heating systems that have struggled to keep classrooms warm. scott mcfarlane has the findings from a news4 i-team investigation into the number of schools that were operating with outdated overused furnaces. a rising number of schools this year had to close for the day because the heat simply wasn't working. in other cases, principles told kids to bundle up or layer up to brave the cold temperatures inside when schools remained open. a news4 i-team report found several dozen local schools operating with furnaces that will soon need to be replaced or ideally would have already been replaced. in fact an investigation we're working on for news4 at 11:00 will reveal a billion-dollar backlog of furnace repairs and replacements needed just in d.c. area public schools. and the repair crews have been scram j all winter. >> they're work sbeelg the night to make sure when student ace live in the morning we've made the repairs but we still need the funding at the state level we've been requesting. >> the funding might be hard to come by. i-team found a furnace installed in a public school installed in the '60s being used. and brand-new systems in brand-new schools leaving kids cold nonetheless. our investigation at 11:00. new details tonight about a deadly fire in a northern virginia home. what witnesses are now telling us about one of the people who lived there. and an about-face possibly for israeli prime minister net net just netanyahu just days after his victory. and the latest time thoofg wintry weather heed our way. there are new questions tonight about the state of israeli/u.s. relations. >> last week netanyahu said he would not allow the establishment of a palestinian state on his watch. that was right before the election. today he seemed to be walking back from those comments. in an exclusive interview with nbc's andrea mitchell he seemed to downplay tengs as well. >> there's an unbreakable bond between the united states and israel. the president has said that. i've said that. >> andrea joins us from jerusalem tonight with insight into that interview. hi, andrea. >> reporter: hi. good to see you. >> your interview is making a ton of news obviously over here i'm sure around the world. let's get to that palestinian question. right before the election he seemed to go very hard line. is he sticking with that or did he -- he seemed to be backing off of that-. how did it come across to you? >> reporter: yeah. he very much was backing off of it saying it was all a matter of context, that all he was saying is that as long as the palestinians of the west bank are united with hamas in gaza that there can be no peace talks because there's no recognition of israel and that it would be a terrorist state right on their border. so he was definitely backing off of it. he said it was not a change in policy but basically what he said before the election was a reversal of policy and all this after the interview about an hour later josh ernest was briefing at the white house and he sharply rebuked the prime minister saying that what he had said before the election was wrong and it was, you know, divisive and, you know, really used some tough language that it was closive to the relationship. but now just within a last 20 minutes or so we've learned that the president has now called netanyahu two days later to congratulate him on his election victory or less than two days later to congratulate him on the plural ti that they won in the parliament and saying they do need to work together on military and security cooperation but also saying that he is determined to try to reach an agreement with iran on preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon and making sure that it is verifiable. and on that as you know they still disagree. so i think there's going to be more bumps down the road on this relationship. >> andrea did he address criticism about the way he referred to arab israeli voters? some thought they heard some racial tones and overtones there. >> reporter: he did. he denied that that was intended. he said he was simply trying to get his supporters out to the polls, not trying to spresz the arab israeli vote and he tried to stress he's spent a lot of money on help and economic benefits for arab israelis. that's not the perspective among many of them and there was a feeling among many critics, including analysts like tom friedman and jeff goldberg and joel klein in "time" magazine that it was bigoted, he said that was not who he is and that was not his intention, but that's certainly the way it was read in the white house. thatpart of what made them so angry. >> is this now him appearing to soft an little bit or try to clarify, if you will what he had said before which would i think some people read as sort of preelection rhetoric? is this going to hurt him moving on now? can, you just say, no i didn't really mean that it was taken out of context? is that all he has to say, or does he have a lot more fences to mend? >> reporter: he's got fences to mend in europe because there's still going to be hell to pay at the united nations and in other venue where is the palestinians now are going to get a lot more support and there is a growing movement on college campuses in theople in canada and elsewhere. even, you know israeli supporters of israel but people who are very disturbed by the divisions here and the rhetoric from the campaign. >> a busy week for you. andrea mitchell thanks for taking time with us. see you back here in washington. and you can see much more of andrea's interview coming"nightly news" with lester holt at 7:00. time far calendar check. the last full day of winter doug. we need to remind you of that. >> technically spring does not begin until 6:45 tomorrow night. so it still makes sense to everybody out there. i went to a school today and they all said no snow i couldn't believe it. first time i visited kids. yes. frederick douglass elementary. let's show those kids. theer thooez are the second gaders towards loudoun county. a great group of kids. in this second graderip tomorrow that would be cancelled if they were delayed or closed tomorrow. so they do not want to see the snow but unfortunately, loudoun county could be one i think that at least has a delay. storm team 4 radar clear right now. look to the south and west. here's where all the moisture is. there's a lot more back toward the west here. this is what will eventually come our way. as temperatures dive tonight and dip down closer to the freezing mark, that's where we have a chance for snow. the advisories and winter storm warning for martinsburg, hagerstown places to the west towards morgan county then a winter weather advisory clark and warren county page over toward western loudoun, wernimont gomry and frederick. it does not include fairfax, du not include prince george's county does not include the i-95 corridor. i think we'll still have some problems there early tomorrow morning but that's not the area of concern. reston live camera looking pretty good this evening but have some cloud cover around the area more clouds will continue to stream on in. but we're dry. notice the temperature, 52 right now, 50 in leesburg 55 in culpeper and 51 in martinsburg. that's why this may start as rain as it comes in because temperatures are on the mild side. future weather timing it out, 11:00, still nothing, temperatures will be falling. but look at the rain as it makes its way in here by around 3:00 a.m. all rain for the most part. anytime we have rain a little wet surface that's harder for the snow to stick, the snow back to the west but here we are at 7:00 a.m. this is the critical time. both for the snow and for rush hour. again, i think we are going to see the snow in and around the d.c. metro area around 7:00 but notice back to the west it's been snowing here for a few hours. that's the area of concern. more rain to the south. notice you folks, waldorf, quantico fredericksburg almost nothing but rain there. it does change over the rain in the d.c. metro area between 10:00 and around 11:00 and by 1:00 just about everybody is dealing with rain. what are we going to see from this? we think under an inch i-95 corridor down to the south and east most of this just rain but maybe around an inch in some isolated areas. 1 to 3 warrenton, around manassas herndon, reston sterling rockville, 1 to 3 but i'm thinking more of around 2, then 3 to 5. this is the area we're most confident about. 3 to 5 around winchester frederick, hagerstown. if you live up here, could be more than 6 inches or more. higher elevations will see more snow. that's why we have the high impact area along i 81 70 and 270. not much impact around the d.c. metro area. high temperatures tomorrow only in the 30s so it will definitely be a cold day as we make our way through the day. we'll see that snow change to rain. look at saturday first full day of spring, jim handly. 650 degrees. not bad. 51 on sunday. the weekend looking pretty good. we do cool off make our way towards monday and tuesday with highs in the 40s. >>
