police to suspect that he may still be wearing an explosive suicide vest and leading to the warning of the possiblist an imminent attack not just by abdeslam, but by several men. abdeslam's brother has been appealing to his brother to give himself up and suggesting that possibly salah had pulled out of the paris attacks at the last minute and that led to speculation that possibly salah was fleeing not just from the police, but from his former isis colleague. so the situation here still tense. this city is still on high alert. back to you. >> we are getting our first look now at video that shows a french special forces unit responding to the deadliest of the attacks in paris and that was the assault on the bataclan theater. tomorrow french president francois hollande will be at the white house to talk to president obama about the fight against

department may not be notifying ice when they get a hit on someone who has a warrant. for example, someone who failed to show up for a deportation hearing. >> if we find out that someone has deliberately undermined the policy of the board, and i would consider that insubordination. and an offense that could result in that person's termination of employment. >> in a special closed session, stewart shared his findings with the board and they immediately launched an outside audit. >> in addition to the audit we directed the police chief to immediately begin informing i.c. e.on all hits of i.c.e. warrants whether they were criminal or civil. >> he's equally concerned about the possible breakdown in sharing information with i.c.e. he told me over the phone he's begun an internal investigation. so if we are not performing that notification for i.c.e. and that

is concerning to me, and i have yet to understand the depth of the frequency of this type of encounter. this is partly what i'm diving into now. >> the chief tells me the preliminary look seems to show officers in the field are doing their job and that they're reporting all i.c.e. hits to a unit inside called the criminal alien unit and it seems that might be where this is occurring and it could be that a change in federal policy at the end of 2012 has led to a misunderstanding or lack of communication and he'll have more to tell me by wednesday and i'll get back to you in the studio. >> thanks, jewel pep. >> a judge in montgomery county says a mother charged in the disappearance of her toddlers is still not competent to stand trial. >> katherine haggle is the woman's name and suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. her children sarah and jacob were 3 and 2 years old

positive attitude gives him strength in addition to comforting him. the third grader is excelling at school and on the soccer field, too. >> a police chief in virginia that has led investigations into high profile cases is retiring. tim longo will turn in his badge next may. he helped guide that department through the murders of college students hannah graham and harrington and yardly love. he was hired in 2001 after working for the baltimore police department for tweent years. >> animal control officers took dozens of puppies from a chantilly pet store. officers got several complaints about the dreamy puppy store. officers seized 40 to 50 puppies and took them to a vet so they could be checked out. right now there are questions about whether the animals were too young to bed so, but so far there are no charges. this is still just an investigation. coming up, fighting a deadly

that's the take away from a new washington post poll. overall the poll found 45% of washington ans disapprove of gray's time in office while 39% approve of that, but 62% of the people polled say the u.s. attorney's office should end its investigation into gray's campaign for mayor in 2010. prosecutors have not charged gray with the crime, but they have suggested that he knew about a shadow campaign that illegally funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into his election effort. several of gray's former associates have been are pled guilty pleas, but gray has maintained he is innocent of any wrongdoing. the district has just narrowed down options to honor marion barry who died one year ago today. a commission gave four recommendations to mayor muriel bowser in honor of the late former mayor and former city

officiating in general this season and years past. let's talk about the play again involving chris culver that turned out to be a huge play and he makes a play and 75 yesterday for the touchdown, and hold on, a penalty was called, unnecessary roughness on culver and that took away the touchdown and the panthers scored four plays later to take the lead and they would aren't look back from there and hatcher thinks the questionable calls have to do with the redskins name and has had coach's reaction to those comments today. >> don't single us out. at the end of the day it's the name. don't worry about the name. we're players and we work our butt off, too. i'm frustrated with it. we shouldn't have to be punished with that. calls after calls shouldn't be made in our favor. >> to point at an official for

reviewing why keenum wasn't removered. who does the league talk to in its own review? according to a press release this is how it works. the nfl will have discussions with the rams and their medical staff. the atc spotter, the game officials, nfl medical advisers and the nfl p.a. moving on to baseball now. nationals first baseman ryan zimmerman donning their hairnet to help out the food and friends. the non-profit prepares 3500 thanksgiving meals for the people living with hiv, aids, cancers and other life-changing illnesses. jim, who has been with the organization from the beginning, he's ready to welcome its newest manager dusty baker to the club. it should be a fun season for the nationals coming up and a great job by zimmerman. also in college basketball, maryland moves up to number two in the polls and they drop from 6 to 12 in college basketball. vance, back to you.
