60s, so show improvement. here are your weather headlines. for this morning near record cold. dulles is at 22. the record to break there is 20. we'll come very close, maybe even breaking that record. some rain chances are in the forecast for this upcoming week nothing major. i'll be showing you those on the seven day. overall after today, looking at a stretch of warmer temperatures thursday and friday. if you're hoping for mild air, i think you'll like those days as far as the temperatures are concerned. here is the temperature in your neighborhood right now. 21 in gaithersburg dulles at 22

through the early afternoon hours. by 9:00 a.m. we're at freezing 11:00 a.m. upper 30s. by 1:00 p.m. temperatures in the low 40s. the high today, 49 in washington 48 in frederick and 50 degrees in culpepper and plenty of sunshine. that's going to be a nice feature of today's weather. here is future weather starting off just after midnight tonight, 1:00 a.m. on monday. notice light showers around. we could see a little wet snow mixing in north of washington. it's not going to stick if you're out for some reason very late tonight. it would just be something you notice. this is tomorrow's morning commute. showers could be impacting that drive. but by the late morning and midday hours, the clouds start to break up and monday afternoon actually won't be bad with partly to mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions across the area. high temperature tomorrow of 64. but we'll start off in the low 40s, not as cold though. maybe you want a light jacket. by noon 53. 7:00 p.m. tomorrow

the chance of some rain on friday angie. >> amelia thank you so much. it doesn't want to get close to 70 just yet. it gets close. 6:14. next up we have "reporter's notebook," a look at stories affecting our community. >> back in 15 minutes with more of the morning's top stories. >> good morning. welcome to "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. we begin with training abc agents. governor mcauliffe signed an order to reform the alcoholic control board. this follow it is violent arrest of a black college student by abc officers. that arrest was of martese johnson. it came after he was denied entry at a bar near campus. bremante, bryant this is the second high pro vial incident involving a college student who encountered arksbc officers. how will the governor's executive order address the issue that the latest arrest has raised. >> the governor has asked for training for these officers talking about cultural diversity training to. i give the governor credit he's moving quickly and forcefully. you don't see a lot of pushback on this. i think in general people support this. it makes abc look a little like they were kind of cowboys out there on their own because what you hear from the uva president is they were supposed to be going after the bar owners selling to underage drinkers not the drinkers. who is overseeing abc and were they acting independently? that's part of the issue here. >> joy jefferson nuri your thoughts about this arrest and what's going on with the abc officers? >> i think the governor's quick tone should set a tone for across the country. this sets a tone for let's investigate and let's retrain the entire force because the force that was used on mr. johnson truly was not necessary as we looked at the bigger picture. his ability to step in immediately, do this as an executive order i think sets a great tone for moving forward with continuing controversy with police. >> dave mcconnell, are you surprised the order is more expansive expansive? >> no. i think he looked at a problem. why are the abc folks used in this capacity? one, that they don't have the training that's a red flag. then there's the whole question of with all of the things that they have at uva, the campus police -- yes, they can't go off campus but there are regular police officers and regular deterrents and that kind of thing in all kinds of college areas where they go to bars and get loaded or something like that. they don't deal with it with the abc people swooping in. you have to raise a question about that too, i think. >> what's important here too, pat, we have two cases in the last couple years, one was recently martese johnson, young black college student, a male. but the one prior to that was a young white female college student at uva where abc pulled a gun on her in the parking lot. in some ways it gives -- i wouldn't say clearance because it doesn't make it seem so much as a racial issue and mcauliffe could be more forceful without maybe the issue of race coming up even though it still may be a factor in johnson's case. >> more uva fallout, advocates for sexual assault survivors are worried developments in the alleged uva rape case could hurt their cause. police say there is no evidence that the gang rape reported by "rolling stone" magazine ever happened. the alleged victim is not cooperating. joia while we don't know what happened at uva, we know rape is a serious crime on college campuses all across the country. do you think this case will change the way colleges and universities address the problem? >> yes, i think it hurts. i think this case was so high profile in what happened in a very big, very famous campus in the united states and "rolling stone" writing an article and standing behind the story, i think it does hurt. i think rape victims are afraid to come forward. young victims are even more afraid to come forward. this does really hurt. what's really nice is once again the governor of virginia and the campus police and the city police of charlottesville say we don't know what happened but something happened. and so they are, and the president of uva, they are redoubling their efforts to make sure girls on campus are addressed and this issue continues to be addressed even though this story might be discredited. >> the point is even though what happened is clouded, it's led to an extraordinary discussion nationwide and re-evaluation and a lot of soul searching. a lot of people think that was good. something wasn't great. something perhaps bad happened, not leveling exactly the authorities, the people that wrote the article. that wasn't quite accurate. the fact is it spurred a conversation we need to have. >> i think in terms of getting people to talk about the issue, i think that's always a good thing. i think the president i think in dealing with other issues like this knows she has to come to the fore quicker. i would take a side point here too. i think for journalism and "rolling stone" this is also a time to step back and do a review. they're still doing a review to find out how the story got to the point. as journalists, the sensitivity and time you need to take. when you bring out these points they have to be factual and you have support them. >> blame the tablets at d.c. fire and ems. new computers are being delayed for recent delays in deploying ambulances and paramedics. first responders aren't properly trained to use the tablets and sometimes they lose their connections to the 911 dispatchers which can never be good. >> never be good. it can never be good. i want to give the city a little credit for at least trying new technology. there's always been a complaint in d.c. that ambulances and fire equipment don't get there fast enough. this is not a new outcome. i want to give the city credit for trying it. if training is the issue and we know the training and technology eastern those of us who get cell phones you have to sit down and get new training. if the answer is training why wasn't that part of the initial funding and activities. >> good question. dave? >> that's right. why weren't they trained better. this goes back to the original in this case in this discussion certainly, to what happened in the l'enfant plaza subway. first responders weren't alerted, couldn't communicate, had a difficult time responding. now we're finding the various reasons why. i agree with you, why shouldn't there have been training from the get-go? it's ot sad example a lot of critics would say of the bureaucracy of the city especially with metro. >> i think we've all had issues with wi-fi and wi-fi going out every day. i would say you may want to take a look at using wi-fi. it's nice to have modern technology. if you are counting on your wi-fi working and to get to someone in a serious condition and you can't keep up with where the ambulances are going because wi-fi goes out, then i would almost suggest we have to figure a way to use something else maybe other than wi-fi. >> or a backup system. >> i think they're talking about that. also here too, the union, they're almost in a position -- they basically have said we told you so. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. welcome back. economic boost in northeast. mayor becauser and other city officials broke ground at the new capital gateway marketplace in the 5800 block of east capitol street. it will bring a walmart super center along with more than 300 affordable housing units to an area sort of left out of the city's economic revival renaissance, if you will. joia a taste of things to come in far northeast you think? >> i sit on the fence on this one because i believe -- i'm so happy for the affordable housing issue, but i want to know what affordable is. i'm very happy that people in that community are going to be able to buy things more reasonably priced as walmart is able to do it. but walmart's wachblgs and the way you hire people and you don't get a 40-hour week a lot of people who have these jobs still have to depend on the city for support, still get a welfare check, still get food stamps. walmart is a double-edged southward for me. >> walmart has turned out not to be the big bad bogeyman neighbor but it has supporters. >> there is the question overall about walmart. those questions have been raised. city is very dismissive. mayor gray was going to make them stand up for a high minimum wage thing and that delayed certainly the movement of walmart in the city. and so we'll just have to see how it works out. if they continue to be a good neighbor people will probably think it's a good thing. if there are more problems we'll wish some other store perhaps had come. >> bremante a lot of folks in northeast are excited about that. >> that and affordable housing. mayor bowser made that a point of her campaign. i think the question is how affordable wil housing be. in maryland a three-judge panel of the u.s. circuit court of appeals is considering a challenge to the law that bans possession or sale of certain assault weapons and magazines. opponents of the ban say it violates the second amendment. proponents say it saves lives. no word on when the appeals court will make a decision. what if the court overturns the ban joia? >> if the court overturns the ban, it bodes poorly for people who are anti guns or gun control in maryland. maryland is a very lab ral state and supports gun control. if assault weapons is overturned this particular assault weapon and they can have a magazine bigger than the law sets now, i think it sets up for the gun rights people to start chipping away at maryland's gun ban laws. >> maryland has had pretty much of a free ride on this issue. we've all been focused on the district and other places where they have reversed and eased so-called gun laws. it's going to be interesting. it's a huge issue. if they lose it will be appealed. this looks like something heading for the supreme court. we already know the supreme court's records on gun rights. >> just the fact that it's being heard is a big issue. the gun advocates are only going after two of the provisions. one the .45 assault weapons and the magazines. now the proponents would say -- opponents of this are saying in the sandy hook case because the shooter could only get off ten rounds instead of 30 some lives may have been saved. that's a strong point to be made. >> how do you have an assault weapon in your home to protect your home? >> they also use those weapons to hunt -- >> deer. >> target practice. >> just quickly, again going back to maryland and the culture there, this is that seems to be anti-gun. now we're going to see how strong that particular feeling really is. >> where is walter fauntroy. it's a burning question in washington as friends raise money to save his family's home from foreclosure. joia what are are your thoughts? 28 years old, deep roots in d.c. a lot of people care about him. >> i consider him a friend. the very first person i ever interviewed was walter fauntroy. i am concerned for his safety right now. i know there's a lot of money problems and a lot of issues that we can all discuss about why he's coming back. i'm actually concerned about his ability to understand what's going on and his ability to move from here to here. i have no concrete evidence that something is wrong, but i know last conversations with him, things were slowing down like in anybody who is 75 years old, 80 years old the last time i saw him. i am concerned about him. i spoke yesterday with a family member of his. their concern is that the media spanting him some level of criminal. we don't want that to happen. >> an icon of the civil rights movement. it was my privilege to cover him. an icon in the fight against south african apartheid. he was very much a man of action and very much part of the issue. it's very sad the way things have turned around. >> so many things nationally going on that walter fauntroy should be part of. folks are seeing he's missing that. today's point, he's iconic not only locally but nationally. i think that's where the concern is. just as a person of prominence and a person who has made a difference. >> thank you all. thank you for being with us. that's "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us. "news 4 today" continues. right now traffic moving again on the southbound lanes of the beltway in prince george's county. drivers are getting by on two lanes. earlier all lanes were shut down. maryland state police are looking into a crash that happened around 4:00 this morning on the inner loop before central avenue. no word on any injuries. good morning and welcome to "news 4 today"." i'm adam tuss. >> today is sunday march 29. we want to storm with storm team 4 meteorologist amelia segal in for chuck bell. amelia looks like our sunday is starting off cold but clear. >> yes, you're exactly right, angie. the good news plenty of sunshine throughout the entire day today. wall to wall sunshine. 28 degrees. the winds aren't too much of an issue, only five to ten miles an hour. even when you factor in winds like that it makes you feel like it's about 19 degrees outside. heading out this morning, you definitely want to grab the warm jacket. we are looking at clear skies over the district. for the most part we're going to remain clear for the entire day today. here is your morning planner. by 8:00 a.m. we're only around 30 cold degrees. by 10:00 a.m. a temperature of 34. still cool at noon with a temperature of 39. yesterday we didn't leave the 30s. today we do a little warmer. i'll let you know by how much coming up. a nova scotia airport is closed right now and more than two dozen people are recovering after a plane skidded off the runway during landing. there were 138 people on the air canada flight when it touched down. right now we're not sure exactly what caused

on outstanding warrants in arlington and d.c. police say two stabbings in montgomery county are related. one may have been revenge for the other. the first stabbing happened thursday night on south

in switzerland trying to come up with a framework ahead of tuesday's deadline. he's been meeting with different heads of state for days. and there's still disagreement over research and sanctions relief. iran's foreign minister says both sides must show more flexibility. if an agreement is reached, it would last a minimum of ten years. new questions being raised about congress -- in congress about hillary clinton's e-mails and the timing of her decision to delete them. nbc's kristen welker has how this latest scanned ld could affect clinton's potential presidential run. >> reporter: new revelations about hillary clinton's e-mails this weekend from the congressman who heads the special investigation into the attack against the u.s. consulate in benghazi. congressman tray dowdy says clinton deleted all of her personal e-mails writing in a statement we learned from her attorney secretary clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all e-mails from her personal server. >> we don't get to grade our own papers in life. she had a very unique arrangement with herself as it relates to public records. >> reporter: clinton has already turned over 55,000 pages of e-mails at the request of the state department which wanted to update its records. gowdy noted clinton personaled her personal server after the request was made. friday a spokesperson for clinton said turning over those e-mails isn't keeping with the letter of the law writing in a statement, secretary clinton has already turned her work e-mails over to the state department. clinton's use of the private e-mail account has complicated the rollout of her expect 20d 16 presidential run. earlier this week clinton tried to downplay the controversy. >> no more secrecy. no more zone of privacy. after all, what good did that do me? >> reporter: the question now, will the e-mail flak resonate with voters into 2016? >> unfortunately for hillary clinton she's created a situation where peculiars can just keep raising questions about e-mails she deleted unless and until it starts back firing? >> that was kristen welker reporting. a bike ride to remember the lives of 20 precious children killed inside their school is coming to washington. advocates for tougher gun control are making their third annual ride from newtown, connecticut, to d.c. that group calls itself team 26. the 400-mile ride will take four days. the group wants universal background checks and a ban on high capacity magazines. in december of 2012 20 children and six adults were killed in a shooth at sandy

now we can all choose amazing sleep only at a sleep number store. right now, you can save $600 on the number one-rated i8 bed. know better sleep with sleep number. the middle east is in turmoil. the u.s. is negotiating a nuclear deal with iran. >> joining us to talk about all this is moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. chuck, the u.s. is in a real tough spot here. if we wanted to explain all sides of it we would be here all day pretty much. >> it would take hours. yes, on one hand working with iran -- on the same side of the fight in iraq in dealing with isis that iran is on there's always all these denials, not working with iran. they just have similar interests. in yemen clearly we're working with saudi arabia. they're working and they believe iran is backing the hewittities there that is creating the civil war. all this with the nuclear deal in the background makes it i think that much harder for the president to if he gets a deal and we're within hours. we'll get the latest live from switzerland finding out what's going on there. if they're going to get a deal how is he going to sell it? at the same time you're making iran stronger potentially by giving them a deal at the same time they seem to be trying to expand their sphere of influence. if you make them stronger does that mean you do even more? >> it's kind of confusing just to follow who is in charge in the middle east right now. want to talk about harry reid. he's announced he won't seek re-election. what does that do for the political stand scape? >> it's a big deal and i'm not that surprised if a 75-year-old senator says i don't think i want to be in the senate. did he want to make the decision did he want to be in the senate in 1922. he had that injury and i think he says it's not health reasons that he's retiring, but you can't help but wonder. i think you will have a change in tone. chuck shuker, thechumer is a deal maker a pragmatist. on the other hand never afraid of a camera. you'll see a senate leader more out front and at the same time someone who will always probably go -- some democrats might complain too much but always looking for a way to cut a deal. >> when we talk about just how this changes the political election process, we talk about a hotly contested state, a senate race now in nevada which is also a swing state. so leading up to the presidential election -- >> what's funny is i think it deescalates how much money gets thrown in. if harry reid had run, i think he would have been the favorite. you would have had tons of national money thrown in there. on the right, go get harry reid. with him gone you're absolutely right. the race will be just as competitive. in an odd way, less nationalized just because of the lack of presence of harry reid. >> he even said it was unfair for him to soak up all the money. >> one thing we've learned presidential swing states and senate races, the party that carries it for temperatural usually wins the senate race too. that's going to have an impact. >> are you going to get into the germanwings thing? >> we are. we'll have a little bit on the whole, how do you trackmen tall health of these pilots. >> a lot of big conversations coming up. >> a preview of the new ted kennedy senate institute. real political junkies will want to see that. >> real nerd stuff. >> a little bit. >> you can see "meet the press" right here on news 4 after "news 4 today." if one of your children plays contact sports we know the risk of a concussion and how scary it can be. >> absolutely. the best way to treat one is identifying it fast. nbc's peter alexander tells us about the new test to do just that used at every level of the game. >> reporter: when players collide, the impact can be just as severe as a 25 mile-an-hour car crash, leaving an athlete dazed or dizzy or worse. university suffered this hit. >> everything was spinning things were blurry saw stars. >> reporter: crucial to preventing more serious and long-term injuries is quickly and accurately assessing an athlete for a concussion right there on the spot and getting them out of the game. >> visual symptoms are incredibly common. patients complain of toto sensitivity, blurred vision double vision and vertigo. >> researchers found this simple and inexpensive vision test where you're timed reading a jumble of numbers, krektly assessed concussions in 75% of concussions. >> how long should it take. >> 37 seconds. >> after a concussion 42 to 45 seconds. >> reporter: when combined with balance and thinking tests like what year is it 97% accurate. the test could be a valuable tool especially in youth sports where doctors are rarely on the sidelines. the university of delaware seeing nearly 40 concussions a year. soccer standout emily martin says it's always in the back of her mind. >> when you watch a teammate go down after buchling heads. >> that's your first thought. >> concussion. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: the
