good morning, everyone. we're in a storm team 4 alert and the reason for that is the storm that we encountered yesterday, it looks like we have another round of storms moving through the area. the time frame as of now is between 4:00 and 10:00 p.m. as we go outside, temperatures, we already have this set up. that is warm, humid air. we're now in a definite warm, humid air mass across our region.

with that, we want to give you some pointers what to do when youre outside and sto happen. try to get indoors. seek shelter as quickly as possible. once inside, go to the lowest vel that youan and stay away from windows. as you see from the damage, the winds will come right thugh the windows. no doubt about that. temperatures as i said across the board, mid'60s, low '70s, visibility s.concern we had storms yesterday, manassas one third of a mile visibility. fauquier county showing areas where dense fog, visibility culpepper county, less than a quarter of a mile. these are the areas, target areas where we have some storms that will move from the west to the east because they have the moisture in the atosphere, more moist than some of the other areas around. so we'll keep an eye on that throughout the day today. as i said, storms will move across the area between 4:00 and 10:00 p.m. today. so keep an eye on t sky, we'll give you all the updates, ten-day forecast and more

informationin just a few moments. back to you. >> thank you, clay. reporter's notebook is up next. we'll be back in 15 mites with more of the morning's top stories. >> good morning. i'm pat lawson muse. metro's massive suer shutdown is officially under way. and it could mean a long summer for real passengers. all sftions south o reagan national airport have been shut down for the rest of the summer to allow for some very critical work. transportation reporter adam tuss and prince george's county bureau chief tracee wilkins are with us this morning. we have been talking about thisn and talk and talking, now it is show time. we're nott talking abou repairing platfms. you're talking about replacing. .> ye and we actually asked this question at a news conference the other day, thi're talk the platforms and structures down to the rebar, putting it back in, completely rehabbing biggest ially the concern is braddock road where if you go out there for any amount of time, you can e the humps andumps all over the

platforms. this is the story of metro, right? it is the transit system we didn't maintain, we just forgotn about and we're going back andi fng everything that for so long was kind of forgotten. so, yeah, thtse sixations south of the airport are closed the rest of the when the stations open back up with rail service, it is supposed to be september 9th, we were told there till be some work going on, you'll still see construction activity out there, still see possibly some. single-tracki this is a massive effort. i got news. this isn't the only place this is going to happen.r thee are outdoor platforms on the green and the orange line and the red line, they're all getting the same kind of treatment in the following years. this y full on platform il rehabation campaign that metro is kicking off and it starts south of the airport and it will be disruptive. >> this phase willot be done september 9th? b

>> what wille done is the heavy lifting, let's say. i hink what you can say won'tt be done is he punch list items. let's say you're renovating your house, putting the light fix churz a fixtures inthe end, that's some of the stuff they will get to in september. there could be activity out there that you need to be aware of. >> why metro couldn't stagger some of the work? s construction t ontract out for bid and found that contractor who said they can get in there andreat each of these platform projects like their own separate individual project. and so metroikclearly what they heard, they were willing to shut -- if you shut some stations down, might as well shut them all down and they believe their contractor can get in there and knock them all out. >> what about the work around?y. >> ok so the best thing, if you want to justreally not think about it is shuttle buses. and one of thebest things they

have here during the shutdown is they have express buses that are running. so, for instance, francona aspir springfield, a shuttle bus goes straight to the pentagon. you don't have to go through all her stations. you can do theraditional in between stations with shuttle buses and what not. that's going to be your best bet. new car pool lines, new slug ines created because this. if you never thought abou slugging, go and you can sically drive in a parking et in ick up two people, your car, get to use the hov system for free. everybody wins. you drive downtown. there is waterer boats, wat taxis being expanded because of this. shoran that, the peonnel management told federal mployees if they can do schetdules they should look at that as well. >> all right. >> yes. >> tracin, in pr george's county, correction officials are saying it wasn't their fault. that'heir response to a bombshell accusation by federal

immigration agents who blamed the department for releasing two teens now charged with killing a 14-year-old girl. this story packs a double punch. first, you have the brutal murder of a girl. and then to discover that these two suspects had been detained e ago on attempted murder chargesd were released. a detainer was issd by ice, but it wasn't a warrant. is this where the problem is? >> that was the t problem forhe prince george's county jail. so their basic note for this case is we are following what our attorney general in maryland id we need to do. in a letter, in a note, upheld time and time again, we do not hold prisoners who have been released by judges because ice wants us to. they have tor have a nt. there is a violation of the fourth amendment rights for us to keep the in custody if they have not had due process, if they have gone through the ce

pro. and this is what happened with these kids. they were both arrested, charged with attempted murder, a number of other charges, one was in the juvenile system, the other in the adult system, but placed in a juvenile placement because of his age. hand they went throug the process. they wnt through the -- they pled downlesser charges, had time served and th were released. and what ice is saying is that we asked the jail to hold on to one of these kids until we get to them. and the jail said we ca't do that. o.at's not what we if we don't have a warrant. thy have to have due process, you have to get a warrant, yoha to go it a judge and get this warran show it to us and weill hold the prisoner for as long as you want us o. that is the back and forth. this is what we're seeing all over the country. there are alot of problems with ice not being able to get to some of the folks as soon as they would like to.on e of the other points, ice had these kids in custody at one point. they knew they were illegally in the country. and they released them.

and when they released them, in some thgs happened after that, if becameembers of ms-13 they weren't already and their point was, if ice didn't hold on to them when they had n opportunity to, why would they expect us to do it without the proper warrants to do so. so, yeah, the press release tpuy out made it seem like this is a jail that didn't do what it was supposed toec do and bse of this, the 14-year-old girl was killed. >> they had an opportunity. >> they had an opportunity to he hold on to t and then allow ice to come and get them and the jail is saying that's not the way the justice system works and you have to have a warrant. >> right. so the now back in custody. what happens next? >> they're back in custody. we asked the question, if they were, for some reason, released now, would you notify ice and the jail said, yeah, of course, we would let them know, they have a period of time to come he and pick t kids up, but we areti not expec these kids to ever see the light of peday, ding what happens at their rial, they're being charged as adults, held without bond, this is a

serious murder with video evidence. o what we are expecting to happen is a strong conviction in this caeee. we'll s what happens. there were things weould have liked to have heard from ice when we reported on this story to make somend corrections a also explain some things, but that didn't happen. > it is disturbing all the way around. >> yeah. >> we got to take a break. 'll be right back.

virginia plan to includes three mile section of two express lanes in each direction. everybody wants releaf from n, congestio adam, and there's more. paths for cyclists and pedestriansn >> this plais a continuation of what is already out there on the virginia side of t

beltway. it is almost like why didn'tdo they this when they first put in the express lane, that kind f end right at the dulles toll road. this will take it to the legion bridge. there will somebody pedestrian imngovements and c improvements because that -- thhie kind of tngs go hand and h d with transportatio projects now. you almost have to include those things. but what thish does is tis really puts pressure, th is going to happen in virginia. what this do is it really puts pressure on maryland. the entire american legion bridge is under maryland's control. iirginia has no say what happens to that bridge. maryland creates this express lane network on their side of the beltway and want to run it up 27l as wel and the bw parkway, they now are going to be pkind ofushed by virginia to say, hey, look, the lanes end right at your bridge. what are you going to do about ? and governor hogan has been saying r a long time he wants to push this through. rub on the maryland side of things is how do you potentially widen that road, which w

carefully crafted to go around certain places, and not take homes, businesse residences, that's a knockdown,dragout fight. i believe we'll get to the point where governor hogan gets thct proje far enough along where it is going to happe it is going to get real interest ng to the level remember the icc, people were chaining themselves to trees and houses and those kinds of things, i think w in for that kind of scenario once thpr ject moves forward. >> prince jrnlgugeorge's conty, people are concerned about that is going to happen and tpr operty question is an issue. and we have federal legislators saying this is something not going to happen, we're going to, you htknow, fig against this happening in maryland. hogan is having a difficult time getting as much support as he would like. >> one of the big questions will this help ease the congestion? >> look, whether or not you t believe inhe express lane, the do offer another choice. because a lot of these facilities, in addition to the new lanes that are being built,

you still have the existing lanes. if you want to stay in the regular lanes you always were allowed to drive in, they're going to be there. if you want to pay to get around the traffic, which is 100% virginia's bet, you can. but also remember, all of this, if you start a car pool, you get to u them for free and get to use them at rush hour for free. this really incentivizes that idea. >> want to change gears here. talk about a story that took a lot of us by surprise. rachel edmonds name hasn't been brought up in decades. there is ay possibilithat the -- one of the major inngpins, drug kingpins in the country, serv a life sentence, could possibly see the light of day. where do we stand with that e? cas >> well, you know, so he was -- he appeared by video conference in court. andy basicallhat d.c. prosecutors are saying is that this say man who deserves to have his sentence cut short because of how much cooperation he's done with police.

and on some of the 30 years he ds been in prison. and he's reallye a lot of work to teach investigators about the drug trade, how it works, to help get a lot of people arrested and behind bars. he's now in protective custody l in the system. we don't know exactly where he is right now because of all ofrk the wohe's done to lead to a number ofarrests. and soh wen you have prosecutors yying this is somebod who we believe should have their sentence reduced, for people who live in the washington region, for people who grew up here like i did, when that epidemic hit, d.c. and surrounding suburbs, it takes y back to a really painful time in our region, a timehat some people are dealing with because of the children impacted, parents, children who were born addicted to crack, families who had issues, the lovedil ones kled and people who died. it is very difficult. and that's why he was given a life sentence. >> so he's not getting out anytime soon, but he will be

back in d.c.? >> yeah, we are expecting him back in heoctober. supposed to appear in person, per the judge's order, to -- before that hearing. ceis is something a lot of people are coned about. it brings up a lot of bad memories. but the argumenand prosecutors, this is not them saguy we locked up 30 years ago. he has changed, times have changed. we think the sentence should change. >> we're all going to be watching this. pretty interesting story. back to metro. a door opened last week on a metro train, on a 3,000 series train, all taken out of service, this happened as the car was pulling out of the dunn lohring ation. >> metro, here is -- here's the positive. let's look at the positive se of this, right? forloo we're always, you know, crushing metro for what they have done thwrong, what aren't done right. in the past, metro probably nd ldn't have done anything would have just inspected their railrs and put them back out there without really saying anything. they were under noon obliga

this was brought to their attention through a social media post. and thetr old me might have inied to swe that under the rug and say we ected the railcars. is general manager to his credit took all o those railcars off the tracks ia immedly, not even knowing there was issue, just over precautious measure. it was a social dia post. they went and inspected all e 3,000 series railcars of which there are about 285. they took 15% of their fleet out of service for a day. thatimpacts people. he did that as a proactive measure. they identified the problem within a day. it had to do with a master contrler in the rabin of the car, an electrical component that wasn't working. they worked around, found a fix, put themack in service the next day. i will say to you, that is smefr suppo never supposed to happen. and the train operator seuld hav known that was open and did not know becasse there w an electrical malfunction and i

will say it is time for peop to start giving them some credit for what they're doing right. and taking those railcars off the track immediately, remember, this jenning manager shut the entire stem down for the entire y when they found the faulty cables. so say what you want and i'm by no means a metro apologist, but that was the right move to do and they got them back on the tracks. >> giving credit where credit is due. >> i think we have to get to that point with metro. evmyone wants to slam the all the time, but it does no good if we're constantly -- we want our transit system to work, right?es do no good if we're constantly bashing it for the things that go wrong. let's look to see how we can fix it. >> adam tuss and tracee wilkins, thank you. thank you, that's reporter's notebook. i'm pat lawson muse.

focus on health care, infrastructure, things like that. there is a base divide in the democrats between those who won and more urban districts who i think are a little more galvanized against the president own & those w and those who won swing districts. when the iraq w vote took place, it was in an election year, it was in the fall of 2002 and democrats were worried about being portrayed as weak on terrorism, weak on national security, so there was a lot of pressure on some these democrats to vote for the iraq war resolution. the politics called for it. the politics five ylaars ter, it turned out to be aisastrous vote. that's themm dile democrats are having. right now doesn't look like a goodidea. what is it going to look ke in five years. if they're thinking in political terms, forgethi orical,

political terms, ask themselves arhey worried about the now. ncn't forget what is the unintended consee of your vote, whatever you do? the ira war vote to me is a reminder toat democrs, hey, what you thought was politically smart in the moment turned out to be politically disastrous down the road. >> we still see members of the administration who aren't so ing up for hearings and on and so forth. president is in japan. you had to interview sarah nders earlier today. she's all the way over there. this is an important trip for him given all that is going on with china too. >> this trip not really, he's -e this is mo of a state visit, looks li m a bite recreational than anything. >> sumo wrestling. >> sumo wrestling and stuff, there to prese the first ever award on something. he's there for the -- look, emperor's abdicating, still people forget there is a japanese royal family, he's ove ther that ceremony. but they did get rattled over there, the japanese by the id

prt's tweets, disregarding the north korean missile test. that was among the topics, the conversation i had with sarah sanders earlier this morning. i'll y this, essentially they're comfortable, the president is comfortable taking kimjong-un's word over pretty much anybody else now, even embers of his own administration and certainly praised kim jong-unor the biden attack, which is also something that sarah sanders wac fortable with. >> interesting. >> real quick, a few seconds left, the president gave attorney general william barr new power to investigate the investigators, righ what is the significance of this move? >> tt significance is the fac that they're bypassing the intelligence community. this order says that bill barr should consult with the agency head, doesn't say he has to. it is taking away the decision about what natial security secrets go public or not, away from the intelligence community,

putting it in his ands. look, the largt question tha i had for sarah sanders and the back and forth we had, had to d with the president already determining the outcome? he's already said he expects treason has been committed, he expects -- ih said if bill barr comes backerith exonation going to, no, there is be wrongdoing, he already played judge and jury, wich at this point i think discredits the entire investigation. >> another wrinkle in the whole thing for sure. sarah sanders on the show. who else? >> rashida talib. a sponsor of the resolution. >> all right. reminder you can see "meet the press," mes up every nday, a little earlier today, on at 10:00 a.m. because of the indianapolis. >> i got my milk, manwe >> we re talking about the milk. >> chug the milk. >> what is better than whole milk after you've been racing
