tipton air field experienced some type of engine trouble, was trying to head back to tipton when he had to make that decision to land the plane here on an exit ramp from route 665 -- from 95 -- excuse me, 665 outside annapolis. maryland state police were very quickly on the scene. no injuries to anyone aboard, i am told from people who have seen the video, that the pilot appears to have been wearing some type of military uniform. so, i don't know at this point whether perhaps he may be a military pilot or something like that. a relative came to the scene, collected the children. the plane is being taken for evidence for examination in an investigation by both the faa and the ntsb. live in anne arundel county, jackie benson, news4. >> incredible to walk away from that. jackie, thank you.

who is hiv positive sexually molested her son. >> now, her lawyer is putting the school district on notice. >> trying to bring awareness about this incident, not only from a criminal perspective, but from a social conscious perspective what we need to do today, not tomorrow, today to make sure our children are safe in schools. >> her son is just one of a dozen children police tell us carlos bell sexually abused at a middle school in waldorf. >> news4's darcy spencer talks with the young man's mother who says the school should have done more to protect children. >> reporter: this mom asked that we protect her identity and distort her voice. she says her son was one of dozens of boys allegedly molested by carlos bell. now she's demanding reforms. >> i would like to bring awareness to not only other parents

also other school systems. >> reporter: bell is a former instructional aide at benjamin stoddard middle school and former track coach. bell says he's hiv positive. it is unclear if any of the children contracted the disease. >> within two years, 42 victims, and no one was clue ed in? this man had to have some tendencies he's a predator. someone should have realized and paid attention to. >> reporter: she is sending a letter to charles county schools demanding they provide training on how to spot sexual predators to prevent more cases of abuse. they also want the system to strengthen background checks. one attorney even suggested that schoolworkers wear body cameras just like police. >> i'd like to think we draw the line when it comes to our kids. i'd like to think that if we believe that something that can be done, that we can come together collectively as a community and say, yeah, let's do it. >> reporter: carlos bell is facing hundreds of state and federal charges. so far he has pleaded n g

we reached out to charles county schools about this letter. they say they haven't received it yet. in waldorf, darcy spencer, news4. >> now to the unwelcome november surprise for republicans, the bombshell allegations against alabama senate candidate roy moore. he denies the accusation that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl back when he was 32. he repeated his denial to radio host sean hannity this afternoon, but he hasn't gone before any journalist to answer their questions. blayne alexander is tracking the story for us. blayne? >> reporter: and, doreen, certainly a lot of people have a lot of questions still remaining for roy moore. now, coincidentally, these allegations became public on the very same day that the senate voted unanimously for mandatory sexual harassment training. and now many republicans, even some who had previously endorsed him, are trying to keep their distance.

republican senate candidate from alabama roy moore who built a base on christian values denies he initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl decades ago when he was 32. >> i never talked to her, never had any contact with her. allegations of sexual misconduct with her are completely false. i believe they're politically motivated. >> reporter: three other women say he also pursued them around the same time when they were in their teens. moore speaking on the sean hannity radio show on offense. >> this has never been brought up. it has never been even mentioned. and all of a sudden four weeks out they're bringing up -- they're bringing up because it's political. it's a direct attack on this campaign. >> reporter: nbc news has not independently confirmed the account and the accuser never filed a police report or a civil suit. today, top republicans quickly backing away from the candidate. >> unless he can prove his innocence, the burden is now on

believe he has to step down. >> reporter: more than a dozen gop senators joining that call. the white house adding allegations alone should not ruin a person's life. >> however, the president also believes that if these allegations are true, judge moore will do the right thing and step aside. >> reporter: but the decision ultimately comes down to the people of alabama. >> i don't think it's true. people that are against him are really against him. >> reporter: and conservative breitbart news published a story ahead of the post in which moore slammed the allegations as a smear campaign. now, moore is refusing to drop out of the race and his name is already on the ballot. alabama officials say that even if he does decide to step aside, it would be too late to remove his name. jim, doreen? >> all right, that's blayne alexander reporting from capitol hill. thank you, blayne. >> some local high school students honored our military veterans with a day of service today. students and teachers here at

alexandria spent the day weeding and mulching school grounds. veterans and spifirst responder helped out, too. they call it operation legacy. it gives the students a chance to work with our veterans while building character through service. a huge dragon, big bonfire, and lots of music, arts and dance considered a small scale version of burning man, and it's coming to the grounds of the washington monument this weekend. news4's mark segraves joins us now from what is called catharsis on the mall. mark? >> reporter: yeah, hey, jim. it's here, it's started, it's underway. this is actually one of the art installations here that i'm standing in that you can come down and experience as part of the catharsis on the mall. right behind me over my shoulder, i don't know if you can see that dragon there on that bus, there actually is a stage on top of that dragon where a band will play at some point. the catharsis on the mall will run basically nonstop from now until sunday night.

mall and it's open to anyone who wants to come town down and let loose, or just observe. and there will be lots to see and experience. >> we're going to have a lot of live music. we've got a lot of art from local artists, regional artists. we're going to be doing a lot of dancing. we have fire spinning, ceremony and dance with fire. >> reporter: one of the events that gets most of the attention here will be the fire when they burn this wooden temple just like they did last year. but another big attraction will be missing, a 45-foot statue of a naked woman. while the park service said yes to the fire, they said no to the statue. >> so, there are all kinds of exhibits that you can come down and experience. there will be bands, there will be dancetiing, there will will art exhibits. there will not be food or drinks for sale because this is a first amendment permit. he

sales of anything. the bonfire will be saturday night at 9:00. sunday morning at about dawn, that dragon behind me will lead the procession from here up to capitol hill. that is the very latest. jim and doreen, back to you guys. >> pack your warm woollies if you're going out there. thank you, mark. >> absolutely. >> tonight the investigation everyone is following is gaining momentum. >> one of the president's former top advisors in the hot seat, shifting the focus from the campaign to the white house. meet the press moderator chuck todd joins us. >> plus, virginia's election isn't completely finished. in one part of our area, the margins of victory are razor then, there is more than just a win on the line. ee just >> just in time for your weekend, a storm team4 weather alert, if you think it's cold w, just you wait unnot

back now with a deeper look at this week in politics. >> and there is a lot to dig into tonight. the republican party rocked by those bombshell allegations against baalabama senate candide roy moore just weeks before a critical election. >> and that comes just days after virginia voters turned out in droves and fired warning shots that appear to have been heard pretty loud and clear at the capital. >> and nbc news has new reporting on the special counsel investigation. one former national security advisor michael flynn ofr

transition to work secretly on turkey's behalf while in the white house? >> chuck todd is the nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. chuck, we are just learning that two republican senators have just pulled their endorsements from moore. mike lee of utah and steve danes of montana. up until now we've heard a lot of if, if it's true. is this the start of a flood? >> the flood already was there. i think mike lee, to me, pulling his endorsement is more damaging. the way he worded the reason, he was giving roy moore a chance. roy moore did sean hannity's radio show today when asked about the allegations. all of his denials had holes in it for what it's worth. if you were -- and, you know, and you could say, well, gees, he's just a politician. no, no, this is the man's first name is judge, okay. he knows exactly what he's saying legally and all those

the accusations and hearing judge moore's response, he's decided to pull his endorsement. basically saying, i believe the women. roy moore is not going to get out. the national party is in a lose/lose situation. the calculation is this. mitch mcconnell believed this from the very beginning which is why he never supported roy moore from the beginning and tried to prevent him from running and let alone winning the nomination, he will do more damage to the republican party in the senate, becoming a national poster, sort of becoming than it would be to have a democrat hold that seat. they can live to fight another day. there are other opportunities for the republicans to pick off some democratic incumbents in 2018. look, it helps the democrats, it hurts tax reform for the republicans. it's certainly not helpful. but you can make a case that roy moore in the senate then suddenly puts -- if you think suburban voters repelled the republican party this election, make it roy moore

be something that would sort of solidify what we saw in suburban, in suburban virginia and all over suburban america. >> that election december 12th. let's move on to another topic. nbc news breaking that story on the special counsel investigation and michael flynn. bring us up to date on that. >> well, look, what they're investigating with michael flynn is this potential quid pro quo and, boy, this story first came out a few months ago when former cia director woolsey walked out of the meeting, they talked about almost kidnapping -- basically it's a political rival of the president of turkey, erdogan. this person has been sort of in asylum here in the united states in pennsylvania and he wanted him extradited to turkey, the united states has not officially -- not agreed to do that. so there was this concocting, sounds like a bad cohen

kidnap him, sneak him somewhere and all this. look, the big picture here is, so, mike flynn is very vulnerable obviously in this issue. now, it doesn't have to do with the russia collusion directly, but again, it as we've talked about, what the special prosecutor is doing is trying to get more cooperation on the initial investigation. mike flynn is potentially a key witness here. we reported last week that they had enough already to indict both mike flynn and his son. it's on this issue, this turkey issue. there hasn't been an indictment yet. perhaps they are negotiating. perhaps -- if you don't see an indictment, it probably means mike flynn is singing. oddly enough, if you're the president of the united states, you're hoping you see the indictment come because if you don't see it, he's cutting a deal. >> doesn't know what's happening. all right. >> the president has been in asia all week. >> uh-huh. >> is he coming back from

has he accomplished anything? >> he's coming back to a mess in his own party because of roy moore. i'll say this about the asia visit overall. he didn't step on any major diplomatic land mines. the north korea issue didn't sort of become an unpredictable problem, you know, either rhetorical, it's not over yet, but no rhetorical saber rattling or actual saber rattling. there wasn't a real deliverable. i would give one little warning here potentially for the president and the politics how he handles china. he was pretty cozy with the president of china. he wanted to talk tough on china on the campaign trail. that's popular to talk tough on china both on the right and the left these days. now, he's not the first president to suddenly sound like a pussy cat about the chinese. i swear outgoing presidents tell incoming presidents, all that china rhetoric, don't do it once you get there. ut

china. that's going to turn off some of that base that believes that china has been a trade manipulator and china is behind some of our manufacturing struglings stru struggles in this country. >> congratulations on the big bash last night. >> that was the guy in the chair. we got to celebrate and have a party. >> who do you have coming up sunday? >> we're going to talk with the president's chief negotiation lee an son, pat toomey. "closing bell" klobuchar, they passed a bill on sexual harassment training. >> very timely. >> look, this is bigger than politics what is going on in this country. >> sure is. thank you so much. >> we'll see you sunday morning, 10:30. "meet the press" 10:30 sunday morning. we'll see you then. jim? >> that message in your inbox may not be legit. what you need to know about a scam that's disguised as a message fromfl

we know it's going to be cold this weekend overnight, it's going to get really cold. doug and amelia, common sense has prevailed and they're both

preparations at home, unhooked the hoses and stuff like that. is this the kind of cold i need to open up the cupboards of my pipes so they don't freeze? >> any time we get to 28 degrees. it's when you get to the hard freeze and most of us will be below that threshold tonight. if you have an area that's exposed to the outdoors, yeah, you want to open those cabinets up and maybe leave the water running just a little bit at least so it's dripping so water is moving and yes, as you mention, do those unhook those hoses. you mentioned that the other day. i've still forgotten to do t. it's going to be that cold. this is almost record break being. >> yeah, and our growing season is going to come to an end so any plants you have outdoors you typically bring in, you want to do that as well. and i don't have to unhook my hose. i don't have -- >> you don't have a hose. >> i don't have to put that on -- >> we went and did rock, paper scissors earlier, best out of three and we tied. get th

still we have that wind. 38 is cold enough, when you add in the wind you get the with wind chill. 32 in martinsburg, 34 in manassas, 35 in honeytown. when you add in the wind gusting 10, 20 miles per hour, it is below freezing in the city. in the city you're going to be walking through the city, that little gust coming through the buildings makes it even colder there, too. make sure you bundle up. here is your wind chilled forecast tonight at 11:00 if you're going to be out and about. 18 gaithersburg, 19 manassas, waking up to wind chills in the teens every everywhere. it really will be a cold start to your saturday. and a cold day in general. if you have some weekend plans, a lot of stuff going on this weekend with the cold, amelia is here with that. >> we're going to start off were exercise tomorrow morning. the coldest time as doug was saying. make sure you have layers if the kids are outdoor sports. me have ma i can in sure they have the gloves, the hat, everything you need it. it will be

temperatures. we have maryland, navy, the warm coats, the gloves, the sunshine will be out. you want the sunglasses as well. as we look to brunch on sunday it is a little bit warmer but you'll still be eating indoors. it is too soon in my opinion but there are christmas tree lightings going on. silver spring on saturday, national harbor on sunday. take a look. 6:00 p.m., 34 degrees on your saturday evening. sunday evening not as chilly with a little bit more cloud cover around, around 44 at that point, we also have football which assuming very much like november football weather out there as the redskins take on the vikings during the afternoon on your sunday. we'll start off with sunshine, clouds throughout the game. it will be dry. it's not that bad if you have the warm coat. 45 degrees by noon. temperatures will be 50, as you're leaving fedex field temperatures will be back in the 40s. the cold start, we don't warm up during the afternoon hours. >> we're really not going to. cold start for sure. very frigid start to the

and then as we move on through the afternoon, even with sunshine, we're still only getting to 42 degrees. a very cold afternoon as well. so, as you move on through the next couple of days, we'll have temperatures that will moderate somewhat, back to 51 on sunday, 55 degrees on monday, slight chance of an afternoon shower on tuesday. high of 56 degrees tuesday. as we move towards next week, we're talking mid 50s to at least we moderate somewhat as we move on through. next time we go outside, i think it might be on monday, rock paper scissors with me real quick. >> okay. >> yes! yes! >> oh, my gosh, i can't believe it. fine, i'll go outside. i'm not giving you my mittens again, though. [ laughter ] >> what's happened to schipholery, amelia? >> good question, doreen, good question. >> we'll check back with them later. a comedian breaks his silence on a matter that no one is laughing about.

of misconduct and the fallout that is impacting hollywood. >> here we are now two days after the election and there are still three races here in the commonwealth of virginia that are too close to call. one of them right here in stafford county. i'm david culver. just ahead why one of the candidates thinks there is something fishy going on with the votes. >> and what would you do with a billion dollars? well, one man has made it his life's mission to make a difference, leaving a lasting legacy in washington. now he wants others to learn from his

>> announcer: you're watching news4 at 6:00. >> election day was three days ago, and some campaign headquarters are still staffed with volunteers. >> including the race for delegate in stafford county. it's there that republican bob thomas is leading democrat joshua cole by just 84 votes. news4's david culver headed to fredericksburg to look into claims that some voters' voices are being silenced. >> reporter: it's a small spot on the map. virginia's 28th house district. it could have a big impact on the commonwealth house of power. 49 democrats, 51 republicans, three races still too close to call. just one turning blue would

democrat joshua cole believed his race could be that one. if, he says, the stafford county registrar agrees to count certain ballots. >> we don't know who those votes are for. but the fact of the that thor that citizens voices are being muffled and we shouldn't have that. >> reporter: let's simplify things. this is the problem that some democrats see it here in stafford county. you have three separate piles here, right? represented by the leads. this one 55 military absentee ballots. then you have 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 whole here, the party, they're not focussed 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. >> if they were legally there on time, then i would want them to be counted just like everybody would. >> republican bob thos

didn't immediately return my e-mail request for an interview, is abiding by the rules. and what's more -- >> the people that will ultimately make that decision are the electoral board. not just the registrar. he works for them. those flee people will ultimately have the decision to finalize. i trust their judgment. >> reporter: eyeing a potential recount cole is prepared for the outcome. >> they understand this district is not as red as me thought. >> reporter: david culver, news4. >> we'll be updating the election results in our nbc washington app as the final counts are certified. we are keeping close tabs on the three virginia delegate races that are in question this week and any recounts that may come. just search election results. and there are developments in two high-profile cases alleging sex crimes or misconduct. >> the first concerns the criminal allegations against the former doctor for the olympic gymnastics team. another high-profile member of that team has come forward

her name is alie. she joins her former nieteammatf accusing him of sexual abuse. she told 60 minutes she is going public because she wants to change the culture at gymnastics and spare other girls what she went through. he is accused of assaulting more than 100 former patients. >> and tonight the comedian louis c.k. is admitting he took part in the lewd behavior that has suddenly derailed his career. the "the new york times" reported the accusations from five women yesterday. a movie premiere set for tonight was immediately called off and several projects featuring the comedian have now been canceled. he issued a lengthy apology today saying he understands now that his professional standing gave him power over the women who accused him of misconduct. he also apologized to the people who work on the shows that have been canceled and to his fy.

recovery progress is slow. for every step forward, there seems to be a step back. just yesterday a transmission line failure left thousands in puerto rico without power after it had just been restored to some regions. hospitals and health centers are seriously feeling the impact. last month we visited a dialysis clinic in puerto rico which treats at least half of the patients on the island powered by a generator that doctors told us they had been forced to ration kidney dialysis. the american kidney fund which has been supporting dialysis patients in puerto rico just received a $100,000 grant to continue. >> running a marathon is a strenuous, but rewarding accomplishment for anybody. but consider running 31, and doing it in 31 days. >> cannot imagine it. but that's exactly what a retired marine sergeant plans to accomplish tomorrow. and that may not even be the most impressive part. >> news4's kristin wright tel

incredible mission. >> reporter: marine corps sergeant rob jones's motto is survive, recover, live. and that's exactly what he's doing. he's a marine on a mission. jones is running 31 marathons in 31 days, and nothing -- nothing -- will stop him from finishing this weekend. jones set off on his 30th race in baltimore, and now the retired marine from vienna will run his 31st and final marathon on veteran's day in washington. jones stepped on an i.e.d. in afghanistan. it changed everything. but he stayed marine strong and got even stronger at walter reed, winning a bronze middal -- medal in the paralympics. and soon 31 marathons in 31 days. by running, sergeant jones is raising money for wounded veteran charities and raising

their country and their country needs them, too. sergeant jones is inviting anyone to run with him. he's starting at 7:00 a.m. at the lincoln memorial. in the newsroom, kristin wright, news4. >> it looks like a normal e-mail, but that netflix in your inbox may not be the real deal. >> don't click on anything, folks. nbc's tom costello is on the other side of the break with a consumer alert you need to see. >> and we've got deep cold all across the mid-atlantic, the great lakes, the northeast. it's here, but for how long? my

becoming victims, too. >> well, the bottom line is don't click. we have said this over and over and over again for years, right? if you get one of these e-mails regardless whether it's netflix or your bank or whatever, don't open it if it looks suspicious. examine if you're in the e-mail and you think it doesn't look right, don't click on the link. here's the problem with the netflix e-mail scam. this went out to about 110 million people 8 or at least that's how many people netflix has worldwide. this is a global company, anyway. and it essentially puts up this very legitimate looking e-mail that says you have been temporarily suspended, your service anyway, until you click on the link and provide your updated information. and then of course they want your credit card information, your bank account information, whatever. well, the trouble is some people have actually clicked on it and done exactly that. we interviewed a woman today in kansas who clicked on the link and gave them her debit card, examine guess what? they cleaned her out of 2000 bucks, and then theyi

up for another 45 credit cards, yeah. and this all happened like that. so, this is yet another example of just don't click on these things. it usually is not something you want to be involved in, and it can be very serious in terms of how much it costs you. >> all right. well, tom has more coming up on nbc nightly news with lester holt in just a few minutes. thanks for joining us, tom costello. >> thank you, tom. >> you bet. >> well, here we go, folks, our first dose of cold air of the season, a serious shock to the system tonight. and for the first part of your weekend, too, doug is coming right back for an update. >> and on the record with the billionaire who has given so much of his time and money to preserving our city for years to come, what he says about his success, his sense of humor and the debate ove r
