They are investigating the mishandling of those potentially deadly viruses. Craig boswell explains. Reporter the head of the centers for Disease Control and prevention is on capitol hill answering questions about cdc labs mishandling of potentially deadly viruses. What we have here is a pattern of reoccurring issues, of complacency and a lax culture of safety. Reporter in june researchers in atlanta transferred what they thought were noninfectious anthrax samples to labs not equipped to handle live bacteria exposing dozens of workers to live anthrax. In march cdc workers lost track of the deadly h1n1 influenza virus improperly sent to a lab in athens, georgia, and this month a lab worker at the National Institutes of health found several vials of small box from the 1950s in a storage refrigerator. What were seeing is a pattern of an insufficient culture of safety. Reporter the head of the cdc tells lawmakers his agency is taking steps to make sure it doesnt happen again.

Your traffic look ahead, im Monika Samtani. Plenty of parents start to worry about safety when their kids get behind the wheel the first time. A new report recommends the best cars for teens. Many teens are not driving cars that off good crash protection or enough safety technology. Today the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released its first ever list of recommended used cars for teens and a list of the most important guidelines when purchasing a car. Young drivers should avoid high horsepower which can tempt them to drive faster. Bigger, heavier vehicles protect better in a crash. There are no mini or small cars on the recommended list. Surprisingly there are some suvs on the list. They highly recommend electronic stability control and the car you choose should have the best safety ratings possible. Many parents want to purchase older cars for 13s first vehicle which may not have for their teens first vehicle which may not have all the safety features. We have a full list of all vehicles recommended on our website www. Wusa9. Com. You can tell me about the traffic issues that drive you crazy. Tweet so love her or hate her, Kim Kardashians new video game is a hit with some. Since its release last month Kim Kardashian hollywood became the second most downloaded free to play game sold by apple. What . Really . What is her claim fame . Its a game. The game is on track to make 200 million. Usa today entertainment reporter, 200 million. That will certainly help cover the 20 to 30 million in wedding costs, right . Wont she have a little left over. This is a nice bit of change for kim who is not hurting at all. So its sort of insane to think that one game that you can download on your ipad has already generated 200 million. I think the game has been out like two weeks or something. Are you a gamer . Im an angry birdser. I do angry birds. Girl, thats so 10 years ago. Im kidding. Its fun. I did download the Kim Kardashian game for work purposes to see what all the fuss is about. Sure, you did. I havent played it. Apparently you get to sort of be kim and make your way through the ranks of hollywood. I dont know that there is a sex tape element in the game. Lets hope not. Is it a shoot em up kind of game . No. Its literally buy these clothes, date this person, go to this store. Apparently one reporter who downloaded the appear and actually played it spent app and actually played it spent 500 because to navigate through the game you need to spend money. Its a free app to download, but you need to spend money. We should have been an app developer. Now you know, kid, what you should do. Be a game developer. It appears theres a family feud between the wife of the late casey kasem and his kid. This is almost like Michael Jackson and james brown. This is beyond a feud because he is still not buried. He died a month ago. Casey kasem died a month ago and his body is still in a funeral home. His children want him buried in california and his wife has not come to make arrangements or claim the body or anything. So its really insane. This comes after she threw raw meat at his daughter earlier this summer. This is beyond family feud. If you let the man sit in a funeral home for a month, that is just wrong. Its really bad. Theres an interesting study weve talked about today of. It was published in the journal of psychology of popular media culture and found women who posted sexy pictures on social media make them appear less confident and attractive evidently to their peers. How did this sell . Tell that to Kim Kardashian. Im sorry. I have to say that. I mean there are celebrities that post sexy pictures, kate upton, Kim Kardashian, but i can see if youre a regular person and someone is searching for you and want to hire you for a job and all your social media pictures are you in a bikini or making a ducky face. It is a talker because you put the two pictures together, youre not going to think the person who is showing a whole lot of skin is more confident. Heres the point. Like if you think thats appropriate, then im sort of like where is your head at . Always good to see you. You, too. This is a story, jan that, we talked about a little bit about a grieving father in ohio who posted this picture of his late infant daughter on the reddit social media site. For anybody with photoshop to somehow find a way to get the tubes that had been on her for her tiny little life away and this is one that scores that Nathan Steffel got back s daughter sophia. She died of a liver tumor. She was just 6 weeks old. This has been trending all over social media and wusa9 web producer jonifasilitis joins us now to talk about this and you think wow, he must be so moved. We just showed one of so many pictures and what happened with reddit is this father just wanted to see his daughter without the tubes. Never made it out of the hospital. They never took the tubes off. He asked for just one picture and the love came pouring in. People loved this story on social media today because it took such a tragic situation and it was so selfless and beautiful. It wasnt just one person here and there posting pictures. One person would start photoshoping and the next person would kind of start a chain reaction. The next person would say hey, i tweaked yours a little bit and it moved on and on and it was like this Internet Community everyone joining in to contribute and help this joining father. There were sketches, photoshops. We have all of them. Look at that step. Beautiful. People said i sketch. People said i dont have a lot of experience, but im a mother and just put my son to bed and i cant go to sleep until i try. Were getting a break now from the heat, the humidity and the storms. No doppler tonight. We can just look at low humidity and a comfortable night, probably turn the ac off. Lets start with temperatures, most folks in the even this hour downtown, 79 in d. C. , manassas and leesburg, nice compared to where weve been the past few days. Lets go ahead and talk about the forecast lows tonight. This is why i think you can rest the ac even inside the beltway talking mid60s tonight, 65 for a low in bethesda, 64 in rockville, 62 in sterling. Get out toward leesburg might even be in the low 60s, maybe upper 50s out toward laytonsv in tonights health alert progress in the fight against alzheimers disease, researchers in minnesota identified a new protein in the brains of alzheimers patience.

There are many new fitness dystonias count those heart rate monitors, but fitness devices that can count those heart rate monitors, but do you ever wonder how accurate they are . The vivo fit, the samsung gear fit. Several new fitness devices offer heart rate tracking using optical monitors to measure blood flow, but how do they compare to the Gold Standard of heart rate monitors, the ekg . For each device i tried to get a reading three times at rest and three times after running. The first device was the garmin vivo fit which gives you a continuous heart rate without stopping for a reading. The test is dead on. These chest straps essentially have an ekg lead right over the chest. So its the same technology. The next device i tested required you stop testing and hold still to get a reading using optical sensors. The basis carbon steel and samsung were off at any normal resting rate but not after running. The optical sensor is the near your heart. Its sensing it through the capillaries. Reporter the pulse 02 and Samsung Galaxy s5 was surprisingly accurate for a monitor built into a smartphone. So far thats the fastest and most accurate. When about inaccuracies, basis and y things expressed confidence in their technology. The samsung gear fit manual says inaccuracies may be due to measurement conditions and surrounding. For more on fitness trackers go to c net. Com. The devices are currently not regulated by the fda because they are sold for Recreational Use and not as medical devices. Confusion over our hometown, even some airport workers are having trouble knowing where d. C. Is. How did that happen . Well tell you the story. Plus our insiders on the inside pitch on whats going right and not so right with the nats this seas breaking news from the white house where president barack obama is speaking about the situation in ukraine and more sanctions against russia. Lets listen in. The challenges i reviewed with secretary kerry this afternoon. First of all, i thanked secretary kerry and our outstanding civilian and military leaders in afghanistan for their success in helping to break the impasse over the president ial election there. Thanks to their efforts and, of course, thanks to the afghans and the courage of the two candidates, both of whom i spoke to last week, the candidates have agreed to abide by the results of a comprehensive and internationally supervised audit that will review all the ballots and to form a unity government. If they keep their commitments, afghanistan will witness the first democratic transfer of power in the history of that nation. This progress will honor both candidates who put the interests of a united afghanistan first. The millions of afghans who defied threats in order to vote and the service of our troops and civilians who sacrificed so much. This progress remind is us that even as our combat mission in afghanistan ends this year, americas commitment to a sovereign, united and democratic afghanistan will endure along with our determination that americans are never again threatened by terrorists inside of afghanistan. Second, john updated me on the negotiations with iran over its nuclear program. Over the last six months iran has met its commitments under the interim deal we reached last year halting the progress of its nuclear program, allowing more inspections and rolling back its most dangerous stockpile of nuclear material. Meanwhile we are working with our p5 plus one partners and iran to reach a comprehensive agreement to ensure us that irans program will be peaceful and they wont obtain a nuclear weapon. Its clear to me that weve made Real Progress in several areas and we have a credible way forward, but as we approach july 20th, the deadline under the interim deal, there are still significant gaps between the International Community and iran and we have more work to do. The next few days with well continue consulting with congress and our team will continue discussions with iran and our partners as we determine whether additional time is necessary to extend our negotiations. Third, we continue to support diplomatic efforts to end the violence between israel and hamas. As ive said repeatedly, israel has a right to defend itself from rocket attacks that terrorize the israeli people. Theres no country on earth that can be expected to live under a daily barrage of rockets and im proud that the iron dome system that americans helped israel develop and fund has saved many israeli lives, but over the past two weeks weve all been heartbroken by the violence, especially the death and injury of so many innocent civilians in gaza, men, women and children who are caught in the crossfire. Thats why we have been working with our partners in the region to pursue a ceasefire to protect civilians on both sides. Yesterday israel did agree to a ceasefire. Unfortunately hamas continued to fire rockets at civilians thereby prolonging the conflict, but the israeli people and the Palestinian People dont want to live like this. They deserve to live in peace and security prefrom fear. Thats why were going to continue to encourage diplomatic efforts to restore the ceasefire and we support egypts continued efforts to bring this about. Over the next 24 hours well continue to stay in close contact with our friends and parties in the region and use all of our diplomatic resources and relationships to support efforts of closing a deal on a ceasefire. In the meantime well continue to stress the need to protect civilians in gaza and in israel and to avoid further escalation. Finally given the continued provocations in ukraine, today i approved a new set of sanctions on some of russias Largest Companies and financial institutions. Along with our allies, ive repeatedly made it clear that russia must halt the flow of weapons and fighters across the border into ukraine, that russia must urge separatists to release their horsages and support a ceasefire, that russia needs to pursue lost erics and support a ceasefire, that russia needs to pursue international talks. Ive made this clear to mr. Putin. Many of our European Partners have made this clear to mr. Putin. We have emphasized our preference to resolve this diplomatically but that we have to see concrete actions and not just words that russia is, in fact, committed to trying to end this conflict along the Russia Ukraine border. So far russia has failed to take any of the steps that i mentioned. In fact, russias support for the separatists and violations of ukraine sovereignty has ntinued. On top of the sanctions weve already imposed, were therefore designating selected sectors of the russian economy as eligible for sanctions. Were freezing assets of several Russian Defense companies and we are blocking new financing of some of russias most important banks and energy companies. These sanctions are significant, but they are also targeted designed to have the maximum impact on russia while limiting any spill overeffects on American Companies or those of our allies. We are taking these actions in close consultation with our european allies. Were meeting in brussels to agree on their next steps and what we are expecting is that the russian leadership will see once again that its actions in ukraine have consequences including a weakening russian economy and increasing diplomatic isolation. Meanwhile well continue to stand with the ukrainian people as they seek to determine r own future. They have made remarkable progress these past few months, held democratic elections. They elected a new president , pursuing important reforms and signed an ocean agreement with the European Union and the United States will continue to offer our strong support to ukraine to help stablize its economy and defend its territorial integrity because like any people, ukraine has reserved the right to forge their own destiny. In closing, we live in a complex world and at a challenging time and none of these challenges len themselves to quick or easy solutions, but all of them require American Leadership and as commander in chief, im confident that if we stay patient and determined that we will, in fact, meet these challenges. Thanks very much. Wide ranging press conference talking about afghanistan, iran, the conflict between israel and hamas and whats going on in ukraine and the new sanctions, more serious ones, against russia. Thats over, of course, the ukrainian crisis. Thats going to target some of russias Largest Companies and people connected directly to president vladimir putin. In the meantime at home todays weather was a dream compared to monday and tuesday. We wered it. I think we did. We earned it. I think we did.

Todays inside pitch Holden Kushner and i talk about what has gone well and what the nats biggest problems have been so far. Reporter lets talk about the first half. Your biggest story line of the first half of the season thus far . I think the got to be the injuries. Withstanding the Jordan Zimmermann injury youve got gio gonzalez on the dl right when doug fister came back. Bryce harper missed most of the season. Ryan zimmerman and wilson ramos and adam laroche and denard span for seven days with the head issue have been on the dl. Everybody has gotten hurt on this team. Were the only healthy two around here. That, rendon and werth. Lets talk about how theyve been able to overcome it. Despite all those injuries theyve been able to stay afloat here. They have. Big reason why, the bullpen maybe the best in major league baseball, soriano, clifford and storen, Anthony Rendon who i think has been the team mvp has carried this team offensively. Adam laroche has, too besides his two weeks on the dl and starting pitching youve had Stephen Strasburg up and down and then throw in tanner roark and Jordan Zimmermann. I want to go back to starting pitching. Rate how theyve been this first half. Very good. A b, b plus to this point. Strasburg has had some underlying statistics that have made it not as aesthetically pleasing, but he has pitched well. Jordan zimammernn, very well, gio started to find his groove and doug fist fister has been terrific. If you had to pick an mvp . Rendon. Hes been a leader, defensively spectacular at third and second base, very versatile. This is a guy that has been the most valuable player to me in the first half. And the nats start the second half of the campaign friday when they host the brewers here in d. C. Coming up later this week holden and i delve into our second half prediction you are watching wusa9 news at 6 00, a beautiful shot of the d. C.
