we're back at 6:11. folks in california being forced from their homes due to this massive fire. this is in calabasas suburb. the fire has grown to more than 500 acres, threatening 3,000 homes, forcing the evacuation of some 5,000 people. crews on the ground and in the air working to put it out. the folks can't believe just how big it's gotten. >> i walked out, i could see the smoke and fire coming by. >> the exnt

officials believe it may have been ignited after a car crashed into power poles downing lines in three different places. 6:12. a man is facing assault charges this morning and could face arson charges after a fire at an apartment in langley park. the police and fire departments were called to the building on 15th avenue this is friday night. police say that they received a call from a woman who says her fiance was assaulting her. she managed to get aways but poli police believe the man set the building on fire. the suspect was detained nearby. so right now we are closely watching all this heavy rain and the strong winds that are moving our way. >> not too bad of a start right now, but it is a storm team 4 weather alert day for what we're expecting later on. lauryn ricketts joining us thousand. what are you thinking? >> i'm thinking the worst of it will come this afternoon. and we will really have to watch for heavy down pours and strong winds which means

outages. so we already have saturated grounds. we got some rain last night. we got the rain yesterday and so we'll have to watch for flash flooding. so let's let you know what you need to know for today. weather alert day for today. that's why everything is in red because we will have some pretty strong storms again this afternoon. timing between 2:00 and 8:00. the humidity thank goodness dropping by the time we get into your mop, tuesday, wednesday looking so much better. and nice. next week pretty quiet the. temperatures right now low 70s. it's heavy off the eastern shore. that came through richmond. so we're good right now, but what i'm watching is down here in southwestern virginia, this will continue to move to the north and east as we go into the morning. so a few more showers. but again the main event coming this afternoon between 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. so that's when we'll be watching more storms moving in from the west and shifting to the east. and what we will be watching for, high

flooding and a small chance of hail. so 9:00 there is those showers that we were looking at in southwestern virginia. maybe a few isolated showers in the early afternoon. but then here comes a line of storms with that frontal system at 3:45, that will continue to travel to the east. heavy at times dropping a lot of rain, but then rapid clearing after that. we'll go over exactly what you can expect once again for next week coming up in just a few minutes. lauren oig, thanks so much. next up we have "reporter's notebook." >> and we'll be back in 15 minutes. good morning. i'm pat lawson muse. let the single tracking begin. 13 straight days for starters followed by close to a year of disruptions. safetrack is up and running and a lot of folks are bracing for the impact. crowded stations, extra long wait times and more. mark segraves and scott macfarlane are joining us this morning. are youpr

d.c.'s hair asking metro to reconsider midnight closings on weekends? sounds like they're not ready. >> ready or not, here it comes. and what mayor bowser is concerned about is night-life. you have all these clubs, restaurants, bars, even baseball games that can go beyond midnight and they depend on metro to get not just their client tell ho clientele home, but their employees homes. you've seen bars and theet clubs saying they will reschedule events, they will start them earlier. so i think that is mayor bowser's concern. and then you saw governor mcauliffe just the other day live on channel 4 at 11:00 in the morning threatening to withhold funding if metro doesn't meet his standards, virginia's standards. and so this is again ready or not, here it comes, but it's going to be painful, people i think are trying to set

expect pain and then hope for the best that maybe it won't be as bad as we were thinking it's going to be. >> we're all talking about the impact on riders and retail, but there is a lot more at stake. >> this comes at an important time politically for metro. a few weeks ago will this front of the house oversight committee, metro told you're not getting the bailout from us. two weeks ago, house transportation committee said you have a lot of federal money, you're not spending it, spend that first and then come to us for more money. so right now metro is making this pitch saying with need dedicated funding, we need robust funding. they're making that pitch as they're about to undertake this huge maintenance project. if it doesn't go well, doesn't that pitch get so much heard. but we're all calling it the safetrack program. we're using that phrase almost as common terminology to describe what they're doing. that is metro's branding for this program. but it really is, it's a

maintenance program to stop death from happening or huge crippling disruptions. we're all calling it safetrack, so are government leaders. so in some part metro is already off on a good start putting a public face on an ambitious program. >> and dedicated funding touchy topic, but now they're saying maybe they will revisit it. >> they're saying that now, but when it comes time to raise your taxes in d.c., maryland and virginia, and that's what jack evans chairman of the board of metro said, he doesn't care where the money comes from, but he knows that there will have to be a tax. that's when the debate will come in. a gas tax, sales tax, how will you distribute it equitably. thaend as scott said, it's the federal government. half of the riders are federal employ years. t employees. the federal government has a stake in this. it's the only major rail system in the country that doesn't ve

but then you've got mcauliffe and even bowser administration officials saying they don't want to have anything do with rate hikes or taxes until they know that it's fixed, but you can't fix it until you get that kind of money. we're talking about a billion dollars. >> they took two significant votes, one to fix homelessness and the plan to close the general shelter. the vote approves the plan. tell us about the plan. >> well, this is politics at its best in washington, d.c. hair but s hair bowser came out with the plan to show the general shelter which is just a horrible place for families to live and unsafe. she wanted to close it by 2018. she had a plan to put smaller shelters this just about all eight wards. but when she released her plan, a lot of people didn't like the locations of the shelters in their neighborhoods.

appearance that there were some developers contributors to the bowser election campaign who seemed to be getting some pretty good deals on this that they were going to profit by. so chairman mendelson of the council came in with his plan whereby all of the land where the shelters would be located would either be owned by the district or will be owned by the strict. this caused mayor bowser to scream at the chairman in the hallway of city hall, dropped an expletive and said he's lying to the public. but now that plan has been approved, it's moving forward. it's going to be years in the making. but we really still have no firm end date for d.c. general. and what we've seen in the latest census is the number of homeless families in d.c. last year went up by 30% so it stay may not meet t

they need which could mean that general would say hope. >> they also approved a spending plan saying d.c.'s efforts to decide how to spend its own task dollars sis unconstitutional. what do republicans have to gain by digging in their heels? >> congressional leaders loudly and proudly smacked back passing a law to trump passing a bill, to trump what d.c. had done a few years ago. >> in 201. >> all you have do is read the press releases, read the floor speeches from the house republicans who led that effort. this just a short finite amount of space referenced the constitution six or seven times, referenced the founding fathers with capital sfchfs, saying the defending the constitution. but they can tell their constituents wherever theyy

we fought the powers in d.c. and we won. it's not so clear to constituents far from our city what that actually means. does it mean you fought power brokers or did you really fight the d.c. citizenry. >> the council has voted to approve this plan. congress and the president have 30 days to respond to it. if they don't, then it takes effect in october. is this a real turning point or is it really just an historic act of defiance against congress? >> the act of defiance will come in and when mayor bowser and the chief financial officer disobey congress' order and go ahead and start spending their money. and that's when it will really hit the pavement. so you're talking about what republicans have to gain. they have nothing to lose. it's easy to them to beat up on the district of columbia because it plays well back ht district where they come from, but they

by doing so. so it's kind of a win/win to republicans in this sense. but it's not just the council and the mayor. the district residents voted in a referendum overwhelming that they wanted to spend their own locally raised dollars just like every our jurisdiction in the country is able do. so this is going to be a showdown. they will square off and it will be who blinks first. and it could come to the first where the mayor defies congress, congress would then have to send marshals down to arrest the mayor and the council members. and, you know, we've seen our mayor in handcuffs before defying congress on similar issues. i don't know if it will get to that. >> to be continued. we'll be right back.

early voting started, but hillary clinton may have clinched the nomination by the primary. but there are hot race this is wards 4, 7 and 8. let's talk about these races. and which one is the hottest. >> well, ward 7 without a doubt is the race to watch. this is former mayor, former chairman, former council member vince gray's comeback redemption tour. he was under investigation to many years. he believe that's why he lost his re-election bid to muriel bowser. now that investigation has been closed, he was not charged. not exonerated, but not charged. he feels that he's been vindicated. so he's back on the path. and by his polling, he has a big lead on yvette alexander who was his hand picked successor to him when he became chairman of the council. so that's the race that everybody is watching. and right now gray seems to have a lead. but i have to tell you, i've d

them. alexander is not backing down. she's to go vedoing very well a has the backing of mayor bowser. >> all three incumbents have the backing of mayor bowser. are these races in a real sense a test of the mayor's strengths and will they be a bellwether for her? >> that will be the narrative no matter how they turn out. each side will go to that prism and declare this is a refer ren rum on the mayor. let me just say i'm dubious of polling that might be released in any of these races. the best polling or the only polling we seem to hear about is polling commissioned by the candidates themselves and i'm always dubious of that because those polls lack the scientific solidity that we see in other races. but that will be the narrative no matter what happens. >> mark, many see the ward 8 race also as a test to see who inherits marian barry's

>> yes, she won in a special election after the death of marian barry. she won in a crowded field. the second place candidate was white who lost by 100 votes. now just the two of them going at it while may has a lot more money and the backing ever of t mayor, white is very popular in ward 8 and this will be a very close race and a race to watch. whether or not it's a refer ren rum on mayor bowser, the fact is white,le alexander, these are a people who are solid votes for the bowser agenda. so if you get vincent gray and trayon white, if those two win and get on, that will be trouble for mayor bowser's platform going forward because she can't do anythingi

counsel's approval. she can to some thing, but most of what she wants needs approofapproval from the council. p. >> i want to talk about the new task force formed in response to the case of the former teacher's aide who now faces federal charges of sexually assaulting and videotaping students. among the recommendation, new reporting requirements and sexual abuse prevention training for students and anyone who has contact with students. scott, what your thoughts on that? >> that task force released its findings. 50 pages this week. and seemed to kind of fade out like a ripple in water. this task force seemed to mask their own work. one of the first orders of business was to exclude itself there public records law and public cooperate watch or be part of this office in a real vibrant way. what's more, when they released their findings, they said they didn't talk to anybody involved with the deonte carraway case and

dioneonte carraway case. i think a lot of people in the public media and citizenry in prince george's county really wanted to hear what they're doing about that, what they released seemed to be relatively boiler plate. not a lot of meat on those bone hes. and when they stood before the microphones to release their findings as a task force, it was a confrontational media saying what is this thing you've all released, what did you actually do? >> what did they do? >> i can tell you the idea of reinforcing or expanding mandatory reporting, you know, coming out of a task force to a lot of people seems rather redone dar redunda redundant. if you're a teacher, coach, clergy, anyone who has oversight or interaction with young people and you suspect abuse, and you can even believe that it's not true, but if abuse is reported to you, you have to report to the authorities. child and family services or the

land. so the idea that that needs to somehow be reinforced falls kind of on people thinking, well, yeah, duh, that should have been the case already. and to scott's point about them want doing things behind closed door, you see the same thing going back to metro. d.c., virginia, maryland setting up their own metro commission and one of the first pieces of business is saying they want to be exempt from open meeting laws which is the same thing that this task force did. and that always leaves the public and the press very skeptical of whatever results come from that because they just want to know why wasn't this done and open. especially things of this nature. child safety and metro safety. why to these things have to be discussed behind closed doors. >> all right, thank you, gentlemen. that's "reporter's notebook."

chuck todd joins us now. and we know that ali was celebrated for being a tremendous athlete, but he was also known for his willingness to speak his mind. what kind of political legacy do you think he'll leave behind? >> he basically paved the way for the idea that a celebrity, sports hero, entertainer, you gain a platform, don't be afraid to use it. and use for social causes. and he showed how to do it. he sacrificed money, he sacrificed the prime a of his career for his principles when it came to not enlisting in the army during the vietnam war. so i think -- and he polar. -- it was a polarizing time. it would have been easier to sit silent, but he chose not to and we now look back at him as

unifying figure. and it is something -- the fact that he was able to have the guts to do what he did then is something that now many athletes today, many entertainers today who feel comfortable talking about social causes have muhammad ali to thank. >> and i know the show will start a little earlier this morning, 8:00. and you also have mitch mcconnell on the show. when it comes to donald trump and mcconnell, do you think this is going to be a requirement now for trump to get that establishment republican to win a general election to get his support? >> well, what he's hissing ri mt now, he's got everybody willing to say they will vote for him but i'm calling it supporters in name only. they essentially said, yeah, we'll be there this this november, but what happens when the going to gets tough before then. and i think this week we found out that republicans might be able to bring themselves to say they will vote for trump, but are they going to use their own political capital to help bail him out when things are getting tough. and we saw

they're not willing do that. when hillary clinton laid into trump's temperament, it was crickets from the republican establishment to defend him. when trump went after the federal judge claiming he's unfair simply because he's hispan hispanic, not a single republican would back him up. so i think trump may be a man on an island. >> chuck todd joining us early. how does it feel? >> we're always here early as you know. just that we'll be getting out of here early apparently. >> and i feel a little personal because you're just a studio away and yet i'm here and you're -- >> sorry. when i heard you were there, i was like, well, you know -- >> keep your distance, i know. >> and you can watch "meet the press" he have sunday right after nbc 4 and today it will be on at 8:00. as the world continues to mourn the loss of muhammad ali, you can check out a piecef
