just don't want syrian refugees in their state. kevin lewis picks up coverage from the satellite center. what did hogan say when it came to the topic? kevin: the first-term republican governor said security is his top priority. so effectively immediately, he has had the feds to keep syrian refugees to settle in maryland until there is no threat to public safety. the u.s. has 1,800 syrian refugees this year alone. maryland has 31. virginia accepted 13. those numbers coming from the u.s. state department. virginia a much softer tone where democratic governor terry mcauliffe did not restrict syrian refugees from entering the commonwealth. mcauliffe spokesman telling us every refugee undergoes intensive security screening. we did reach out to d.c. mayor muriel bowser's office for its syrian refugee data but we have not heard back. that is the latest in the

satellite center. back to you. jonathan: the issue is the vetting process. a lot of folks are showing one no documentation. it's not like we can call assad and say what do you know about this guy? oh are they vetting the people to make suhey are not a threat? kevin: the state department says the vetting is much more stringent than other nations. the normal vetting is significant in and of itself. a lot of people we talk to on the street say they are not convinced that they want syrians coming to america at this hour. we'll have much more of their opinion coming up. jonathan: look forward to it. thank you very much. today's twitter poll is asking if yo think the state should be allowing refugees to come into our country from syria? we will have the results and someof your answers coming up later in this newsroom. alison: tense moments on a british airways flight two hours ago when a woman tried to open an exit door during flight. that plane was headed to boston. police were waiting when it arrived. it turned out the woman had too much to drik.

so that incident came just hours after four people were removed from a flight trying to leave b.w.i. marshall airport. abc7's suzanne kennedy happened to be on the plane. zeus i'm suzanne kennedy at b.w.i. airport where a situation is often folding. this started 6:15 on spirit airlines mk 969. 6:00 a.m. flight was supposed to head to chicago. it was five minutes into taxis when a woman got up with her child and went rapidly to the back of the plane. she was asked to immediately sit down. it was at that point that the captain came on the overhead speaker and said that the plane was being brought back to the gate. alison: all right. so suanne is here now. she did not take the trip today. i would like you to pick up the story from where you left it that the woman got up quickly, sat back down. then what happened? suzanne: they brought us back to the gate immediately. i want to stress she was not the problem. although they were concerned about the fact that she stood

up at that time during the flight. it was that she had gone to the back of the aircraft to tell a flight attendant or a member of the crew that she had concerns about several people that were sitting around her. there were four people sitting nearby her who were watching some sort of a news report. she found it to be suspicious. she got up quickly, went to the back of the plane and reported it following the "see something, say something" and she went back and said it doesn't seem right to me. alison: what was the mood on the plane? were people concerned at this point? suzanne: initially people were not as concerned that she got up and went to the back of the plane. they thought it was strange but no unwas shocked by it. when maryland transportation authority police came on the plane, it was pretty frightening. people didn't know what was going on. they went to the four passengers, three men and one woman. got them up. escorted them off the plane. we didn't really know why. we didn't know what was happening so there was a certain level of uncertainty

if you will. more so if there had been just last week prior to the french terror attacks. alison: sure. ultimately what happened? they took everybody off the plane an then he flight left what? several hours later? suzanne: they ended upkeeping us on the plane a half hour after the four were initially taken off. then they went on the overhead speaker and took three more people off. we're not certain why that was the case. they left us on the plane. we all waited for a half hour, waiting to see if the t.s.a. was going to come. we were waiting for them. they ended up taking us all off the plane. they searched the entire plane. t.s.a., the f.b.i. was there as well. then at 9:15, that flight was able to take off for chicago. some people had to be rerouted. because of connecting flights to chicago. but people were getting back on the plane. albeit, leery about what had happened. alison: thank you for your first-hand account of what happened there, keeping us posted. jonathan: that will get your full attention. thank you. just across the bay, students were told to evacuate the college campus. a threat by a student closed

little say. jeff: much of the president's power comes from the 1980 refugee act. the president may admit refugees who face persecution or well-founded fear persecution. but they can make it difficult like withholding state funding for services like job training and teaching english to newly arrived refugees. there is nothing to stop a refugee settling into one state to move to another state later on where they would be more welcome. >> these are people like anyone else. they can travel from state to state. >> congress does have the power to change or amend the refugee act. making things difficult for president barack obama. >> if the states take a stand and try and bring it in the courts there is always the possibility it could make its way to the supreme court. >> in the meantime, president obama has no plans to change

you have probably already seen the video. safe to vay it went viral. of two women twerking on a male customer and grabbing him. the police deemed it was sexual abuse and locked a woman up. the man on the center of the video is going on camera. he said what happened went well beyond what you saw on tape. he sat down with us and said it lasted ten minute and it continued outside where the woman tried to get in his car. there was a group of men nearby. he wasn't sure he was being set up. he said the two women kept coming at him and showed up in the car wash and even though it was running, that didn't stop them. >> i thought they were going to shoot me or stab me or whatever. that's what i thought. that's when i called 911. it wasn't about the twerking crap. it was the constant coming at me. jennifer: you can hear

washington tharpe in his own words with his face on camera revealed coming up on "abc7 news at 5:00". we'll see you then. i'm jennifer donelan. back to you. alison: we'll see you. thank you. coming up for abc7 news at 4:00 he wants to be an advocate for others fighting hiv and aids. will that community welcome charlie sheen? >> oh, my god. jonathan: plus, through the lightning strikes you can see it. a massive tornado touched down.

he announced today on "the today show" he is hiv positive. >> i am admitting that i am in fact hiv positive. and i have to put a stop to this on slot, this barrage of attacks and of sub truths. and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me. that threatening the health of so many others, which couldn't be farther from the truth. alison: we want to talk about this more. joining me now is justin goforth the director of the community relations with the whitman walker clinic. thank you for joining us. i know in d.c. in your ten-plus years there you work with hiv patients. what is your reaction to charlie sheen's announcement? >> anytime that system-up with uses celebrity status to

bring an light -- light to an issue that needs more education is a good thing. he is not the best spokesperson but i see a lot of really great things he is saying around the responsibility he took to this. using condoms and so on. what he describes in the open letter i read around going through like suicidal period where he was really binge drinking and doing a lot of drugs and engaging with sex workers and so son is not uncommon. it's all about how heavy that stigma is about the fear that you have hiv and share it with others. alison: so the fact he is as controversial as he is, is outweighed that it is bringing the issue back to prominence. it has been a long time since we have had a select bring this much attention to -- we

have had a celebrity bring this much attention to the issue. >> i also hear he intends to carry on being a representative of how to take care of yourself, the fact that being in care and on treatment means he can have a full life. -doesn't have to be the health issue that he has to struggle with. he said, look, i was trying to kill myself through drinking and drugging and all the while i was taking my medicine and hiv was stopped in my body. it wasn't the hiv hurting me. it was the fear that he had around having hiv and the status. the biggest fear someone has when they learn they are positive for me it was 23 years ago that still happens today is i'm going to be alone the rest of my life. no one will want to have an intimate relationship with me. we as human beings are meant to be connected in intimate ways. that is a huge fear. it is not a truth. it's a lie. but it is created by the stigma we have created over 30-some years of hiv. alison: thank you for sharing
