it happened on the field, but this is no game. across the nfl players, coaches and owners taking a stand by kneeling. or locking arms. sitting. raising a clinched fist. >> it's only a few times in a man's life where you have a chance to stand up for something you believe in and in and make statement. >> reporter: it was a statement that sparked this controversy. >> wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. >> reporter: president trump taking a swipe at the league and the handful of players who have been kneeling in the national anthem in an effort to bring attention to racial inequality and police brutality. now it is a battle with the president online with a volley of posts not only calling out the nfl but nba star steph curry announcing his team would not be invited to the white house to celebrate their w

said that north korea, quote, won't be around much longer. and at the u.n. last week you'll remember president trump promised to destroy north korea if it attacked the u.s. or one of its allies. the danger here is there is no back down in north korea. while kim is interested in survival the political culture there means taking any perceived insult and escalating it. leon? >> thanks, chris. chaos inside a senate hearing today over health care as protests erupted inside and outside the room. police arrested protesters, some of them in wheelchairs, out in the hallways there. the gop is making a last ditch effort to repeal obamacare before this saturday. that's the deadline to pass the bill with a simple senate majority. a new version of the graham cassidy bill was released today to address the concerns of some uncommitted gop senators. >> we are hearing that college students live in the apartment where someone was shot and killed over the weekend. it happened just a fewes

at first after she stepped into the restaurant she felt something like a bee sting. suddenly the pain became excruciating so bad she dropped her cell phone to the ground. she reached down to her foot and that's when she felt something squirming. she began shouting. >> you know, yelling out in pain, yelling, i got bit, i got bit. kicking my foot, it finally falls off, let go. hits the floor. and mike and my son both step on it pretty instantaneously. it was a very quick process from, you know, two steps and a scream and that was it, it was over and it was done in the foyer. it was five seconds that turns your life upside down. >> reporter: now, she was rushed to the hospital where she was eventually given antivenom. she was there for five days before she could go home. and now nearly two weeks later she still can't put any weight on that leg and she says simple tasks are

alone. but again, the biggest concerns are going to be in the outer banks. where basically we are seeing tropical storm warnings through thursday from kill devil hills to areas just north of the wilmington area. so, what kind of impacts are we seeing from maria? for the outer banks the time line there really tomorrow through thursday, with the worst time period being tomorrow afternoon through wednesday afternoon, and again the greatest impacts are along the north carolina coast. here at our beaches it is going to be breezy with some rip currents right on into the weekend. if you're heading there, heads up for that. you'll want to stay tuned to the latest forecast. here's tomorrow morning with the future weather. 6:00 a.m. we have clouds in the area due to maria. thankfully that is all we're going to be noticing from this storm. by lunch time, though, we're still tracking plenty of clouds especially east of the mountains. if you are in the mountains tomorrow you'll have much more sunshine. by 7:00 maybe an isolated shower in southern maryland. most of us tuesday is completely dry. as we look to wednesday it is kind of a repeat

house fence and roaming the grounds won't serve any time in jail. >> news 4's scott macfarlane and the news 4 i-team were there in the courtroom when the man was set free. >> a judge at d.c. superior court said no prison time despite prosecutors asking he serve time for jumping the white house fence. he is more than one of 20 people arrested for breaching security at the white house since 2014 according to a news team 4 investigation. his case had some differences. in court filings today prosecutors said jonathan tran was obsessed with donald trump, with the president. they say he also wanted to warn president trump about "fake news" and they say he had suicidal thoughts before jumping the fence. he made it over the fence this march onto the south lawn as well with a back pack on his back, secret service says. inside the back pack were cans of pepper spray. when we met up with jonathan tran and his attorney earlier this summer outside court, he

mr. tran, would you be able to tell us at least why you did what you admitted doing today in court? >> he's not going to comment. >> no comment. >> reporter: former secret service agents and prosecutors tell us these are difficult cases for which to secure long prison sentences. >> it's trespassing on federal property. and, so, just like if somebody was trespassing on a commercial entity, the punishment of the crime is minuscule. >> reporter: his defense attorney say tran is undergoing mental health care now. he will serve his probation back home. here in san jose, california. at d.c. federal court, scott macfarlane, news 4. >> we are following some breaking news here at the live desk. we have just learned that a d.c. police officer has been killed in a car crash. bea barry east man was driving on route 32 in clarksville. for some reason he crossed double yellow lines and ran into a tractor-trailer. the metropolitan police department is asking for prayers for its officer.

with the department. he was only 31 years old. back to you. >> all right, thank you, chris. developing now, dramatic images out of the capital. protesters in the hall, protesters in the hearing room there as well. this could be one of the last rounds in the battle over repealing obamacare and it is being hard fought. >> protesters, many in wheelchairs, were removed after disrupting the senate hearing on the graham cassidy bill. quite an emotional day up there on the hill. >> reporter: absolutely, pat. it is still going right now. for republicans this is a politically high stakes affair for them. they have to pass obamacare repeal by the end of the week. if they don't, their chances for getting it through decrease significantly. that's just one of two major things the president is watching. he's also watching north korea, the top diplomat today issuing a new threat on his way out of new york.

care reaches a boiling point on capitol hill, tension with north korea now hitting a new high. that country's foreign minister accusing president trump of declaring war in this weekend tweet, threatening they won't be around much longer. days after american jets flew provocatively close to the north korean coast, the foreign minister threatened to shoot down u.s. jets in self-defense. >> not at all, we have not declared war on north korea. frankly, the suggestion of that is absurd. >> reporter: the war of words heating up. while on capitol hill, it's a battle for votes. the latest gop obamacare repeal bill now one no vote away from failure, with republican senators rand paul and john mccain already against it. a frustrated president trump responding on this alabama radio show. >> you can call it what you want, but that was a -- that's the only reason we don't have it

>> reporter: republicans holding just one hearing on the graham/cassidy bill enough to draw hundreds of people from around the country hoping to have their voices heard. >> it's a death sentence. >> reporter: a chaotic scene in the hearing room, some protesters literally carried out. hoping to pressure senators to vote no on what could be their last chance to repeal obamacare. and for republicans now, it is truly a race against the clock. they need to get this done by the end of the week or their vote threshold will increase, meaning they would then need to get democrats on board for an obamacare repeal and, pat, as you know, that is highly unlikely, back to you. >> all right, blayne alexander. jefferson davis highway in alexandria is getting a new name and the meeting is tonight. they put lots of names on the table. top choices include abraham lincoln , alexandria arlington, barack obama, heather heyer, and that's in
