out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig america's elections. >> reporter: trump making it clear he's running not just against clinton but the media -- >> forget the press. read the internet. >> reporter: the polls. >> i don't believe the polls anymore. >> reporter: and the entire establishment. trump out now with a new plan to put term limits on members of congress. six years for the house, 12 swamp in washington, d.c. >> reporter: in vegas tonight, clinton has her own debate strategy and her own challenges. stick to the issues and avoid getting testy with trump. her guest? republican business woman meg whitman and mark cuban. clinton has been off the trail getting set for the showdown, letting her surrogates do the talking for her. >> electing donald trump as president would be a disaster

>> reporter: yes, that's bernie sanders, clinton's former rival, the subject of new e-mails released by wikileaks, stolen, apparently, from a top clinton aide. in one, campaign chair john podesta calls sanders a dufus and another puts sanders on a list of potential running mates along with notably nonpolitical names like the heads of apple, >> and you can watch the debate tonight at 9:00 right here on nbc 4. we're also streaming it live on your phone or tablet through nbc washington's app. republican congresswoman man barbara comstock faced off. julie carey was there and tweeted about it. they discussed the best way to

we spent the last couple of days in the 80s and maybe by the time we get into mid-next week, some areas are getting out of the 40s. so enjoy it. if you don't like it, know that it's going to change. we've got a few clouds out there and that's the way it's going to be with a little more cloud cover as we continue. and you know, still low to mid-80s. we have a few showers as we get into thursday and then more rain expected through the day on friday. it's the transition day. current temperatures, we're taking them up and up. 74 in washington right now. you know it's going to be warm if we're already approaching 80 degrees before noon. 84 is where we'll top out. most locations in the lower to mid-80s. we could have a few showers. mainly the shenandoah valley. let me take you through the day. you can see clouds building in.

welcome back. it looks like more virginians want the redskins to move to the commonwealth. 46% of virginians support the move from fedex field. 21% oppose it and 23% are behind tax incentives. a lot of fans want them back in d.c. october is domestic violence awareness month and we're taking a closer look at this problem and a project that we call "safe at home." yesterday we heard from an nfl

with his fiancee that was caught on surveillance video. that video focused new attention on domestic violence and on the way the nfl handles it. >> do you think the nfl is on the right track? >> i don't compare my case to anyone else's but i believe there's a vigil to mine so it changes the conversation. >> the visual of rice hitting his fiancee made news across the country and put the nfl and its commissioner roger goodell in the spotlight with respect to domestic violence. >> we strongly, strongly condemn and will punish behavior that is totally unacceptable. >> reporter: rice was just one of a number of reported cases of domestic violence in the nfl. there are many more that haven't made headlines.

and faced intense criticism for how it has or has not sanctioned its players. as a result of rice's case, the nfl announced a wide-ranging domestic violence initiative calling for a six game suspension for a first offense and lifetime ban for a second offense. >> i do know that now they have policies and they are stricter and i would love to work with furthering, you know, the conversation. >> reporter: d.c.'s former police chief, cathy lanier, just took over as head of security for nfl. i asked her about this issue as she was leaving d.c. the nfl has had issues with players and domestic violence. what are your thoughts about how you'll address that problem and it seems to be the problem is

with many, many times officers involved in domestic violence, officers involved in misconduct or even being arrested and although we're a professional held to a higher standard, accountable 24 hours a day for the image of what they represent, even though we're police officers and in uniform, we're people like anybody else and people are fallible. the nfl is no different. football is our favorite sport and people look up to football they represent so much for us. so i appreciate the challenge of how do you deal with that as an organization. but you have human beings that are people like everybody else that make the same mistakes that everybody makes. >> reporter: ray rice says he's learned from his mistakes and wants to help other players avoid the mistakes he made. >> if i'm going to make a difference, i have to make that

have resources for anyone dealing with domestic violence as a survivor, friend or allies. take a look. all this month, the stately home is the ninth annual d.c. design house that is open for your inspection. joining us to tell us about this year's house is al and betsy. tell us what make this is so special. >> design house has been able to participate in this and what make this is so special, there's a special feature on the second floor. it's a gallery of all of the artwork by the patients and their families led by the great work from the children that are residents and children's

bring nature into the space and make it more welcoming and inviting and i had just a great, great success with a lot of the people who have helped me over the years, pulled the room together. so very pleased to showcase a lot of d.c. businesses and great, you know, design furnishings from this area. and also the fact that 20% of all the things that we sell go to children's national besides all the ticket sales all go to the hospital to help different what are the unique challenges in designing? we know flow might be one of them. what else do you focus on? >> a lot of us did, without actually talking to each other, things to the ceilings because the ceiling height is very high. it's 11 feet. the committee that's been just essential besides the hospital

everyone's design kept the crown molding. it really hangs together. there's a lot of great work from a lot of wonderful designers. >> looking forward to seeing it. can you tell us how to get tickets and when it's opened? >> it's opened through the end of the month, october 30th, tickets are $35 and available online and at the door and 100% of the ticket sales goes to children's national. >> >> thank you. talk about beautiful, great day to get outside. up next, lauryn is back with when rain could disrupt your

so this is an interesting tale for you not knowing it. >> sure. i think the idea is so iconic and so many people that were influenced that somehow i missed the two movies. but you saw -- >> i saw both of the movies and the second movie when i came out, i was at that teenager age when it came out. >> so you think this is pretty representative of mother/daughter relationships in real life? >> oh, sure. absolutely. 100%. >> i think so, yeah. that goes on, is that hard to do on the stage? >> we definitely found our rhythm with it for sure so we definitely kind of pulled from each other. we do a lot of --

i go to emma a lot. >> how does it work? >> tell us about that? >> we're working with the score written by tom and brian who won a pulitzer prize and they wrote the musical "if and it's so much fun and so provocative. not only is it a thrill to sing but hits you in the gut. it's surprisingly deep. a more mature audience as well. >> it's a small theater, only 275 seats. do you feel like the audience is right there with you? >> for sure. very intimate, yeah. >> but i love that because

thing that happens. we can feel them. >> the second the show starts, they are on the journey with you. >> getting a lot of laughs? >> very much so. it's fun and such a broad audience. we're hearing the laugh that the kids love and that the parents love. we're nipping and tucking and changing. >> and we're s each other. >> it's a great play for parents to bring kids to? >> absolutely. even the young ones. we've had kids three and four that have the best time. it's really funny but also, like i said, it's what it's like to be the parent of the child. >> and you're there the 20th of november? >> yep. >> fantastic. so great to have you here. >> thank you.

woman: barbara comstock is too right-wing. woman: barbara comstock is against marriage equality. man: she even voted to allow federal contractors to discriminate against gay employees. woman: barbara comstock. too right-wing for northern virginia. narrator: house majority pac is responsible for the content of this ad. october is ad/hd month. 4% of u.s. adults have ad/hd and it's one of the most common

this is an issue that people have been talking about for a while now. what are the core symptoms of adhd? how are they diagnosed? >> things like inattentiveness, impulse sifness. there's no way to diagnose is it with definitive proof. there's no x ray or brain scan. it's based you're taking a very thorough history and then based on that, that's how you make the diagnosis. >> and that's why it's controversial. it's so hard to pinpoint. some parents say how do i know it's adhd versus a child who ate too much sugar or is having a hard time focusing in class? >> that's true. it makes it very complicated. these are natural parts of everybody. but everything is on a spectrum. you have some kids who are going

charts where they cannot sit down in class and they are constantly interrupting, homework is a battle, everything's taking a long time for them to do, they are constantly for getting things. so if it depends on how much these problems are impacting their day-to-day functioning. and they are having these symptoms, it's possible that it's adhd. it could be other things but certainly it's one of the things you want to rule out. >> without being able to pinpoint it exactly, do we know it properly? >> we absolutely know how to treat it well. so that's great. we don't know exactly what cause it is and, again, there is not a single thing in the world of psychiatry that we know for sure what causes the condition, where there's depression, schizophrenia, adhd is no different. it has to do with the functioning of the front part of the brain, called the frontal lobe. there's less activity in that part of the brain and people who have adhd versus those who do

that you address its condition, works really well for people so about 80, 90% of people will show a significant benefit with these medications but, of course, these medications come with their own controversy because people don't like the idea of giving their kids the medication on a daily basis, particularly a medication that has potential for abuse and misuse. >> there are ways to counteract it? >> there are ways to treat without ic increase omega fatty foods. these things could potentially help but i can tell you, having treated hundreds of people with this condition, the likelihood of that being one of those things is relatively small. it's worth trying to see if that's a different but really, medication, unfortunately, is what is necessary to make the big difference that families are going to appreciate and to make the difference that the kid is

their potential. >> now, it seems like there are so many other cases of adhd of kids being diagnosed. is that true? or is it because we have more of an awareness? >> i think there is some truth to it. the numbers have gone up a little bit. now we talk about it being 8% whereas maybe 15, 20 years ago, it was 5%. the question is why is that happening? i think it's a combination of factors. it's increased issue and environmental factors. processed foods, diet, exercise issues, lack of sleep. those are factors that really could be accounting for some of that difference. >> really good points. really, dr. joshua weiner, thank you, as always. >> my pleasure. let's take one more look at our forecast. lauryn? >> temperatures once again in this forecast, highs today 84 degrees in the district. low to mid-80s in our area.

cloud cover, despite a few passing showers. and i do want to mention, there could be a few showers this afternoon and throughout this evening, mainly along i-81. but the weekend is going to be dry saturday and sunday looking dry. a lot cooler. so say good-bye to the 80s. only getting into the 50s. that's it. on saturday. and then by the time we head into sunday, low 60s. windy on saturday and breezy on sunday. winds will die down saturday night but then again pick back up on su going to be cool. look at wednesday. some areas, especially the shenandoah valley, may not get out of the upper 40s. it's going to be chilly by the time we get into wednesday. dealing with a few showers for the end of this work week. make sure you have your umbrella handy. >> lauryn, thank you. a big change for the weekend. i'm not ready, barbara. that does it for "news4 midday." thank you for joining us. we're back on the air this afternoon, first at 4:00. >> you can get news and weather
