young and i could walk home really late and not be scared. now as an adult, i wouldn't. >> you wouldn't go home late at night by yourself? >> not now. it's not smart. >> reporter: nicole says she'll be more attentive. >> it keeps my awareness up. because sometimes we're a little careless with the doors. but you feel like, why should i have to be a prisoner in emy ow home? >> reporter: the robbers may have got two laptops and more. they're still sorting through the stuff at the house. and the two suspects are still at large. doreen, back to you. a neighborhood commissioner claims he did nothing wrong, yet officers on patrol handcuffed him and pushed him to the ground over the weekend in southeast, d.c. some of it caught on video as you see here. but police say that's not the whole story. meagan fitzgerald has both sides, plus reaction from some

terror incidents? results pretty much split down the middle. 53% say yes. also tonight the white house is playing down trump's tweets about the london attack and trying to keep the focus on his domestic agenda. but the russian investigation remains in the spotlight with fired fbi director james comey getting set to testify from the senate. edward? >> reporter: the white house is trying to change the story line on this one. aggressively actually. that's the reason, or one of the reasons they announced a major overhaul to the u.s. air traffic controller system. the president saying some of the ground radar we use dates back to the '60s. the president also saying there will be more announcements related to infrastructure as the week goes on. >> reporter: president trump in the east room of the white house boasting about revamping

system. >> when we adopt these changes, americans can look forward to cheaper, faster, and safer travel. >> reporter: and the president unveiled a plan to spin off the air traffic controller system into a private non-profit. his white house is answering questions about more controversial tweets by the president, on issues from the london terror attack, to his own travel ban challenge, considered by the supreme court. the president on twitter contradicted his own administration which has steered clear of the travel ban. >> i don't think the president cares what you call it, whether you call it a ban, a restriction. he cares that we call it national security and that we take steps to protect the people of this country. >> reporter: the white house also revealing the president will not prevent former fbi director james comey from testifying about the russia investigation later this week. >> to facilitate a swift examination of the facts sought by the senate intelligence committee, president trump will not assert executive privilege regarding james comey's scheduled testimony. comey

there. after an opening statement from the prosecution that described cosby giving andrea constand drugs that could make her paralyzed so he could make advances without being rejected. the defense countered, calling it consensual. and focused on inconsistent statements to investigators. another victim testified sometimes in graphic detail cosby forcing her to take drugs and drink wine and then forcing himself on her. a strikingly similar narrative to one constand has described in pre-trial deposition. cosby stared straight ahead, never making eye contact during her time on the stand. an explosive start to the high profile trial expected to continue for three to four weeks. >> reporter: now the defense has wrapped up his across examination of that witness, really questioning what they say are

pre-trial depositions and her statements on the stand here today. and also again questioning her credibility in this case. as for cosby, we won't see him take the witness stand. he and his defense team said long before this trial started he would not testify. that's the very latest here in norristown, pennsylvania. jim, back to you. >> jay, thank you. jury selection begins tomorrow in the sex abuse trial of a former montgomery county elementary school teacher. john vig no was a third grade teacher in silver spring. he's accused of inappropriately outhicng five female students over several years. he taught at cleverly from 2000 to 2016 and coached junior varsity baseball at paint branch high school in burtonsville. the u.s. supreme court will decide if police need to have a search warrant to track your movement using data from your cell phone. the case involves an appeal from

program is preventable, but that likesly means more delays and closures. metro's gm has had to sell safetrack to high profile figures. d.c.'s mayor wondered about it all. >> reporter: do you think safetrack is working? >> i don't think we don't know enough about it. >> reporter: shouldn't we know more by now? >> yes, i think we should, the metrics should be easy to understand and digest for decision-make decision-makers. >> reporter: but metro says there's fewer delays and disruptions. today as ride ors on the orange and silver line deal with more safetrack related delays, there's still questions that remain. >> you never know. i walked down here and i'm like, is it going it be ten minutes or two minutes? there's no real consistency still. >> reporter: at the ballston station, adam tuss, news4. an affordable housing project more than a decade in the making is a

crisis no parent wants to face. his daughter's english teacher was charged with assault after the teen and classmates accused the teacher of inappropriately touching them. >> she had the least of the problems with the guy. her friends got it worse. >> reporter: the educator lost his job and his teaching license. but other parents and neighbors might never know it. partly because the school district tdidn't publicly announce the teacher's fate. >> their image, to keep it out of the news. >> reporter: but also parents don't get to know why teachers' licenses are revoked or canceled, even when it's for sexual misconduct. all they can find is a list of names. >> this is an issue that concerns me as a lawmaker and a parent. >> reporter: mark keemz said the state department is not giving parents enough information. >> what are the reasons? what are the specifics? sometimes you might guess based on rumors but it would be nice

to have the fact. >> reporter: citing our investigation, he's asked the state to consider expanding what it tells the public, the reason the license is revoked, like other states do. doing so would make a teacher easier to background for any parent or future employers. the i-team found maryland offered even less information per for years, there was no public listing of teachers who had licenses revoked, no way to track what happened to a suspected bad apple. >> the reality is that we want more information to be out there, we know that our parents, that our community leaders, that our folks in local government who are doing hiring, we want to make it easier for them to be able to make well informed decisions. >> reporter: council member craig rice made a formal request to change policy and within days, it hn

president trump is under fire again for a twitter storm linking his revised travel ban and the terror attack in london. on saturday night, the president's first response to the attack referred directly to his revised travel ban, which is currently headed for the supreme court. subsequent tweets blamed political correctness for what the president called a watered down version of the ban. and after critics pointed out that his own administration had admonished reporters for calling it a travel ban, he wrote that people, lawyers and courts can call it what they want, but he's calling it what we need and what it is, a travel ban. nbc news chief white house correspondent hallie jackson joins us now. hallie, some of the legal experts think the president is sabotaging his own case with these tweets. >> reporter: that's it, doreen. a question tonight whether the president's words could end up coming back to haunt him in the long run as the supreme court takes a look at the travan

constitutional. let's break it down. why does it matter what the president called it, whether it's a travel ban or executive order. here's why. other judges in lower courts have used the president's words as reasoning to block that ban and so there is an expectation that tweets like this one, tweets like the ones he had today could in fact end up in some of those arguments. and it's not just outside legal experts too. one of the president's biggest supporters, a well known conservative lawyer, george conway, husband of kellyanne conway, was out today saying essentially that tweets on legal matters could hurt the president's argument down the road. the white house seemingly unconcerned about this, they said today, deputy press secretary sarah huckabee in the west wing said, doesn't matter what we call it, it's semantics. the president wants national security and that's the bottom line. >> so much drama with this president and his tweeting. mr. trump also tweeted

directly at the mayor of london. and that's caused a lot of controversy. what's the white house said today about that? >> second time in 24 hours, that you saw the president go after mayor sadiq khan for this phrase that he used, no reason to be alarmed. the mayor talking about the increased police presence on the streets of london. the president taking it to mean something else essentially. so the white house was pressed on this today, because this created british backlash, the idea that the president would so soon after a terrorist attack, go after the mayor of the city. the president said he was not looking to pick a fight with the mayor, but saying there was reason to be alarmed because terror attacks are happening all over the world. you'll see coming up in "nightly news," but we have the mayor of london who responded to this, saying he's not going to be thrown or focused on this ill-informed tweet from the
