unusual call. a fire truck inside the fire station in springfield somehow caught fire. they say it was parked inside the station at the time. now the fire alarm went off around 12:30 this morning. the deputy fire chief tells us this is not impacting their service. >> it's under investigation right now. we believe it could be related to the vehicle itself. we're going to still provide service to this community, even though one apparatus today will be out of service. >> and thankfully no one was injured in that fire. and right now, thousands of bicyclists are getting ready to bike through the nation's capital. the d.c. bike ride will navigate 20 miles going to the national mall and into virginia and back. amy cho, what a treat to have her here with us. joining us live, dark and early, at

there's actually a really great initiative at the finish line with vdot today showing people thousand sort of handle, you know, riding your bike in the city amongst cars. for drivers and for cyclists. >> absolutely very important cause. we will have more live coverage coming up later this morning. back to you guys. >> exciting day here for that for sure. and developing right now, north carolina has done it again, fired it's seventh ballistic missile test around 5:30 in the morning their time. threw for about 30 minutes before landing in the sea of japan. president trump was briefed on all of this. his response was quote that north korea has been a flaan and in another issue that's boiling up here in washington, this is one of the most powerful job openings in the u.s. that's expanding. sourcing telling nbc news the department of justice is interviewing eight contenders for the fbi post. chris malone explains how soon a decision may be made. >> reporter: after a tumultuous week following the firing firing of fbi director james comey, president trump left washington to find a friendly crowd. >> congratulations to the class of 2017. >> reporter: graduates at liberty university, the nation's largest evangelical christian college did trump's first commencement address. while he did not directly address them, he took aim at critics in his address. >> nothing is easier or more pathetic than being in a critic. because there are people that can't get the job done. >> reporter: as attorney general jeff sessions met with several candidates in bah who could replace comey as head of the fbi. several were spot the arriving for interviews at the justice department saturday. trump could pick comey's successor next fridayed. >> i think the process is going to be difficult. because almost all of them are very well known. they've been vetted over their lifetime essentially, but very well known. highly respected. really talented people. and that's what we want for the fbi. >> reporter: president set off a fire storm by asking comey in the midst of an fbi investigation into the possible collusion with the russian government. friday trumped raised the stakes suggesting on twitter he recorded conversations with comey. >> the president has nothing further to add on that. >> reporter: congressional democrats have demanded the white house reveal whether such tames exist and to turn them over to congress if they do. chris malone, nbc news. >> and this tweet showing former much different setting. he and his wife spent last night at national theater watching the torn broadway musical. you can see comey right there -- he's not hard to pick out at 6'8". according to the "new york times," comey bought tickets a while back and did not want to

than yesterday. leave that umbrella at home why don't you. >> good. >> when you visit mom today, enjoy the sunshine. how soon all of those temperatures though are gng >> beautiful. of providing reliable energy and that'll never change. what is changing, is our name to dominion energy. it's a reflection of our commitment to energy innovation and renewable sources like solar, wind... and cleaner energy like natural gas. and we'll continue to innovate, upgrade technology, protect our environment and serve our communities. dominion energy. more than a new name, a new way of seeing energy. welcome back, united airlines says it's taking measures to protect the locked cockpit doors. door access information for the cockpit may have been made public. united is not saying how that information got out, but says it was not a breach, like a hack. the airline says it's taking security steps to make sure customers and the crew stay safe. all right. time right now is 6:11, it's hard to get used to the sun coming up this early. and we're looking outside and my goodness, it's up. >> this morning, we both during commercial break couldn't help but admire it. it already is a gorgeous morning, tom, perfect for moms. >> it really is, just for you. >> oh wow. happy mother's day. >> thank you. >> happy mother's day to all the moms. >> we are starting off with but we are seeing a gorgeous sunrise under way. there's a live view from the storm team 4 tower camera. looking across northeast washington in the foreground. you can see rock creek park and the clouds are closing in from the west and producing a few sprinkles here in montgomery county. you can see it's quickly breaking up and passing on through here. just a few minutes or so, then it's all going to be gone. temperatures are rather cool. we're hovering in the 40s. just about everywhere. reagan national now at 47 degrees. for the d.c. bike ride, by 8:00, partly cloudy, we'll be in the mid-50s. then by 10:00, it'll be in the mid-60s. then as we get up to noontime, ought to be hitting the low 70s, good morning, by noon we can winds will pick up. gusts during the afternoon to perhaps as high as 30 miles an hour. which may affect the game at nats park. the first of a double header. they're going to make up the game from friday. they play the phillies at 1:35 and by 1:00, we'll be in the mid-70s there during the degrees with those breezes kicking up. and then late afternoon, still hovering in the upper 70s, second game, starts this evening, and will be mostly clear for that. then by dawn on monday, down into the low 50s. storm team 4 outlook, beautiful day into the mid-70s. then on tuesday, the upper 70s with morning lows in the 50s, but then here comes the heat on wednesday and thursday. both days up near 90 degrees. but not too humid. then it does get a bit cooler, but still warmer than average toward the end of the weekend. next weekend right now is looking dry. in fact, we may not see our next chance of any rain until way out there on day ten. that would be that following tuesday with a few showers around. so a dry pattern and midweek east on the way. that's the way it looks. >> wow. all right. thank you, tom. we have reporters notebook, that's up next. >> back in 15 minutes with m good morning, i'm pat lawson news. the whirlwind created by the james comey termination is a big national story that involves a lot of local players. and has a lot of local leaders weighing in. the memo outlining the rational was written by maryland's former u.s. attorney, ron rosenstien. tom and david are with us this morning. tom is a central player because of that memo. and as vice chair of the senate intelligence committee, we've got mark warner weighing in and now asking him to appear before the court. >> he is a key player here. you know, he had a sterling reputation and had a sterling reputation from his time as being appointed u.s. attorney by george bush in 2005. president obama reappointed him. he's got a great reputation. but as we were goinged into weekend and he wrote the memo that said all the things that comey had mishandled as fbi director, r she fired him, there was a concern that rosenstien was taking the heat for what the president did and he threatened to resign if everyone tried to blame him inside the white house. this is going to unfold for some time. we do have -- bottom line, we are the center of this political storm given the people you just named and others. >> and there are other people. tim cain, barbara from virginia -- >> mark warner. he's the one calling this now to happen on tuesday. wants james comey to appear in front of the senate intelligence committee. he calls this outrageous, kaine echoing that statement. kaine says this is an attempt to thwart, block, and undermine the investigation into russia. he's coming out in the front of it. br bra kind of has to navigate this interesting path. look at her district as a whole. she's got some of the washington suburbs, and then it pushes tout more conservative areas along west virginia. some of those more conservative counties. through the campaign we saw her against certain things that trump said and then trying to find that common ground. here though, she's coming down and saying that she is against the handling. she questions the timing and overall, the motive behind. >> and for people who don't know barbara, she is a republican in in northern virginia suburbs to replace frank wolf. she's trying to lead a moderate conservative life. she's called for a special investigation, special investigator to look into all of this fbi stuff and the russian probe. >> meanwhile in maryland we've heard from ben carson on the foreign relation committee, but also chris van hollen, big supporter of rod rosenstien. >> i don't doubt that they remain big supporters of rod rosenstien. i think they're worried about him. he's caught up in the whirlwind which is the trump white house. van hollen has a role not only at the senator for maryland, but leading the democratic campaign effort to take back the senate in 2018. so on the on the other hand, this could provide extraordinary to thor for the democrats going into political 2018. who's to blame for the long delays and the extra costs to bill build the silver springs transit center? the answer to that question. the 30 day trial will determine whether folder pratt the general contractors are at fault or whether montgomery county are to blame for this. defective construction repairs, frustrated writers, for a while, looked like the center was not going to happen. what are the arguments now in the trial? >> this is a huge embarrassment, not just to the companies that built it in five years and $50 million overbudget. this is a huge embarrassment to all the elected officials of maryland who were supposed to oversee this project. so in metro, it's an embarrassment to everyone involved. i thought they would never open. i think adam nearly moved in there from channel 4 news so he could just report -- >> he when they finally opened it, everyone said well, we've got all the that extra money, we're going to have suits. now we're seeing the aftermath. it was a mess building the thing. we're going to see a legal mess trying to sort out who owes who for what wasn't done properly. >> chris covered the opening statements here in the court hearing that as you said is going to linger for 30 days. and he talked to riders who are simply saying look, we're the ones really losing out. we had to wait five years as we mentioned, five years way overbudget. now what's interesting is what they're labeling this, monument inefficiency is what they're calling it now. interesting to see where it goes. >> the contractors parsens had called this overblown and simply incorrect. the lawsuits that the metro and montgomery have filed against them. and this will not be the only suit. this is the first of what could be a series of suits. and the nice thing about it is, at least is the transit center is operating now and people are using . people are finally able to use it. so you've got a lot of legal wrangling going on. they finally have a functioning -- >> yes, but we are talking about millions and millions and millions of dollars in lawyers that i talked to handle these things say they probably will come to some agreement. >> we should mention because of that, there's also a countersuit for $10 million from the contractor towards the county metro. >> other suits. >> okay. let's cross the d.c. line. effective last monday, drivers have to obey the red top meter rules. if you park at one of those meters and you don't display a disabled placard, you'll get fined $250. tell me, why did d.c. finally put teeth in the law and start enforcing this? >> well, it's important to note that in enforcement, this new policy of enforcing these red top meeters is for the central business district. when the city initially tried to do this with red top meters, they put a law around the city, it was ayachtic, wasn't enforced, people know what to do. fewrs we're just not going to enforce the meters. anyone could park there. finally after looking over the regulations, rewriting them, they said look, we've got to have parking. parking downtown is horrific. transit officials tell us that 25% of the people who are driving around washington downtown. >> reporter: yeah. >> are just looking for a place to park. they're not going anywhere, they're circling. if you fix some of those, i'm a big critic of the failure to enforce parking. mat i your heard, i won't repeat it here, but this will at least finally give people with disabilities a chance to park in some of the most crowded parts of our city. >> you know it's interesting, when i moved back here four and a half years ago to work to our city and moving back home for me, for those folks who live in virginia and outside in maryland coming into d.c. is a stretch. tom sherwood, first person who told me, by the way, those redtop meters, you're allowed to park, but warned me -- >> gave you a caveat. >> there's an image perception. if somebody else needs it, you have to give it to that >> so it's a voluntary system. now, yes, if you want to park there, you can park there, you could, but you had to recognize that you were taking space that should be reserved for people with disabilities. and now, you shouldn't park there because it's a $250 fine. >> and 350 meters, is that right? >> 350 meters. there are some meters still around town, but they're not the ones who are going to be aggressively enforced. >> any plan on the public works department's part to expand the, you know, parking offerings around the city? is there anything they can do about that? >> yes. on street parking. the truck drivers have a horrible time. another big complaint is the truck drivers who double park because they complain, well we don't have enough loading zones. so this is a growing city. we're going to get up to 900,000 people by 2030. we have to accommodate. and we also have it -- the city is trying to teach people, spot bringing your car. use metro. metro d so it's a real -- it's one of the biggest issues in our region, but it's maryland and virginia. manage the traffic of a growing region. this region is growing. and we cannot accommodate the traffic we have whether it's 66 or new york avenue or any of those places. that's a big issue for the entire region. >> all right. got to take a break. we'll be right back. ♪ somewhere, inside each of us, there's a pro. ♪ ♪ but once you've found it, you'll find you can do anything. ♪ the mayor is holding off on a ban to ban backyard chicken. a proposal to stop people from keeping chickens in their yards. also to make people get licenses for their cats. all right. this was your story. there was a big flap about it. who was doing the flapping? >> well people who have backyard chickens. there aren't a lot, but they're backyard? >> holding the chicken. >> that's a great picture. >> i think it still is in the twitter verse. >> yeah. >> seriously, there are people who like chickens. i held one this week and the feathers were really soft. i thought they'd be scratchy. >> they're beautiful. i guess that's a matter of opinion. >> is this really about the chickens? >> here's how it started and ended. the health department was in the budget for 2018 was concerned that there is a growing number of people who have chickens at home in their backyards. and they could be the source of sal in a mel la and unsafe conditions. in addition, any of the chicken waste is run off and gets into the sewers, the rivers. so the health department says, let's clarify that. in addition they said, let's also require people to register their cats. just like you have to register your dog and get a dog tag. the health department said look, we have all these cats, many of ferrell, they reproduce, ferrell cats in the city are a health issue for the city. so that was the good intention. the bad intention was, they just put it in the mayor's budget, the health department put it on to the mayor's budget and when people heard about it as you said, feathers flew, this is not that bad of a deal. seen, after a couple of weeks of fighting over it, the mayor this passed week pulled it back and said more community meetings and have new regulations about what you have to do, but outright ban on chickens is toast. >> all right. much more somber issue now. tomorrow is the official start of national police week. all last week, we here at news 4 covered tributes to local police officers. some are among the 394 whose names have now been added to the national law enforcement officer's memorial in washington. david, this has been an emotional week for many in our area. talk about some of those who have been >> we know five in the area or the greater area you had officer ashley out of prince william county, prince george's county, corp. yal snuck, arlington p.d. and two deputies up in hartford county. and this is a moment for really these communities so to all come together. we've seen it in a somber tribute and tom did a piece as you can refer to the memorial's played out. what's interesting is to see who is able to show up. and ashley's case, her mom just couldn't do it. i mean, it's still too emotional. it's been more than a year since she was killed in the line of duty. and her aunt and uncle were there and it was a moment to speak with the family. but it shows that there are still so many raw emotions that surface and every family member takes a different life. >> police week for many years was a time where police officers from around the country all came to the district and kind of forget they were police officers. they parked illegally, they did unauthorized motorcades through town. they got drunk at region si on capitol hill and slid down the banisters. they embarrassed themselves. kathy linear started writing a letter around the country saying look, we are police officers, we welcome you, we want you to come. and we don't want you to embarrass either yourself or violate our laws. i can tell you this week, this year, the new police chief didn't write the letter because people have started to behave. partly because they're here for the somber reason to recognize people who dialled in the line of duty, but also because they recognize that if they come to town like frat boys, they leave a reputation they don't really want. >> it's different climate too when it comes to the attention between the police and the communities to have wlunch an officer who says it seems like an issue in the past year. they're lingering and surfacing within the police community. and they feel that. they're aware that. >> the officers who misbehaved, it's always a small group of them, but a small group represents the big bodi antonin scalia's son, right? father paul scalia, what did you learn about his father that most people don't know? >> this is somebody whom aye never father paul scalia for most of my life. and yet, despite having known him and the par rish life and my growing up in fairfax county and going to a catholic school in the area, i never really much asked about his dad. i was always kind of respect of knowing his dad's in a high profile position and father scalia leads a very different life. and yet it was interesting to see him reflect on the personal moments of growing up, the dinner table with being one of nine kids and seeing how the dynamics are playing around. >> he was 15 when his father went on the supreme court in '86. can you imagine what that would be? >> and what's interesting, i asked about that. he was a junior in high school at langley. and he said the court didn't hold the high profile and public persona that it has today. he didn't feel like they were as much the focus of the attention as it since has become. interesting just to hear his reflections on the man he didn't know as justice scalia, but as dad. >> also, he talked to you about the diverse population that is now in arlington, it's not just, you know, suburbs have changed and i just folks anymore. >> within the diocese, it is interesting, this is something the diocese is having to make a real focus on and that is reaching out to the other communities. latino communities, of course along the route, it is incredibly diverse. and the dynasty is making an exception. >> we're almost out of time. >> nothing may be lost. >> he's going to love you for that. >> copy. >> well, i will hook you up with a copy. i'm going to pay for it. >> that nothing may be lost. >> that nothing may be lost. thank you. >> thank you. and thank you, that's reporter's notebook. news 4 today continues. time right now, 6:29 on this sunday morning. here's what's going on. this was the scene at the fire station in springfield, virginia, early this morning after a fire truck caught on fire. it took dozens of firefighters to put the blaze out. we're told service should not be affected. and no one was hurt. no word on how it all started. >> well you might see more bikes than cars on some roads in the district today. the d.c. bike ride gets off to a rolling start in just a couple of hours and it'll mean a 20 mile car-free route for the psychists. expect plenty of road closures. as you take a live look at the starting line. >> very cool. and north korea fired it's seventh ballistic missile test around 5u7 30 in the morning their time. that missile flew for about 30 minutes before landing in the sea of japan. the white house says the president was briefed. china's foreign ministry expressing opposition and call itting the situation complex and sensitive. news 4 today ss all right. 6:30 on the dot on this sunday morning, sun is up, it's mother's day. happy mother's day. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. >> happy mother's day to everyone who's working here with us at news 4 today and all the moms a the home. hope off great day today, i'm adam tuss. >> we appreciate you. i'm angie goff and looks like a great day weather wise, but some where a little mothers they had to eat -- >> you can do that. >> hold on to it though. >> really. >> blustery today, right tom. >> it's going to get windy this afternoon. gusts up to 30 miles an hour between now and then though, just few clouds coming through, and they are producing sprinkles of light rain. you can see that there on the storm team 4 tower camera. sprinkle activity coming down from the north and west. right along 270 from frederick all the way down to the beltway. it's going to quickly passing right only

a few minutes. >> stay tuned for that. developing this morning out of greece, three people died, ten injured when a train went off the tracks. the train derailed in the northern part of greece outside of a town there. officials say that the train's operator is among the dead. but witnesses says he saw a flash and heard a terrible explosion. officials say the plane crime slammed into a three story house. three people hurt. three hurt are in serious condition. 22-year-old in bloin lives with his parents is being credited with stopping the global ransom ware. the young tech who is now being named says he noticed the software consistently pinging in unregistered web domains. for $10.69. doing that made the website go live which essentially flipped a kill switch. nearly 100 countries were affected. security experts say that this attack should wake up companies around the globe. >> well, it was a chaotic scene in southeast d.c. after police cruisers collided and gunshots rang out. d.c. police say it started when police tried to question someone. the person led police on a foot chase. other police were called to the scene. that's when two slammed into each other near 12th and nine streets. at some point, shots were fired in the area. no one was hit. officers and cruisers have minor injuries. several people were arrested. president donald trump will speak out the 36th national peace officer's memorial service at the u.s. capitol tomorrow. service is part of national police week. a scene that's meant to remember the men and women who made the ultimate >> nearly 400 names were read at the national fallen officer's candle slight vigil last night on the national mall. one woman was zeta bathes. she went with her baby daughter who will never see her father. bates was pregnant when the baby's father, a kansas city police captain, was shot and killed in jowl. >> incredibly moving to see how many people care, but it's also incredibly painful because you know, we're still working through the grief process. he hasn't even been gone a year. and it's just -- it's a very difficult journey. and it just all of the emotions have bubbled to the surface. >> last night's keynote speaker was attorney general jeff sessions who promised to have the backs of police officers. pope francis and president trump will meet for the first time next week. the pope spoke to reporters on his plane about that meeting. and he says he will convince the president to soften his policies, but he also said that he hopes to find at least a, quote, partly open door, end quote for dialogue so they could contribute to the cause of the world peace. you might recall last year when the pope was asked about then president trump, immigration policies and plans for a border, a man with such views was quote, not christian. well back here at home today, moms will be taking over the jefferson memorial this afternoon. this is all for the march for moms mother's day rally. it is a rally that is set to start at # 1:00 this afternoon and it'll probably wrap up around 4:00. march for moms says it is trying to raise awareness about the maternal mortality rates in the u.s. they say

murder of a d.c. family two years old. today marks two years since the quadruple killing. the mansion where the family lived has now been demolished in northwest d.c. he held them captive along with their ten-year-old son and housekeeper for 18 hours. he allegedly paid a $40,000 ransom before police say he killed his victims and set the house on fire. he is set to go on trial in september. meanwhile maryland man and navy vet has returned from a vacation in the bahamas bruising, beaten. this is a story you're only going see here on news 4. adrian brown believes he was targeted because he was gay. last week he was attacked bay group of people and was even hit bay rock during a carnival celebration. brown says it was unprovoked and the people shouted at a derogatory name at him. quite a

state department's activities consistent with the direction he wants to take the country. >> what's the line between service to the president and service to the country, sir? for you? >> i'll never compromise my own values, chuck, and so, that's my only line. is in my values are those of the country. >> rex tillerson reacting to the firing of james comey. >> that's only part of an exclusive interview coming up on moderator, chuck todd, chuck, let's get right into it. how does this firing, what does he say about the firing and -- was he shocked? the administration still kind of scrambling? >> he wanted to say as little as he could. i mean, that was not certainly not going to surprise you. i spent a long time with him on the issue of russia. we went back and forth about why did -- why isn't the issue of russian interference at the top of the list when dealing with russia? they had a meeting this week with the russian foreign minister here in the united states, and they didn't bring it up. and so here you have this, this, this situation where you have the russians infiltrating elections all over europe. and here, and not to make it, you know -- not just -- some would say it should be the number one issue right now that we're discussing, but not coming up at all. it did feel as if they didn't put it that way. >> do you think that as the president decides who he's going to go with next, as far as replacing comey, a decision was by the way he wants to make sooner than later. possibly this week. that we are going to see the issue of russia go away? what do the candidates tell you about the future that the fbi will be going? >> all of them look like they're attempts to sort of say i would say mull if i washington in different ways. i mean look, john cornen, in a normal political environment would actually be a pretty good bipartisan choice. jon right now if democrats would feel comfortable seeing somebody whose an elected official. we haven't had a former elected official be appointed to the fbi, i think ever. and some, some would be uncomfortable with that idea because if we're the fbi. she was a homeland security advisor in the clinton administration, right at the tail end, and the bush administration. she had bipartisan credentials. be the first woman to lead the fbi. she would be -- and that's one of those that could get i think bipartisan support. and i think a lot of applaud around washington. i think the administration knows they have to find somebody that makes people say okay, that person's fully qualified, and knowing president trump, i think he likes the idea to get credit for appointing the first woman ever to one of those agencies. >> interesting. >> stay tuned on that. i'm sure there's more coming up on the whole russia investigation. >> we do. we'll have an exclusive report about a white house shake-up in the works. >> really? >> press secretary. you don't know when he'll execute it. here he is again, unhappy with his chief of staff, unhappy with his press secretary. >> oh boy. >> nows president muses about this to anybody who will listen sometimes. nobody knows if he'll act, but if he acts, it's
