6:13 am
we're all dry on storm team 4 radar. and as we go forward into the afternoon hours, we'll stay dry here in morning. just clouds around. later this morning, the sunshine breaks out. then as we go to the afternoon hours, 2:00 p.m., showers and thundershowers may be popping up in the panhandle of west virginia. those passing north and west of the region during the afternoon hours by 5:00 p.m., maybe the nearest thunderstorm may be around frederick in frederick county, maryland. then it races off and we'll have a partly cloudy evening coming up. there is your planner for today, temperatures will be cooler. will be in the low 70s by 10:00 a.m., but that sunshine breaking out. mid-70s by around 3:00 in the afternoon or so. but up near 80 degrees by late afternoon. and those storms passing north and west. mild and comfy evening coming up. 10:00 p.m. near 70 for the morning commute, sun glare tomorrow morning. partly sunny, dry roads, noontime, upper 70s. low 80s heading back home. still dry road. after that that we'll
6:14 am
thundershowers and thunderstorms moving in. that's going to be latd on monday. maybe into monday evening. before then, breezy and warm, but then cooler weather moves in, tuesday, wednesday, looking delightful with high upper 70s tuesday near 70 on wednesday. then some showers are looking likely on thursday. late afternoon into the evening hours, and a wet friday now is looking likely with some showers coming through ending by friday night. then dry next weekend and highs near 70. that's the way it looks. >> thank you, tom. reporter's notebook up next. >> we're back in 15 minutes with more of the mornings top stories. good morning, i'm pat lawson holmes. this question is being hotly debated. kenyan mcduffy is contemplating reducing the district's supply of a affordable housing. tom sherwood and tracy wilkins are here with us this
6:15 am
welcome both of you, and tom, this was your story, we'll start with you. a lot of people, thousands in fact do this to make extra cash by renting out the rooms or their homes, but this battle isn't about them, is it? it's about the folks doing this full-time. >> well, that is part of the battle. this is a big issue. airbnb is worldwide. this is an issue in big cities. who can just rent out their home? there are regulations, zoning rules, fire and safety rules. look, we've got too much unregulated business going on here. it's not homeowners making a few bucks overnight. it's commercial businesses renting out empty apartment buildings or taking them off the market that are under rent control and putting them up airbnb where they're making money and there's no regulation. huge crowd turned out. people are afraid they're going to lose their right to rent out their own home. mcduffy
6:16 am
to make sure we regulate the commercial operator of multiple units. and that's where he's headed and of course the room was filled with people. >> and in fact, the team went after a d.c. landlord department building. >> the attorney general of the city went after a company that has like four different buildings and they're advertising on airbnb to the short-term rentals. and it does take those apartments off -- we have a big housing crisis in the city. and this takes them off the market because if you can make a fortune renting them out a few months out of the year, why are you going to do that? >> tracy, we don't see it happening so much in counties like prince georges, do we? >> we're not hearing complaints from prince george's county. the way it operates, higher level in d.c. and premium because of the location and being an option to some of the hotels and part of the issue of
6:17 am
tourism is a huge industry in d.c., obviously. so those folks have reasons to be concerned about business and how it's impacting and the fact that they have to deal with regulations that airbnb owners don't have to. >> where do they stand? >> the hotel industry? >> yes. >> they want the toughest regulations on these organizations. they say the hotels say they're not going after the individual homeowner. and they say this is not backing their business that much yet. they're subject to tremendous regulation and if you're going to run in many hotels, you should be subject to the same regulation. >> all right. uneasy moments from local residents and workers in fact who saw police, s.w.a.t. teams in full tactical gear carrying out an emergency response. it was a coordinated rehearsal. a response to simulated attacks at six separate locations. tracy, you covered this forus. they took place in d.c., ma
6:18 am
caused concern where people who live there were notified. of course if you didn't get the message or didn't check your e-mail and didn't know that this was happening. or just weren't included in the net of people who were informed. it was interesting to walk down the street and see what was unfolding. it also included military personnel, ambulances, first responders. this was all put together. and the point of this operation was to make sure that all of the local jurisdictions are communicating the way they're supposed to communicate. if there is a terror attack or there is something that happens in the corner of the region. it's clear that they're all operating as one. now we saw during 9/11 that our area could be very separate when it comes to these things. no real communication system for police to communicate, but, part of what this is is to make sure that the communications are up and ru
6:19 am
that everybody can be on the same page because you often need additional resources from surrounding areas here. we have a lot of police agencies and they all have to understand how to respond. >> bad news is that, you know, 16 years after 9/11, we've been talking about a radio wave where people can be all on the same channel all at once at the same time, that is still not in place. so it's good. people see these things, they get scared. like anything, the police officers have to practice this type of work. and they have to worry about not only what happened in the past, but who knows what the terrorism attacks in the future will be. and so it's a very difficult thing for them, but being able to communicate is a number one issue. >> who has what resources and how those resources can help? it is fundamentally important and then to be there at that stadium just a block away from the navy yard where we did have a terror attack. we did have a lone gunman who had opened fire and killed people. it was a reminder -- >> yeah whereby it was a big issue. people think, you know, you were ju
6:20 am
event, but a terror attack can be one person creating havoc. >> and it doesn't have to be a terror attack. it can be a big fire like college park where we saw firefighters coming from all kinds of jurisdictions, all over the area to tack what will turned out to be a very difficult place. >> the executive director for the council of government said that, you know, the chief who helped to put that five alarm fire out in college park said that, you know, the training that they've been doing together and working as a region can practice and to do this kind of work helped them to respond to that fire and get all of the resources they needed. on the ground, we have d.c. fire, we had howard, montgomery county, helping prince george's county firefighters on the ground and then northern virginia firefighters who were filling in at some of the stations throughout the county because everybody was all hands on deck. especially from the departments in the northern part of the county. when you're on the scene and you see everyonein
6:21 am
you know these trainings are working. the one that we experienced earlier this week took two years to organize. so when you think about how much goes in to get everybody on the same page for a training. better it the be for a training than an actual event. >> new construction, it's that great. zoning codes and the fire retardant codes and all of that. you're surprised when something like that goes up in flames. >> this is something that firefighters have been arguing all across the country. what happened with that building in college park? it was at it's most vulnerable in terms of construction because also it has all of the safety regulations in place, the sprinklers and the rest because it was not occupied. those things were not in place yet. so -- were not operating. >> not operating. >> it also impacted fighting the fire. and firefighters said it, they describe this as fighting a wood pal surrounded by concrete. there weren't any things in place to help it them.
6:22 am
fires. it started as a two alarm. went to a five alarm. six hours to get it under control. and spent days after still putting water on hot spots there. so folks are already talking about coming up with legislation to see if they can stick something in an outlet from having our guys work so hard and when they work so hard to put the fires out when regulations can make a big difference. >> got to take a break. we'll be right back. stay with us. we're looking for something that's comfortable but yet durable, and that's going to last us a really long time. i don't want to buy new furniture every couple of years. it's custom made so you know it's good quality. i'm just speechless because it's perfect.
6:23 am
three million square fite of development will turn it into a park at walter reid. it'll honor the hospital's history and the unique green space it
6:24 am
come, there's going to be housing, retail, schools, park, what else? >> upper northwest washington or anywhere in the near suburbs of maryland, you've been waiting for this. walter reid was active from 1910 to 2011. and since 2011, it's been a city. so there's 130 acres there. the city gets about half of it's 66. which they're going to develop the other half over on 16th street, it's going to be embassy for the state department, but the city, the mayor announced, more than 2,000 houses, housing for seniors, more than a quarter of the houses not market rate, but affordable. and you store, this is it was going to go in. >> this is going to transform that community. >> georgia at seventh street to the east to 16th street on the we
6:25 am
even the mayor told me that look, we may have to bring a streetcar up seventh street to georgia avenue all the way to silver springs to help the people get into and out of that space. long time residents whose been living there, i talked to steven watley, he's been there 30 years. we need these resources. we live in a major city and we don't have the things that other people have that's just a few miles away. >> the mayor says it'll stop leakage. >> this is one of the big things the city had a problem with. people live in the city, but go to pentagon city to shop or silver springs or other areas. go out in other places. in the retail in the city, that number is dropping, more taxes for the city to do all the things it wants to do. one of the biggest cases in prince george's county involving formerle
6:26 am
exploit children too produce child porn. tracy, what happens to cases like that? will they be stalled? >> no, they're going to move forward. and we have the assistant who will come in and take care of this. assistant u.s. attorney whoa will continue no work because we have a number of huge cases going on right now. that is one. we also have the fbi probe into corruption that's happening as well. >> the board. >> exactly. all of this leaves -- well, you have somebody like rob rosenstein who is one of the longest serving u.s. attorneys in history to lead maryland after being there for three presidents since 2005, just like wow, that's a lot. i've been talking with staff and making the transitions. folks feel confident about moving forward with the cases. so yes, we still have to go through the trial of him who was charged with sexual assaulting a number of students.
6:27 am
prince george's county. we also have the again, liquor board, fbi corruption probe that has already seen a number of state delegates and businesses pulled into that investigation. they were expecting that there could be more arrests in indianapolis in connection to this as well. but he's not the only person who's handling all of this. we have all of the people in the fbi here doing the investigation. we have assistants in his office who know how to keep this thing moving teen move it forward. >> quickly, were people worried about washington being broken up by parties in the ship? he's the opposite. embraced by republicans, democrats, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and he's going to come in and he's going to help find attorney general jeff sessions 83 attorneys general around the country that have asked for resignations. people are putting a lot of weight on his shoulders. >> virginia's first lady considers a run for congress.
6:28 am
dorothy mccaulis would join a feet hoping to unseat republican representer next year. she says she's seriously considering it. what would be here advantages and her challenges? >> well a lot of people don't know much about her own personal history. yes, the wife of the governor, yes, she's been hillary clintons refriend and they had access to money, she has a low degree from georgetown. she went to the university. spent her time as the first lady of virginia working on nutrition issues and the food deserts in the state. she's been working with military families. all of these things play very well. push back to democrats this past season last year. close by to washington, you work saechb days a work trying to do all the things you have to do. i would be surprised if you decide to go through it. maybe the
6:29 am
leadership role. go for it. >> embattled. >> she won easily though shp be. >> she beat by six points. and that was the challenge. >> well now you have constituents who are saying, we need access. we need to be able to talk with you. we have complaints, concerns, and are finding it pretty difficult to get into the same room. some of that -- >> because she sets her own agenda. she does teleconferences and different things like that. this is a different that frank wolf represented who's a moderate republican for 20 something years or more, i can't remember the exact number. she stayed away from donald trump, she's trying to stay in the middle of the moderate republicans, and that's kind of what her district is. and let the democrats rally. >> beat donald trump in the district by about ten points. >> that's true. >> but she won her reelection by six. >> all right. thank you, tom, thank you, trey spip and thank you, that's reporters notebook. stay with us, news 4 today continues.
