three new speed cameras are up and running in northeast d.c., this one is minnesota avenue. if they catch you speeding, the district can fine you up to $300. but there is a 30-day warning period before they start issuing the tickets. two of the cameras will make sure you're driving 25 miles an hour. another one enforces rules to protect pedestrians. d.c. is now operating more than 170 speed cameras. well, it's been over 20 years since metro opened a new rail line. but in just one week you'll finally be able to ride the silver line through northern virginia. today we got a closer look at its new parking garage. the wheelie/reston stop has 2300 parking spaces, 45 kiss and ride spaces and 15 bus spaces. there is also a locker room for 200 bicycles.

new video from inside a shep wreck will be evidence in a historic manslaughter trial. this is footage from the costa concordia, the cruise ship that ran aground in 2012. 22 people died when it capsized. italian officials charged the ship's captain with causing the wreck and then abandoning the ship. he'll go on trial soon for manslaughter. but right now crews are still removing the wreckage, they expect to tow the ship back to port by monday. a florida jury has slammeded a tobacco company with one of the largest verdicts ever. they're worried more than $23 billion to the widow of a long time smoker who died of cancer. jurors came to their decision late last night. michael johnson died 18 years ago from lung cancer.

his widow and family sueded r.j. reynolds tobacco claiming the company caused his death. we had an exclusive interview with the family's attorney and asked him what he thought about critics calling the award too much. >> i say to those people, let's join in and stop the tobacco industry from laughing at us while they drive to the bank with larger money bags. let's stop them -- let's put the grave diggers out of business. serious smoking is killing 480,000 people every year. people that never would smoke, people that wouldn't smoke. they spend billions of dollars on advertising. they lure our kids into smoking, our children. >> he says the $23 billion verdict is unreasonable and goes way beyond the limits of fairness. the company plans to appeal. a capitol hill press secretary is out of jail tonight after he was accused of bringing a gun to work. police released ryan shoehard this afternoon after he pleaded

not guilty to a felony gun offense. u.s. capitol police arrested him friday. they say he had a nine millimeter semiautomatic handgun in his briefcase. it wasn't loaded but there was a magazine with nine bullets. he is a house staffer that works for house republican. he says the whole thing was an accident and he could get up to five years in prison if he is convicted. a lot of folks are getting out today. we were talking. it wasn't great weather for beach. but to sit outside it was fantastic. >> the heat was in check. humidity was in check. very similar conditions for tomorrow. so if you liked today, you're going to like tomorrow. plenty of clouds around once again. more sunshine during the afternoon. we'll actually start off mostly cloudy and then finish the day partly to mostly sunny. we can't rule out an isolated shower because of that the we're having a low impact on your sunday. but most if not all of your day tomorrow will be dry. it would be light in nature. temperatures right now, well,

we're in the 70s. our high today was 84 degrees. 79 is the temperature in washington. manassas, 73 in gaithersburg. 76 in camp springs. here's the latest on storm team 4 radar. notice this rain back to the west of washington. it will stay west of the beltway for three or four hours. but after that, it's going to start to move in potentially bringing some light showers to washington around about 10:00, 11:00 tonight, midnight. so if you're out late in d.c., grab that umumbrella. it can be a small umbrella. you're already seeing some of this light rain. so unfortunately might not be the best evening to be doing a lot of time outdoors. tomorrow morning though, by 6:00 a.m., this disturbance is out of our area. waking up though to plenty of clouds. notice how future weather wants to bring in some very light showery activity. only about a 20% chance that you're actually dealing with a shower tomorrow. but still, 8:00 a.m., plenty of clouds across the area. still seeing that cloud cover

for the lunch time hours on your sunday. notice what happens though once we get into the afternoon hours. you start to see the clouds breaking up. this is when skies are becoming partly sunny. 7:00 tomorrow evening, notice how we're partly to mostly sunny and still just that slight chance of a hit or miss shower. no thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow. so here's your hour by hour forecast. 7:00 a.m., cloudy and temperature of 70 degrees. 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., mostly cloudy skies. just a little humid tomorrow. but for the most part, it will be another comfortable day relatively speaking. 84 is our high once again tomorrow. we'll hit that around 3:00. and tomorrow evening is going to be nice. partly cloudy skies. the temperature of 80 degrees. now the humidity starts to return on monday. a high temperature on monday of 86 degrees. plenty of cloud cover again on monday. partly to mostly cloudy skies. the chance of a shower west of d.c. on monday. maybe an isolated thunderstorm

on thuesday. more importantly, you're noticing that hue mud ti returning on tuesday. the best chance of rain for the upcoming week will be thursday with showers and thunderstorms. and a temperature of 92. the heat returns for the upcoming week. >> all right. it is july, after all. thank you. still ahead, rory, roaring his way to

you don't see very many people just run away with a major from start to finish. >> no. >> it could happen. >> it happens sometimes. you see it sometimes with tiger woods back in the day. we're seeing it this weekend with rory mcilroy. he was deemed the next big thing in the world of golf right after he won his first major tournament back in 2011. now at the age of 5, rory mcilroy currently has just two majors on his resume. in comparison now, tiger woods had six major tournament wins under his belt at that same age. however, mcilroy and tiger are heading in completely different directions this weekend at the british open. mcilroy trying to bring home his

first open championship. early on, it was rickie fowler actually turning heads. here he is on 11 with a long putt for birdie. he has the line. and also has the distance. fowler nails it. ricky pulled even with mcilroy but now sits in second at 10 under. not a great weekend for tiger woods. but on one, woods' approach shot is pretty good here. gets the roll. this is going to stop just a few feet from the cup. he would bury the first hole he is currently at three over for the tournament. on 16, rory showing off his short game. a long putt for eagle. and mcilroy making it look easy this weekend. that dropped in the 15th. then on the 18th. rory's approach shot, pretty much sums up his weekend thus far. it's nearly perfect. nice roll here. another chance at eagle. how about that? on 16th, rory's putt, he's going to find the cup once again for

eagle. he shoots a 68 for the round. giving him a six shot lead. he's not thinking about lifting that claret jug just yet. >> i have to think about the process and getting the process of playing good golf and knowing that if i execute my game plan the way i know that i can, making good decisions on the course, making good swings, if i can do that, i know that prize is there for me at the end. so, you know, i'm going to try my hardest not to think about it and not think about all the possibilities. but if it does happen, it will be great. it will be a pretty stellar career at the age of 5. so we'll see what happens. >> so rickie fowler is in second. minus ten. dust continue johnson, sergio garcia is tied for third at minus nine. let's move over to the diamond now. after the all-star break, every baseball player should be well rested and ready to go for the second half of the season. and that appears to be the case for brice harper. he went back home to las vegas

and tried something new with his batting stance during the break and so far it seems to be working. here is harper's old stance on the left. and the new one on the right. brice looking a lot more relaxed in the batter's box. he went 3 for 4 at the dish in his first game trying out the new batting stance. he blasted the third home run of the season. those kind of results everyone is a fan of his new batting stance. >> i think he's stood up just a touch more. to get on top of the baseball. he work on that over the break. and certainly the homer gives him some confidence. >> been trying to do something a little different. felt good. you know, just relaxed a little bit, like i said. you know, not sure if it's going to go well or not. just trying to go out there and have some fun. put the bat on the ball and hopefully keep winning ball games. >> late game last night for the os. they were out in oakland. this was the scene the last time these two teams met.

machado threw his bait in the direction of josh donaldson. that cleared the benches and got him a five game suspension. last night, manny was greeted with boos from the bay area. it's okay though. the kid gave go yard. that is a two run blast. seventh home run of the season. it gave the orioles the lead. as third baseman, he'll get the last laugh. bottom of the ninth, this three-run bomb wins it for oakland in a walkoff fashion. they top the birds 5-4. these two back at it tonight at 9:00. let's go back to the nationals now. centerfielder did he nard span one of four nationals visiting public libraries today to help support the summer reading all stars. span spent the day at an costa public library reading books to kids and answering questions as well. the nationals partners with d.c. public libraries to help get kids started reading this summer. the team also donates money and

tickets to the program. denard span doing a good job in the community along with his teammates. they play milwaukee tonight. >> thank you, jason. >> we're going to take one last check of the weather. >> for tomorrow, we're going to start off with plenty of clouds. by the afternoon and evening hours, really nice. partly sunny skies. a high temperature tomorrow of 84. very similar feel to how it was today. maybe an isolated shower tomorrow. most if not all of your sunday is dry. heat and humidity come back. >> here we go. >> yes. >> that's going to do it for us. "nightly news" is up next.

on this saturday night, field of devastation. we take you to the sprawling field of wreckage of malaysia flight 17 amid allegations that pro-russian militants are hampering the investigation into who shot it down. ground invasion. the death toll is mounting as israel pushes deeper tonight into gaza. we show you why the desperation there is growing. wall of flames, a massive wildfire in the west is gaining intensity scorching homes in its path. and firefighters are struggling to contain the inferno. and, close encounters of the giant kind. why these whales are so close to shore crowds can
