security. out to the deadly plane crash in egypt, the u.s. has now enhanced security at international airports as more evidence indicates a bomb likely brought that airliner down. russia has also suspended all flights to egypt. we've also learned the black box voice record or the plane is working and could offer clues into the moments right before that mid air disaster. nbc's bill neely leads us off tonight. >> reporter: there is some shock here at the russian decision not least among the 50,000 russian tourists who are here at sharm el sheikh. remember, for the past six days, russia has been saying it's too early to say how this crash happened. leave it to the investigators and pouring cold water over the theory that a bomb may have brought down this plane and even in moscow speaks louder than words.

russia's intelligence service who recommended that all russian flights to egypt should stop, a recommendation accepted by russia's president putin. obviously, russia is giving the strongest indication yet that it believes a bomb is a plausible theory. if it was a bomb, isis planted it on that russian plane because of russian air strikes in syria. there are indications that the egyptian authorities, too, may be coming to the conclusion that it is worth saying that a bomb is the most plausible theory, but again, we have to stress technical difficulty and a technical fault has not been ruled out by anyone as a possible cause of this crash. back to you. here at the live desk we're updating you on the refrp rpubl front runner's admission that he never got into west point. he's being scrutinizeded for a claim he's made several times and wrote about in his

autobiography back in the '90s. he said in high school west point offered him a full scholarship and he turned it down to go to medical school. west point has no record of carson applying to the prestigious military academy or offering him admission. today his campaign is trying to clarify that while he was being recruited and the military academy never offered him an appointment. he thinks it came out of a conversation he had when he was 17 years old. though his senior commander was in touch with west point and told dr. carson he could get in, dr. carson did not seek admission. chuck todd is in our studio right now and he will be joining jim and doreen in ten minutes to dig into what happened and whether this will come up again in next week's debate. >> thanks, chris. >> a developing story in montgomery county where a man is in serious condition after

somebody shot him at his front door. nobody arrested yet, but police say there is no threat to that community. that shooting happened along clement road in silver spring. chris gordon is in that neighborhood with more. chris? >> reporter: tonight the lights are on, but there's no one home here. last night at this hour the homeowner answered the front door and was shot. his name is joshua bart and he runs his business from his home and he's a massage therapist and tonight investigators are looking for a motive in this shooting. montgomery county detectives investigating last night's shooting here say they believe neighbors here are safe. >> detectives do not believe this was a random act. at this point, investigators do not believe there is a greater danger to the community. >> reporter: i asked some neighbors that they are relieved that police feel there is no danger here today. >> yeah. i would feel better if that, in fact, is true. police are saying that the

neighborhood should feel safe because it was not a random shooting. >> reporter: 47-year-old joshua bart was shot in the abdomen. >> he was able to tell investigators he answered the door to his residence and he was confronted by two male subjects at the door, a confrontation ensued and one of the subjects shot him and both subjects then threat the area. >> joshua bart is in serious condition after undergoing surgery. his 7-year-old son was home at the time of the shooting. neighbors worry for the youngster whose mother died last year unexpectedly. >> he's a nice man, and lovely little boy, but sorry it happened. >> reporter: detectives tell me their top priority is to question the victim, joshua bart to see if he has any information or evidence that could lead to

the arrest of the suspects who tonight remain at large. that's the latest live in silver spring, doreen, back to you. >> chris gordon, thank you. >> tonight police have identified four people who escaped after a chase along the fairfax valley parkway and say the four may have been breaking into cars the night before and officers took the suspected driver into custody yesterday after the chase ended with the crash near pope's head road and police say he was driving on a revoked license and the car they were in, it was stolen. every time a medical helicopter takes off to save someone's life in maryland, that flight is impacted by a crash that happened in our area seven years ago. since that crash, maryland has invested more than $121 million for new state-of-the-art medevac choppers. those medevacs now have the latest aviation technology and safety equipment on them and state police have cut back on the number of flights to get patients with less severe injuries. prince george's county bureau chief tracee wilkins joins us at

a new memorial unveiled today for the victims of the 2008 crash. >> reporter: this memorial is for trooper 2 which shows them illustrating loading folks on to trooper 2 before the crash happened and it illustrates the pictures of the three folks who were killed onboard, the medical team and also the pilot and so much has changed now. it made it so much easier for family members and loved ones to join here for the unveiling of this memorial. >> i am so happy to see you guys, like, with the peace. i'm glad that you guys have that peace. all right. one more hug. >> jordan wells is the only survivor of the trooper 2 crash. she's meeting familyf those who died in the crash. >> i feel unworthy, but i'm honored and i'm grateful. >> i feel so blessed. >> today the memorial was

>> fire department emergency medical tech mission, tanya mallard. >> she was very young and 37 years old with two boys who are now grown. ♪ ♪ >> the memorial is located here about a half a mile to the actual crash site. in district heights. i'm tracee wilkins, back to you in the studio, jim. >> thanks, tracee. tonight, a lawsuit has been filed against metro by a man who was shot inside a bus in d.c. this summer. his name was earl coates. he said he was hit by bullets in the southeast in august. he claims the transit agency was negligent because somebody pressed the emergency switch and that shut the whole bus down. he says those switches should be locked. metro officials say they're looking into ways to secure the cutoff switches. he didn't want to pay the fare so he took his anger out on a metro bus driver. investigators say the man you see here started punching the

bus driver in the face after the man was asked to pay the fare. the suspect broke the driver's nose and gave him a black eye. that attack happened just before 8:00 this morning at north capitol and p street in the northwest. >> the supreme court will take up a new challenge to obamacare and the court will consider whether the nation's religiously affiliated schools and charities should be exempt from the contraceptive requirement in the affordable care act. churches already are exempt, but this would answer whether religiously affiliated non-profit groups also are exempt. >> the court will hear cases next year. they're expected to make a decision by late end june. and taking a look outside right now and what temperatures have been all across the region today. we set a couple of records, bwu and d.c. and dulles all set records today and well above the old record highs and well above where we've been in the past

couple of days. 81 fredericksburg and 80 in d.c. and 80 toward annapolis and that shows you the southwestern component and now we're watching a front move in and that front is bringing the cloud cover and we've seen the clouds streaming in and notice the rain petering out here and not expecting much in the way of rain at all and can't rule out a stray shower and all in all, we could be looking at rain. turning much cooler tomorrow and then rain for parts of the area for the weekend and i've got that forecast for you. >> thank you, doug. the democratic presidential hopefuls take the stage and all eyes are on ben carson over comments he made about his past. nbc's chuck todd will join us next. the first deaths in d.c. blamed on synthetic drugs. now mayor bowser is traveling overseas. her trip might have an impact on the surge we've seen on our streets. >> plus calls for change after a

young chil

the controversy on the campaign trail today. republican presidential hopeful ben carson under scrutiny over comments that he made in the book about his life. in that book he claimed he was offered a full scholarship to west point back when he was in high school. >> today his campaign confirmed

that's not entirely true, but they're chocking it up to semantics. "meet the press" moderator chuck todd joins us tonight. you just talked to carson's camp on your msnbc program. they're calling the politico story about this an outright lie. is there room for interpretation on this? >> he wasn't with west moreland in may and that was somebody that he was told if he applied he could get the commission. so it is word of mouth on this stuff. it is a total he said-he said and it is in a piece of paper that he can confirm it. i can tell you something else the carson campaign did pledge and they believe this isn't the only story from his childhood that has been called into question. earlier this week cnn had a story that he has talked about having a violent past and that god helped him get out of that past, but nobody had ever been able to affirm these stories

about him trying to stab somebody and things like that. they said this weekend they will produce an eyewitness that will affirm this stuff. >> so people new to politics running for office -- >> that's what's going to happen. >> can we assume this is not a herman kane moment that he's confronted with? >> and here's why i say this. his whole -- his whole campaign has been built on honesty, trustworthy and being above it all. being above reproach and a non-politician. we're used to politicians exaggerating a little bit. we're kind of conditioned to it. somebody who has been around a while with marco rubio said his patients were cuban exiles from castro and it turns out that they came over before. we're conditioned for a politician to do this. he is saying i'm not one of those. i'm basically -- exactly, so it could hurt him more than it would someone else traditionally and i think it will be very important for him to figure out how to get through this and it is one of those that could bring

down his campaign only because of how it's been built. it's been built on trust. >> your msnbc colleague rachel maddow is hosting a forum in south carolina tonight, clinton, bernie sanders and martin o'malley will all be there. what are you expecting for that? >> i think you'll get fireworks and i'm not saying that, it will be very interesting. they're not going to go after each other. bernie sanders has been saying he wants to go after her more and now he wants the fbi, but he doesn't -- she goes last tonight in the order. if you're going to attack somebody you don't want to give the person you're attacking the last word. i suspect we'll have a little of this, but it will be on the last debate. let me go back to the republicans. ben carson tying or maybe even leading trump. they've got a debate coming up this week. does he need to do anything

different in order to maintain that? >> i think he needs to get through this story, number one. trump, by the way is just piling on, right? he is going -- so that's what he does. he's going to get aggressive. you know that on him, and i think carson's -- one thing he's got to be able to do is he's got to show that he can take a punch, but b, they can sort of stand up to trump. everybody had been laying off of him because his supporters, there's been a joyfulness about his campaign and nobody wants to look bad going after him and everybody said i'm not going after dr. carson. that could change. so it's how he handles being attacked and is he willing to stand up to trump because we've seen walker melted, jeb's melted. >> chuck, this russian plane disaster story seems to get bigger and bigger every day. what are you hearing about that? >> the united states and the brits appear to be -- their intelligence is coming from the

same source and we don't know exactly what the source is. it doesn't believe to be material as far as the crash investigation is concerned and it clearly has to do with chatter and things like that. on the show we'll have dianne feinstein on the intel commite and try to get into this a little bit and they seem to know a little bit more, but i'll tell you, it's interesting and the russians and egyptians, it is in their interest and the russians are worried about domestic blowback and this is an important tourist destination. so i would just say factor that in as we watch all of this unfold. >> which presidential candidate, by the way? >> we have sanders and fiorina and we'll check in with mr. trump. >> we'll have much more sunday morning on "meet the press," 10:30 right here on nbc 4. >> the news 4 i-team has learned that a newly proposed law could change the local protests staged on the u.s. capitol grounds. a republican congressman from iowa has formally submitted a bill that gives u.s. capitol

police the power to enforce federal immigration law. what that means is they could potentially start the deportation process of undocumented immigrants who are arrested for protesting on the hill. that bill has been formally submitted to the u.s. house administration committee. tonight a maryland family is demanding changes at a busy intersection after a crash. a girl was killed on canberra drive. it happened monday night and something must be done to make sure this doesn't happen again. derrick ward has our report. >> reporter: this intersection of woodyard road and canberra drive in clinton has a reputation. on monday, 9-year-old daichell brown died in a collision here. lots of people have stories of close calls and carnage. >> my wife was hit here last year, the same way. >> the accident before this it was a moped and he actually flew off right here in my yard.

daichell's death brought out hundreds for a vijil and after the candles burned out those who live in the community say they want something done before there is another crash. they've wanted something done for a decade when adjacent streets opened up and increased traffic volume here. >> since that time, about once a month we have a serious accident here. >> he said when he first moved to this neighborhood there was a pasture with cows and growth has outpaced infrastructure. >> we are no longer rural. we're residential now. >> a widening of the road, at least rumble strips and better signage or a lower speed limit. the force was enough to overturn one of the cars involved. >> we've talked to several different county executives about the issue and we each had a petition and they denied it. >> i hope we can get something done about it. >> reporter: at that vigil they passed out a petition and they got 400 signatures and they'll be passing it outdoor to door to

see if they can get more signatures and more momentum to make this intersection safe. in clinton, mare layland, derri ward, news 4. >> we'll tell you how many victims have discovered and why do police believe there may be even more. i'm david culver coming to you from southeast d.c. where they are getting this rink ready at fort dupont ice arena for the gonzaga college high school hockey team. they're playing in honor of one of their own, dominic petty coming up on news 4 at 6:00, for the first time we hear from dominic's parents after his tragic passing. a wounded veteran finds hope and healing through hand cycling and he's getting help from an

will you take a look at that? isn't that something? storm clouds, i think they call it a shelf cloud that rolled over bo ndi beach in australia, north of sydney. a powerful storm moved in with damaging winds and a severe thunderstorm warning in effect there and it seems this one continued to be captured and shared on social media. >> on the other hand, around here it was pretty wonderful. we made history breaking a record for november, but change is coming and, doug, i don't think we're going to like it. >> some people will like it and

some people will say it's november and it's supposed to be on the cool side. nice job with the shelf cloud reference. >> thank you. >> nicely done. >> i have to give it to you. props when props are due. record level temperatures across our region. just look at that shot. that's such a beautiful shot of the capital. the old record was at 78 degrees and we beat that pretty handily. the average high is 62 any everybody set a record and bwi set a record and up towards new york they set a record and temperatures still on the warm side and winds out of the southwest at 13 miles per hour and we've got the clouds now. the clouds coming in as a result of the cold front, but notice no rain associated with this and you have to go just back to the west and you can see the front here from new york all of the way back towards the west. there are some showers, but they're having a very hard time moving to the east and i do not expect to see much rain at all and if you are thinking of

heading out tonight at dinner, notice again an isolated shower or two, but as we move into the overnight hours we'll see more of a chance of showers during the rain tomorrow and notice, this is the latest computer model and this is just in here and now it's bringing some of the showers in through the d.c. metro area right along 50 up toward annapolis and they could get that far and watch what happens here down to the south they go and by 10:00, everybody's on the dry side. i do not think we'll see much rain at all during the day tomorrow. the only exception is our southern zone. fredericksburg, over towards waldorf and right down toward st. mary's county and calvert county and if you live south of washington, you'll want to keep that umbrella handy and it moves out of here by tomorrow evening and it will be significantly cooler and speaking of cooler temperatures, they will be falling during the day and breezy and cooler, with yes, a few showers as i mentioned from washington. notice the temperatures, 7:00 in the morning and that's

incredibly mild for this time of year and down to 59 by 3:00 in the afternoon and that's in the city and some of you will be in the low to mid-50s. if you're thinking of getting out there and doing leaf raking and saturday, not the best day and sunday, it will be a great fall day on sunday and a great idea to get out there and take some pictures and light wind, 57 looks really good and monday coming in at 59 degrees and tuesday coming in at 62, but a chance of rain and we are going to see some cold air and the coldest air comes monday morning and i'll show you how cool we're getting at 6:45. >> thank you, doug. a moving tribute to a gonzaga student killed in a car crash. how the community is coming together to honor his legacy and help others in need. i'm julie carey in fairfax county where this search warrant and what was grabbed out of that apartment could be key to stopping a wide ranging debit stopping a wide ranging debit card skimming

gaithersburg and 77 in leesburg. so if you're heading out tonight, no real issues, but the only thing i've been watching is the chance that we could see a shower or two and you can see around hagerstown and some of this won't reach the ground, but don't be surprised if you see a sprinkle or a quick shower, but that's what it will be and it will be very quick. 8:00 a.m. and 63 degrees, there could be a chance of showers in the d.c. metro area especially south of washington. notice the trend here and temperatures fall during the afternoon and we're at 53 degrees by 4:00. what to wear tomorrow and it's not the shorts and t-shirts like today and it's back to the jackets and maybe to the umbrella and the pants, as well. as we move through the next couple of days and 57 on your sunday and a beautiful, fall day and 62 degrees on tuesday and nice and mild again as we make our way toward next week. storm team 4 friday, it isn't over just yet and of course sma, we have behind the scenes video of the nbc washington facebook

page and hence about the winter forecast and that winter forecast coming to you monday and being look, there i am again. all right. that's

this is the xfinity sportsdesk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. brady and the patriots are playing better ball now than they ever have played before. >> that's the way he wants it. >> they're incredible. >> he has the laser focus. >> he makes it look easy. >> so for all of those who root for the underdog, this week is for you. here we go! the audacity of thinking it's possible and beating the patriots, what? brace yourself, this could be a good week and a painfully bad one or ridiculously ugly. despite the bye week, the skins still have a monster injury list and desean jackson which is questionable. so is ryan kerrigan, he's listed questionable and coming off the hand injury and those are two of the seven listed as questionable. the top three cornerback,

deangela hall and chris culver. despite that uncertain, the guys who did practice had a spirited work out pumping up for the pats. >> it's a great opportunity for us, and guys feel the energy from some of the guys who have been out, like you said and they're excited for this great chance to play at foxboro. so it was a good practice today. good effort and good intensity, like you said and hopefully it carries over. meanwhile, up north, bill belichick wearing his worried face. the 7 and 0 pats are not taking the redskins lightly. belichick is going on and on about how great the skins are. >> they do a lot of things well, and they give you a lot to get ready for and it's not an easy team to prepare for. they have excellent backs and a good offensive line and they do a lot of good job, and knight

and baker, hatcher and linebackers run well and they have explicit plays and the blocked punt against the jets and those are things we have to be ready for. >> he's talking about the training staff, the waterboy. -- they really got it going -- >> it was everything and everyone. the nationals, that they have their manager and what about those free agent s as and only of the big four. >> and the one-year offer. they have one week to accept the deal or officially move into free agency and not getting offers in our expense and doug

means those two and will not see them in that uniform next season. >> i'm ready for the season to start already. >> thank you,
