hvac system and determined that the odor of gasoline came from the parking lot of the potomac woods swim and ten in addition club located next door. that odor carried by today's wind drifted into two classrooms that had their windows open. >> we don't know what the source of the fuel was. it probably was not intentional spill. migrated down into that trough and was collected in the sand and leaves and debris. when the rain came in, overflowed the trough there. that also spread around the area which allowed the vapors to come back up. kevin: firefighters tell us that the private pool is working with a contractor to clean out that trough. 44 people evaluated. everyone doing okay. reporting in rockville, kevin lewis, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. turning to the terror in manchester. today the mother of one of the 22-year-old people killed in monday's suicide bombing said

many people don't know that pandas can only get pregnant one time for them to get pregnant is 24 to 72 hours. so scientists have been watching her to make sure that she is ready. they had to collect samples to deposit into her. this happened again yet. we caught up with the people in charge. let's listen. >> we were watching her. she shows clear signals that she is coming in. we see a tail up, and she is receptive. >> the issue we have is sometimes the behavior between the male and the female are not in sync so we can want put them together. but we know it is time for the female to conceive. so the clock is ticking. so at some point there is no conclusion attraction between -- conclusive attraction we go for the artificial insemination. >> you can see him out playing.

will we find out if mei xiang is pregnant? scientists tell us it could be three or four months before we know that. the average pregnancy is three and six months which means we could have a new panda cub here at the national zoo by the end of august or early september. if it's successful pregnancy, the panda would stay here for four years. we'll keep you updated. nancy: so we are on panda watch until then? jonathan: everything you want to know about the bran da breeding -- panda breeding habits. we are givers. alison: the people here love it. we have had three and everybody here goes crazy. jonathan: they like the results. nancy: they are astorable. we want to give bao bao a brother or sister. doug: we'll see. we know soon enough. jonathan: we know everything no. totally educated. doug: time for the weekend forecast. listen, it's no p
