two children were involved in this small plane crash, but we heard from authorities that they were okay. in this video, you can, in fact, see two very small children, they look like toddlers, that were retrieving some items from that plane there. again, from authorities we understand that the people involved in this were okay. they were checking out what appeared to be a small fuel leak, but really the concern here this evening is now that they are okay, seems to be snarling traffic in that area quite a bit. from the live desk, i'm erika gonzalez. back to you guys. >> thanks, erika. now to a weather alert and the near record temperatures we could be seeing this weekend. are you ready? >> this friday a big shock to our system. so, what is tonight looking like? >> i love when the kids are all bundled up like that. i don't know if you saw that in the stroller there. it is looking cold. not just cold, but frigid to the point where we may set a record at national airport. the record tonight is 26 degrees. the record at
5:01 pm
there. but out of national it could happen. take a look at the numbers right now. around you are other region we're sitting at 39 now in d.c., 34 in hagerstown. look at the 20s up to the north county. this is what we're going to be dealing with overnight into the day tomorrow. the current wind chill currently sitting at 30 degrees. 23 at winchester, 34 in gaithersburg, so if you're heading out, here we are on a friday night. everybody ready to go out on your friday night. yeah, it is going to be a cold one. make sure you bundle up for sure because it will be cold right on through early tomorrow, really all day tomorrow. a freeze warning in effect, it includes everybody around our region. and even if you're not in it, you will get well below freezing. your growing season is over that's why you don't have a freeze warning in your area. but everybody going below freezing. i expect everyone to be in the 20s by early tomorrow morning. yes, some of you may even be in the teens. >> all right. good to know. a mother is speaking up about a school scandal that rocked maryland, a school aide who was hiv positive is accused of

5:03 pm
and that is a heinous crime. that is an egregious act. someone like that should have never been allowed to work in the school system. >> reporter: her lawyers are sending a letter to charles county schools demanding reform to prevent more students from being sexually abused in the future. they are also asking for $1 million in compensation. they want the school system to offer training on how to spot predatory behavior to prevent more cases of abuse. they also want the system to strengthen background checks. >> we believe that it's a moral imperative that we take action today. >> reporter: as for one victim's mom, the reforms will be too late to help her son, but she hopes to help others. >> we also want to encourage those affected to come forward and fight with us. >> reporter: so far, bell has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. we reached out to charles county schools. they say so far they have not received a letter so they have no comment. in waldorf, darcy spencer, news4. >> three days after the election and control of the virginia hous
5:04 pm
in the air. republicans hold a 51/49 majority in the house, but three races remain still too close to call, and just one democratic victory would force a power sharing agreement. our david culver takes a closer look at one race that could tip the balance of power. >> reporter: walking into joshua cole's campaign headquarters, you wouldn't know election day has come and passed. now, what is the number of votes that separates you and your opponent? >> there are roughly 84 votes right now. >> reporter: he believes it is because the registrar refuses to count the ballots. this is the problem as some see it in stafford county. you have three separate piles here represented by the lead. this one, 55 military absentee ballots. then you've got an unknown number of provisional ballots. and then some democrats say you have another 1100 absentee ballots that have been thrown out. now, democrats as a whol
5:05 pm
so much on these. they're looking at these two, the 55 and the unknown number of provisional. they say these could determine the race outcome. >> we don't know who those votes are for. but if the fact of the matter that citizens' voices are being mufld a muffled and we shouldn't have that. >> we respect the decision of the board they came in too late. >> reporter: having served in the marines, republican candidate said he is fully in favor of counting the military absentee ballots that allegedly arrived late on one condition. >> if they were legally there on time, i would want them to be counted just like everybody would. >> reporter: still, cole and other virginia democrats have a lot of questions. quoting a colleague, he tells me -- >> she said, i can take a defeat, i can take a loss, but what i cannot and will not take is is an election being stolen from us. >> reporter: that's how you see it, too? >> abslightly. >> reporter: an unknown winner and another race still too close c

month's special election. >> congress passes laws to help prevent sex discrimination and assault in merp america, but ths growing concern congress isn't doing enough to police itself, or enough to prevent sex harassment on thousands of local women who work up on capitol hill every day. as scott macfarlane reports, congressional leaders are now promising action. scott? >> yeah, jim, just last night the senate passed a resolution requiring all senators and all their staffers undergo sex harassment prevention training. they have to complete the training within two months and repeat it every two years. meanwhile, in the u.s. house, the house's committee on administration has announced a hearing for tuesday to consider better possible training requirements in the house. california congresswoman jackie spear who was a former house staffer and has recently said she was harassed sexually in the past is among those scheduled to testify tuesday. the senate bill passed just hours a

5:09 pm
video from last year's catharsis on the mall shows the light shows. music and fire that are all hallmarks of this annual event. but organizers had also asked the national park service to allow a 45-foot-tall statue of a naked woman to go up here, but the park service said no to that because they said it would hurt the national mall grounds. >> we're really disappointed and hurt and it was a huge blow. >> reporter: despite not having the naked statue, catharsis on the mall will go on for the next 48 hours and there will still be lots to experience, including music, dance, conversation about issues facing women, and interactive art, like this huge nest. you can wrap yourself in. >> the theme of the catharsis is a nurturing of the heart. and, so, my next project is about building nests to take people back to the

5:14 pm
we continue to follow that breaking news. the plane crash in anne arundel county, maryland. >> news4 jackie benson got to the scene a short time ago. jackie, what are you learning there now? >> reporter: well, take a look. there's the plane. you can see it's being loaded on a flatbed truck here. that is the ramp from route 97. that is where the plane crashed. we understand shortly after the pilot took off from tipton air field, which is about six or seven miles from here. we understand that he had some type of engine trouble and was able to successfully -- safely, because safety and everyone getting out safely is always a
5:15 pm
success -- successfully land here. i am told that the description of the video from chopper 4 shows the pilot to be a man who appears to be in some type of military uniform, and that there may have been -- there are two children also in the plane, two younger children described as being, you know, about 3 to 5 years old. someone that we believe to be a family member came here earlier and took them away. now, what you can see live here right now, maryland state police examining that plane. obviously, you know, these crashes are documented and the plane itself and the damage to the plane is the evidence that will aid in their investigation of exactly what happened. but obviously a very, very close call, a very lucky and -- for t
5:16 pm
lucky outcome to something that could have been far, far worse. live in anne arundel county, jackie benson, news4. >> the veteran's day we honor the men and women who serve our country, but some of them don't have the basics like a place to live. the veterans administration is working to end homelessness. but it's a slow, difficult process. news4's chris gordon introduces us to a veteran who is trying to make the transition. >> we knew there were a lot of veterans out here that were on the street so they developed a program for veterans. >> reporter: alex forest is a navy veteran who served in the vietnam war. he says he returned with ptsd and depression which led to drinking and drugs. >> i just want my country to know, still know that i shouldn't have to be homeless. >> reporter: forest lives and works at central union mission in northwest washington.
5:17 pm
other homeless men. >> i just want to tell you, man, stick through it, stick to the process. i'm telling you, it works. >> reporter: about 10% of the homeless people here served in the military. you all have like 17 veterans at the mission each night and that's 17 too many. the va partnering with hud is providing eligible veterans with vouchers to pay rent. >> well, i'll be getting an apartment and i'm excited about it because i never had no one to help me like i'm being helped. >> reporter: but there are 209 veterans in the washington, d.c. area who have received rent vouchers, but can't find a landlord willing to rent them an apartment. the d.c. department of human services wants landlords to know this is a good deal for them as well as homeless vets. >> sometimes vouchers come with rent money, but also supportive services to help them main
5:18 pm
there. >> reporter: mr. forest says it will help change his life. >> not hearing a lot of sirens, not hearing a lot of gunshots, just to have something clean and d.c. e decent i can call my own. >> reporter: mr. forest says he hopes to be in his own apartment by thanksgiving. he says it's his dream to be in his own home for the holidays. reporting from central union mission, chris gordon, news4. >> this week as part of our mental health project, changing minds, we've been looking at teen anxiety and depression. tonight doreen gentzler is here with some perspective from parents. doreen? >> well, jim, raising teenagers is not for the faint of heart. it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between behavior that's just the normal part of growing up or something more serious that needs attention. but there are some clear warning signs that should make parents take notice. >> a
5:19 pm
child best. so, if you are ever hearing from a teacher or hearing from a friend that your child is behaving a little bit differently or a little more withdrawn than usual, or doesn't seem very happy, that is a very, very big warning sign that something else is going on. >> dr. ava gaman doons sees a lot of children with anxiety and depression. she identifies other signs that your child could be struggling. if your child is suddenly spending time with a different group of friends, or your child is not engaging as much with parents, siblings and friends -- >> and then you notice any decline in their academic performance, or a real, you know, lack of initiative, then you really want to pay close attention to that and evaluate, perhaps talk to your pediatrician or talk to a
5:20 pm
need to take it a step forward and get help for your child. >> dr. dons said it is best to have the initial consultation with somebody who already knows your child, like their pediatrician. it is also important that children get regular down time and that they learn coping skills. >> it is important to also help your child to find good and positive coping skills for stress. so, that can be anything from music, list noing ening to musi playing music, learning to play music, reading, spending quiet time, down time without devices and electronics. >> as more schools recognize the need to support students' mental health, there are more groups like this one available. it's called sources of strength at mclean high school. it trains students to listen to their peers, to look for signs that their friends might be struggling, and to connect with adults who can help.
5:21 pm
promoting positive friendships and just a positive environment. and i think that's really good. and it just promotes healthy relationships and, like, it's okay to not be okay all the time. and to talk to people about that. >> we have put together a whole lot of mental health resources across our area and that information is available to you on our website. go to the nbc washington app and search changing minds. there is such a wide range of normal in teenagers, right. some over share, some tell you nothing. and it's really good for parents to work with somebody who knows the kids. >> right. and those tips seem very logical and easy to apply. >> but when you're in the middle of a situation and you have questions, it's good to turn -- to know you can turn to someone else. >> and digital devices, the student mentioned about relationships. it's tough when so many
5:22 pm
relationships are on these things. >> that is a significant parts of what kids are dealing with. >> thanks, doreen. >> sure. >> pay to play, it will close off all parts of national mall and rock creek park to teams. >> weather alert, doug back with how cold it is going to get this weekend and what you need to expt when you start your ec

5:24 pm
5:25 pm
oh, really? >> all right, doug, as promised, boy did we go into the deep freeze this morning. >> tomorrow is going to be a real deep freeze. you woke up it was definitely on the cooler side. temperatures have fallen all day as the cold air really tries to move on in. yeah, we are in for not just the coldest night of the season, the coldest november 10th ever! actually november 11th tomorrow is when it's going to be the coldest. out there right now, a beautiful shot. look at the sunset tonight, sun went down half an hour ago, but a really nice shot as we look at the blue ridge. those numbers are falling, 39, and look at the wind. still at -- north at 17 miles per hour. you know that gives you the wind chill. look at the current temperatures. these are the temperatures. we're already at freezing in winchester, close to in martinsburg. 37 degrees culpepper, and honeytown. the wind still a big factor. we see wi

5:28 pm
tomorrow it is going to be a cold one. those numbers will be updated, mild numbers have come in even colder for tomorrow morning. 42 degrees for your day tomorrow, frigid start. mostly sunny and a cold afternoon. we're not going to see much in the way of wind tomorrow afternoon. that's a good thing. so, 42 and sunshine we'll be okay. once the sun goes down it will be cold again. 34 tomorrow night in the city, most of you in the 20s. 51 sunday. couple chances of showers, but no real big storms. this one does look like it will be a big storm, but most likely staying just to the north and west. that is something we'll continue to keep our eyes on. middle of next week looking okay, cool but not bad. >> we'll see you outdoors at 6:00 and 11:00 tonight, too, doug. >> looking forward to that. >> fine, i'll go outside, too. >> okay. >> don't forget your mittens. a soldier lost his legs while serving in afghanistan, but it didn't slow him down. he's on a mission now that is ending here in d.c., and you can help him get here. >> also tonight, new controversy surrounding

5:32 pm
information on the plane crash in anne arundel county that we've been closely following for you over the past hour and a half. >> it looks like they are now removing it from the highway. that pilot took off from tipton airport in fort mead, maryland. he had engine problems immediately and tried to return to the air field but was force today make an emergency landing on i-66 northbound. >> there was one adult, two children. everyone made it out okay. chopper 4 caught two children who appeared to be removing items from the plane. news4's jackie benson is gathering more information right now and you'll see her live at 6:00 tonight. >> there are new parking restrictions in the northwest d.c. neighborhood. it's causing some confusion and a lot of the frustration tonight. >> yeah, these restrictions could last for months while a new women's shelter is being built. >> news4's derrick ward talked to residents caught by surprise when the no-parking signs went up. >> reporter: tom higgins was
5:33 pm
surprised by the no parking signs on wisconsin avenue outside his home and all up and down the block. the signs weren't there yesterday. >> wait a minute, people can't park here unless they have to special item. >> reporter: it has to do with the new women's shelter going up a block or so away behind the second district police headquarters on idaho avenue. construction will take away parking, so the plan is to have police parking including their personal vehicles spread out around the area. higgins and other residents don't have a problem with that. >> only downside is the cars that normally park there have got to go somewhere. >> reporter: the worry is that it will be on already crowded and zoned side streets with new businesses and residences already in place, you can understand the concern. there have been community meetings on the ward 3 plan. now it is coming to fruition. a garage component of the shelter is expected to be done before the shelter is complete, and that may alleviate the parking challenges. the residents tom higgins, he's circumspect about the whole thing. change is inevitable. >> our sleepy little
5:34 pm
becoming very different. >> reporter: restrictions will remain in effect until june of next year. in northwest, derrick ward, news4. >> the disturbing sexual misconduct allegations against comedian louis c.k. are true. the confirmation came this afternoon from the comedian himself. this is one of our top trending stories right now. the "the new york times" was first to report these allegations made by five different women. they say the comic performed lewd acts on himself in front of them. in a lengthy written statement, louis c.k. said he's aware of the impact his actions have had on the victims and he apologized to people he has worked with. he ends his 438-word statement with this quote. i have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything i want. i will now step back and take a long time to listen. you can read his full statement in our nbc washington app. >> small group of demonstrations
5:35 pm
this afternoon, blasting what the protesters called proposals that will hurt the middle class. members for the americans with tax fairness say tax proposals by the house and senate will wind up benefiting the ultra wealthy. they argue the plans which republicans believe will provide relief to average americans will instead allow banks and corporations to avoid paying their fair share. with plans from both chambers of congress now out, one thing is clear. some deals will need to happen to find a consensus. let's take a look at some of the big differences tonight. when it comes to tax brackets, the senate would keep the current seven in place. the top rate would be lowered by about a percent. the house simplifies it to just four, using a higher income for the top. state and local deductions or salt deductions would go away with the senate plan. those deductions favor higher income states that are typically mo
5:36 pm
and california. the house revised plan is to allow for deductions on the first 10,000 of property taxes. the house wants to kill the estate tax, which the gop has called the death tax, but it would stay in the senate, which the threshold is doubling on that end. the final difference, the senate would delay lowering the corporate tax rate by a year which will likely be an issue for some in the house, and of course an issue for president trump as well. wendy? >> it's a popular place. local leagues love to play there. but are the days numbered? the sport ban proposed for the national mall, and how you can find it. and do you feel addicted to spoes social media, it is apparently no accident. thanksgiving just around the corner. news4 working for the community providing food baskets for people in need. if you want to
