muse. >> i'm chris lawrence. right now, it is quiet inside and outside the debate hall at the university of nevada las vegas. fox news' chris wallace will moderate the primetime debate which goes back to the same format we saw in the first one with nbc's lester holt. wallace will try to cover six segments 15 minutes each. trump on the left, clinton the right, and she gets the first question. >> we expect to hear them debate the debt and entitlement, the economy, immigration, as well as the supreme court, foreign hot spots and whether either is fit to be president. each segment will open with a question. each candidates have two minutes to answer. then they can respond to one another and the moderator can ask follow-up questions. >> for trump, this could be his last chance to turn around a campaign that's lost ground in nearly every swing state. he argues the election is rigged against him but hasn't offered evidence to back that up. as for his game plan, trump's

on foreign policy. he plans to go after clinton's foreign policy record in iraq, syria, iran and benghazi. >> clinton's game plan is to stay focused tonight, stick to the issues and look presidential. she faces her own challenges including a daily stream of thousands of e-mails released by wikileaks. she's seen as the winner of the previous debates and she continues to lead trump in national polls. nbc "today" show host savannah we can expect tonight. >> it's such an interesting moment in the race, it's really potentially a turning point. you have a huge audience expected. and there are so few really big moments in a campaign. obviously, donald trump has had a rather unorthodox last couple of weeks and i think what will be interesting is to see whatever strategy he might be employing here. i mean, we've seen different shades of the campaign. there was a time when it seemed like he was trying to reach out and kind of get some of those swing voters.

like his strategy is dedicated to firing up the base. i think we'll probably see more of that tonight. there's a lot you can tell by the guests that the candidates invite to the debate. so fascinating. he according to reports and i think nbc confirmed has invited the half-brother of president obama who is purportedly a trump supporter to sit in the audience as well as the mother of a man killed in the benghazi attacks. hillary, meanwhile, has invited mark cuban who of course is a prominent trump critic andme whitman, former ceo of ebay, republican who came out against donald trump. i think we can read the tea leaves, where they're going to be having their focus. >> savannah will be part of next nbc's debate coverage tonight live with lester holt and "meet the press" moderator chuck todd, all startles at 9:00 after an all new episode of "blind spot." stick around for news 4 at 11:00. we want to know how you feel. weigh in on this tonight. could the debate change your

it's because of a front. see that front trying to move right across our region right now. kind of washing out. now, this front is going to linger across our region. that's why we could see a shower overnight tonight. into early tomorrow morning. then it moves back to the north as our next system, you can see it here, making its way out in toward the ohio valley, this system moves up to our north as well. that takes the front with it. we stay on the warm side tomorrow. take a look at the numbers. ahead of this front, we're still into the 80s and there's really no cold air dakotas. that air is coming our way on saturday. but tomorrow, another nice day. i think we can get right back to around 80 degrees. shower activity around 11:00 tonight. that's possible. 8:00, can't rule out a shower. notice the cloud cover, but then notice as i said, things are going to move to the north. we'll watch the clouds move to the north. by tomorrow afternoon, we're right back into the warm air. now the rain does come back into the picture. back to the west. friday, 7:00 a.m., back toward the shenandoah valley.

little bit of rain on friday. behind this front, though, we see a major pattern shift and, boy, do we get cold on saturday. 80 degrees tomorrow. not cold at all. warm with an isolated shower. especially early. mixture of sun and clouds. if you're thinking about eating out tomorrow, great. tonight, great. saturday, though, huh-uh, no. i don't think you're going to be able to eat out saturday and sunday. it will be okay but definitely on the cool side. let's show you the ten-day forecast. showers likely. 59 on saturday. that's not too bad. but windy. when i say windy, we could see winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour. that makes it cold on saturday. better on sunday with a high of 64. rather breezy. chilly through the middle of next week. a lot going on. amelia draper in a couple minutes with more on the change moving our way. >> all righty. thanks, doug. a local woman started getting e-mails that weren't

knowing that we were going to have a baby with drown syndrome who had a major heart defect that, in fact, 18 years later she would be the homecoming queen. >> reporter: the fairchild's experience raising naia became the subject of a book and television specials. >> we had no idea of the possibilities for naia and i'm glad we have been there guiding her journey, but also benefiting so much from the joy that she

>> a lot of students agree that she really exemplifies what we look to show off. >> very diverse student body, but who, they embrace everyone. i think this speaks to the community that we have here. >> this is my crown. >> reporter: naia isn't taking her title for granted. >> i just want to say thank you for your vote. this has been a wonderful year. >> what a virginia community college after she graduates. quite an inspiration. >> yeah, just a beautiful smile. if all the infuriating things that teenagers can do on a regular basis, they are capable of just incredible acts of empathy. >> and that was an incredibly wonderful act. >> yeah. well, here in our area, there is a, well, a pretty big change coming to one of our local airports. we're going to show you what's

and why an area around it is about to change. and an arrest goes viral and has a community asking tough questions. why the arrest of a man walking while down the street -- walking down the street, rather, is getting so much attention and why this case is touching a

now at 4:30, the final

hillary clinton and donald trump are both in vegas right now making their final preparations. many believe trump has to win the debate tonight in order to reverse his slide in the polls. right now, prince george's county police are dealing with an unsolved murder. the victim was just 18 years old. investigators say someone shot allyssa banks and another man a few blocks away from her home in upper marlboro. they were found at or near a parked car. now, the man survived. allyssa died from alexandria is recovering after being shocked by a live electrical wire. this was at a construction site at north washington streets. police say the operator of a crane hit the wire and it fell on another worker nearby. it's 4:30 now and we have a new report on changes to the security process at reagan national airport. news 4's chris gordon maps out what to expect and how soon it could impact you. >> reporter: you know how in the main terminal here at reagan

lines in order to get to your pier and your gate. you don't have time to shop in the stores or eat in the many restaurants in what is called the national hall. well, all that is about to change. security under the new plan is going to be moved to the other side of the roadway between the airport and metro. it's all meant to allow you to then come into the national hall, st shop wherever you'd like. >> but when this project is finished, they'll be able to go through security and have access to the full slate of options, not only a national hall, but all the various gate piers from food and beverage and dining options. >> reporter: ahead at 5:00, we'll show you what this new security system here at reagan national airport will look like and how it works. back to you. many in the minneapolis

upset after a white police officer arrested a black man. witnesses say the man was in the street. he was trying to walk around sidewalk construction, but the officer says he was breaking the law and was endangering estrian profanity and swinging his backpack wildly while the officer tried to move him. police say the man was never charged and was taken to a nearby mall and dropped off at his request. whur's troy johnson is here now with today's talk around town. so explain why some minneapolis residents are outraged. along with many of your listeners. >> yeah, folks i talked to are outraged because this could have turned into something much more tragic, much more deadly, and fortunately, it did not because a lot of people that i spoke to are thinking about what happened to a man who also lived in minnesota. he was killed by a police officer while carrying a legal firearm. shot in his car with his girlfriend and his daughter looking on.

situation with jamar clark, an unarmed man who died from a gunshot wound to the head during an altercation -- an encounter, i should say, with two minneapolis police officers last year, reportedly while handcuffed. so, yes, there is plenty of outrage from residents because there's reaction from all kinds of people as you see at this town hall meeting in edina because they've seen situations where african-americans are losing lives at the hand of police. now, the mayor there said police protocols during the arrest but that angered people i spoke to because they're saying these protocols obviously need to change. there needs to be significant change to end harassment by police in some situation, not only in minnesota, but police departments across the country. >> and the arrest, this case, comes after the largest association of police chiefs formally apologized for the historical mistreatment of communities of color. how did your listeners react to that apology?

would be nice to believe in an apology. hearing an apology is one thing but believing the apology that you're hearing is another because folks are skeptical about the change that's coming to the way officers are interacting with minority groups. lot of people are mistrust -- there's mistrust and it's enhanced by the response that some police organizations have to the black lives matter movement, for example. groups and individuals affiliated with police have activists that are simply trying to make sure that people are safe in communities, they are protesting, but they're actively calling for reforms. a lot of people -- a lot of those groups are calling those groups like black lives matter terrorists. they say that's not really a way to formulate a bond. maybe there are certainly disagreements and different viewpoints, but how are we going to come together if we can't get on the same page? >> and making the apology, terry cunningham who heads the

mistreatment. laws of the past and he says today's officers really aren't to blame for those injustices of the past. what did your listeners think about that? >> a lot of listeners are saying some of these laws are still on the books. the change that people are looking for is coming rather slowly. there are police departments that are making reforms. you have police body cams used in certain communities, for example, then the rules are not the same for everybody. and they're not the same way. so a lot of folks are saying police are there to protect and serve first and foremost, then if we can embrace some of these reforms, we can see safer communities. they're hoping that police are looking for that kind of perspective as they move forward. >> something we'd all like to see. >> absolutely. >> all right. thank you, troy. >> chris? >> thanks, pat. hundreds of bizarre e-mails and unanswered questions. it all led to a phone call to the nbc 4 responds team.

whole lot bigger. plus, getting a refund for your inconvenience. why the airline industry could soon be forced to give your money back. and we go from record high temperatures today at bwi and dulles to temperatures that feel like they're in the 30s and 40s this weekend.

hey how's it going, hotcakes? hotcakes. this place has hotcakes. so why aren't they selling like hotcakes? with comcast business internet and wifi pro, they could be. and you'll reach your customers where their eyes are already - on their devices. order up. it's more than just wifi, it can help grow your business. you don't see that every day. introducing wifi pro, wifi that helps grow your business. comcast business.

not far from where the presidential nominees will debate tonight. protesters are parked in front of the trump hotel in las vegas. the protest is a response to donald trump's pledge to build a wall on the u.s./mexico border. also a trump supporter warned the expansion of latino culture in u.s. could lead to, quote, taco trucks on every corner. >> which a lot of people took as a good thing. >> yes, they did. fake utility accounts uncovered. responds revealed a disturbing discovery in one of the country's largest energy companies. >> yeah, consumer reporter susan hogan joins us now with what she's learned and how it's impacting customers. >> this is a crazy story. at first, we thought this story was just about a simple e-mail mixup that would be solved rather quickly. however, as we started digging into the e-mails and pressing the company for more information, it turned out this was no e-mail mixup at all.

been getting e-mails from a company called relipt energy, a texas-based company. she's not a customer. but she was getting e-mails addressed to other customers located in texas in those e-mails. account numbers, addresses and disconnection notices. she wanted the e-mails to stop but the company could not stop them. that's when she turned to us. >> when i first got the e-mail, i thought, wow, someone stole my e-mail address, then when i got several more, this can't be, they couldn't have stole it, right? >> well, we contacted the parent company of reliant, nrg. the company immediately launched its own investigation and discovered it has a big problem on its hands and now because of our story, the fbi along with the houston computer crimes unit is now involved in this. >> so who did those e-mails belong to? >> that's -- there's -- this is

every single hour we're learning more and more. now, reliant believes they may actually be some customers but they're not 100% sure so they're cross referencing right now. we're also involving our houston nbc affiliate, they're working in on this, too, going and visiting some of the homes that those addresses belong to to see what they had to say and all of this is coming up for you coming up on news 4 at 5:00. >> all right. susan. >> i'm sure those folks in houston will be surpr t learned, most of these people have no idea yet. >> oh. >> it's a big deal. >> that's a surprise. >> absolutely. >> thank you, susan. >> thank you. less than three weeks until a president is finally elected and one of the biggest campaign concerns now is about the potential for voter fraud. what elections officials say about how likely that is in our area. and in a little more than four hours, we'll be watching the final face-off between donald trump and hillary

woman: barbara comstock is too right-wing to represent me. man: or me. woman: or me. woman: barbara comstock would overturn roe vs. wade. barbara comstock: i think roe vs. wade should be overturned. woman: barbara comstock voted to defund planned parenthood... man: five times. woman: barbara comstock is against marriage equality. man: she even voted to let federal contractors discriminate against gay employees... man: twice. woman: barbara comstock. too right-wing for northern virginia.

this ad. on issues that matter to northern virginia, barbara comstock and donald trump have a lot in common. bill o'reilly: overturn roe v. wade; that's a specific thing that you would do? trump: well, overturn or overturn... comstock: i think roe v. wade should be overturned. trump and comstock. trump: i'm totally for defunding. we shouldn't be giving to planned parenthood. while comstock voted five times to defund planned parenthood. northern virginia, we need luann bennett. standing up to trump and comstock. standing up for us.

and i approve this message. less than five hours now until donald trump and hillary clinton face off for their final debate. there are big issues to tackle tonight, including jobs and the fight against isis, but we could also see some confrontations over e-mails, vote rigging claims, and sexual misconduct. >> yeah, lot to get to.

to keep score. he's at the debate site at the university of nevada las vegas. hi, steve. >> hi, steve. >> reporter: hey, chris, hey, pat. thanks. good evening. here at unlv tonight, hillary clinton needs no more than to walk away without serious wounds. she's got a lead in the polls over donald trump, who badly needs a turnaround at this debate. in their final face-to-face, donald trump's advisers are urging him to make the case that >> she went from dead broke in the white house to being a quarter of a billionaire. people at least have a right to know how they made that money. >> reporter: but ignoring advice and with no evidence trump is also claiming the november vote will be manipulated. >> they even want to try and rig the election at the polling booths. >> reporter: clinton advisers hope trump goes there. >> if he brings this scorched-earth approach to the

hopes she's fiery. >> she needs to go in for the kill, shut him down. >> reporter: to throw clinton off, trump says he will bring to the debate the mother of one of the americans killed in benghazi. that won't shake clinton, says her running mate. >> she will be steady and calm, whatever donald trump tries to throw at her. >> reporter: trump will face questions about more women charging he groped and kissed them which he denies. clinton will face new questions about her e-mails, whether the state department tried to cut a secret deal with clinton put up an ad with an upbeat message. >> but america already is great, but we are great because we are good. >> reporter: but tonight could show american politics at its combative worst. trump has the trickier task, earning clinton's status in swing states like this one, nevada, virginia would qualify, too, while not further damaging his own candidacy. live from las vegas at the debate site, steve handelsman, news 4.

multiple campaign experts argue despite what donald trump says, polling of a rigged election is next to impossible. the security around the ballots has become so sophisticated in recent years. the news 4 i-team's tisha thompson looked into the safeguards in place across d.c., maryland and virginia. tisha? >> chris, it is so unlikely d.c.'s board of elections told us today that they haven't received a single complaint of voter fraud since the last general election. d.c. officials gave us details on this special encryption and monitoring systems they've created to track internal ip addresses each time someone tries to access voter are registration databases. maryland uses paper ballots requiring a scanner and usb drive, but officials there say they have multilayered security procedures to prevent anyone from using a phony usb drive to alter the results. officials in both maryland and virginia say their ballot boxes are never connected to the

state election officials from all over the country including both republicans and democrats have issued a letter in response to trump's claims stating they, "cannot allow unsubstantiated claims calling into question the systemic integrity of the election process to shake voter confidence or disrupt voting in the run-up to election day." and "state election chiefs want to assure americans that our process is fairly administered and well secured with structural safeguards to ensure honest outcomes and accurate results." we posted details about each jurisdiction's specific security protocols for this election on our nbc washington app. you can check where you live by tapping on "investigations." and when voter fraud really does happen, maryland's board of elections says it's limited to single individuals. they tell us maryland's most recent case involved a woman who pleaded guilty to voting twice in frederick county, maryland, once as herself, and once using
