ben: the lead story is breaking, public officials making plans to test thousands of students, details come and get. we 15 i am juliet huddy. ben: i am been simoneau. thank you for being with us. let's check the forecast. juliet: it doesn't say i am -- as you sent out in your email to my colleagues and my boss. ben: you send me an email referring to you as that. ben: he just sends emails not knowing he called me that. >> meteorologist: i wouldn't juliet: you didn't see the word

he might have noticed. >> meteorologist: i will try but you are on the hook. 49 is your current temperature at central park. a little bit cooler but pretty mild, 49 central park. newark, 45 in montauk. winds on the light and variable all over the place in the tri-state. we had a lot of low clouds and drizzle, light rain was pulling away. now the rain is done. even the drizzle is done. cloudiness in the area, we will see more sunshine and warmer temperatures. not too worried about what is coming through right now. tomorrow there will be interesting things, this warm front will come through bringing a small chance of showers and a cold front follows with a chance of showers and storms. today you will see a partly cloudy sky, high temperature 62.

chances pickup later in the day. high temperature 64 on st. patrick's day. a little cooler the next day, high of 53, showers in the area and then it is all done, dryer cooler weather for the upcoming weekend as spring changes over sunday morning. let's see what we have with in es. sapna: all green on our maps, same for new jersey and essex county. let's look at the long island expressway by the cross island parkway westbound from nassau county. the vanwyk through the q gardens interchange no problems in either direction. gwb moving fine as well as the trains. juliet: thank you very much. the republican race will go down

kasich came up big and hillary clinton could not be stopped although one state is too close to call. robert moses joins us with a recap of primary action. ernie: this was a do or die night, john kasich stayed alive, marco rubio did not. for hillary clinton and donald trump this was another chance to take a victory lap. donald trump continued his quest for the nomination with wins in florida, illinois and north missouri. trump seemed puzzled that front runner. >> can you explain it to me? i can't. my numbers went up. victory in florida, forcing him to drop out. >> it is clear that while we are

will not be on the winning side. >> john kasich was on the winning side at least in his home state of ohio beating trump comfortably and took all of the states delegates. his win is significant for two reasons. it is allows him to justify staying in the race and makes it difficult for trump to secure the delegates needed for the nomination before the convention. >> i thank the people of ohio. i love you. >> ted cruz said despite john kasich's when only twee to people, ted cruz and donald trump, have a shot at the nomination. >> america has a clear choice going forward. >> hillary clinton cemented her front runner status beating bernie sanders in florida, illinois, north carolina and ohio. clinton leads sanders narrowly in missouri.

has turned her attention to donald trump. >> a candidate for president called for rounding up 12 million immigrants, banning all muslims from entering the united states, that doesn't make him strong, it makes him wrong. >> it was a disappointing night for sanders who could not replicate his miraculous win last week in michigan but he sounded upbeat. >> we are doing something very radical in american politics. we are telling the truth. >> missouri is too close to call for democrats and republicans. clinton and trump are leading in their respective races but it is too close to call. if there is any winner declared, we will let you know. ben: more politics, chris christie responding to criticism that he is spending too much time out of state and on the

juliet: do you like his response? he was still on the campaign trail in florida for donald trump and did not attend the funeral of a new jersey state trooper hit and killed by a car last week. this was the third police funeral in a row that chris christie missed. >> last week before i was invited to come on monday and campaign with donald trump, the lieutenant governor and i decided she was going to attend the funeral monday. even if i decided to remain in the state i would not have attended the funeral, the lieutenant governor would have. juliet: this is one of many examples of chris christie not being governor, being mia. the head of the paternal association said this decision is predicated on selfish political opportunism. jersey city mayor started an online petition calling for chris christie to resign. ben: officials in newark will reveal their plan for testing 17,000 children for lead

juliet: high levels of lead were found in school buildings. teresa pre-always live with that story. saying this but it seems by lead in the water problem in newark is worse than originally they will begin to test 2,000 kids age numb one to 6. this has a lot of parents very concerned. in newark, information is a slow drip. resident are wondering if their children are safe to drink the water in the city. their concerns compounded by this message from the mayor who attempted to assuage fears in his state of the city address. >> student health is in jeopardy. there is nothing wrong with our water but there is something

re-change that infrastructure at the center of massive lead testing to occur in the school district's water supply. the health department and state department of environmental protection will test 17,000 students starting with 2,000 children ages numb one through 6. they will start with the youngest because they are the most vulnerable. studies have shown lead can seriously affect the developing brain. unusually high levels of lead were found in half of the district's schools. of normal lead levels are 15 b, some schools registered at 558 ppb. kids have been exposed to lead. the teachers union released these photos yesterday showing expired lead filters and at least we 10 schools. currently all sinks and drinking fountains have been shut off.

water until the problem is remedied. so much water that has been donated was donated by coca-cola and shop right and a lot of food banks but also a lot of it has come from new yorkers who are concerned about the future of these children. ben: thanks very much. and elementary school on long island is sitting across from a toxic waste site for decades. school officials and parents are just finding out about that. the department of environmental the site in jericho. a costume company does not use the cancer-causing chemicals left over from a prior business at that location. the state tec says only the ground water is contaminated, not the public drinking water. parents are not happy they were not notified sooner. >> we don't want our children on that field unless you can

them and they are safe. ben: the in contamination is limited to the industrial site. the school and neighborhood are more than likely not at risk. it is not definitive. school officials are not satisfied. they plan to do their own testing. much more still to come. we will go live to virginia as commuters figure out how to get to work in dc. imagine no subway. juliet: the entire metro system is shut down and negative be back up until tomorrow morning. we will get 60s today. >> meteorologist: here is where we start. 49 , chances are pretty good. southern clouds come in, more sunshine than anything, clouds later in the day, mild temperatures and the possibility

a swath of central and lower was under a tornado watch. many voters were heading to the polls for the illinois primary. tornadoes were reported yesterday in arkansas. juliet: let's get to mike for a check of the weather. >> meteorologist: the weather is a lot quieter. we are not far from spring, what is known as the vernal equinox. four days until that, the official flip over to spring and hopefully we will get springlike weather but it will be a little cooler than we have now. it is 49 central park, mainly clear sky, humidity 77%, winds calm in central park, winss light and variable in the tri-state region. all these temperatures at or above normal. 31 in boston, 44 in williamsport, pittsburgh 50 ,

and beyond. to the west, looking into the south, indication of what is to come. clear skies to the south encouraging. we will see more sunshine as we get into the day but eventually the warm front gets closer as does the cold front and that will bring shower chances. the warm front tries to drag through here and that could bring a few scattered showers this evening and the actual cold front forcing its way through thursday. a possibility of showers and storms, almost a 1-to punch but we just have to watch for stronger storms to get going. it is not incredibly threatening but there is a threat out there mainly thursday. today you will see not much happening, mainly clear in the

temperature 62, shower chances picking up this evening. a lot of the rain is to the northwest. tomorrow we make it to 64. the front passing by thursday into friday and that should give us scattered showers and wet weather and more to come. you are set to go. let's bring in in as. >> no issues, in queens, the lie doing well, no problems with the frogs neck bridge. on the staten island expressway things doing fine by victory boulevard eastbound and westbound. into the city, a look at the lincoln tunnel inbound, no issues, same for the holland and gwb. ben: imagine this morning's

700,000 people ride metro every day. 91 stations closed at midnight. it will remain closed until 5 am thursday but they have bus service available to riders so the gaetz just opened here but riders will be greeted with a sign that says closed. no doubt this emergency shutdown will be felt across the area. more clouds onto the road and more people piling onto buses, 400,000 people take metro bus every day. a lot of us anticipating some overloaded buses, many of them driving to work. this is causing a lot of reaction from local leaders. >> reporter: >> i am surprised to hear about the shutdown, especially they

when thousands of people are commuting from work. >> safety is paramount. we need to get to the bottom of this. >> reporter: we are talking 91 stations, six lines shut down until 5 am thursday to inspect those cable lines. if they find a problem, the specific station might be closed even longer causing further disruption. it is one of those days we have to pull together and get through this together. juliet: hopefully it doesn't last much longer. thanks very much. you are from northern virginia, thanks. i used to take that metro all the time going from there to

john kasich's win makes it difficult for trump to secure the delegates needed before the convention for the nomination. trump repriced some familiar lines as he took another victory lap. >> anyone we do business with beats us, we are going to win, make our country rich again, make our country great again. >> reporter: hillary clinton one big in ohio, north carolina and florida. it was a disappointing night for bernie sanders who hoped to win some midwestern states. he got the big win in michigan hoping to bring that back last night. clinton has turned her attention to her republican opponent, donald trump. >> a candidate for president called for rounding up 12

muslims from entering the united states, when he embraces torture, that doesn't make him strong, it makes him wrong. >> reporter: we mentioned missouri, too close to call. clinton has a narrow lead over bernie sanders. one thing i would like you to read is a great analysis in the times. the headline says trump and clinton winning voters, not hearts. that is interesting. it is a great discontent with each of the front runners. so many people holding their noses as they cast these votes. the votes are not a signal that these voters like the candidates. they are just choosing the lesser of two evils. juliet: look on facebook and social media, the one person who

people loving him and hating him and they are very vociferous in their passion. sat word there. juliet: ben: i like it. juliet: this is a terrible story that is getting uglier as we report it. the city of newark is making plans to test 17,000 schoolchildren for lead poisoning. ben: elevated levels of the poisonous element in the water. teresa pre-although following this story in the work once again. >> reporter: the question everyone has, what is going on with newark schools? a question parents are asking and they are concerned about lack of answers and information. it was once billed, this led in the water problem, as an

and state departments of health will test 17,000 schoolkids for lead contamination starting with 2,000 kids aged numb one to 6. they will start with those most impacted by lead poisoning. a big departure from voluntary testing they could opt for if they were concerned about this issue. this all came to light after routine testing in schools and half of the district schools were found to have unusually high levels of lead. the mayor discussing the issue in his state of the city address. >> our students's health is in jeopardy, there is nothing wrong with newark's water. there is something wrong with our infrastructure. it is old. >> reporter: the teachers union allegedly show expired led

2012 in ten schools. these are supposed to be changed every six month. that has not been happening for these filters. the sinks and fountains have been shut off and students are relying on bottled water until the problem is fixed. ben: the former spokesperson of the subway sandwich chain was attacked in prison. he was beaten by an inmate who had issues with child molesters. he is serving 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography and crossing state lines to pay for sex with minors. the attack happened january 29th leaving him with a blood he knows and swollen face. the attacker was put in solitary confinement.
