what we were doing here -- >> that's wild. >> reporter: a machine gun, that's what park police say one of three suspects held to rob a victim last week. and this past wednesday, a second robbery. this time two suspects. >> two men and both armed again with a machine gun and a handgun. there's a great chance they're related. >> reporter: two park police scoping out the area, at first looking closely around the potomac boat club. we noticed cameras. did they capture anything? police haven't said. >> that's a heavily traveled area. it's really likely you saw something if you were there. >> reporter: park police investigated several guns found in a violin case. the response shut down part of canal road. >> they do not appear to be related. >> reporter: we met these gw students today. >> pretty scary. it's goingn right in the

>> that was my first visit and probably my last for a little bit. >> reporter: park police telling us tonight that the victims involved in those robberies were not hurt. however, they're hoping that they don't escalate. they did give us a description. i tweeted that out so you can see for yourself. a tragic house fire leaves six children dead. tonight, new clues about what may have sparked those deadly flames. a wild week in politics. it's not over yet. chuck todd joins us next with a closer look at the controversies and what one prominent politician is saying about our next commander in chief. talk of a coverup on the national mall. it all has to

rex tillerson put exxon's interests before america's.. i'm not here to represent the us government's interest. instead, tillerson sided with putin. with billions in russian oil deals... he opposed us sanctions on russia... ...for war crimes forced to pay hundreds of millions for toxic pollution... ...putting profits ahead of our kid's health. tell your senators to reject rex tillerson. and protect american interests not corporate interests.

so if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the car, geico's emergency roadside assistance is there 24/7. oh dear, i got a flat tire. hmmm. uh... yeah, can you find a take where it's a bit more dramatic on that last line, yeah? yeah i got it right here. someone help me!!! i have a flat tire!!! well it's good... good for me. what do you think?

could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. now we take a look a back at this long and wild week in politics. fasten your seat belts. on monday, donald trump's son-in-law jared kushner named senior advisor to the president-elect, raising questions about nepotism. tuesday, the first cabinet confirmation hearings were over shadowed when buzzfeed published an unverified dossier filled with unsubstantiated allegations about the president-elect's links to russia. ondn

awaited news conference. but questions about the plan were drowned about by his clashes with the media and the intelligence community. then yesterday we learned that the justice department's inspector general will review fbi director james comey's handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. >> then today we woke up to another donald trump tweet storm. this one more about the dossier and more about hillary clinton. >> nbc news political director chuck todd joins us now. it's all getting very exhausting, chuck. it seems like we can't get to the bottom of one issue before another and then another one and another one comes up. >> well, and you know, not to -- and i don't know if you planned on already asking me about this, but i just interviewed john lewis for the show sunday. add that to this wild week. john lewis, civil rights icon and influential member of congress said that donald trump's not legitimate, does not believe

legitimate. he believes it was a russian conspiracy that did it. i pressed him and said what do you do about it? he just believes you've got to continue to speak out. he sees this as a moral calling. he is going to have influence among -- his words are going to resonate with a lot of democrats. look, you've had official democratic leaders who have walked up to the line on the legitima legitimacy question but not crossed it. >> we have that sound bite. let's listen. >> i don't think this president-elect has a legitimate president. >> you do not consider him a legitimate president? why is that? >> i think the russians participated in helping this man get

and they helped destroy the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> well, also, it sort of feels in a way like when you go the carnival and you're in a house of mirrors. i mean, the confirmation hearings, a lot of his cabinet members are contradicting their policies are counter to what he says. >> it's like you're movie ing forward at warp speed. >> i don't know how to keep anything straight. >> we are a week out and never before have we had this much uncertainty during what is supposed to be this peaceful transition of power. and there is a giant cloud hanging over this transition right now. it is russia. the easy political answer to this is for the incoming president to simply say we've got to get to the bottom of this. his foreign policy -- i

foreign policy and to set it in ways that it isn't going to get questioned not just here in the united states but around the world, he needs this cloud rid of him. the only way to do it where you're going to have a believable bipartisan joint investition to get to the full bottom of this. i do think this week is the crescendo that you saw. they basically did their best to turn every single confirmation hearing into some proxy debate on russia. and you've got john lewis's statement. you've got the investigation into the fbi. you've got what appears to be still an open investigation io where there any ties between any american campaigns and the russian government. so throwing all of that in there, there's just all this uncertainty under there. it is going to hamstring him i

he needs this to be cleared up. the easiest way to do it is not to fight the investigation, but to embrace it. >> he's still tweeting this morning about hillary clinton being guilty or whatever. do you think that the review of james comey's handling of that e-mail investigation -- >> will that do anything? >> i don't know where that goes. what's fascinating about that inspector general call is that apparently it was members of both parties for different reasons that they wanted comey and what he did in the circumstances around it investigated. look, i think for the fbi's sake that is needed. you don't want -- we -- i mean, how many entities in this country and our democracy that have half or more of the country not believing them, we can't continue to have this pile up. you've got us in the news media, congress, donald trump, the fbi, the cia. i mean, this is not what a functioning democracy looks like right

saying those phrases sometimes, but if this were taking place in another country, we would say their political situation appears to be a bit unstable right now. our political situation appears to be a bit unstable. >> so many questions, so little time. chuck's guests on sunday include senator diane feinstein and reince priebus. an untraditional and busy first week for maryland's new senator chris van hollen. he has already proposed a series of formal amendments to slow or block the repeal of the affordable care act. news4 caught up with him inside the russell senate building. >> normal

senators not to speak for many weeks on the floor of the senate. i decided it's no more business as usual. these are extraordinary times. maryland's senior senator helped oversee the confirmation hearings for donald trump's new nominee for secretary of state. there is a porta potty cover up having on the national mall right now. it's true. somebody is putting masking tape on all the portable bathrooms set up for the inauguration. the tape is covering the name of the company which owns the toilets, johns jodon's johns. a spokesperson for the company says there are times at certain events when sponsors want the name covered but that was not the agreement for the inauguration. takata agrees to pay a billion dollars over deadly and defective air bags. what this means to the millions

this harrowing rescue changed the course of aviation history. now 35 years later see what's next for one of the

then by the around 5:00 a.m., note some snow possible. d.c., leesburg, maybe winchester. and then freezing rain and sleet beginning to move up. 8:00 tomorrow morning you wake up to snow or sleet early. by noon, some rain down to the south, changing over. just about everybody seeing rain tomorrow afternoon. it's tomorrow morning we have the biggest impacts but even those impacts don't look to be huge. >> the good news is crews have been out there treating the roads today. anything that's falling during the morning hours is looking pr

we're thinking the main roads looking just fine. it's the secondary and side roads that you do want to be cautious of. in the mountains freezing rain looking likely with a freezing rain advisory in parts of the mountains. in these situations, bridges and overpasses are always colder. again be cautious of those. the weather tomorrow having a moderate impact on our day, not a high impact. this is in no way a crippling system. it's just a nuisance. the rest of the holiday weekend not looking so bad. >> yeah. just on the cool side compared to what we've been over the past couple of days. the biggest concern tomorrow morning probably around 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. on sunday, temperatures back to 45 degrees. 40 degrees on monday with a chance of shower activity, not a lot there. look at next week. some very warm temperatures here. another chance of rain on wednesday. look at inauguration

61. if we do get to 61, that would be the warmest inauguration ever in our area. that's good for all the reporters out there, right guys? >> a lot of us are going to appreciate the warmer temperatures. a message to the muslim community ahead of donald trump's inauguration. what the fbi wants them to know. as investigators zero in on the cause of that deadly house fire, the

afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.

tonight a northern virginia muslim leader says he thinks political disagreement or fear may keep people in his community from attending the inauguration of donald trump next week. >> some of their worries may have been eased when a top official came to their friday prayers. >> reporter: well, the fbi and other law enforcement officials came to this mosque today to try to ease tensions that arose during the 2016 presidential campaign and persist even today. this was the fbi's promise, we will protect this community, the muslim community just like any other. call it a show of reassurance. add frid at friday

federal law enforcement representatives came to deliver a message. >> the essence of our mission is to keep people safe. and we do that fairly and equally. >> reporter: a spike in hate crimes and the rhetoric of the 2016 presidential campaign leaves many muslims on edge. today's appearance by law enforcement, appreciated. >> helps a lot. make us feel safe and he asked us to be -- watch for anything that's going to happen and report it. >> reporter: the fbi's paul abate says his visit today, just a continuation of an ongoing relationship with this mosque, with the muslim community. >> that's the job we do each and every day, keeping people safe and stopping and preventing hate crimes is a huge part of that. it's among our highest priorities. >> reporter: the imam here says fear of being singled out or targeted will keep some muslims from going to the inauguration. >> muslims whether they are for or against or want tor a pa

of history, they're not going because there will be some people there that it might not be safe for them to attend a public gathering of trump supporters. >> reporter: this grad student says he would consider going if his schedule permitted. >> honestly i would love to go. i would love to go and participate in such a big event. i will be at school unfortunately. >> reporter: you might be wondering whether law enforcement made this visit today with the inauguration in mind. the fbi's representative tells me there's not really a connection. the timing was not political. just coincidental. right now, a mother and two of her children remain in critical condition after a devastating fire at their baltimore home. an -year-old girl is being called a hero for pulling two of her siblings from the flames. six other siblings died. the victims range in age from 9 months to 11 years old. a go fund me account has been

than $160,000 raised so far. >> reporter: firefighters arrived to massive flames just three minutes after the alarm went out. this early thursday morning fire killed six children and sent their mother and three other children to the hospital. an 8-year-old girl has been released. the mother and two boys, aged 4 ra and 5, are still hospitalized. >> they are still this critical condition. >> reporter: the cause of this deadly blaze is still under investigation. a space heater may have been a factor. maryland's fire marshal says it's an all too common cause during the winter months. he says they should be at least three feet from anything that can burn. >> at night turn it off, unplug

fire is detected often depends on plans laid out well before the flames. >> practice with your family and discuss it with them, just over a meal, over the dinner table. >> reporter: and often seemingly small steps can buy precious time should the worst happen. before you go to bed -- >> make sure the bedroom doors are closed at night and that it's going to slow or stop down any smoke or fire, give them a little bit more time to escape. >> reporter: other common causes of fire, fireplaces. ashes may look like they've cooled down, but those looks can be deseceiving. >> don't put it in your trash can. >> reporter: it's not clear if any of those safety tips would have helped this family, but officials believe they would have been a definite different tc

the investigation continues. in baltimore, derrick ward, news4. today the justice department announced a criminal penalty against japanese air bag maker takata. the company agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and to pay $1 billion in fines and restitution for the company's sale of faulty air bag inflaters. susan hogan has been working on this story all day. >> this is a very big deal, of course. and as a result of this investigation, three of their top executives at takata were actually indicted. the u.s. attorneys at the doj did not hold back their feelings about these three men. they said since 2000 these executives systemically -- the inflaters were failing and rupturing but the indictment reveals that these executives over e-ma

the need to falsify those reports to their customers. >> will nany of the fine go to the victims? >> yes. right now they have 16 people who have actually died world wide. over 100 injuries. so about $125 million of that billion are going to go to the victims. >> does this mean the investigation is over? >> not by a long shot. the doj made that very, very clear. they said it is continuing to look at other takata executivinexecutives and their role in the coverup. today's plea deal should send a strong message that if you sell products in the united states designed to protect our safety and you put profits ahead of safety, you will be held accountable. and boy, are they holding takata

accountable. still ahead, a surprise from local police officers for a young boy who's battling cancer. >> reporter: you might not recognize it at first dplanglan but chances are you've seen this helicopter before. i'll tell you why one of the most famous helicopters in history is back in the eagle's nest. i'll show you which part of theay could be the worst dfo

35 years later, how this helicopter that made history was saved from the scrap yard and

35 years ago today, one of the most harrowing helicopter rescues we've ever seen was captured on video. the air florida disaster here killed 78 people. five others were rescued from that plane in the frozen potomac by two u.s. park police officers and their helicopter. that chopper almost ended up in the scrapyard. but it's been fully restored and will become the center piece of a new um

freezing, snowy day. air florida flight 90 hit the 14th street bridge and then landed in the potomac river. despite the weather, u.s. park police pilot don usher and his residen rescue technician gene windsor took off and completed one of the greatest rescues in aviation history. >> i don't think anybody thought a helicopter would get up on that day. but it got up and it went out and saved lives. >> reporter: one by one they plucked the victims from the frozen river and delivered them to the safety of rescuers on shore. while the weather was one obstacle it was far from the most dangerous part of the rescue. pulling victims from the water and care rging them to the shore was an even bigger challenge. >> the risk was incredible. as close as that blade comes to the side of the bank, had that tail

this might be a different story. >> reporter: he says there was an even more dangerous maneuver usher and windsor pulled off that day. as the last survivor struggled to stay afloat, usher made the decision to dip the skid of the helicopter into the river so windsor could reach her and get her to safety. >> that is not something we hope to ever do, a tremendously risky maneuver, high risk for high results. >> reporter: that rescue inspired a future generation of park police officers. >> i remember watching the rescue on the evening news. and i said to myself, it would be -- that's what i want to do with my life. >> reporter: that rescue left more than just a legacy for the park police. >> i think that rescue changed aviation rescue in this country. >> partly because of that mission, we convinced the department to

larger aircraft that has twin engines. >> reporter: unlike the larger helicopters used today, usher only had one engine. and windsor didn't have a hoist, only a rope with a life ring on the end. after the air florida rescue, that chopper spent a few more years in service with the park police. and then like a lot of government equipment, it was repurposed. >> the bureau of land management used it for many years. then it was set to be retired and scrapped. >> reporter: that's right, the helicopter that saved five lives and changes aviation rescue, was headed for the scrap heap. that's where the national law enforcement museum stepped in. through an act of congress they were able to save the chopper and have it restored. >> it certainly didn't look like -- it didn't have the u.s. park police colors anymore. the interior had been changed over. it had worked hard. >> reporter: today the helicopter don ushend

windsor flew has been restored to its original condition. and it's back at the park police hangar. but its final destination is still being built downtown. the helicopter will be the center piece of the national law enforcement museum when it opens in 2018. >> it would have been a terrible, terrible shame had we lost this aircraft. if history had lost this aircraft. >> so glad that aircraft is being preserved. i haven't seen it. as many times as i've seen stories about that air florida disaster, i haven't seen it described quite like that before. >> they needed that chopper that day and those dtwo guys inside that chopper. it was great what they did. >> quite a contrast between the weather on this day 35

>> yeah. temperatures in the 20s that day, six inches of snow. today, completely different. yesterday 72. today temperatures in the 50s. tomorrow we do get back into the 30s. yeah, we will have some ice in parts of our area, some snow too is trying to move in. storm team 4 radar showing what's happening out there, not much in our area. you could see the moisture making its way our way. look at the northern edge here. if you just follow that northern edge of moisture right there, d.c. south and northern virginia is going to get hit tonight first. take a look at these numbers. we're still well above freezing. everybody above freezing here except for pittsburgh at 31. we've got to go down a long way before we see any real impacts from this storm.

at least a light to moderate event. not a major impact tomorrow at all. but a winter weather advisory is posted. does include prince george's and points to the north. we're going to be seeing mainly sleet, i think. maybe rain to snow and then to sleet. i do think sleet will be the predominant form of moisture here. sleet and snow to rain and areas here in the blue. little bit of ice down to the south, maybe a little bit of sleet here, but mainly rain there. and then snow to ice back to the west. not too worried about freezing rain except toward the mountains. road conditions tomorrow, 8:00 a.m., not going to be horrible, but some of the back roads may not be too bad. 11:00 a.m. i think we're going to be okay. temperatures tomorrow around 34. 45 on sunday. couple showers on

there's some movement in the coaching ranks with the road consisten redskins, more movement. >> the redskins are now in search of a new offensive coordinator. 30-year-old shawn mcvay is now the new head coach of the l.a. rams, becoming the youngest head coach in nfl history. the redskins parted ways with joe barry last week. so now the burgundy and gold have some important positions to

to make history would not have happened without a successful run in washington. >> i spent the last seven years there and formed some of the most special relationships i was able to develop there. it was a great experience for me, relationships that i'll carry on with me as i continue my coaching journey here in l.a. that opportunity was something that i'll always cherish. i am a much better coach for having been able to work with guys like that. i thank you and you guys are very special to me. john wall did not practice today, but did take free throws to test his left wrist and right pinkie finger. that's the same wrist wall broke two years ago in the playoffs against atlanta. but the pinkie seems to be the bigger issue when it comes to shooting. f
