the restrictions relaxed. it would help ease the 50-foot rule. >> you don't have to be as far away from the next house as the current law states. but if just one of your neighbors objects, then you can't do it. >> reporter:here would be sanitation guidelines, restrictions on the number of birds and necessary inspections as well. but an informal survey of the family's neighbors say most don't seem to mind. >> i have no problem with it. i think it's great for kids. it teaches them responsibility. taking care of is something like that. and they're contributing to the environmentecosystem. >> i don't know what the big issue was about having them there. i would much rather see chickens than guns. >> the chickens themselves will give you an egg a day. you don't need a rooster. you get an egg a day from every chicken from a laying chicken. the pet that gives back. >> karen said thehickens will also eat kitchen waste that they

>> the crowds, historic. >> reporter: they directed and proufsed 9500 liberty. their two-year effort took them to t front lines of the policy protest. a controversial part of the county's immigration policy initially directed police officers to check the citizenship or immigration status of criminal suspects they believe might be in the country illegally. >> it created so much fear in the community. and there was some economic impact, that resulted from so many latino residents leaving the county. so for many different reasons, they decided to repeal this. >> reporter: the filmmakers believe the film's message will resonate in communities across the country. >> the climate of fear and hatred that they saw, like they just saw, like, okay, immigration is an important issue, but we don't want that to happen to us. you know? locally or nationally. >> reporter: in prince william county, politicians, police,

businesses and residents all weighed in. >> you have to at some point, even if it's unpopular, have to take the position of simply trying to educate people. because there was a lot of misinformation. and almost kind of, you know, at times it felt like there was a kind of hysteria. >> reporter: she compares it to some of the protests we see at health care town halls today. >> this kind of politicized hysteria is now a national approach to issues like health care, climate change, that, you know, it mirrors what we saw in the county. many of the same people are involved. >> reporter: one of the film's heroes, police chief charlie dean. >> once charlie dean was attacked, many citizens came together spontaneously to say, enough is enough. so that really became a turning point. >> now, the film premieres tonight at 7:30 at the landmark east street cinema.

thousands of physicians across the nation held a rally in washington to weigh in on the health care debate. they dubbed the event the million mad march. the group wakd up to capitol hill where individual visions will meet with lawmakers to voice their disapproval of current health care bills in congress. many of the doctors held signs to protest the health insurance public option that's now being considered. the physicians said they will keep marching until elected officials put doctors and patients at the forefront of the health care debate. some not-so-sweet news about a candy connection to crime. a study out of britain finds a link between children who eat daily sweets and those who became violent adults.

more than 17,000 people were tracked over nearly four decades. >> what we found is that kids are eating sweets every day when they're 10 years old are more likely to be arrested for a violent offense by the time they get to the age of 34 years. >> their best interpretation of the data isn't the sweets themselves that are the problem, but more the way they're given. the lead scientist said giving children candy regularly stops children from learning how to wait for what they want and push them forward to more impulsive behavior. a nationwide campaign to help feed the hungry has ended in a big, big way. the drive out hunger tour unveiled a huge sculpture made with 30,000 cans of food. this program is sponsored in part by the cheesecake factory restaurant. so the sculpture was made to look like a big slice of cheesecake. the cans will be donated to the food bank in northeast washington, where today's unveiling was held.

starting today, it's more expensive to shop, fill up and light up in the district. that's because several tax hikes have officially taken place. the cigarette tax as gone up 50 cents a pack to $2.50. and the gas tax has risen 3.5 cents. if you think overdraft fees are bad, wait until you get hit with the latest bank fee, the extended overdraft fee. >> i don't oon know what this is. liz krep shaw takes a look at what the critics are calling the anti-consumer bank practice. >> most people don't know what it is. that's what we ran into. $35 a pop for some banks. that may not be enough for overdrafts. now some banks are putting additional fees on top of the overdraft fees they charge you. you say that doesn't sound right to you? well, it didn't sound right to anthony rattler either. >> i had decided to go to walmart. and i decided to go to the grocery store.

>> reporter: so anthony rattler innocently went shopping, not realizing how much this little excursion was going to hurt his bank account. the next day rattler returned his walmart purchases after realizing he didn't need them. but too late. the purchases drove his checking account below zero for a short period of time. but that was enough time for overdraft fees to kick in on both purchases. the one he returned and the one he kept. >> i got hit with two overdraft fees. >> reporter: for how much? >> $35 each. >> reporter: but it gets worse. even though rattler returned his walmart merchandise. he says the bank told him he had five business days to bring his account into positive territory. rattler took that to mean weekdays, not weekend days. but that turned out to be incorrect, too, and resulted in a fee rattler never knew existed. the extended overdraft fee. extended overdraft fee. what is that? >> i never -- overdraft fees

i've heard of before, you know. but the extended overdraft, that was pretty much new to me. >> reporter: but not new to people at the consumer federation of america. >> tse are very short-term loans. and what the banks are saying is that if you don't pay your loan back in as little as five days or seven days, they're going to hit you with another fee. so the total amount for a single overdraft that you might pay would be $70 to $80. >> reporter: what's really amazing is the extended overdraft fees were calculated as a loan. the annual percentage rate would be astounding. consumer federation of america did a survey and found the lowest fee to be more than 1,000%. the highest close to 4,000%. congress is taking note. >> there's a growing feeling among lawmakers that lenders that are taking advantage of consumers who often have

moderate income. so the folks who are often the least able to afford it are paying the most. >> reporter: lawmakers in both the senate and house are working on legislation to curb overdraft practices. and in recent days bank of america and jp morning an chase say they're ready to make changes in overdraft fees. >> we have hard working people like me who, you know, kind of living paycheck to paycheck, that's $105 for gas money, food money, rent money. it's not -- i don't think it's fair. >> now, after complaining to the bbb, anthony rattler was able to get his fee money back from his bank. but consumers need to complain to tha lawmakers if they feel they need changing. there's obviously work happening in congress, and there are going to be some new changes. but people need to watch their accounts and they need to complain if they're upset. >> and often it's the people who

can't afford it, the hard working people like anthony there, paycheck to paycheck, they get hammered the worst. >> if you get hit with a $35 and $35, that's $70, and another $35 for not -- i mean, it just gets crazy. >> and how do you come up with that money. update on that forecast. we had a cool start to today. how about tomorrow, bob. >> it's going to be another chilly one in some spots. it will be clear skies. temperatures will rapidly drop from where they are right now. we're at 65 right now. nothing on doppler, nor will there be overnight tonight. tomorrow morning, once again into the low 40s to about the high 40s to 50 degrees in town. some spots may once again be into the high 30s. a lot of sunshine tomorrow, though, with clouds coming in, though, during the afternoon. still a nice day. a warmer day. after that, could be a few passing showers early on saturday morning. i think much of the weekend, most of it will be dry. certainly suny right now looks

like a great day, i think. next week, a chance for some more needed showers. we'll bring out some of that color. showers would help. and an overall mild pattern, after one more chilly morning tomorrow morning. back to you. >> thank you, bob. let's see what's in store at 6:00 tonight. >> hi, you guys. coming up on news 4 at 6:00, a report from the white house on the first face-to-face contact between the u.s. and iran in 30 years. also at 6:00, the empire state building was lit up last night to honor the 60th anniversary of communist rule in china. keith garvin joins us with a special report. he traveled to the african nation of rwanda. coming up in just a few minutes at 6:00. keith's report yesterday, really interesting. really a great opportunity for all of us to see what he was able to experience over there. >> sure was. great pictures, too. thanks, doreen. dan is here now with a

redskins rerun with one of our favorite players of all-time. >> hey, guys. back in the '80s, the only notable thing about the tampa bay buccaneers, those terrible cream sick will orange uniforms. the color of the perennials losers. but 20 years ago those bucks knocked the hall of famer out of the game. and had the skins on the ropes. lindsey czarniak has this week's red skins rewind." >> reporter: october 22nd, 1989, outlasting the buccaneers. the worst start a skins fan could imagine. second possession and ralph's punt is blocked by ricky reynolds. the buccaneer also recovers it and gets behind the cavalry, coasting 33 yards. 7-0 after the first quarter. the skins defense, manly in more

ways than one. second quarter, on their own 8. look out testaverde. dexter manly, part of a monstrous effort on the day holding to the bucks to just one yard rushing. >> it's an attitude. a frame of mind. you have to believe what you can do. i think all the guys up front believed in each other and believed in themselves. you have to go out and play like that. >> reporter: the attitude eventually carried over to the offense. just before halftime, a rolling mark threads the needle, a pinpoint pass to gary clark. skins lead by 5 at the break. second half, clark, robinson moves a step and clark makes him pay. skins are all smiles leading 22-7 midway through the third quarter. that happy feeling was quickly replaced by a sick one.

a vinny tess ta ver de pass, but darrell green breaks his wrist. his first major injury, ending his season. and invigorating the bucks. >> you can never afford to lose a player of darrell's caliber. he plays a tough slot position for us on their wide receiver. and he just adds a lot of speed out there. and there's a lot of things we can do defensively that when you take him out of the lineup, it limits whether you can take those chances or not. >> reporter: tess te ver de takes those chances. 225 yards of passing and the last 16 minutes. three touch joups, including this one over a.j. johnson. the time runs out on the bucks. the skins escape with a 32-28 win. >> they got me. but i'm not -- as a corner, you can't let that stuff get you. we got the win, and that's what counts. i don't care how many touchdowns they throw on me. >> i have to work hard on the stuff that i did bad today.

>> i think the defensive line all deserve game balls. charles, tracy, darrell, they all went after it and made it easy for us. >> the skins would finish 10-6 that season. just short of the play-offs. but aflt j. johnson, who had to play in place of darrell green, did get a little bit better. he had four interceptions, returning one of them for a touchdown against the cardinals. >> they looked a little volunteer orange. >> there's a big difference between cream sickle orange and tennessee orange. spoken like a true floridian. coming up at 5:00, who needs expensive stem ware. some unusual ways restaurants are using it to serve up wine. a chip led an owner to a dog who wandered away from home in northern virginia a decade ago and wound up 1,300 miles away.

take it straight from the bottle. a baby bottle. that's the way one new york city restaurant is serving wine. literally, glass baby bottles. the owner of a french restaurant got the idea from a parisian restaurant that began the trend to avoid a french tax on stemware. the baby bottles go for $8 each. and it seems to be gaining popularity in soho. the dog found in oklahoma who was traced back to northern virginia. he went missing ten years ago, and thanks to a microchip, he'll be reunited with his owner next week. this is brindle, an 11-year-old

boxer/lab mix who has lived through a harrowing journey. these are not brindle's owners, they actually found him a couple of weeks ago under a bush in their neighborhood. >> right in here. just laying there. >> reporter: brindle was in bad shape. he was full of fleas and ticks and severely malnourished. they thought he was dead. but when brindle raised his head, the 8-year-old decided she had to take him in. >> if i didn't, then he would just be siing there right now. with no family, no friends, no nothing. >> i'm just so proud of my daughter being so caring like she is. taking in a dog that was probably knocking on heaven's door. >> reporter: the family took brindle to the vet and that led to a startling discovery. the roadies live in oklahoma. the dog's home, 1,300 miles away in fredericksburg, virginia.

the vet found brindle's microchip that keeps the record of the pet's owner. gary's name came up. >> he was smart. he learned tricks really well. like i say, he learned how to open that door by himself. >> reporter: on super bowl sunday in 1999, brindle opened the door in fredericksburg and never came back. the roadies tracked down rowley on facebook and arranged a reunion. >> the owner is going to be really appreciative. makes sure he has a happy ending. >> reporter: the washington humane society says one out of three pets goes missing and the microchip is a fast, easy way to keep track of your pet. >> this is a permanent way to identify your animal, and make sure that if it someone of those one in three that goes missing, that it can get back to its home. >> reporter: usually it doesn't take ten years to reunite a p with his owner. but brindle traveled far. who knows how he made it all the way to oklahoma. >> i'm not mad at the
