responsibility to protect the citizens of maryland on a regular basis. we think this is a good thing for the count, and on the law enforcement end, we want to make sure that everybody has a safe trip here to frederick county. >> reporter: while folks are used to this kind of thing, but it's their first g-8 summit. because of the closures and kroutsds, some locals have canceled some events for the weekend. when we were coming into thurmont, there was a sign that said the yard sale planned for the center of town won't happen because of all of these events. and an officer was telling me that yesterday there was one protester who showed up early and he was here in town beating his drum. and traffic was backed up. from all of the locals who came to see him do that in the center of town. in thurmont, i'm tracee wilkins. news4. and new today, prince william county firefighters are on the scene of a massive two-alarm fire in manassas.

combat day after day at a time when their chance of coming home was less than the chance of winning a coin toss. we're thinking about what it was like for the doolittle raiders, taking off with not enough fuel to make their targets. that's what it's like. >> people with get up close and personal and can really look at it? >> come around, get a lot of good pictures, we get autographs we give to the kids, nice souvenirs, unique war birds out here as well as active-duty military. >> we've got family out here. tell me, you got the little guys, here, what have you seen, what do you think? >> we've seen a lot of demonstrations going on so far. been looking at a lot of the planes, i was coming here as a little girl my father, a retired colonel with the army. i wanted to share it with my family. it was always a great experience growing up, coming here. >> you get to go into all of the planes. >> you get to talk to the servicemen, it's great, they show you around, all the history with everything, it's wonderful. >> you guys have a great time and thanks for joining us.

you're taking a look at the last known video of trayvon martin. it shows the 17-year-old inside a sanford, florida 7-eleven in late february. he bought a drink and a bag of skittles minutes before he was shot and killed by george zimmerman. that video is part of more than

180 pieces of evidence now available to the public. florida's special prosecutor released the documents and photographs yesterday. they include never before seen pictures of the crime scene and of injuries zimmerman sustained during the fight with trayvon martin. attorneys for both sides appeared on the "today show" earlier today and argued over whether the shooting was avoidable in the first place. >> the most important piece, matt, is what the police determine it was completely avoidable, if george zimmerman would have simply stayed in his car. if he wouldn't have profiled trayvon martin and pursued him and confronted him, he wouldn't be in jail, and more importantly, trayvon martin would be living today. >> every life event or experience we can go back to one of the premises had it not happened, had he not been going to the target store, had trayvon martin not been in the neighborhood, had he not gotten out of his car. we have to deal with what did happen and try to explain that away properly and in a

courtroom. >> there's also a toxicology report for martin, which shows he had a small trace of thc in his system, thc is the key compound in marijuana. but prosecutors say his toxicology report is irrelevant to this case. this weekend, the world's richest person will be here in the nation's capital. his visit is causing some controversy. hundreds are expected to protest the george washington university graduation ceremony. the university will award an honorary degree to carlos slim on sunday on the national mall. the 72-year-old has a net worth of nearly $69 billion. critics say the telecommunications tycoon made his money at the expense of the mexican people. say he crippled the mexican economy through his business practices, and kept millions of mexicans in poverty. right now health and human

get. it's just right in the comfort zone now. not too humid, not too hot. not much wind. we've got a beautiful sky, look at the potomac river reflecting the blue sky, the capitol hill in the distance. a live view from our hd city camera on this friday morning. what a wonderful morning. right now, reagan national is at 71 degrees. the aromas of spring are in the air. a northeast breeze around 5-10 miles per hour. and the pollen count is the only problem, really. tree pollen is high. and it's mostly pine tree pollen now. and also the grass poll sn very high. so if you're suffering from sneezing and wheezing, that's probably the reason. we have the tree and the grass pollen very high. now over the last 12 hours we've had some high clouds passing over us from the south and west heading north and east. but much of the area, lots of sunshine pouring out now. and temperatures under this bright, sunny sky, hitting the upper 60s to around 70 degrees now it should make it into the mid 70s, perhaps upper 70s by

later this afternoon. we'll have a few wispy high clouds coming through. a little bit of a light northeasterly breeze, just an absolutely gorgeous, perfect afternoon. and then overnight tonight, if you plan on heading out this friday evening, we'll have a clear sky, and our temperatures will be getting rather cool. we'll drop from near 70 around sunset time at 8:17, down to near 60 by midnight. winds out of the north and east around 5-10 miles per hour. by dawn on saturday, it looks like we'll have temperatures down perhaps to near the upper 40s starting saturday morning. much of the region. but another day with lots of sun, maybe a few high clouds. temperatures near 80 degrees. then the area of unsettled weather, along the southeast coast, florida, the carolinas now, that may be getting closer to us late on sunday and into monday. maybe bringing in a few sprinkle, it does not look like until sunday night now is the earliest timing it appears now with that. otherwise increasing clouds sunday, into the 70s, monday as we get back to work and school we could have a few passing

showers, maybe some sprinkles. it looks like that may be the story off and on tuesday and wednesday as well. as we get this very weak area of low pressure coming through. it will be a little unsettled. if you're heading to the andrews air force base air show, over to prince george's county we go, there it is, just outside the beltway, andrews air force base hosting this fantastic air show. it is free, free admission, free parking. and this weekend, looking great. saturday probably the best day, near 80 degrees and lots of sun. then 70s to near 80 on sunday. this week i traveled to bethesda's carderock spring school in montgomery county to talk to the first graders about weather. they knew a lot about weather. had a great time, it was lot of fun. they asked a lot of great questions, they loved my weather book i want to thank their teacher for the invitation. montgomery county, great time. >> it looks like a great group. we'll check on the with the midday traffic with danella. >> still, lots of problems to

these? >> it's a similar type of thing, they have a built-in band. this is something can you put on over your own prepregnancy pants as you start out. >> and it's something that helps people to be able to stay in their own clothes. >> exactly. a little bit longer and very inexpensive, it can keep you on a great budget. another little item here, we have the maternity spanx. everybody knows about spanx and now they're here for pregnant moms, they have a stretchy belly, but everything else is the same and they will keep you nice and snug and bump-free. so let's maybe start with the models. >> let's do that. >> sure, our first person is sarah. sarah, come on down. and what we love about sarah's outfit is it's very versatile. she's got a great printed dress on. and she's paired it with this black jacket. which is great because she can keep it on or take it off for a variety of looks. this is a great work look. but also, if she takes the jacket off, she can wear the dress on the weekend. it's bright, printed and it's a

wrap dress, which is very adjustable. this is a great option, too, because it is something that she can nurse in afterwards. so this is a nice transitional item. >> and it looks like something she could wear perhaps the baby if she still wants to wear it. >> definitely. if you still want to wear it, a lot of the clothes now are made to transition from pre, post and after and this is a wonderful piece. thank you, sarah. >> you look wonderful. >> thank you. >> our next model is christine. and what i like on christine is that this is a very basic dress. it's a basic navy you don't have to have all black. which people often go to. but you can do a navy dress like this or maybe a gray and pair it with a fun, bright jacket. with a three-quarter sleeve so you can take it into the spring or summer or actually into the fall. and she can definitely wear it again with jeans and the white tirt. so very nice and transitional. over a basic piece such as this, paired with a nice necklace or a scarf and you can wear it over and over again.

>> dena, with styles like this, you see those in nonmaternity shops as well. if you buy it big enough, you can wear it before and after. >> we see a lot of pregnant people, i would say try to stay away from buying nonmaternity clothes in bigger sizes, because the proportions will be off. it's better invest in a couple of really good basics, but in your right size and they will grow with you. this is great and definitely on trend, nautical is so in. so christine is doing great. thanks, christine. our last model is mary, here we're doing very nice casual look. we have a very pretty printed top. which is definitely adjustable through here. it's got a short sleeve, great for work. can you layer it with a nice jacket and she's wearing a great pair of jeans. everyone needs a great pair of jeans, you know pregnancy or not. these are wonderful. >> does that have the stretch band? >> yes, the band sits under the belly. it's got a nice stretchy si y s

perfect for during and after. invest in one basic boot-cut pair. it's great for after. many women in in their maternity clothes for postpartum. she can pair this with something, very work-professional skirt. and again, she can wear that top over and over again. >> that's lovely. it's very nice. thank you. >> thank you, mary. >> good luck with your baby, it looks like it's coming soon. >> yes, mary is due in june. >> good to have you with us, everybody looks lovely. thank you and good luck to everyone. of course as you said, it's a good idea to think in terms of how big you're going to get when you first start buying those things. >> that's right. >> dena igo, thank you for joining us. still ahead, the redskins new quarterback adds a few laughs to late night. plus, regular investors are getting their first chance to buy stock in facebook. we're going to check on trading
