[ applause ] >> new this morning, just hours after president trump signed an executive order aimed at changing some of the affordable care act laws, he makes a brash move towards insurance companies. late last night the white house announced plans to halt payments to insurers. the cost sharing reduction payments are used to reimburse insurers for lowering out of pocket costs for custs.

government cannot legally continue to make the payments without authorization by congress. but critics of the president call the move a spiteful act that would hike premiums. president trump is expected to announce his decision to decertify the iran deal. the president's decision comes ahead of sunday's deadline that triggers a 60-day window for lawmakers to determine whether to reimpose sanctions related to iran's nuclear program lifted as part of the 2015 agreement. officials say the administration specifically wants to renegotiate the sunset clause, the provisions on the inspections and curtail iran's ballistic missile programs. tracie potts will join us in a few minutes to break down what this all means for us. if you feel a big spook this morning, you may want to know that it's friday the 13th. it's actually pretty rare for this day to fall during the same month as halloween. in fact, it's only happened three times in the past

fear this day? some scholars think it started with christianity. some believe jesus was crucified on a friday and there were 13 guests at the last supper. there are no mentions of the so-called spooky day before the 19th septemberry. some 2,000 years after jesus' death. at some point there was a study done and found you're no more likely to go to the hospital on friday the 13th than any other day. but you are a bit superstitious, there is a way to ward off anything bad from happening. all you need to do is repeat the word pair a skef i deck try phobia. >> i practiced about ten times before i came in here. >> it was made up by a man who told his patients to say it over and over again to cure them of their fear of friday the 13th. i was born on the 13th. it's my lucky number. i love friday the 13th. that's funny

thing. if you died on the 13th, the belief is that he rose again. you would think that's not an issue. >> christianity are with -- >> i love friday the 13th. i'm happy. >> of course it will make you forget about your fears. you're concerned about saying it right all day. >> look at somara. first time out of the gate. >> i'm going to say it all night. i'm going to the fields of horror tonight. i have to say it. >> do you have to say it on the path? >> i've never heard that word in my life. >> it sounds made up. like a made-up story. >> nonetheless, i think it's going to be a gloomy night. it's going to feel spooky out there, isn't it? >> it is. it's going to be that type of friday the 13th weather. it's cloudy and cool and dreary a krots area. similar to yesterday. we have weekend improvements and sunday will be summer looir-lik. temperatures will be in the 80s. the fall weather returns next week for a whil

fewer people tweeting today. why some are calling for a boycott in the wake of the harvey

today, women, men and some celebrities are calling for a twitter boycott. they say they're upset over the way one of harvey weinstein's vis

twitter temporarily locked after rose mcgowan's account after weinstein's misconduct. she included a private phone number in the tweet which is against policy. mcgowan settled a sexual harassment suit with him in 1997 for $100,000. yesterday, she accused him of rape. a little bit of drizzle when you head out the door this morning. but the weekend, boy, that's shaping up to be great, right, soma somara. >> if you gnt to the wharf yesterday, we had the grand opening, take a look at this. mild conditions. saturday is the best bet. a lot more sunshine and warmer by sunshine. a northern virginia woman may be a little hesitant to jump in the shower this morning after finding a surprise visitor the other day. who was there to greet her when she pulled the shower

high winds for several hours across the area. that will start tomorrow morning. it's going to be a tough go with firefighters still working the frontlines and making progress at this point. they're getting help from strike teams moving in from across the country as well as the national guard. again, they're saying containment still a long way away here. >> jay, how did we know with the fires. how they started? >> reporter: yeah. the investigation just very preliminary at this point. but they're looking at either a lightning strike or perhaps a power line that went down president winds blowing over a power pole or something like that. they'll get to that when they k right now they're focused on stopping this fire and protecting those who may be in its path. >> jay gray live for us in napa. jay, thank you. it's 4:47. another bombshell after president trump signs an executive order on health care. >> he's looking to deliver anot

ending the sub sudden is to certain health insurance companies. we're joined by tracie potts to break down the plan. how is this going to work, tracie? >> those who have marketplace insurance, it reduces -- excuse me, it reduces their out of pocket costs by giving billions of dollars in payments directly to the insurance companies. that's the way it's worked. but republicans and the trump administration now argue that the payments were never authorized. the president after signing off on one executive order that would change essentially make it easier to purchase plans that don't meet obamacare standards. then last night they announced the subsidies are going away. keep in mind that more than half the people who have marketplace insurance benefit from these subsidies, which essentially means that insurers will go up on their rates to compensate. we've been looking at the rates down south and

by this. many of the rates have gone up already. the congressional budget office said 20 to 25% premium hike is what people can expect without the subsidies in place. >> tracie potts live on capitol hill for us. thank you. the boyfriend of a beloved pregnant teacher is now indicted for murder. tyler tesher whom you see here was indicted on thursday. he shot and killed laura wallen last month. she was pregnant with his child when she disappeared. her body was found in a shallow grave in damascus. police say he admitted he was engaged to another woman. hate is nothing new on a college campus. there have been so many recent incidents at the university of maryland, they've stepped up investigations. it has to do with the drawings and language someone scrawled inside a campus dining
