border controls, sharing more information and stepping up the efforts to prevt the foreign fighters in and out of riad iraq. jonathan: but b at ome, there are some calling for u.s. troops on the ground in syria. calls tha residen obama says are a mistake. president obama: every few months i go to walter reed. i seyear-old kid who is paralyzed or has lost his limbs. and some of those are people i have ordered into battle. so i can't afford to play some of the political games that other may. jonathan: tonight we do have team coverage of the attacks from paris, as well as the impacts at home. letes start with stephen tschida with the latest video directly threatening us in the united states, specifically washington, d.c. stephen: security beefed up at the nation's capital, across

washington, d.c. i have to tell you about an hour ago i got word from a terrorism analyst that told me that the f.b.i. and other agencies are well aware that isil sympathizers if not participants are here in the metro area. a threat possibly from isis, naming washington, d.c., as one of the next targets. >> it's quite scary, living five blocks north of the white house. stephen: while paris recovers from a night of terror and slaughter, life in washington hums along with an undercurrent of dread. >> it's natural to think about, you know, the similar places in washington or the way that something like that could take place in the city. stefs security is stepped up across the city, around national monuments, at the u.s. capitol. and metro. >> it will blow up. somebody will bomb the train. or shoot in the train station. stephen: those we spoke with who live here said despite the threat, they will not change

their behavior. >> go on with your daily business, what you need to do and plan accordingly. we can't stop living because they make threats. stephen: lot of people going about their daily lives but many are acknowledging the underlying fear they have now. i have tell you that the terrorism analysts said it would be easy to contain the isis sympathizers but first you have to identify them. and that can be a challenge. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you very much. it's worse stressing at home. no specific threat. but the agencies from the u.s. capitol police to metro transit are saying we all need to be cautious and be on gaard when we are out -- on guard when we are out and about. today's twitter poll is do you feel safe in light of the attacks? we will share comments later in the newscast. alison: personal security became a big concern in the months after the september 11 attacks. so are all of those emergency

kits and go plans still in place? suzanne kennedy is live in northwest washington. what did you find out today? suzanne: this is the kind of place that a lot of people keep emergency preparedness kits, batteries, flashlight, water, candle and food. they are tucked away in a tool shed or maybe even in the basement and they are easily forgotten. in some cases people haven't even thought about them since 9/11 or perhaps y2k. at stores like this, they are starting to think about people coming in who may want to come in and replenish their emergency kits they have forgotten. this is all in light of the terrorist attack on friday. the isis video now calling washington, d.c. a target. >> people are going to be reminded of the potential dangers out there so they want to inspect their gear and make sure they have everything they need. things that you need to revise anything, see if you need to update anything, replace

anything. suzanne: coming up tonight at 5:00, we will tell you what one woman is thinking as she rethinks her emergency preparedness kit and how she has left it in the basement. reporting live in northwest washington, suzanne kennedy, abc7 news. alison: thank you. now facebook is facing a bit of a backlash. this is for its safety check post tha happen in last friday's attack. you may have actually got an notification from friend in paris letting you know that person was safe. the social network has only used this feature five times before friday. mostly after natural disasters. now some people ask why it hasn't been used more. like after thursday's deadly bombings i beirut? facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg said the feature was designed for natural disasters but from now on it will used after human ones as well. more than 4 million people used it friday. well, places like the eiffel

tower and the u.s. capitol can be attractive targets for terrorist. in france we saw cafes and we saw that theater targeted. in addition to a national stadium. our maryland bureau chief brad bell is in downtown silver spring with more on this side of the story today. brad? brad: just about everybody we have spoken to in silver spring, people at restaurants or people at the ice rink are telling us that what happened in paris is on their mind. they are worried because what it showed then is the terrorists won't just strike at landmarks. they will also hit where people live their lives. fans pass fedex field to see a redskins win. shoppers gather in a grocery store. friends enjoy lunch at a sidewalk cafe. it is everyday life. the things we do, the places we go. now, sadly, called potential soft targets by security experts. those places where there are lots of people but not a lot of security. >> how are you going to

protect that, i don't know. brad: isis specifically threatened d.c., the suburbs can't be considered immune with restaurant districts, theaters and the biggest gathering place of all, the football stadium. just like paris. today peopl are worried. >> sure. appreh definitely. but you have to go on with your life. live the way you have been living. otherwise you will be consumed with this. >> afraid of going out. like anywhere. it's really scary. brad: when we come back at 5:00, we'll have more on the story including what local police are doing about the perception that there is an increased threat. and what they want you to do as well. in silver spring, brad bell, abc7 news. jonathan: there has always been a huge outpouring of support outside the french embassy this weekend. muriel bowser visiting the memorial an hour ago. just one of several signs of

solidarity with paris all over the world. the single political reporter scott thuman is live in the city of lights with a look at the reaction of the street of paris. start there. what is the mood there? it's only been a couple ys sincs attack. scott: you are right about that, jonathan. i spent quite a bit of time this morng where the concert goers were attack and then we went to what has become the central meeting point, the gathering area for people as they continue to mourn. i want to show you video we took. it was a stirring moment in paris. what amounted to essentially a moment of silence across the country here. people were looking at what is the new reality setting in. as you pointed out, it has been a couple of days now that they are digesting this. for the first time understanding the implications. for many that sadness has turned to anger.

we spout the fact tonight we are seeing a lot of action militarily, flying above siree and dropping ordnance in the attacks. we're asking is it enough? is it what they need for retaliation for what happened in paris? >> scary. dom.it's lie you want to keep you want to fight for your freedom. >> they should have done it before now. before it's tooate. before it gets worse. >> you can drop bombs on as many countries as you want but it won't make the problem go away. scott: well, he talked about problems going away. one of them that is not going away soon and is being addressed really with intensity is what to do about the syrian refugee crisis. one of the attackers apparently got in as a refugee. they are now questioning in france and a across the

globe who to do about this crisis. do you continue to take in the refugees and how do you properly vet them. a daunting task, a difficult challenge and one that now everyone is rushing to figure ou jonathan? jonathan: you bring an interesting perspective to that because you toured some of the refugee camps there. it's become a huge problem, because there are so many to ask and expect that these people would be vetted in a timely fashion is asking a lot, if not impossible. scott: a month and a half ago we were in the refugee camp in france known as the upal. one of the worst. we asked is there a way to make sure the people in the camp are not on their way west to do some sort of terrorist harm? we spoke to people and they said there is no way to know. this is such a mixed culte there coming from all different areas, often without any documentation.

so it's not as if it's something that couldn't have been foreseen. a lot of people said the warning was out there. that's what we looked into initially. jonathan: without documentation we take these folks at their word. that's the problem. we appreciate your time. thank you. alison: thank you for that. coming up at 4:30 today a look at what the attacks could mean on the campaign trail in the u.s. 4:45, not just government taking aim at isis now. at 5:00, a look at the states that are taking a stand on the european refugees we talked about coming in the country. then tonight we hope you will join us for a special town hall. this will be examining the war on terror. that is tonight at 7:0 on our tation newschannel8. jonathan: coming up for us here on "abc7 news at 4:00" -- maryland governor hogan's health. what we are learning about his fight with cancer today. we'll have an update for you. alison: plus, taking over. details of the merger to make one of the locally owned hotel chain one of the largest in the worl

take a look here. a notice that this area would be cleared out. this happened 14 days ago. that is part of the city policy to give them 14 days' notice that this would be happening. today they came here to where the tents have been popping up to talk to people who called this place home. d.c. officials tell us they would like to find a permanent place for all of the individuals to call home. they say it's illegal to camperp them here. specifically as we head into those winter and colder months. so the d.c. agencies including the distri department of humanservices an behavioral health had people coming out here today to talk to these individuals. what are their neds? what kind of place would they need? they say the gol of today's movement is tory to find a place for each one of these people, a roof over each one of their heads. take a listen. >> it depends on idividual circumstances. some need will be supportive housing with other services.

some could have a voucher if they have a job. that is why they go through a process of assessment to say so i can't just give you a one-size-fits-all, everyone come with us and there is an apartment waiting for you. some may need to go into a temporary shelter. brianne: so you heard there some may need to go into a temporary shelter. that is the issue. some say they don't want to go to a shelter. they say they have been there before and it was not a great experience or other saying they do not want to be placed in a shelter. they are looking for permanent housing. right now they are still talking to individuals here. they say the goal is to have this cleared out by tonight or tomorrow. reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. alison: thank you. jonathan: developing now, washington college on the maryland shore is closed out of an abundance of caution tonight. administrators closed the campus after learning of a student leaving home with a gun. they searched the campus and they didn't find anything unusual.

french soil since world war ii. at the same time, there is a real sense of fear about what could happen next. remember, france is under a state of emergency. which means that the key tourist sites remain closed. there is an increased security presence not just here in paris but across france. some ten thousand troops deployed at key locations. people here are very much on edge. at the same time, they want to send a message that they are not afraid. many people though choosing to stay home. keep in mind that this is the second major terrorist attack france has seen in the last ten months. alison: okay, erin. we all watcoday as france's president hollande addressed the parliament there. any reaction to his historic address? erin: that is right.

attack americans are going to demand answers. >> we kind of expect whether this is right or wrong we expect things to happen in the middle east that aren't pleasant. but when they start to move into western europe, it's very alarming. something that the american public was willing to put aside or compartmentalize up until friday night. now it's front and center and all the candidates will have to step up and answer questions. jonathan: president obama called on the presidential candidates criticizing the current campaign in syria or calling for u.s. troops on the ground to represent or present specific plans. and experts to support their opinions. so he is open to new ideas. we are asking you. this is the poll question for the day. do you feel safer after the attacks on paris? log on the twitter account to vote on the poll. the handle is abc7 news. alison: other news. a big announcement in the last hour from maryland governor larry hogan. he says he is cancer-free. kevin lewis is live at the maryland state house in

alison: you may have heard the ads promising men they can fix their sex lives in just one visit. jonathan: customers to a men's clinic with over the country say the promises didn't add up to the solution. "7 on your side" i-team

investigator joce sterman here to explain why. joce: some of the men paid as much as $10,000. what the i-team found may have some of the clients rethinking the cash they laid out for the treatment. tonight at 11:00, the " on your side" item digs into a company with clinics across the country including right here in maryland. the clinics treat erectile dysfunction but we found some of the physicians involved with trouble in their past and we discovered some of them are not even specialists in this field. they are actually obgyn's. we'll have more on that night. it's troubling stuff that may have people thinking twice. before you seek treatment we want to talk to the experts talk about what you need to do here. we know people will pursue th clinics. we have dr. gregory jones, psychologist and sex therapist. men might think of this as a solo problem but this is a we problem. you have to get your partner to communicate if this is something you are dealing with. >> it's involving both people, it involves communication,

sexual arousal and how well you talk about it and makg sure you are working to understand what turns each other on. joce: htis is a sensitive topic. how do you get people to oen up and have th conversations? >> it's a difficult top tic to talk about. even in couples therapy, couples struggle to alk about. whether you come to couples therapy to talk about it or see a therapist yourself to help yourself become comfortable talking about something that most people feel is really taboo. the fact is every couple needs to check in n their sex life an he satisfaction of it to have areally healthy relationship. joce: in our culture we first want o jump. we want to go to medicine. but this is something you think is often a mental block. how do you know if it's one or the other? >> you can go to see a urologist and have a test done to make sure it's not urology or testosterone related. otherwise, 90% of the time it's mental. it's like a panic attack of the penis.

in that there is a time you get anxious in performance and you do not acieve erection. so next time the male might be more anxious about it happening and create a self-fulfilling prophecy and then it interferes with the erectile dysfunction. joce: that is good advice. also tonight we have a hidden camera investigation. we talk about the company we told you about and the customers call at it libido letdown. we will see you at 11:00. back to you. alison: thank you very much. back to the war on terror. it's getting a boost from a hacker group called anonymous. in a video posted to youtube, it condemned attacks in paris and vowed to hunt down those responsible online and expose them. operation terrorist says it will feel valuable information from isis and leak it online. so today on twitter, we are asking if you feel safe in the wake of the terror attacks in paris? jonathan: we have results for
