with the mission of the department of education, but that she is fundamentally incompetent to be its leader. >> democrats hope to sway one more republican to join them in opposing devos. we know that two prominent gop members already have said they will not support her which means that it will all come down at this point with a 50/50 tie it will come down to mike pence casting his vote to break that tie. he is expected to vote in devos' favor. the marathon is expected to go until noon today. that is when they'll hold their final vote on devos' confirmation. we'll continue to follow it. 5:04 right now. the trump administration is also defending that controversial executive order on immigration today. just a matter of hours federal and state lawyers will go before a panel of federal appellate aw

al qaeda in yemen has been of p including the underwear bomber. >> even though the trump administration is new to the national security world and may be getting its feet under it, the counterterrorism community to include the military is well schooled and well oiled in terms of launching these kinds of attacks. >> the white house has declined to comment. a navy s.e.a.l. was killed during that raid. you saw millions of people around the world gather for the women's march including here in washington. now organizers are planning another day of action. the group announced on social media that it wants to hold a strike called a day without women, no date or details have yet been announced. it is a good thing that event is not happening this weekend since metro has some more safe track work planned. the

it will staylo run on the blue line between the rozland and pentagon stations. you can take a bus or take other alternatives in the nbc washington app. while metro works to improve service, transit police say they are already making your commute safer. a new report says overall crime in the metro system is down. >> but not all the news is good. news 4's justin finch is live from one of the stations that saw the most crime and he's going to tell us what to watch out for this morning as you catch your train. good morning. >> reporter: eun, good morning. the minnesota avenue stop took the top crime reports and whether it is your stop or not, the transit agency is asking all riders to be on alert. that of course means being aware of your surroundings and here is why. police are finding violent assaults trending up. so are crimes in parking lots

reports of robberies and burglaries, but system wide, metro is tracking that the trend in 2016 at the top ten stations reporting the most serious crimes are on the green line. transit police continue placing officers where they are needed most and we can tell you that's what's making a difference, police say, are smartphones here. more riders are texting metro and transit police when they see suspicious activity and also too, download our news 4 app of the full list of those top ten stations with the highest crime counts. back in to you. >> thanks, justin. well, you may not be eating as healthy as you might think. a new survey found 60% of americans believe that they are eating a healthy diet. however, 94% of us fall short of the usda recommendations for a healthy diet.

here in penn lvania, the better rain chances will be for today. so keep that in mind. five-day forecast time, check out these numbers. 69, that's a record today. 65 tomorrow. again, most of tomorrow's rain chances will be in the later half of the day. then as we get into thursday, yes indeed, could be a slushy inch or two of snow north and west of the city. so keep that in mind. temperatures should be just high enough to keep much from accumulating here in and around the city. with temperatures close to 40 degrees during the afternoon, any snow that falls should stay off the roadways. that's the good news. however, by the time we get to friday morning temperatures teens and 20s. our biggest issue may be the refreeze going into friday morning. >> reporter: yeah, that i think will be the biggest issue across the area and to be honest with ouro

today and tomorrow, going to be this snow to try to stick really because the pavement is going to be so warm. here's what you need to wear today. raincoat early in the morning because of the rain that chuck just showed you. short sleeves later on this afternoon and sunglasses. you don't really need the warm jacket this morning. maybe it's a little bit chilly where i am at college park, mad m -- maryland, but upper 60s for the forecast. we'll talk more about that in just a little bit. let's check a check of our roadways. >> hi, sheena. report of a new crash. not seeing it on this camera or the next one but 270 north. 66 west after 28 have debris there still hanging around in the right lane. also on the orange line, single track and on the blue and silver line, trains single tracking between stadi

hour talkathon. they hope that they get one more republican to cross over, flip sides and oppose devos which would block her confirmation. if it stays as is, with two republicans saying they won't support her, it will come down to vice president mike pence voting and breaking a tie. we will hear exactly what they're saying coming up at 6:00. back to you. thank you. it is one more day off for savoy elementary students after their school was temporarily shut down because of bugs and rodents. their teachers are setting up new temporary classrooms inside ferebee hope elementary. the students will be bussed there starting tomorrow. this is all happening because savoy is infected with bedbugs and rodents and has to be ex- terminated. one father showed us bite marks on his daughter's arm which doctors told him looked like bedbug bites. >> i wanted the school to be shut down and checked thoroughly, not just a room in the school
