congress returns from recess tuesday night, so that means lawmakers only about three full days to pass that spending bill before friday's deadline. for president trump, the clock is ticking, one week to get a spending bill through congress or face a government shutdown. >> the government is coming along really well. lot of good things are happening, thank you. >> reporter: the budget talks now include a controversial sticking point, the president's long promised border wall. >> we're going to build the wall. mexico's going to pay for the wall. >> reporter: budget director mick mulvaney now insisting the spending plan include billions of dollars for the wall. even some pro-wall lawmakers are against the idea. >> let's get the government funded first and move on to the continuation of the debate. >> reporter: for the president to add another accomplishment before the end of his first 100 days next week. today he tweeted about the deadline, calling it a ridiculous standard,

matter how much i accomplish, pushing concern to provide health care by the end of next week. today a major win on the foreign front. >> we are very happy to have aya back home. >> reporter: securing the release of american aid worker aya hijazi, held prisoner in egypt for three years, despite efforts from president obama. even as president trump faces his biggest foreign challenge yet, north korea, by all indications, preparing for a nuclear test before the end of the weekend. and back to friday's federal funding deadline, the white house says that it's just part of the normal contingency plan to tell agencies to prepare for a possible government shutdown. so for the 500,000 federal workers in our area, all they can do this weekend and into next week is really just watch and hope for a deal before that deadline. >> blayne, nobody wants to see that happen again. thank you. we have not seen muc

former president barack obama since he and mrs. obama departed the capital on inauguration day. just a few vacation sightings. but mr. obama is about to hold his first public event. he plans to hold a town hall meeting on monday at the university of chicago. students and young community leaders are invited. mr. obama has said his post presidential goal is to encourage and support the nation's next generation of leaders. and this weekend, tens of thousands are expected on the national mall. it's the march for science. the main rally kicks off at 10:00 tomorrow morning near the washington monument. marchers head down constitution avenue toward the capitol. organizers are calling it a non-partisan event, but it may have been fueled by recent statements by president trump. the president has called for funding cuts to nih, has voized skepticism about climate change, has suggested vaccines cause autism. one organizers says there's been

sides of the aisle.ticience pol been enacted by people on both sides of the aisle for a long time. we might have reached a tipping point now, but acting as though it's a new thing is giving too much credit to the current administration. >> other marches are planned in hundreds of cities around the world. tomorrow is also earth day upon. you might call this the calm before the storm, the caps getting ready for an important game five tonight at the verizon center. >> they'll be looking to the fans for a lot of energy tonight. carol maloney is live at the verizon center, where the players say they have to continue to play angry. >> reporter: that's right. they want to play angry. the fans are coming in, though. and i see a lot of white knuckles. a little bit nervous. caps have home ice advantage back as we have game five here. the series is tied two apiece. it's a best of three. we're about an hour away from dropping the puck and we're hoping it doesn't happen again, bu

no lead is safe. caps proving that theory the past two games, jumping out to multiple-goal leads, only to let the leafs back in it. tonight, expecting a more desperate brand of hockey from both sides for 60 minutes. >> again, right now, for us, just take the first period, second period and third period and being focusing on every 20 minutes. >> best out of three. and you just, you know that the other team, they're going to be very desperate. just as we were very desperate in game four. they're going to raise their game. and we need to raise our game. they're going to have a better game. and you gotta be ready for a better game. how do you prevent that? by you having a better game. and i think we're capable of that. >> reporter: i was in the locker room this morning and a lot of the players agreed, they're expecting the atmosphere tonight to be the best yet.

we're seeing more and more damage caused by the storms that have moved through tonight. this is a live picture from chopper 4. this is lynnwood place in chevy chase, and as you can see, that's a very large tree on top of somebody's house there. we'll keep you posted on new developments with that storm damage as we get it. one week until government funding runs out, and suddenly the prospect of a shutdown seems more likely. the white house budget director indicating yesterday that obamacare insurance

could become a bargaining chip to force the funding of the border wall. the last government shutdown lasted for 16 days, cut off paychecks for thousands of federal workers and contractors in our area. shut down city services and closed federal tourist attractions such as the national zoo and the smithsonian. >> chuck todd joins us now from "meet the press." can you see any scenario in which democrats would agree to fund that wall between us and mexico? >> no. but i will be stunned if the republicans don't blink here. look, they have -- it is republicans in control of the senate, in control of the house, white house. i'm trying to think of the last time we had a shutdown threat with one party in control of those three entities. all the risk is on the republican side here. look, i think they wanted to see, could they find anybody, throw an offer on the table, see if they c -

they'd like a symbolic victory before a hundred days. is it on health care? doesn't look likely. just getting a vote through the house would be something. tax reform, well, he's going to throw out the proposal next week. having some money in the border wall would be something to say, hey, met the hundred-day deadline. so it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. and here's the thing, house republican leadership, they want nothing to do with these things. they've set the planned parenthood fight aside. like don't introduce any problems over here. because they know they have hard work on health care and tax reform, they don't want to make a government funding bill just as difficult. >> their priorities have nothing to do with president trump's. >> two different places. >> is trump going to do anything to bargain with them or get them to put a fire under them? >> i don't think he's going to do that. if you saw -- look at the attitude he took yesterday on health care. it would be great if we could get a vote, all right, maybe it's the week

care bill? he'd like, look, it be nice, i want to, this week, next week, something like that. this say president that learned the lesson the hard way with one false vote that ended up -- so he's at least publicly not over-promising and i think given what he went through, that's called learning on the job. >> you know how many viewers we have who want to know what's going to happen with that federal shutdown. >> i'm pretty confident. again, if there's a shutdown, it's because republicans are in-fighting with themselves. >> and do they want that on -- they can't blame anyone but themselves. that never looks good. >> i think if they can put obamacare in there, have democrats share some blame on this one, it's tough to convince a vast majority -- wait a minute, you control the house, senate and white house, wait a minute, yes, there are 60-vote issues in the senate, but ultimately, especy

now. like i said, they had gotten rid of the poison pills and looked to be clear sailing, then the white house is going, wait a minute, we want to say the hundred-day thing doesn't matter but we'd like a little symbolic help here. look, common sense is going to win the day. >> in washington, oh my! >> on this -- on this. if republicans say the last government shutdown doesn't penalize the republican party, i would say, don't forget you had the white house health care.gov debacle simultaneously. nine times out of ten, the party that shuts down the government pays a heavy price. >> we just reported former president obama is going to come out and have a public forum for the first time. >> a town hall or something. >> what do you expect? >> look, i

look, he has been -- you could just see him taking baby steps -- been more comfortable deciding that he does want to speak out. you know, george w. bush decided not to. dick cheney took -- instead remember during the first year of of the obama presidency, he sort of spoke out with sort of the verbal rhetorical opponent from the previous administration. it seems as if president obama wants to be his own defender of his administration. >> and on north korea, they're expecting to do another nuclear test before the end of the weekend. what does the trump white house do with that? if that one doesn't blow up? >> look, it's interesting, i think we all need to take a look carefully at what president trump said yesterday about north korea. he was basically invited to ramp up the rhetoric and he did everything he could not only

no, no, there's some progress the chinese are making here. we now know there's going to be a full-on briefing on north korea for all senators middle of next week. look, we don't know exactly what the chinese promised the president during that summit at mar-a-lago a couple weeks ago. but clearly something was promised and i think by next week we'll have a better idea of what it is. >> all right, chuck, always a pleasure. >> got a busy show sunday. . indeed. >>. >> reince priebus, white house chief of staff, more questions about the government shutdown. nancy pelosi, the house democratic leader, and marco rubio. >> those folks and more on "meet the press" sunday morning at 10:30. we've been keeping a close eye on the showers and storms moving through our area, the hail. storm team 4 tracking your friday night and why the weather will be impacting your plans for the weekend. a judge denied bond to a former prince george's county substitute teacher and basketball c w

think we've done a good job using our speed. i think they're starting to get tired of chasing us around a little bit. but i think that's the part of the game for me that's, you know, that's right up my alley. bring some thrg and speed to the game, try and burst that thing open. >> always an energy guy, he's played great all year. and for him to come in and play like he's been doing, it's so surprise to us. i mean, that's the way he plays, with a lot of energy. and he gets an opportunity to play with carly and he's taking advantage of it and it's great to see. >> as smiley as you are here, but on the ice, we can't see, but you're a lot more serious. >> well, yeah, i like to keep it light on the bench, sometimes guys get so -- the energy and tension is high. that when you're on the bench, you keep it a little lighter. that's where i try and come in. >> reporter: number 88 with that big smile to go with his break-out performance, hoping to give everyone something to smile about tonight. carol maloney, news4

$25,000. carol. that's the fine handed down by the nba following washington's game to win over atlanta. he celebrated by kicking the game ball into the stands. at the end of february, fellow wizards forward morris was levied a fine for this toss during a game against the utah jazz. right there. morris also seemed to be a target of referees in game two against atlanta. he got four quick fouls and saw his minutes limited because of it. the two teams had 55 fouls between them on wednesday night. this has been a physical series and sounds like it's going to stay that way. >> not worry about the calls going your way or not your way. it's not -- nothing's calculated on their part. >> playoff basketball, it's tough aggression, attacking to the rim. they have good people who attack the rim, they get to the free-throw line, tha

they do. for us, we have to play a little bit sounder defense. keep our hands out of the cookie jar. >> the wizards were back at practice this morning after taking thursday off. they took a 2-0 series lead with their win on wednesday night. they'll take the court by 5:30 on saturday, the first game in atlanta in the series. during the regular season, the wizards were much better at home than on the road. they'll like to buck that trend in their first playoff test this season away from home. trea turner is back, after missing ten games with a right hamstring strain. the 23-year-old will not start tonight, but is available to pinch hit or pinch run. last year, turner was the return-up for the national league rookie of the year. so far this year, he's only appeared in five games. nats are in the big apple taking on the mets. tanner row ark is on the mound. i see that it's ladies night on the desk. thank you f

the party. s, it is. it's your lucky night. [ laughter ] >> we'll see you again for news4 at 11:00. >> "nightly news" is next. have a good one.
