looking at 270 from there to spur, you're on time. take you 26 minutes. aaron? >> melissa, thank you. it's a website a lot of people use to book vacations. this morning, we're learning about a strong warning and claims that trip advise voir deleted reviews at certain resorts. for a while, president trump was without his twitter account. what caused his page to be taken down. a frightening new report when it c om

people ask you, how can ayou possibly do this?e, and we say, how can we not? if these kids go through what they go through, we can support them. dr. ralph northam has been our volunteer medical director for the last eighteen years. he's made such a difference in so many families' lives. ralph northam: these kids have given me more than i could ever give them. and i wanna make sure that every family in virginia can afford good healthcare when they need it.

down from trip advisor. some mention blackouts and race in mexico. >> consumers are starting to understand that reviews can be manipulated on these sites. i think the level of trust is decreasing. >> earlier this week, trip advisor apologized. it says it used to be family friendly. it has changed the policy. the former guidelines went too far. decision 2017 just a few days away. the house of delegates race in virginia that pits one of the most -- against one of the first transgender to run in the country. sheena, what's the weather going to be like? >> enjoy it today. especially this afternoon. this morning, though, you really could probably get away without a jacket. we'll quickly be into the 60s once the sun comes u

unseasonably warm. we have one randomly coolay d mark herring: my mom always worked hard to provide for our family. at one point, she got fired for of all things -- getting married. that was a lifelong lesson for me: when people are hurt, you need to stand up and do something. and i've never forgotten that as your attorney general. whether it's protecting veterans and seniors from shady debt collectors, or cracking down on gangs and drug traffickers, i have one guiding principle: do what's right for people. i'm mark herring, candidate for attorney general, and i sponsored this ad. i'veand at sixty-two,life. you shouldn't have to worry about health care. but that's exactly where i find myself because of politicians like bob marshall. marshall voted against expanding medicaid to thousands of virginians who get up every day and go to work but still can't afford insurance. and marshall wants to end obamacare, allowing insurance companies to deny

ditions. virginians like you and me. i'm danica roem, candidate for delegate, and i sponsored this ad. ralpand as a doctor, nobody ever asked if i'm a democrat or republican. they just want my help. so if donald trump is helping virginia i'll work with him. but donald trump proposed cutting virginia's school funding, rolling back our clean air and water protections, and taking away health care from thousands of virginians.

od up to donald trump on all of it. ed gillespie refuses to stand up to him at all. good morning. the kids probably don't need a warm jacket. it's a milder start to your friday. wait until the afternoon. look at this bus stop forecast. by 3:00 p.m., the upper 70s. unseasonably warm weather today. chance of an isolated shower. we're going to put more rain chances in for part of your weekend. chuck will show you that part of the forecast in a bit. >> sheena, thank you. it's 4:45 now. president trump will leave today to start a five-country, ten-day tour of asia. >> it's the longest presidential trip to asia since president george h.w. bush. blayne alexander is live on capitol hill with more.

>> this is going to be a major trip for president trump. the white house, of course, is saying he's going over there to strengthen diplomatic relationship. it's to stabilize the relationship with north korea. president trump for the past few months now has been trading these names and insults with north korean leader kim jong un. so the president is now going to be talking with surrounding countries. he's visiting china, of course, a strong ally of north korea and visiting u.s. allies, south korea and japan in hopes of trying to get all of those countries to help america get the rogue regime under control. the president spoke last night on fox news saying he's optimistic that this trip will yield positive results, but also saying it will not be good for everybody if it doesn't. >> blayne, i want to turn to c

house republicans released their tax plan yesterday. what are the chances of the plan passing? >> in short, in its current form, not very high. i guess i could say that we're looking at the fact that house republicans will have to get this done and then send it over to senate. of course, senators there, each gop senators will want to put their own flair on it, their own touches on it before sending it to the house. we're expect thg to go -- complicate thg for republicans is the fact that they have narrow margins, especially on the senate side. they have to get nearly every republican on board to pass this. democrats are fighting tooth and nail to keep it from going through. in short, we can expect if this does make it to the president's desk, it will work somewhat different from what it does right now. >> blayne alexander on the hill this morning. thank you. it is now 4:47. president trump's twitter account will be up and running when he leaves for asia today. you probably heard about this.

person's last day served up a parting shot by deactivating the president's account. this is what you saw instead of mr. trump's account. twitter has apologized. the condition called the actions an inadvertent mistake. we turn now to decision 2017. the virginia governor's race is not the only one being watched nationally. also in the spotlight, house of delegates race that pits one of the most conservative members of the general assembly against the first transgender woman to run for office in the commonwealth. it's the way republicans are referring to her gender that's upsetting some democrats. rome is running against bob marshall for house district 13. marshall's campaign sent out this mailer paid for by the republican party of virginia. it refers to rome as a man. >> when delegate marshall realized he cannot win on public policy issues on traffic, jobs, schools and health

referred to the -- >> the republican party of virginia defended its flyer, its executive director saying in part, the mailers absolutely do not attack danica's gender identity. delegate marshall turned down our request to interview him. a survivor in the deadly workplace shooting in edgewood, maryland said he thought the suspected shooter was his friend. he left the baltimore hospital last night and could not wait to see his four children. a reporter from our affiliate station in baltimore asked him about the suspect. >> i thought we was friends. we ended not friends, i guess. >> he faces a long rehabilitation and recovery. he was one of five people shot last month at

solutions. three people died. listen to the 911 calls for help here. >> i'm at work and somebody came and started shooting. >> are you out of danger? >> i saw three guys running away from it. somebody was shot. i'm calling for them. >> police arrested the accused gunman in delaware after he shot another person there. getting new details in a double murder yesterday in frederick county, maryland. sheriffs deputies arrested joyner. egs he's accused of killing a man and a woman outside of these homes yesterday morning. the sheriffs office says joyner ran a man and woman over twice in a chevy malibu. still trying to figure out a motive here. chris lawrence at the live desk. excitement for a group of folks waiting for an iphone. a car chase ended near an apple r

septemberly abandoned. the suspects are still on the run right now. no one was hurt. the folks still in line. eun? >> chris, thank you. it's 4:51. racist incidents are on the rise according to new data released. between january and september, there were 23 incidents of harassment or vandalism in maryland. 22 each in d.c. and virginia. so far this year there have been 82 reported anti-semitic incidents across the region. compare that to just 22 in to 2016. >> chicken shah warm a is something you'd expect at -- definitely not in a high school lunch line much that's what fairfax students and staff enjoyed this week. the marinated chicken topped with fresh veggies and yogurt was the brainchild of a group of high schoolers in lake braddock. they worked on it for

and won the countywide contest to have their food featured. it's cost effective and doesn't have a lot of calories. >> we had to cut down and calculate how much sodium, how much chicken and how many ounces of yogurt. we had to basically, it was a mathematical equation. we had to calculate everything. >> today is the last day to get this special hot meal on the menu there. fairfax county is one of the most diverse school districts in the country. >> that looks delicious. to get that in a school lunch. >> just today, that's it. >> i had two pieces of toast for breakfast. that sandwich looks really, really good. >> i could eat a hamburger right now. >> so what a great day yesterday. >> that's the kind of weather i could go for every day of the year. >> i refer to it as top down running weather. no doubt about it. >> oh, on the car? >> don't be mean to me now. convertible is still lost at sea. >> still?

she'll be back one of these -- >> so sad the convertible is out of commission. >> he doesn't have right now. >> drive one of the other cars. >> go ahead and cut their mikes off. >> this for me, means visor instead of hat. glad they're on my side. meanwhile, isabel. running in the sunshine. eight miles yesterday. went across the arlington memorial bridge. a woman yelled boomer sooner as i ran across. high quality people all over the dmv. 59 degrees to get your friday started here in town. really 50s on the mild side all over the region. the mild weather lasts one more day. tomorrow will be a lot cooler and cloudier around here. if you like the warmth and the sunshine, get out today before 3:00 or 4:00. if you leave work around lunchtime.

go back. that's my recommendation. there will be a smattering chance of showers coming through as the weather front comes by. best chance for a scattered shower between 4:00 and 10:00 this afternoon and this evening. tomorrow, in the upper 70s today. tomorrow only in the mid-50s with a lot of clouds today. if you're running on sunday morning in the across the bay 10k, temperatures in the mid-50s. not a bad day to run over the bay bridge and back. it's the fifth largest 10k in america. saturday night when you go to bed, don't forget to move your clocks back. sunday afternoon looks nice, the first half of monday looks good and then cooler rain chances on monday and carries through next week. let's look at traffic with melissa mollet. brand new problem on the beltway that popped up. we're talking about the inner loop. the local lanes after st. barnabas road. we understand it's blocked by police activity.
