usually you think of an accident involving a bicycle and a vehicle as occurring on the road. this was very, very firmly on the bike path. i'm joined now by officer don godhart from fairfax county police. can you tell us please what your investigators at this point have been able to determine what happened and what injuries do we have here? >> shortly after 4:00 this afternoon, police responded to the area of northbound route 29 or lee highway at the intersection of forum drive for report of a crash that had taken place. officers arrived on the scene and discovered an suv was traveling northbound on 29 and crossed the median for an unknown reason and crossed all lanes of forum drive, went up on a bike path paralleling route 29 where the suv came into contact with what we believe to be a juvenile male on one bicycle. unfortunately and tragically, the teenaged bicyclist is deceased on the scene as well as the driver of the suv. >> reporter: i understand that in addition to that, there was a

young female teenager who is very, very lucky. >> yes, preliminary investigation would indicate the female bicyclist was traveling in front of the other bicyclist. somehow or another, the suv missed her and struck the male bicyclist. >> reporter: officer, thank you for joining us this afternoon. what we can tell you is at this time many streets in this area around the fairfax county government center are closed while police investigate exactly what caused this terrible accident here this afternoon. back to you. >> jackie bensen reporting from fairfax county, thank you, jackie. they expected a big selloff on wall street today but it didn't happen. investors saw a rebound in the final minutes of trading today. there were concerns this morning as the dow jones average dropped more than 100 points in the first few minutes. but by the closing bell, the dow finished up more than 125 points. the nasdaq was up 25. it closed at 2,229.

the s&p 500 picked up 16 points. it closed at 1,087. brian moore is on capitol hill now with more on this. >> reporter: it was a rocky week on wall street. here on the hill, democrats scored a long-awaited win. a day after the biggest stock drop of the year, bargain hunters saved the market from another massive selloff. but wall street is still worried about the european debt crisis and whether the ripple effects are headed here. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> reporter: in washington, democrats applauded the senate's passage of the financial reform bill, which now has to be combined with a similar version passed by the house. >> it's hard for me to think this is going to take us more than a month. >> reporter: some feel the bill will stifle investments. >> it unnecessarily restricts credit and will make our country less competitive. >> reporter: some say it doesn't go far enough. >> it's almost like congress

didn't want to do any legislating and just left to it the regulators to fill in all the blanks. >> reporter: as president obama ordered new fuel standards for heavy vehicles, he promised a greener economy is a stronger economy. >> if the nation that leads in the clean energy economy will lead the global economy and i want america to be that nation. >> reporter: amid hopeful signs of recovery, lingering reminders that the u.s. economy is still idling along. the latest numbers point to an economic turnaround, but a slow one. live on capitol hill, i'm brian moore, news4. >> thank you, brian. a southeast washington man is in court at this hour being charged in the murder of his mother. the victim was found dead in her home on fourth street southeast yesterday. authorities say the man suffers from a mental illness. police were called to the scene after the man's brother, who was mentally disabled, was scene jumping from a second-story window. derrick ward join us from d.c. superior court in northwest.

derrick. >> reporter: good evening. we understand the suspect in this case is 24-year-old christopher martin, believed to be a son of the woman who died. he's due to appear here in d.c. superior court to be arraigned in this incident that happened, was discovered yesterday on fourth street southeast. court documents that we have obtained tell that the victim suffered multiple stab wounds. however, it is unclear at this point because of the level of decomposition of the victim's body. but those wounds appear to have been administered to the face and the neck. we are also told -- we also learned from court documents that the son who is a witness told a neighbor that, quote, my mother is dead, she's been dead for a long time. he also went on to tell a neighbor that, my brother did it, my brother hit me, my brother killed my mommy. another witness tells in court documents how that person had been in that apartment before the body was discovered and noticed that they did not see the woman who died but they did

see christopher martin, the man who is the defendant, and that he had a wound on his hand which he attempted to conceal. we are waiting for his arraignment on second-degree murder charges. there's also a failure to appear charge. again, 24-year-old christopher martin believed to be the son of the dead woman, charged with second-degree murder. in the court documents, the woman is only identified as jane doe. they do believe they know the identity. but they aren't able to make a positive identification at this time. back to you. >> derrick ward, thank you. an assistant coach with a professional hockey team is facing sex abuse charges tonight. i follows an incident at a d.c. hotel. it happened last night at the mayflower. police say mark hardy and a relative, as its described, were out drinking. they returned to their hotel room to go to sleep. the victim told police that she awoke to find hardy

moved in during the late afternoon, early evening. what we're going to have this weekend -- it's going to be seasonably mild but wet at times. that will at least help the pollen count. i know a lot of you with the warm weather found yourself outside exercising. the pollen count, 179. today now high with birch making up 93 of that total count. d.c., sterling, prince georges county, man nassas at 81 degree. a nice evening. we've got rain posted for both days of the weekend. i'm going to detail when we've got the best chance for wet weather and talk about how much. and then as we get to memorial day weekend, not just a warm pattern but a hot pattern. we've got those temperatures coming up. >> thank you, veronica. fairfax county police are warning people about an unusually high number of copperhead snakes that have appeared this spring. what makes the snakes so

dangerous is they're often hard to spot. >> reporter: it's not so unusual to see creatures venture out once the weather gets nice. but it is unusual to have people reporting so many run-ins with copperhead snakes. one of the three venomous stakes in virginia this early in the year. this is the snake to look out for. this copperhead calls the national zoo home but can be found all over virginia. >> as it gets warmer and warmer. they'll start dispersing. males will try to court females. >> reporter: fairfax county officials say in the last three weeks, it's a problem that's peaking way too early partly because copperheads blend so well with their surroundings. >> the color is very much like leaf litter. if they're in leaf litter,

they're very hard to spot. if they're out on bare ground, they're easier to see. >> reporter: while the venom is points nous, it-- poisonous but rarely fatal. >> just look for places where they can hide. they might be under logs. they might be under rocks. just be very careful. kind of scan the area you're going to walk in. >> reporter: the experts say if you do come in contact with a copperhead snake, you shouldn't approach it. back away and let someone know it's there. if you are bitten by a snake, you need to get medical attention right away. erin gilchrist in fairfax county, news4. to report a copperhead incident, contact the fairfax county wildlife biologists. 703-324-0240. that lion cub that was born at the national zoo just a couple of days ago has died.

that's a picture of the cub's mother there. it was a male cub born on tuesday morning, the first lion cub born at the national zoo in 20 years. lionkeepers noticed the cub wasn't responding to his mother. so they moved her outdoors to get a closer look at the animal. they found a blade of straw in the lungs of the cub and that led to pneumonia. that cub died last night. the zoo calls the death in their words, a one in a million fluke. coming up on news4 at 6:00, two big construction projects in our area could cause problems for drivers this weekend, big ones. more than 20 new york schoolchildren taken to a hospital after a school bus crash this morning. there's no information about what prompted a plane to make an emergency landing at dulles international airport last weekend. some complaints from students prompting changes to a program that offers young adults free condoms. it's the nats and the os down at the park.

after ten weeks of violent protests, the prime minister of thailand today said order has been restored to his country. he also made an emotional appeal to the nation to heal its political wounds. one senior adviser says the prime minister is under growing pressure to call elections to prove that he has popular support. on wednesday, government troops cleared out protesters. there were riots and dozens of buildings were burned in bangkok. there's also less tangible losses to tourism and other industries. three mothers who went to iran in hopes of winning the release of their children are on their way home now without them. shanebar, josh fital and sarah shores are accused of espionage.

the mothers also had a surprise visit from five iranian women whose husbands were arrested in iraq in 2007. the iranian women said the americans are being treated better than they were by the u.s. late today, the american mothers left iran days earlier than expected. they did not want to comment on their visit. their lawyer says the women were willing to stay longer in hopes of meeting with high officials. but in his words, the conditions were not right. globs of oil described as thick as latex paint have washed u on the beach at a popular louisiana resort community known as grand isle. that beach has been closed. it's adding to worries that the crude oil is beginning to reach the shoreline. in the meantime, the latest effort to cap the broken well could come in the next few days. jay gray joins us now in venice, louisiana, with more. jay? >> reporter: i think most here would agree whenever it comes, it's not soon enough.

they are closing beaches here along the louisiana coast because of the oil. officials in washington are now pushing bp to give them all the information regarding the spill. and engineers here are gearing up for their first attempt after more than a month to try to stop the leak. live streaming pictures from the floor of the gulf are a constant reminder of the magnitude of this disaster. >> from the beginning, we've really been aggressive in trying to make sure bp meets their responsibilities in terms of this response. >> reporter: bp goes into the weekend facing allegations that for months now executives haven't provided real information about the amount of oil leaking from the fractured well. >> we are all very concerned about what the amount of oil is that's actually been emitted. we've been fighting this spill for a month now. >> reporter: there's a push from the white house to release all the data about the spill and the demand from the epa to find a less toxic dispersant to try and break up the slick.

but the most important task could come as early as sunday when crews hope to begin a top kill, pumping mud into the leak to jam it and sealing the riser with concrete. >> this is a thick,viscous mixture of fluid that weighs roughly twice the density of water. we'll pump it at a high rate to overcome the flow and ultimately bring the oil to stop flowing. >> reporter: right now at the source, engineers have backed off estimates that they're capturing about 5,000 barrels a day. they now believe it's closer to about 2,200. while on the surface, thick black oil is soaking the marshlands. and messy globs of oil are washing up on the beach at grand isle. today officials closed the area to start the clean-up. >> when the water recedes, you can see the oil sheen. >> reporter: an ominous glow. a reminder the problems here will be difficult to wash away. while that sheen is a major concern, a bigger worry is the

crude that is threatening the shoreline. one other concern, bp has announced they won't try the top kill until tuesday or maybe even later next week. live in venice, louisiana, i'm jay gray. back to you. >> seems to get worse and worse. thanks, jay. more than 20 students are recovering in new york city after a school bus accident. officials say the bus collided with a car. emergency crews had to pull the children from the bus and carry them to waiting ambulances. seven of the students were seriously injured but none of their injuries is believed to be life-threatening. 17 others have minor injuries. three adults were also hurt. coming up tonight, the security system in that museum in paris where all those valuable paintings were stolen might have been broken for we

firefighters near los angeles finally have a 900-acre wildfire under control. it started yesterday in the hills of east corona, california, and quickly grew throughout the night. it took about 125 firefighters to bring the flames under control. no injuries were reported. officials say the flames were started by a tractor that hit a rock. the tractor was plowing weeds for a fire-prevention measure. oops. things must be very dry. >> right. they are out there. you guys have big weekend plans? >> sure.

they don't include rain, however. >> what are you doing on sunday? you might have to change what you're doing on sunday, especially sunday morning. that's the wet period for us this upcoming weekend. as far as today goes, touch of humidity in the air and the pollen count way up today, too. it's running high. mostly for birch. we'll talk more about that later but out there, you probably notice the high clouds covering the area. more will be moving in during the overnight period. we started out at 58 degrees. that's mild. we got up to a high today of 86. well above the average of 77. today, in fact, was the warmest since going back to last friday when we were up to 89 degrees. now things are cooling off a little bit. plenty warm outside. 80 at reagan national airport. relative humidity at 42%. we have that wind, that warm flow out of the south at 10 miles per hour. montgomery county, gaithersburg, you're temperature, 80 degrees.

dew point, dry. great fall, virginia, now at 79. let me take you to herndon, virginia, you folks are around 80 degrees. here's what's been happening over the last couple of hours. high clouds have been moving in. but west, more storms peppering michigan and through indiana. in fact, some real heavy storms, heavy rain as well as a severe thunderstorm watch that is in effect up there until 9:00 p.m. same thing for areas around albany, around macon in georgia and just down south, montgomery and up toward tuscaloosa, more powerful storms. severe weather just continues to move through the deep south. i'm going to take you to missouri right now. sedalia, missouri, where powerful storms moved through thursday evening. take a look at this rotation. officials sounded the sirens to warn residents. luckily there was no damage or

injuries. but, again, all part of the same weather system that will be moving this way. so i don't think that we're going to see any severe weather around here. but one thing is for sure, we might have an isolated thunderstorm or two late saturday night early sunday. here's the weather pattern. still that big ridge over the eastern half of the nation. the dip there is what moves in for tomorrow. but more importantly is the weather pattern for wednesday and the end of next week that's going up to memorial day weekend. real hot. the ridge will continue to build all the way up to canada. i'm going to keep my eye on a storm system coming through the bahamas close to the outer banks. that could be a system tropical in nature with heavy rain and high winds. hurricane season starts june 1st. right now, it looks like it could be a very active season. coming up on thursday, tropical prediction center will issue their forecast that takes us through november. next 48 hours here, clouds continue to increase. dry tomorrow morning. rain starts about 3:00, 4:00

p.m. we've got only a 40% chance. saturday at best day out of the weekend. then the wet period for us is early sunday up until about noontime, perhaps as late as 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. high clouds, comfortable. 82 to 75 degrees. and then by early tomorrow morning, partly cloudy skies, little bit of filtered sunshine. going to be dry. 59 to 62 degrees. and then your high temperature for tomorrow only up to 77. but that is still seasonable. we've got a weekend with seasonable temperatures and some wet weather that will be coming our way late in the day through the first part of sunday. high on tuesday of 81. and then again, getting hot, 88 to 89 degrees. maybe even 90 by friday. >> thank you, veronica. coming up in your next half hour of news, authorities are trying to figure out how a car crashed in the roof of a maryland house. the beltway is getting an

emergency facelift this weekend but it could mean big bag-ups. we'll tell you about it coming up. and the district is making a change in a program that provides free condoms to students. they're making the change after a number of complaints. coming up in sports, we catch up with former heavyweight champion riddick bowe. and we hear from the two players the wizards could select in the nba draft. and it's the nats and the os. the battle of the beltway down at nationals park.

the latest now on our top story tonight. two people killed in an accident involving an adult in an suv and a teenager on a bicycle. >> that crash happened just after 4:00 on a bike trail near lee highway and forum drive in fairfax county. the driver of the suv and the bicyclist have both died. jackie bensen joins us from the scene now with the latest. jackie? >> reporter: we're told the bicyclist is about 17 years old. lee highway here behind me, one lane is still closed but the others are open at this point. over at the scene right now, a fairfax county fire engine vehicle has responded to the scene here. they are actually going to have

to extricate the driver of that suv from the vehicle. again, we don't know whether that's a man or a woman. we don't know their age. we know the driver of the suv a an adult, dead on the scene here as well as the teenage bicyclist. police tell us that what happened here is the suv crossed four lanes of lee highway including the median and plowed up on to that bike path where the teenager and another teenager, a girl about 14 years old, were riding their bikes. the 14-year-old girl wasn't hurt but we understand the suv literally brushed her before it crashed into a tree when the driver was killed. fairfax county police investigators are here on the scene trying to determine exactly what happened. that may include an autopsy and toxicology, various test on the driver to try and figure out what made this vehicle hop across the road like that and plow into that bike path. back to you. >> jackie bensen reporting from

fairfax county, thank you, jackie. closures on a stretch of one of the area's busiest highways could mean serious back-ups for drivers this weekend. the closures are on a stretch of i-95 on the virginia side of the wilson bridge. >> that part of the beltway just west of telegraph road will be reduced to one lane. officials are predicting back-ups of 10 to 15 miles. julie carey is in alexandria with that story. sounds ugly, julie. >> reporter: it's the calm before the storm. the source of the expected bottleneck, that section of the inner loop that crosses over cameron run. it's going to get an emergency makeover of sorts tonight, expected to have a big impact on traffic. >> the message is stay away, do yourself a favor, avoid the headache. >> reporter: stay away from the beltway's inner loop in alexandria. that's the advice this weekend for travelers and locals alike. here's why. this 40-year-old section of

interstate near telegraph road has come to resemble a concrete quilt. it has been a big problem for motorists. potholes regularly claim tires and the concrete is so degraded, it won't hold patches anymore. there is a replacement bridge on the way, but -- >> the intention was to kind of bide the time until a new bridge opens late this year. but the decision was made, the problem is too bad. >> reporter: the makeover starts at 9:00 tonight as the inner loop is narrow from three to one lane. special quick-drying concrete will be poured into a new slab. the lane restrictions could last until 5:00 monday morning. >> if folks don't heed the warning, we could be looking at double-digit back-ups. >> reporter: electronic signs warn drivers coming south from baltimore to take the beltway west over the american legion bridge.

but even if 40% of traffic is diverted, back-ups could stretch 10 to 15 miles. that's why this maryland man who travels the inner loop to get to alexandria has a new plan for this weekend. >> i won't go across the wilson bridge, that's for sure. >> reporter: travelers trying to pass through might face the biggest problem, many who live near the beltway already avoid it. >> i used to travel it every day going to work and once i retired, i said, that will be the last of that road. so i'm out of there. >> reporter: so again, 9:00 tonight the lanes start to constrict possibly until 5:00 a.m. monday morning. this is still all part of the telegraph road interchange that's been reconstructed after the wilson bridge reopened. that's supposed to be done sometime by 2013. back to you now. >> julie carey, thank you. there's news tonight about that emergency landing at dulles airport on sunday night. united airlines flight 27 was bound from new york to los angeles when a cockpit fire forced the pilot to land in

virginia. federal safety investigators said today that the fire was concentrated in a piece of window-heating equipment. that was the subject of a safety warning three years ago. the ntsb said today that two fire extinguishers were required to put out the flames there. there were 112 people on that plane. nobody was injured. police say fairfax county -- trying to figure out how a woman accidentally crashed her vehicle onto the roof of a house. it happened in the 10300 block of harmony road in myersville last night. a woman drove off a steep driveway and onto the roof. the rear of the vehicle remained on the ground. the woman's 10-year-old son was in the vehicle with her. both were taken to a hospital but both are expected to be okay. nobody inside that house was injured. the district government has several aggressive campaigns to

fight sexually transmitted diseases. it hands out nearly 4 million condoms every year. but the city's decided to change brands to one that's more popular with young people. tom sherwood reports. >> reporter: the city's plan to distribute a more popular condom to encourage more use went easy approval on city streets. >> i think that's a great thing. i think it's good because it will reduce the std rate in washington, d.c. >> i think it's a great idea. educating people on sexual education is very important preventive measure for early births and whatnot. >> this is the ever-popular magnum. >> reporter: the trojan gold condom was the preferred choice in a recent survey of sexually active young people. >> the condoms that the d.o.h. offers in schools were not a brand that they recognized nor that they trusted. >> reporter: there are all sorts of condoms. the city was mainly passing out the durex brand. but it switched.

although there's very little actual difference in quality. >> we look at the difference between the durex and the trojans, there's no difference in the quality or the size. it's really around what the youth know and trust and will use. >> there are the magnums. >> reporter: at the whitman walker clin, community workers say switching condom brands is worth the time and slight additional cost. >> it's about getting people to use condoms. all condoms come in different sizes. people have requested the trojan brand and the trojan brand is very, very well-known. >> reporter: health advocates say making condoms available is not condoning or judging sexual practices, just acknowledging that people are sexually active. >> important for people to not just be as careful as they can when they are having sex but also to make sure that they get tested regularly for all types of stds, including hiv. >> better to be safe than sorry. >> reporter: tom sherwood,

news4, washington. about 3% of district residents are infected with the hiv/aids virus. the city recently received a grant to help distribute free female condoms to help fight sexually transmitted diseases. coming up tonight, investigators looking into that art heist in paris now say the museum's alarm system may not have been working for weeks. europe's longest bridge had to be closed because authorities say it's too wobbly.

officials now say that the alarm system at that paris museum that was robbed had been malfunctioning for weeks. five paintings worth an estimated value of more than $100 million were stolen yesterday. >> reporter: police here in paris say that the lone masked thief was caught on camera as he broke a window into the museum, snuck in, stole the paintings and left without ever tripping an alarm. the guards on duty overnight say they didn't hear or see a thing. officials now say that the motion detectors in the museum had been faulty since march. >> 88% to 89% of museum thefts usually have some type of insider situation going on. it's not always the curator or maybe an employee. >> reporter: five paintings were

stolen including a matisse and a picasso estimated to be worth more than $100 million. right now, a special police brigade here in paris is poring over the frames left behind looking for forensic evidence while interpol is contacting law enforcement officials around the world. the hunt for these paintings is on. >> experts say whoever stole those paintings is going to have an awfully difficult time fencing them because they're just too hot. let's get another check on our weather. too hot outside today for a lot of people? >> well -- >> not for me. >> and not for me either. but for some folks, they took advantage of the warmth, they got outside. maybe a little torture if they suffer from pollen because the pollen count was up, 19. yesterday was moderate. birch now making up most of that at 93 grans per cubic meter. what can you expect this weekend? it's going to be cooler across

the area into the 70s. right now, we're at 80 degrees. winds still out of the south. then a light wind out of the southwest later this evening. partly cloudy to mostly cloudy by sunrise tomorrow. start will be 62. the finish for the afternoon, 77. only a 30% chance of getting afternoon showers tomorrow. better chance of rain comes the first part of sunday. the high will be 74. and then 75 for monday and 81 for tuesday with still some unsettled weather still sticking around. right now, the wet period, early sunday, plan accordingly. then we're up to about 88 to maybe even 90 degrees the rest of the workweek. coming up, i'll tell you what chuck berry and crab cakes have in common. >> oh, my. thanks, veronica. europe's longest bridge has been shut down because authorities say it's just too wobbly. authorities have closed a span that crosses to volga river in russia. a strong river current caused by

melting snow loosened one of the bridge supports. the $80 million bridge has only been opened since last october. right now, authorities are trying to figure out what to do next. you'd figure that's probably normally measured in millimeters. never seen anything like that. >> no. what's up? >> talk a little baseball. can we call this a rivalry with the nationals and the orioles? you have to be good, don't you? how can you hate the team you've rooted for for so many years? so many people have rooted for the orioles. >> some did. >> hakem dermish is live at the park. he will answer that very question for us. and the top two prospects in the nba draft strutting their stuff at the combine in chicago. one of these two guys will be playing for the wizards.

i used to love me some baltimore orioles back in those days until angeles came in and totally blew that team apart and destroyed one of the most storied franchise, in my view, in major league baseball. >> we could have a rivalry, sounds like, under those circumstances. >> they have not been the same since then. they just might have more fans at nationals park than they do in baltimore. their fan base there is eroding. nats hosting the os downtown. they will be doing so without willy tavarez. as a team, the nats hitting pretty well lately. they've scored 12 runs in their

last two games against the mets. hakem dermish down at the park. the orioles and the nats obviously heading in opposite directions with the nats slightly ahead of schedule and the os, the os just terrible. can we possibly even come close to calling this a rivalry yet? >> reporter: no. jim riggleman agrees with jim vance. he was asked if it was a rivalry. and he said, both teams have to play better for this to be a rivalry. jim riggleman last night said, we played terrible and sent a message to his team saying, playing not smart is unacceptable. he said playing smart is just unacceptable. it was a rough night for jim riggleman and the nationals. good reason to scratch your head. the miscues happened early. ian desmond can't handle the throw. later on, guys getting picked off first base. nationals just not playing

fundamental baseball. throwing it away. not making catches. struggling to field ground balls. really just uncharacteristic of this team as of late because they had been playing good baseball. but no big cause for concern. the nats just had a bad day at work. >> it was one bad game. 21-21. we've lost 20 games before last night, same outcome. we played like crap but it's going to happen once every now and then. >> that's just a blip on the radar. it's one game that we played bad. you're going to have those days some days. >> if we get a good outing from scott olsen, we have a chance to win the ball game f. we don't, it's going to be tougher. i know our players will respond professionally and give a good effort. but it comes back to pitching. >> reporter: and scott olsen on the mound tonight for the nationals and also one note, ryan zimmerman sitting on 99 career home run, hits one tonight, 100, hitting a milestone. dan, also i stopped nats' owner

mark learner in the tunnel and asked him about his mishap when shagging balls yesterday. he said, i'm doing all right but could be doing better. >> we talked about that last night. they said that was a pretty gruesome thing. he's fine, though. riggs really lit into the team last night, didn't he? >> reporter: he did. he said, we didn't give the fans their money's worth. they came out and played really poor. it was uncharacteristic of the team. the orioles, the worst team in the major leagues and now there's rumor that dave extremetrembley is on the hot seat. >> hakem dermish at nationals park, hakem, thank you very much. turning our attention to the wizards. there was a little wizards facebook mishap today. a wizards employee posted on

facebook that john wall will be the team's number one pick. then he wrote, if you want ticket, e-mail me. the posting was soon taken down. the wizards spokesman said it was a case of an overzealous member of the sales staff acting on his own. john wall is expected to be the wizards' pick. here's wall on the right and evan turner on the left. they are considered the top two prospects in the nba draft. they did not take part in the scrimmaging at the nba combine. there's flip saunders hanging out with pat riley. wall played light one-on-one. but they clearly weren't going very hard here. both players should be stars in the nba. the wizards will have their choice of either one. >> i think either way, depends on what they're trying to do with arenas. me and john joked about going one-on-one and duke it out there. but i think it's about the fit.

three years from now, it's not going to matter. >> they want to know how i'm going to help the community and make the organization better and how to be a point guard and try to be a leader. i told them, the same situation i was in, making them better and making my teammates better. i want to develop as a player and get better. >> you're both athletic. john is an extraordinary athlete. you tested out as high as anything in all the testing around here. but they're both somehow -- evan's the same way. one, we can't go wrong whoever we take as far as the number one pick. >> flip saunders really likes john wall. riddick bowe, you guys remember him? during the early '90s he was one of the most lethal heavyweights out there. the only man who beat evander holyfield twice. he retired at 29 years old and

in his own words, things spiraled out of control. he got divorced, spent a year and a half in prison and filed for bankruptcy. bowe is now on the comeback trail. he's an instructor at l.a. boxing in northern virginia. he's having some fun and the students obviously love him but teaching is a new thing for bowe and he's improving by the day. bowe says he would like to fight again if the price and the opponent were right. he's 42, by the way. he also would like to find a way to keep his ft. washington estate that is currently in foreclosure. includes his own workout facility and a 26-car garage that used to be packed but now sits empty. bowe lost almost everything. what happens to former boxing champions? tyson, you, holyfield have all fallen on hard times. what happens? >> people swindle you and things of that nature.
