Im sorry about that, but a snake in the restaurant probably is not the best thing and he said, well, its no different than having a dog Service Image sitting here. Well, a little bit it is.

A look at stories affecting our community. Were back in 15 minutes with more of the top stories. Good morning. Welcome to reporters notebook. Im pat lawson muse. Metro derailment. We now know what caused the derailment of that empty metro train a couple of weeks ago. Metros interim manager jack requa said the track was too wide at the very spot where it was derailed and it was a problem that metro knew about and a problem that should have been fixed and wasnt and now there are jobs on line. Even requa, bremante said heads should roll on this. I think he had no choice but to go here. You have congress coming down on metro about manufacture on the problems besides this one. Its simple to say it doesnt look good, but thats the case. It doesnt look good. You have the union coming out saying this is mismanagement. You have the interim general manager saying its mismanagement. You have Chris Van Holland saying this is unacceptable. Jerry connally saying this is unacceptable. Metro leadership knowing the problems they had, just in general from the pr stand point, you would have thought this would have been fixed just knowing you dont congress to get into your mix again. So i think the general manager really took the easy road but he probably took the most appropriate road in saying its unacceptable. Well have to fix this, but they may be running out of missteps. I dont know when the well will run dry here. Dave, thats a good question. Is metro running out of missteps . There have been many. I got a tweet from senator mccain saying the other members that you got information from, they are totally, totally repulsed is the only word i can think of by metros actions. It is all very well theyre telling me for the general manager to say this is inine inexcusable. Up and down the line, havent with eseen this before and well do something about it and then critics say nothing gets done. But hes the interim general manager. True. But hes still the guy running. I but maybe thats the problem. Thats why its important to get a permanent general manager. Okay. Thats true. Where the leadership is going, so he knows or she knows what is going on. That could be part of the problem here because the question may be to requa, why didnt you know whats going on especially with all the problems happening here over the last year or so. D. C. Police body cams, Muriel Bowser modified her view about who should see police do did cam videos. She previously said that it shouldnt be routinely available for the public to see. She says only video of public behavior should be available to the public. This program wont begin until the council and the mayor work out the protocols and until thats a public hearing about this. Dave, bowser said her position has shifted because the tide has shifted due to repeated Police Shootings around the country. But it isnt just the shootings that are shifting the tide, but take for example the case of sam dubose in cincinnati, had it not for that video we wouldnt know what happened during that traffic stop. Thats the whole story from ferguson on down to now. If we hadnt had video of it, it could have been largely been ignored and the question is how far do you go . Clearly, you need the videos to show what happened. The question of privacy though comes up. How far do you go, are there bedroom scenes, are there family scenes, domestic scenes that have nothing to do with it, crying baby or Something Like that. It obviously could be edited but the question i think its been proven they served a purpose and the idea of closing them up too much is not a good idea. I would somewhat agree with the mayors position that the tide had turned. The tide had turned when the mayor said she didnt want any of that video released. I think whats happened here is the District Council and councilman mcduffie said we will send this back to you and we want you to send us something that makes video available to the public in some form or fashion. If the final agreement is anywhere close to what the mayor and council are discussing right now, d. C. s policy would provide more access than any other city in the country. I think its amazing that you go from here to there. The mayor said, well, well open it up to a certain degree. I think what you have here is a little bit of politic, the mayor wants money for body cameras and the council have said well give you this much. But if you want more, we need you to prove to us or were going to put it in your lap to find the money for additional body cameras. Dave, while people want to see that video and while its made a difference, dont they want to see what goes on behind closed doors . Oh, sure. The can eis how far be the question is how far behind the closed doors should we allow them to see . Thats the question i raised before. You need transparency and there are questions of privacy. You dont want to overdo this thing. They have been extraordinarily good at providing that, changing the whole conversation really. But you dont want to go too far. More power from the wind. The d. C. Government is getting more wind power, that announcement from the mayor last week who said as of the 1st of august, the City Government is getting 35 from turbines in pennsylvania. Mayor bowser says it will save an estimated 45 million over 20 years. She says Climate Change is real, its now, its the citys responsibility to do something about it. Well, thats a good thing. You know, d. C. Has looked at is looked at as one of the cities thats a forerunner in terms of going green. 35, 40 million over 20 years a great number. Doesnt get passed on to the consumers so the issue is the more you educate the consumer about going green, great. But at some point the consumer will say, i know this is saving the city money, but how is it saving on my bill . That may be the best thing about this program, it may educate residents that if the city is saving something here, maybe if i go green, can you show me how i can save money . Well, theres a lot of hot air in this city, thats for sure. Whether thats the kind of wind that we need for the Technology Remains to be seen. If wind power proves to be as worthy as it is, that will save the city money, allowing them to spend money on things people want them to spend money on more. If some way if you have a wi wind a wind friendly government, that has to spread to the private economy. Got to take a break. Well be right back. Stay with us. Halfway there, Maryland Governor larry hogan is halfway through his six rounds of chemotherapy. The republican governor announced on facebook this past week that he had good news and then great news. Good news is hes completed his fifth straight day of chemotherapy. He added that the great news is that he has finished the third of six scheduled rounds. Sounds like hes doing well in terms of his treatment. How is he doing politically . Well, hes obviously still working. Hes doing his job. Hes doing his job. You have some democrats saying hes doing his job to the point where hes creating friction, hes in the hospital and hes using the power of the position to push programs that he wants. Not consulting with democrats on some issues. I think thats going to be a problem once he hw zm on the things you want to do without having to sort of work with the other side. He seems very focused only his agenda, dave. He has shown a great amount of focus and a great amount of i would say political goodwill. I mean, hes sniping at the democrats, but it isnt this knock down, dragout thing that were getting into in virginia with terry mcauliffe. I think it has to do with temperament and hes done some active thing. Hes closed down the disreputable prison and needs to be better run, and then hes trying to change the redistricting situation, to make it more fair to democrats. The democrats dont want to go along with it, again, you talk about consultation. I think some of the democrats dont think they were consulted enough. But it isnt out of the realm of possibility theyll come up with plan. So hes a lone republican moving along. He hasnt made any horrible gaffes. He shows himself to be a reliable, effective, to a certain extent governor. Meanwhile, Bob Mcdonnell is asking a federal Appeals Court to let him remain free while he appeals his public corruption to the court. He said hes not a flight risk and he insists questions remain substantial despite the lower court rejection. Hes still free on bond, bremante, but hes running out of options. Even his defense team has said the Supreme Court is it for the governor. I think his defense team and governor mcdonnell still look at this and said, look, we have former attorney generals who said this is a bad precedent, how can we meet with those who it seems like its a quid pro quo. And the courts are disagreeing with him. I think really the issue now is if the Supreme Court does hear this case, which side will the Supreme Court fall on . Because if the Supreme Court sides with mcdonnell, then we do have sort of a different Playing Field here, if the Supreme Court is saying well, what governor mcdonnell did is not illegal even though the courts said it is. The legal trajectory is moving in a certain direction and its not going his way. He can say i didnt act improperly, no matter what gifts i good. The law is very vague and then thats the gifts he and his wife got and the picture doesnt look right. He still has a lot of goodwill and as a governor does a lot of great thing, a lot of people think he went the wrong way. And his side is saying that the original judge did not go into the in to the prospective jurors in terms of knowing if there was any bias or if they had heard anything about the case. Thats not falling his way. Finally, i want to ask you about the credit cards in Prince Georges County school board. Some members of the school board continue using taxpayer credit cards for months after voting to eliminate the use of the credit cards after a news4 iteam investigation found them using it on restaurants and they voted to end that program. But a new iteam review showed two Board Members continued to use the cards to buy meals. Whats the problem . Appearances. Doesnt look good. You voted in january to end it and then it was not public that the decision was, well, well use them until april and then well stop. Was anything done illegally, no. Have there been problems with the board of education, yes. Beyond credit cards and the state taking it over. They need to be clean as a whistle even though legally it is okay. Appearance wise it doesnt look good. Giving someone a credit card from the people i talked to about this on the hill and in government is not a great idea. It is an invitation to excess. Its a temptation you dont want to give them. Sure, make them file for a legitimate cost in a different way, but a credit card carte blanche, a lot of people dont think thats a great idea. Maybe we should look into the amount theyre paid. They say theyre a parttime group, i believe. Maybe its time to say what they really are is a fulltime group and treat them accordingly. Thank you for being with us this morning. Stay with us now. News4 todaynt cos. News4 today begins with breaking news.

Two construction workers died after an accident and it happened at the site on fathers legacy near frederick road yesterday morning. The two men were in the bucket of a lift machine when suddenly it tipped over, throwing them to the ground. Theyre identified as Roland Mendez from Silver Spring and erik ortiz from hyattsville. A Historic College in virginia said its doing away with images of the confederate flag. The college of william and mary said its taking the depiction off the plaques. A plaque is currently in an Academic Building but it will live in the schools archives from now on. Well, so far this year, prisons released 75 wrongfully convicted inmates. Thats a record pace and part of a growing trend across the country. Now the question, can any amount of money make up for all those years behind bars . Heres nbcs peter alexander. Reporter for almost 20 years he was inmate number 501130, Sabine Burgess was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his girlfriend michelle dyson. I loved michelle, i dptdz kill her. Reporter burgess said he found her dying of gunshot wounds to the head. When they charge you with murder, what did you think . I couldnt believe it. I thought it was a mistake. Reporter the tests showed you fired a gun. No, sir. Reporter you told them you were innocent. It turns out he was innocent and a judge released him last year. But instead of relying on a state program to compensate him, burgess is suing the baltimore Police Department alleging a pattern of pursuing wrongful convictions. He claims the Police Crime Lab fabricated gunshot residue tests to make it look like he fired a gun. The detectives withheld an eyewitness statement that would have cleared him and another man confessed, saying i killed his girlfriend. A jury reward would likely pay burgess much more and it would hold police accountable. You can imagine that the damage is enormous. Hes walked out of a time machine and fast forwarded two decades and he has to piece together a life for himself. Reporter his exoneration was one of a record 125 nationwide last year. But only 30 states and washington, d. C. Guarantee compensation and the payouts vary widely. Texas pays 80,000 for every year behind bars but wisconsin pays 5 a year with a cap of 25,000. The innocents projects Rebecca Brown said states dont have the budgets to pay them. After all these people have lost everything. Reporter today burgess scratching out a living rehabbing rowhouses.

Reporter he faces a tough new court battle for compensation while not comments on the lawsuit the Baltimore Police have moved to dismiss the case. Well, this video unbelievable. A man holds a gun up to a 72yearold veterans face to try to steal his car. We hear what happened when that vet almost got away. This is we want the car and were going to take it. And how a tantrum in the dugout by one baseball player led to his teammate getting hurt. Oops. Youre watching news4 today. Welcome back. Well, some president ial contenders took their show on the road. Heading to the iowa state fair to talk with potential voters and some of them landed their own helicopter there. Guess who did that . Who was that . Just back from the fair and here to talk about it is moderator of meet the press, chuck todd. The Bernie Sanders helicopter i mean, it was i was shocked too when bernie came in on a helicopter. Actually a gyrocopter. Of course it wasnt Bernie Sanders, but donald trump. You talked with him oneonone. Yeah. We sat down for a good 45 minutes and it was look, we went through the gamut of issues. This is the i think the type of interview a lot of people was saying, well, when are we going to hear trump on this issue or that issue . I like to think we hit that and that and that issue. Whether its minimum wage, whether its the future of nato, whether its what he would do with isis. The iran agreement. Some of the things wont surprise people and there will be some positions that he takes that like a what type of thing. Basically the Trump Campaign since the start where some things doesnt shock you, some things do. But he is growing more comfortable being a frontrunner. And thats what you have noticed here a little bit. He wanted to tone down his demeanor, not being antagonis c antagonistic. He wasnt ready to fight at a drop of hat. He was enjoying his moment. Lets turn to Hillary Clinton. Shes turning over more of the private emails. Is this following her more and haunting her more than she thought it would . Its definitely doing that. I was in iowa for three days and its always important to get on the ground sometimes because you have to feel it. How real is this stuff, how isnt . I was stunned at i did a piece on friday night on nightly news, well have much more on meet the press, how many rank and file democrats i ran into in iowa, whether it was at the state fair or other events, who are very concerned about this. Yeah. Who were number one wanting to see more candidates in the race. Excited about whether it was biden or gore or whatever. But there are people who said, i assume im going to vote for her, but i dont understand why shes a handling this email thing the way shes handling it. The Clinton Campaign has wanted to say, this is washington this is the republicans. Its gotten into the mainstream of the democratic primary. This is a problem for her. Real quickly, al gore. Your take on that. Thats going nowhere. Look, gore this is people around gore. But this is what happens when you have a frontrunner that looks very fragile like Hillary Clinton right now. Look, joe biden, you know, im told today hes leaning yes. Wow. Really . Okay. The percentage i was told to put it at 6040. Over the last week hes gotten more encouragement every day. Thanks. I look forward to the show. A reminderou can see meet the press every sunday right here on nbc4 right after news4 today. All right now, look at this home Surveillance Video out of florida. Man here is pointing his gun, threatening someone inside a white car there. Its this guy, 72yearold lawrence williams. He is a disabled veteran. He was going out for groceries when two men threatened him twice and did pull him out of his car. He was in my face, like im in your face. With the gun. Police did find his car about a mile away. They say theyre getting close to finding the bad guys thanks to the pretty good Surveillance Video. What a scary thing. I hope they get those guys. Heres what happens when things arent going your way. Take a look. A San Diego Padres player threw his helmet after a call he didnt like like that. But it bounced, hits another teammate in the head. Look closely. You can see the teammate actually fell in the dugout there. The teammate then lost his temper. He threw a bucket of popcorn on the ground. He didnt like getting hit in the head with the helmet. So here it goes. Popcorn on the ground. You know . Popcorn didnt hurt anybody. No. Baseball tantrums are the best. Oh, yeah. That was a tantrum for real. Hes like oh, no. What are we looking at today, amelia . Its gorgeous, it is beautiful outside. Heres a live look outside of the studios in northwest washington. You can see the sunrise and sunset time on my facebook page. Low humidity, calm winds, i know a lot of us enjoyed the weather yesterday. You can enjoy it today. In my opinion, i would say its pleasant, but just to be on the safe side im going to say slightly uncomfortable for the most part though, really a great day. Now, as we look to tomorrow, the humidity slowly starts to increase. So it will start to feel sticky outside. Tuesday, wednesday and thursday, it does start to feel oppressive. Tuesday, wednesday and thursday, when you factor in the mugginess it will feel like temperatures are closer to 100 degrees so were dealing with that feels like temperature. Today though the weather having a low impact on your day. Its hot, its nice. Plenty of sunshine in the forecast. Temperatures right now in the 60s. This is just gorgeous outside. 63 at dulles. Camp springs at 63. Heres your hour by hour planner by 11 00 a. M. , mid 80s. Afternoon and evening hours, in the low to mid 90s. Maybe a thunderstorm this afternoon on into the early evening hours. West of the i91 corridors over the mountain areas where youre dealing with fog right now. Lows tonight, similar to this morning. It will dip into the 60s in the suburbs. Then tomorrow, that commuter forecast for the morning temperature around 75 degrees, a nice walk to work tomorrow morning. I would say the earlier the better. Because as the sun comes up, it will start to feel hot pretty quickly. Headed home its hot, 92 degrees. If youre walking home, maybe not the best walk home, but if youre driving home, have your sunglasses handy.

You need to get outside today. Yes, absolutely. So today were looking at nice weather. Low humidity. Highs today just a touch warmer than yesterday. Looking at mostly sunny skies. I love this picture, taking a shot at the studios here. You can see the flag there in the front circle not moving, calm winds. Plenty of sunshine. Im headed outside. I cant wait to get out there. Because it will be so nice. The heat wave continues, continues on into thursday. That means well hit 90 degrees through thursday. Humidity at its worst, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. A little bit of uncertainty at the end of the week. If you have plans friday and saturday, maybe you have a wedding youre part of or attending next weekend. Right now, looking dry. Ill have more on that when i show you the seven day. Right now at 72 degrees. The dew point at 64. If its below 65 its comfortable outside. By 2 00, well hit 90 degrees. So its definitely hot outside. But its kind of a dry heat that were dealing with today. Heres a High Temperature in your neighborhood. Low to mid 90s. Hagerstown, 90. Maybe a late day thunderstorm over petersburg and luray. Most of us dry so youll have dinner outdoor, looking good for that. Maybe 5 00, a little bit too hot. 93 degrees but by 7 00 p. M. , 9 00 p. M. , it starts to get comfortable. The sunset time right around 8 00 p. M. So 9 00, feeling very nice. Maybe hold off on taking the dog until 9 00 p. M. When its more comfortable. Sky cast tomorrow morning, 6 00 a. M. , suburbs in the upper 70s. Washington in the low 70s. Temperatures already in the low 90s by noon. Once again, highs in the low to mid 90s. Skycast 4 is keeping plenty of sunshine around throughout the day tomorrow. Another nice evening tomorrow night to go for that walk or jog. But i want to point out once again theres that chance that were dealing with a thunderstorm over the mountains, but notice how most of the area at 6 00 p. M. On future weather is seeing plenty of sunshine and dry conditions and a little bit humid for tomorrow. On tuesday, a High Temperature of 92 degrees. Maybe a late day thunderstorm or storm. Also a chance of a storm mainly later in the day, a high around 90. 91 for a high on thursday. Best chance of showers and thunderstorms on thursday. Tuesday, wednesday and thursday, it will feel closer to 100 during the afternoon. I think a cold front does clear the area. That will set us up for more comfortable area.
