Trying to avoid or at least end the federal Government Shutdown. House took three votes to restore funding to specific areas veterans, d. C. Government and National Parks and museums. All three votes failed. Delia goncalves is live on capitol hill looking for signs of progress this morning. A new day, new hope, delia. Reporter we certainly hope so. A lot of those folks who were furloughed yesterday heading home probably sleeping in this morning, certainly hope there will be some kind of compromise very soon. A sign of that hope is that we are starting to see just a small handful of Congress Members who seem to be bending to the pressure, willing to compromise a bit but the blame game continues. President obama calling this the republican shutdown. Speaker boehner blaming democrats for slamming the door on negotiations. Case in point, last nights piecemeal bill, the house voted on that would have eased some of the pain immediately felt by folks by reopening National Parks, restoring funding to veterans and allowing the district to use its local money during the shutdown but Senate Democrats say it is all or nothing. We shouldnt be breaking down components and funding them in a piecemeal basis. Its fairly straightforward for us to adopt the c. R. Or continuing resolution that funds the government. I think its a shame that the democrats are united it seem like in opposition to these bills. These are very straightforward simple bills. Senate democrats, if theyll just sit down with us, we just think thats more important. Putting people first rather than protecting their own exemptions. Theyre not going to get back the Affordable Health care act but there must be other things they want that could be traded. The last sound bite d. C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes norton. Reporter you can see and hear that she is willing to possibly trade off with republicans. Of course she is not a voting congresswoman here on capitol hill. But there are some more signs of hope and compromise. Well have more details on that coming up in the next half hour. Mike, andrea, back to you. Delia, thank you. You want to sound off . We have a website where you can do it. Weigh in with your opinion on tellwusa9. Com. Were debating on whether or not congress should be paid during the shutdown. One viewer says, quote, yes, they should be paid. They need to feed their families while most say no. They shut down the government, they do not deserve a paycheck either. How do you feel . Go to tellwusa9. A surprise announcement from the university of howard. The University President is retiring. He plans to leave at the end of the year after a fiveyear run. Hes been under intense pressure by the board of trustees over howards weak finances. A proposal from Montgomery County superintendent joshua star wants high schools to start classes 50 minute later, at 8 15 and then let out at 3 00 p. M. Middle schools would run from 7 45 to 2 30 and he wants to lengthen the Elementary School day by 30 minutes. If its approved, these changes would take effect for the 2015 16 school year. Its 5 05. Time for the latest your money report of the morning. It is indeed. Thats why jessica is here. Good morning, jess. As for wall street, you know, basically shrugged off the Government Shutdown. The big question now is how long is this going to last. Traders are expecting this to be short limiting economic damage. In the meantime, though, we did get encouraging news on the economy yesterday. That gave stocks a boost. Manufacturing expanded at its fastest pace in two years last month. The dow added 62 points. It finished the day at 15,192. The s p 500 rose 13 points. The nasdaq surged 46 points. Thanks to the monster rally for tech stocks the nasdaq is up 200 from its march 2009 market low. If only we had invested then. The dow and s p 500 are up 132 and 50 respectively during the same period. The startups havent been the only big drivers of the nasdaqs rally. You can thank strength from small and miz Side Companies and big gains for health care and retail stocks. Theyve been doing really well recently. Theres some relief for federal workers furloughed. They can get until employment checks in most states but the money comes with a catch. If congress decides late other to retroactively to pay the workers which would be a good thing, they would have double dipped into the system. Therefore they would be asked to return the unemployment money. The Virginia Employment Commission has already posted a notice on their website saying if virginia residents get back pay, they will be required to repay any unemployment benefits. So just so you know, if you get those checks, you may have to pay them back. Another good reason to end this quickly so this mess doesnt unfold over several weeks. Exactly. If youre in a position to apply for unemployment benefits, you dont want to waste any time. You want to do it as quickly as you possibly can. What do you have for us in the next halfhour . Were going to be looking at the Affordable Care act from day one. Thanks, jess. A suspicious device leads to a shutdown of a major airport in the southeast of the that story is coming up.

See the spin coming up the Mississippi Valley . Thats drawing in moisture from the gulf of mexico. High pressure at the surface giving us a westerly flow. Thats a warm wind for us. Southwest winds around here normally bring some heat, sometimes some humidity but generally heat. Its the southerly winds which pump in the moisture. Heres the forecast. Today warm and dry, 86.

President obamas Foreign Policy objectives he was working on could be delayed by the federal Government Shutdown. He may have to cancel a planned trip to asia. Last night the house failed on several votes to restore funding to individual departments affected by the shutdown. Delia goncalves is live on capitol hill with more on where things stand now. What agencies were they trying to restore funding to, delia . Reporter well, we are hearing that there are a couple of Congress Members who are cracking under the pressure it seems that they are getting from the public. Were even hearing some Republican House members could be showing some signs of compromise. In a move to get federal employees back to work and reopen National Parks, some House Republicans from pennsylvania and virginia willing to pass a socalled clean continuing resolution. A c. R. Is only a ban dade fix but bandaid fix but it would inject money back into the government for about six to ten weeks until a debate on a complete spending bill. A clean c. R. Would remove any of the previously authored amendments by the Republican House like defunding or delaying obama care. I would vote for a clean resolution. Reporter its time to stop fight something. Well, you can fight but you dont shut the government down. I have said im not growing to do anything other than vote for a clean c. R. I will for these bills tonight because theres no harm done in doing it but as far as sending any more amendments to the senate or any type of continuing resolution, if its not a clean one, im not going to vote for it. Reporter that was the very outspoken robe congressman from new york peter king talking to our Ken Molestina on capitol hill after last nights house votes. Debate on this Government Shutdown and possible bandaid fix coming up throughout the day. A little later today on capitol hill. Back you to, andre ya and mike. Delia goncalves with that update from capitol hill. Following a developing story we told but a little while ago, an investigation is under way into a Deadly Police involved shooting in calverton, maryland. Prince georges county police say around 2 00 this morning, officers responded to a call report of hearing a woman screaming. When they arrived at the scene on twin lakes drive, a possible suspect was running away. Police say when officers caught up with the man, there was a struggle. That man was shot. The suspect is dead. None of the officer at the scene was hurt. This is i believe live video of where the officers are still investigating this deadly incident. Police did find a female victim there as well. We are awaiting word on her condition and of course we are following this developing breaking news story and well bring you updates later in our newscast. The gun rights activist who got lots of attention with the 4th of july Youtube Video is headed back to court this morning. Adam kokesh. The iraq war veteran faces drug possession charges in fairfax county. Hes facing a separate felony charge in the district as well. We expect a big decision this afternoon on a neighborhood effort to stop new bars from moving in. The shawdupont Citizens Alliance set up a petition to d. C. s alcohol beverage board. The petition demands no licenses for nightclubs and a limit on the number of licenses for taverns. The board is expected to make its decision today after taking Public Comments earlier in the year. 5 35 wednesday morning. Good morning if youre just waking up. Its time for another your money report. Were talking about the launch of obamacare and were there any problems in the start up yesterday. Heres jessica. Ill tell you, there was a lot of interest right out of the gate when obamacare started. Day one yesterday, Health Exchanges opened as planned yesterday morning. Americans have six months to enroll. Some people wasted no time checking out their options. Health Officials Say at least 2. 8 Million People visited the main website by the afternoon. And many were met with startup glitches, like the inability to create an account. An expert says many more problems are likely in the next few weeks. One of those glitches simply has to do with data transfer. Is it possible for the federal government, for example, to transfer to the exchanges in all of the states, information about medicare and Medicaid Eligibility and about subsidy eligibility. And without that information, its very hard for these states to charge the proper premiums in the exchange to individuals who may qualify, for example, for subsidies or for other forms of federal care. Some of the problems we saw yesterday included the live chat function loading slowly. Air messages saying the system error messages saying the system is down. Some received incomplete pages probably due to heavy traffic. Marylands site was down for the morning and sluggish into the evening. The white house has long said there would be problems in the beginning but it hopes to sign up seven Million People during the first year and aims to eventually sign up at least half a million or nearly 50 million uninsured americans through an expansion of medicare or government subsidized plans. All in all, kind of as expected. And the people who are running the week site, they were not furloughed. They were considered to be exemption from the Government Shutdown so it wasnt a question of staffing. More question of traffic. Exactly. Again we said yesterday you dont have to rush into it right now or even this week. You have until when . Six months. Things may hopefully straighten out by then. But coming up in about an hour, were actually going to be talking to an expert with advice on when you should be making these decisions and how shoe go about doing it. All right. Very good. Thank you. You like to unwind your day by uncorking a bottle of wine . If so, a developer may have come up with a new home for you. That story is 5 39. Were 50s in town, 60s in the suburbs. Winds are light. Doesnt feel like october. Leave the jackets at home. Let the kids go in shorts and t shirt. Its going to be a warm, almost hot afternoon. Highs in the 84 to 88 range. 86 is my forecast high for d. C. That would be three shy of the record set in 1986. Ill be inside. Well talk about when this finally may change in a few minutes. Right now monika with timesaver traffic. Just the typical delays on the northbound side of i95 right now along northbound side from dale city to woodbridge. Then a little here in springfield inbound on the memorial bridge. Watch out for reports after medical emergency. Ill have more on traffic coming up. Back to you guys. Does your life revolve around wine . I dont know but if you think it does, a developer in tokyo has something for you. His new Apartment Building is catering to those who love their vino. Which unit comes with a wine refrigerator that holds 26 bottles and a wine rack that holds your glasses. The basement of this tenstory building is a temperature controlled wine cellar. How about that . You can pay to store more wine bottles there and theyll offer advice on the best food and wine pairings. Taking care of your needs. Thats interesting. The 80s have returned to the forecast. Howard says if you want to worry about high humidity, he has that, too. Plus, after screening the new movie decoding annie parker last night, wusa9 has a another big buddy check 9 event. Well tell but that. Its birthday time. From morning walk. To cappuccino froth. Porch swing. To downtown. Its all yours. You know its rhythm and blues. And it knows your deep secret . That even when your wandering heart takes off. It never leaves home sweet home. Theres a deep, rich, enduring color for everything. Including where you come from. Benjamin moore. For everything that matters. Good morning. Welcome back to wusa9 on this wednesday morning. 5 45. Heat, humidity, temperatures in the 80s. Were talking about today, not last summer. A little bit humid. Creeping up slowly. We can handle n. Well start to creep up as we get later into the weekend sunday and monday. Been hearing from folks about the leaves dropping, not changing much. Its the dryness. It hasnt rained much in the last couple of months so theyre going right to just dropping the leaves and sealing up for the winter. I heard some stories up in the canadian valley ski area, you get 3,000, 3500 feet out there, theyre at peak right now. Maybe 2,000, 3,000 feet theyll be peaking out in the next week or so. Western maryland, the high country of west virginia, if you want to see the leaves, get out there. Records to beat today, i barely show this at all this summer. It wasnt that hot. We didnt have any hundreds but today 89. The record high 1986 at all three locations with 98 martinsburg going way back into the 20s. Well, i dont think well be setting any records but look at temperatures. Theyll be mid if not upper 80s. If we get 88 in culpeper, 86 in d. C. This afternoon. By lunch time already 80 degrees. Then this evening generally clear skies, 77 at 8 00. Your air conditioning is going to have to go on today, at least at my house and maybe yours as well. It will get a little too warm. A quarter mile visibility in warrentown right down toward louisa. More fog in southern st. Marys. Its not bad at Pax River Naval air station. In the mountains petersburg talking a quarter mile visibility. Temps very comfortable. Even the cool spots are in the low 50s in germantown. 55 for leesburg. Manassas is 54. With the fog warrenton is 56. Its 59 in alexandria. A little milder on the bay north beach 64 and here in washington we have clear skies. Great visibility. 65 degrees this morning. That dew point has crept up to 59. You talked about the humidity. Andrea was mentioning a moment ago. This number when it was really comfortable was in the 40s. Now were inching up toward 60. It is going to be a very warm unoctoberlike day. Any moisture we have, we see it coming in right there through mississippi. Thats where its going to stay. High pressure to the south and west not expected all that much going on. Theres a tropical storm, by the way, central atlantic. Not to worry about that. But some moisture in the caribbean which may become the next tropical depression. That could potentially head toward florida and might even impact our weather by early next week, just providing some moisture for us. We certainly could use it. 86 this afternoon. Warm and dry. Tonight 64 in town with 50s north and west. Light winds. Tomorrow 84. More of a southeasterly wind than a westerly wind. Just a tad cooler. Still way warm for this time of year. 86 on friday. A slight chance after shower mainly in the mountains. Then again on late sunday a chance of a shower. Better chances though monday and tuesday. Monika samtani, were halfway through the week. Good news for that. You know what . Good news is that early this morning we dont have any major issues to report. We do have one road closure i want you to know about, beach drive. Its kind of like a weekend pattern although its due to the Government Shutdown through the park. It slows down blagden Avenue Northwest all the way to the marylanddc line. Expect to find 16th street heavier than normal. Theres debris in the roadway on the outer loop Near University boulevard. Dont know which lane yet. Were trying to get that information for you. Watch your step heading on the westbound side of 495 leaving college park into Silver Spring this morning. Lets take a live look outside. Well go to Georgia Avenue and here terrific is looking good in Silver Spring all the way into bethesda. Lets go back to the maps this time over to the west side of town. Inbound 66 typical slowdowns out of gainesville and manassas. No problems as you travel into fairfax. Well take one last look outside. Heres northbound 395 at the 14th street bridge. Andrea, mike . Thanks, monika. Facebook question of the morning time now. According to an askmen. Com survey, 36 of men say which one of the following is the ultimate male status symbol . Is it a, high profile career, b, having a family, or c, having a membership at an exclusive club . On our wusa9 facebook fan page, iris says my husband proves hes the ultimate male symbol every day with his family. I say b. I like that. Weigh in with your guess and comments. Well reveal the correct answer in about an hour. Were kind of amazed andrea is here this morning. She was up so late last night, she was able to watch the 11 00 news because they was out at a very important event last night. At the afi silver theater, it was the premier washington, d. C. Screening of decoding annie parker. Youve heard our interviews on air with this remarkable woman a threetime Breast Cancer survivor. This is her story and also the story of dr. Mary clara king, the woman who discovered the gene mutation and proving certain cancers are hereditary. It was an education night, an inspiring night. It was an entertaining night. The director and writer Steve Bernstein was there. He told us in the beginning do laugh because there are some funny moments in this and after meeting annie parker and seeing what she went through, you know cancer was afraid to take hold of her. She was not going to let this defeat her, not Breast Cancer, not ovarian cancer, not the tumor on her liver. Its a wonderful movie. If you say it, get out on social media. Let people know its coming to the big screen next year. You must see this film. Its incredible. The woman they picked to play her, the likeness is close. Last nights special screening raised money for the support group for facing our risk of cancer empowered. A wonderful, wonderful event last night and in celebration of the 20th anniversary of buddy check 9, wusa9 is bringing the mammovan right here to broadcast house to help save lives through early detection. The date is thursday, october 10. Thats one week from tomorrow. To find out if youre eligible to be screened on the van or to make an appointment for a mammogram, call 2027413252. Well have more on the mammovan right here tomorrow morning on wusa9. Were following more on the federal Government Shutdown this morning at 5 52. A few congressmen actually defied the Government Shutdown in order to help a group of world war ii veterans yesterday. A really nice story. The veterans had flown to d. C. To visit the world war ii memorial but because of the shutdown there were barricades up. The congressmen started to meet the vets and they decided to move the barricades and let them into the memorial which they did. The Government Shutdown could affect two College Football games this weekend, including navys sold out game against air force in annapolis. You were supposed to see it on cbs. While the teams kept practicing, many workers in the Athletic Department were sent home. Navy will decide whether to cancel the game at noon tomorrow.
