>> thanks, chuck. this morning, police are trying to figure out who beat up a man and left him unconscious outside of capitol hill. what have we learned this morning? >> reporter: not a whole lot. this is a typically bustling weekend scene here around eastern market. but yesterday morning, about this time, it was the scene of a vast crime scene investigation. i want to show you the video of that scene. we're told it was 8:30 yesterday when a man was found unconscious on the front porch of a row house on carolina avenue southeast. it was first reported that the person may have been having a seizure. but once hospitalized it was determined he was the victim of a beating. now, the victim did not live at the house where he was found. he remains hospitalized. the detectives continue their

investigation. now, joining me now is ivan and a lot of neighbors are concerned about this. >> it's a very serious incident. our first thoughts are for the family. this is a young family that lives on the hill. the wife is a teacher at the local school, so there's a lot of concern. what can we do for family and how can we help them as they recover? >> reporter: police believe this may have happened overnight. before he was discovered. and you say this area is typically still active even late or as early as 2:00 in the morning. >> we're one block from the m t metro. you have a lot of nice restaurants and things around here. but people are out walking their dogs and coming home late. it's a nice, comfortable neighborhood. people are obviously smart and cautious in the evening hours

when they're coming home, but it's -- it's been a long time since we experienced anything that's had these kind of results >> reporter: indeed. well, this investigation does continue and people are going to be a bit more cautious. back to you. >> thanks. decision 2012, a brand new ad from the romney campaign. >> medicare should not be used as a piggy bank for obama care. >> the new web video called our generation's time highlights mitt romney's running mate paul ryan and his speech with his mother in florida. the campaign event just happened yesterday. this morning, romney and ryan are preparing for a joint appearance. they'll hold a town hall tomorrow in manchester, new hampshire. it comes about a week after romney announced ryan as his vp pick, and president obama also campaigned in new hampshire.

class and talked about them turning the medicare system into a voucher like program. >> they're trying to throw everything at the wall to see what stings. t the latest is to talk about medicare. you'd think they'd avoid talking about medicare given the fact that both have proposed to voucherize medicare. but i guess they figure the best defense is to try to go on offense. >> the president says romney wants seniors to get a voucher which could force seniors to pay an extra $6,400 a year while giving the wealthy a tax break. with the first nominating convention next week, the the cities are making last minute preps. police in tampa are securitying sites that will be used by the republican national convention. officers showed off their uniforms and some of their swat gear. the convention starts august

nasa is unveiling travel plans for its rover called curiosity. the rover which touched down earlier this month will be used to help look for the building blocks of possible life on the planet. nasa scientists and engineers have chosen the spot close to the curiosity landing sieltd -- site, that's the first spot to investigate. curiosity will be sent to the

base of mount sharp a three-mile high mound of layers of exposed rock. curiosity has a lot of territory to cover. >> they landed it right where they wanted to, and from a statistical standpoint how the landing was achieved was the same as hitting from miami beach -- hitting the center of a frisbee on the 50 yard line on the rose bowl in pass tadena. >> and controlling it is tricky too. the delay to getting the signal from here to mars and back is many, many minutes. you better respond. >> stop. >> really amazing. >> good job for them. beautiful weather for the rover on mars. about 260 degrees below zero. other than that, the sky is clear. nice day for us. considerably warmer around here, but we don't have the clear sky over washington. rain drops promised to you by me

but these rain drops down here south of culpepper are reaching the ground. down here around rutgersville are definitely hitting the ground. rain drops as far north as ash landland. fredericksburg, you'll be weather long before lunch. in and around town, we might be able to squeak out around lunch time or so. but after that, rain looking more and more likely. i'm getting more and more nervous about whether the nationals can get that game in and make it complete. after 1:00, i suspect the rain drops will be a factor in the game. whether or not they can get the game in or not, i'm getting more and more pessimistic. it should add up to quarter to half an inch of rain on average. some folks down to the south of town might get more than that. unsettled weather lingers through the monday. then a weather front kicks through here on tuesday. that'll clear things out and set us up for a warm, dry, finish to

the upcoming week. for today though, mostly cloudy, showers arriving by noontime for many. highs today, upper 70s to around 80 degrees. tomorrow, cloudy and cooler. not looking for a washout of a monday. not much in the way of sunshine. 70% and climbing chance of rain today and tomorrow. and then we dry things out by tuesday afternoon. we should have the sun back in place and we'll have nice weather all the way through the rest of the week. i'll be tweeting continuous updates on twitter @chuckbell4. >> especially if you're going to the nats game. a 100 mile swim in shark infested water. >> hear from the woman attempting it as we speak. are you wasting your money on the games at the local county

they used to word tsunami when talking about the economy. how can president obama convince them the sun will come out tomorrow? join us for a great discussion. now, for a look at what's coming up on "meet the press," here's david gregory. >> thank you, chuck. good morning. coming up how about is mitt romney's decision to put paul ryan on the ticket changed the race? one thing is for sure, certainly catapulted the debate over the future of medicare in the campaign and painted a clear picture of what's at stake in november. i'll talk to martin o'malley and the governor of virginia, bob o'donnell. plus, perspective from rudy giuliani and we'll talk about the nasty tone of this race. afterward, be sure to stay tuned for my press pass conversation with former mayor rudy giuliani in its entirety. >> thanks, david. a 62-year-old swimmer is not
