>> i'm jim hanley. we have team coverage for you this evening from charlottesville to hear at home where at the white house a rally is planned. in court this morning, a judge charged james field, the man accused of driving into that crowd, with second degree murder, malicious wounding and hit-and-run. a judge denied his bail and appointed a private attorney. fields will make another court appearance in charlottesville later this month. news 4 megan fitzgerald was right in the middle of that chaotic scene outside court today. megan. >> people who live here say that these white supremacist and other hate groups are trying to destroy the image of charlottesville. they say this is a close knit community. that's evident by this growing memorial that's out here. here for that 32-year-old woman who was hit and killed after that car drove through the street here. you can see the flowers continue to grow along with the candles and notes that are out

two of her friends were hit by that same driver. she said, her friends could be alongside heather heyer right down here, she said they were lucky. we want to warn you the images you're about to see are very hard to watch. tensions are still running high in the usually quiet town of charlottesville. >> nazis go home! nazis go home. >> reporter: once again white supremacist and counter protesters clashed this times moments after judge ruled that 20-year-old would remain in jail without bond after police say he drove the car that killed 32-year-old heather heyer and injuring several others. >> they were both hit by the car. >> two of the people injured are ro bet fetter's friends. >> lisa did tell me that she was the one that bounced off the windshield. >> for her own

decided to only lose her first name. her friend came down to charlottesville to speak out against racism and to stand with the residents in town. on saturday afternoon -- >> around 1 or 2:00, that was right around the time i didn't hear any more texts from lisa. i was checking in on her. >> she was on fourth street and investigators fields plowed through the crowd. >> it's horrifying to watch now. she broke her hand and her wrist, she said her right leg was broken. >> lisa and so many others are lucky to be alive. but this community is still angry that this incident happened in the first place. >> it's traumatized the town. >> the people that came here for this rally, almost none of them, and probably none of them live here. they're from out of town. people here are resentful that they've chosen our city to use as their platform. >> many of the white supremacist and knee owe nazi groups say they'll be back because they feel as though their right to protest was

if and when they do, residents in town say they'll be ready. >> we're fighters, every single one of us here are fighters, i know people who said if they come back, i'm coming back and i'm going to be one more person and i'm going to be fighting. >> reporter: and you can see emotions are still very raw out here, people getting very emotional at this memorial, hugging strangers and consoling one another and saying prayers for 32-year-old heather heyer who died out here, along with the other people that are injured. they tell me they're praying for peace, as well. as for robin fetter's friend we're told they're out of the icu and they are going through several surgeries. we're told they'll have a long recovery, they are expected to be okay. back to you. >> long road for that community there, thanks so much, megan. tonight google says it has cancelled the registration for a white supremacist web site after

the woman that died in this weekend's violence. heather died when that car plowed into the ral di of demonstrators -- and about fairness and quality and justice for everyone. two state troopers also died on saturday when their helicopter crashed in the wooded area just outside charlottesville. troopers h.j. had been part of the large scale operation to monitor the rallies. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, on my sides. >> president trump on saturday referring to the violence that unfolded in charlottesville, those comments, especially "on many sides" led to the criticism by leaders on both sides for his failure to fully denounce the white naal

survey seem to agree with that sentiment. but today the president came out and struck a slightly different tone, actually calling out those individual groups by name. >> racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the kkk, knee owe nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. >> before the president spoke today, one of the ceos from his advisory council resigned because of his earlier response. nbc's senior political editor mark murray has a closer look at the political fall out. >> reporter: wendy, we ended up seeing president trump that almost essentially have a do over from his remarks on saturday. many people feel like he did not rise to to case on saturday, not

neonaziss, kkk and denouncing that type of racism in his remarks on saturday. he ended up doing that on monday, 48 hours later. but there are still some people who believe that was a little bit too late. there are some republicans who, however, breathing a sigh of relief that they believe that he's now addressed it and it's time to move on to other issues, but one fundamental thing that a president does is unite americans during tough times or shocking times. we saw that with bill clinton after the oklahoma city bombing. barack obama after the charleston shootings. but president trump being unable to rise to that similar occasion, at least, originally on saturday, seems to be a big missed opportunity for him being able to be a president for all americans we often see talk to his own supporters, have rallies with people who voted for him, to be able to reach out to all americans during such a tim o

violent images in tragedy, really was a missed opportunity for him. back to you. >> nbc mark murray, right now people are gathering for a rally here at the white house this evening. news 4 shomari stone is there. what's going on where you are now. >> reporter: people out side the white house are saddened. some outraged over the violence that occurred in charlottesville this weekend. you come right out here, you can see as i make my way through this crowd, there are signs that read such as, reject white supremacy, house divided against itself cannot stand. you move around, you can see all of these people here beginning to gather as people beginning to come here from the metro. they're protesting what they say is the trump administration refusing to condemn the white supremacy. they say the president and some members of his administration have been bold white supremacist, you'll now hear from one of the

administration has not done enough to denounce white supremacy. a lot of white supremacists have supported trump. and as the president, it's his job to stop hate in the america and do more, to speak up against hate crimes that are occurring against americans including in charlottesville. >> we're now outside the white house. you can look at this sign right here. this is where a lot of protesters are upset about use the word "many sides" when it came to what happened in charlottesville. the stronger language today was bowing, caving in to political pressure. again, the president did say that the kkk, neonazsis and white supremacists will be prosecutored. shomari stone, news 4. >> thank you. the controversy on con federal statutes extend. they also line the halls of the u.s. capitols. and thousands of tourists walk by them every day. the

brown water coming out of your faucets is just unsettling. discolored water and dirty residue left behind. some wscc customers in montgomery and prince georges county have brown water coming out of their faucets. the wssc says the water is safe. we went out to the water treatment plant to find out what's happening. the utility says recent severe weather put more organic material from things like dead leaves, debris and vegetation into the patomic. that material, we're told, reacts with the chlorine used to disinfect increasing the amount of a mineral. it creates that brown color. wssc today admitted that the discoloration should be unacceptable people. they say there's no health risks. >> this is an anesthetic issue. this is not a public health issue. in other words, wssc

safe. >> reporter: so wssc says the water is safe for consumption and safe for bathing, but that it could stain your clothes in the washing machine, so they are offering some sort of free rust remover. so, jim, the thing is, though, wssc says this could go on for the next few weeks. back to you. >> all right. thanks for that warning. thanks so much. now to our forecast, not sure a typical august day, bit cloudy out there. a little bit cooler, wouldn't you say. doug, you use that because it's such illogical term, right. >> meterology 101, it's page 77 of the book. that's exactly right, arch high temperature is still in the upper 80s. right now most areas are in the mid-70s. we've seen a lot of cloud cover and shower ak tefty, too. most of us have not seen much in the way of rain fall. you can see not a whole lot of rain, we have some areas along

complicated. they're currently now eight statutes in the sang ware hall collection, depicting confederate leaders or those who fought in the civil war. that's means robert e lee and west virginia submission of john ken na who served as a confederate soldier. now all of these statutes come from the direction of the state. each state gets to select and donate two sculptures and they have complete control over them. the federal government and capitol officials have zero say over where the statutes stay or go. only half of those have updated the contribution, by the way. last year florida removed the statute of the confederate general. in 2009 alabama replaced a confederate soldier with the statute of helen keller. there were a number of other portraits busts and images around the capitol complex. the architect say it does not have a comprehensive list, lady, jim. >> a group that wants to keep the confederate mont

now for unknown reasons at this time, the man took off. it's not clear if someone came along, he heard something. but fairfax county police responded and are here conducting an investigation. now, there is not a very good description of the suspect at this point. i believe fairfax county police are working to get us a bit more of a descriptive or a bit more filled out description of him, but, obviously, cause for concern in this very residential, very quiet neighborhood. live, jackie benson, news 4. they've become a bigger part of her commute. could toll lanes be expanding the local leader who proposing be around the entire beltway. >> getting the most bang for your buck when you buy a used

days to several weeks. it's not just inmates impacted by this backlog. currently six patients who have been committed are still waiting for an open bed. on friday, judge lynn blasted the agency for not solving this backlog problem, saying it's in the interest of human beings who are in jail unlawfully. tonya is in charge of elizabeth. she says the cause of the problem goes just beyond her agency. >> we're all equal partners. we all have a part to play. >> they say the saint elizabeth's facility was just open about ten years ago is at capacity, which can't be increased. >> no, you can't just add beds to a hospital, right. you have to be licensed. >> they say the backlogs urnlly only occur during the summer months they're developing a plan to avoid this problem next year. >> how do we prevent or die vert people from getting arrested in the first place. so we're working very closely with mpd and our deputy

our state's attorneys to look at alternatives to arresting people so that we can slow down the pipeline of people that need our service. >> and they hope to have the current backlog of seven inmates as well as the six commitment patients. one idea that the judge quoted was having the dc government pay a private mental facility to help the backlog. the doctor said the dc government is not considering that option. we have a list of mental health resources on the nbc washington app. you can search changing minds. mark, thank you. it's a story that is sparking a lot of controver conversation o social media. should express lanes be added all the way around our capitol beltway. it got everybody talking today, he said it's time to take that idea that started in virginia and add express lanes on all 64 miles of the
