>> it was a nice start to the weekend. you don't want to forget your umbrella if you're headed out today. isn't that right, tom? >> that's right. we have some rain moving in from the west early on this sunday morning. a lot of clouds around. it's milder. we're into the 40s just about everywhere. here's a look at storm team 4 radar showing these areas in green. that's all rain. it's now coming in from the west, heading east. leading edge of that rain now around the panhandle of west virginia. it's going to be moving into our northern suburbs in another hour or so. some of this light rain will be coming through. temperatures now are in the 40s just about everywhere. reagan national how at 47 degrees. in addition, we've got a high wind warning. this area in orange for the metro from 11:00 p.m. tonight to 6:00 p.m. monday, we could have winds gusting up to 60 miles an hour with spotty power outages and wind damage. more on that in a few minutes. >> tom, thank you so much. president trump is facing one of his first international

a missile into the sea. it appears to be the country's first missile test since the president took office. the u.s. military says it landed in the east sea early sunday morning. japan's prime minister, who's spending the weekend with the president in florida, condemned the launch while president trump pledged to support the u.s. ally. >> i just want everybody to understand and fully know that the united states of america stands behind japan. it's a great ally. 100%. >> the u.s. military says the launch poses no threat to the u.s. and was not an intercontinental ballistic missile. north korea has conducted missile tests in the past with its most recent in september. well, president trump is expected to wrap up his weekend with japan's prime minister today. this comes as he's hinting at trying a new

executive order, which could come as early as tomorrow. nbc's kelly o'donnell has the details. >> reporter: presidential diplomacy marked with trump's personal brand. the white house motorcade carried the president and the japanese prime minister from the president's palm beach home at mar-a-lago to a trump golf club. no media coverage permitted, but the president sent out a photo of his round with shinzo abe on twitter. all part of a three-day whirlwind of hospitality from the white house, aboard marine one, to a patio dinner at the president's home. during the flight to florida, the president hinted that after court defeats of his seven-country travel ban, he's ready to try a different approach. >> we'll win that battle, but we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order on monday. >> reporter: mr. trump tweeted a statistic about the refugee flow. our

77% of refugees allowed into u.s. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries. so dangerous. here are the numbers. 882 refugees from those countries were admitted during one week. from syria, 359. from iraq, 252. none from yemen or libya. the state department says the figure cited by the president is correct but pointed out the ban had created a backlog of vetted refugees, so the number appeared higher than usual when the courts allowed them to enter the u.s. meanwhile, another milestone for melania trump, who hosted mrs. abe for a luncheon and garden tour, mrs. trump's first solo duties as the first lady. >> and that was nbc's kelly o'donnell reporting. meanwhile, here in d.c., take a look. a group of protesters held a candle light walk against the president's travel ban. they started out at the

center and then walked to vice president mike pence's residence. the group has held similar protests for the past two weekends. saturday marked a day of protests across the nation. in new york city, pro and anti-planned parenthood protests took place. supporters said they are against the attempts to defund the organization, while people against the organization rallied right across the street saying planned parenthood is, quote, selling lies to women. protesters in north carolina took to the streets calling for the repeal of house bill two. it's the controversial law requiring transgender people to use bathrooms that match the sex on their birth certificates. the march was part of the annual moral march on raleigh, which is led by the state's naacp. and in minneapolis, there was a so-called walk of love. thousands of people walked to support immigration in light of president trump's executive order banning u.s. entry from seven majority muslim nation

politics of the week on today's "meet the press." chuck todd will have sunday exclusives with senator bernie sanders and former virginia senator jim webb. chuck will join us for a live preview in a few minutes. protecting history amid construction in bethesda. members of the macedonia baptist church will take to the streets today in an effort to preserve what could be sacred space. news 4's tom sherwood explains why. we will return with that story in just a moment. first, let's talk about what's going on outside. >> oh, yeah. it's warming up, but the rain, it will be here soon. tom's updating his forecast with when you can expect the showers and those strong winds coming to your neighborhood. rushing water and a driver in danger. look at this video. the dramatic rescue as flash flood waters quickly started to rise. we're back in a moment.

creating a cleaner environment by using cleaner energy sources like solar, wind and natural gas. we've reduced carbon emissions by nearly 25%, which is the equivalent of taking close to two million cars off the road. cleaner air and cleaner water. it's good for all of us. dominion. depend on us for more than energy.

take a look at these dramatic images coming out of california. this firefighter lowered a life vest to the man there as well as the young girl. this as water continues to rush below them. they, along with a man in another car, were caught in a flash flood in santa clarita, just north of los angeles. the other man was also rescued and no one was hurt. very, very scary there. glad they're okay. protecting history amid construction in bethesda. members of the macedonia baptist church, as we told you earlier, they're going to take to the streets today, all in an effort to preserve what could be sacred space. here's tom sherwood. >> reporter: traffic zooming along river road in bethesda near th

line. traffic too busy to notice the little macedonia baptist church. here since 1920, a center of what was an african-american community that dated back to the civil war but whose families were pushed out by redevelopment beginning in the 1950s. >> and so essentially, this community was displaced and was displaced all over the washington, d.c., area. >> reporter: harvey matthews is a church trustee for its 75 members. he grew up nearby, playing among the sycamore trees. now the church is holding a rally this sunday after services to insist this bit of open space nearby is protected and respected as a former cemetery. >> when i was 9, 10, 11 years old, we used to play hide and go seek in that cemetery. >> reporter: the cemetery area lies behind the mcdonald's, a small part of the multimillion dollar

project. montgomery county council president represents the west bard area. he wrote county planners asking them to use radar imaging to survey the land before any construction approvals are taken up on february 23rd. >> if there is any burial grounds there, that's important to know. >> reporter: church members say their rally on sunday there insist the surface land may have changed, but their ancestors must be respected. in bethesda, tom sherwood, news 4. and you don't have to drive very far to visit one of the oldest churches in america. take a trip to falls church, and you'll come across the falls church episcopal. yesterday it honored the slaves who helped build the church brick by brick. the congregation dedicated a plaque inscribed with the word "repentance." >> be with us now as we pause with gratitude and repentance to honor the slaved people whose skill and labor buil

church. >> the word repentance and the connotation really made a difference. >> and the church says this is an effort to acknowledge the past and help with healing. well, turning to the weather, the weather is turning on us, it seems. >> rain showers and then some crazy wind that we've got to look out for. >> big gusts. that's what's in store. we're going to check in with storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein. what you seeing? >> everything is calm and quiet now, but by this time tomorrow morning, you'll be waking up to howling winds that may keep you up late tonight. the winds will start kicking in around 11:00 tonight. between now and then, a lot of clouds around and some rain showing up on radar. areas of light rain, most of it going to be passing west and north of the metro area. right now the leading edge into fredrick county and

county. by noon tamtime, it may settle . another late round of rain may move in this afternoon. it ends by sunset. we have high wind warning in th this orange area. in this warned area, this is where we could see winds gusting up as high as 50 to 60 miles an hour. that would cause some power outages and wind damage. it's in effect from 11:00 p.m. tonight until 6:00 p.m. on monday. right now we're in the 40s everywhere. we're at 47 at reagan national. hour by hour, we'll be maybe around 50 by 10:00 with a little light rain. near 60 at 2:00 p.m. clearing after that and getting windy by 10:00 tonight. back down to near 50 degrees. storm team 4 ten-day outlook, by dawn on monday, near 40 degrees with some strong gusts of wind. that wind will settle down by sunset monday afternoon. lots of sunshine tomorrow. highs reaching near 50. then near freezingy

tuesday. but then mild again tuesday afternoon. the mid-50s and partly sunny. partly sunny again on wednesday, up around 50. still, rather chilly toward the end of the week. morning lows near freezing. afternoon highs, mid-40s. then it starts getting mild again next weekend. temperatures will be climbing to near 60 next saturday. the upper 60 next sunday into the first part of next week. that's the way it looks. >> up and down. thank you, tom. >> roller coaster continues. keep your seat belt on. "reporters notebook" is up next for you. >> and we're back in 15 minutes with more of the day's top stories. good morning. i'm pat lawson muse. d.c. issues are on the congressional agenda this week. the city's death with dignity law passed overwhelming by the council could be nullified. right now it's in the crosshairs of a house committee. scott, what happens with this next? >> it's the u.s. house oversight committee, which has a lot of local members, by the

just from d.c. but virginia and maryland. they'll mark it up tomorrow night when some of the members get back to town. they do have the authority to what they call disapprove of the district's legislation and really throw quite a wrench in the system. >> the city has had the home rule passed by congress in 1973. you shou under that, it is supposed to take care of all the local matters. congress, because it has full legislative authority, those are the words in the u.s. constitution, over the district, some of the members -- jason chaffetz of utah, the chairman of this committee, thinks they can jump in on any issue the city brings up. legally, they can. people don't think they should. that's a different fight. he doesn't like this death with dignity bill. he wants to kill it. the full house has to approve the disapproval. the senate has to approve, and the president, president trump, has to sign it all before the deadline i think friday

>> for many, guys, this is the latest attack on d.c. autonomy. it's even spawned a new campaign called hands off d.c. what do we know about that? >> councilmember charles allen from ward six is chairman of the ju can di judiciary committee. he sent a letter to jason chaffetz asking if he wanted to attend one of the public hearings. people have signed up to meet to figure out ways to push back against congress. the city would have zero power if congress wanted to do something. >> yes, that's right. >> if they can persuade other members of congress, hey, you focus on the national issues, we'll take care of our city. >> there's no disputing the constitution does reserve full legislative authority over the city. but that authority wasn't intended to overrule home rules. >> i got to tell you, there's a bigger issue, in my mind. not only is there zero political cost to members of congress

outside d.c. for doing this, for having efforts that intervene in the district of columbia's autonomy. what's more, there's almost a political benefit to doing so. you go back home to utah, north dakota, or florida and say, i was there and i was pushing back against d.c. >> those federal workers and the liberals don't know what they're doing. but when the home rule act was passed in 1973, it was passed to, quote, relieve congress of the day-to-day operations of the city government. the city, as everyone knows, the district has no elective power in congress except a delegate who can only vote in committee, not on the house floor. we don't have senators. so this is the biggest fight since the '90s when the home rule charter was suspended and they put in the federal control board to control the city. even then, eleanor holmes norton supported it and backed tom davis from virginia, saying the city dra

congress helped the city at that point. now people in the city at least think that congress is just interfering. >> two of the washington region's newest local congressional leaders are stirring the waters. interestingly, chris van holland in maryland, and jamie raskin. >> so chris is doing what no freshman senator has done in quite some time. been an active voice and an active participant on the senate floor. tradition has it that new sna d senators don't speak on the floor for months. >> seen but not heard. >> he's been both seen and heard, speaking about the president's cabinet nominees and any issue he seems to be pleased about. he's on the senate floor being active. that's a change of pace. what's more, he's also running the democrat senate campaign committee. he's running the re-election campaigns of democratic

jamie raskin seems to be adopting somewhat of a bernie sanders type role, speaking about issues far and wide that transcend his congressional district, getting himself a lot of attention. >> and continuing what he did in the maryland legislature. but chris is respected across the aisle. even those who don't agree with him, he's kind of a courtly, nice person who can talk in the room. when he got in the room trying to fix social security, and when donna edwards ran against him, she hammered him on that. you were willing to compromise on social security. he said, look, we have to talk to each other in order to get things done. he's very strong. he's very partisan. we should be watching him a lot on capitol hill. >> all right. let's go from capitol hill to the white house. scott, you spent some time there this week. describe the atmosphere. >> the press room is standing room only.

be a change in strategy by the people who run the white house press operation, the people who are speaking to americans through the white house press briefing room. they are kind of distances themselves from what we call the front row reporters, the national reporters, those who work for the wire services, cable, and network television. they're picking people from regional media outlets. they're having them skype in from cities far, far away. the cities want to speak not to the hot button processing issues, they want to talk to the local, regional reporters and their parochial interests. perhaps they think that's a good way to avoid causing more trouble for this president, but also it speaks to the base of the president. >> and they like being heard, tom. >> here's the big issue though. did you get called on? >> not yet, but it's a matter of time. they're looking to get outside the dust-up of the day. they'd rather talk about the issues important to local journalists. >> and the daily briefing i think is at 1:30. it's on cable television.

>> way up. >> partly because of "saturday night live." whether you like president trump or not, we are in a period of turmoil where he's doing exactly what he said he would do. he would come to town and shake things up. >> all right. got to take a break. we'll be right back. stay with us. did you know 90% of couples disagree on mattress firmness? fortunately there's a bed where you both get what you want every night. enter sleep number and the ultimate sleep number event, going on now. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. she likes the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow! only at a sleep number store. and right now save 50% on the ultimate limited edition bed. go to sleepnumber.com for a store near you.

the good news and the bad news at metro. first the bad. another 200 jobs are being cut from managers to front line workers. general manager says he has to make the cuts in order to help erase the red ink. many of those positions had gone unfilled but not all of them. scott and tom, they cut 500 positions last year, and the goal is to cut a thousand. that means there are more cuts to come. more pain to come. >> i know the general manager doesn't like firing people, but the fact is many people

that metro is a huge bureaucracy and needs to be streamlined. one of the issues is dealing with the transit union in terms of what they're going to do, in terms of management, in terms of disciplinary actions against employees, and just compensation. there's a lot of fights going on to make metro run better in the management system so that the trains will run better. >> serious crime is down. that's good. but serious assaults are up. there are metro train lines that a lot of people don't want to ride because they're afraid. >> most specifically the green line. you hear that more about the green line than any other line. >> several of those stations, yes. >> when we talk about metro rail, we're talking about a fraction of metro's operations. there's a major bus service that carries a half million people through the region each day. when you talk about crime, it's underground crime and this crime that truly happens on the buses, on t

it's a few things you should note. some crime levels are up. others are down. fewer phone thefts. that was a big problem for a while, people getting their phones snatched. bike thefts, fare evasions, criations acry citations going up. metro officers are try to spread out. paul has changed a few things. he's changed some of the protocols the police have to follow. they're no longer wearing those tradition until blue uniforms we've seen them in. they're now all wearing fluorescent vests. they want to be more noticeable. one of the biggest complaints metro gets from his passengers, riders, even employees, they don't think they see the police enough. so he said, let's put some fluorescent green vests so they're not missable and they're seen. >> if i may say so, that's one of my personal complaints about metro. too often you don't see the police officers unless they have one of these security exercises where the police officers come out, they've got their weapons,

train. what we need is day-to-day observation of police officers on the platforms, on the green line, everywhere. the chief said, well, we don't have enough officers to do it. i said, why not? >> let me add this one point. three times a week, metro is doing something they call h.i.t.e. high intensity target enforcement. they're going to stop at one location. every bus that comes through, they'll board with a series of officers and ask, anybody on he here evade their fare, anybody hitting anybody, and pull those passengers office. they're targeting nickel and dime crimes because those are the most pervasive and affect the quality of the service and experience. >> that's the kind of experience where somebody may choose simply not to ride the bus because it's uncomfortable, they may think it's dangerous. >> the transit police chief says his officers need more

technology. he also says they need to be able to communicate with other police jurisdictions. >> this all goes back to they need better funding. that's an age-old debate that's not going anywhere. >> interoperability. >> meanwhile, the d.c. council has rejected an emergency resolution proposed by ward seven councilmember vincent gray to deal with crime on the streets. he wants to put more police on the streets by getting more police to stay on the force by doubling their salaries. the council didn't go along with that. >> you can retire on the d.c. police force after 30 years and get 80% of your salary. it's a really strong inducement for officers with experience. gray came under the council, former mayor, says look, we have to stop that. let's double their pay in the last few years so they'll stay longer. the chairman of the judiciary c

look, i've been chairman for a month. i've got several ideas. we've got a lot of ideas to improve the pay and retention of the police officers. let's not do this in a rush. let's do this by the spring. we'll have hearings and know what to do. >> d.c. police think they want and need 4,000 officers. they don't have 4,000 officers. they've struggle to get even near 4,000 officers in recent years. tom and i have learned in addition to that legislation vincent gray proposed, there will be a renewed push for other legislation to give anybody who's a law enforcement officer in d.c. and lives in the district $10,000 forgivable loan to help them buy a house and pay the cost of living in a district, which is prohibitive to getting officers to come work here. >> and maybe 10,000 in addition. but only about 17% of the force lives in the city. most of the officers live in maryland. some of the officers will say, look, i love the district of columbia. i love being a police officer here. but when i'm off, when i'm not on duty, i want to be

the district so i won't feel like people are going to call on me 24/7. >> i have to ask you this. vincent gray made this proposal. was the rejection at all political? >> it was in part. gray addressed this when he was talking. he said, a lot of people think this is me running for mayor again or mayoral politics. he might run for mayor again next year. he might. we don't know. but some people didn't want to promote vince gray this early and didn't want to overstep the chairman of the judiciary. >> he could leave that dangling out there to get more attention. >> here's the deal. the mayor's race is 2018. but this will be in full form by the middle of this summer. >> all right. tom sherwood, scott macfarlane. thank you, gentlemen. that's "reporters notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. "news 4 today" continues.

wounds at the same time that police began investigating. detectives determined he was shot during the same incident. they don't think the shooting was random. we know that a baby is in kritd ca critical condition this morning after overdosing on methadone while in the care of her grandmother. police say the grandmother picked him up and she noticed he wasn't himself. he was rushed to the emergency room and given several doses of naloxone. a possible case of mistaken identity after a doctramatic art at a maryland casino. police say the man arrested friday night at the maryland live casino was not involved in a carjacking or shooting. initially they thought he was linked to a shooting that happened in the district just before 10:00 p.m. police followed what they thought was the suspected car. however, they did have reason

>> he was in possession of over 40 grams of marijuana, a substantial amount of cash, over a thousand dollars. and he did have a warrant out for failure to appear in a criminal trial. >> police are still looking for that carjacking and shooting suspect. the boyfriend of a reporter who was killed on live tv in 2015 is now running for the virginia house of delegates. chris hurst, who was a news anchor at wdbj, says he'll seek the democratic nomination. he was dating allison parker while she was shot and killed while conducts an interview. he left the station on friday. hurst says reducing gun violence will be a big part of his campaign, but he's also interested in other issues. now that president trump's choice for health and human services secretary is on the job, republicans are moving forward with plans to repeal and replace the affordable care act. but some lawmakers are facing tensions at their town halls with people looking for answers about the future of

and now more on the serious crash that has a man in critical condition right now, fighting for his life. we know that police say that it might have been caused because of speed racers on the roadways. we know the cars collided here on connecticut avenue in kensington. news 4's darcy spencer has more. >> reporter: montgomery county police say this crash scene may be the result of a race between two drivers on connecticut avenue in kensington. one of these two cars, they say, may have been involved in that race. the driver of the other car was trying to make a turn from connecticut to denfeld avenue when he was t-boned. diane says she was involved in a similar crash a year ago. >> it makes me mad, really. criminal. it's irresponsible. i think somebody will probably end up in prison for this one though. it's pretty bad. >> reporter: the crash happened at 5:30 in the afternoon. police say the driver of the

that was t-boned is in critical condition. the other driver serious. police say another driver who may have been racing came back to the scene after the crash and is cooperating with authorities. the crash happened across from an elementary school. neighbors told me they've been pushing for safety changes to this intersection. >> they had speed cameras here for a little while on southbound connecticut, but then they're gone. it's 40-mile-an-hour speed limit on a state highway street. but you never really see any police out here monitoring the speed. especially this time of night, people can go pretty fast. >> reporter: at this point, no charges have been filed. authorities are looking for anyone who may have possibly seen the race or seen this crash. if you have information that could help, you're asked to call montgomery county police. darcy spencer, news 4. well, if you think you've been spending more time commuting these days, you likely have. that's especially true if you live in montgomery county. a new re

good morning. we've got some rain moving into the metro area, coming in from the west. we'll have off-and-on light rain as we get into the afternoon hours, moving from west to east. i've got new hour-by-hour timing on the rain. then some strong winds to follow. all that coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you, tom. almost three weeks into the trump presidency, and we're seeing a major court battle play out over immigration. >> joining us now, moderator of "meet the press," chuck todd. tomorrow the president is -- well, he said he was going to issue a new executive order. all eyes on this, how this could change the legal battle.

are lined up, ready to pounce. what are we expecting? >> you know, when you look at the decision by the ninth circuit when they rejected it, they gave a road map to the administration on how to redo the order and how to do it so it would pass legal muster. i think that, you know, if you take the administration for what it's worth, that they believe this is a national security issue that's imminent, that there's urgency, then why would you allow a court process to drag this through. why not simply rewrite. we know that president trump doesn't like to admit failure. you could say, we know we would win this court fight and might continue to pursue it, but for now, we're going to do this. >> is it fair to say that there has been this learning curve? i know we talked about it right after he got elected. this is much different than running a business and calling the shots. how is the staff faring? >> look, i think he is getting a

yeah, congress takes time to approve your cabinet secretaries. and you know what, the judiciary branch is just as powerful as the executive branch. so not everything you say immediately goes into law. i think he is -- we've had plenty of inexperienced presidents. what makes this president different is he came in with a very inexperienced staff who just didn't have -- there isn't anybody with the knowledge on the inner workings of the government, the bureaucratic knowledge of it. if you think about it, you had george w. bush who was inexperienced, but he had a guy like dick cheney who knew things. barack obama had people like joe biden or rahm emanuel. there's nobody like that in trump's word right now. i thi -- trump's world right now. that's been the learning curve. >> absolutely. taking big hit, some of his staff members. we've seen the pushback from some of the democrats in the senate. elizabeth warren had a big spotlight on her, took advantage

are all making plays as this thing plays out. republicans still have the majority. what alternatives are there for the democrats here? >> well, look, on one hand they have all this energy. the party is trying to figure out, how do you capture the energy, the energy they didn't have before the election obviously that they wanted. how do you capture that energy, use it to rebuild the party. at the same time, what is it that the base wants? do they want -- right now the senate democratic leadership is assuming the base wants all opposition all the time. does that mean they want a full-fledged progressive agenda, or if this far move to the left, does it alienate folks in the middle? we'll see. look, there are plenty of democrats that thought the republicans were getting dragged too far to the right by the tea party. well, you could argue that eight years later, they've got control of the presidency, house, and senate. and that base enthusiasm helped them in these midterms. there are plenty of democrats looking at the tea party as the model.

speak with senator bernie sanders. >> and then we're going to talk to former virginia senator jim webb, who was one of the last remaining centrists in the united states senate, the endangered species of american politics. >> interesting conversation as always. chuck, thank you so much. well, we do want to remind you, you can catch "meet the press" every sunday here after news 4 today. it's an important job that isn't always appreciated while you're sitting in traffic. >> that's right. an arlington county crossing guard now has a new honor. she was one of six recognized this week for her dedication, her service, her attitude. northern virginia reporter david culver introduces us to the woman on a mission to safely guide children. >> crossing! >> reporter: from arrival to dismissal --

>> reporter: presidential diplomacy marked with trump's personal brand. the white house motorcade carried the president and the japanese prime minister from the president's palm beach home at mar-a-lago to a trump golf club. no media coverage permitted, but the president sent out a photo of his round with shinzo abe on twitter. all part of a three-day whirlwind of hospitality from the white house, aboard marine one, to a patio dinner at the president's home. during the flight to florida, the president hinted that after court defeats of his seven-country travel ban, he's ready to try a different approach. >> we'll win that battle, but we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order on monday. >> reporter: mr. trump tweeted a statistic about the refugee flow. our legal system is broken. 77% of refugees allowed into u.s. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries. so dangerous.

882 refugees from those countries were admitted during one week. from syria, 359. from iraq, 252. none from yemen or libya. the state department says the figure cited by the president is correct but pointed out the ban had created a backlog of vetted refugees, so the number appeared higher than usual when the courts allowed them to enter the u.s. meanwhile, another milestone for melania trump, who hosted mrs. abe for a luncheon and garden tour, mrs. trump's first solo duties as the first lady. >> and that was nbc's kelly o'donnell reporting. meanwhile, here in d.c., take a look. a group of protesters held a candle light walk against the president's travel ban. they started out at the islamic center and then walked to vice president mike pence's residence. the group has held similar protests for the past two weekends. saturday marked a day of protests across the nation. in new york city, pro and
