we are following virginia task force one in south carolina. the team from fairfax county posted these new pictures of what they're doing. you can see they're assisting cleanup efforts there. they're also assessing damage to areas east of columbia and delivering water and supplies. farther south now. today search crews will continue looking for survivors for the ship lost during hurricane joaquin. there were five polish workers who went on that voyage and were preparing the engine room for a retrofitting. the owners don't believe that work caused the ship to lose power. the elfaro ran into hurricane joaquin. the ship's owners say the captain was not under pressure to sail through that storm to deliver cargo on time. >> there is no schedule that's more important to keep than -- that would in any way endanger the lives of our crew members or

employees. >> now a team from the ntsb is in florida this morning conducting its own accident investigation. 33 crew members were on that ship when it sank. do you have $85 to spend on tolls every sfwheek that's the plan right now for the future of i-66. later today you will have another chance to fine tune a proposal to toll lanes between d.c. and the beltway. v dot says tolls will reduce traffic. they said the new tolls could help them travel up to 45 miles each hour on the interstate. that is unheard of especially if you drive on 66 on a regular basis. these tolls should not start until 2017. kristen wright will have much more coming up in justen minutes. today jury selection in the charles severance trial heads into day three. the judge has dismissed about half of the 150 potential jurors because that six-week trial would pose a hardship for them. now each remaining juror will answer questions about exposure to media coverage and whether he

or she could be fair and impartial. severance is accused of murdering three alexandria residents over ten years. opening statements could start as soon as tomorrow. this morning we can tell you it was a 74-year-old husband and father of two who died after a confrontation with security guards at med star washington hospital center. the patient walked out before he was formally discharged around the confrontation happened as a nurse escorted him back inside. it's 5:05. today the presidential candidates are covering ground in new hampshire and iowa. on the republican side donald trump continues to jab at other candidates as his poll numbers start to slump. on the democratic side differences are becoming more apparent between hillary clinton and bernie sanders as they prepare for the first democratic debate next week. nbc's edward lawrence breaks down the poll numbers for us at 5:30. vice president joe biden's office is pushing back on a politico article. the story accuses the vice

president of mixing political ambitions with grief over his son's own death. it says he made a calculated call to the "new york times" columnist to tell her that beau's dieing wish was for biden to run for president again. he calls the report cat tech gork gli false and says it is offensive. prince williams county police want your help to find penny lawrence wolf. she went missing from manassas. wolf is 53 years old and police say she may not be able to get around on her own. if you think you can help, call prince william county police. > >> reporter: i'm molette green outside bells mill school. you're waking up to walk to school day. the sign outside the school basically says it all. this is the day when communities walk or bike to class, and they join a movement to create active and healthy lifestyles.

we're going to see elected leaders, even the fire chief walk to this school in a few hours to launch a new challenge that really ties in to walk to school day and also plays in the role of improving academic performance. much more on that coming up throughout the morning. i'm molette green. live in potomac. back to you. thank you, molette. it is chilly out this morning. take a look at these temperatures out there, 52 in manassas, 55 in gaithersburg. will we see things heat up again? tom is putting together your neighborhood highs. new developments in the scandal rocking volkswagen. when the car owners can expect a recall notice. just in time for aaron's return, take a look. a panda cub update just for you. the new milestones bei bei just reached.

new developments in the

volkswagen emissions scandal. if you have a car that's part of the emissions scandal, we now know when it will be fixed. vw's ceo says the company will start recalling cars with illegal diesel engines starting in january. the recall includes 11 million cars. volkswagen plans to have them all updated and fixed by next year. bei bei, the national zoo's panda cub, is starting to open his eyes. aaron has been following this. >> especially the eye opening. >> two new pictures of the cub. partially open. can you tell with the black -- it's hard to tell. >> got the black glasses and the black eyes. >> i know. six weeks old. that's when he starts getting dangerous. bei bei is 4 1/2 pounds. always cute. here's a live panda cam. >> my favorite pan. >> may xiang. >> look at her neck. >> she's protecting her cub.

the low and mid 70s. volume on 66. tell them to turn on their radios. >> no, turn it down. what is going on with all of the volume here this morning. >> 66 in bound at 123. do have some road work that is slowing down quite a bit. i happened to look at a camera because we were seeing all of that red right here on the map this morning. right here in bound and you're pushing 123. eight miles per hour. should be out of the way probably in the next 25 minutes or so. maryland 95 southbound here at powder mill road, a lane closure also northbound because of that road work. big look at things. no major problems on the beltway. live look at 270 coming up. melissa, thank you. happening today, it is your chance to voice what you think about the future of i-66. chances are you'll have something to say once you hear how much it could impact your wallet just as much as your commute. another scare in the air. what happened after a pilot on a passenger jet lost consciousness. thieves getting high tech. thieves getting high tech. how they're

why should over two hundred years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward.

as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these, and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours.

5:17 your time right now. the cost of your commute could go up dramatically. we're talking 85 bucks a week if you use i-66. kristen wright is in the car right now with more on what the tolls could mean to you. krist kristin? >> reporter: you know what, aaron, people want things to get better on 66. no, they don't want to pay so much, and that is the issue right there. we are on 66 this morning. the toll lanes that we're talking about would be inside the beltway in both directions and as you know things are fine now. it's just after 5:00 in the morning but soon things are going to pick up pretty good on 66. so how much? well, as much as $17 a day for a

round trip so if you do the math, that's $85 a month. again, that would be the maximum toll. so, people are concerned. we were at a public meeting last night in falls church where v dot talked about all these proposals, they laid them out and then people who were at the meeting, most of them talked about how worried they were about the costs and while they do want things to get better, they just don't want to pay so much money. v dot also says they have plans in the works to also make improvements and ease congestion outside of the beltway. that wouldn't be for some years down the line. these plans inside the beltway would be in place summer of 2017 so in about two years. there is a meeting tonight by the way from 7:00 to 9:00 at washington lehigh school to talk more about the proposals inside the beltway. back to you. >> i'll bet it will be a packed meeting. kristin wright on the road. thank you. we just broke it down for you.

i want to show you exactly wa we're talking about numbers wise. this would not start until 2017. if you drive during peak hours expect to pay about $9 in the morning and $8 on your way home. that's $17 per trip and that adds up to 58 a week and $4400 a year. what you would need to pay off a five-year loan. thank you, aaron. in the day ahead baltimore will pay nearly $100,000 to settle a federal lawsuit. the suit accuses baltimore police officers of giving 28-year-old christine abbott, quote, a rough ride on her way to jail. abbott says she was slammed against the police transport van wall during a ride after her arrest in 2012. the settlement comes as the city is preparing to try six police

officers involved in gray's death. he suffered a spinal injury while riding in the van. for the second time a judge has denied a defense request to move freddie gray's trial out of baltimore. they say the news article published by the "baltimore sun" have tainted the jury pool. the "sun" said he told police officers that gray needed medical attention. porter told medical investigators he informed alicia white that gray needed medical attention as well. white said that never happened. officer william porter's trial is set to begin november 30th. as the community in roseburg, oregon, recovers, that town's republican mayor said he is not going to let politics get in the way of the president's visit there. president obama will be in roseburg this friday. christopher harper mercer killed nine people and then killed himself. larry witch wants his town to know the country is with him. >> he's our president.

let's get him here. the nation is supportive and behind him and we need him here. i'm very happy he's coming to roseburg. >> rich is a supporter of gun rights. president obama could discuss gun control reform during his visit this week. constant rain and devastating flooding for a week taking its toll. the deadly record smashing rainfall in south carolina may be over, but now the cleanup begins there. for one seasoned meteorologist the past week has been an emotional ride. >> well, how about that. boy, i'll tell ya, i don't know what to say. whew, sunshine. that's amazing. whew. forgive me. flood warnings, 6:45. oh. tomorrow and through thursday. come on, tim, get with it. >> yeah, that's tim miller from our affiliate in columbia. he's lived in that state capital for 20 years and says he

personally knows people who are suffering after the storm and obviously that's what makes a difference for him there. >> we're professionals but this is affecting your life. this is affecting your family and your friends and your neighbors. it hit so hard just to show his humanity. >> your life. 22 after 5:00. live look outside this morning where we're waking up to some clouds. >> yeah? >> toss to tom. >> hi, tom. >> come on, aaron, get with it. >> we have just a few clouds coming through right now. everything is going to be fine here later today. we'll have increasing sunshine. i love this sky cast 4. this is a computer simulation of what the sky may look like as the day goes on. it is so realistic. it's still amazing to me that computers can -- i mean, that looks like a real sky but this is a computer simulation. by noontime, a few high clouds drifting over us. then during the afternoon we'll have just a few of those around, but overall lots of sunshine.

then this evening mostly clear. it's amazing what the computer simulations can do. right now we are getting into the mid 50s north and west of the metro area. temperatures west of the city and shenandoah valley. low 50s there. not as chilly as it was yesterday morning. still a bit of a chill in the air. those are the real clouds. that's the actual view from our sky watcher camera overlooking washington now. the tower kam showing a few clouds passing over the city lights reflecting the bottom of the clouds. that's not dawn yet. sunrise not until 7:09. during the morning hours few high clouds and sunny reaching the upper 70s by late afternoon. another spectacular autumn day on thursday. high mid 70s. maybe up near 80 friday afternoon before showers arrive. a front comes through. likely showers friday afternoon into friday evening. you have plans friday night, maybe football games. then it could be wet with some showers coming through, maybe even a few flashes of lightning. no severe weather. maybe a lingering shower on

saturday morning. otherwise, the rest of the weekend is looking fantastic for outdoor activities. melissa will come over and pull weeds at my house on saturday. >> i don't know about that. >> she's got a heart of gold. and on sunday we'll have beautiful weather, too. we'll have sunshine and then warming up again next week and we'll be in the mid to upper 70s. melissa, what is happening on the roads. you're so sweet. >> you're so sweet. i'm so happy you're going to wash my car this weekend. so nice of you to say that. 270 southbound in urbana, we do have a brand-new crash there. you can see a little bit of a slow downthere. right now this morning just south of that, 270 southbound at old hundred road it opens up at that point so you don't have any problems. 66 in bound at 123, still have a pretty good amount of volume here. that, of course, because of the earlier road work that was kind of hanging around. as you head to that area you're okay. from fairfax county parkway to the beltway, your time has changed. instead of taking ten minutes it's taking two minutes to get

to fairfax county to the beltway. 95 both directions at powder mill road, we are a little slow in both directions because of earlier road work. overall prince gorges county is nice and green. everybody there behaving themselves. back in ten minutes with a live look a branch avenue. melissa, thank you. 5:25. today is jury selection in the trial for a teen charged with raping and killing his math teacher. phillip chism was 14 at the time. he was charged back in 2013. investigators found his teacher's body in the woods near the high school in dan verse, massachusetts. he's being tried as an adult. his attorneys plan to use a mental health defense. bill cosby is dealing with a new lawsuit this morning. model khloe goens says cosby drugged her at the play boy mansion in 2008. she is suing him for mental anguish, loss of self-esteem and dignity. the lawsuit is the third filed since last year for alleged sex assault. cosby has never been charged with a crime. a plane full of passengers

is safe this morning after a scare in the cockpit. united airlines flight from houston to san francisco had to stop in albuquerque yesterday afternoon because the co-pilot lost consciousness. united officials evacuated the passengers while medics helped the co-pilot. the airline is not releasing the condition or an explanation for the loss of consciousness. in news for your lelt, transplanting ovarian tissue after cancer may allow women to regain their fertility. dutch researchers followed 41 women who had ovarian tissue removed, restored and transplanted back to them. 31 were able to become pregnant naturally or through in vitro fertilization. no tumors developed in the transplanted tissue. investigators say a nurse used the same syringe over and over again at a flu shot clinic in new jersey. health workers are asking more than 60 people to get tested for

hepatitis and hiv. the nurse changed the needles after each vaccine but continued to use the same syringe. patients are upset because they were not notified until friday. it's not clear if the nurse was punished. locking your car doors may not be enough to keep thieves out. a new breed of high tech criminals is cloning those remote entry keys to break into cars. across the country detectives are watching videos of these car break-ins. in many cases it looks like the criminals have the key. police in texas seized a gadget that can mimic the signal your key sends. >> they use it to try to mimic the signal the key fob sends to the car to unlock the door. one gm key fob is not going to work on another one. i believe this one goes through a sequence of transmissions until it gets the right one to unlock the doors. >> that's not good. there are also devices that

amplify your key signal and some california neighborhoods hit by this latest high tech crime. neighbors are keeping keys inside their micro waves to block thieves from getting a signal. come up with new ways. it is a salmonella outbreak responsible for several deaths and this morning we've learned it now involves cucumbers from our area. >> some say it is one of the priceyest in the country. how much are you paying to ride the train to work compared to other cities? >> live look at the district this morning. clouds there. if you're just leaving for work you might want a light jacket, too. tom's back with y

poll shows clinton leads five points over bernie sanders. that makes momentum going into the debate next week vital. for the republican, national polls showed donald trump's lead faltering. marco rubio moved into third place jumping six points within the last five weeks. he's within striking distance of the republican front-runners. his message has been to tell voters that what he knows how to live paycheck to paycheck and he can identify with voters. we'll have to see how all of the republican contenders do as the next gop debate which is going to be october 28th. reporting live on capitol hill, edward lawrence, back to you, eun. >> thank you, edward. a 20-year-old man is dc's latest homicide victim. police say someone shot muhammad washington in the middle of the day yesterday. they say he ran more than a block before he collapsed in the grass. news 4's pat collins learns that washington was on his way to a corner store just before noon. this morning dc police have no suspect and no motive in this

case. neighbors told news 4 the violence not only affects the victims and their families, it changes the entire community. >> when i go to work, i go to the doctors, i go straight in the house. i don't like coming this way. >> it's that bad? >> it's just that bad. >> we are tracking a rise in violence. so far this year a 46% increase to the number of murders compared to the same time last year. dc averages one murder every three days. this morning a house committee will look at the issue of drones and safety. the panel will determine whether an unmanned aircraft makes it unsafe for planes and helicopters. the faa deputy administrator and the president of the airline pilots association will testify. d.c.'s mayor says the pepco exelon merger will increase reliability and increase jobs. they will pay for a one-time bill credit for each customer and set aside money to offset rate increases in 2019 -- until

2019. some lawmakers are worried about what happens in the long run. >> i believe this settlement is in the best interests of the district now and for our future. >> they have put a little dress on this deal, okay? it's fancy. it looks nice, but in a couple of years then you'll see the reality of what this deal means to us, and it's not good. >> exelon also says it will relocate workers and hire new ones in the district. the d.c. public service commission still needs to approve the deal. a salmonella outbreak involving cucumbers has reached maryland. the cdc says one person in the state is infected bringing the total number of affected states to 35. four people have died and more than 700 others have been infected. investigators found the salmonella in cucumbers grown in mexico and distributed by a san diego company. if you intentionally disable a metro bus, you could face jail time. that's at least what one d.c.

council member wants to happen. jack evans who also sits on the metro board introduced legislation that would attach criminal penalties for doing just that. earlier this summer we reported on teenagers using an emergency switch on the outside of buses to disable them. evans proposal includes the maximum $300 fine, 90 days in jail or 30 days of community service. from metro buses to trains, as we reported, fewer people are using metro. it's second only to the b.a.r.t. system in san francisco. the top fare on metro is almost $6, almost 7 if you buy a paper fare card. in other major cities like chicago and new york there is a set fee for the trip. here in the district the farther you go the more you pay. metro has been forced to raise fares as operating costs have gone up. this might make you want to add norway to your bucket list. you want to take a pause and take a look at this.
