Gues small victory. Nks. Lets check in with erin. 7 17. 7 1 295 southbound has reopened reoe between burroughs avenue andburr benning road. But look at this backup. Bac backed up traffic extends allxtl the way outside the beltway to o powder mill road as you try tol extends down to penronsylvaniaya you are parked. You can see speeds are nota aren even hitting 10 miles perlepe ho about an hour and 20 minu dteone of extra traffic i would say woy coming down from northernorth maryland take 95 southbound toou the beltway. The beltway you can use route one but ine would avoid 295 southbound. Thbon well swift over from a viewa v of skyfox where were taking aaa look at that parking lot andkina look at our maps. Ou we have a second crash that isht in the delay. E del. Its out at 50 blocking ackg right lane so that is adding add to the delays. El 50 inbound completely parkedy pa from the beltway to 295. 95 and were starting to see outer loop delays as well inbound as well. So again even though thehe closure has cleared and its reopened, 295 and southbound, 29 not a good bet for your bet f yr morning commute. Ing mmut in addition to that metro met delays still in place. La a disabled work unit at u a street single tracking on theing green line between u and georgia. Delays in both directions dectin there t were seeing a lot of congestion building on ourtiin typical routes. Well take a look around thedhe dmv next. Ext. Allison. Thanks erin. A preliminary premi vote on a new schedule fore late night Metro Service. Vice metro says it needs toeeds reduce hours starting n summer to allow time forimfo routine repairs and repairs maintenance. Obviously not everybody agrees with that plan. Ck iswis melanie alnwi live now at metro headquartersdt with more. Or good morning. Reporter hey, good morning steve and rep allison. S a lot of people weighed in onn this. Metro says that this proposal brought in more responses frompm the public than any other proposal that it has had on had its agenda in quite some time. Om it was an issue here, if you recall, when safe track began general manage Paul Wiedefeld cut back on that service. Ma it used to snatageyback opene ou 3 a. M. He says no more of this Late Night Service because we needsee time for safe track. Afe tra safe track will be donefe track sometime next summer theyre w trying to figure nex out will ow service be restored but paul pau wiedefeld says no, were notwer going to go back to things the way they were saying thatg t metro does need to claw backo cb eight more carve out eightig more hours in the special much schedule to makeur inspections and maintenance gets done on those tracks. We know that was part of the cause of the problemone that bef was not having enough right of o way access to do the minutes the and maintenance inspections. Insp overwhelming there was oneelmi proposal that everyone even though most people said we prefer not to see service cutvi but if we have to have serviceic cuts this is the one that wene e would be willing to accept and what that looks like would bee 11 30 p. M. And then friday and a saturday from 5 00 a. M. Friday is 5 00 a. M. To 1 00 a. M. , saturday 7 00 a. M. Toy 7 a 1 00 a. M. And then sundaysun from 8 00 a. M. To 11 00 p. M. So, essentially right now metro open until midnight. So, during the week they would e be cutting back half an hour h during the week but they would d be restoring those friday andri saturdays to 1 oclock in theng morn ting. S to 1 o now, a lot of people in d. C. Arent happy about this. T City Council Member jack evansrk who represents ward of restaurants and hotels in in his ward very concerned aboutcea people who need to use this Late Night Service to get to sco and from work. He and the city council passedla a resolution saying they want wn metro to restore the Late Night Service. Evans also happens to be the chairman of the metro board. Oa he is saying that even thoughnhh he doesnt like the proposale ta he might be willing to acceptlig it with some changes if there were a date certain when that Late Night Service would beig restoredht. Sstored so, today what were hearingeea is there will be a vote in anyone is going to try to makeom some changes to this very controversial proposal.

T i would say the beltway to either Central Avenue suitland parkway taking mlk jr. Highwayrg n if youre on the top sideop outside the beltway in maryland i would suggest 95nd i southbound taking maybe route one into the city bu wtnd tak aa 295 and 50.

Wd its great to be back withgr you guys. To ssed yed you. Feeling . It was, you know, 12 round fight. Ig yeah, i mean i did the 10000 5day version, not the twoyearr version. Rsn. So 105 days i went to 40 statese i went to about 140 cities andie my wife and i together because u my wife campaigned fulltime too we did 950 events in 105 days i was a whirlwind a lot of goodot memories a lot good friends. En obviously disappointed in then e out come but really proud ofud virginia. Vi we did very well in virginiarg d vote. The same as winning thee election. I am back very focused on thenhe senate and while im disappointed certainly it makesd it easier to get o cveerr the te disappointment like just have ta get right back to work thats wh the best thing. Hi we want to talk about thatlka moving forward. When you went through the entirr campaign obviously it came downe to you that one night, electiont night. Yeah. Take us through your emotional swing that night and a what you were feeling. Feeng i really was holding my expectations down. Dow shes trying to be a woman a w president and we never had one, and its really hard to wino three terms in a row so i kept k telling everybody i dont care what the polls say youre therh underdog. So i was holding my expectationa down but ill tell you, the head fake that started me to feelo f pretty goodbye seven virginii polls closed at 7 00 were thee first polls to close in thellse United States. 7 00 p. M. Eastern time. Im by 7 45, i knew we were going tt win virginia and we were goingei to win by more than president det obama did four years ago. A. We have some jurisdictions thats report real earl those and we say, okay, it lab good night. Ight so i was able to tell, you know, the boiler room in brooklyn, bok were going to win virginia byy significantly more thanore than president obama did four yearsfs ago. I think it will be good nightoog fours. Then i started to get info a gog mood that was at 7 45 and by b 9 30 just because virginia isirs doing better that doesnt meandn other states are. Es are there was kind of a holding my expectations down. Own starting to feel good about 7 45. 7 but win an hour and a half hal obviously we were looking at other states and it wasy wewas you had told me we would winou w virginia by a bigger margin than president obama did, and we and would win the popular vote byy 3 million votes and still lose,l i would have said im in the ine sure thats possible. Hats ssib but thats the electoral elector college. Thats the system we have. The. What was your conversationwat with Hillary Clinton like that t night Election Night . Ight a number of conversations. Io so, you know, we were w after you found out she would not be president of the unitedsi states what was the conversation. Hillary is a very resilient person. I mean she has dealt with anea awful lot in her life. Life. Painful situations, dif situations. And shes got to philosophicalal perspective, you know, if you, u youve been given a lot of lot opportunities and a lot of goodd things have happened to you andp thats theened case, but you alo have to accept, you know, the tough things. I love my fate to the very coolc and righthand. Its not all fruit. Fit theres core and righthand,ighn too. Hillary understands that. That so we talked that night and obviously deeply disappointedap but she had an understanding oft it, and then the next morning m introduce me i want to give a a concession speech. Speh. The norm the president ialdentl candidate gives a concession con speech with no introduction. Ducn will you introduce me . I was ss glad i got to because i can sayy things about her that shet wouldnt say about herself, ande that she didnt say aboutut herself but i was glad i wasladw able to look, im proud to be oe this ticket. T. Im proud to be hillaryslary friend. Im proud that she, you know,at won the popularyo vote. V that she made history as the a first woman nominee of any party of any major the countrys history. Hisry while we didnt quite get theret im proud of the effort and, umu and were continuing to, youo, know, to be together. Tet well do some thank you eventsvt together here in the next couplp of weeks, and but there hadntt been a have a yann on a nationaa ticket a virginian politicalit figure since 1840 and so thatndo was also kind of a cool thing t just in terms of a little homehe pride. Prid right. Ot putn thut on the ticket partly because of me, but i alss put on the ticket partly because it was important from 1780 to 1840 in national politic. Pol it was unimportant for many forn years. Virginia is important again toat both parties its important. Both parties competed hard for f virginia and that will be thelle case Going Forward and im prour of that. Wa of t lets talk we hate to harr on the election but having youco here is amazing to get into n you guys are my first lifeirl interview way local station hern in d. C. C love it. Love it. Let me ask you aboutlo this t recount evident. Dent what are your thoughts on this . H well, you know, the clintonli team looked at the votes and looked at recount and were nott going to pursue it, but when jill stein want one of the thiri Party Candidates decided to doeo it if theres going to be agoine recount we have to be at theweat table to make sure its done doe right. That its done fairly. Fairl you know, i do think people are entitled to know that thethat t results are results that they tt can trust and that they canha count on. Coun so if theres a recount, we havv to be at the table, and we are. And, you know, i think people pe are entitled to know that thetht results are fair. F things during the campaign obviously, um there were a lot of odd o things during this campaign. Pa even with respect to voting. S during the summer, you know, you have the intelligence agencies e of the United States saying, sin that the government of russiaf i was trying to influence the outh come of the election especially hacking into a couple of stateol boards of elections. Elect the boards of elections inardsel arizona and illinois. So if theres questions about was there some influence, itsci important to put those to bed. And were very doubtl and yet it is important fortaor people to know the results are results they can trust. Can trut im curious what your take is just because of the way thatau this entire campaign went, itss different from what lot of lot o people i think had seen inee i american politics leading up tot now. And for that reason alone it will stand out in history president ial elections. Ions but when it comes to things like the recount now there are thoseo who say, look, thisw person wan elected by the democratic process. Oces it should be left alone at this from more people in either ehe positive or in negative ways im sure than you ever heard beforer represent having a have a now ah someone attempting to represent the entire nteatiomptin. Ion. Yeah. Y what does that do for the future of politics . What does that do for the future of working together trying to haveo cohesive now on both sides ofido the aisle when there was a lot l of just it seemed like its myy person, your person and there ii no middle ground . D . Well, the most important ior thing that all of us can do whatever our role is to play tht role we can and reach across aisle. Heres what im proud of. s wha i came back to the senate thethe week after the election, and i i introduced a bill with marco rubio is bill to battle againstt anti semitism which is somethinm were seeing sadly on thee seeig increase around the world. So i partnered with a republicai to put in a bill about a topic c think is really important. Yesterday we finish the conference. Conferen im on the Armed Services committee the single biggeste sg thing i work on every year is ya bipartisan and i signedig conference report as a democratic member in the minority and bipartisan billsanb that likely will pass conferencc report in the house in the nextx day or two and in the next next ekek. The most important thing we cana do in whatever role we play jusa go right back to work, and findd areas of common cause. C theres going to be areas wherer i disagree with the president. Re President Trump just like iveev disagreed with president obamada who is a friend of mine. E President Trumps first action ive disagreed with he asked thk house don bill this year. Instead punt it into next year. Y i said thats really bad. Y its really bad for the nations defense. Defense you said that you were going to be a prowe militreary president b by pushing off doing a budget in december and appropriations bil which we should do, we have the time to do it, and saying no,g lets do it in march, lets dold it in april, lets do it in may, youre actually hurting the nations defense. Efen so heres my goal coming back i going to advance everywhere weew can and work with my colleaguesg in congress to do that acrossats priority that is are important for america, priorities that art important for have a have. Or haa back to work for virginia w speaking of the military ory defense you have the pentagon pa there. What a huge employer theuge emet pentagon is. Right. How do you work to make sureo the jobs arerk to there and tha their paychecks stay . Heres an example. In the defense bill her i said originally passed out of theut t senate over my objection, thereh was a provision that imposedt id what i thought were dramatic and really unjustified quote quote headquarters cuts. Cuts. Headquarters in just the pentagon i world, but there was a number ar for the cut that i just thoughtt it was entirely too large. L we worked really hard in thisnhi and the bill thats going get gg voted on reduces those tse headquarters cuts significantlyy there was a provision that was t going to reduce the basic Housing Allowance for dualor military couples. Coupl we were able to get that out oft the bill. Im really happy about that. O and we also got a ly h twopoint 1 oint 1 pay increase for our military ir the bill that well vote on. Vn. Im really happy about that. Abt the committee that i end up e Services Committee and theresne no state thats more connecteds to the nations military mission than virginia, and im one ofme two senators have a child in thn military so this is like really personal to me, too. So this is an area where, youyou know the good news this is pretty bipartisan. San senator mccain our Committee Chair he and i work he we get g along great, we disagree on soms things bust we agree on most. So i think back to your point, steve, which is okay eye after a an election that was, you know, that was a divided one and every president ial election means thaa afterwards weve got to comee together but this one may be may more than most im happy i havev to place to play in the senatehs im on Committee Like armedike d services and foreign relationsio and the aging committee we sends to be bipartisan we can promote Bipartisan Solutions thats whah im trying to do. I let me ask you about thate a though. I know as far as the future plans for senator tim kaine, asa youve said that you really reay dont want to be president innt 2020 but do you want to continuu to be senator in 218. N i do. Youll have a big target on youn now because of this push of gopg right now. Right no yup. Yup how do you to changeha anything . Do you do anythingo o different now just knowingnow jk youll have big namedgam republicans gunning up against n you in 218. Ive never not had a target. T this is a bigger target now. N with the entire country nowoury knows who tim kaine is. When i ran for the senate in 2012, more outside money, outside virginia money by superr packets was spent against mein m than against anybody in historyo other than the president ial race that year. That now since then, sadly thatadly t record has been broken. Ke. I think i approach this racehisr like ill approach any race. R i have no idea how who my m opponent will be im considerinm this race the hardest race illl he have run. Haveun but i have been a very happy senator. R im back a little sadder, ar, a little wiser but incredibly ire energized. Er we did see your fire in thatt one debate. Hey. Hey will you stick around. Il we wantl yo to talk about movinv forward what youll do as as senator. Se absolutely. Well take a short break and well be back with senator timai atkaine. He gets a lot of compliments. He wears his army hat, walks around with his army shirt looking all nice. And then people just say, . Thank you for serving our country . And im like, thats my dad. F the military community by the end of 2017. Im very proud of him. Male vo comcast. . . Welcome back. 7 44. Were continuing our in. Dep conversation with senator tim kaine. Kaine. Just fresh off the campaignff trail for the v ticepresident il nominee. Nominee yes. I want to get to this, t because were dealing withaling proposal that might stop service earlier and also metro is saying, hey, jurisdictionssdicts local you got to put money iy thot pot. Where do you sit on this . Thi well, i mean, first ive gotv a long history with metro when was governor, you know, we so depended on metro in that capacity, and now in the senate, as, you know, in the federal oversight and finding is important. The d. C. Metro area doesnt worw without metro. I mean ittrs l runs on metro. Etro right. I mean weve got to be metror that works and i give Paul Wiedefeld the new general manager whos been in a littleit bit over year i give him a lotil of credit. Of cdit. He came in and realize we gote t major safety problems and goal a one people have to be safe, anda so this safetrack proposal thata he put on the table there were short term pains for a lot of fo people. But the system is safer as aer a result. So i give him credit for a solil first year of, you know, getting i think he said so next year is about being good. First year is about being safe. F next year is about continuingtiu safety but being good. Theres this tug of war of about do we give more money to metro so they can fix their challenge oars do we demand they fix things before we give them m more money. More mey both sides have some points, you know, of importance. Ornc what we needed to see from metro in congress was a dramaticramati commitment to better managementm because frankly, it was w management that was lacking. Both in the also at the board. The board was not doing a good o job of managing this system. They were managing like kind ofo a bunch of political appointeest rather than transportationation professionals. Onals. The last year has seen a s significant improvement in thata and so im going to continue to go to bat for metro every whichi way i can but im also going tot do all i can with the maryland d. C. And virginia delegations tt hold them accountable on thele o management improvement. Vement talking with virginia senatot tim kaine about local and and national issues. Iue wrap it with one more election o question. Where the votes came in for thee election. Ti theres always been this talkhil youve been in virginia and and washington for so long as all oo us much this inside the beltway mentality versus outside thesidt beltway mentality. Ntality thats why i live inve i richmond. [ laughter ] i want to make sure i connect with people outside the beltwayy are thinking. G do you think that thisthi election was wake up call for aa lot of people who inside the beltway focused and democrats im this case, maybe change things i Going Forward as to who were actually reaching and listeningi to in this country . Ry . Lk, have a lot, you know, theres a lot to scrutinize in them. Certainly a feeling of being upset with washington is a big b part of it. It. Its not only part. Art. Hillary was trying to be the bet first woman president. N pre that cannot be under sold. Ol its very very difficult to do. D in congress right now just tot give an example 19 women. That ranks 75th in the world. Wr were behind iraq. Were behind afghanistan. Hani weve made it hard for women to running against. Gainst. Hard to win three terms in a row. Very difficult in recent history to win three terms in row for the same party. Ty. Right. twor president obama twos terms to be followed by a democratic president. Nt. Only two democratictwo democc president s have done that. Thtse first h democratic presidt Andrew Jackson and fdr. Dr. So were kind of a channelhann changing nation after two terms we tend to say, we want to see all of those are factors. Look, i think i think, um,nku you just see a lot of things, but thatis though being a senator fromor f virginia would be really easy, live in Northern Virginia andiri drive across the bridge everydgy day and almost all the senatorst in recent history from virginiaa lived in Northern Virginia i vii live in richmond because i feell like even though i got to be here during the week and got atk lo at of friends and nova and d. Im a little more connected witt people who dont do politics 24 7, you know, by going tooingo church in richmond hanging out in night neighborhood inht nghbo richmond. Rich go to the diner in richmond. Tim. M. If possible call me senatorlr in richmond theyre bad at me. [ laughter ][ if they call me tim, i knoww im okay. Kay in washington in the post election days back on the senate floor and we do appreciate you being here with us. G thank you very much. Hank you so happy to come back. Vomac. Appreciate.

Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can.

E righto unfortunately 8 01 traffic ic bad enough that it warrants awar little bit of an earlier hit. Even though 295 southbound has reopened, from the beltway to 50, we are completely jammed and then south of 50 all the way the down passed the 11th street see bridge heavy traffic. All lanes open. We were dealing with a crash involving 10 injuries and sixnds vehicles on 295 southbound thatt it shut down earlier thislier ti morning. Still seeing an overflow ofow o traffic in the area. Re traffic patterns try to get back 295 is completely parked withit congestion. Ngtion and the outer loop through largg heading up to 50 slow. Low. Same story as you head upp towards baltimore washingtonltim parkway if youre trying to hea trsouthbound i would say comingy from n corthern maryland your bs bet take 95 southbound to theune beltway or route 1, route 1 inti better shape but lot ofot secondaries in the area because of these residual delays are are jamming up as well. Wl. Suitland parkway inbound very vr slow. The 11th Street Bridge isid i jammed. As we take a closer look at thaa top side of the beltway, unfortunately, 95 right now on o the southbo to the beltway is just as jammem as baltimore washington parkwayh in both directions. 270 southbound about an hourn hu delay from 70 through urbana asa you get to the spur theyrehey heading to the beltway ear alsoo seeing heavy traffic, you can, c see a closer look at just a solid line of red over theve the legion bridge on the in your opinion were seeing significant delays and 66 eastbound jamsams from 234 to 50 with about a 45 a minute delay from 234 to the beltway.

Ng lanes were blocked from chain bridge to glenn echo. O. The crash caused car to catchch fire. Police are investigating whatha happened. Happ happening today the metroino board takes its first vote onn post safetrack late nightig service. Se metro general manager just completed his first year on thee job and hes starting his seconn with a b the transit agencys board takek vote today again on the post safetrack Late Night Service. Ht what does that mean . Melanie me alnwick is live at metroet headquarters back with wmau fox5 contributor martin dicaro. Icaro the hours of operations seems ts be on everyones mine. Sine. Reporter thats right,ter city. This question is something metro says more of its customers cusme weighed in on any otherth question. What should Metro Service hourss look like after safetrack . Ases fridays and saturdays beforeor safetrack. Safetrack. Everything has been curtailed tl midnight the question becomesioc once safetrack is over, how much time should customers have and a how much time should maintenance and inspections have . Wiedefeld wants to claw back another eigho hours into that. Hours that would mean the proinposalra that most people are willing to accept i should say is Service Hours till 11 30 monday througho friday but restoring some of thf Late Night Service hou trs. Martin dicaro looking at that,h, too. Martin, you said this could besl interesting. This vote today. Is vote today it is just a committee vote. Yes. Reporter but were note sure whats going to happen. N thats right. Today the committeets r will sl whether or not Paul Wiedefeldss plan to restore metro to a stata of good repair after decades ofo neglect will survive a full vott in two weeks. Wks because the metro board doesnte really operate like most, you know, legislatures in allsn all something called theme jurisdthictional veto. Ictional t except two from one jurisdictioi in this case washington, d. C. Are against the proposal, it fails. Even that if theyre in the minority. T if t heres whats atri stake. Stake. 1 00 a. M. Closings on saturdays. 1am closings on fridays. Frida it appears most of the metro board wants to give paulau wiedefeld two years of thiss Preventive Maintenance Program r where we have these earlierarli closings than weve been usedend to. But the District Of Columbia iss only willing to go along for ono year, and then reassess. Ess. So there might be some room for compromise there because theause point where the entire proposalo is vetoed and they have to start over again. Uld alorter that would also just kind of put metro backut mb where it was before. Thats right. Right. Yeah f91 of these proposals anda none of them were altogetheroghe popular you mentioned all the ae comments they got, 16,000 comments, there was a mural will the in favor of 1am closings, if they cant pass any the boardtha cant pass any of these scenarios, the schedule revertse back to 3am closings come july. L reporter and then youren yu in the situation again with a w new general manager who wants tt that. Yeses. General managers view the viewt system needs this. He doesnt want to reduceuce service. He would love to runse trvrainst 3 00 a. M. On friday and saturdaa nights. Ghts metro has been doing preventive maintenance hasnt been doing system wide inspections. There are a number of programs that require long blocks of timm in the overnight hours to be successful for the next twoex years. But the hospitality industry,us, bars, restaurants, hotels, Hotel Hospitals that have late nightit shift workers, they would like k to see the trains run late soe s their workers we know that committeeknowha meeting begins 9 00 oclock thih morning. Another interesting meeting sots to speak happening on capitol ct llll as well. Yeah. This one might be a doozy likeoe it was earlier in the house. House overnight committee willel hold another metro overnight hearing tomorrow 9 00 a. M. Andnd when they convene this hearingei seven months ago it turned intoo a fireworks. You had jack evans, dc Council Member chair of the metro boardd exchange in a shouting matchingm with republican members of o jock john mike a republican of o in order who host his election o this is his going out so to spk. K. Highly critical although altho supportive of metro in the pastp he wants answers from the from t general manager about howut how safetrack is going. Troi but we can expect to hear more r arguments over funding metro. Federal government about 40 of its workers rely on metro to geg back and forth but they dontont pay into metro 1. 8 millionmillo operating budget. Budget. It all comes down to money. Ey martin thank i know youll be in meetings. Our matt acklnd will be will b covering them as well. Ell we hope the board comes to anomo agreement today. Ag back to you guys.

This started with tweet frometro president elect donald trump thp burning of the American Flaghe a appears to be gaining steam onnm social media. So is this a first amendmentment demonstration or just down right disrespectful . Maureen is backs in studio with more and this isi going on on twitter. Er it is going on on twitter now. Goi keep in mind this is an issue that has been in the forefront f since about 1907 even beforee then. So nothing new really. Rea tweet from president electnt donald trump. Ld he sent it out in the early hours of Tuesday Morning writing nobody should be allowed towed burn the American Flag. Can fla if they do, their must bee consequences, perhaps loss of of citizenship or year in jail. His statement resonated with wit some who feeling the burning ofo the nag shows ultimateshows mate disrespect for american valuesal but it also angered a lot of l o other people who aerugo that flag burning is a first amendira the right. The riht those had support burning theure flag are not staying silent oni social immediate yacht hash tagh president elects tuesday tweett and when we searched for it onto twitter we found quite a few results.

Lag of course, the small movementemt has received considerableved cor backlash on social media and wea should note we are only able toa find just a few tweets that showed people actually takingyin part in the socalled challengen so the question this morning isi would do you think of this thinh challenge . Let us know onlet n social media using the fox5dc 5 but steve and allison as you you well know this is an issue theue Supreme Court has weighed in onn saying, yes, it is, it is constitutional to burn the the disrespectful and i think a lota people would say yes it is. Est i hate to seat image of a flag being burn. In my gut it doesnt sit well. W i think because of the wayay were raised in this country ana people raised us to be full of l pride and to really cherish whaa makes merck. Makes me americaamerica. Rica seeing it burn doesnt situr well i think with more than ahaa few people. Pl maureen, thank you. You. Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay.

Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. A history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. . . Come on. Ph rudolph the red noticed reindeer r. Ed er doesnt that sound great. T s.

Od m reporter allison and steve, good morning. Eve,mo were in the takoma park sectiot of dc this is cedar street 400 block just an observe. N obser take look at this rose. This rose survived just fine. T. But take a look right here thish is heavy and lots of it, this roofing material that came offat building. Buil you can see the bdilue tarp in e back there. Basically came off the back side of the roof here, and you canndy see scattered in the courtyard a here a bunch of this material. I. This was about 6 45 last night. G i live in maryland and out of of the blue came these strong windw the whipping rains and this isps one of two buildings right onigt this block that got hit by thesy strong winds and look what itk h did here.

Here right now there are 12 units ini this building that are off limits lit right now about 10 people werew told have been displaced. Ispl we spoke last night with pat carpenter who came home to findh all of this. My mouth dropped open. O like i cant believe. I cant be what is this . It look like at e war zone. People coming out of theout of building and we didnt know wha was going on. Was goon the firemen were like you cant go in and i had to stand out there. But i live her e. E here. But you cant go in. Cat go we have to assess, you know, the damage to see whats going on any way my son came and grabbeda me and dragged me in the houset with my daughterinlaw.

C. All right, thankfully nobody was hurt. Bob, thank you very much. Nk you meantime, in new york,or police are on the hunt for goldl thieves. Theyre looking for one manth ie guess just a thief accused of taking a pot of gold from anm armored truck. Tru literally you see him right g there taking that pot which thee said weighed 86 pounds yet hesh able to carry it fairly okay. Come on. O wait a minute. It aut did you see him, steve. Steve i watch this many times. Atcha i watch it yestenyrday whole buo timime. Apparently, the truck driveruckd went to the cab to retrieve a cell phone from the cab of the f truck and left like a pot you wouldnt know whats in it butb theres 1. 6 million worth of o gold flakes in it. T. I dont believe it weighs 86 pounds if he can pick it updp with one arm unless thats very very strong man. If you have a fortune in youy hands maybe you get the strength of somebody to try to run away. A its like carrying a littlegl person like a child. All right okay. O any way, Everybody Knows wh he is now because hes clearlycr caught on video. Caugn this happened on west 48tht street back in september and iei guess so far they havent founde him yet.
