[ laughter ] >> investigators think a patriots employee improperly deflated footballs before the afc championship game against the colts. the reports says that some of brady's claims were not plausible or contradicted by other evidence. his agent released a statement, saying it was biased and said that the nfl ran a sting operation to get brady and the patriots. the report doesn't take away the super bowl win. i'm just warning you the next story might cause arguments this morning. >> where? >> women outwork men in the

chores department. but the scales are starting to even out. that's according to researchers at the university of maryland. from 1965 to 2012 daily house work dropped to less than 2 1/2 hours a day. over the same time period chores tripled for men. but women still did nearly twice as much house work as men in 2012. in other words, the average man would need to increase his house work output by 70% to be as productive at chores as the average woman. >> okay. so i wonder if the next survey will be outdoor work or other types of nonhouse work related work that happens in the home. >> but it would be interesting, house work -- that could be included in house work. to take care of your home. >> maybe. 6:27 our time right now. we're watching a developing story involving the unrest in baltimore. a new federal investigation into the city's police department expected to be announced in the

we're following some breaking news this morning. >> a pedestrian has been struck near the national mall. let's get right to the scene and news4's megan mcgrath. what's happening? >> reporter: well i can tell you within the last half hour or so, all of the lanes of traffic here on 17th street have reopened. got a little congestion because there's some construction in the area, but it's due to the construction. not to lane closures. this after a pedestrian was struck right here on 17th street, basically directly across from the world war ii memorial. it happened while we were here earlier reporting on that flyover that's going to be happening later on today. the striking vehicle did stay on the scene. they had some front end damage.

i was able to see the pedestrian who was struck. it appeared to me he may have been a jogger. he was on the street, had some injuries there. but was conscious and talking. and was transported to the hospital. at this point though all lanes are open. keep in mind there's going to be a lot of activity at the world war ii memorial today. be aware of pedestrians in the area. with more on other traffic problems we'll send it over to melissa. >> good morning. we have a brand new crash. this just popped up. this is a report of a cyclist struck at east deer park. in the area of gaithersburg high school. beltway looking good.of the beltway is getting slow on the outer loop. look at 270 into and out of town everything looking good. in prince george's county no major issues. just the normal slow downs inbound branch and indian head highway. 66 west of ox road looking good with the light volume. tom? some of the rural areas we have a little bit of fog that's

as today. let's clarify because the pattern and practices civil rights investigation that they would launch is different than what they have already got going in baltimore. they wouldn't be looking at a specific case or they wouldn't be looking at specific officers. they'd be looking at the entire department to see if there's some sort of pattern of civil rights abuses. this is actually an investigation that baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake requested to help restore confidence in her police department. our affiliate up in baltimore got a comment from the police commissioner saying he welcomes this. that they do have fewer lawsuits and complaints but they need to prove that to the public. there were a lot of hints from loretta lynch the new attorney general about this last week and we can see an announcement as early as today. >> tracie potts, thank you. the man who flew a gyrocopter on to the capitol lawn heads to court. hughes was charged with

the social media sites like yik yak. there's no indication right now that those threats are connected to the murder. the school says it disagrees with many parts of the complaint. the student organization filed a federal complaint yesterday. the school disagrees with some of the allegations there, but takes the allegation of gender based violence seriously. the tories will govern britain for another five years. prime minister cameron will meet with the queen today to tell her he has the support following the election. early results indicate the conservative party won by a resounding victory. if you work downtown you'll be seeing dozens of planes fly over you in the day ahead. don't be alarmed though. why the world war ii era planes are taking to the sky. a new problem in gaithersburg. a crash involving a cyclist. details ahead.
