right now on "news4 today," it's finally going to happen. can you believe it. metro's new bus hub about to open. what that means for passengers in just about an hour. plus, another major loss for a family mourning the death of a love one. the defb station they came home to after a funeral. well -- >> good morning. -- welcome in on "news4 today." i'm adam tuss. hope you're having a great day so far. and another welcome to you on this sunday morning. i'm adam tuss. >> i'm angie goff. thanks a lot that you could join us. the long awaited transit center

is set to open. it's something you've been followed closely. >> absolutely amazing. absolutely set to open in just about an hour. a $340 million project will welcome commuters. the transit center has been delayed many times due to construction. we're going to follow this story for you as the morning goes on. obviously, the weather's going to be an issue. >> we want to stek in with storm team 4's tom kierein. hey, tom. >> good morning. as you take a morning walk with your dog, taking a morning stroll, you'll notice as the drier air has moved out. humidity has moved. the tower camera looking off in the distance, you can see clouds forming in the area. off to the east is the bright

planet venus. i took this a couple of morning's and you can see it playing peekaboo with the clouds now. storm team 4 radar, you might have a few scattered sprinkles. close-up high definition radar, high resolution not showingny rain anywhere in the vicinity, this front pretty much coming through dry this morning, bringing in cooler weather. right now in the low 60s in the panhandle of shenandoah valley. look at oakland down to a chilly 46. and some of that cooler air is going to be moving in today. metro area, right now we're in the upper 60s. right downtown near 70. right around the upper 60s to right around 70 degrees. a look at how long this fresh change will last. we're going to say good-bye to summer in september. that's coming up in a few minutes. >> thanks so much, tom. in a few hours a million cubans

are expecting to watch pope francis deliver mass in revolution square. mass starts at 9:00 this morning. then this afternoon pope francis will meet with cuban president raul castro and his brother fidel. he called on both countries to do more to normalize the tide. and we do want to remind you we've got you covered for three days, just three days. we're going to bring you breaking news alert apps when he gets here and all the traffic delays you may experience. >> there are going to be plenty of those. here are four things to know to travel around town once the pope gets here. as angie mentioned, he'll be here on tuesday. by far, the most disruptive day will be wednesday from a road and metro executive.

the brookland station is going to be extremely busy and the red line will be particularly crowded. as the pope moves around town, there will be rolling road closures. we know some details about his movement but there are some things we just don't know. if you don't have a ticket to the canonization mass, your best chance to see the pope is o at his public parade. busy, busy, busy. >> mm-hmm. tragedy in prince george's county. they lost their home in a horrific fire. two firefighters battling the blaze are also recovering this morning. "news4's" darcy spencer has more from the scene. >> reporter: these photo shoes the heavy fire and thick black ceremony that virtually

destroyed this home on endicott place on n springdale. no one was hope. that's because they were here at ebeneezer church. they were at a funeral of this man whose home burnt. . at that time no one really knew. >> they quickly found out the worst. the fire was reported around 1:30 in the afternoon. flames were shooting from the top floor and roof. his widow and other loved ones raced from the home. as the firefighters worked to get flames under control, they spent the afternoon comforting one another and receiving guests. >> this is very difficult on the day that you bury one of your relatives, you also learn that your home, which is probably the second most important thing is

also gone. >> two firefighters were taken to the hospital, one for electrical shock, one for minor burns. the heat from the fire was so intense that it melted the siding on both sides of the home. >> the other question is what next, you know. things have aha t tendency of happening in threes. we hope that's not the case. >> investigators are still trying to determine what caused the fire. but right now there's an estimate 2d $00,000 in damages. a funeral will be held this morning for a young girl who was killed by a drunk driver. 25-year-old samantha sumter's car. witnesses say they were yelling out of the window hang beer. the funeral is this morning at

11:00. it took d.c. police less than half an hour to find them. police chased down a car and arrested steven pew and more rico knight. both are facing first-degree murder charges. shortly after that arrest they found dean tray ee gram shot and killed. this is the same place a man was shot while sitting on a metrobus last month. so far no arrests in this case. police are offering a $25,000 award for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of this homicide. we're get nug numbers showing the devastation caused by two wildfires in the northern part of the state. 1,000 homes have been destroyed so far. 6,400 others are in thefire's

path. five people have died. they're still working to get these fires under control. looking at the day ahead, the maryland didn't of ail aig culture will spray for mosquitos. you're going to see mda trucks on three main roads. there'll be half a dozen areas to go to if you're worried about spraying. this will be the last mosquito spraying session for the year. >> take two. are you ready? >> okay. >> the redskins. >> how about i take the story. >> do it. >> the redskins are going to take on the rams at 1:00 p.m. they lost the first game this season and they've only one seven games in the last two seasons. >> good luck to them today. >> yes. now on to decision 2016.

sorry about that. having some promty issues. all eyes on donald trumtp. now, trump did not correct the supporter when he called president obama a muslim. he did address the way he responded on the issue via twitter at the appearance in iowa. >> they wanted me to speak up in favor of the president. do you think he's going to speak up in favor of me? why do i think he's not. >> trump has surged ahead of his republican rivals and foes but some wonder if his bubble is going to burst soon. >> ben carson and john kay success will be on "meet the

press" this morning at 9:30. if you're heading to the race this morning, the closest stop to the station is the smithsonian station. that's the closest one to the starting line. you can catch the blue, original, or silver lines to the stop. >> new video. this is a yacht on fire. a family is on board there. why they're thinking a good samaritan this morning. and a developing story out of indiana where two children were hit in a drive-by shooting

welcome back. it's 6:13. new this morning, two children shot after an apparent drive-by

shooting in indianapolis. one victim has died. they were 9 and 11. two adults were shot also. they boenlt believe it was a random attack. four people including a 6-year-old boy were on this yacht when it went up in flames. a passer-by called the coast guard. the boat burned for an hour but everybody was ab to get off just in time. the fire started in the engine. that's some scary stuff. >> you don't want to see that. well, we're starting off our sunday. yesterday was kind of hot. >> it was hot. it was summer in september. >> bye, summer? >> bye. nice seeing you. >> bring on the s'mores. >> a more autumnal feel. starting this morning you'll notice a breeze coming off from

the west. right now to the east, we've got a glow in the eastern sky, and the temperatures are comfortable now, although it's a little humid. the humidity is beginning to move in as the winds pick up. right now, washington, 70. upper 60s, near 70 around the bay. off to our west, we're still in the 60s in most locations. look at oakland now. a chilly 46 degrees. and there's the glow in the eastern sky this morning. you can barely make out mars. i thought i saw mars a few minutes ago. maybe obscured by the cloud f clouds now. by 8:00, sun, upper 70s. back down to the mid-70s by 5:00 p.m. all across the region we'll be in the 70s. just a gorgeous sunday. enjoy the lower humidity moving

in. now, the winds may be a bit blustery for the fed axe game this afternoon. kickoff is at 1:00. for tailgating, it's going to be a bit blustery. it will be in the mid-70s. then by 2:00, just a few clouds, upper 70s. by the end of the game, it should be back down to the mid-70s and lots of sunshine around. then a cool start to the week. right around 70 degrees heading a touf school and work monday morning. starting tomorrow, a lot of clouds. might have a passing shower. we could certainly use it. there's a small passing of a sprinkle or shower. small showers for the papal visit arriving on tuesday all the way through thursday. it looks beautiful. night weekend to follow. >> thank you, tom. thank you, tom. we have "reporter's notebook"

coming up weechlt be back at 6:30. good morning. welcome to "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. as we roll out the red carpet, road closures and tight security will surely create gridlock in parts of the city. ddot says expect long delays. try to work from home. take mass transit. plan ahead. and give yourself plenty of extra time to get where you need to go. joe madison s the city ready or will this visit bring the city to a standstill? >> i think this city will be ready for it more so than philadelphia. i'm heading up to philadelphia to see the pope there, but i'm staying in d.c. we're used to the diplomats and presidents on the move. i think what we're doing here today is giving people plenty of time to adjust to what might, you know, be a lot of road closures. >> well, it's going to be messy,

no matter what we say. we'll be used to it but ddot is trying to use technology. they're saying, listen, we have these mappings, go online, take a look, these are the roads that will be closed. so much of the talk about the pope's visit is about snarling traffic, stay home, not working. and there will be talk about how inspirational this visit may be, but it seems to be right now secondary to what is this going to do for your the life of those who live in the area and those coming into the area. i guess once he gets here, we'll start talking about what he has to say. >> and dave, mcconnell, throw in a concert on tuesday night and those nats games. >> that's right. there's a lot of competition. i don't want to go overboard on this, but kind of think like a snow day. think of that. we're not quite there with the snow on the streets and

slipperiness. this is not about snow. but the fact is when you close arteries, it causes traffic in other arteries. i think i'm going to stay home. >> i just wrote down, treat it like a snow day. basically that's how we ought to treat it. >> or inauguration date. >> that's a little different because it happens every four years. it's a little more concentrated, isn't it? >> the head of opm says treat it like a snow day. >> whether they're catholic or not, so many are preesh ya tifb of the pope. there's just this mood and they can't wait for him to show snup this is not only his first trip to washington but to the united states. the wizards heading to ward 8. tea people are abuzz about it. the owner has unveiled plans for

a $550 million plan. they expect it to bring jobs in. they hope it will bring hope to a community in desperate need of an economic shot in the arm. dave, the mayor promised development east of the an cost ya river. could this be a boon for ward 8? >> since there's been a concern in that area they really have missed out on the economic development of the rest of the city. this would be a great way to do it. if they build the arena, the allure of the wizards, look at all the people looking to go way down. you can imagine what this will do for the wizards. so it looks like a really good shot in the arm. >> those numbers are starting to decrease a little bit for the football team. i think what's important here is mayor bowser is only following in the footsteps of mayor grey

fowler and mayor gray there's an issue talking about crime. i think if you have redevelopment there and you build up the tax base, that sort os takes care of that issue. i this i what's important is the money that's going to spent here. $55 million. the city is going to kick in most of it. leonys is going to put in $55 million. but still we haven't to get the council to prove this. we're talking the major plan but she has to get support. we're moving now to another sports complex. >> i can't imagine anyone in that kouj would vote against it. this would be transformational. let's go back. remember what the verizon center did for chinatown. i mean we've been around long enough to know there was a time you didn't even go to chinatown. stay out of china up to. look at the restaurants. look at the activity. the fact is it's not going to be

just a practice center, you're going have all kinds of restaurants and small businesses. the thing i do hope is that there will be employment opportunities to help build that for people in ward 8. and that's what i really hope will take place. i think that's where eleanor holmes norton will come into play. >> very quickly naltds will tell you oftentimes building stadiums really don't mean that much of an economic boom for the communities. d.c. is a little different. it has happened with nationals stadium and verizon center, but downdon't see it out at the fedex field in landon. >> look what that's done. >> d.c. is a different outlier than most stadiums that go in the united states and sports

i think we try to find someone avail snoobl the big issue with body cams converging with the deaths of black men and white policemen involved in a shooting of them, this whole series of things we've gone through over the last year is we need some way to see what really happened. there's disparate accounts of it. body cams seem to be thence. now critics say there's a move to cut that uf. >> all right. we've got to take a break. we'll be right back. stay with us. d.c. will have to pay a former inmate. he wins a settlement. he pleaded guilty to simple assault charge stemming from domestic dispute. he was locked up. he had no way to council with

anyone. a jury will decide how much he gets. does it surprise you that even in the wake of this case t aclu is claiming inmates with disabilities are still being denied access and inadequate services at the city jail? >> it didn't surprise me what the judge ruled. he had a 46-page report and was taking to task the way d.c. was treating these inmates. know it's happening in arlington. it's also happening there. obviously this is an issue. the aclu sees it as an issue. the thing is the judge says they knew he was there and knew what the rules were to follow and still did not do it. it seems to me it's still a somewhat open and shut case. for this gentleman in arlington, this could become a bigger

issue. >> i would add only one thing. i would hope they would incorporate in the settlement money for training so that this doesn't happen again. johnnie cochran used to do that. he would have big rewards and the family would get "x" amounts. and then there would be money set aside for the police agency to have training, which would preeventual it from happening again. that's what i would strongly recommend. this makes no sense whatsoever. >> you have to wonder if this isn't a time for the penal system. i mean i've read colby king's columns on this in the post and any number of investigations have been around about people just like this or improperly treated or some people have had medical conditions and they've died. really the critics say it just has to change. >> alexandria bans flying the flag. the confederate flag will no

longer fly twice a year on state property. they're hoping to pass the raising on confederate mourning day in may. it's currently at the intersection of washington street. what do you think of the idea? >> it gets us into the old discussion of the flag again, what it means, what it represents, how it hurts people. at the same time it's a representation of a stand, a cause, if you will, an ill-fated cause certainly. but the people i talked to said it's time the confederate flag should go in that area to a more proechlt place. a museum or private ceremony or something like that. many people were surprised that the confederate flag still flies several times in alexandria. >> everybody knows my position

on this. i'm like dave. i think it should be in a museum. this issue is not going to go away. it's been a long time coming. and i just think this is part of people saying, you know, let's just get rid of it. we're one country. we're not two countries. the civil war is over. >> very monte, everybody does not feel that way. do you think other jurisdictions will follow suit? >> i think what you see in south carolina. virginia, what you saw in richmond, there can be those who will show others to follow if south carolina and virginia can do it. we're talking about the confederate flag. i will say i was surprised. i was surprised it was a unanimous vote. and they're talking about possibility renaning streets and highways. there are 33 of those. that's going to be dicey.

the fact that it went through, i would say it's progress, it's not rewriting history. it's communities deciding what and who you want to honor as a nation and that will be a continued debate. >> i'll add one thing. if you rename the streets, you take away the reason why people get angry. gore by dal said it one time. the edward pettus bridge which was a horrific demonstration where people were mauled by the police. people might forget why that bridge, what that name edmund pettus means. so some of these symbols might be a bad reason. >> i think that's so tied to a movement and a particular time, and i think that's a perfect example of the ed monday pettus

brid bridge. i think that's a little different. >> having crossed ed mumd pettus bridge, what i do here is they're hoping he's rolling over in his grave. the other thing, too, keep in mind -- a lot of people don't know this. did you know that robert e. lee at his funeral did not want the confederate flag posted? >> his view was over, we won and even though he had a problem with african-americans and his views are certainly not consistent with what we believe today, he was really unstru mental. they said, no, it's over. we've got to become united states citizens. >> we've got to move on. thank you. that's "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us now as "news4 today" continues.

\ good morning. i'm angie goff. >> i'm adam tuss. >> today is the day the new transit center finally opens to the public. it makes its debut in about 30 minutes. we'll have a live report coming up later on "news4 today" to see how things are going after the highly anticipated opening. >> two wildfires in northern california have destroyed 1,000 homes, 6,400 are in the fire's path, five have died. we want to go to tom kierein who has more on the fresh change. hey, tom. >> good morning. starting off with low humidity moving in from the west. the winds picking up a little bit this morning and looking off

the ride to conquer cancer continues today after a tragedy. a rider was killed during yesterday's first leg of the race. the alexandria man died after a car hit him in howard county. the accident happened. he went around a curve and crossed the center lines. an suv hit him. this morning the fire department is mourning the loss of one of its own. she retired. she had been with the department for 29 years. police are still investigating that crash. a permanent memorial is now in place to honor the legacy of allison ward and adam. a helicopter dropped roses at

the memorial. >> what we're doing here with this long lasting tribute. we have scholarships in place for them. they will never be forgotten. >> well, donations from this weekend's remembrance all went twaurnd funds set up in allison's and adam's lanes. investigators say ballistic evidence from the same gun matches the first four shootings. he claims he pawned the gun months ago before the shootings began. there have been 11 confirmed shootings. right now the police can onto connect the suspect to four. police in an run dal county say they caught the man accuse 60- to 90-minute sexually assaults two women. police say he sexually assaulted a woman on crane highway and

last thursday a woman was attacked on hospital drive less than two miles from this first incident. three children are recovering in a hospital this morning after a horrific boat accident. take look at the aftermath. all the kids were under 10 years old. they were flown to a hospital in d.c. a 3-year-old was in cy critical collision. the 9-year-old was badly burned. 59 yfrld girl and the adults were not hurt. still no word on why the boat exploded. ♪ what a welcome for pope francis as he gets ready for his biggest event in cuba. up to a million people are filling revolution square in havana for a mass that will happen at 9:00 this morning. then this afternoon the pope will meet with cuban president raul castro and his brother fidel that i will be there because you will be there.

see you in philadelphia. >> well, that's the welcome pope francis sent to philadelphia in english to help them get excited for his visit next weekend. crews in philly are still trying to put together the stage when he comes to the world meeting on f families. next week pope francis will speak at independence mall and hold a mass on benjamin franklin parkway. coming up here, you can hear more about the steps on the silver line. they'll cover the bridge expansion over centreville road. construction is expected to start in two weeks there. on tuesday, a new greenhouse will open at the high school. those fruits and vegetables will eventually be use for the school's cafeteria. a housing plan will add close to 16,000 apartments by

the year 2040. the board listened to three hours of personal and heartfelt testimony from those who have benefitted from the county's existing housing. that testimony apparently swayed lawmakers' decisions in favor of that plan. >> it mate be the most intimate part of the pope's trip to d.c. what the pope expects to see when he meets with the homeless this week. and the literary

another marathon debate and the pope. talking all about it, moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd. good morping. >> good morning. >> what did you make of it? did you make it through the ten. >> we're going have the last

hour of it this morning. it was as advertised what i thought it would be. you felt a little sense of i think desperation of candidates trying to be relevant yochl u saw an entire field comfortable going after trump now. i think that was pretty clear. and you saw a candidate in carly fiorina get an opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity. >> she did well. >> right. when you take a look at it, i think she did well. of the front-runner, i think ben carson missed opportunity. here he was center stage and -- this is not his strong suit clearly, the debate format. and i think jeb bush calmed his donors down. if you're trump, you have to get nervous that the whole field is beating you up and maybe, you know, is your shtick wearing thin? is there a second act because it's wearing thin. >> the back-and-forth between him and fiorina was between she

and him. and that stone face she gave him was a moment. >> it was great to see chris christie play moderator. hey, children, calm down. >> by the way, of what i would call the desperate candidates, the ones that were trying to stay afloat, i think he did the best among them. >> i want go to the other side among the democrats. i feel like we're in a different place than we were a week ago with joe biden and that emotional interview with colbert. now we're hearing rumblings from his aides. >> he's traveled all over from detroit to los angeles to columbus. anywhere he's met, he's been having private meetings. and my sources in all of those different cities are all saying the same thing. he wants to run, he's saying he's ready to run, he's saying his family is on board, yes, he's still trying to figure out the emotional part of this, but

there's also some nuts and bolts that he hasn't fully answered the question but he does feel as if he's a edge closer. >> quickly, the pope here do, you think this will have an impact politically? what can this do? >> he's bound to. this is unlike any other pay pap visit we have seen. john paul ii, benedict, they were all sort of above the fray a bit. he's going to be a political participant this week wlrks it's on climate challenge, whether it's on human rights issues. i'm sure he's going to way in on the refugee conflict. it's going to be fascinating to watch. >> we're going to see the pope replace trump in the headlines, right? >> definitely for the week. the impact he has on stirring the debate, particularly on climate change, it's going to be interesting. >> he'll have an impact on

traffic. >> this morning we're having ben carson, kasich, and jamie dimon. >> you can see "meet the press" right after "news4 today." speaking of the pope, after the pope meets with members of congress thursday, heal have what may be the most impactful part of the trip. >>. >> reporter: it's easy to look at a line like this and just think homeless people, and getting to know them isn't easy. it's hard. but not impossible. >> i've been homeless off and on. >> reporter: scott morgan came to the st. maria meal. it's the smallest stop on his trip. >> maybe the most important because he actually gets to

interact with people currently on streets who are struggling. >> reporter: people looking for something to sustain not just their bodies but souls. >> they're hoping to hear words of encouragement. >> reporter: dr. john ensler is excited. >> where we're sitting right now, he'll be here to bless this chapel. >> reporter: not just a pope. this pope. >> pope francis lives the message. he seems to be want to be with those. >> what would i say to the holy father right now? i would actually say thank you for actually addressing the refug refugees. >> reporter: scott morgan has been watching what's happening in 00 gra gary and appreciates the pope challenging the catholics to help them. >> reporter: if he gets an

audience with pope francis, he'll say, thank you. >> also i'll welcome him to the u.s. >> now. father ensler will be with pope francis while he niece d.c. father ensler is officiating a mass at 8:00 at st. bartholomew's in bethesda. the active times looked at campus dining and athletic facilities at 50 colleges nationwide. virginia tech ranked number one because of its organic options, fitness experts and dynamicdyna are you ready to do this? yesterday people got a chance to test their strength. teams of 25 tried their tugging at this 156,000-foot airbus.

embarrassed us last year. we're coming up with a good game, especially at this time of year because you don't want to in a situation think shoulda, woulda, coulda. >> you have a lot of young guy playing a lot of ball. it will put the guys in the right mindset. it can get the team on the role. if you lose it can put them on the wrongway. >> redskins and rams kick off at 1:00. i'm dave johnson. enjoy week two of the nfl season. coming up, best selling author jack auth author jackie collins died of breast cancer. her breakthrough book came in 1983 titled "hollywood wives." it sold 15 million copies.
