This morning. In Upper Marlboro, ritchiemarlboro road at the beltway, eastbound lanes are blocked because of the water main break. And wssc is out on the scene. 270 at old hundred road seeing a bit of volume headed southbound. When you look at the map, 270 looks yellow. But really moving, no major problems. 95 at 123, northbound and southbound rolling along nicely. Travel times in ten minutes. Thank you. Many of you are going back to school this morning. It is the first day of school in Prince Georges County. Yep. Parents as you finish packing the lunches, a lot of new things to know about.

State of nevada. Well keep you updated as we get more information. But first i want to keep you updated on what the weather is like for this gorgeous friday. Meteorologist Steve Udelson is going to Tim Studebaker is going to tell us about that. Its been so mild and so dry lately. People are noticing their allergies acting up. And indeed tree pollen is high out there. Its mostly juniper and cedar. There are others mixed in. But those the majority of the pollen right now. Also mold is low. All. But allergy report in february. I think thats the first time ive done that. 71 in renosparks. Thats well above the average. The average is 54 degrees. Were going for 71. One degree away from the record of 72. 60 in south lake. Winds gusting to 40 miles per hour. With ridge gusts up to 75 miles per hour. This area of moisture will traverse off to the north later on today. And it will fall apart. As it does so as well. Were not talking much in the way of shower chances but a chance north of renospar
Willow grove. We have this gas work repair work closing easton road. You can take fitzwatertown road and delaware to get around. Its at the north toll plaza. As quiet as can be. We continue to follow breaking news out of north philadelphia where a man was shot dead but not before he crashed his car into a house. And it caused it to partially collapse. Nbc10s katy zachry has been gathering new information all morning. Shes live on scene. Reporter high, tracy, behind me this is the partial Building Collapse on seybert street. Police say the victim was shot driving near this abandoned home. It caused his car to crash into the home. As you see, the front of it is completely gone. The victims car over the last few hours was towed but when we were here, we saw hundreds of bricks that have fallen under that rubble. Paramedics were first to respond to the scene. When they got the driver out of the vehicle he was dead. And they saw he had multiple shots to his head and body, homicide detectives
Important because it is about more than just handing out dollars and vests. It ensures all vests are compliant with National Institute of justice safety standards. Only the federal government has the resources to do that level of analytical work. Its no more reasonable for us to expect every state to have their own National Institutes of health to do Cancer Research or for every state to have a National Institute of highway traffic safety. Having one coordinated National Program to ensure that these bulletproof vests are as effective as possible as saving the lives of the men and women of Law Enforcement just makes sense. In my view, the denial of a federal role where it is necessary and efficient would take us back to the articles of confederation, a very cramped nairnd roand narrow view of ours government. The truth is plain. Without this program, we leave Police Officers without lifesaving vests in the line of fire, in the line of duty. And for us to fail to stand up for them when t
The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Vitter thank you, madam president. Madam president , i woman to the floor to speak about an issue we should all be concerned about, the state of Veterans Health care in our v. A. Hospitals, our v. A. Clinics, our v. A. System and around the country. I have been concerned about this for some time, working very hard on getting Outpatient Clinics built in louisiana, new ones, expanded ones in particular in lafayette and lake charles. Im a member of a Bipartisan Working Group on v. A. Backlog issues, and we have made substantial progress through that bipartisan group. We have also introduced legislation that deals specifically with that v. A. Backlog crisis. And as we work on those things, unfortunately, the news out of the v. A. Gets worse and worse and the need for Real Progress on these fronts, including the communitybased clinics im going to talk about in louisiana and elsewhere, that need gets more and more dire. Think about the recent repo
