this individual's arrest to the white house is not acceptable to the secret service. >> this ranks among the most unusual security breaches since the salahis managed to access a state dinner in 2009 and when a small private plane crashed into the white house grounds during the clinton administration. >> fence jumpers aren't unusual. last week a man jumped over, about eight feet. this is the first time anyone can recall someone making it all the way inside the executive mansion. another man was arrested for trying to drive into the white house grounds. friday's fence jumper is yet another blow to an agency trying to rebuild its image after a slew of embarrassing incidences including one in colombia involving prostitutes in 2012. republican congressman jason chafe fis called the white house
6:04 am
breach totally unacceptable. >> they have to get it together really fast. we can't ever let this happen again. >> that was nbc's kristen welker reporting. she did mention that other man arrested at the white house. the secret service says kevin card tried to drive through a gate. when agents told him he could not go in, he refused to go away. volunteers will continue searching areas in charlottesville for the missing university of virginia student. hannah graham vanished more than a week ago. last saturday morning at 12:15 a friend says graham left a party alone. at 12:46 she's seen walking past the pub in charlottesville. at 1:06 surveillance video shows a man fathering her. 1:20 sent from graham's phone to friends saying she was lost. that was the last time anyone heard from her. i went along with volunteers
6:05 am
this weekend as they searched the area, a search that continues today. >> reporter: shortly after the sun rose over the john paul jones arena, they were off. more than 1,500 volunteers loaded on to buses. >> i have three girls myself. this hits home. >> reporter: dropped off at strategic search zones. >> dozens of search teams like this one are fanned out across charlottesville, on their feet from two to four hours going in and out of brush like this one. most of them have no connection to hannah graham, but all of them desperate to find her. >>. >> reporter: melissa mccoy among them, on her hands and knees looking into sewers. she's not alone. her son sherrod wanted to help, too. >> i think with all of us we're going to find something.
6:06 am
>> reporter: surveillance cameras captured several by standers as hannah walked the popular downtown mall. researchers say this is the last bar hannah was in, she was in here with that perp of interest and said she left from here in that man's car. >> we were there as police took evidence from his apartment friday morning. they saw the man there but couldn't arrest him. they say they didn't have probable cause. meantime we watched searchers uncover possible evidence. >> we have located one shotgun shell unshot. >> reporter: they called it in, marked the location, also found an ipod, but still no hannah. and so the search goes on. >> locally another search is going on today one that you can help out, for jacob and sarah hoggle. >> vol teerts will be at seneca valley high school in germantown.
6:07 am
that starts at 8:30. they'll be there all day just like yesterday when you saw the story on news 4. they're working to comb that vast amount of trails, the woods in montgomery county. the children's father told us volunteers are what keeps the effort going. >> this is all them. i just -- i basically let them know what i wanted and asked them to help me and this is what they did. >> jacob is 2 years old, sarah is 3. they disappeared with their mother catherine hoggle two weeks ago. she's in police custody but will not tell anyone where the kids are. at 6:07, an overnight launch is sending special cargo to space. tracking a big dip in the temperatures. we'll tell you when
6:11 am
engines excited. we have lift off. >> that's the sound of a dragon. spacex launched its dragon capsule carrying cargo to the international space station shortly before 2:00 a.m. this time lit have a 3d printer, the first time ever carrying a 3d printer. nasa says some day the printer could be used to table failed parts of the station. they also have mutant fruit flies on board, on purpose. >> mutant fruit flies. >> as well as a mouse x ray machine. >> tall necessities. looking at the calendar, the last full day of summer sdm. >> this is it, everybody. our summer without a summer until we got to the month of september. more 90-degree days in september than we did in august.
6:12 am
a little bit of a warm finish to the summer season. yes indeed, autumn is just around the corner and just in time for the autumn equinox. cooler weather coming back. it arrives tomorrow. ahead of it, though, today will indeed feel like summertime out there. we do need the rain around here. things are starting to get a little brown and crunchy outside. but no real organized threat for heavy rain today. there's a live view from our city camera looking over washington this morning. a pleasant start. it's mild. 64 degrees in town. north wind now at 6 miles per hour. winds will eventually behind the cold front set up shop coming out of the northwest. tomorrow will be breezy, almost blustery, 15 degrees cooler than today. out-the-door weather not too terribly mild. mid 50s very common from north even and suburban maryland. 55 in wind chester, 55 in
6:13 am
frederick, gaithersburg, dull lus, manassas, leesburg. hourly temperatures, 50s and 60s now, will quickly be replaced by 70s. by about 9:00 or 10:00 this morning, we should be about 80 by lunchtime. the weather will have some impact on your day today, mainly due to the heat. also a chance for a shower and thundershower rolling in today. not looking for severe weather. if you have stuff to do outside, maybe going to the blue month fair, morning temperatures 78 degrees. afternoon temperatures mid 80s with a 30% chance of showers coming into loudoun county about 3:00 or 4:00 this afternoon. storm team 4 radar shows a different weather picture around the coastline. cloudy skies and showers from ocean city to who rob both, up to the jersey shore. that won't be bothering us. the weather chance we have, the storm chance we have comes in from the west as a cold front
6:14 am
rides in here. about 10 to 12 hours or so out of our western suburbs, so mid to late afternoon, just in time for the peak heating of the day. that's when the cold front rolls on in. there is a rain chance today but i wouldn't necessarily plan on canceling anything of your outdoor plans. i wouldn't even necessarily have an umbrella, just a few chances for rain showers rolling in. the main timing looks to be about 3:00 to 7:00 on the i-95 corridor. earlier to the west, later down to the southeast. there's your quick check of the seven-day forecast. autumn arrives tomorrow. highs from the 70s, a couple of chilly mornings to boot. >> chuck, thanks. next up is "reporters notebook," a look at stories affecting our community. >> we'll be back in 15 minutes with more top stories. good morning, welcome to reporters notebook. i'm pat lawson muse. bowser leads the pack in the
6:15 am
mayor race. 43% of likely voters choose bowser over david catania at 26%. carol sworts get 16%. dave mcdonnell, a lot of voters don't feel they know anything about these candidates. there are four debates scheduled. are those enough? >> people who love debates say you can never have enough debates. you have to find out about them. other people i talk to on the hill say debates are highly overrated. they really don't change people's opinions that much unless there's an extraordinary gaff or extraordinary moment of greatness that is part of the mix. the fact remains though, people are criticizing mural yell because they say she hadn't said much. conversely people who are supporters of catania say he's got the talent, his backers say, but does he have the temperament
6:16 am
and will that reveal itself in the polls? meanwhile carol schwartz is considering a spoiler although she's been here on news 4 saying i'm running because i think i should be. it looks like she can harm catania more than bowser. >> schwartz can play the role of, i probably don't have the votes, but maybe i can shift the debate in terms of issues to be put on the table. bowser has to play out the clock, watch out for the land mines, don't step in them. have your four debates. step off the podium and make sure you still have your 16 percentage point lead. but i do think those undecided, that 30%, you have 14% saying they don't know who they're going to vote for, another 16% who say they can possibly change their minds. that's what catania has to hold on to. >> but what are the debates? community forums, i don't know if i call them debates.
6:17 am
you know what tends to happen. in the first debate, how many people saw it? what do you take from the first debate and when you get to these meetings, what they call debates, there's usually more aides and workers from the candidates there than there are really the people from the community. >> one last questions about this poll. the police chief rated very high, 71% for cathy lanier, the school chancellor got a 52% approval rate. what do you think about that? >> obviously the candidates have to pay attention to that. if they see the residents are favoring some of these folks, either they have to come out and say, yes, we support them, or walk down that middle-of-the-road line. i think what they don't want to do, either candidate, is put themselves in a position where they're boxed in. once they become elected, they say definitely this person is staying. it may become problematic.
6:18 am
>> concealed carry on dc streets. the district proposed allowing residents and non-residents to carry concealed handguns in public if they can show they need to carry. mayor gray is expected to propose emergency legislation to set up a licensing process similar to what states have, so-called nay issue states. maryland is one of them where if you don't show a need, you don't get a permit. this is d.c.'s response to the federal judge who struck down the ban and imposed a stay to get the city more time to rewrite the law. dave, the legislation is expected to pass. but to get a concealed carry permit, you have to take a more extensive safety class and deal with more red tape. are guns rights advocates going to be satisfied? >> the issue is probably that they won't from what i'm picking up. they're never satisfied unless more and more restrictions are taken -- are relieved. however they're happy the
6:19 am
district has moved as far as it can. phil mendelson said we can't stop guns from being on the streets. we'd like to. but we'd like things as safe as possible. they will have these restrictions. it will be interesting to see if this produces anymore legal activities or sulgs to refine the issue from the standpoint of gun people and make it easier. >> it's likely to satisfy the courts, won't it? >> i don't think it will satisfy the court, one aspect of the court. someone will file a lawsuit saying this isn't what i want. gun advocates want inrestricted access. they want to be able to buy a gun, carry a gun without red tape. i see there will be lawsuits. the other thing people of the district have to be concerned about is this is going to create a new bureaucracy. you have to pay for all this. so that's a concern, too. so where is that money going to come from? i think dave is right.
6:20 am
i think quite honestly congress will probably say we like this because that will probably be one law they'll decide the pass on. >> if the city votes to legalize marijuana which it may not do, and you can carry concealed guns in the nation's capital. how easy will it be for police to police? >> i think it's going to be problematic. i think what mayor gray and the district are trying to do -- i would disagree with joe a little. i think they're trying to craft a law that it won't be challenged in the supreme court. basically the kind of law that they're crafting now, they haven't had a lot of challenges from the supreme court. they've let those go through. i think the police force, if you look at states like colorado and these states that legalize marijuana, i think they will have to look there to see what kind of problems have we had here? is there a connection of the
6:21 am
two. if i'm the police force, this is a problem you don't want to possibly see pop up. you can legalize marijuana and you can carry a concealed weapon? that's not a good combination. i don't care any way you slice that. >> push for new columbia. for the first time in 21 years there was a congressional committee hearing on a bill to make the district of columbia the 51st state. chair tom carp. only two senators showed up, dave, and only one state. and the one who left, tom coburn of oklahoma called the hearing a charade. was it? >> i guess we'll have to wait and see. if they don't do anything now and nothing happens, sure it was. it was a feel good moment paying off obligations. maybe senator carper felt certain people on the democratic caucus for the city. eleanor norton.
6:22 am
he has a good relationship with the delegate. then he said right away, i don't think this is going to go any further. it's an informational hearing to educate the newer members of the congress who may not know the issue. it's true, it's been 20 years that people had their hopes up something would move. either a proposal to give us two senators and a congress person or full statehood. they both floundered in the second half of the clinton administration when the monica lewinsky scandal subsumed everything and the clinton people fell back. even if this were to move ahead, even if you had a proposal that got through the congress, there would be a gazillion lawsuits. there are people out there who just don't think making the city a state, giving us two -- a congressman and two senators, is a viable option. >> joe, where were the other democrats? >> they don't care. it doesn't have anything to do with their constituency. the reality is everything dave
6:23 am
is saying is right. the average person outside of washington, d.c. doesn't even know what this is about. some of them think it is a state already. the reality is everything dave is saying is correct. there was an overflow crowd. that is because they were the residents of d.c. we're the ones excited about this, but outside of d.c. that's part of the problem. you live in a unique city: if you go on a property, you have a different set of laws, guns. you could be violating federal law. you can walk across the street and all of a sudden you're safe because it's d.c. law. this is the problem that we really have in this city we call the capital. >> i think it boils down to
6:24 am
politics. as dave has mentioned, if it becomes a state, you have two u.s. senators, a representative in congress, most likely they will be democrats and a republican controlled congress. a republican controlled congress is not going to give -- >> carper said one thing, the chairman, this is the only democracy where the people -- even bagdad people can vote for the legislature, they can't here. >> got to take a break. we'll be right back.
6:25 am
6:26 am
half. >> i think they need it to be gradual. anthony brown who is running for governor in maryland, he got a lot of flak for the way it was rolled out. so he sort of made it through the primary. he wants to make sure that this thing gets done the right way. and also, let's remember that president obama wants it to work ef every state, especially the state right next door to him. he also has the issue that those receiving subsidies, this is vitally important for them, that this is rolled out in a better way than it has before. the state is actually even putting out. they're having fairs, 25 i think ed case the citizens about the rollout, whereas prior to it it was only six. i think the state is doing a better job at least from a public relations standpoint of getting the word out and trying to have this work much better than the first time. >> the folks who were getting
6:27 am
subsidies have to reapply. >> or they have to wait -- >> by december 18, yes. >> dave, is this a better pr position to be in? >> we'll find out. the buzz i'm getting is that there are better personnel, better training, better equipment, more collegial -- not collegial, but it works better. they had sam of the same problems president obama had. they changed theirs. maryland is having a tough time. a lot of people saying they want to wait and see. >> this is not a pr issue. nobody in the united states of america who doesn't know about obamacare or the affordable care act. this is technical. this is a question of whether the equipment will work, whether you can sign these people up without any glitches because that's really what got anthony and brown in trouble to begin with and certainly what got president obama in trouble. i don't think it's a question of what is obamacare, what is the affordable care act.
6:28 am
>> rainy day funds to the rescue, in virginia governor terry mcauliffe and republican lawmakers are planning to tap the state's rainy day fund to help with the budget shortfall. there are no new fees and taxes on the table, dave. >> he's not a tax-raising governor. he ran on that. he also ran on implementing obamacare at the state and getting medicare involved and a lot of other things. what he believed would help budget. the republicans have stymied him up and down the line. what's the old fall back? you dip into other program ms. the state to keep going, dip into the rainy day fund. what you take funds out of you have less to spend with. he's got a real dilemma and a challenge to his legacy. >> the belt tightening going on in virginia. >> at least the republican controlled house were able to work together. remember he said the most important thing about this is their aaa bond rating stays high. mcauliffe says that is the most
6:29 am
thing about getting this through, now if they have to borrow, they get a lower interest rate. it's still going to come back in 2016 because he has $300 million worth of other cuts that the state will still have to address. they're pushing the ball down the road just a little bit. >> pat is right, it's belt tightening. teachers and professors can forget about raises, schools can forget about new projects, hiring more teachers. it just sort of puts everything at a standstill. but you hit it on the head. they've got to protect their bond ratings so they can borrow money in the future. >> got to go now. that's "reporters notebook." stay with us, "news 4 today" continues.
6:30 am
good morning everyone. i'm angie goff. >> i'm david culver. >> today is the day to get outside and enjoy it. you better make it early because some of you could get some rain. >> let's get the sunday forecast with storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell. >> david and angie, good morning once again. it's going to look like summer, it's going to feel like summer. just like summertime, we have a chance for late afternoon and early evening thundershowers coming our way as a cold front that will bring a serious taste of at tum back in the region arrived here into this evening. there's rain on the coast this morning, not going to be bothering us. that cold front coming in from the west means those rain showers offshore will stay offshore. temperatures early on your sunday morning, now 57, 64 downtown. 58 at reston town center. hour by hour today, mid 60s early this morning, mid to upper

6:32 am
hit-and-run driver. >> it's unimaginable. i can't imagine, myself, if i was to hit anybody, i would stop and see if they needed help. i wouldn't just run away from the scene. that's a terrible something to do. >> reporter: d.c. police say reeves was riding her bike and hit in this area, 8 and s streets about 2:30 in the morning. d.c. police have very little to go on. all they know is it was a light-colored suv that struck reeves and that suv probably has damage to the right front bumper. she hopes someone saw the suv that struck her daughter and will give police a better description. >> tag number, car, color, whatever. they need to find the person that did that because they took a life. >> reporter: reeves' mom isn't sure why she was riding her bike at that hour. she was 53 years old and was about to start a new job on monday. >> she was free spirited,

6:40 am
president going to the united nations, a bunch of world leaders are going to be in new york there. this is the goal of the president, to try to build this coalition. the only way to do this is to somehow get this massive coalition of countries that agree to kick in military assets including combat troops on the ground that aren't american. the president keeps insisting all last week as his general said don't rule it out, he's saying i'm ruling it out. but then you have to go find them somewhere. part of what's happening this week is the president trying to rally support in the international community. he's at the u.n. it's a chance to do that. that's why, for instance, this morning we'll get a little preview from the u.n. ambassador, samantha power. >> on that note, is it clear that is the direction he's going or is there some kind of pressure building? you talked about the mixed messages from his top general with him coming out saying, if the air strikes don't work, we wouldn't rule out boots on the
6:41 am
ground. you have two former defense secretaries criticizing obama's strategy, robert gates saying boots on the ground is the only hope for success. so in a sense, is he indeed trapping himself as gates suggests? >> it may be. because when you're saying you're doing two things, you're saying you're going to train this moderate syrieeyrian oppos. what if they're getting defeated, do you say they're defeated or fill the vacuum yourself. to put all your hope on them, you say didn't we train the iraqi army and spent billions doing that, years doing that. when they went up to put up the first fight against isis, they rolled over pretty quickly and easily and suddenly the united states is back trying to reenforce the iraqi army. that's where i think there's a lot of military planners shaking their head saying they wish the president's strategy were right, nobody wants to do this but they
6:42 am
don't think you can do this without potentially having the threat of combat troops. >> we have this movie-like trailer from isis threatening the u.s. what's the likelihood of isis planning an attack on the u.s. >> they continue to insist they note they're aspirational about this, but don't have any active plan to do this, that isis is trying to gain regional power. the real concern that the intell generals community has is the radicalization of someone here in the u.s. or someone with a west person passport that comes in and is a lone wolf. the big attack they can disrupt, it's the lone wolf attacks that are more concernsing. >> samantha power, mike mullen, former chairman of the joint chiefs. what's happening in kansas could have a huge impact if there's a governor's race there, where a republican governor may lose.
