i'm richard jordan at the live desk watching a developing story from hong kong. another day of massive protests that have shut down the city. these are live pictures from hong kong. protesters did set a deadline for wednesday for chinese politicians to meet their demands. wednesday is china's national holiday. that is not going to happen

according to city leaders who say they are not willing to negotiate with these protesters. the protesters demanding that hong kong's chief executive create a real democracy and resign, leave his position. this has led to pretty violent outbursts there on the streets for five days now. protesters have been blocking the main highways in downtown hong kong, disrupting traffic. g with public transportation there. the protesters say they will continue their demonstrations until they get some elections reform. this is also leading to banks and businesses closing. that will be for business in one of the world's financial hubs. the chinese government says negotiating with protesters would make them appear weak. we'll watch developments throughout the day. for now, i'm richard jordan live at the news desk. demonstrators are using the umbrellas to deflect pepper spray and tear gas deployed by local police.

the u.s. officials are urging police there in hong kong to show restraint and to stop using tear gas on citizens. a developing story right now in the fight against isis. australian authorities say they arrested a man in melbourne for helping an american who joined isis. the australian is accused of giving $12,000 to the u.s. citizen. investigators say the money was used to fund the american tra l g to syria. they do not believe the man arrested was plotting any attacks and say there's no specific threat to the public. meanwhile, syrian officials are blasting president obama. they say they have been trying to warn the u.s. about the threat from isis for three years. syria's deputy foreign minister told nbc's ann curry the assad government would welcome cop ration against terrorism. on sunday the president said u.s. intelligence officials underestimated isis and syria but the president also said stabilizing syria will only come

strict isolation right now. the virus has killed more than 3,000 people across west africa. some good samaritans were in the right place at the right time and helped to rescue a woman missing for days. >> and we heard a thump, thump, thump, and we thought it was a prank. somebody was pranking us. >> it was no prank. the mother in louisville, kentucky, was locked in the trunk of a car and the good samaritans called 911 concerned the ambulance was not going to get there in time. >> she said she couldn't breathe. so at that time i got scared, 911 still had not come, so i took a brick and broke the passenger window. >> then they popped the trunk to get the woman out of the car. the woman had no memory how she got there and they believe she may have been hit in the head by someone before being locked in the trunk. when they popped the trunk, she was having trouble breathing. >> thank goodness somebody heard

her. who knows how much longer she could have survived in there. we have breaking news right now. we'll go to melissa mollet with breaking news. we are talking about buckeystown pike at i-70 with the southbound lanes blocked and the northbound turn lanes blocked because of a crash. your alternate is 15. you'll see a slowdown out of 270 just off 70. 66 now heading in through centreville, we are typically slow here. and then it opens back up getting through the area of falls church. another slow spot, 95 out of stafford county, running 16 miles per hour. two earlier crashes causing that slowdown. the beltway at st. barnabas road looking good. no major issues elsewhere. we have fog in some spots and seeing fog off the bw parkway and 95 in maryland. where else are we seeing the fog, tom? it is just patchy fog, it is

not widespread, dense fog we have had in the past. this is just highly isolated, patchy fog we have around. and it is mainly west of i-95 that we are seeing that this morning. so as you're trying to decide what the kids will be wearing out the door this morning, what to wear today? i would say long sleeves and long pants because it's rather cool this morning. only in the low 60s right now. it will stay that way for the next several hours. and the fog will be around through 8:00 this morning. and a little sunshine breaking out with the patchy fog around. then between 8:00 and 9:00, the fog should be gone in the upper 60s and partly sunny. then during the afternoon, we have the possibility of some showers popping up. here's the timing and location of that. by around 3:00, that does appear to be in the mountains and the shenandoah valley. and i'm forecasting the showers to be moving farther to the east and breaking up a bit getting into the early evening hours. this is 7:00 p.m. maybe a few more after that until 11:00 this evening and

perhaps a lingering one tomorrow morning. when you're out with a few showers around, keep track of them with the storm team 4 weather app free on the google play store. tomorrow we have a small chance for a shower. beautiful on thursday. looks like rain coming in on friday night for the game. then saturday and sunday temperatures cooler. a big change on the way with highs in the 60s on sunday and a bit milder on monday. coming up next weather and traffic on the 1s, 6:31, a look at the latest visibility coming in. they are changing. now back to you, eun. a florida family is okay after a terrifying boating incident over the weekend. check out this video. their boat capsized trapping them in the water off the gulf of mexico. three small children under the age of 5 were tossed overboard. one man treaded water for three hours while clinging onto his

nephew. the other two children were on top of the boat waiting to be rescued. >> we kept them calm by telling them it was just like being in a pool but it was like a wave. they had their life preservers on and we held on to them for dear life. >> everyone on board survived. the exact reason why the boat capsized is not clear. the coast guard says the life jackets likely saved everyone's life in this accident. when it comes to shopping for a new car these days, people are less interested in the engine and more interested in the internet. this is according to the latest study showing their car needs internet connectivity. access to a wi-fi or 4g hot spot is increasingly important. 80% of car buyers considered it one of the most important options to have in a car. the younger the car buyer the more important the internet connectivity seemed to be. >> we were saying, this is something that is new in terms of features for a desirable car. >> i wanted navigation and a

sunroof. can i go online? >> clean works for me. a penalty from last night's nfl game. >> it came against the chiefs player as they played the new england patriots. he put his head there on the field. that's technically a violation of the celebration rule, but he was a muslim practicing traditional religious prayer. according to the league's rules, going on one's knee to give praise is exempt from penalty. you see people doing it on one knee, the tebow, for example, but this one apparently they said it was a penalty violation. >> so the league release d or will release a statement later today and probably review the call to reverse it.

initially, it was confusion over whether or not a truck backfired or a gang shoot-out somewhere near the white house. all of that comes from questioning today as julia pearson, the head of the secret service goes before lawmakers as they want to know what is going on with protecting the first family. >> we'll be looking for those answers. tracie potts live on capitol hill, thank you. and they have added extra fencing around the white house in response to the new security concerns. you won't be allowed past the fence if you go to the white house. the extra fence is temporary but we'll let you know if that changes because of the new reports. and watch the "today" show to find out details of what the secret service julia pearson says starting at 7:00 right after "news4 today." new this morning, baltimore-bound passengers on the american airlines flight 1654 are back home after an existing day of travel. a blown tire on the airplane delayed them four hours.
