if you are just joining us at 4:44, let's get you caught up with four things to know. right now a storm team 4 weather alert because of the powerful winds outside.

>> the gusts so strong they knocked over a brick wall in springfield. and in southeast d.c. a tree came down on a home on high view terrace. no one was hurt. right now dominion power is reporting 3,000 outages in virginia. doug and amelia join us with the forecast in about two minutes. sources tell us a mother driving a car involved in a cash was drunk. tracee wilkins reports she allegedly had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. six people including two of taylor's children died in that crash. we are watching a courthouse in chicago where singer r. kelly could soon post bail in his sex abuse case. this morning he pleaded not es guilty to chagainst him. the judge allowed a bond of $100,0 $100,000

$100 >> it is a packed news week here in washington. president trump is on his way t vietnam right now for his second nuclear summitea with north kor leader kim jong-un. as that summit is under way, his former fixer, michael cohen is going to be testifying in pubc on capitol hill. joining us to talk politics and the week ahead is nbc senior political editor,ark murray. >> wednesday's meeting between the president and kim jong-un oa north koeing closely watched by u.s. intelligence leaders. tell us, what is at stake here?e >> t a lot at stake but we want to see how far north korea is going on its denuclearization promises. when president trump in a meeting with kim jong-un backn june of last year, there was this talkha and promise t north korea is on the path to denuclearization. but all of the reporting, including nbc's, shows that north korea's program continues on i nuclearprogram. and that they have not stopped. what they have stoppede are s

testing, as well as all of that saber rattling between the united states and north korea ha ended. so the leaders are on better footing, but northorea continues to be nuclear power and continues to be ail desting force in asia and in the pacific. and the question is, does the united states get anything for it? do we end upeeing it denuclearize, and what kind of concessions does the united states make for this relationship,f at al >> mark, a woman who worked on the trump floridam campaign t is suing the president and his campaign claiming that then candidate forcibly kissed her. what else k iswn about these lawsuits? >> what happens is we've gotten st fements not onlym the white house but also from trump campaign aides and people who were cround thepaign who flatly deny the allegations. say that they were around alva johnson and say theyss wit no such misbehavior.

of course, this backs up what we hardware at the taile end of 2016 election when huh multiple women accusing then candidate trump of misconduct and you had the infamous ""access hollywood" video that came out as well. another allegation hitting the president, an allegation that people around hny it's the morning after we have to toss you an oscars related question. the president accused film director spike lee a of racist hit after lee's oscar speh in which he included a call to mobilize in anticipation of the 2020 elections. >> this is the first time i've been covering politics that spike lee and politics have come up in my reporting. this is the first, leon.e thers a really tough tweet that the president ended up having on spike lee after spike lee tked about good versus evil and voting in 2020. you could maybeuggestt was a little bit of a criticism at

president trump but it wasn't omrect. andg from spike lee it was pretty tame. but the president tooko itter and really hit him hard, accusing him of not being able to readm a script andin ha back to those teleprompter jokes and comments that republicans had about barack obama. just another instance of trump not only whacking an opponent but also whacking an opponent who happens to african-american as well. u, thank mark murray. and we'll look for more on these topics on nbc "nightly news" with savannah guthrie this evening at7:00. let's talk about the weather and wind out there. it's reallyy. cr >> spring is coming in like a lion. >> it is. spring starts march 1st, you think hey, that's when we start to get some warmer weather. that's not what's in the cards here as we start the first week of march. let's look at where we were today. the wind was the factor today. look at the peakd gusts, 44 in d.c.
