drant lincoln memorial reflecting pool today. although the pool won't look pretty for about a week, the sprosz meant to destroy a parasite that has killed dozens of ducks. the park service says 80 ducks have died. the parasite is found in snails which live in the reflecting pool and people who come in contact could get what's calling a swimmer's itch rash. doctors say it is uncomfortable, but usually clears up on it's own. big change coming along the national mall and you may notice it today, parking meters now starting tomorrow, the national park service will activate meters in several popular areas. you can see those areas on this map right here. the only free parking around the mall is going to be on ohio drive in east potomac park. they're supposed to help prevent drivers from hogging free parking spaces for hours on end. we caught up with a few tourists to get their take on the meet percent. >> it's hard to get around d.c. it's hard to find pain

we've bled to death in money already in parking fees. at a half dozen different monumen monuments. >> i want to encourage people to come here, but i've got to pay for maintenance somehow. >> the meters will cost two bucks per hour and will only accept plastic. so beware of that. the only free day of the year will be christmas day. we're learning details about terrible crash that happened in adams morgan thursday. one of the two bike patrol officers hit by a truck is waking up at home. he was released from the hospital friday night at last check, the other officer was in critical, but stable condition. d.c. department of transportation traffic aid also hit in this crash. and is expected -- all of them expected to recover. now the pickup truck driver who police say hit them, brandon figures mormon is charged with assault with intent to kill. 6:06, only on news 4, this is a story that's going to strike accord with any parent

bond with our children, of course, and the undeniable fear of something terrible ever happening to them, that's their as well, but this morning, that feeling is all too real for the father. the 18-year-old's funeral was yesterday. this is video. he was an eagle scout and fellow boy scout carried his coffin, his father sat down with our amy cho to share memories about his son who was killed this past week. >> he was a beloved son, before i knew how beloved he was to the rest of the community, he was a very loved son at home. because of all the busyness that happens throughout the day, the grief is there, but, you have to, you know, you have to focus on the things that need to get done, but now, i'm kind of, kind of scared of what the next couple days will happen because the pace will settle down a little bit and i think we'll probably feel it more, but w

learning to cope. >> yeah, williams says he only had good memories, no regrets of his last moments with his son. he and his friend were found murdered inside a car on monday. he were both set to graduate from northwest high school the very next day. sad story there. all right. switching gears a little bit. looking outside right now as the sun comes up over the nation's capital, and yeah, you're going to sweat today. 90s before you know it. lauren's tracking a major heat wave and how you can plan for the week ahead. it is a good day to hit the beach or the pool, make sure off swim suit, the new rules in ocean city that are now i

it's custom made so you know it's good quality. i'm just speechless because it's perfect. the insurance companies and the credit card companies . and the wall street banks - that's what tom perriello is about. i was proud to stand with president obama because progressive causes have been my life's work.

to reduce economic inequality, raise wages, eliminate the burden of student debt and protect our climate. together we really can build a virginia that works for everyone. lucky for me, there's some great golf here in the carolinas. whether you golf or not, geico could help score you some great savings on car insurance. maybe even hundreds of dollars. whoa! (chuckles) hole in one! and that's a par five, mind you. see how much you could save on car insurance. go to geico.com today.

no nudity. that is the message to beach goers from ocean city. the city council there approved an emergency

caught nude on the family-friendly beach. the council says people do not have a constitutional right to be nude in public. the controversy started after a woman challenged the legality of ocean city's requirement that women wear tops, but not men. >> know nor limits. you should know whether to be naked or not. >> i agree. and go to places that, you know, welcome the nudity. it's a family-friendly beach. >> there's a place for everything, how about that. a lot of people will want to hit the beach or the pool. it's going to be hot, 9:quickly, right? >> adam you and were out yesterday, and it was only the upper 80s yesterday. >> it was hot. >> it was so hot, we were drenched and we didn't have that humidity. we're knoll not going to have that humidity today. temperatures already around 90 at no

show you what's going on. beautiful sunrise. the sun came up about 20 minutes until 6:00 a.m., and it's a great morning, temperatures out there are a little comfortable. 60s and 70s. now we've got muggy conditions headed our way. monday and tuesday. that's why it's weather alert day. we are going to have the heat index around 100 degrees. rain on wednesday. that'll be the next chance for rain. temperatures throughout right now, 71 here in d.c., 62 in lauren, you step outside the beltway, temperatures in the low 60s, honestly, it's not too bad outside the d.c. area. look that the, there's temperatures right around 90 at noon today. nothing going on on the radar right now. we stay dry. i mean, all up and down the east coast. outside outlook, yard work, it's just going to be a little too warm. if you want to wash the car, we're dry until wednesday, showers on tuesday, but highly isolated. church services looking good for that. again, we are going to be a bit humid tomorrow, the humidity really increases monday and es

impressive with the heat indexes around 100 degrees. reporter's notebook coming up. we'll be back with more of the top stories. good morning, i'm pat lawson news. heading into the home stretch before the primary on tuesday, fundraising filings give lieutenant governor ralph with an edge, it's a neck and neck race for the democratic nomination for governor. on the republican side, ed gillaspie still leads his primary rivals. scott and tom with are with us this morning. this should be the political show of the country, it's been a political show dominating the country in the last few weeks. this democratic primary in particular, it seems to be a national statement of where the democratic party is.

this should be getting more attention than it is outside the common wealth as it's odd-numbered states like virginia and new jersey should. but this is other news blocking this. >> true. run a very strong campaign at the lieutenant governor. he has all the endorsements from the current governor to mark warner, tim cain, attorney general what decided not to run for governor because the ralph laws. and he has all the establishment party around him. the big question here is who's going to vote? primaries don't always turn out a lot of people in virginia, don't always have primaries. is it going to be 250, 300,000 people or because republicans and democrats are running. is there enough anti. trump anger.

bernie sanders endorsed him, elizabeth warren endorsed him, hillary clinton won virginia in the campaign. it is the establishment democrats with a very progressive lieutenant governor going to win or the upstart in the race late in january? also the washington post endorsed ralph north m. because like to ens dors them. this could be important where the post recent pole shows that 30% -- >> how much impact will money have? >> there's enough money. ultimately the ads on tv, they're spending the money, there's a concentration of donors. smaller concentration, some of them national in scope. the base is donors is label the broader -- >> a lot broader. >> fair. a lot broader. nevertheless, they're both well-armed with money. >> and had one of the best political ads this year, he's

what do you call it? crusher. there's an ambulance behind him and the crusher is coming down. we're a odd-numbers year. all of the talent has descended upon virginia. >> he did do that ad in one take. only the one ambulance. they couldn't have done it. >> tost a bold, he called him a narcissistic maniac, does that cross the line? >> no. >> is that where you are? >> you've got national talent on both sides and the national talent knows you have to resinate. you have to be heard across the noise and there's a lot of noise lately. that's what you've got to do. almost a silver bullet to be heard. >> he was running a classic campaign in virginia, and he believes the classic campaignn

>> he went right after donald trump. north m had to step up his criticism of trump. i think it's clear that in the virginia democratic party, they're not happy with trump. how much that plays crossover voting, we won't know until tuesday night. >> justin fairfax, if he wins the nomination and wins this fall would become just the second african american man elected statewide to office in virginia and the first is doug wilder. >> these democratic primaries, throughout the common wealth, be it for lieutenant governor, governor, or all of his state senate seats, there are so many candidates. they have had such little trouble recruiting candidates to run a democratic primaries, that's a trump effect, but a big storyline, nationwide in 2018. when t

up. one-third of the u.s. senate seats are up, democratic recruitment has never gone so vibrantly so early in the cycle. and virginia is an indication to how this could play out nationally. >> repeating what their tea party did and where the republicans focus on state houses and local races. we ought to mention, the lobbyists and operative says the woman should be on the ticket is one of the lieutenant governor. and gene rossi, formal federal prosecutor. but it is a question whether justin fairfax who is from fairfax with a great campaign sloeg enand susan platte who wins there. >> democrats sense a moment in the election. they sense the opportunity to make inroads in the legislatures, and that's going to be a national trend moving into 2018, it's something the party really struggled with in 2014 and 2010. >> talk about the republicans for a moment. >> sure. >> well, you know ed gillaspie is a national political operative for the republican

party. he's lobbyist here in washington. well-known, he nearly defeated mark warner a few years ago and came to the whisker of defeating mark warner. cory stewart is running for governor. i was trump before trump. he's aggressive, he's been taking up the mantle of protecting federal memorials around the state. >> not raised a lot of money. >> to run a campaign, but not nearly what ed gillaspie has done. traditional campaign, like north m on the other side. and then there's a virginia state frank wagner who the washington post said would be the best person to be the governor. he's from the virginia beach area because he's a level-headed moderate conservative republican, but he has had virtually not known in this region. and has no noun get to him. >> all right. >> everybody should vote. if you're in virginia registered to vote. there wao

only plastic absentee balloting, but people should vote. >> it's all about turnout and 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. creating jobs foreaner, reliour veterans...ity. helping those in need save money on their energy bills. it takes 16,000 dominion energy employees doing the job. and now, dominion energy is investing $15 billion to build

creating jobs now and for the future. across virginia, we're building an economy that works for everyone and dominion energy is helping power the companies that power our economy. on capitol hill, virginia senator mark warner has emerged as a prominent player in the russia investigation and the comey hearing as vice chair of the senate intelligence committee. scott talk about the role he's playing in the national trauma, how important it is. >> the most prominent role in the u.s. senate right now for democrats belongs to mark warner. top democrat on the senate intelligence committee now owns the james comey investigation for the u.s. senate. so at the top democrat, he gets to lead the questioning, gets to set the tone for democrats on that panel and politically, interesting space for mark

earlier, he won his election in 2014, barely, won as a purple state. there's some sense that he cut the more bipartisan path in the u.s. senate. it's an interesting spot, but no doubt, puts him in a high profile spot. >> he was a popular governor, and then he won the senate race, but then everyone was shocked when he nearly lost ed gillaspie. but he's been paying attention to a lot of issues besides these trump issues. high-tech issues, jobs, lots of things. some think he would like to run for president some time, whether he does or not, the fact is he is coming into his own in the senate. van holland, the senator from maryland is leading the senate campaign for next year to take the senate back from the republicans. we have a lot of prominent politicians in our washington region who where are playing lots of national roles. >> staying on capitol hill for a moment, members of congress are pushing for a new normal proposal to rebuild a pentagon's fire station, it was destroyed in the september 11th terror atta b

the importance of the station as well as the controversy and the delay over building it. >> sure, the pentagon fire station is actually there to protect the pentagon held lo pad which marine one uses, military vips use, to have a fire station in case of an emergency. it was destroyed on 9/11. those firefighters responded to the tragedy on 9/11. but, in true federal government form, it's been 15 years and there's been no movement towards getting that thing rebuilt. the firefighters are working out of temporary, subpar trailers. there was a move in 2012, there was an appropriation made by the house for $6 million to get it built and the pentagon discovered discovered it would cost 30 million. the bureaucracy have set in. >> is this the defense department dod, it's not the general service. >> it was a defense department project, it needs a military construction appropriations, getting them rig

nose and the public doesn't recognize the impact that the stalled federal spending plans have on brick and mortar things you need in your community. >> we have a wonderful memorial there to the people who were killed and injured and the people who -- that pentagon and 9/11, the failure to deal with the first responders to that incident by having them a decent place to work is another memorial of bureaucracy. >> and it's tough to believe there's such a fight over this 15 years after a 9/11 when the pentagon is such a magnet for a threat. >> shows you this bureaucrats are able to stop anything at any time. the president may have decided to pull the u.s. out of the paris climate agreement, but the district is sticking with it. the mayor has signed an executive order supporting the deal and says the city will continue promoting policies that support the thing. what does that mean to the citizens, residents of the district of columbia? >> the only little

the city is that under vince grey before her and nowboyar, the city made an aggressive push to have solar panels to provide electricity on government-owned buildings, i think like 35 government build wrgs it's going to be solar panels. she says there's some organization of like 40 different states or cities, that are saying we're going to stick with the paris accord which is to reduce the carbon footprint regardless of what the federal government does. terry mckau live, he said the same thing over in maryland, larry hogan the governor there has not yet made any declaration. he'll do more with the paris accord being gone. >> there are actually 200 other mayors around the country who decided, hey, we're going to go our own way. >> and the state of california being the most important. >> and the mayor of pittsburgh who said we to want state in the paris agreement as well. pittsburgh was shouted out by president trump when he was explaining why he was pulling

>> and also we should point out, you don't say hey, we're getting out of the paris accord. it may take up to 2020 before the country will be out of that accord, and who knows what will happen after the primary, after the elections next year. >> even georgetown university has defied that. that move. another noose turned up last week at a home under construction in southeast washington. it was the third noose found in the district since the incidents at american university and the university of maryland. there've also been nooses found inside the museum of african american history and culture. washington post columnist courtland malloy wrote an interesting article about this this past week about d.c.'s response. the mayor saying we're going to respond by using the city's hate crime protocol. interesting point, the fact that while the nooses are news, they are not new, and they won't go away with new h

protocol. >> well, i think the mayor was saying that she wants to be aggressive and we use hate crime legislation against whatever violations of vandalism, whatever laws there are, you use the whole thing of laws against people like this. some people do these things, they think it's a joke. some people do it for malicious intent. racial hatred, whatever the reason is, it's unacceptable. and it's just kind of a coarseness in our political dialogue across the country anyway, and these kinds of things keep bubbling up. social media, some people see it here, they'll do it there. it's kind of a myth. i think the mayor took a strong stance, the police chief said to the extent, we could look at video, to the extent we could do anything. find out who these people are and bring them to justice. >> this is an issue that the suburban schools in maryland dealt with in the spring semester, the rash of swastikas, and

school walls. they had a whole series of those incidents late in the winter and early in the spring. so sadly it's not limited to the district, and this is something all community leaders and all police will have to deal with. >> the awful word spray painted on -- that's the downside of social media now and that everybody with the lunatic idea or racist idea has a way of being excessive with it. it can be exploited all over the world, in some ways, you can't not report these things because they're horrible, but on the other hand, you spread them by talking about them, it's horrible. >> tom sherwood, scott mcfarland, thank you, gentlemen. thank you. that's reporter's notebook. news 4 today continues. e. time right now, 6:29 on this sunday morning, here's what's going on, a suspected drunk driver is in custody after maryland state police say he hit a trooper with his

morning. this all happened on pennsylvania avenue and upper marlboro, not far from the beltway, the trooper is being treated far public concussion, but is conscious. >> thousands of people are expected to fill the streets again, starting at 10:00 this morning for the equality march for unity and pride. this is one of dozens of marches and rallies happening across the country and around the globe. the goal is to raise awareness about lgbtq rights and safety. >> and after the march all day long, the capital pride festival and concert will kick off. there are multiple music and dance stages along pennsylvania avenue. hey molly, sirens is going to -- miley cyrus is going to headline the concert. that'll be later on tonight. news 4 today starts now. welcome in on this sunday morning, hope you're having a good one so far and thanks so much for joining us, i'm adam tuss. >> and i'm in for angie goff this morning. we talked about all the outdoor things going on today. it's going to be a

an afghan soldier. officials tell nbc news that the insider attack happened in the district yesterday during a joint u.s./afghan military operation. the shooter was killed by other soldiers. officials have not released any names or the condition of the injured soldier. this attack follows a similar one in march. meanwhile u.s. attorney jeff sessions -- well attorney general jeff sessions will testify before the senate intelligence committee on tuesday. in the letter released this weekend, sessions says he would appear before the committee in light of last week's testimony by james comey. during his testimony, comey said he couldn't explain why sessions played a role in the president's decision to fire him, despite his resize sal. and this morning, the white house is trying to regroup after testimony from james comey. the former fbi head accused the president of pressuring him to drop former national security adviserer michael flynn froth

loyalty in the context of asking know stay. >> i hardly know the man, i'm not going to say i want you to pledge allegiance, who would do that? >> reporter: white house aids says the president kept promises to nominate him. big issues like tax reform, foreign travel ban, and the repeal and replacement of obamacare don't appear to be going anywhere soon. >> it's daunting on a lot of republicans unless things change, there's a possibility that he could go through the entire first year without accomplishments. >> reporter: with the russia investigation generating new headlines nearly every day, the trump team is trying hard to change the conversation. >> this week sprump expected to outline a new policy that could affect your future plans -- travel plans to cuba. sources say the president is expected to make the announcement friday in mi

for sunday at d.c. pride. >> well, this is a really big day here in the nation's capital. we hope everyone gets out of the house after hearing this and joins capital pride as one of the partner organizations really helping to bring the equality march for unity and pride here to d.c. and many other some dare marches across the country and woshld. so that kicks off this morning at 10:00 a.m. then we'll finish on the national mall. our pride festival and concerts will be ajay isn't a on pennsylvania avenue with about 250 organizations representing both local, regional, and national. and then also, some amazing entertainment on three of our stages. >> fantastic. and i know folks around here are very familiar with the festival and what a huge sort of celebration and party and opportunity that is for a lot of folks. you mention the march that's happening today, and i know it's not necessarily connected to d.c. pride, but it is happening todand

cities around the dharnt are having similar margins, there've been -- there's been a lot of talk about this coming. what can you tell us about the march that's happening today and how this all came together. >> definitely, i think, you know, through the whole election cycle and since the election, i think our community has definitely felt a sense of urgency. >> uh-huh. >> and fear around some of the progress that we have made, threats to that progress being turned back, and that's why we were excited to bringman day on board, she was one of our grand marshals yesterday for our pride parade because of her work dealing with many of the issues at this equality march is trying to address. such as intersectionalty amongst our communities. as well as centering those marginalized voices in our community. and really providing a spotlight to the issues that we still have yet to achieve. and trying to bring us together to hopefully achieve them. >> is this s

shift in pride celebrations? i think there's some thinking that these pride marches and i'm sorry the pride parades and some of the festivals have been really designed to be sort of celebrations, but you you look at l.a. for example and they're calling their pride parade a resistance march now. have there been conversations about deliberately shifting from something that seem mrs. sell bra tire to something that seems more like an activist opportunity? >> definitely, that's been a huge conversation and debate in our community and communities across the country, but i think it's important to understand that, you know, protests can happen in many forms. so, you know, the pride parade here in d.c., every year, more and more organizations choose to show up and just by showing up and being vizable is a form for them to be, to protest, so celebrate, so that's why for us in d.c., it was very important to keep the pride parade. to allow our organizations to show up in the way they want to, but then to partner with the equality march for the

that you just mentioned. >> mandy, you've been involved with the social justice movement and efforts in the lgbt communities for decades now. as you've watched and lived through so much. what have you observed about how things have changed and how the movement has evolved? >> first of all, reading from my home state of north carolina. i think something that ryan just said i'm really struck by, this year is the 50th anniversary of that landmark versus the state of virginia racial marriage. could anyone -- i graduated in '66, that would have been a possibility, but the the other thing i'm struck by and honored and humbled to be one of the grand marshals. they kind of represent the public policy part if you think about the landmark decisions they've made. and not that they're not doing organizing as well, nicole and i and the grass roots kind of on the ground. i'm thinking about obama and his second inauguration. you remember he said from women to selma, people of color to stone wall. at

full equality and justice for all. if ever there was a moment to have the conversation and to be actively engaged, this is it. and what better time than the time you're in right now thinking about that, but i'm thinking, i'm a lesbian, i'm a woman, and i'm gay, and the other thing -- i live at those intersections, as a lot of douse, but the awareness and about how we can come together and have the conversation, but to be engaged civically, grassroots makes a difference. >> you use the word engaged. what do you think is the motivating thing for young people? we talk about millennials these days? and you see more and more of them becoming engaged and trying to be -- some deliberately trying to be act vitzs, and others sort of -- it feels natural to be involved. what do you think is motivating? >> it's see interesting because when you talk about millennials, i'm part of the baby boomers, there's 80 million -- 89 million millennials, and like if i don't go down and get registered to vote and

house in here, that has to happen. but i also think i'm amazed about the kind of like grass roots out there being actively engaged, hearts and wines public policy. how do we have common conversation to move it forward? and by the way not only in english giving the chipping demographic was people of color. aye done both. who cares about both? what? oh yeah, we just got our first black president in our lifetime. think about that. and you think about what else could be out there. and marriage equality, same sex marriage equality and let alone interracial marriage. >> i could talk to you two for hours. appreciate you coming in. thanks so much. have a great event with the festival and the march later on today. thanks a lot. >> happy pride. a lot going on around town this whole weekend. we were at parade yesterday, lauren had a bull horn and was firing up the crowd. >> but you don't need a bull horn. >> she did not. >> why give it to her? >> and they could still hear. >> you're a living, walking,
