may be trapped under the rubble. there has been confusion going on at the site as you mentioned touch-tone taupe of the broadcast. government officials say the bodies of 19 children and six adults have been recovered. and 11 children have been rescued. but based on motion sensor equipment, they believe there may be other people still alive. there had been reports from people on the scene of a child who had been texting with rescue teams and that as many as five children were trapped, but the government has not confirmed how many people may be alive or even their ages. crews have been bringing in equipment all day long to start the painstaking process of trying to remove the debris. now, the big issue here is they don't want anything to shift because it could cause a collapse there. but again, this is something that we will be keeping our eye on, these rescue efforts at this school and we're going to bring you any updates as soon as we see anything happening there from the scene in mexico city. wendy, jim? >> such a risky operation there. but there is hope

>> well, let's take a look at storm team 4 and hurricane maria. it is still lashing the caribbean. this time it's in the dominican republic. >> our chief meteorologist doug kammerer is in the storm center. it is expected to take a turn north any moment now? >> it is starting to do that now. it looks like from the last couple frames on our satellite you can tell where this is starting to go, making a little bit more of a turn. let's show you that satellite picture. making its way away from puerto rico. came into puerto rico on the southeast side, moved right across the island and now is looking like this. watch the last couple of frames here. more to the north. that is very good news. the reason that's good news, here's the turks and caicos. the islands that were hit extremely hard by irma just about two weeks ago, and it is still hitting the dominican republic. hurricane force winds right along the shore and very heavy rain, flash flooding a big problem there. they are still going to see winds and rain in the turks and caicos, but hopefully this should stay just to the east. so, the

now, the latest track has come out still a category 3 storm winds of 120 miles per hour. expected to stay east of the bahamas and then watch where this goes, guys. well east of florida, well east of the southeast coast making a little bit of a turn back towards the coast, meaning it misses bermuda, and then heads back out to sea after this point. some new information that we've just come in with and we're going to talk about that coming up at about 5:15 how this interaction with jose and what the impacts may be along the u.s. east coast. i'll see you back here in about 15 minutes. >> all right, doug, thank you. the entire island of puerto rico is still without power at this hour and it could be four to six months until electricity is restored. hurricane maria slamming into the island on wednesday as a powerful cat 5 storm. only now are residents and first responders beginning to learn the scope of all the damage. the hurricane ripped up trees, tossed around cars,

buildings and now whole communities are cut off from the help they so desperately need. people in puerto rico are not out of the woods yet. heavy rains are raising the risk of dangerous mudslides now. some of that much needed help, by the way, is coming from our area. this is video of virginia task force one at work cleaning trees in puerto rico. the elite search and rescue team is also helping in the command center in san juan. >> an exceptional high school student and track star shot and killed in a senseless robbery in the district. police say zair kelly was on his wam home from the store when another teenager tried to robb him. that deadly encounter happening near downing and 13th streets. this is in northeast. news 4's kristin wright joins us with reaction from his family this evening. kristin? >> reporter: want to show you something first. one of the many sad things about this is that zair was so close to home. he was almost there, j

now of zair yesterday. and it shows just this potential and how it was taken away. zair kelly had a bright future. this is him hours before he was murdered. speaking at a d.c. college prep program called college bound. >> i am zair. >> reporter: he had dreams of going to florida a&m, but those dreams are no more. zair was shot and killed last night. his godmother says on the way home from college bound. his old mentor in the program is sick with grief, standing in the park today where zair was murdered. >> my heart just dropped. my stomach started turning. i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: zair was almost home, but police say a 19-year-old with a gun tried to robb him.

massage envy. the detective testified that a massage envy manager wrote an internal report about the august incident, but allowed the employee to continue to see clients. today, a third woman contacted news 4 directly, alleging the suspect had touched her inappropriately and made her feel uncomfortable during a massage session in june at the bowie, maryland location. she says she also told massage envy management about her concerns. >> turnover. >> reporter: today news 4 went to the potomac massage envy trning i training institute. there are simple questions you can ask to make sure you are seeing a safe and professional massage therapist. >> if, in fact, the therapists have gone through background checks, if they're fully licensed, and how long they've been with that particular provider. >> reporter: a spokesperson for massage envy's headquarters

also worked. the franchise with the corporate headquarters is telling us, they have a very strict zero tolerance policy for any kind of bad behavior like this, and they are now investigating the franchises, the corporate office is, to see if they complied with their protocol as far as reporting and not allowing people who have these kinds of complaints to continue to see clients. >> sure sounds like they need to address it. all right, mark segraves with the very latest on this story that could grow even larger. we appreciate it. >> and new today, two teenagers in jail accused of kidnapping and raping a classmate, and the suspects told police that a young woman who knew the victim told them to do it. frederick police charged both victor gonzalez gutierrez and edgar chicas hernandez as adults. the attacks happened september 2nd. police said she was grabbed while walking home and she was taking to an pafrmt. officers are looking for the third suspect in this

and have done some of their own research. working with a bassett designer was really easy. just kind of ties in very well. we love it! it could cost you. it's one of the biggest changes to our transportation network proposed in recent history. now maryland governor larry hogan says he wants to expand the beltway, i-270 and the bw parkway and he wants to add tolls to get it done. our transportation reporter adam tess is along 207 with details how this is going down. adam? >> reporter: jim, we are talking about potentially a ton of construction, a ton of delays and a ton of people who have to put up with this for years. but, you know what? maryland transportation leaders say it is going to happen. this is a

traffic plan with massive implications. >> we are finally going to do something about it. >> reporter: now, take a look at just how much ground this proje project covers. the 270 corridor from frederick to beltway, the maryland side of the beltway, legion bridge to the wilson bridge and baltimore/washington parkway, d.c. to baltimore. all of the roads proposed to be expanded with four new lanes, two in each direction, and they will be tolled. you are 100% confident, the beltway, 270 are going to see massive changes? >> every one of them will see changes. >> reporter: what is still not known, how much land would have to be taken to make this project happen. the reaction, especially online, has been swift and not always positive. dan reid writes, to say this will be a hard sell for neighbors in bethesda and silver spring. is to say the ocean is damp. some drivers agree. >> they should invest in public transportation rather

>> reporter: none of this sounds good to you? >> not really. >> reporter: but there are supporters. brandon tweets, bring those express lanes on into maryland. lisa who lives north of frederick in middletown and rides 270 every day says something needs to be done. >> i am in support. i think it's been -- we've needed it for a long time. >> reporter: right now this is just the very early stages of the project, but state leaders say if all goes according to plan, construction could start in 2019. and back live, take a live look at 270, guys, one of the other issues here, the legion bridge, maryland leaders say that is also going to have to be fixed, and that will be addressed as part of this plan. we are talking about a massive, massive change to our road network that the governor proposed today, guys. back to you. >> all right. are we going to be 100 years old before this is all said and done? you say it starts in 2019. how long is this whole process, adam? >> reporter: well, jim, i mean, if you t

beltway with them unzipping that beltway there and putting in the express lanes, that took three to four years. we're talking about a number of roads around here. so, optimistically, if everything got done, mid 2020s, before all this happened, we'll have to see. >> we'll all be in the self-driving cars, dude, okay? thank you, adam. we'll see you later. >> reporter: yes, absolutely. or jet packs. >> or we could do this. starting next month is going to be a new way for people in prince william county to commute inside the beltway, by water. a fast ferry service is expected to launch from woodbridge. it will include stops in alexand alexandria, georgetown, the national harbor. no word on how long the trip is going to take, but it will be lovely. potomac local reported the fare will be $11 per person. there has also been an outpouring of support at

vowing to punish whoever is behind this to the fullest extent. in georgetown i'm justin finch, news 4. >> an update tonight on the local cases of swine flu, we reported from the live desk yesterday seven people who went to a charles county fair contracted the strain, and tonight we can tell you none of them is seriously sick. the maryland department of health tells us no one has had to go to the hospital. humans getting the swine flu from pigs is not unheard of. there have been cases before. >> but there is something else to be aware of, and doreen has been looking into this and is here to tell us about it. >> earlier today we talked with dr. anthony fouchy at the national institutes of health about this. he raised an issue we hadn't considered. swine flu in and of itself is not terribly concerning. it's the potential that pigs have to host a number of different strains that the doctor is concerned about. >>

capability of serving as a mixing vessel of different viruses. viruses from a big, human start mixing with each other, you can have a recombination of their genes to make it have different characteristics than the individual virus itself. what we don't want, what we don't want is the evolution of a virus that has the capability of spreading easily from person to person. >> hadn't thought about that. >> scary. >> some pigs at the county fair had the swine flu, some humans contracted it from them. even though right now the transmission ends once it hits the humans, there are ways to prevent even that. you know, it's the season for coun county fairs in our area. bit of advice, don't get too close to the animals there. this virus is airborne. so, they're maybe cute to look at, but look at them from a

immediately after a visit to the livestock area at the county fair. >> the people who work at the fair and have to herd the an maltz animals and have to herd them. >> wear a mask if you're working at the county fair. >> do a walk by. >> i'll stick to the rides and elephant ears. >> and the waffle cones. >> there you go. >> the fried dough of any kind. >> thanks, doreen. >> hurricane maria, now it's dumping heavy rain on the dominican republic. >> oh, it's still a dangerous storm out there.

week. and that's very good news because nobody wants to see what's been happening down there for so long. i want to show you, we're going to start off with what's happening toward the south around puerto rico where they are still seeing heavy rain around the dominican republic, flash flooding ongoing there as well, and look at the turks and caicos. this storm moving very close to that region. you can see it, though. it's still fairly well defined storm. you still see the buzz-saw like looking feature. you can still see the eye. turks and caicos right here, it is turning a little more to the north, but it needs to quickly do that or else it could be hitting turks and caicos a little bit harder than expected. we are hoping this is going to turn to the north and they get out of the winds. as a matter of fact, northwest at 9, watch this northerly track, east of the turks and caicos. that would be very beneficial for them. that would not get into the strongest winds. yes, they would probably still see tropical storm force and hurricane force winds, but not quite as bad as it was with irma. 2:00 on saturday,

the east to the bahamas. well east of the carolinas. it makes a little jog back to the north, closer to the carolina coast line at 85 miles an hour. really just a minimal category 1 hurricane. after that, though, almost all computer models take it out to sea. so good news there. here's jose, still spinning up towards the boston area, right around nantucket. still seeing incredibly high waves up around that area. the two are still going to come together. remember we talked about this dance during the day yesterday. we are watching this now. here's the good news. yesterday it looked like jose was going to continue to move to the east. maria would move closer to it and shift jose in to shore. that is not going to happen now. i think this is going to stay offshore, jose will stay offshore, and maria will stay well offshore as well and eventually move out to sea. almost no impacts around our region. that is some very good news. so, a better chance for offshore for maria, minor coastal impacts, yes, still seeing some high waves, still seeing hazardous surf, but that's really about it. no impacts locally. as a matter of fact, our w

fantastic. it will continue to be and we're calling tomorrow a fantastic friday. mostly sunny skies, high temperatu temperature 86 degrees. next ten days, it does not get better than this. look at all the sunshine. you're probably going to need to water the lawn. if you're like me and you've been seeding your lawn you're going to have to water it. first day of fall tomorrow. i'll be live tomorrow in mitchellville, as a matter of fact. i'll be there in the afternoon show. 86 tomorrow, 87 on sunday. 89, near 90 on sunday, again on tuesday. i still have tracking jose and maria on wednesday, but i think now, guys, we're looking a lot better. >> all right. glad to hear. thank you, doug. it was an incident that brought tears to the eyes of at least one player on the field. >> a little girl drilled by a foul ball while at a baseball game. coming up next how she is doing now. what the players say needs to happen because of this. >> one week after lloyd lee welsh

be more survivors trapped beneath it. it is a complicated process as you can imagine. they have to move the debris without causing it to shift because then it can possibly collapse further. at this point, the mexican government says it has already rescued 11 children, but they have also recovered the bodies of another 19 children and six adults. >> now at 5:30, the lyons sisters, ashley welsh came first to face with her second cousin today. she is speaking out in hopes of giving courage to other victims. and today in court both women said they are stronger than ever, but their lives will never be the same. megan fitzgerald now with this exclusive report. >> for some strange reason when i woke up, he was in my bed. and the fact that it was a family member is just even more horrific. >> well, that was

interview today for us. she's going to have much more coming up this evening on news 4 at 6:00. >> in the district, councilmembers got an earful from hundreds who showed up to voice concern about a decades old law that has a loop hole. the news 4 i-team showed you the pay outs and homes held hostage by renters who can pocket tens of thousands of dollars when the landlord decides to sell the house. investigative reporter joedy fleischer is here with what the council is planning to do to fix this. >> well, wendy, today's hearing lasted almost all day and got pretty heated. it was initially supposed to be a very narrow proposal to change the law for things like room rentals or english basements. but the council chairman went much further, instead proposing to exempt all single-family homes. the standing room only crowd reacted overwhelmingly. [ applause ] >> all right, okay, all right. >> reporter: it was the only

the audience erupted, largely filled with those sporting stickers and signs urging the d.c. council to fix topa. >> i understand it's the goal of the law to protect tenants, but it puts everyday people like myself in harmful situations. >> reporter: lorraine connor wept said she felt trapped unable to sell the property because the renters won't leave and she doesn't have the money to pay them. >> where am i supposed to get $30,000 to do that and they're holding my house? i can't sell it. >> reporter: the tenant opportunity to purchase act kicks in when owners of d.c. property that's been rented out decide to sell. it gives the renter the first right to buy the property, but more importantly, it also gives the ability to sell that right to someone else and pocket the profit. >> it does prevent tenants from being displaced. it gives them a chance to stay in that place that has become their home as well. >> reporter: opponents argued that rising r

relocate once they're forced out. sometimes they can negotiate with a buyer who will let them stay, or pay them large sums to leave. advocacy groups pointed out that tenants could use topa pay outs for things like moving expenses. >> if the tenant gets money, it's not because they're being extortionists. >> reporter: most of the crowd were realtors, owners and buyers sharing the same horror stories the news 4 i-team first [ inaudible ]. >> extortion and pay outs are not a part of it. >> i would not rent out a house in d.c. ever again. there must be a way to fix this. timeliness so that homeowners are not held hostage. >> reporter: now, the way the bill is worded right now, it would not protect homeowners like the ones you just saw, but the language will likely change before the full council votes. in fact, the chairman told me he will push to make

>> thank you, jody. >> now back to our top story at 5:30, ashley welsh came face to face with her second cousin today. she is speaking out in hopes of giving courage to other victims and today in court both women said they are stronger than ever again, but their lives will never be the same. here's megan fitzgerald. >> reporter: the commonwealth attorney said lloyd lee welsh will probably never be a freeman. he did appear in court this afternoon and apologized to his victims. but before he did, both of those women faced him and told him how much he destroyed their lives. >> when i met him, he was a carnival worker. and he came off like a very nice person. >> reporter: ashley welsh is bravely speaking with news 4 because she feels there could be more victims out there. she met lloyd lee welsh when she was just six years old. she thought he was a nice man until one night in march of 1996. >> for some strange reason when i woke up, he was in my

sexually abused her and she kept that a secret for more than 20 years. it wasn't until a few years ago when police started investigating welsh for the murder of the lyons sisters back in the '70s that she realized he was her cousin. >> the fact that it was a family member is even more horrific. it's just pitiful, it's sad. he's just, like i said, he's the dirt that i walk on. >> reporter: today in a prince william county courtroom, ashley and another victim confronted welsh shortly after he pled guilty to abusing them. one victim who didn't want to be identified angrily said in court, quote, that scared little girl went on to college, got married, had a baby, bought my first home, now i'm a strong woman. check mate. i win. in some ways, ashley says today was a win. the man who destroyed her life is in prison and prosecutors say he will likely never see freedom again. >> he's a coward and he's always going to be a coward.

that storm system is going to make its way up to the north and as it does it will begin to weaken a little bit. it may still strengthen over the next say 12 hours or so. after that point it is expected to become a category 2 offer the coast of the bahamas at 110 miles an hour on saturday. moving up the coast, and then away and most likely now out to sea as a category 1 storm. that is very good news. i think jose will do the same. yesterday it was looking like jose may meander out here and it is starting to move back to the west. it was looking like it might come into the coast. i don't think that is going to be the case. they're still seeing in the boston area winds gusting close to 40 miles an hour around the cape and nantucket. everybody starting to see things wind down just a bit. for our weather, gorgeous again tomorrow. 86 degrees, mostly sunny, a fantastic friday. now, again, tomorrow is the first day of fall. begins just after the 4:00 hour. but it's not going to feel like fall. as a matter of fact, theodore taking a closer look at fall

how it is doing. let's continue the hot streak. >> i know a few of us want fall to come on. it's coming. it will feel a lot like summer tomorrow. take a look at the norm. we should be around 78 degrees during the fall equinox. looks like we'll be closer to the mid-'80s and still feeling a lot like summer. nothing says fall like football. redskins taking on the raiders. if you're planning on heading there, take a look at the forecast. really some phenomenal weather for football. temperatures in the mid 80s, humidity dropping as we head into the weekend. that is good news. it will be very comfortable for the football game. a good amount of sunshine. a little cooler in the evening for that football game. temperatures expected to drop into the 70s. doug? >> yeah, the redskins taking on as you said, the raiders. now, something else. did you see my sunset times? 7:05. that means by this time next week the sun will set before 7:00. that is at the only thing i hate about winter. that early sunrise and early sunset. that's what's going to happen next week. 87 on saturday, 89 on sunday.

even near 90. now, this would be the warm est temperatures we've seen all month. and the first time we've seen 90 in over a month. 88 degrees on your monday, 90 degrees on tuesday. now, still tracking jose and maria. right now i feel very confident that these are going to stay out to sea. do we still have to watch it, though? yes. it's still five, six days away. anything could happen. it could move farther back toward the east coast. that's something we'll be watching. could move closer towards bermuda. we have to watch that nation as well. we're going to be watching all of this for you. one thing else i notice on this map, much cooler weather next weekend. and i do mean much cooler. many of you will see lows on sunday morning in the upper 40s. >> oh. >> to 50s. >> i'm missing my boots. >> now she's wearing flip-flops, folks. >> yes, yes, i am. thank you, handily, we're working for you. a man who came home
