say an 18 yearold. We dont know one big thing. What this will mean for those with preexisting conditions. This bill would bypass federal baselines for coverage. Instead, they could set their own standards. They could put those with serious illnesses in a high risk pool. Federal funding set aside for that would cover only 5 of people with a preexisting condition. One more category. We really do not know the big picture here. What this will cost americans in terms of premiums. What this will cost in terms of coverage. This past before analysis is that older forms of this plan would cause 24 million americans to lose coverage. Pete, wusa9. Tonight, even the lawmakers who voted to pass that bill admit they havent been able to read the whole thing. Well keep a close eye on this as it moves forward. The stakes are high for the 20 million americans who count on obama care. Youre looking at that at the same time senators are. Theyll have to tackle this bill next. The earliest they could move is june. Senators are a about this thing. Corks the process will probably be a long one. And one more note from political tonight, congress finished work on that big spending bill, avoiding a government shutdown. The grand total, 1 trillion. It funds agencies through september. Theres no money for President Trumps border wall, but he did get an extra 15 billion for the military. The president got a little legal relief. The aclu started today saying see you in court, because of his new executive order on religious freedom. Tonight, not so much. The groups president says based on his reading of the whole thing, it wont change much. Okay. We want to pause for a minute and show you something important happening right outside our studios in northwest washington. Lesli calls this a window of hope. Its the side of our building facing wisconsin avenue northwest. What they are putting up are the faces of the missing. Were talking young people, children from across our region, who are not home with their pas its just one of several initiatives were leading to help bring these children home. And for our website, we have a section devoted to missing children and resources for parents and care givers, too. The wusa9 special assignment unit is looking into the under world of gangs tonight. Ms13, their numbers are increasing and so is the violence. Illegal immigration and the legal system play a role in eradiating gangs. Help is also needed in the schools and at home. Police, stop. Police. This is a night in herndon, virginia. This gang has been here so long, Everybody Knows the area. During the day, the iron gate community. Another gang. That ms13 crossed out, disrespect. Police searched all over Prince William county on this day, why . Lieutenant is one of the fight. He says this is where they once found venus, one of the teens in that high profile missing persons case from fairfax case last february. The 17yearold was reported missing more than once and one of ten people arrested at the ms13 murder of a 15yearold maryland girl. Thats when police started to sound the alarm of an ms13 resurgence in our area. But even we were surprised to hear this. They dont think. The more vicious the crime is, the more they feel good, the more respect they get. This from a man who says he used to call the shots with a click in our area. We met the now exgang member through police and are hiding his identity for safety reasons. The task force tells us hes no angel, but hes been working to get couple of years. If theres one thing people hear is this. Im not out. You never get out. The only way out is you get killed. You have the right to remain silent. What they are doing is recruiting. Recruiting the young. The younger generation. Waiting for a chance to shine. Not only is recruitment up, but doing so at schools and with kids as young as fifth grade. Their younger members are more tech savvy than ever. They are getting harder to spot on streets. The Law Enforcement isnt looking into colors. Homicides increase. The Task Force Director says they have seen 14 gang related murders in the Capital Region since january 2016. Eight in Northern Virginia alone since last ms13 is actually a gang that started in l. A. They have been in the greater d. C. Area since the 90s. Now, theres no one reason for the resurgence, but the task force is taking a hard look at the thousands of kids coming across the u. S. , Mexican Border alone. The fact that ms13 sends people across the border hoping they get stopped. The unaccompanied minors who are innocent in all this are said to be more vulnerable. Looking for families, looking to belong. Their prime targets for gang recruitment. Yet, in the same breath, ms13 is not an immigration issue anymore. Now we are going to the second and third generations of american born ms13 gang members. They see the way the kids start talking. Thats when they know something is not right. The you know, one of the things that i hated the most was, i saw a few girls get raped. The exms13 gang member says the things hes done, things hes ordered people to do, still haunts him. His tattoos are his constant reminder. I wanted to peel my skin off. I regretted it. The task force also offers help for parents trying to keep their kids out of gangs. Thats another area in our community seeing a growing ms 13 issue. Created an initiative, hoping to offer more programs for kids to say no. We have this up on our app and our web site. Right now, we have a map highlighting the other hot spots for increased Gang Activity in our area. We have news out of fair fax county. A study from George Mason University found, when it comes to teaching likely to hire a white person than a black person, even though on average, those black candidates had more advanced degrees and experience. The study examines data in 2012. The candidate for Virginia House of delegates says she is ready to make history. If shes elected, Elizabeth Guzman would be the first hispanic woman in the house of delegates. She is running in a district that includes falkier counties. Priorities, school funding, Mental Health services, and immigration reform. Its been nearly four days since someone went slithering among the shadows to hang bananas from nooses. Now we are hearing from the school president. Dr. Neil stood before the cameras after student leaders led a standing room only town hall meeting on the hate crime and the campus racism. What has brought us together is a cowardly and act. What occurred here has nothing to do with the fundamental values of this university. The bananas were found the same day as taylor took over as the president. She emerged from a debriefing today and said she was proud of the way au was handling the crisis. Campus police, d. C. Police, and the fbi are investigating. And that kind of hate is certainly not limited to au at the university of maryland, some low life left a noose hanging in the kitchen of a fraternity. It appears the target was the African American kitchen staff and this actually predates the case at au. That noose was discovered one week ago. The fraternity, school leader, they are all condemning the act and police are investigating. Staying in maryland, metro riders, now is the time to make plans. The system is shutting down all three orange line stations there. Plus, minnesota avenue and the district. This is for a month, part of the safe track program that starts may 16 and june 15. Again, no orange line trains on the segment of the map that we highlighted on your screen. Speaking of planning ahead, you might want to leave the house early tomorrow morning. Heavy rain is tomorrows yellow weather alert day. Topper is here. Well start with first alert live doppler. Heaviest access of rain is out to the west of us. Out toward least burg and down across i66. Well zoom in a little bit. Notice the red and the yellow. Thats heavy rain as you travel down 15. Downtown, we have flecks of yellow, pockets of moderate rain. This is just the beginning. Well zoom in a little more as you go north of 55 and 15 and out toward 50 toward aldi. Nothing severe tonight, just some heavy rain. Thats the problem. Lets talk about commuting in the morning. Youll have to get up early tomorrow. Youll have to add time. 4 00 in the morning, we have heavy rain just about everywhere. Coming in 66, down i270. Either side of 95, matter. Youll have rain. By 6 00, 62 downtown. Heavy rain. Leesburg, manasas. We have heavy rain to the west and prince georges county. We will come back and track this for the rest of your commuters in the morning. Look ahead to the afternoon and were making changes in the weekend forecast. You might not want to miss. All right, top, its ladies night in one of d. C. s hippest neighborhoods. Plus, were following up on a tip that you gave us online about a hot new place. Grab a bite in virginia. This picture is popping up everywhere. Is it real . Well verify that up next. You may have seen this picture of a newborn. That photo has gone viral. A lot of people who see it seem to think the bay was born holding the contraceptive device. Whats really going on here . Lets verify. First, the Research Team used googles reverse image search to see if we could find that image anywhere not fake. We went right to the source. The mother of this newborn, lucy, lucy lives in fort mitchell, alabama. And our first question for the mother of three was her son really born with an iud in his hand . He was not. The doctor found it behind my placenta. The doctor think i may have gotten pregnant three weeks after it was placed. A nurse put the implant in the babys hand and when a friend shared the picture, social media went crazy. The post did include a few hash tags. The maker of the device. We can verify the photo is real. As for the claim that the baby was born with the iud in his hand, that is false. And a lot of people are having fun sharing this post. What happened could have been serious. In a week where we talked a lot about babies and tragedies, we thought we would give you one doctor says she is very lucky that when the placenta grew over it, it did not disrupt the blood flow and that could have caused a miscarriage. Tonight, she calls little dexter a miracle baby. If you see something on your social media feeds that has you wondering if its true, let us know. Find us on facebook or twitter or email our team of researchers at verify wusa. Com. A lot of you are talking about a new spot in anondale. Its called the block. Not far from the intersection of little river turnpike. Its a food hall, like union market and d. C. Vendors are serving up everything from cocktails to fried avacados. Open daily for lunch and dinner. All right, lets move back into the city. There was quite an event happening in one of the hippest neighborhoods tonight celebrating the lady, john henry begged for district in northwest d. C. It looks like the party is going on. Its women only for the launch party of this popup shop. Its all about highlighting some of the great women and businesses we have here in the district. I was just doing this event in october. And it was a fashion show of six local designers. Women were like, this is so cool, i never experienced this before. When is the next one . That experience gave jasmin the idea to open this popup shop. It will be open for three months where d. C. Women can share off some of their most artistic creations. We have over 15 different local women owned businesses from Handmade Jewelry to amazing fashion designers. Like walking into the space and seeing all the art. All the creativity. All the originality was just in a sensory overload. Its showing and empowering women that we can be together. We can work together. This was the launch party open to women only. After today, men are welcome to check it out, too. Its a sort of place organizers believe everyone will want to see. Its almost like this year has been a movement of bringing back Feminine Energy to life. So i think that theres absolutely a big demand. From northeast, john henry, wusa9. I see john, is he back from that assignment . Hes back. He went back again. He said that he had a good assignment tonight. Im paraphrasing. He got lucky. No, im not going there. All right, okay. Were not going to get lucky tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, things will improve. Well start with a 3degree guarantee. I changed from 68 to 67. And you know what . It worked out for a change. How about that. Thank you. Were going to go 76 tomorrow. I lowered it a lower it to 76 tomorrow. A lit warmer tomorrow, despite the showers and the thunderstorms. Right now, its 57. Rain, northeast winds at 10. Heres the radar over the last hour. The heaviest access of rain is zitting up to the west of us. Still some moderate rain in montgomery county, heading into Howard County and across i70. By far and away, between upperville and warrenton, see the red . Thats the heaviest rain. So, heres the deal. Bus stop temperatures, 55 to 68. They should drive you to the bus stop tomorrow and keep you dry. Heaviest rain 4 00 a. M. To 10 00 a. M. , and then prepare for a slow morning commute. Flooding is possible. Street flooding is possible. And remember, if you come across a flooded street, dont try to cross the flooded water. Quieter friday afternoon, that said, some afternoon showers and storms are possible, but weather wise, it will be a much more pleasant ride home. Model projections, show you rain fall, too. Three of the four models going over an inch of rain, which we need. Only a half an inch to three quarters of an inch. Were a drought, we need that. Where is the flood watch . Thats to our south and west, just west of culpeper. Places like page county. 2 to 3 inches of rain possible. We could have street flooding in the many the impacts, we modify this a bit. Street flooding still high. I went ahead and put the slow morning commute off the charts. Extreme. But the good news, we scaled back on the afternoon activities and the evening commute to low impact, because were not going to have that many showers and thunderstorms around. 6 00 a. M. , no shortage of heavy rain. Look at the orange and yellow. Heavy rain across the metro area. By 9 00, we have heavy rain around 95 and toward leesburg and then by 1 00, were in good of clouds.

Next seven days, monday better, 64, upper 60s on tuesday. Nats back in town wednesday and climb into the 70s next wednesday and thursday. Okay, right now, three things that have happened since you left work tonight, a report on the Aaron Hernandez suicide said he was determined to die in that prison cell.

A. , decided to post a video yesterday and that gras b your space suit, pack some twinkies, we have 100 years to get off that extinction. Scientists, steven hawking, earth is doomed by climate change, epidemic, and wild population. We can catch colbert. Hes about to post up on the big man.

Things getting chippy. Kelly going after kelly of the celtics. He could get suspended for game four sunday. That could be pivotal. We cant respond that way, but when you get hit in the head a few times, i mean, were very competitive guys out there. We have two teams are very competitive. You keep getting hit in the head. You might respond that way. Thats what he did. Pretty obvious these two teams do not like each other and the wizards love winning at home and they had to do it tonight. They had to fall into a 30 hole. And look who was in town. Michael phelps in the house. Off to another fast start, he needed this. Scored the first seven points for d. C. Led 72. Later in the quarter, wizard 22. A much larger game three. He had 19. Another big night for this kid, john wahl led all scores 24. Wizards win. They had to. 11689. Now down just 21 in this playoff series. I hope we arent going to jinx it and say they play together the first half and the second half and then show up in the first half and second half, we do not have the same as in the first two games. We just play together. We just play and we execute the game plan and we played hard. Maryland lacrosse taking on penn state. Big ten semis and another maryland victory.
