A federal judge has ruled it unconstitutional news 4s derrick ward tells us what that mes. Reporter in t background you see the federal court for the district comb and this decision comes down from the federal courts, d. C. s ban on carrying guns in public is unconstitutionad that the ban cannot be enforced and that the city has to come up with a licensing sche the public to carry weapons. Now this decision builds upon the case, a previous decision that said that you could own guns in the home and we talked to one outoftowner, a person from new york, and got their opinion on what it would be like to be in a city where guns are legally carriedous on the streets. I dont t idea. Im scared of guns. I think only bad things can happen when you have a gun. People get hurt. You know, inside your own house its one thing. Outside in public a lot of stuff could happen. Reporter is a victory for certain interpretations of the second amendment. Its unclear whether the city will appealco decision and how the details will work out, whether t applies to handguns, long guns or applies to out of towners.

We are following several hot topics. Joining is moderator of meet the pre d gregory this morning. Good morning. The latest hamas proposing a 24hour ceasefire. We understand you spoke with israi prime mierjam netanyahu this morning. Yeah. His position was much more skeptical saying israel had abided by ceasefires, that hamas had not. The reality is that you have fighting thats starting back up, there may be lulls, there may be certain pauses, but i dont think theres anything and any reason to believe theres a ceasefire that lasting that can take hold. Not yet. Not under these circumstances. Secretary of sta is working on it, a lot of people are working on it but this is still a grim time. I wa to stay on this topic for a second. It is fascinating and it just seems to me, as someone who reads about this and sees this, its so deep rooted that how do you solve the issue . Well theres lot of deep rooted problems. In this case israel is looking to degrade hamas and its ability to fire rockets and to construct underground tunnels. I think and i asked prime netanyahu is there a military solution and he doesnt really answer that question. The shorter term way to look at it, its a degradation. How do you buy yourself more time, how do you sort of contain this threat. From hamas point of view, hamas is not the palestinian authority, which is more moderate. Hamas wants to destroy israel, is a terrorist organization, and does lead gazaens and still enjoys support there. Youve got a real fracture in palestinian lead tha makes it difficult to get back to anything resembling a longer term solution. Lets also talk about immigration. President am wi Central American leaders on friday, but Congress Still h acted. Whats next there . I dont see congress acting. Theres a move to change a law that would allow the government to deport women, children, families who are coming from Central American countries like you can with mexicans who are coming. But additional money the administratiowants, they are unlikely to get, and, you know, you have a very fundamental question, what do you do with so many of the children who have come . Is there a humanitarian way to deal with them or do they need to be sent back home on a perilous journey. Thank yo david. You bet. Take care. See meet the press with david every sunday right here on nbc 4 after news 4 today. Weve got a little uncertainty wit the weather around here. This is a weather alert day and that means chuck is o red alert today. Absolutely right. David was wanting to know if he could play tennis today and a lot of people who have outdoor plans and so yes, you can squeak it in, late morning into early afternoon. Theres not going to be much of a rain threat for a couple hours but if you have stuff to do later on, the later you go into the day, the higher your chances are that youre going to have to deal with strong to severe thunderstorms. Jusso of keep that in mind. Early afternoon activity is not a problem. Late afternoon and evening could be a whole other story. Outside, from our tower, looking out to the south, its, indeed, a cloudy start outside this morning. Youre looking down towards arlington and rossland, beautiful morni as lonas you like the clouds. Not a bad morning for doing an Early Morning run. Its awfully steamy out there, temperatures in mid to upper 70s with an abundance of humidity. Our morning showers are coming to an end, raining a little in southern maryland. But severe storms are quite possible after 3 00, 4 00, 5 00 time frame right no is 76 degrees in washington. 76 humidity an a light south breeze at 8 Miles Per Hour and temperatures alr in the upper 70s on the eastern shore, 77 in baltimore and easton, 76 in martingsburg, 79 degrees already in frederick, maryland. Its plenty warm outside. The timing for Storm Chances later on today, a little earlier out to the west along the Shenandoah Valley and interstate 81. Initiation of storms there could be 3 00 to 6 00. Initiation of storms 6 00 to about 9 00 in and around town and 9 00 to around midnight or so down into southern maryland. Storms will be arriving from the west. Showers rig now, really just light rain, charles county, st. Marys county, few sprinkles near fredericksburg and the northern neck. Those about going to bother anybody. No severe wer with any of this. Light rain showers this morning. The yellow shaded area is the slight risk area from the Storm Prediction Center and the red area, the bulls eye, thats a significant thrt of Severe Weather in U West Virginia and even the mountain empire of far southwestern virginia. That cluster will stay away from us but already these storms up here near indianapolis, thats another wave in the atmosphere. The pace its g its about 11 hours from now, that puts it into the d. C. Metro about 8 00 to 10 00 thisve thats theeaha timg r e te on parts of the afternoon in this evening. So your Severe Weather chances today, all these numbers are unusually high for this time of the year. 10 chance of a Tornado Warning today, 35 chance that well have damaging winds somewhere in the area this afternoon. So heres the way the computer is handling it. By 2 30, not much going on, breaks of sunsne coming through and a spot shower or two. By 3 00, 4 00, 5 00, couple thunderstormma fired up along and into the west of the blue ridge. Here comes the ripple from indianapolis to columbus, ohio, by 5 00 or 6 00 and that ripple will go along the masondixon line. The trick is if the computer is off by even a hundred miles the ripple comes over the d. C. Metro area. Thats why have to remain on guard this afternoon. Here we are at 9 30, big thunderstorms, w maryland, possibility of big thunderstorms northern sides of the d. C. Metro area, and then by 10 00, 11 00, the whole area comes through the metro. This needs to be watched super carefully. Storm team 4 is on alert for the remainder of the day today. Amelia will be in here this afternoon, veronica on standby, tom is ready to come in if need be. Were all coming in. All hands on deck. Tom will be here about 1 30 in the morning tromorning. Hes off the hook for this afternoon. I willet in about 3 00 tomorrow morning go from there. I didnt know you were making everyones schedule. Attention everyone at home. I think you all just ought to sleep here. Well thats another story. Well cross that bridge when we need to. Hopefully we wont need to do that. Lets hope. Thank you, chuck. College students are helping a boy with a bionic arm. See how it has changed his life. Thats ahead.
