>> good evening, jim. he could be angry with the process but also another part of that poll. that poll also says that both senator bernie sanders and hillary clinton could beat any of the republican candidates. now, trump says he will still win the republican nomination and he could still beat clinton or sanders. republican front-runner donald trump blasts the nomination process as rigged. >> we've got a corrupt system. it's not right. we're supposed to be a democracy. >> reporter: trump claims senator ted cruz manipulated the state convention in colorado to get all 34 delegates. today trump tweeted the republican party is in trouble. the cruz campaign fired back in a statement saying trump always complains after a loss. governor john kasich says cruz supporters used unfair tactics in michigan. still -- >> everybody has talking about who wins what thing and i keep telling people it's about accumulating delegates. >> reporter: political experts say trump's best option is to get delegates through the remaining primaries. >> for donald trump that means big wins in new york, pennsylvania, new jersey, and then most of all in california. >> reporter: on the democratic side, senator bernie sanders questions hillary clinton's judgment. >> this campaign listens to ordinary americans billionaire campaign contributors. >> reporter: clinton says sanders falters under scrutiny. >> here in new york senator sanders has had trouble answering questions, has had trouble answering questions about his core issue, namely dealing with the banks. >> reporter: the democrats' debate is thursday with the new york primary april 19th. and for the democrats that new poll shows 30% of bernie sanders' supporters would not vote for hillary clinton in new york if she were the nominee. it's important to note that's the same hard feelings among hillary clinton supporters back in 2008 and the large part of them ended up voting for now president barack obama anyway. reporting live on capitol hill, edward lawrence. now back to you, wendy. >> thanks, edward. well, whoever wins the white house, cia director john brennan makes it clear that waterboarding is off the table. critics call it torture. waterboarding is one of the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques that president obama banned right after he took brennan told nbc news that his agency will not resume waterboarding or other harsh tactics even if a new president orders it. >> absolutely i would not -- i would not agree to having any cia officer carrying out waterboarding again. >> donald trump has said that he would bring waterboarding back. ted cruz says he would use any enhanced interrogation techniques needed to keep the country safe. however, cruz has said that waterboarding would not be a widespread practice on his watch. you can see more of richard engel's exclusive interview on "nbc nightly news" right after this broadcast. plenty of sunshine after some showers this morning. take a look and show you what's going on o 76 down towards virginia beach. as we move on towards the rest of the afternoon, we are going to start to see the clouds increase late tonight into early tomorrow morning. that's going to come with some rain. we have some rain back to the west. cincinnati, around pittsburgh, down towards atlanta seeing that rain and all of that rain is making its way our way. now, tonight no problem. this evening no problem. if you're heading down towards nats park, game starting at 7:00, 67 degrees. nice and mild. 9:00 around 64. a nice night tonight. temperatures the next couple days though, they're not going to stay this warm. this go back down but we'll talk about that in just a minute. also have that hour-by-hour forecast for tomorrow's rain. >> looking forward to it. soon we could be calling two very busy metro stations by different names. >> there's a proposal to make the changes to reflect other landmarks near the smithsonian and the foggy bottom stations. all new at 6:00 tonight, transportation reporter adam tuss has learned there's a lot more riding on >> reporter: can a metro station name point you in the right direction? can you tell me where the kennedy center is from here? >> that way. >> reporter: should you rely on a metro station name as guidance? >> the biggest thing though is look at the map before you get going rather than just get down here and try to figure out which way to go. >> reporter: when you think of smithsonian, you probably also think of the national mall and metro wants to add national mall to the smithsonian station stop. but when you think of foggy bottom, george washington university, do you also think about the kennedy center? it's about a half mile away from the station. as ryan o' ferguson tweets me, national mall makes sense. there are practical concerns. if you're going to change the name of a metro station you also have to change it out here on the station pylon. adding kennedy center to an ard crowded sign, that could get complicated. according to a metro presentation set to be delivered this thursday, the district would have to foot the bill for the changes to this station signage and it certainly gets into the thousands of dollars. some riders like patrick duffy say with metro's current state of affairs, a station name change should be the last thing they're thinking about. >> terrible. >> reporter: really that bad? >> i think the blue line usually going into alexandria and sometimes i wait 45 minutes waiting for one that's not totally packed. >> if name changes are approved, the signage would be changed when the next phase of the silver line would be opened. the maps and signs could then be updated at once. in the district, adam tuss, news4. we have some important information for you if you or your teenager are planning to get a driver's license anytime soon in the district. it could cost you a whole bunch of money. >> reporter: a attention from police and public officials in the neighborhood where a 7-year-old girl was shot last week. i'll have details coming up on news4. and cap fans went crazy today for a chance to see their guys in the playoffs. at giant, shoppers are discovering low prices by the thousands, plus a thousand more that just dropped. all these low prices! what are you trying to do, get me to feed the whole neighborhood?

reporter: well, there is some good news now. there has been an arrest made in this shooting. the announcement came just a couple hours ago when the mayor walked through this neighborhood. folks are

time. >> i fear more my life and my kids. >> reporter: knox place is getting new attention now since the shooting. >> unfortunately that's what it has taken for the city and the community leaders to say, okay, let us address this issue. >> reporter: and now that an arrest has been made, what do precedents think is needed long term when the focus inevitably turns elsewhere. >> we need policemen around 24. it's not safe around here. >> reporter: the assistant chief tells us there shouldn't be any more arrests in person who was shooting. it seems to have stemmed from a fight. neighbors are worried once the attention goes elsewhere that this neighborhood will be forgotten again. there have been street sweepers, police all over the place, and they hope this will continue long after this tragic incident. derrick ward, news4. there's news of an extraordinary confession in that investigation of the bombing in brussels. belgian prosecutors say not only do they have what they were calling

license. >> but d.c. schools stopped driver's ed in 2009. d.c. council transportation chairman mary cheh is raising a red flag on those costs. >> we'reec people without means that they can't get a driver's license. so we have it figure something out. >> reporter: both cheh and mayor bowser say they want to take a second look at the plan that could affect teens, immigrants, and other first-time applicants. >> of course we want people to be trained to drive properly but what will it mean for people of modest means? some of these courses can cost $1,000 or more. >> reporter: dmv officials say almost all states have education requirements. they told cheh in a letter the new requirements have been advertised and they're trying to ensure safe driving, particularly among teens. >> there are young people getting a driver's license. we want to know they know the laws of the road and they get some experience but certainly we want to do that in a way that's even-handed. >> reporter: no

weather down toward the south. this is all moving our way. now, we're not going to see severe weather here but what we will see is rain during the early morning rush. nothing until about 3:00 in the morning. 3:00 in the morning, the clouds are here and the rain starting to build in. notice by 7:00 a.m., heavy rain across parts of the area right during that key period of the morning rush. give yourself extra time and make sure you take the em brel la when you step out the front door. this is a quick moving system. behind this you see clearing so by 10:00 the rain is just down through the south and through northern maryland and the but we need the southerly winds to give us the warmer air. tomorrow the winds will be coming out of the northwest and north and that gives us the cooler air. that's why high temperatures tomorrow will struggle to get up to around 60 degrees. so the getting out forecast, 10:00 a.m., you still needed umbrella with some showers. 57 degrees, clearing by

calls, text messages, contacting my work, contacting co-workers. >> reporter: and when she went to the courts for help -- >> there is a crime of harassment and a crime of destruction of property but no provision in family law that allows me to issue a protective order for these crimes. >> reporter: she represented prince george's county which leads the state in domestic related death. >> destruction of property is another way to show that anything that you do i control, i own, i own you essentially. >> reporter: that was the case in the murder of 3-year-old laila w killed by her dead. frederick miller shot and injured two of his daughter's family members before kidnapping the little girl. he died in a shootout with police but had been harassing and destroying property at the mother's home for some time. her bill died in the house judiciary committee so she took it to the senate and it passed as an amendment to a protective order bill. it went back to the house and passed again but never made its way back to the senate. it's been sitting and waiting for final sign off for days. >> what it essentially does is make it to where it's sitting on someone's desk. the senate can't vote on these measures because they're technically still in the house. >> reporter: i had one senator say in 14 years he had not seen a delegate attach an amendment to a bill this way and it's a bill they had been working on for some time so it's a possibility this may not be the year for it but definitely a lot of frustration as folks try to deal with the violence in the county. reporting

in the 50s and rain, heavy rain right now around the pittsburgh area. more rain and severe weather down toward the south. this cold front will move through and by early tomorrow morning you will need the umbrellas an 7:00 and 8:00. 56 degrees. take the umbrella for sure. but then get rid of the umbrella because the sun comes out and we see a cool afternoon. upper 50s to around 60 degrees. so we will be about 10 to 15 degrees cooler tomorrow than we were today but still pretty nice. 59 for wednesday. that's a cool day. 61 on thursday with some sunshine. plenty of sunshine. so some nice afternoons here. look at the average high at 67. we'd like to get closer to average and we do that on friday with a high of 65 degrees. saturday a high of 65. look at the sunshine here from wednesday all the way to monday. nothing but abundant sunshine. the weekend, 65 on saturday. 70 on sunday. right now we're calling for the west weekend that we've seen since the second weekend in december, more than four months ago, five months ago and look at next monday. high temperature there around 77 degrees. so it does look like we'll see much nicer weather. not just this week but in the next week too. much more on this coming up tonight at 11:00. i'll be monitoring the radar for you and show you how long you will need that umbrella. >> it looks like one of the weekends where you're supposed to get a lot of week done. not. thanks, doug. coming up in sports, caps getting ready to go up against the flyers. jason is going to tell us about that coming up next. first, here is lester holt with a look at what's ahead on "nbc nightly news." we have a new nbc news/"wall street journal"/marist poll showing where the candidates stand eight days before the new york primary. we'll tell you why the nation's top health officials say the zika virus is scarier than first thought, and forgotten subscriptions are costing folks hundreds, even thousands. we'll tell this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> doug and jason played some basketball over the weekend and let's just suffice it to say things didn't go well. having said that, we expect better things when the caps -- was that a nice transition? >> thank you very much. >> i wasn't on my "a" game, i the capitals they'll be a lot better than i was. since 1993 21 teams have won the president's trophy. of those 21 teams just 7 have gone on to win the stanley cup. only seven times has the best regular season team gone on to win it all. the capitals may have the most complete roster in franchise history but nothing is guaranteed especially this time of year. always excitement around the stanley cup playoffs. the ice getting painted today. the caps open up thursday against the flyers. they'll have home ice advantage throughout these playoffs. they are not looking past the eight seeded flyers though. these two teams have a long history. they always play each other tough. philadelphia beat the caps twice during the regular season. throw out the records especially when these two get together. >> there are 16 great teams that make the playoffs and everything is reset b get nothing for granted. and they will be tough opponents, that's for sure. and we'll be ready. >> it doesn't matter, the opponent to us. it's focusing on what's made us successful and what's going to and that's just being ourselves, being the capitals and as long as we stick to that, that's our best chance. >> they're a great team. play us hard. one of those teams that it doesn't seem to matter where either of us are in the standings. it's always a hard game to play. that's what we look for in a good playoff series. >> here is the schedule for the caps and flyers. game one and two this thursday and saturday at the verizon center. then head to philadelphia or games three and four. that will take place on monday and wednesday next week. if necessary games five and six will be on the 22nd and 24th. the capitals will play every game seven on their home ice. let's talk some baseball now for a moment. the nationals start up a series with the braves tonight, and one thing manager dusty baker wants to please stop booing closer jonathan papelbon. yes, there was the incident with price harper last season, but harper has moved on from it and baker wants his closer to finally feel welcome. >> i hear people talking about papelbon, but, man, they need to love papelbon. he had 400 and something saves. that's a lot of saves. that's a tough job. that closing position is a very tough job. if you do the job, there's no problem. as soon as you blow one or whatever it is, then, you know, people forget about the other five or six that you saved or whatever. it's like being a defensive back, a corner back. you can play a great game the whole game and cover a guy and you give up one touchdown and that's what they're going to talk about and that's what they're going to remember. lets head up to fenway. home opener for the red sox hosting the orioles. final home opener for david ortiz who is retiring after this season. with two on bigpa through like he's done so often for the red sox. this off the green monster. dustin pedroia will come home to score. red sox go up 2-0 off the rbi single from ortiz. knotted up at 6. christopher davis, you know him as crush, worth every bit of that $160 million contract. that was a three-run shot, his thrd of the season. orioles win it 9-7. they're 6-0, first time they started the season 6-0 in franchise history. a huge week in the nba. the golden state warriors with a chance to break the '95-'96 bulls regular season mark. they tied the bulls' record at 72 wins by taking down the spurs yesterday. only the memphis grizzlies stand in their way of making history. that game comes your way on wednesday. warriors and grizzlies. >> that is one worth watching. >> i hope they >> i hope they do too. why shouldn't they. what a season. >> thanks for joining us. "nightly news" is next. we'll see you back here at 11:00. >> that's what i was getting ared to say. >> i thought you guys were going to keep talking. kathleen matthews: imagine paying 20% more for a cup of coffee just because you're a woman. so why does congress think it's ok that women get paid 20% less than a man for doing the same job? i'll fight for pay equity, to protect planned parenthood, choice for women, and expand paid and family leave. now some politicians will belittle this as a women's agenda. more proof that we just need more women in congress. i'm kathleen mathews and i approve this message. r good cells... to fight the bad guys. stronger is less pain... new hope... more fight. it's doing everything in your power... and everything in ours. stronger, is changing even faster than they do. because we don't just want your kids to grow up. we want them to grow up stronger. tonight, scarier than we thought. a chilling new warning from the cdc tonight, scarier than we thought. a chilling new warning from the cdc about the spread of the zika virus in america and an urgent plea to act now. commanding leads. our new nbc news poll, hillary clinton and donald trump surging in new york. what it means for trump's chances of avoiding a convention fight. road rage revenge or self-defense? the growing mystery as a former nfl star is gunned down after a car accident. tonight, piecing together a deadly confrontation. nbc news exclusive, the cia will refuse to use waterboarding even if ordered to by a future president. the agency's director hitting back at campaign rhetoric. and the price you pay for things you might not realize you're being billed for. how one company is helping people find forgotten money.
