55 degrees. our humidity lower than it was yesterday. that's a good thing. 72%. winds out of the northwest at 14 miles per hour and your barometric pressure is on the rise. now the winds are 14 miles per hour but gusting up to 24 miles per hour. so a bit breezy out there and that will be a feature during the course of the day today. the winds out of the north, northwest and again gusting up to 24 miles per hour in the district. believe it or not there is a freeze watch in the effect for the west. the potomac highlands, portions of western maryland, the counties shaded in. your temperatures could be below freezing and in some instances well below freezing tonight and into tomorrow morning, so that's when the freeze watch is in effect. five-day forecast, high today about 64 degrees unless allison has her way it will be 48. then for tomorrow, 65 and sunshine. here are the warmer temperatures, thursday 70. friday 77. saturday 85 degrees. are you ready for that?

crunch this morning out of laurel down toward 212. stalled car in the second lane from the right. back inside and update elsewhere, for those out of germantown it's heavy, slow and steady leaving father hurley past mva, more delays at 370 and montrose toward the split. outer loop slowing 95 to another. northbound new hampshire as you approach north 29 and we have accident activity at tenly and blocked off in each direction. slowing at 236, caring up toward 66. outer loop at 66, authorities checking for a crash at that location. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. arizona's new immigration law has ignited accusations of racism, causing a backlash across the united states. now civil rights leaders are calling on the president to stop this law before it ever takes effect. the executive director of

tenants and workers united john list joins us with community reaction from our area on this law coming out of arizona. john, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk about that. what has been the reaction after hearing what the governor in arizona said. >> people are both terrorized and outrage. people are fearing this will roll east and our governor is having conversations about how to do something like this in virginia. >> the law that takes full effect in aug would mean that people could be asked, regardless of what they are doing, their status or to show papers they are legally in the united states. have i got the bullet points right? >> that's the basic -- and the responsibility of the police to enforce that and it leaves subjective things in the hands of the police. how do you decide who looks like an undocumented immigrant and who doesn't. doesn't. >> and that is based on how

someone looks. >> it is the discretion of the officer. >> and you talked about it rolling east and we are in arizona. it seems far away, but if you are watching these events, it might be closer than you think. tell us the fear of this happening here. is that real? >> we can look at three places where pieces of this have happened here in northern virginia. culpeper, prince george's and lindon. there has been an anti- immigrant hysteria and its had a devastating effect in terms of being welcoming to immigrants and had economic consequences. prince george and herndon had empty houses. >> and it was said crime is down here and this has been

better for our county. do you feel there is credence in that remark. >> i think they're missing 20,000 people and missing probably 2,000 businesses and i think their tax revenue is down and they've been cutting budget stuff, for them to say their quality of life has improved -- i think the facts speak otherwise. >> the people who are -- who say you're in this country, gain citizenship or don't be here, be here legally, how tough is it to make that jump when you come to the united states? educate those of us that don't know that? >> it's virtually impossible unless you come here during an existing program. if you came here undocumented its virtually impossible outside of marriage. the fees have increased to $75 and the tests have been made more difficult so many of us who were born here might have difficulty passing the test. >> what would the community like to see change with that? the president said if you have this patch work of laws across

the country, that's a dangerous precedent to set and he's looking to do immigration reform. the former president failed but how tough and how important it would be to be a united front as far as immigration. >> the president can stop the deportation. it's hard to have a conversation or legislation when people and families are being torn apart and sent back home to different countries. there needs to be a stopping of the fears and attacks and then a dialogue can begin for legislation. and that's within the power of the president to stop the deportation. secondly we've be pushing for comprehensive immigration reform for years. and the folks who say it's a federal problem are often the times that block the passage of such laws. >> so now we've seen mass protests in response to this. do you believe that grassroots movement would possibly trickle up in this case to the white

house or to the state government? >> i think so. i think this weekend, yesterday we welcomed tenants and workers united, we documented four workers from miami who walked here to push for a dream act for a path to citizenship. this does there will be a march to the white house saying we are all effectively arizona and calling on president obama to act and calling on congress to act. >> john list, thanks for being with us to sort out this very national problem. more fallout coming up from the leaked iphone investigation. remember that? it ends up on a website after a prototype is left in the bar. and now a reporter is talking about a raid on his home. and speaking of phone investigation, there is an

washington capitals going to need a game 7 to reach the next round of the playoffs. the capitals lost in montreal last night to the canadiens. the last two goals coming at the end of the game. the good news is they can clinch at home tomorrow at the verizon center. if you watched the game last night, the caps outplayed montreal in every aspect of the game except for one.

montreal had some of the best goal keeping i have ever seen in a game. >> caps are in trouble. because if they lose tomorrow, they are done. >> yeah. but they are playing on home ice which didn't work out well friday, but we're hoping for the best. >> i'm going to rally. people will be really hyped up. >> and they had 58 shots on goal last night. they'll get it done tomorrow night. listen, we have improving conditions across the region. it is turning into a nice morning and a decent day today. will be the warmest -- won't be the warmest day of the week. let's start with the current temperatures around the region. we'll be in the 50s here in washington, d.c. we remain at 55 degrees. 53 in quantico. 48, dropping off, 48 in gaithersburg right now. 54 in baltimore. manassas is at 52 degrees. winchester is at 53 degrees. let's take a look at local satellite radar composite. look at the clouds. they are breaking out. we have cloud cover to the east

and some down to the south but from washington to points west skies are clearing. we've altered the forecast, and we thought the clouds would linger longer, but they are pushing out and taking the moisture with them as well. here is what will develop during the day today. the moisture will move out because the area of low pressure will move out and taking the showers with it. left behind that is sunshine. we'll see an ample amount of sunshine today. it will be a bit breezy. we've seen our winds blowing at about 13-14 miles per hour, gusting up to about 24 mile-per- hour in washington and that will help to keep the temperatures down a little bit as well. so the forecast for today looks like this -- partly sunny, breezy, 64 for the high. then for tonight it will cool off. partly cloudy to mostly clear skies but the clear skies cause the temperatures to drop, 41 for the low in town. we'll see plenty of lows in the

30s tonight. far out to the west, there is a freeze watch in effect for portions of western maryland because they could drop down to freezing. tomorrow sunshine and 65. that's below normal. thursday 70 degrees, near normal with sunshine. and then temperatures shoot up as we get toward the end of the week and into the weekend. upper 70s on friday, mid-80s on saturday. that's a look at what is happening with the weather. now let's get to julie wright for an update on traffic. julie. >> do you still have your rocking the red towel. >> i sure do. >> you're going to need it for tomorrow. we're wearing red tomorrow so we can rock the red tomorrow night at the v. >> i have to figure out what to wear tomorrow. >> just don't call me cool aid, okay. here we are. making the trip southbound along 270 out of germantown accident tieing up two left lanes at this point as you head south of 118. accident activity there has everybody squeezing single file to the right which means you're in the jam headed southbound from before father hurley

closer to 121 at this point headed southbound. 355 working for you as an alternate. 118 toward great seneca a viable option. so we've given you a couple of work arounds to avoid the mess. southbound 270 jammed up, clarksburg south of 118. let me take you downtown. d.c. route 295, kenilworth, heavy, slow and steady toward boroughs. got an accident tieing up the left side of the road. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. top executives at goldman sachs scheduled to appear on capitol hill today. a new internal e-mail could make them less convincing. washington post business editor frank aarons joins us. frank, you said in your blog, you'll be blogging the living daylights out of this. you are looking forward to this. >> how geeky and worthy does that sound? >> what are you looking forward

to. >> you have the head of the biggest and baddest firm on wall street, lloyd blankfein. and then next to him will be fab reese foray and who put together the deal that the s.e.c. charging is fraud. and he hasn't appeared in public. all we've seen is the e-mails that goldman released over the weekend when he was writing his girl friend back in 2007 explaining how finance and tender affections to his girlfriend. >> he said in one of those, he likened it to the frankenstein monster turning on himself. is this remorse on his part? >> in some he seems to be working out a crisis, saying, well, i know my job is simply to make the capital markets more efficient, but i'm able to justify anything. so he seems like he's really having -- there was a lot of internal angst at goldman coming out of the e-mails and the investigation where bankers were selling some of the things

that they weren't sure were the best things to sell for all of the clients involved. >> so this will be a showdown between the goldman ceo and senator carl levin. who gets the upper hand and who has wiggle room. >> today it's all levin and the season at committee on home turf. levin is producing reams of documents saying this proves my case that goldman defrauded investors. lloyd blankfein's strategy will be to strike a conciliatory note which he's saying, i was part of the problem, we leveraged too much but now we'll lead the reform out. and today's probe is for the season at. >> frank, no disrespect to the financial world out there, why do i care? what does this mean to the taxpayer? >> goldman is a prime example of what we call retail presence. meaning no interface with you

and me, like jp morgan chase and citibank that do investment banking and also has a bank on the corner. so goldman is even farther removed from us. but it does have imact because capitol hill is right now weighing financial reform that would change the way the banks do business and could impact them in negative ways that could get passed down to us. >> and that leads into the big question of does it make a difference today, whether it's what goldman says or congress says you did wrong, will it make a change here in washington or on wall street? >> one thing about goldman, they have such a long-term sort of line of wall street reputation, that going forward, unless a lot of terrible damaging things come out of here, two years from now if you are two companies that want to merge, you're probably going to goldman for your financing because they have the reputation. but the regulatory reform on

wall street could have some real teeth to it and this is a very politically charged moment. goldman is example a for people on capitol hill and that's what the s.e.c. is trying to show, that we will go after big lions and little pip squeaks if we can catch criminals. >> goldman is very intertwined in washington politics. does that make a difference. >> frank paulson was the ceo of goldman and there are a number of alums here in washington. yes, there is absolutely -- there is a great deal of intersection between the two worlds. >> and you mentioned goldman being example a. it's no secret they were not the only institution doing this behavior. can they say don't just look at us, and does that work in their defense or does the government look at everybody in regard to the future relations? >> i think goldman feels like they are spoiling for a fight

in this case, going long-term. lloyd blankfein will be conciliatory today. they feel they have a strong case against the s.e.c. the s.e.c. voted split to bring this case. they believe s.e.c. got out over their skis on this. >> frank aarons will be blogging the living daylights out of this starting at 10:00 this morning. you can check that out on washingtonpost.com. coming up, a victim of a carjacking calls 911 and gets put on hold. now police are speaking out. we'll have that story coming up. it's 7:40 on this tuesday morning.

the maryland governor's race will have a similar look at the last go around and the polls are showing a tight race. this time pollster scott rasmussen joins us with more. scott, good morning. >> good morning, allison, how

are you today. >> i'm doing all right. we're talking about the o'malley ehrlich rematch and you say the numbers there show a virtual dead heat right now. >> right now governor o'malley is up 47% to 44%. that's a tad closer than it was a month or so ago when he had a 6-point edge. but right now we see the incumbent governor, like governors all across the country, struggling a little bit because of the economy and the strains that's put on the state and the state budget. >> you also broke it down further, talking about the numbers of o'malley's approval rating ande are very interesting as well. basically 29% say they strongly disapprove of the job that the governor has done, but that's compared to 22% of who strongly approve. the numbers are very tight there. 28% somewhat approve, 19% somewhat disapprove. really tight. what can we take from these sort of numbers? >> the state of maryland is

easily divided. 50% approve at some level. 48% disapprove. i think the important thing here, you led with it first, a 29% of those who strongly disapprove is nowhere near as negative a number as some other governors who faced during these economic times. here in my state of new jersey corzine's numbers were strong when he lost his re-election. the governor has a divided state and the numbers aren't what he would like but they are not terrible. >> ehrlich's michael steel has gone on to be the chairman of the national republican party and you did a similar breckout on the job people think he's doing. how do those numbers look? >> 56 believe he is unfavorable. i think the number that is

surprising and disconcerting to steele and his supporters. only 63% of republicans like what they see from michael steele these days. and you would expect as a home state hero, he would be doing much better among republicans. >> scott rasmussen. we'll end it there. thank you so much. you can check out all of the polls online. we have a link on myfoxdc.com. 7:46 right now. let's check in with tony for a look at our forecast on this tuesday morning. >> the current temperatures around the region. we remain for the most part in the 50s. it is 55 in washington. 54 in annapolis. fredericksberg just changed to 57 degrees and dulles is at 53 degrees. here is a look at your regional temperatures. 48 in new york city, 42 in pittsburgh, pa. raleigh is cool at 52 degrees. and a look at the local satellite radar will show you the precipitation this morning has pushed out and dissipated, so no more precip for our viewing area. there are a couple of showers longerring in the eastern

april 27th. it is 7:51. perhaps with the sun out there now, more people are thinking about wedding. >> may just said wedding. may and june. whether your wedding is a low- key event or a full on blown- out extravaganza. a lot of effort goes into planning the big day. >> holly is getting wedding tips from the experts. at a new place called the hive. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, allison. don't discount april. you got married in april. >> i know. but i'm looking forward. >> reporter: this is a whole good season. we are definitely in the thick of things when it comes to weddings. it's a $40 billion industry and when you go about planning your wedding, on average you'll be working with about 40 businesses or so. so it's a lot. it's very special. but there is a lot to do and a lot to keep in mind and that's where the hive at 1511 comes

in. it's a new spot that brings three businesses together. maria is with one of the businesses in here. tell us about the con seventy -- concept of the hive. >> we have kate headily photography and simple song design and we decided to join forces. we all work together on a lot of weddings and wanted to have a space to meet with clients and teach classes. >> reporter: you're cutting down on the errands, the places the bride has to go. and tell me what you are working on here. >> so what we have here, talking about things to keep to a budget but still prothe guests with elegant details. this is a welcome gift box that you can assemble and leave for your guests staying at hotels and we've just put a few things together and we've taken things that are easy to find, all of thesitems can be purchased at michaels or a grocery store. >> reporter: and this is such a nice thing when people have

made the effort to come and they have something like this. and it looks like it costs a gazillion dollars. >> exactly. it looks elegant and it's just a wood box. we've taken paper and cut it down to size and provided a metro pass and map so your guests can get around d.c. >> reporter: and i want to make sure people understand why you are a full service planner. and you also hold a workshop to teach people everybody can afford a wedding planner and on how to plan a wedding yourself. >> we're offering a class called tieing the knot on your final wedding details. it's for the bride 90 days out and they can come and go over final plans, reminder calls to vendors and make sure everything is put in place. >> reporter: i'll let you keep working and i'll come over to sue ann song, part of the simple song design. and you also do a full service

thing but teach people as well. so quickly tell me about what you do? >> i do specifically custom letter press invitations for mostly wedding and i work with the bride, starting out with their inspiration and developing a whole invitation suite. >> reporter: and then you have the workshop on how to do the letter press. >> so people who are just curious about it, they can come in for a day, for five hours and learn from beginning to end to learn how to do the printing. >> reporter: and kate, our photographer, the one hiding from the camera, and tell me about the concept of photographer when it comes to the weddings? >> people are getting their photography, let's see it was -- okay they are getting ready shots, they are getting the day off. >> reporter: the whole experience. and you can see kates photos around and there are people

that prefer candid. and you also hold a workshop on introduction to slr. >> yes. i'm teaching people video photography and about film photography which is what i specialize and they can come and learn how to take unique photos. >> reporter: and you might learn how to take a photo that will be on the cover of a magazine. because kate happens to be the cover shot there of the washingtonians edition for brides. so i think she knows what she's talking about. in fact all of these ladies do. we only just brushed the tip of the iceberg here. myfoxdc.com is our website and we have a link to the hive at 1511. but also since we are talking about weddings, we're going to talk about the dress. in the next hour we have corrine's here and we'll find out the latest trends in dresses and after that we'll talk about wedding cakes. so we've talked about one two, three, maybe five of the 40 businesses you'll need in order to get your wedding day ready.

but hey, it's a start. right guys. >> good thing we have more time for you, holly. it is now 7:57 on this tuesday morning. coming up in a few minutes, we'll reveal another wax figure that may soon hit madame tussauds in d.c. and schools around the country are changing their course lowe load to focus on ethics. we'll take a closer look in the next hour, coming up. here's to the believers.

the risk-takers. the visionaries. the entrepreneurs... who put it all on the line to build and run their own businesses. at at&t, we know something about that. our company started out in a small lab, with not much more than a dream.

and today, we know it's small businesses that can create the jobs america needs. that's why at&t is investing billions to upgrade and build out our wired and wireless networks. making them faster, smarter, and more secure. connecting small businesses to markets across the country, and around the world. we invest now, because we know it will pay off... with new jobs, new growth, from a new generation, putting their belief in the future on the line. now is the time for investment and innovation. the future is waiting. and the future has always the future is waiting. and the future has always been our business. at&t.

sent to us by tony clark. he found golf ball size hail in king george, virginia, yesterday. tony, you had a quiz cal look on your face. >> no. is this yesterday or monday. i think this was -- yesterday was monday. >> oh, yeah. okay. thank you for the photo tony clark. >> thank you. >> what else want to know? >> is it going to rain today? >> somewhere. but not here. >> is the humidity going to be low. >> a little bit. there is a slight chance of showers to the south. here are your head lines. generally improving conditions. sun and clouds today. well the clouds are pretty much working their way out of here. that is nice. not too bad. winds pick up and it will be rather breezy today.

we've already had winds gusting up to 24 miles per hour. wednesday through saturday, well some would say award winning as we're going to see improving conditions, warmer temperatures and then next storm system looks like it's not until late sunday. here are the current temperatures around the region. let's see any updates here in washington. 56 degrees. we've gone up one degree. 55 in annapolis. quantico 55. martinsberg, 52. frederick, maryland is 57. and one more virginia temperature, let's go to culpeper, 55 degrees right now. and there are your showers. bye-bye, they are gone. they are still in delaware but we are done with them here and the clouds pushing off to the east as well. a lot of clear sky out there so a very nice mid morning shaping up for us. your day planner for today, we'll see a good amount of sunshine during the course of the day today. highs into the mid-60s. even the upper 60s in parts of

the area. all right. that's a look at what is happening with the weather. more is coming up in just a little bit. that's the latest. >> going to be a great weekend, but it's only tuesday though. can i wait. >> it's going to be good. >> we'll get there soon enough. let's check in with julie wright. >> good things come to those who wait. >> but it's just tuesday. >> i've been waiting on lunch from tony p. it's going to be a buffet out of proportion. >> an all you can eat buffet. >> don't promise me that, tony p. these pants have elastic waistline in them, that's all i'm saying. on the roads, southern california bound 29 at university boulevard a crash. traffic management center tells me it's all gone but the delay is here. randolph road bumper-to-bumper as you inch down toward university boulevard. the closer to the beltway, the more the pace improves but this is the ride headed south. 95 still jammed up out of

laurel down to 212 and earlier incident there cleaned. eastbound on the free way, traffic coming from the 14th street bridge over towards main avenue, accident, two car fender-bender still crowding the right lane and expect delays across the potomac. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. now to wall street. the executives on capitol hill this morning who are testifying, talking about top bankers from goldman sachs getting ready for a grilling by senators. they have a lot of questions for the executives. today's hearings are supposed to focus on the role they played on the financial crisis but recent dominations. and frank shapiro joining us. and it seems no matter how much grilling from lawmakers, what is the end result. >> the pressure to enact financial reform.

and goldman sachs and all of the financial institutions do and practice what we might consider reprehensible or shady treatment of their clients, that they are accused of shorting real estate when selling it to people to go long. but it's not just goldman sachs. and the financial industry pumps millions of dollars, including goldman sachs, into washington. and goldman sachs' alumni roster in washington is good. you have jason firmman. mark patterson, chief of staff to tim geithner. and he used to be the chief lobbiest for goldman. and then gary gensler, in charge of the futures trading commission, which will wind up potentially regulating the derivatives at the center of the goldman fraud charges. so do you really think that congress will do anything with so many goldman alumni intertwined with this stuff. >> and that's the big issue. everything is so closely tied in. i was talking last hour with a business editor from the washington post and one of the

things he said, looking down the road, no matter what happens today, the other top companies are still going to want goldman sacks to do their deals for them. so those of us who are not making billion dollar deals on wall street, are we going to see any fallout from this? will it make any difference. >> the fallout would be contained in the financial regulatory reform bill. i'm sure you've reported this morning that the key test failed. but the republican and democrats are hammering out what this will look like. but the question is with all of this negative will towards goldman and the financial industry, what is this legislation that they are putting together really going to do as far as as the consumer financial protection agency and the ability to unwind a feature lehman brothers and prevent this in the future. i jokingly talk about this as

the f-word; fraud, failure and financial. and many think it is -- like a word that is jewish, fagatat in jewish. >> what will happen at the end of the day? >> money talks, and you know what walks. >> adam shapiro. thank you very much. we appreciate that. in the wake of questionable deals and the recent economic collapse, many business schools across the country are reemphasizing ethics. jonathan seare has the story. >> reporter: the economic crisis and scandals in the corporate sector have prompted the nation's business schools to placed renewed emphasis on the study of ethics, obviously when everything is booming and the economy is doing well, and who is thinking about economics and everybody is making money and it's hard to think about these things during those times. but i think in the light of the recession's latest scandals it

brings its point home that this is very important. >> principal leadership and ethical judgment have to exist at all times, good or bad. and awareness of principal judgment, it's so important and it should guide action and behavior. when that principal leadership gets pushed into the background, that's when problems start to happen. >> reporter: here the emory university, ethics courses go against cheating and embrace responsibility to employees, customers and the community. and how managers should respond when they see problems. >> if someone doesn't take action it can snow ball and you can end up in a situation like you have with toyota where if someone doesn't speak up in a way that gets some action or results, you're going to end up on the front page of the wall street journal. >> i think it's probably idealistic to assume that teaching ethics in business school will eradicate the world of improper people but i'm

optimistic coming out of this place is what we'll see is enough individuals doing positive things that will end up sadly not making these big events disappear, but i think put them in their proper context. >> reporter: so professor roberts hopes to continue the teaching of ethics will curb if not prevent future disasters in the world of business. jonathan seare, fox news. an economic boost for virginia. northrup grumman is moving its headquarters to the commonwealth. the ceo is looking into two locations. one near dulles airport and the other in crystal city near the pentagon. they are currently employing 300 people at their corporate head quarters in los angeles. and if you are looking for work, you can check out our job shop on myfoxdc.com. and our job of the day is at the aga con organization. they are a nonprofit looking to

welcome back. a college degree can help college students. but young hispanics don't look at college for their future. and raul romero is here with the hispanic scholarship fund. what is the goal of the scholarship fund. >> to have hispanics consider

college. we think it is a very good goal and we've been providing hispanics with scholarships to make college a good choice. >> and you ran some numbers, an initiative from the scholarship fund showed about 13% of latinos go on to get a college degree. i found that number so low. how is that compared to other groups living here in the united states? >> for example, african- american are 17% and anglos 30%. the overall population about 27% combined. so there is a great gap. but more importantly, one out of every five children in school these days are latino. and the growth of the has pinnic community is trem -- hispanic community is endless. and we're hoping to stop that gapment and this is the key to many opportunities. we need to close that gap from 13% and we're hoping to double it and we would like to put a

college degree in every latino household. >> and you have a new p.s.a. to get the event out. and you have an event going on today at the museum. and we're going to start rolling this p.s.a. and we'll talk about it because it's extremely powerful. it starts out how two lives can go two different ways and you see a young man here basically putting on a doctor's jacket versus a manual labor's jackest. and talk about it. >> we are aiming at the latino parents because we have found out that parents in latino households have a strong message to send to their kids. and so the p.s.a. is really aimed at that group of latinos' parents that have not had the information they need to get their children to go to school, to go to college.

and so that is what we are trying to portray. basically when a parent is telling their kids, you will go to college. and. [ speaking in a foreign language ], in spanish, your words today in english. >> and we just ran it there. and how it's edited and showed the two different paths. a very honorable work, but if you're looking for a better future, maybe a higher paying salary on a job, perhaps you should look at the college route. >> and we have seen it makes a difference. and so we feel if americans -- this is not only a hispanic issue, it's an american issue because truly the only way to close the gap and to get to numbers like 60% of americans holding a college degree, it is not possible unless a hispanic community doubles the number that we have today. >> and you also have a press conference today at the mission to kick off. and it's hard to think about college for families.
