life. >> it turned out to be so much more that i think they were even surprised. >> reporter: doctors at georgetown university medical center are studying whether a leukemia drug called melatoniv can help parkinson's. they believe it can kill the toxic proteins in the patients' bodies and they can cause -- dopamine, everything connected to mood motor skills. the brain stops producing dopamine in people with parkinson's. >> this is the first study that successfully repositions and already fda-approved cancer drug for the treatment of neurological indications. >> the neuroscientist worked with fernando pagon to give 12 patients the drug once a day for 12 months. >> we saw patients improve in motor function and non-motor function.

>> here is another patient in the same trial. mary lee. you can see that her parkinson's is so severe, she can barely get out of bed on her own, but just a few weeks after starting the drug, she's interacting with others at her nursing home. >> we've had wheelchair and bedbound patients that began to move again, they began to speak again and that was one of the most surprising parts of this clinical trial. now take a look at allen hoffman, eight weeks into treatment. he's walking faster and has more movement in his arms. >> i started to dress myself which i couldn't do anymore. >> reporter: that clinical trial ended two months ago and since he stopped taking the medication, he has regressed. now the hoffmans are trying to get the medication from the drug company. >> what a difference it would make for millions of people, and how wonderful. >> the hoffmans are having trouble getting the drug because it's not approved for use in parkinson's patient, but they're working with the manufacturer.

doctors at georgetown plan to do the next phase of this trial soon and if all goes well the drug could be available for parkinson's in the next few years. well, he was a hoot. we're talking about larry david and his impression of democratic candidate bernie sanders on "saturday night live." >> i'm the only candidate up here who is not a billionaire. i don't have a super pac. i don't each haven have a backp. i carry my stuff loose in my arms like a professor between classes. i own one pair of underwear. that's it! some of these billionaires they've got three, four pairs! and i don't have a dryer. i have to put my clothes on the radiator! >> yesterday at a campaign stop in iowa, reporters couldn't wait to ask sanders what he thought. >> do you have more than one pair of underwear? >> yes. last week i bought my second pair of underwear.

that's a joke! please, don't write it down. that was a joke. joke. joke. i have an ample supply of underwear. [ laughter ] >> sanders adds that larry david does him better than he does himself, and said he should come speak instead of sanders at his next rally. that was hysterical. >> they were all funny. >> don't you expect a lot more of larry david? >> yes. so, brr, really cold out there this morning. frost on the cars and -- >> mid-20s. >> you warned us. record low temperatures out there this morning and you did need a little bit of extra time if you didn't have something to turn your car on before you got out there, and just scraped that windshield just a little bit and you may have to do that tomorrow morning and not quite as cold tonight and dropping to 53 next hour and 46 by around 11:00, so it will be chilly tonight and some would say cold, but not as cold as last night.

down to 52 in manassas, and already 49 down toward huntington and not quite as cold as what we've seen over the past two days and storm team 4 radar is dry once again and we don't have any rain in the forecast and mostly sunny, much warmer and doesn't that look great? 65 to 72 degrees and it is going to be a much nicer day across our region and here is the hour by hour forecast so it's going to start cold and many of you in the suburbs will be in the upper 30s and in the city around 43 degrees and 62 degrees by noon and you can see the quick jump with plenty of sunshine and the nice, southerly wind and 67 by 4:00 ask down to 60 degrees by 6:00. 72 on your wednesday and 76 on thursday and then we have a cold front. that cold front will swing through on thursday. it will bring in cooler weather for friday and the weekend, but we're talking 60s. 60s this time of year, that's exactly where we should be and the average high is up to 67. we'll be a little cooler than

that, but with sunshine it should be a pretty nice weekend out there. cool morning, but not bad. coming up, carol

>> this is the xfinity sportsdesk brought to you by xfinity.

your home for the most live sports. >> with half the team on the injured list it's a disappointing monday for redskins fans. carol is live out at the park. what's going on out there, carol? >> reporter: just plain miserable. that's another way to put it, i think. the redskins, so early, ten games or less, but you get the feeling that the season is on the brink. coach jay gruden called it a code red and yes, injuries have decimated the roster, but no excuses, says the coach. he knows that this is a must win and the pressure is on to perform as they prepare for the bucs. >> we're getting backed into a corner right now, and everybody's taking their shots at us right now and we can either come out swinging or we can take it, and i hope we can all come out swinging and i have faith that the competitive group that we have in the locker room, the coaches and players and myself will come out swinging and give it our best shot to get this thing turned around and get positive thinking going on in

the bye week and come back fresh and healthy after the bye. >> reporter: giving it their best shot to gruden that means sticking with quarterback keshg cousins today. he was adamant that cousins does need to play better saying he's not making excuses or trying to, quote, baby anybody, but the coach says out here at redskins park he sees cousins make every throw needed to be successful in the league. gruden still has faith in cousins and so do his teammates. >> you have to get knocked down to get back up and you have to toughen up, you know. all quarterbacks have been through that. it's a growing process. so we're definitely behind him and he's a great quarter barbac. >> if i start to doubt them, i'm not going to be able to get to the level i want to go, so i have to keep going and learn from mistakes and the more i play the more i learn, but no, if i start to question or doubt, we might as well throw in the towel and i have to keep

positive and keep working and keep believing. >> reporter: so the redskins standing by cousins, confident that he will bounce back. meantime, somewhere jim zorn, the former redskins coach is smiling. he does not anymore have that distinction of calling the most ridiculous play in nfl history. chuck pagano of the coach last night got that honor. sunday night football, colts and patriots. the colts are trailing the pats on fourth down after setting up for the punt and then this happens. what the heck is going on said everybody? the play did not work, obviously and still being mocked on social media. last night eerily similar to the epic fail of the skins swinging gate. remember this? redskins under zorn in 2009. even after seeing the trickime and it was ugly. one player tells us they weren't

even supposed to snap the ball if the giants adjusted the coverage and a big oops there so the colts did not get the memo on that one and like pagano, he said he does not regret that play call. meanwhile, back to the skips. they're trying to get over that loss and out in the community today doing some good. the skins, the charitable foundation and macy's, they teamed up for the share the warmth coat giveaway. the two organizations donating more than 200 coats and hats to underserved youth in the d.c., metro area. the event held at dulles town center put things into perspective for the players and the redskins seemed to have perfect timing with this good will event today. it's cold out here, and i wish i had another coat and it's such a little thing that makes a big difference in the kids, guys? >> yes, indeed. they're such nice-looking coats and they look great in them. >> is it cold out there, carol?

>> i have one coat. >> she got dressed in the afternoon. >> yeah. sure. sure. >> that's our news for now. thanks for joining us. "nightly news" is
